Outfit Of the Day : Myntra.com Event

Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Recently, when I had to dress-up for the Myntra.com Event (Click to read the post) I was in a 'Fix' about my outfit.. and like always.. I decided to stick to the Basics 'again' ..YES!! I went ahead with the new sleeveless Blazer/Jacket I bought from Vero Moda and clubbed it with a Basic White-Tank and Zara pants.. Glammed the look with Statement necklaces and Stacked bracelets .
FYI - Red lip color was a very last minute decision before clicking outfit pictures.. I was actually wearing a very nude, coral lip shade by Inglot..and the Messy side braid was actually done in the car with the use of just 3 bobby-pins , black rubber-band , and my Compact mirror.. :p


















Surprise! Surprise! Yes.. I met Mahek from Peaches and Blush 
It was just a 5 mins chit-chat outside the restroom and we also managed a few shots before saying Goodbye !!..


That's Ranjunee Chakma ( designer and stylist) who looked super Fab!! in this outfit from her upcoming Collection.. I LOVED the statement necklace she was wearing, so took a shot of it while we were talking..!!

Sleeveless Blazer: Vero Moda

Tarun Tahiliani's Couture Exposition "The Jewel Box" 2012

Last Week..Delhi witnessed Tarun Tahiliani's Glamorous Couture Exposition-'The Jewel Box ' at DLF Emporio
The Venue itself sepaks of Luxury and the concept of Couture Exposition by Tarun Tahiliani and Jewel Box by  was AIS Glasxperts  like the PERFECT combination of Royalty , Luxury and Class..

India has always associated with the Concept of Couture with  Indian Bridal/Wedding wear 
This Couture Outfit in the Special Glass Box is designed by tarun and embellished with Swaroski's thousands of Swaroski Crystals.. and Behind this you see the "Jewel-Box" where all the other Couture Pieces by the designer were displayed..

It is this philosophy that continues to shape our view of luxury and has guided our vision for this collection.“Bridal is about the bride. It shouldn’t be about trends. Women are still making polarized choices when it comes to couture, but clearly they must be true to who they really are,” says Tarun Tahiliani emphatically as he discloses nuances of his new collection.
                 

Speaking about the Exposition, Tarun Tahiliani added “The Tarun Tahiliani Couture Exposition has been made possible due to the support of our partners and I would like to thank AIS Glasxperts, DLF Emporio, SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, Diageo – Johnny Walker Gold Label Reserve, Forevermark, VU Technologies, Entertainment Design Company and JH Jewellers for each bringing their offerings and area of expertise to the exposition and ensuring a true luxury experience for the viewer.”


This I say is PERFECT for Mehandi and Sangeet..
If I were to wera this Sarii.. I wouls wear it with the same Head-Gear..!!
Also SPOTTED Other's at this Exposition defining and representing the Couture Concept in India..
Couture Television.. Designed by Designer Himself..
This was a stall by The Entertainment Design Co. exhibitting their Couture Designs of Wedding cards, Gift boxes, Stationery boxes.. I saw Ritesh and Genilia's Wedding card among other Royal wedding cards..


BREAK The Glass Box Challenge..

Set In the small Sound Proof room on the extreme corner of the "Jewel-Box" was the "Glass-Box" by AIS Glassexperts, filled with Jewelled Couture Goodies by Tarun Tahiliani.. The Challenge was to break the glass-box with a baseball bat.. which is like impossible to break.. and possible to challenge your hearing abilities .. that's why the Sound-proof box..
                The Glass Box's Sound proof room from the OUTSIDE..

And for the INSIDE Tour and Experience of '"The Glass - Box Challenge" watch this Video..

ABOUT TARUN TAHILIANI
Tarun Tahiliani personifies a new kind of artist – one who uses his ideas of feminine beauty to influence the natural beauty of the Indian woman.
He realized that aesthetic perfection must be built on a foundation of technical excellence. In the past 20 years, with a degree from FIT he has brought superb tailoring from Milan to meld with the Indian silhouette and set the standard for elegance in the Indian woman. He has a special place in the hearts of those women who remember the anxious wait for their first outfit from the Tarun Tahiliani Design Studio.

Tarun Tahiliani’s Couture Exposition 2012 is currently taking place in New Delhi during 25-28 July and in Mumbai on August 6-7, 2012
Appointments and orders will be taken from 11 am to 7 pm.

Hope you people liked the post.. I am planning to do another post about the Couture in India.. soon..till then,Take care..!! *__*

Thin End Of The Wedge: Sandals For Summer

Wednesday, July 11, 2012


Summer shoes are essential for those glorious sunny days when it gets hot and sweaty and your feet need to breathe a little. They might not have arrived just yet, but we live in hope, so it’s worth preparing your summer wardrobe now, just in case.

The ultimate summer footwear and symbol of great weather is the flip-flop. Footwear doesn’t get any more relaxed than this. They’re great for those relaxed days when you dress down, or when you’re going to the beach or park to hang out with your friends.

Of course, not every day is a flip-flop day. Luckily, there are some alternatives to flip-flops that work with more formal attire. Chief among them is the sandal. These can still keep a casual feel, but sandals can work as more formal and dress shoes as well.

If you are really trying to glam it up for the night, then wedge sandals work for that too. A wedge, when worn with a maxi dress or even some evening dresses, is a great alternative to heels, especially if you are on holiday.

Wedges boost your height by making your legs seem longer and giving you that extra edge of glamour for a night out. They also allow you to keep your toes cool if the temperatures start to soar.  

There are many different sizes and styles of wedge, from huge stack wedge heels to more subtle lifts the type you choose will depend on your personal style and comfort. This summer, patterns and bold colours are really in, so wedges will make the perfect accompaniment to a bold summer dress. Simple footwear like this will accentuate the bright dress or skirt and provide a contrast that works well too.

Also, because they are sandals, they should also be relatively inexpensive, making them perfect shoes to compliment some of your summer outfits. And great for taking on those holidays where you don’t know what you might end up doing. Pack a pair of wedge sandals, some flip flops and a pair of canvas trainers and you should have all the summer bases covered for your holiday.

They will also hopefully be your fall back shoes for the whole summer, should the sun eventually come out and play. And if it doesn’t, you’ll still get plenty of use out of them on your holiday to justify your purchase. Not that you really need to justify anything, of course.
