OUTFIT OF THE DAY : "Independence Day"

"Happy Independence Day"

I am Wearing:

Wearing Tri-Color Bangles is one tradition my Mother and I follow like some Holy Ritual.. Every year for Republic Day and Independence Day.. Both of these days are no less than a Festival in our family..Both my Grandfathers , cousins , uncles have been serving Police and other Armed Forces..I guess this contributed a lot to it.. Like every year..this year too all my relatives came over to spend the rest of the day at our place..That includes flying kites, non-stop Booz and Food.. Its like a House-Party on Terrace.. I managed to click a few shots before heading up at Terrace..

Shirt: Thrifted

Tank: Mango

Jeggings: Shoppers Stop

Footwear : Catwalk

Watch: Aldo Accessories

Sunnies: Tommy Hilfiger

Bangles: Mom's 

I had a great time today with family, Hope you guys had too..

Not Another Outfit Post

When last Saturday I went to pick up the Winning Prize from "W for Woman Store "(see HERE if you don't know what I am talking about) , I thought of clicking few shots..

I did share the pic of Bag on my Instagram and those of you don't know I am there.. 

Here is my Intstagram handle - @shailykhera

The Bag I picked from "W for Woman's" Store .. Brown leather Bags are MyNew Found Love <3

Now.. Some pictures from that Day..

This one is again from my Instagram.. 

This One is My favorite of all  <3

Not my favorite.. but still..,,

I am wearing- (Jumpsuit- Thrifted; Footwear-Aldo;Bag-Charles and Keith; Belt- Westside; Bracelet & Chain-Forever21 ; Watch- Aldo)

 BLACK not Color of the Season ..Bu  I don't care about it as long as I like it.. I am not a kind of person who would wear  anything that's "IN Fashion" . I follow my own Heart because I Dress for Myself and Not for anyone else.. I do incorporate new Trends in my style( only if I Like them).. But I don't go overboard and Follow them Blindly.. and I suggest this to all my readers that .. "Everything is not for everybody.. We all have different Body-types and Styles.. and Embrace what you have got"

I am " Gypsy at Heart ". . and I'd classify my style as " Boho Chic " and I never go overboard with New Trends .. I stick to my personal style  and play around with the trends .. That's how you never go wrong.. and here is what they said..

" One Man's Style Must not be the Rule of Another"-Jane Austen.

"Fashion Fades only Style remains the Same"- Coco Chanel

Confession .. Fashion Week ..meeting Akshita and The Big Announcement..!!

Hello Ladies..
Hope you all have enjoyed the Giveaway.. and again Congratulations to the Winners.. and thank you Jaya Wadhva from "Goddes of Couture for Organizing this Giveaway with us and being so understanding and supportive..!! *_*

Wills India Fashion Week
I am sure last week you have read , heard enough about the "Will India Fashion Week " in the Capital.. So I am not going to do any trend alert or fashion forecast here..we all have read and seen that enough on Blogsphere and T.V . This post is all about my experience at the Fashion Week..

I am not whining here ..but when u r studying Fashion you expect your college to atleast know about Fashion Week or other Fashion Events.. n I am not going to take its name here..but yes that how it is.. So..I had to ask a friend to get Me a pass.. and fortunately I got one for the " Hi5 " on Day 2 .. its a show where 5 budding designers showcase a few outfits from their collection..

Day 2
As I sat near the Head-Ramp excited to see which one of them is the one who'll dress Lady Gaga next ..I realized .. there was only 1 designer "Shantanu Singh " out of those 5 .. whose collection I though was different and of the level of the Fashion Week and clothes did justice to the theme " Penguins ".. and the show stopper walked with a Globe in her hand.... left Me with goosebumps ..
Others were good too but their work looked inspired or similar to what I have seen already.. :/

The Desinger "Shantanu"  himself.. addressing the Press..

After the show ..fortunately I got the chance to interact with Him.. He seemed like a really Nice Guy.. down to earth.. simple..creative.. and a Man of few words.. coz His Work speaks a lot about his Talent..and I told him.."I see a Lady Gaga wearing your clothes someday.. " (dill se..) congratulated him for the show..and left to discover and absorb the whole atmosphere full of Fashion..

Shantanu with the Show-stopper.. like I said she carried a Globe in her hands ..this is just before our little chit-chat by the way.. sad no pics of that.. :(

In the evening I read a Tweet of a fellow Blogger Akshita from  "Colorific"  about fashion week.. This  made me curious ..as I thought I saw her sitting on the other side of the ramp ..so a few Tweets and Dms later we met on Day 3

I am wearing a Zara Blouse( last worn Here)and Belt ,Jeggings,Black and white structured sling bag, and Aldo flats..

I stacked my wrist with bracelet ,bangles and watches..

Akshita Jain.. she comes across as someone very simple and down to earth ..that is just a Disguise .. She is quiet a Diva in her own ways.. we spent nice 3 hours..chatting about everything but Fashion Week and didn't even bother to attend a show together.. we were talking like long-lost friends .. and I was like " that's another one from the Species.. "

Colorific Akshita jain herself..

She told me ..how she dreamt of getting 10 bags on her Birthday ..by the way she actually managed to get them in real.. *-^  and how she managing a professional life.. a website , a Fashion Blog , Fashion Week  and her Best-Friends Wedding all at the same time..

like I said.."We clicked.. "

And Posed Together.. (just before the Bye-Bye )

It was Awesome meeting you too Akshita Jain.. *_*

And I did Stop by Shantanu's Stall to say Hi! and pose *-^

The Designer and Me.. and Penguins (His Muse..)

That's his Stall..and this  outfit is My personal favorite from his Collection.. I personally think this would have made a better show-stopper outfit..

My Republic Day Confession..

Apart from the morning ritual of watching - Republic Day Parade..Mom and I share this family ritual of wearing tri-color glass Bangles through out the day.. we are absolutely superstitious about the Tri-Color.. 

I Believe  we Desis ( we Indian's are Globally know with this name) have an edge over other when it comes to Fashion.. I love experimenting with both the styles.. coz Indian Body-types cant be described in sizes..  like a UK size -6 need not be an Indian size - 6.. we have bottoms heavy..  

For a Day look-  the White Zara Blosue wid Bishop selves would be my pic with my all time favorite Pepe Jeans Jeggings..  Orange Wedge heels that i picked up recently from Zara( my current favorite ..) stacked up bracelets / bangles in tri- color and gold.. and nude lips..wid just a tinch of lip balm.. and orange eye-shadow & Blush to finish the look.. 

For a Nite Look-  I love the Green  Blazer Gifted by my Uncle . I'll again combine it with the White Zara Tunic and Jeggings, Orange Zara wedge heels -- and keep it simple with accessories( no blings) I love thin chains.. i love to wear all of them together....dragging all the attention to my pout with the latest Orange lip-color from Inglot..n  keeping the rest of the make up neutral..will give make it a perfect Cocktail look..

 Apart from the regular Tri- Color tattoo .. I really like the painting my nails in Green, white and Orange.. a dash of tri- color on the eyes with a liner pencil or eye-shadow.. 

  

A Tip To Keep--Just keep it simple , chic and you.. coz the day is about feeling special of your own identity.. of your own self.. and I just love what Coco Chanel said once " I don't do Fashion .. I am Fashion" 

                                                          xoxo- Shaily
