May Favorites

Hello lads

I love summers. The sun, the flowers, birds chirping. Well, it doesn't happen on earth as you know. It's scorching, sweaty sun; flowers with hornets and bees; pigeons leaving white somethings on your balcony. Life goes on ;) I hate winters that's why I love summers, that's the real reason.

Now that you know the secret, let's take a look at my May favorites.

This one's from Banggood. As a fashion blogger you get to know different websites and in the end, their collections look the same. But here's one which had something different. Sure, one out of 6 pieces might be the same but the 5 which are not, are really exceptional. Let's check out my favorites.

Click images to visit the website.

1. Off-shoulder top

Comes in orange too!

So I've been obsessing with off-shoulder solid blouses. They give this summery feel and just right for this season. Pair it with buttoned-up denims/shorts or straight-cut maxi skirt. Pair with a fringe bag and a cute pair of sandals.

2. Abstract print dress

It has myriad of colors, light base, good material and can literally be paired with tons of accessories. Personally, I'd pair this baby up with nude pumps and the bottom bag.

3. Candy shoulder bag

Gosh I know it's a little out there but isn't it just chic? I love the texture, the size and specially the color. Monochrome outfits or color blocking (still there) is my thing.

4. Multi-colored pumps

You must have guessed by now, either it's white or shades of coral/red. I especially love this pair because of two things- burgundy and buckle. I usually don't wear heels until absolutely necessary, but if I do wear, I like such which take care that my clumsy body doesn't trip over. I'd pair it with ankle length pants and probably some burgundy love going on the top front.

So? Do you like my favorites? I'm very peculiar about what I like and these I really really liked

Pick yours.

Fashion Specials: Shopping online

Hey lovelies

How are my sunshines doing? I hope to find you smiling and happy. Today I bring to you something very special. 

Choosing an online fashion hub to get unique and latest outfits can be cumbersome; especially when there are thousands of websites to choose from. We bloggers have certain responsibility to be fair and true to our readers that's why I choose where to shop from, very wisely. I have many clothes but the heart desires for more ;). Sometimes I'm also confused as to whether I'm not repeating any style or color. Therefore, one must remember the following points while shopping online.

* Compare prices. When a website gives something for as low as $1, it is wise to check out the quality and reviews. I found them very positive on OzSpecials so I highly recommend it.

* Discounts: What's the point of shopping online if you don't get discounts. You can get upto 50% off on websites and more than that simply means clearance of stock!

* Designs & style: The best thing about shopping online is having variety in front of your eyes at the comfort of your home. Such websites live to revamp their collection.

* Shipping: Certain websites disguise shipping (priority shipping in smaller fonts) and check the box marked to it prior to placing the order. Check till what amount you'd be given free shipping and talk to customer care incase of any doubts.

Here are some of my favorite designs from a lovely website that is very fitting.

Net and Black, Amen!

Denim shirts go with so many things. Must own one!

I am in love with stripes this summer. How about you?

Off-shoulder dresses and blouses has been a rage this month.

I have a dire need to have this. Which one do you like it?

Which one is your favorite from the website? Let me know in the comments below.

White Hearthood

Hello Beautiful people

I hope everyone is having a wonderful May :) Despite the terrible heat, I've started to love the city more. When your work-joining doesn't have a date and you have no plans except learn french, play guitar, blog, read, eat, sleep, watch tv and roam around; you learn the importance of work!

It's been less than a month since my ideal state and I've started to miss it. I'm one of those people who do not take the above mentioned things; including work, for granted. You know what they say, you got to find time for the things you love. So, even if I work from home until my official joining, I'll find time for you guys. :)

P.S. If you want to collaborate for posts, fun quizzes and knowledge exchange then don't hesitate to shoot a mail at: fictitious.fashion@gmail.com

Talking about this outfit post- It was my brother's birthday on 2nd May and he turned the sweetest sixteen he could ever be. Dressed in this precious tangerine, I love his sense of style now! 

I wore one of my favorite crop top blouses and annoyingly the only color I have been wearing for the past many weeks. I paired it with the basic black jeggings and my darling leather bag that I purchased while in Goa! Enjoy the pictures.

Blouse: Cotton World, Jeggings: Zara, Flats: Metro, Bag: Goa,

Years to LookBack

It's been 5 years since I've started blogging and the journey has been quite amazing. This isn't a 'blogging-has-taught-me-so-much' moment, although it did! But, I just wanted to look back at all the fabulous pictures and tried to recall the fun I had during the photoshoot. So in this post I'll be sharing the amazing moments and what I love about that outfit :)

Sit back and relax!

The first time I wore a lipstick. Gosh! I was so nervous as I know nothing about makeup, the right shade or even to wear one but, I did it anyway. It's about feeling good right? So I felt.

I did the basic white and black look here and completed it with two different accessories- a hat and a floral headband.

This was a very sunny day and I sort of regretted wearing those pants (not mine!) so I said to myself, 'Hey! Why not try something new' and so I tied my favorite scarf and voila!

You'd see this sling bag in so many posts. This is undoubtedly one of my favorite bags. It is stylish, light and so useful to carry on a day-out, date or a party.

I asked my friend who is a photographer, to click some nice pictures for my shopping haul. We went out to Carter road, Bandra and had a blast while shooting it; never-mind the sun!

My favorite thing about this outfit was the blue canvas shoes. They are my brother's but I gave a twist to it by going lace-less ;)

Goa is so much fun with friends! We danced to Lean On, partied under the stars, sun-bathed at Candolim beach and kept ourselves hydrated with watermelon & kiwi juices!

I finally found a reason to wear crop tops and my leather shorts (in India). I had worked so hard to prepare a toned body for Goa and the results were truly fruitful.

This outfit is again from Goa Diaries. The sun was upon us but hey, it's always great for photoshoots!

I hadn't wore this magnificent dress for like-ever. With my body in shape and at the right place, I took out my floral headband and let my hair down. It felt so airy and light in this piece of maxi-dress.

My last academic farewell was so emotional and fun-filled. Click on the picture above to read more :)

I'd have to say, I had not gained as much as eye-balls 'in college' as I did that day when I wore this nude-colored elegant piece of jumpsuit. My first, yes!

At last, the bidding goodbye to Mumbai pose. This picture was taken at Worli Sea Face. I loved everything about that day, the weather, fresh air and my natural waves.

I have to admit, I have so many blues but this kind of blue sets my mood high: such a paradox! This romper glides over my skin so well and the lacework is just so splendid.

I love to organize my photo albums with nice and customized designs. Look how I created my own lookbook for Social Print Studio's custom photo books.

Waiting for your views.

xoxo

Blue Drive

When all you want is independence and good vibes: visit Mumbai! I can't believe I'm missing Mumbai already. It has given me so much that I can't even imagine receiving the same from one place. Confidence, personality, freedom, safety and more importantly, an amazing end to the last academic life. I have lived the two years in solemn peace :)

I got to do the things I never knew I wanted so badly. Got a tattoo done, represented college in front of international dignitaries, won at IIM Ahmedabad, trip to Goa and visited my dream city- NYC!

I want to Thank Mumbai for all that it has given me. It has truly changed my perspective about the city.

Wore this to my last sea visit. Location- Worli Sea Face, Mumbai

WEARING: Romper- Forever New, Bag- Oasap, Headband- Biglife

Also, have you lived in a city which you disliked first but it changed your perspective? I'd love to know :)
