Neon & Me!

Custom-made..... everybody loves this word.. isn't it??

Oh yes, even i love it...especially when i design, you can check here (love for custom-made)... & when it turns out be awesome(read here compliments flowing). I love prints, texture, color ...mixing them is what i enjoy. Sometimes my tailor just pat on his head when he see's me.... ;) .... with small fabrics, extra blouse pieces, embroidered borders, little tidbits, laces, sarees(never-ever worn or hardly worn), embroidered stuff back from my designing days. Thank to mom(she such a sweetheart) who actually have kept all the garbage(read here fabrics ;)) & when i need she just pack n courier it.....because i know..if i get all the stuff at once...all will be lying like that only(blame laziness here)...i might loose interest in all that stuff.

Anyways..The neon anarkali fabric was a saree which i just wore once for an hour. The blue intricate jaali work was done by karigar almost decade ago....i thought i will make blouse out of it... but it was all lying like that. Duppatta has crochet work done all the four side which was purchased from Kolkata .
Now,let me stop all the blah blah here.... enjoy the pictures..
Stay tuned for more customized stuff :)

CAPE Inspired by Nikhil Thampi!

This D-I-Y project is inspired by Designer Nikhil Thampi..  When i saw it for the first time...it was like OH I WANT IT ...but yeah spending so much.. so..it was like let it be.. !

I had this net white self design fabric in my 'box'(read here, extra fabrics.. or fabrics i buy n then they are not used).. which was 2 n half meter.. i took that n gave it for dye..

P:S  Red was the last option- I wanted it to be :-

     1- Royal Blue

     2- Fuchsia Pink

     3- Military Green

     4-Yellow/Ochre

After all the confusion i settled for RED(my love for red will never end... U can see HERE n HERE). I got a cotton lining of same colour & gave to a local tailor to stitch it(not even a boutique).. After little hesitation if he could do or not i showed him the pic of what i was expecting with little changes here n there.... He took measurements n made sure that my fabric was in GOOD HANDS.

Fingers crossed for almost a week.

VOILA totally in love...It flattered my body.. The best critic (My Hubby), appreciated it... :)
So, i am actually on cloud 9.

Now.... It didn't costed me a bomb & i am overall happy with the finishing part also.  :)

Tell me what u think... Did i made right choice with the fabric.. Did my tailor did justice (i told u i was inspired & i am not copying his design ;)
Have a look at the pictures.. Is this cape totally worth??... Will you go n get it stitch for yourself??

I am just making sure that i have NO INTENTION TO HURT ANYBODY SENTIMENTS(especially the designer).

 Now, the cape is little longer than the original one. Styling here with simple blue denims & turtle neck. I want all the focus on cape so opted for a snakeskin printed wedges n kept jewellery to minimal.

Denims- Benetton

Turtle neck top- Biglife

Cape- Got it made from Local tailor

Watch- Guess

Earings- Thailand

Celebrity Red!

While everyone(including me) is busy in celebrating Diwali...here's a quick post ..

RED.. That's one color i can go never with it..yes i Love this color or better i would say we both like this color equally.... in saree, suits, western & even in his shirts ;). So, on my Hubby's Birthday i wore this Celebrity Color(this is what he says ;)) for dinner.

You always wanted to wear LRD(Little Red Dress)...but never got that particular color or fit..or you felt it's too glaring and calls lots of attention..A Red Dress is a bold fashion statement, it can create a look that seems both classic and seductive.!
Here's a quick guide for wearing this color :-
Think Monochrome :- Add belt to your dress...perfect way to add color..But don't mix it with yellow or green. A red dress with green pumps will only work in Christmas not the year around.
Stay Classic :- Planning red dress.... opt for a classic cut that does not reveal much... or a decent hemline you are not conscious about.. & yes that perfect material that suits your body type.
Glitz it up :- Wear just enough of diamonds/gold/silver to dress up your already dressed up color. But, keep jewellery minimal...either a piece o chandelier earrings or necklace or a bold bracelet to go with it.

Keep make-up simple.. Opt for a nude lipstick or gloss.. if you need color go for another shades of red. Don't hesitate to experiment... Red on Red works well if only played well with textures and shades to keep things interesting...

Now, this seems to be a long post.... anyways enjoy the festival.. do tell me did you liked what i am wearing?... Did i created right magic with my LRD? How will you dress up your Little Red Dress ??
Oh yes... Happy Diwali...Have a safe one !

Running Errands !

Running Errands?...  Everyday!. So what we wear? Those yoga pants or jeans n tee n feel like trapped because we can't wear anything fancy. But, who said that.. We can wear anything while running errands.. only important thing is we need to be comfortable in what we wear.

I am a housewife & mother of a toddler... if i"ll be wearing my pj's whole day..i feel low(i know it's most comfortable piece of cloth on earth),i will sit on the couch whole day, though my baby won't let me ;). So, i choose to wear something comfortable rather than pj's.. i feel confident, energetic and specially i feel good :)

This is what i wore while grocery shopping, making lunch, running errands, and shopping with my friend the other day. I just loved the colours i am wearing turquoise green/blue+ coral. What your say about it?? What do you wear while running errands??

Ok.. Did i tell you i am making lot of healthy stuff these days... like onion fritters(pyaz bhajia).. ;)
Ya, you read it right.. just bake them instead of frying... brush the tray with little oil..spread the mixture & spray little more oil... Perfect n yummy.. Do try..n let me know :)
