Winter Love

#1 - Mittens are a rage in winters. Choose bright ones to bring in some cheer to the grey skies.

#2 - Aren't these printed closed boots an eye soother from their plain leather cousin? Delightful.

#3 - A striped muffler is a must have to add some drama to your old plain sweater. The multicolors in this one just make it sweeter.

#4 - Ear mufflers are cool, suave, and would keep you warm when the temperature dips its lowest. The rich colored velvet adds sheen.

#5 - Head gear in winters is a must have because I am so sure you will have more of no-head-wash days.

#6 - A overcoat in a feminine color would make all other heads turn in either admiration or envy.

Love affair with a Saree

Known as the longest piece of clothing that can be worn without a single stitch, a Saree has become a symbol of Indian woman across the globe. In today's fast blending culture, as Indians move towards more practical every day wear, Saree still remains a go-to attire for all events formal and semi-formal.

Every woman in India, has a basic plain Saree with a simple border. In case you do not, ask your mom.mom-in-law. I am 100% sure they would own one. I shall style such a Saree today, and make it stand out for a variety of occasions.

Look One

Depending on the color of your saree, pick any other color to go with it. I picked hot pink to go with peach because this is my favorite combination of all times. Blue and Green (like the peacock), Turquoise and Brown, Yellow and Purple are some alternative color combos you could experiment with. Basically, pick a color different from your saree as a theme, and use it in everything - your jewellery, accessories, nail paint.

Look Two

The most important piece of this look is One Statement piece. It could be a necklace, a waist belt, or like I have picked a clutch. Style all other jewellery around this main item and you are sure to make heads turn.

Look Three

In case it is an occasion you wish to play safe on, the conventional look can never disappoint. Pick either gold or silver (depending  on whether any of these two hues are present in the saree). In case there is neither, pick the one which looks more in tune with your saree's base color. Use different pieces in same (or similar) color. The one-set look with same earrings-necklace-ring is extinct with the dino's, and is a total No.

 Look Four

Best for day events, this is an easy-breezy look when you wish to stand out, by blending in colors in one look. No piece is big enough to attract attention, and the look is minimalistic, yet classy.

Look Five

If drama is what you like, this is your look. Big chunky pieces in contrast colors, each breathing a life of its own. Word of caution - This look may need a lot of panache to carry.

Look Sixx

 Best for those who love to experiment, this look may need some thought to create from your existing jewellery. Pick the pieces you like and connect them in color or style. For example, here, both the cuff and the clutch have hues of peach or orange (which goes with the saree). The blues in each of these pieces are connected to other jewellery (ring, earrings).

Winters & Scarves - the BFF

With an addition of a scarf, every winter related problem can be solved. ~ Anonymous

Care for your Shoes like Carrie

Carrie (of Sex and the City) has a shoe-fetish. So do I. And a million other women out there. 

We know we can donate most of our wardrobe and start anew, but still keep that pair of shoe that lies unused since the last three years. Don't you agree, girls?

Finding a shoe is time consuming, energy demanding activity, and thus, taking good care of your shoes is all the more important. These tips may help you out.

• Wiping your shoes with a wet soft cloth once in a while will restore its shine

• Neutral polish is a must have for colored shoes

• Time may shred the shoe thread or wear out its soul - check regularly and repair 

• It may be a good idea to reserve a set of shoes for walking/driving (noticed this trend in Boston first and simply loved the idea - not only is your walk comfortable and spine healthy, your work shoes wear out much less and last longer)

• Wear same /similar socks with same closed shoe because that pair is definitely going to change the shoe shape

• Always store your shoes in soft tissue bags

must have colors in every wardrobe

•  Black for the night out, or even a day when you wish to look sharper

• Grey for a work day marked with back to back meetings, with people from diverse cultures or background

• Red is the best choice for sports, picnics and Fridays.  No matter what day, red adds a tint of happy to the persona, both on the soul and outside, and works wonders to turn around a gloomy day.

• Pink  should be worn selectively, for days when you are in a romantic mood and feel like spraying a  hint of love up your sleeve. 

• White when you are in the mood to experiment - be it throwing a bright scarf across, or wearing neon jewellery to bring about the spark, or the ever hit white paired with denims, it takes oodles of dumb meat to get it wrong with white.  A very intelligent styling in white can be found here.

• Yellow is for those days when the energy within is so oozing high, that you jump out of the bed, jump every traffic signal, dance to  the radio, take the stairs. When the day is sunny side up in all spirit, why stop from wearing some sun on our shoulders too. 

Nailpaints you shouldn't (can't for many) live without

• Deep red for the evening look - does not seem odd with anything ever 

• French nail paint (the basic nude and white) when you want to give the I-know-what-works impression in a new professional tryst 

• Nude metallic work well for the office in case French nail paint fails to satiate you

• Bright colors that make you happy for weekends and vacations. I have bright hues in the peach and pink family because you cannot go wrong with them. Someone more more experimental could go with chirpy neon.

• Brown&Beige family when you know what you have ahead is a busy work week that won't allow you to mend your paint

• Transparent shimmer to depend on when you wish to ready your toes for a party
