Polka Dots

I wore this outfit to college this week, it's my last semester at NIFT, and I can't believe I'll be leaving in a few months! Such a scary/exciting thought!

It's always like that when you're about to end one phase of your life and start another right?

I love the girly feel this outfit has, the blush polka-dot blouse with ruffles on the shoulders and lovely detailing at the front + my favorite trend of the season; the pleated skirt ! (also worn HERE and HERE)

I don't know if you've noticed, but, I've been playing around a little with the type/style of photography I do on the blog, I'd love to know what you guys think of it, did you like the old style better or is this more fun?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Weekend!

Do you Re-Cycle?

These photographs are against a backdrop made by the 'Fashion Communication Department' at NIFT, Delhi. It was my absolute favorite from amongst all the stuff put up at the 3 day extravaganza that was SPECTRUM 2011 :)

Isn't it super fun? + it has a message, which in my books gives it a perfect 10!

This outfit is mainly basic, solid and dark hues, but I feel, the silhouette and layering makes it current. I added some shape and blinged it up a little with my black and gold belt from Accesssorize.  I have to admit that I have a ruffle-fetish going on and these ruffled ballet flats are part of that :)

Some days I tend to go all out colour (as you will see in my next post!) and other days I lean towards grey, navy and blacks. It's a complete mood thing!

Do you have your favorites? or does your mood (and occasion of course)) dictate your outfits colours???

Wearing:

Blue dress: thrift, black tights: Hong-Kong, Grey sweater: Promod, cropped black blazer: Hong-Kong, ruffled flats: Linking Road, Mumbai, belt: Accessorize, hair-band: Forever 21

Comic art anyone? :P

Thanks for stopping by,

Professional Practices

 I'm doing a Masters in Fashion Management (MFM) from National Institute of Fashion technology (NIFT), Delhi and we have jury's and presentations as part of some of the course papers. It's really great because you get a real feel of what it would feel like to be in an actual business environment giving a presentation in front of people.

I have to admit that I love my course and it feels great to do something you love! 

For anyone who is interested in applying to NIFT for admissions 2011, admission forms are out! You can find out more on the NIFT website: http://www.nift.ac.in/

The two year MFM degree is basically an MBA in Fashion, its a great mix of management, merchandising and marketing theory along with fabric and fashion industry specific knowledge, field visits,guest lecturers, project work and lots more!

This what I wore for my 1st final term jury, I have another big one coming up next week (fingers crossed!)

Wearing:

White shirt: Polo Sport, Ralph Lauren, Beige linen pencil skirt: Zingrin, Belt and peep toe wedges: Bangkok, Black cardigan: GAP, nude stockings: Marks and Spencer

I don't have many 'formal clothes', but i love wearing them. I for one am all for power dressing! So, I know three things that are on my shopping list for the winter sales! - formal button down shirts, blazers and parallel trousers in navy, gray and browns.

As for the sacred Exams Countdown- 4 exams down and now 5 more to go! and then its party party party :)

Thanks for stopping by
