Festive Prints

 

With Diwali just around the corner (tomorrow to be precise), festivity is definitely in the air here in India. I love festivities (give a girl a reason to shop/dress-up and ofcourse she's happy) and I could see the influence of Indian prints and accessories in my outfits without even having to try.

I've never been to fond of gold jewellery and accessories but lately I've developed a keen sense of liking towards them. 

I'm wearing the awesome bag sent to me by Ketchup Bags and Style-Pile in this post,I just love the purple and gold combination!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Diwali!

Be cool and don't burst crackers!

Ketch-ing Up with Style

Today's post  is a special and long over-due post to thank the awesome folks over at Ketchup Bags and StylePile for picking me as the winner of their Facebook contest! I was the lucky girl who won this beautiful purple bag from Ketchup :D in the contest organized by my all time favorite hub for online style and inspiration; StylePile!!! 

Talk about a good day!

I'd been looking forward to styling this bag since a while and wanted to do something slightly Indo-Western. Inspired by the purple and gold in the bag, I went for chunky gold accessories, a flouncy printed skirt and a bright top. I loved how the purple looked against the bright orange of the top, while the multi-coloured skirt brought the look together.

(I just realized that I'm such a colour-centric dresser (and, I'm making up words...again!)) 

 This purple suede bag has some stunning gold detailing and a vibrant satin lining inside, not to mention that delicate golden shoulder-chain.

I hope you all are having a nice weekend!
