My Rekindled Love for Crop Tops!

Until a year ago, I was always on the fence about crop tops. I adored the trend but wasn't ready to embrace it because I always thought it's not for me. But how wrong was I! I was aware of all the styles in the market, the ways to wear them, and I knew all the styling tips too as far as a crop top was concerned, but never applied any of them for myself, till one day, a realization dawned upon me. 😀

The Forgotten White Dress!

I know you must be wondering why the blog post has the title it has, so let me tell you a little story about this pretty white dress, which gave the blog post it's title. I bought this maxi dress from Forever 21 in the monsoon of 2017 (July to be precise), right when I got back from the USA after my vacation. Though the monsoon had started, when you see a white dress that subtly spells sexy, literally calls out to you and looks great on you too, you obviously are not going to leave the opportunity to buy it right? So I obviously didn't care that I would have to wait to wear it, because I definitely didn't want to not buy it, and then regret it later. So there it was in my shopping bag and home that very day. Little did I know, that because I wouldn't get to wear it a few months, I would completely forget about it. Very unlike me but yes it happened! 🤦

UAE Style Diaries!

My UAE trip specifically to Sharjah was an amazing one a few months ago, with Sharjah Tourism and Air Arabia taking awesome care of us. We travelled across the Sharjah Emirate and I also got a little time to head out to Dubai. The weather we were told would be on the colder side, but that it would rain and turn super cold is not something that I had expected. Thanks to the internet and weather predictions, I had somewhat prepped my packing up with stuff that could protect me to quite an extent, and was glad that my habit of checking the weather before heading anywhere worked in my favour. Bringing to you in this post, some of the outfits that I wore on my trip!

Neon Accents

Not always in the mood to rock a single shade vividly hued neon piece because you want to go the minimal way, but still want to wear neon? Then you can do exactly what I did :) This lovely multi neon coloured top with ABCD written in different shades of neon from Persunmall.com was the answer to the problem of how to do neon in a minimal way without using too much of one solid colour of neon.

Bodycon Skirt - Forever 21

Diamante Ballerinas - Forever New

Black Bag - Lavie

A colourful printed top can brighten up any outfit!

The Goa Anniversary Story!

Well, the story is that PS and me celebrated our 3rd anniversary this month and we suddenly decided to head out of town to celebrate that. For a celebration, a last minute trip and a short weekend break, no destination can beat Goa! So that's exactly where we headed to :)

And when in Goa, it's all about comfy beachy colourful clothes!

Aztec print Top - Kiosha (last worn here)
Skirt - Forever 21 (last worn here)
 Pink Tube - Bangkok
Yellow Sling Bag - Ruby (Singapore)
Flip Flops - Old Navy (USA)
Sunglasses - Ray Ban

This top is turning out to be one of my favourites. I love the Aztec print and the fact that the front is cotton and the back georgette. Can't make out right? :)

Perfectly Valentine!

Asymmetrical Sheer Dress - Forever 21
Gold Cuff and Earrings - InPink
Dark Gold Clutch - Irla Market, Mumbai
Diamante Sandals - Giovanna, Singapore (Last worn here)

A feminine and flowy look for Valentine's nite! :D

After the Rock Chic day look(which you can check out here), this look was perfect for my Valentine's dinner with PS. I'd bought this dress from Forever 21 on my Singapore trip last year and was saving it for the right occasion to wear which aptly turned out to be Valentine's! :)

The asymmetrical sheer trend has been in vogue for a while now but what I fell in love with was the colour of the dress.. Pairing it with gold accessories, I added just a pop of orange to the outfit through the earrings. What felt great was that the outfit gave me an absolute 'romantique' feel - Perfectly Valentine! :)

By the way, did you know that Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China celebrate something called as White Valentine's Day, on March 14, one month after Valentine's Day? In Japan, on Valentine's Day, girls/women give men chocolates as an expression of love, courtesy, or social obligation and so on White Valentine's Day, the men are supposed to reciprocate the gesture. In the other Asian countries it's the opposite. Cute! :)

Happy Birthday!!! :D

I turned a year older on the 11th of November and had a fabulous day with family and friends.. What more does one need anyways? :)

Also I don't know why people make such a big deal about the 30's! It ain't that bad for sure! I'm surely enjoying mine to the fullest!! :)

A year since it all began....

Anniversaries I am sure are important moments in everyone's lives - until and unless you are a guy and forget ;)! Wedding anniversaries definitely top most peoples lists according to me :) Isn't it?

PS and me celebrated our first anniversary in June, but that's not the anniversary that this post is about ;) :O Then what you must be wondering!! Well its about the anniversary that we celebrated to commemorate a year since we first met. That was when we were also completing the first six months of getting married. The feeling on that day was very different from what I felt on my wedding anniversary. It was predominantly a feeling of thankfulness to God for having brought PS into my life :D

And this is what I wore on that special nite to add sparkle to the great time that lay ahead! :)

My Wishlist this Week - August 3rd week

When the work is hectic and you still want to go shopping but cant because of the time factor or distance, what better way to do it than a 'Fantasy Shopping' jaunt! This is precisely what I did this week :-) I've chosen pieces that I personally favour and have put together 2 looks for each. What I liked are tops of 3 different styles which I would LOVE to add to my wardrobe. So check them out!

1. Elizabeth and James - Criss Cross Tank - $195

What I really liked about this Black jersey tank are the cross over straps at the back. A fitted piece which can be work either at work with pants and a jacket/knit or casually with a skirt or shorts. Match a smart bag and a pair of pumps or gladiators and your look is complete.

2. Maureen Plaid top - Forever 21 - $18

A pretty plaid weave effect and the ruffle trim gives this top a very feminine feel. A relaxed fit which can be worn with a fitting skirt or trousers for work or casually with jeans or shorts. Keep the footwear smart but simple and accessorize it with some nice earrings and a stylish watch and see the well turned-out look.

3. McQ Alexander McQueen- Navy double Layer tank - 132 GBP

I loved the navy colour of this sleeveless assymetrical jersey tank with a double layer which creates the draped effect. It has an easy fit and can be the ideal tummy disguiser alongwith making you look fab! Wear it with skinny jeans and killer heels in metallic shades for a night out clubbing or with a nice denim skirt with sneakers in contrasting bright colours for a casual day out and let me assure you that heads will surely turn.

Well I hope you enjoyed these looks as much as I enjoyed putting them together. You can try and work them out with similar stuff in your wardrobe or you can click on the sets and get guided to buying the items in the sets.

I'll look forward to your feedback and you can look forward to my next 'Fantasy Shopping' spree soon!
