{FASHION} What I wore in PARIS ft.LOUVRE

THE LOOK:( I CALL IT A STEAL!)

Metallic grey jacket- DEBENHAMS ( SALE -Rs.1700.MRP-5500)

Heart Cropped jumper- (HILL ROAD, Rs.250)

Tassel Belt -PROMOD( SALE -Rs.1000,MRP-Rs.2200)

OMBRE pants- ONLY( Sale Rs.1000, MRP- 2500)

Black Suede leather boots-  Springfield( From Pax-Colaba at just Rs.990, for an export piece of 55GBP)

Grey warmer- JOCKEY( Rs.300)

I loved doing these jumpy shots,because everyone around didnt bother. If you look closely, you see 2 couples almost so much in love. There was a certain air of romance and people dont shy, In france, the expression of LOVE is to let go, SET FREE- sealed with a kiss ;)

Hello folks!

I know you were waiting for these posts for a while now. I so wanted to reach Paris & discover that it was overly-hyped but NO! I fell in the trap. This beautiful city is indeed a gem. So dense, so artsy, even an year would be less to discover every interesting thing about this well-preserved capital. I will be telling you more about the city in my travel section, for now lets get back to our favorite-THE CLOTHES!

Paris is the fashion capital of the world and this made me google extensively on what i should wear to look as stylish as every Parisian around.I had all the pretty dresses with lace, stripes and flare on my mind, ofcourse complete with bumblebee glasses and a pretty hat. But ,SUPRISE! I did none of that. Forecasts said temperature range would be between 10-15 degrees and I didnt want to rattle in the cold like last year in Rome! ANOTHER SURPRISE: The parisians dress very much like how I did in Autumn. Every youngster has an edgy punk-rock-ISH vibe about his/her clothing. None of them really feminine. Though I did see the grandmas wearing the kind of stuff we imagine parisians would wear!

I carried 2 boots- The BEST idea ever. The trick is to keep your feet warm and the rest of the body can bear a little lesser warm clothes. Two warm tights to wear with the boots- The Marks & Spencer thermal tights did a wonderful job(Will show in the next post). Two Jackets- One I wore here: My favorite jacket ever from Debenhams( Got it for Rs.1700 in SALE,MRP 5500). Its a steal and ups your glamor quotient instantly- yes those frills make it look so awesome!

For my face, I wanted a nude look- So i opted for bold eyebrows( eyebrow liner + Loreal Kajal Magique) and Bourjois lip liner in No.12 and Deborah Milano Atomic Matt in No.2 . Wore Za Collagen cream with with my Rimmel London BB CREAM and BOOM- I loved how this turned out!

I wore this to the LOUVRE musuem , yeah , a date with Monalisa had to have a HEART! This quilted heart cropped top is warm and I got it for dirt cheap in Bandra(Rs.250) . It might still be around hill road , if you may want! No, I am not giving away this one yet! Hope you enjoy this look!
Stay tuned for all the FRANCE -WHAT I WORE posts & travel posts!

Till next time,

AU REVOIR

How people react to style posts!

*Grumble ALERT*

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” 
― C.G. Jung

"Why don't you get into modelling?". "Looking great. You must get into modelling. Don't you get offers?" Its about time you get out of your day job and get into the fashion industry" . " I totally feel you deserve a break in the fashion magazines and that you must try your luck there. What are you doing here?"

And many more... I appreciate that people think so much about me. Its comforting to know people appreciate your work so much and wish all the good things for you.

Well, I wish i did get offers for modelling. But then, My blog is about STYLING and not modelling.I started the blog to share my personal style and styling tips. Not my face.  Since it is my personal style , I cannot have someone else wear it on the blog. How would it be personal style then? So what is styling you ask? In layman language- Styling means dressing up just the way you do everyday based on your mood, occasion, time of the day, weather etc. Styling is putting together an entire look top to bottom( tops, bottoms, accessories, footwear etc). The best part is playing dress-up. A same piece of cloth can be worn in a multiple ways and that is what is exciting about Styling!

Someone said, "Great pictures there, where did you get that blazer from?" . Whaaa!!! I did not write all that Ramayana(Read TEXT) for myself. Someone just pinged me. "Nice pictures.Ok, What is your blog about, again?" Perhaps an FAQ section might help.

Before I leave, this is my quick Office wear to Party wear transformation when I attended Lakme Fashion Week. Just add those pointy heels and the chunky black neckpiece and cuff . I wore the scarf as a half poncho.

Selfie is mandatory especially when you can't grab enough people for solo snaps!

Its good if its BLACK!

“Black is not sad. Bright colors are what depresses me. They’re so… empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not.”

1. My HAIR

Do you notice the bounce and shine in my hairs? Well, its nothing but a new found love. And I held my excitement for a good fortnight before I the broke the news to you! A drugstore brand has finally been generous to my hair. Its formulated in the Indian labs by a PARISIAN company . With extracts of 6 nutritious oils, its a miracle packed in two bottles: The shampoo and the conditioner, launched recently by the brand's latest face - Katrina Kaif. Well then , you guessed it : L'OREAL PARIS 6 OIL NOURISH Shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner is arguably the best i have found after the one from Moroccan Oil range. A treat for the Indian hair at a competitive price

! My oily scalp loves this conditioner which can be applied on the scalp as well! No Fuss! Try for yourself.

2. MY KOHL

My daily essentials include my kohl and a lipcolor. The Kohl has to be black and smudge-free besides being long-lasting. Unfortunately many smudge-free kohls failed on my sensitive eyes. I use lenses and my eyes are typically dry. Even the slightest foreign particle disturbs my eyes. I am so glad L'OREAL KAJAL MAJIQUE is my true-match. It doesn't irritate my eyes and stays for 5-6 hours on my eyes . Reliable and reasonably priced and certainly a permanent addition to my SOS kit!

My favorite Thin crust Pizza at LE CAFE, RCITY MALL ,GHATKOPAR

3. My OLIVES

Enough vanity. Lets talk food. I love olives, the black ones. Thin crust pizzas are incomplete without a generous sprinkle of olives. I love olive tapenade in sandwiches and danish. (Theobroma,Mumbai). I love them in my subs too! And yes, In my hummus! So , thats a long list. I love black olives :)

What is your list of blackest black?
