How to: Style a Saree, part 03.

The third contemporary way I wore my saree.

Let me give you my third reason before we move ahead. The only couple of times I’ve ever worn a saree, I was always worried about the blouse. The blouse has to be breath taking, isn’t it? Being the size that I am, I could never even borrow from somebody else. Such a hassle!

Now? Now it doesn’t matter because now I know that a blouse doesn’t have to be a ‘typical’ saree blouse. It can anything from a crop top, a shirt, a tee-shirt to a blazer like I wore in the previous part of this series. If you haven’t checked the first two ways I styled this saree in, take a look here: Part 01 and Part 02.

So yes, today is to showing that you do not need a ‘normal’ blouse for a saree. So don’t get worked up for that impromptu function or ‘oh! The tailor ruined my blouse’ , try anything that you think may go with the saree. I chose a to wear a bardot top in my first part, a  blazer in the second and this time I am wearing a bell sleeved printed top.

I wasted the whole day sleeping. What an achievement! I already feel guilty. Does it happen to you too? Anyway, not wasting any more minute, let’s do  this.

Third Coachella Look? Are we here already? You guys gave a great response to the first two and I am so psyched for this one. So, keeping this one short without a lot of blabbering, I’ll jump to the post straight. Oh, but in case you haven’t seen the previous Coachella Inspired looks, please click Coachella Inspired : 01 and Coachella Inspired :02.

Oh how we wish we were free as a bird! But how do we know if a bird is free. Is anyone really is? I have always loved taking my own decisions and doing my own thing. It is hard for me to do something someone else asks me to do when I don’t agree with it at all. I feel guilty and trapped.

For the first time in my life I have started working. It’s a simple college internship but on the very first day itself I knew, I knew I don’t want this for the rest of my life. It doesn’t make sense. Nothing does. The nine to five job where where you sit like machine controlled freaks and do overtime so you can earn some more money but not a single coin of content. A lunch break where I see no sign of hope. Corporate life may be a highly looked up to one but it is definitely not for me.

Coachella Inspired : 01

Yes, I’ve been MIA here lately. And even though my exams were going on, I wouldn’t use it as an excuse to have disappeared like that because I always shoot in advance. The only reason I posted once a week, instead of twice is because I had such good stories in store that I didn’t wanna waste having written under exam pressure. I wanted to give my time and heart to it and so I thought I should rather wait. Although I do get this feeling, that none of you care about this. Haha. Anyway, I do and this is something I love doing so I just needed to get this out.

Moving on, last year sometime around Coachella I wrote about my three go-to looks that make me feel I’m there. The stories got a great reception and so I thought I’d do the same this year. I know I am late and Coachella is long gone, but I am one person who needs no excuse to dress Coachella-like and I hope it’s the same with you.

In case you do not know, Cochella is a music and arts festival that happens every single year around April and everyone dresses up their boho best. Not just the clothes, but the whole vibe, music and culture there is just perfect. I wish to actually be a part of it sometime but until then, we’ll just do with the clothes. 😀

So, this week I’ going to post three looks that are completely bohemian and may give you cues on how to get that boho vibe going.

Look 01:

The first look I styled has the most bohemian thing ever, FRINGES. I think this blue cape is one of my favourite things in my wardrobe.  I also  decided to double it all with another bohemian piece, this tie-up dress which looks like a peasant top. These kind of layered dresses are everywhere lately and I have no complaints. I love how the two colours play around with each other and create the perfect symphony.

And of course, how could I forget my boots when I’m taking of Coachella right? So I wore my brown studded boots to complete the look.

Now, Coachella is not just about clothes, but also about makeup and hair. Everything takes it’s turn. So, I went on with these messy dutch braids (Messy because I suck at it.) and some white dots above my eyebrows.  A fringe bag and round sunglasses, well they sure look dope.

Here is how I finished my first Coachella inspired look ladies. Do let me know if you like it and stay tuned for the nest two looks coming within this week.

Wearing:

Fringe Cape: Sarojini Nagar

Dress: Sarojini Nagar

Boots: Tibetan Market

Bag: Surajkund Arts Mela, Delhi

Glasses: Sarojini Nagar

Loads of love and power to my girl Aparna Mohindra who clicked these amazingly beautiful pictures. I am all about girl power and I believe that if instead of being jealous with each other, if we could just support, the world would be a different place. Show her some love at Amemoir Photography, here and here.

Until the next look,

LOVE.

THE JODI LOOKBOOK, PART 01.

“For the woman who travels,

The woman who unravels,

For pants before skirts,

Lover of heat and the dirt,

No heels but shoes,

For don’ts turned do’s.”

I wrote these lines to go with a college assignment recently and oh how I love them. They define all of us, us 21^st century women. Badass women. And no matter what the society had been doing to us for ages, it is all changing. Of course for the good. We don’t need no saving anymore, we are our own heroes. To this and a lot more that comes with being a woman, a happy women’s day to every single one of you.

FREE THOSE SOULS!!

Hello you sassy people!

So lately my skin is going to the worst breakout of my life. As a person who has never really had acne, I am freaking out. But thanks to a lot of helpful people I have in life and their suggestions, I am recovering. For now I have another beautiful bohemian fashion post for you guys!

Bohemian fashion has clawed its stand in fashion and it will be a take a long time to see it disappear. I personally have a fondness for all things boho. I also love the fact that a lot in bohemian fashion looks very much Indian. Fringes are the new addition to these trends. Suddenly they are everywhere, be it clothing, bags, accessories, shoes and what not! I am sure you people are also crushing over them as much as I do. Today I am going to indulge in some fringe drama myself.

T-SHIRT TUESDAY!!!!

Hello again,

Its T-shirt Tuesdayyyyyy! haha. Being the half man that I am, t-shirts are one of my favourite pieces of clothing. They are easy, cute and so comfortable. What’s more comfortable you ask? T-shirt dressses! Yes. T-shirt dresses are the ‘thing’ this season. Best suited for summers, they are the perfect street style outfit. Although everything is streetstyle in a way. 😀 But, t-shirt dresses, aahhhh, they are my absolute favourites!

DIY FLOWER CROWN!!

Hey everyone,

Last week I posted no DIY and I was asked by a lot of people for the same! But, I am not going to disappoint you this week. We are going to make our very own flower crowns! wohoooo.

Flower crowns have been a rage this season. Thanks to Spring/Summer, Coachella, Celebs. 😛 They are everywhere. You get them in varied range of prices. There are ones you get for as cheap as 30 bucks. I personally don’t like those. It is because they are made with cheaper raw material and do not turn out real nice. The ones that I like are priced around INR250+ in local markets which is too much if you ask me! Don’t even get me started on the brands.

BREAKING RULES!!

Hi there you beautiful people,

I have been too excited for this post ever since the day we shot it. I think this post is like a dream to me because of the amazing photography. It looks like it is out of a magazine and even though I’m sure some people might not like it, it is the kind I had always wanted. After a very long time in my life, through a lot of painful lessons, I have learnt that you cannot make others happy unless you yourself are! Please yourself and you will please everyone else too. Cheers to Aparna for the unbelievable photography. I will link her work in the end, dont forget to take a look. 😀

Lets cut the chase and come back to why I’m here. Fashion Blogging. haha.

EN ROUTE COACHELLA!! PART 03.

Finally here is my last outfit of the three looks inspired by the amazing Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

I think of all the three this one is definitely the most simple-chic idea as this is very easy to carry by anyone! Lets see the details. 🙂
