Miss Midi

Many predict that the Midi Skirt is going to be HUGE this fall-unfortunately we don't have a 'fall' here in Delhi. Okay we have those 3-4 in October where you can pretend its fall but then just as you are getting into the mood of a nice comfortable chill BAM! the fogs hits you and you are frozen. True story. Thats why there is a cheap song called Dilli Ki Sardi- It will turn you into a popsciple.


ANYWAY- this skirt works well in our type of weather too (sticky hot and humid)


It`s nice,light and breezy!

Marc By Marc Jacobs

You don't have to be a prude or an uptight lawyer to wear them. I think they`re ultra feminine and playful and when worn right can make you look impeccably polished!


Popular in the 1940's the midi skirt was pushed off the scene by the mini skirt by the 60's. Then again in the 70`s it showed its face again. Well, what goes around comes around cos they're clearly back this year!


Its an extremely versatile piece to have in your wardrobe, specially if you want to change up your look once in awhile.

Very easy to switch it from day to night.

 I do admit that it`s a little tricky to pull off. It can end up looking extremely dowdy and matronly. 

If you go with a  bouncy and flared one then pair it with a fitted top. Add a little oomph to it with a nice top and the right kind of make up.

It is also very flattering to any body shape especially taller women. The midi will make you look lean and sophisticated.

(I recently ordered the cutest sandals that would go with a nice and flowy midi skirt. Not to hunt for the actual skirt!)

Imsu from As I Like It looks super chic in a vintage pleated skirt and a fitted top

Also I think its great to wear it in a city like Delhi-you arn`t exposing too much and wont be letched at quite as much. (Cleary that is a HUGE factor for me when I am choosing outfits. My style would be SO different if our country didnt SUCK so much in that department, Oh well thats for another post)

If they guy STILL wants to stare at ur ankles, well thats just weird.

So, what do YOU think of MISS MIDI

Neon Neon

Is the John Mayer Song now stuck in your head? Good. Cos it`s been in my head since I decided to do this post.

I quite like the NEON trend. I like to call it ColourBlocking on COCAINE. 

It fits, no?

I think the best way to do neon is either on its own, like a solid neon dress or mix and break it with neutrals.

Or do it with your accessories, like a pop of colour on your shoes or 


a bright lipstick OR

 with a bright bag from ZARA


I went to Zara recently, and I kid you not, you need to wear shades when you enter the store. People who can`t/don`t really work with too much colour WILL have a hear attack from all the brightness and those who absolutely LOVE colour (like tanvi and I) will ALSO have a heart attack, from the sudden excitement.




I love pops of colour, or colour in general ( i am a VERYYYY colourful person ) and I have embraced neons as if it were my long lost child (pet is more like it). 


These days I have shockingly coral nails as you might`ve seen while I hand model over at the Classy&Fabulous Shop (sorry for the shameless self promotion) 

My eye popping neon nailpolishes

The trick with neons is to go easy, have it as a surprise element in your outfit.

 And remember the line between embracing neons and looking like Govinda is very thin.

 

But also have fun with it, goes without saying actually. 

One plus with the Delhi sun is that it makes colour REALLY pop.

These are my neon staples at the moment, and you can see me wearing a solid neon coral dress in my Graduation Party/ Conti Post 

 I want to attack ZARA once more though.

So will you let NEONS in or just put your shades on, and move on?

Et Tu, Tutu?

ROCK THE TREND

Blame it on Carrie Bradshaw 

or Black Swan 

the tutu trend is here and you need to deal with it!! No, I kid.  

But hey are not JUST for Kids, although Suri Cruise does rock them!

They gripped the runways this season as well.

Alexander McQueen

Of course these have been inspired by the Tutu and you can`t really expect models strutting down wearing the same tulle skirt for every label.

That`s what is fun though, interpreting the skirt your own way.

I wouldn`t mind wearing a nice flouncy tutu. Maybe to a party or out clubbing. Its quirky and fun yet elegant. I quite like the idea of it actually.

( Zara has a very similar bag in quite a lot of colours for 1500/-, which I wish I had bought! )

The last time I checked , Forever 21 had some really cute tutu skirts.

It`s a very feminine look which I would LOVE to rock.

What do you think? LOVE it? HATE it?

MEH?

WIDE!

( The title is supposed to be a pun. Since I am wearing W I D E pants, and the CWC is on. Nevermind. )

I don`t think this outfit is very complete. I would love to have a skinny belt to pair with this, but um..I dont have one.

New York Fashion Week

The New York Fall Ready To Wear Fashion Week (wow that was a mouthful , erm handful to write)  just concluded.  I had tweeted about how I wish I was in NYC right now. I don`t even want to be in the tents seeing the shows. Just want to feel the energy in the city of fashion week.

Anyway, clearly that did not happen. So the next best thing for me to do was go put together a post of my favourite looks, make up and front row pictures.

Favourite Looks

The very pregnant A list stylist (also my dream job boss) had a presentation. And I Adore each of her pieces.

 Love the colour block dress by Costello Tagliapietra. My humble request to young bollywood to experiment with these kinds of pieces!!

FIERCE!

OMG after seeing this collection I had dreams about it. Its got everything I love. Lace and subtle sequins! And the make up is so chic. I absolutely loved this collection.

HAIR AND MAKE UP

Love the side swept ponytail and the intricate braiding.

Did Naem Khan`s Make up team get inspired by Taylor Momsen? Anyway it looks better here.
Love the bold lip by Ralph Lauren.

Two very different yet exquisite hairstyles.

FRONT ROW

The woman who makes the fashion world go around (seriously! go see September Issue to see for yourself, or read/watch Devil Wears Prada if you havn`t already!) and her sweeter and much nicer colleague Grace Coddington 

VB going foir her own show, Jessica Szohr, Kim K not showing skin and I am loving it

  

Ed Westwick! Why do you look so chubby?! Chuck Bass is not going to approve. Also Mr Efron I `am not a big fan but of course I cannot deny that you are an attractive man, but again whats with the CHUBBINESS? Last I heard you were taking the break up with Ms Hudson pretty well.

Fergie Fer with Mr Fergie.

For The Love Of Lace!

Purple Suede Shoes- Khan Mkt

Whats so great about this plain random outift you ask?

Lace Sweatshirt- Forever 21

I turn around and

Bam!

  

I have already admitted to my LACE ADDICTION in my

Rock The Trend Lace edition.                                                                                                                                                                  

I absolutely adore this sweatshirt for the surprise factor it has. Its just a plain old boring grey sweatshirt from the front and the whole back is Black Lace.

And I can switch it up by wearing different colours underneath it.
