Diwali Luxe with JMA Makeup & Fashion

Hello, you gorgeous people out there! Happy Diwali to one and all! Hope it's going great so far. At my place, I've just got done with the morning rituals and now prepping up for the 'maha pujan' for evening. 

As you know, diwali has always been my favorite festival, so I make sure I do something special so that every year it becomes a fruitful memory for everyone! This time I've got you guys a gala post showcasing one out-of-the-box festive outfit from JMA MAKEUP & FASHION STUDIO, where JMA stands for Jyotika Mirpuri Aroura, who is a bollywood celebrity makeup artist and fashion stylist.

Like always, I was on a search spree for a perfect Diwali attire, and reached out to JMA for some cool options. Interestingly, she not only pulled out a sexy outfit for me from her newly designed collection, but also gave me a complete beauty makeover that I surely want you all to check out! Guys, scroll down now..

When it comes to getting dressed for a festival, you will agree with me that it does become stressful because you have to take care while deciding what to throw upon yourself which will be comfortable throughout, as well as looks pretty enough to woo people around! With so many different styles to choose from, this year I rushed to JMA to pick my perfect festive outfit and got my hands on a set of beautiful crop top and lehenga pants! It looked breathtakingly stylish, giving a complete indo-western feel with the cold shoulder top made in raw silk, paired with the lehenga pants in silk and brocade. I loved the concept of the bottom wear with half lehenga and half pants, like quite quirky it appeared!

The design of the lehenga pants seem complex, but its the easiest to wear. Guess it took me a few seconds to pull up the elasticated pants and a few more to zip up the crop top, and I was all set. Coming to what actually takes time for females to get ready is the makeup and I witnessed it myself when Jyotika started painting my face with some MAC ad Kryolan products, giving me smokey eyes, elegant fresh face and dark pink lips. With my hair, the JMA team did something miraculous that looks like a messy bun on the side and raised pouf attaching a bold maang tika in the front. To complete the look, I wore a pair of brass earrings, a ring and handcuff that matched superbly with the outfit! 

For me, fashion is not what I see and take inspiration from on a regular basis. I mostly mix match clothes from wardrobe and get ready in minutes! Thus, it was surprising to see myself getting dressed for Diwali by JMA and that too 'flawless'! Jyotika Mirpuri Aroura is one of the country's best makeup artist and undoubtedly a terrific fashion stylist. Make sure you visit JMA Makeup & Fashion Studio in Lucknow at least once, to experience the excellent work Jyotika and her team does and trust me, you'll look stunning like you've never looked before!

Be the unconventional girl this Diwali

Say hey, my lovely ladies? Are you stressed? Not getting your perfect Diwali dress? Well, worry no more because I'm here to tell you something amazing! This festive season you gotta be the unconventional girl, the one looking the best, standing out of the rest!

To be true, Diwali is my most favorite festival and I wait for it whole heartedly every year. I feel that Diwali brings with it a sense of enthusiasm and festive fervour that no other Indian festival incites. In simple words, unless you live under a rock, you can’t possibly be impervious to the festive flavour in the air this Diwali. Now hold on tight because I'm going to take you to a fashion ride today, suggesting you an outfit for the big celebration day, and I'm sure you'll love it!

The festival of lights is just round the corner and you are running from pillar to post to make sure everything goes well. From making elaborate plans on how much sweets have to be consumed to deciding on the various designs of rangolis that you will draw at the doorstep, the card party at your place and the elaborate decoration that needs to be done in the temple area, everything is being chalked out well in advance. But did you decide your outfit for the day yet? If you are like me, you’re in a bit of a quandary about what to wear. You already wore that bling anarkali last year, the gota patti sari too has seen its day in the sun, a lehenga feels too OTT for the occasion. And that leaves you with – nothing!

Here I bring you something that you might have never thought would be apt for an occasion like Diwali, like such a grand affair! A light color, slit maxi top filled with quirky and exquisite prints like butterflies, from top to bottom worn with a pair of solid color leggings, heavy statement earrings with a chunk bracelet, a floral crown on my head, teamed up with a pair of green strappy heels in my feet where the gold color of stiletto adds to the much needed bling to the outfit is my pick for this year's biggest celebration and my favorite festival, like I mentioned above!

Saatchi Fashion, a designer store based in the heart of Bangalore is delivering some cool slit tops all over India now. They recently launched their festive collection with contemporary designs, mainly made up of cotton silk at much affordable rates; where maxi tops like these are the most in demand! The best apart is that the customer can choose to get the top customised as per her wish! I was quite adamant on not wearing any traditional Indian outfit this Diwali and this store came to my rescue on instagram! Diwali is all about the triumph of light over darkness, so I opted for lighter colored maxi top (looking much like a kurti though) covered with brighter coloured butterfly print that look so cool all the time, and that exuberant flair gives the maxi top a boho-chic look too! I couldn't stop dancing and making it go up-down, and in all directions, watching it flow and myself sway like never before!

Now, remember that Diwali is meant to be enjoyed so make sure you are happy and comfortable in the outfit of your choice. Also, whether you are out shopping at nights before Diwali or hosting a card party at home, staying fashion forward is a must! With the festive days just around the corner, the first thought that comes to mind is what to wear to make yourself stand out from the rest, so quickly go and take a look at Saatchi Fashion's latest collection right away and order some quirky, fun attires for yourself this Diwali to look & feel your best!

Wishing all of you a very Happy Diwali in advance! Make sure you have a green and a safe Diwali! Until then, sending across lots of love.
