So you just saw this last photo. What just happened? No, I am not one of those tourists who pull locals from the crowds for photos (ROFL). While I kept getting clicked myself , Uncle- as I would like to call him ran and stood with me and said, 1 with me too! And this happened twice in PARIS :O
**No comments**

So back to this look, I wore it on the 3rd day in Paris when I was to visit the famous Notre Dame cathedral and wander the streets of the heart of Paris- starting from the 4th district.This was also the day I caught a cold so terrible it left me after a week only after I was back in Mumbai. Aaachooo! Imagine catching a cold and feeling all cold in temperatures ranging 8-10 degrees. I decided not to feel defeated and defeat the cold instead. I kept my cool,stayed happy from within and thanks to determination, I could channelize all the positive energy and enjoy the remaining 7 days with a stuffy nose and a painful sore throat.Oh and that is the famous AMORINO gelato in my hands- I am a FANGIRL. AMORRRINNO!I had this gelato on atleast 3 days after catching cold :D :D I used tonnes of tissue papers to wipe my nose. Sorry france,If I used too much paper, I had to enjoy you anyways. Everywhere I went I was collecting tissues.I killed the cold, not physically, but mentally :D

Well, again, back to this look!!! God was so kind! I was passing by Bandra,hill road 3 days before I was to travel for Paris! This TRES CHIC jumper lined with fleece is one cosy and totally 'ON TREND' find . The typography trend is big since SS14 and I could not resist grabbing this piece even if it was a bit loose.

I somehow end up with vacations in Autumn/winters which is why I never get to wear the summer clothes. This time I was determined to wear my favorite skirt and the thermal tights were a blessing.

The thermal tights are another lovely steal from the M&S SALE in August this year! They surprised me with how warm and cosy they are & the style++.
WARM.TRES CHIC :)

Did you like this look? And does my nose look stuff here ? :D
More PARIS posts coming soon. Only if you enjoy them :D

Till next time
STAY TRES CHIC!

{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

Hello, Fashionistas!

This is yet another holiday set that I will be wearing on my next vacation . You saw the first one here. Everytime I explore places, I reveal the styling only after I am back from the vacation. This time I decided to do it the opposite way! Thanks to POLYVORE, a fashion website where you can upload your product images or search from a huge selection and create your own collages.

These collages will also ensure I do not forget to pack all the accessories along. Whenever I travel, I tend to pack a certain style together unless I wish to repeat it due to luggage constraints. This time, I am visiting a place where Autumn will set in and the temperatures will range from 10 degrees to 16 degrees. The place is a surprise , so that you don't lose track of my TWITTER and INSTAGRAM accounts for regular updates! Wouldn't it be exciting to see this collage when I actually wear it? What do you think?

Till next set, CIAO!

My flavor for the season is hippie. And I love feathers, tassels , boots and beads! My partner in crime is mostly my Promod purchases as this brand has everything for the free-spirited soul. And all of those bought in SALE!
Stay tuned for more such sets. Tell me if you like them!

Till , next set,

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!

The Urban Hippie ft. Blogger buddies

The SALE season has officially ended. I have added some really amazing pieces to my wardrobe this time. I had to create this look which combines the A/W pieces from 2013 suitable for the beginning of spring. I grabbed a wonderful biker jacket in white linen from ZARA at Rs.1290 .MRP was 4000 Rs. ( Check its high resolution image on my pinterest board ). I got wonderful hand-cuffs from PROMOD for under Rs.300 each( See the one i wore here)The promod skirt( Check the skirt on pinterest here) was something I was eyeing ever since it came to the stores. And I bought this on impulse with my blogger friend Shanaya. Yes, both of us liked it and bought it immediately, thanks to our blogger friend Amena who pushed us both into getting it! Now that is Blogger Love!
And this marks the beginning of a new series BLOGGER BUDDIES.

Shanaya and me love skirts and you can tell from the purchase we made. Not for a moment did we feel we shouldn't buy the same skirt as we might repeat. While she is still at college I have been working since 5 years! I thought it will be great to do a post where we style the pieces without knowing how the other has styled it, given the different age brackets we fall in! While I write, shanaya is sharing the picture of her shoot with me. You will see it at the end with a link to her blog. We had fun shopping the same skirt together and even more looking at the price tag of Rs.700 (60% off) ! Real huge smiles ! And yea, we might run more shopping trips together ! Tell me what you think of this look and the double take !
.

Angry ? At the sun!

As for the boots they were from Pavers England A/W 13 collection and my heart broke when i saw them in SALE (sob sob!) . This is my first ever pair of boots and I love them to death!

With a little mix and match , this look can have 4 different moods. Which one is your favorite?

******************************************************************************************

So here is the pretty Shanaya rocking her girlie look in that skirt.( Well, she hid the skirt here! So that you make sure to Check her post on her blog) . So here you go.
