OnlyXGarfield

Remember the grumpy orange cat telling us that 'Good Morning is a contradiction in terms?' Oh yes, the epitome of laziness, obsessive eating, coffee, and disdain of Mondays and diets, GARFIELD is back after spawning several animated games, TV shows and movies to make its mark in the fashion world. One of the leading fashion brands, ONLY has recently launched its designer collection featuring one of the world's favorite animated character who not only tickled our ribs while we read his comic strips, but also made us fall in love with cats and kittens in so many years!

shirt : ONLY | shorts : Forever21 | shoes : StreetStyleStore | bag : StalkBuyLove

hair clip : Faballey | bracelets : Myntra

ONLY is one of my on-the-go clothing pick brands and I love to pull off their pieces because they're so voguish and comfy. The latest collection in the stores mark the crazy antics of Garfield in so many different styles that got me super excited and I chose to pick the striped longline shirt in powder blue color and cotton fabric, to carry in trend! I teamed it up with a pair of denims shorts and white ankle boots and accessorized minimally with bracelets and a bright orange feather clip to keep in sink to the color of the character print. A bag was just an optional addition and you can ditch it if you're only lazing around in the lounge this summer!

Having said that, is there anything more satisfying than bossing an outfit your mates can only dream of pulling off? Obviously not! But, because almost everyone already towing the long line was failing hard, it made me think for a while if this shirt is what I'm gonna try my hands on for atleast once and I love how effortlessly chic it appeared! Wearing your clothes oversized, longline-loving, proportion-playing, silhouette-shifting pieces offer a way and its only you who can to cut through and make your style known. So girls, barge into the ONLY stores today or find the shirt online on KOOVS, go for it and let me know how else did you pair up this Garfield piece (or more from the collection). I'll be waiting for your tags on instagram!

New Year's Party Looks (ft. ONLY)

Hola people! With just a few more hours left for 2016 to end, I hope this year has been great for all of you. Many of you must have made plans to attend new year eve parties, and many of you have already put reminders for different award shows flashing on TV tonight, I know. Well, whatever you have scheduled, one thing you can be sure of is a great welcome for 2017 in high spirits!

Having said the above, let me tell you that I've planned for an evening out with my friends to celebrate NYE in passion, and have got 2 different looks up for you in this post using the same short sequin dress I bought recently from ONLY, and plan to wear tonight (well of course carrying just one of the looks myself).

ONLY, as a brand needs no elaborate explanation as it holds a prominent name in the fashion world for all style enthusiasts! While strolling in the brand store, I found this eye-catching blue and black sequins dress hung on a mannequin and I knew its going to be in bag within minutes. Its widely said that sequins can take any outfit from 0 to 10 instantly, but full-on sequins isn’t everyone’s cup of champagne. Below are two different looks I've created by adding different layers and accessories to my dress, proving that I'm definitely one of the enthusiasts to sport sequins in style, so scroll down below to check them out now..

Look #1 - Sexy Mania

dress : ONLY  |  jacket : StalkBuyLove.com  |  heels : FactoryRush.com

watch : Fossil  |  earrings : H&M  |  rings : Myntra

Its quite cliche but also very attractive when comes to wearing flashy clothes for parties. Many of us eschew the quintessential glittery cocktail attire and want a look that’s eye-grabbing and festive. And there’s no shortage of strategies for composing such a thing — after all, sequins were one of 2016’s standout trends.

For my first look, I layered my cut sleeves sequins dress with a black leather jacket (essential to keep me warm) with intricate gold mechanisms. Hung a pair of black tassels from H&M and threw in a pair of black peep-toes that are way too comfy for a dance night! Sporting a black metallic wrist watch was a last minute decision because it just gave a wild and sexy appearance as complimenting my jacket!

Coming to my makeup, I wanted something bold and outrageous, so my dear friend and an amazing MUA, Divya Vishnani gave me a striking blue eye shadow with winged liner, little blush on my cheeks and bright red lips. We did a mix of straightening and curling with my hair and I was all set to step out for a gala night!

