Tulip & Blush (ft. Stalkbuylove & Aarna Designs)

"Make it simple, but significant." — Don Draper

The quote above helps me remind you that I have always been a lazy girl when it comes to dressing, but I make sure whenever I dress up, it gets its own kinda appreciation. My personal style has never been fancy or over-the-top. Its pretty simple, easy and elegant, and people who've met me know it well! But, I really have a thing for indo-western clothing, and as with the years Indian styles have got boring, Indian women like me decide to mix and match cuts, fabric, necklines, waistlines, embellishments and various other technicalities, to form an entirely different kind of clothing that would suit modern needs and satisfy today’s tastes!

So, bringing together a few pieces from different online brands, I've managed to construct a look that's booming a trend this season with Tulip Pants. With its forgiving silhouette – billowing on top, narrow at the ankles, and with layers of airy fabric, these pants have become the home of traditional summer classics. They are not as baggy as the salwar, but still airy enough to beat this heat. It comes in a range of fabric from lawn to cotton, and silk or chiffon. It certainly gives a hippy feel but is graceful at the same time! Check out the entire look below..

We all know, that indo-western trend offers umpteen choices for fashion savvy shoppers who are ready to experiment with variations in styles. Not only are they stylish, but also make the wearer to stand out in the crowd. A similar add-on is the tulip pants that gets quite true when you try it with simple tops! Tulip pants are another version of dhoti pants as we widely know about in India, from Pakistan. These are mostly paired with kaftan tops and kurtas, but ofcourse in other places its more of a free-will to pair it with shorter pieces!

I chose to pick a pair of blush pink tulip pants from StalkBuyLove, one of my favorite clothing brands of all times. They have such stunning summer pieces that keep my eyes rolling! Teamed it up with a solid black, full sleeved crop top from Koovs and glitter heels from Steve Madden (mind you, I love buckles, they help me stay in place). Accessories being an important part of the indo-western styling, had be going in for over sized bohemian earrings from Aarna Designs, with multi-colored tassels with pink popping out the most, and mirrors that reflected shine along with a few metallic finger rings from H&M. Best fitted for a season party or Indian functions, this look is for the girls who often want to ditch the regular kurta salwar, and opt for something creative and stylish!

PS : I went in for a subtle summer makeup that looked perfect for both day and night events. A fresh pink face with little glitter on the eyes, bright pink lips and midtone contouring! More like a diva, eh?

Summer Beano with H&M

Hola loves! No, imma talk about the scorchy weather anymore! I'm only going to be sharing with you positive thoughts and if you're anything like me, you know it's power, when accustomed with fashion. Yes, summers do call for light fabric and soft color clothing, but what if your wardrobe hasn't got a makeover from the winter collection in it yet, and what if you're a dark color fanatic?! How do you stay true to your personal style when the seasons change and your look is no longer in?

Well, I've partnered with the luxury clothing brand H&M to show you guys a recent look I created while picking two so-called winter colors from their store in New Delhi and teamed up for a summer party look! Check out all the pictures and details about my look below..

top, skirt, rings : H&M | shoes : StreetStyleStore.com

When it comes to summer wardrobe, we may find ourselves lacking some of the essentials. We either own too many work outfits or too much lounge-wear but no outfits for those errand-running days. Well, this season H&M's summer collection provides you many outfit ideas in your preferred dark colored interests, that allow you to look fashionable without overdoing it. My recent visit to the H&M store had me falling for it, and I picked two pieces that took me 10 seconds to pair up and create a perfect on-the-go beano look!

When we're talking about summer party outfits, two things we're more concerned about is how breathable the clothing is, and what amount of bling would look good! When I chose to pair the silver-grey kitted top with an A-line, silk-crepe dark grey skirt, I knew both fabrics are lustrous and airy. The top is partially see-through with a cute criss cross design covering the cleavage and the skirt gives your body a perfect silhouette (especially if you're petite and heavy on hips). I simply tucked in the top in the skirt that I wore high waist, and added high heeled white boots from StreetStyleStore to compliment the look! The choice of adding a few metallic rings from H&M's accessories section, to highlight my newly done nail art by Juice Salon Lucknow, definitely seemed a wise one.

At the end, my MUA gave me half pig-tail braids, with bold grey smokey eyes, deep contouring and wine lips to keep it classy and elegant, and its evident that the entire look can be donned for a day party or a night celebration like a true glam doll!

I hope this quick party look has made you feel comfortable already. Its not about how simple wearing a skirt and top is, but all about how you choose to pair dark colors mixed with lighter tones for the season! 

PS : Currently, H&M doesn't offer online shopping, so you gotta rush into stores available at selected cities in India. But if you have any queries about my look or the products, please feel free to drop a comment below. Also, do tell me if this look is something that you'd like to carry sometime soon!
