Lacing in the Woods with Why So Blue Love

Hi my lovelies!! Hope ya'll are having an amazing vacation. Yes, I know some of you are also writing your exams these days, so good luck to each one doing so! 

Well, the heat is almost killing me and to top it all I too have my exams running. But, that doesn't mean I'm gonna keep you deprived of blog posts. Also, we have our second bloggerversary on the 28th of this month, so I'm excited about that too! I hope you're as excited as me....Eh?

Coming to today's post, it's a very very special story that I'm sharing with you all. Starting with, like many of you know, I am a huge fan of giveaways and love participating since last year. Luckily, I won many of them hosted by different bloggers and brands. Out of which, one of the gifts were from a fashion brand called WHY SO BLUE LOVE, where I won a Lace Skirt and another one was a beautiful Neckpiece from FUNKY FISH POPUP that I got through a fashion blogger, Priyadarshini Vijay (of HighOnStyle). It was around Diwali that I won both of these things and wanted to style it, but it took me over 6 months to finally share it with you (for just unavoidable reasons). 

Well, now that I've managed to create a complete look, below is a little representation which I'd like you all to check out. So scroll down, now.....

skirt : WhySoBlueLove | crop top : Shopnineteen | heels : Steve Madden

necklace : Funky Fish Popup | handcuff : Auhna Creations | rings : Myntra

My relationship with lace over the years has been clear and blunt : I hated it. Up until last year, when I received my first lace skirt from Why So Blue Love. It looked glamorous, trendy and super sassy! The short skirt green lining under the long lace skirt appeared edgy and creative. I felt the design was just made to complement my style and liking! Today, evening dresses, cocktail attires, summer and fall collections have more penchant for LACE, like so incredibly sexy, decadent, and very very seductive that I cannot believe I used to hate this fabric a year ago. 

Coming to my look, the skirt on closing, reached me above my waist and that's when I decided to team it up with a crop top. But not usual colors, because the off -white lace had to be toned with a darker color. So, I opted for a brown-cream printed crop from Shopnineteen, that echoed my mode of fashion instantly. I created an outfit that can be worn at different occasions at day or night both, just have to be matched with the right accessories. 

And for the time, I chose to add the big-bold-statement necklace from Funky Fish Popup that looked superficial because of its bronze, metal and stone blend and gave the much needed chunk and shimmer to the top, filling in the emptiness at the deep neck. Also, wore a metallic handcuff having bright colored flowers, and a white stone finger ring, in one hand and an oversized bronze ring on the other. At the end, simply wore my beige Steve Madden heels in my feet to complete my look and walk out like a diva!

Just as appealing as the name Why So Blue Love is, of a fashion brand that sells self-designed apparels online, is as appealing as their creations. The team of two fashion enthusiasts (one of them being a pro designer and the other one just having a lure for the term) one day decided to deliver some exquisite designs to girls who crave for exclusivity always, and brought WSBL into existence, and today they are spreading style love all over the country! Go, check out their latest summer collection and add some awesomeness in your wardrobes now.

Tassel Party with ZOTIQQ

Hi guys, hope y'all are doing good! I've been greeting you all for past 2 years the same way, and hats off to all of you for you never get bored. I love you people :*

Well, coming straight to point (and apologies for the delay from last month), this post is all about a fashion & lifestyle subscription brand called ZOTIQQ. Its an online platform where you can subscribe for a box of statement jewelry for a period of 3, 6 or 12 months depending upon your choice! 

I recently received my first box from Zotiqq in the month of April, and the brand sent me 5 tassel pieces that looked amazing. 

Take a look at what all I got in my surprise box, below :

1. Pearl and Gold Tassel Necklace - This is a versatile piece, that can we worn over solid color tops, evening gowns, or with indo-western clothing. I really like the blend of gold tassels with white pearl to tone down the shimmer!

2. Black Stone Pendant with Tassels and Long Chain - This is my favorite one in the box, because I can wear it all day long over t-shirts and tops, and it looks really casual and classy! 

3. Tassel bracelet - I really like the inter locking system of this bracelet, it gives such an exclusive appearance. Also, its made of braided thread in pastel colors and the tassels pop out instinctively. Best as a summer add-on I must say!

4. Set of Finger Rings - I opened up the box and saw a beautiful set of rings that included one bold piece and 2 midi rings that looked sleek and chic. I love the little, red tassel on the bigger ring, that's more of a unique design!

5. Earrings - These are the lightest pair of earrings I've ever worn in my ears that dangle down. It looks super pretty and the turquoise color being one of my favorites attracted me more, so yeah this is my second favorite piece in the box!

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

Two States in Lemon Chillo

Hola everyone! Hope you all are enjoying the spring months with all zeal? If not, wait for more bloom! ;)

Well, you might have got some idea from the title of this post that I'll be showcasing 'two looks' today; in association with LEMON CHILLO, a women's western wear brand offering a 'dash-of-lime' freshness in its designs. So, they sent me a pretty, colorful leaf printed maxi top and I being a lover of comfortable fashion chose to display two different looks using the same top that one can wear at different occasions. Take a look at both the looks below....

