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!

Of Trees and Leaves

I feel like I merge in with the background with this outfit; the green and brown of the trees, the white of the walls.

Wearing:

Lace tank top: Bangkok, white shirt: H & M, Jeans: Benetton, Belt: Mussourie, Kolahpuri's (slippers): thrifted, charm pendant: self made (well, kind of)

 I made this pretty little charm pendant myself by putting together 2 rings and one big safety-pin into a regular neck chain and then doubling it up to make it shorter :)
(Aren't I talented :P)
Make your own charm pendant by just chaining together all the pretty little trinkets you can find which have some sorta loop/whole in them (to put a chain/thread through).
It's quite fun :D

Antique Flower

I'm really exited to debut this beautiful antique flower pendant (that pink and gold thing at the end of that super long chain in my neck). I picked it up when I was out shopping with a friend last week and I've already worn in 3 days in a row! That's a sure sign you really something eh?

Do you do that often? wear something new that you love several days in a row when you just get it?

Wearing:

Collared tee: Levi's, Pants: Vero Moda, pendant and slippers: thrifted, belt: Paprika- Lifestyle

My super comfy khaki pants rolled up for the summers and for a casual day at school (I've also worn them HERE and HERE), worn with my classic Kolahpuri chappals (slippers); I haven't stopped wearing them the past few days either!

Thanks for stopping by,
