Maroon Blush

Thanks to a college assignment I went 'Trend Spotting' to Karol Bagh Market (In New Delhi, India) yesterday, there wasn't much of any trend to spot but it was lots of fun! It was Delhi Metro zindabad!

I've always loved wearing blazers  ... of all kinds. It's really interesting how they started of strictly as part of formal wear but designers and trends have lapped up and played with this classic piece of clothing in all sorts of ways, season after season. It's been made short, fitted, over-sized, long, ruffled and even boyfriend-ed!

Even when worn casually, it always adds a put-together and chic look to any outfit. They are definitely my go-to pieces for days when I don't know what to wear.

The ruffling detail on this jacket/wannabe blazer won my heart, I used the belt to further accentuate the ruffles :)

I never got the chance to tell you guys that a few days ago I met up with the lovely Tanvi of The Fabulous Life of the Not so Rich and Infamous, she is one of the most inspiring and genuine (not to mention stylish) women I've met and we chatted endlessly about fashion, style, blogs, bloggers and life. Saying that it was a pleasure meeting her is an understatement! Check out her post about our little rendevouz here.

Of Ruffles and Tutu's

Today is my dearest mom's birthday, she's my best friend and also the most inspiring woman I  know...

Happy Birthday ma!

Birthday's (no matter who's it is) means dressing up for me :)

This is what i planned on wearing for lunch with family, but had to change at the last minute because it was a tad too dressy for the restaurant we were going to :(

I'm head over heels in love with this ruffled Club Monaco Lily scarf, the fabric is chiffon and the layered ruffles give it amazing feel and texture. I'm determined to wear it with multiple outfits this season.

Wearing:

Black V-neck t-shirt: thrift, off-white tutu and studded belt: Hong-Kong,

black tights: GK-I M bock market

Lily scarf courtesy Theme, heels: Bangkok, bracelet: Vintage

I felt like going all-out girl-y while keeping a slight edge to my look, hence the dollops of black!

Pretty tutu's and ruffled scarfs and heels make me happy :)

Shoes!

Below is a nice article I came across in today's HT City (page 9), so thought I'd share it with you guys. It talks about how some Hollywood movies and some stars (or should I say icons) changed the way we dress. Weather its Audrey Hepburn's LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany' s or Tom Cruise sporting the Ray Ban aviators in Top Gun...there will always be those people don't follow trends, but set them.

Thanks for stopping by