Look #2 - Fun Fancy

dress : ONLY  |  shrug : Fashion Big Bazaar (FBB)  |  shoes : StreetStyleStore.com  |  clutch : StalkBuyLove.com

bracelets : Auhna Creations  |  earrings : Colaba (Mumbai)  |  rings : Myntra

You may call it unrealistic, but you gotta believe me when I say that a glitzy sequins outfit can be worn even for a day party. For many of us who prefer sleeping off the new year's eve, often plan for a day out with our dear ones, and mostly for an extravaganza where all of want to look our best! This new year, pick a swanky shimmer dress like mine and layer it with a full sleeved, sparkly black shrug to keep it light and comfortable. Sport your favorite metallic slip-ons to jump around freely!

You can get away with some large, flashy jewelry for the occasion, but there is still such a thing as "too much of a good thing." Instead of wearing several large pieces of jewelry, find one piece that can take center stage like round chandelier earrings and stack a few finger rings & bracelet lines to keep it simple and subdued! 

PS : I carried the same showy eye-makeup for this look too, as was seen above in the first one, and also the same hairdo. Though, you can always go ahead and experiment with your ideas!

-----------------------------

I really hope you liked this post. Count this as a quick present from me to you for the last of 2016. This year has been wonderful for me with a little tit bits here and there, but I'm grateful to each one of you for always appreciating my work and motivating me and helping me do my best each time. As we bid goodbye tonight, let's all make a wish for a bigger and better 2017 for everyone around. 

Keep in touch with me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and follow me on Snapchat for my daily madness. Until next time, lots of love and best wishes!

Red Leather Spirit

Hey pretty ladies!

I have a good news, the temperature has finally dropped and we have started to feel the right chills; which means we can now pull out the heavy winter wear and flaunt our favorites! Yeah, the winter shopping you did last month won't go waste :D

Today's post is a much requested one. A lot of you on my Snapchat asked me to showcase "how to wear red leather" for winters, and I being a red hater since always had been avoiding it since long but finally got something really exciting that pitched my eyes and I couldn't resist buying it for myself! All details listed below.

skirt, stockings : Forever 21 | jacket : StalkBuyLove | tee : ONLY | shoes : SheSense

clutch : Glitstreet.com | rings : Mesh Bag | bracelets : Auhna Creations

For a long time ‘faux leather’ clothes and accessories tended to be cheap, tacky and clumsily-designed, until now! The explosion of trendy vegans such as Stella McCartney and Natalie Portman has seen fashion houses make better use of high-quality, eco-friendly materials, which look, feel and even smell just like the real thing. I'm not the least bit surprised that leather skirts have become an imperative part of the most fashionable closets. Who can resist an article of clothing that is both universally appealing and endlessly versatile? Certainly not me! Leather skirts are an investment-worthy item for sure, and thanks to a myriad of silhouettes and gorgeous colors, that have officially rendered themselves a fresh choice for fall & winter too! And, I recently got my hands on a sexy, red colored, faux leather skirt from Forever 21 which is one classic piece I couldn't resist owning. The pleats give it an edgy look and makes the skirt appear more feminine and elegant!  It adds curves where there’re not, it hides them if it’s the case, and creates long legs due to its high waist and mini cut; so I simply love it! 

Well, never like before, I bought not just one but two red leather clothes for myself this season (Yes! I am amazed too). While pondering over what to team the red leather skirt with, I thought of creating a coordinate look, topping it with a red, faux leather blazer. Both the products look so similar, as if bought from the same brand; but no, the blazer is from my favorite online stores - StalkBuyLove.com! This blazer has a single button closing and two pockets which make it worthy enough. Its quite warm too and I really like the fabric that is actually not creepy! Coordinating the faux leather skirt with the same fabric blazer became a super easy task by adding a few more essentials like a beige colored tee, tucked inside the skirt that appeared quite fashionable & posh! A pair of black, sophisticated, pantyhose stockings in the legs and my recent favorite boot shoes from SheSense almost completed the entire look appearing extremely cute and comfortable! For the accessories, I chose to add a super pretty instagram clutch designed by the amazing Puneet Gupta, available exclusively at Glitstreet.com (yeah, I know you're jealous); a few bracelets that matched the beige tee and my shoes; and a few gold rings stacked up in my fingers for a perfect chic look and I was all set to step out!

Wearing red leather never seemed so effortless and classy before, but I surely recommend this look since I believe it will enhance the most feminine side of you girls! You can try to be creative with tee colors and shoes and of course your accessories. PS : I hope you liked this post, and if you really do, don't forget to drop in some comments below letting me know the same.