Look 1 - Contemporary Plush

top : Lemon Chillo | leggings : Yepme.com | footwear : Steve Madden | belt : Jabong

necklace, bracelet, ring : Privi Accessories | earrings : Accessorize

The first look that I've created with this high-low maxi top from Lemon Chillo is more of an urban, sophisticated trend that has an appealing appearance of its own. I teamed up the top with a pair of tangerine, high waist leggings that matches the multi color print (also having orange as one of them) on the top. Buttoned it up till the neck and secured the mid closing with a tangerine belt to give the whole look a structure, parting it rightly at the waist, to give a sleek fall beneath!

Since I created this attire keeping in mind a party look with all the vibrancy available, I completed it by adding some chunky jewellery pieces from one of my personal favorite online fashion jewellery stores, PRIVI ACCESSORIES (that sells through instagram only). The cream & magenta statement necklace, the gold plated-clear stone bracelet and the stone ring gave the much needed shimmer to the whole look and matched the pink stone earrings that I got from Accessorize as well. Keeping it all classy and posh, I chose to add my rose-gold heels in my feet and I was all done for this one!

Look 2 - The Roma Gyppo

shirt dress : Lemon Chillo | footwear : Hill Road (Mumbai) | belt : Jabong

necklace, silver metal bracelet : Shopnineteen.com

earrings, multi color bracelet, ring, anklets : Privi Accessories

Let me just break it to you that this second look I've created with the maxi top from Lemon Chillo is inspired by the Romanis of the Europe, originated from Northern India. Well, you must have already understood that by looking at my distinctive hairdo, but still I just wanted to let you know in detail. Now, coming to the semblance, I chose to wear the maxi top as a shirt dress since it looked pretty RAD to me. I knotted the flowy fabric ends of the dress to decline the drop, secured the mid rift with a belt looking like a waist band and buttoned up like a shirt completely to add some bohemian accessories that looked remarkable with all the subdued prints on the dress!

Everything artistic looks good to me and I like experimenting with my looks too, so for this one, I added a gypsy necklace with gold spikes on a turquoise block and a double silver cord from Shopnineteen, that matched the oxidised gold earrings that I got from Privi Accessories. Wore a heavy metallic bracelet on one hand, along with a multi color one on the other, and added a bronze ring in one finger only to balance the over all vibe. Also, chose to put on a pair of unconventional metallic anklets in each ankle with my flat, turquoise bellies to step out in vogue! Just to say, this look can unapologetically be worn at fashion weeks, or events that are a fashionably casual!

I really hope you liked checking out these two looks for summer/spring. Let me know which one is your favorite, in the comments below! Also, you can now FOLLOW ME on Snapchat (username : shubhigarg04) and stay in touch with me 24x7. How cool is that, no?

Summer Party with The Souled Store

Hey fellas! Rolling in the summer heat? Way too hot man I swear, the curse!

Chillin' at home, cooking green salad for meals for the entire day is what I've been doing past three days, leaving one evening aside when I had pizza, because hey that's BAE! Anyway, its a new day and like I promised I'd be regular with my posts from now, so leaving food aside for a bit, let's talk of fad.

THE SOULED STORE, an online marketplace that offers a variety of awesome products including cool printed t-shirts, funny boxers, unconventional posters, awesome bags and a lot more quirky stuff; sent me a few products to style, and this time I chose to go out of my comfort zone because I love taking fashion risks, and always have did, since school (If my friends are reading this, they're probably recalling all the times they wanted to punch me in my face for embarrassing them while I posed along for a picture, looking shabby AF! But I hope no more :P) and unapologetically shoot the following look and share it with y'all.!

t-shirt, bag : The Souled Store | poncho : Janpath (Hazratganj, Lucknow) | boots : Mochi

ring, earrings : Privi Accessories | bracelets : Local Stall

Well, its getting hotter everyday, and when I think of classic summer wardrobe pieces, the first thing that comes to my mind is t-shirts. I mean it's just so versatile. You can layer it up, wear it with jeans, skirt, pants, leggings and even WEAR IT AS A DRESS! The comfort of a tee + a mini dress, that's what an over size t-shirt does for you when you're picking a day party outfit! This red, quirky tee from The Souled Store that had 'Grammar Nazi' written on it, came in a size that was just too long to wear with a pair of jeans. I chose to throw it upon myself impromptu like a frock and layer it up with a crochet-sequin poncho to give some shimmer, that I bought almost 12 years back with my sister from a local shop in Hazratganj. I'm sorry but I really don't know if and where you'll get something so chic now a days!

The t-shirt being long enough for me to wear it as a dress, totally worked. And to complete the look, I wore a pair of dark grey ankle boots, stacked a few monochrome bracelets in one hand to keep the swag on, a multi pearl ring on the other and wore my recent favorite dangler earrings in bronze, from an instagram store called Privi Accessories, to tone down the overall vibe; and of course tied my hair into a pony to beat the heat like a pro! Lastly, carried a red tote bag that has a half pizza made on it, wait, hello, pizza....like pizzaaaaaaa!!! This bag is my favorite(est) and is so spacious and so comfortable to carry too, the best of summer bags I've ever owned. So funky, from The Souled Store!

I really hope you liked this quick summer look. If you did, do try it and drop a comment below when you do, or just mail me a picture of yours so that I can see what experiments more could we do with tee as dresses! Also, you can now FOLLOW ME on Snapchat (username : shubhigarg04) and Instagram to keep in touch with me 24x7. Yayy!! :)
