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.

An evening of Prints, Tassles & Coloured Pants!

Weekends are always the best time of the week. You get ample time with all the people you want to spend time with without bothering too much about late nights or the next task to do. Family, friends and fun is mostly what my weekends are all about :) Catching up with friends is always nice and that's what PS and me make sure we do once a month with seven to eight other couples. Good food, drinks, a nice place, lotsa gossip and sometimes some music and dancing are all part of the evening. To top it of course is 'Dressing Up' ;)

Like I said 'Dressing Up' tops the list ;) and so there I was dressed up in my brand new Forever New printed pants and Romwe Arrow-shaped Curb Chain Tassel Necklace. Gorgeous is the word for both these pieces :) Since there was a chill in the air, I put on my sand coloured Zara cardigan. Don't miss the lovely platform stilettos with the beautiful cut out design that adorned my feet.

PS has also started experimenting with his clothes lately and has finally stepped into the world of coloured pants. I loved what he wore that nite - Cobalt blue pants(his latest buy on our Turkey trip), a black shirt with fine checks detailing on the collar, buttons and sleeves and grey suede shoes.

We met up at Cafe Mangi (Powai) this month and I loved this location of theirs. Much better and bigger than the Bandra location. Not to forget, open air dinners are always good fun especially when you are with great company.

With the prints, statement accessories and coloured pants trends looking at becoming bigger in 2013, which ones are gonna make it your wardrobe? All 3 or are you going to pick and choose? Share with me and I'll tell you where to get the best deals from :)

Travel Tales: The Singapore Flyer

When you want to take in the whole of Singapore in a single glance, head to the Singapore Flyer. The Singapore Flyer is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world at a staggering height of 42 stories. A complete 360 degrees round takes half an hour during which you can see the entire view of the city including bits of Malaysia in the night. The view is beautiful, something you will never forget. How the 30 minutes get over, you don't even realise :)

I wore my beloved purple pants with a simple loose satin shirt and my leopard print bow flats, so basically a simple outfit because the heat that day was unbearable and it was important to wear clothes that let some air get to you!

Black Satin Top - Cotton On
Purple Pants - Spring Break (earlier worn here)
Leopard Print Bow flats - Forever New
Golden Bag - Sisley (earlier worn here and here)
Pearl and Horse shoe pendant necklace - Accessorize
Bangles - Hill Road and Colaba Causeway

This is the last post in the series on our Singapore trip. We didn't click any pictures on the last day of our trip but those memories are imprinted in our minds forever :)

How did you like the Singapore Travel Tales? Would love to know.

Travel Tales - Singapore's Little India

When you go to little India you feel like you are back in Chennai! It's ethnic with beautiful temples and loads of saree shops, you can smell spice and jasmine all around, it's loud with blaring Tamil and Bollywood music, and there's nothing like the energetic street life you see there in the whole of Singapore.

One finds some of the most authentic South Indian eateries here like Anjappar, Komala Vilas, Ananda Bhavan, Sakunthala and a lot more. My recommendation is the Kottu Parotha at Anjappar which I never miss. It means minced parotha and is made using parotha(Indian bread), egg, meat and salna which is a spicy sauce. The main attraction that keeps this area buzzing 365 days and 24/7 is the amazing 24 hour shopping centre Mustafa. You can find everything under the sun here other than real estate and cars. You will be surprised at the kind of deals you can get there. None of my trips are complete without a visit to this place. The closest MRT station to Mustafa is Farrer Road. People looking at converting foreign exchange to Singapore Dollars - no one in the whole of Singapore can give you a better rate than Mustafa!

Our very first destination on the trip was Little India since we had money to exchange and I wanted to take PS to Mustafa and Anjappar. Wearing a comfy white outfit and pairing it with a colourful Quirk Box Ice Cream factory vest to add a pop of colour(you all know how much I love Quirk Box), we set out to start exploring the city of Singapura.

A melting pot of all things Indian - Little India is an irreplaceable part of Singapore!

Barely there colours....

I'm still reeling from the response that PS's Guest Post received over the last one week :-) I'm so proud of him!! Don't all of us feel happy when someone we love or care about gets praised?? I'm sure we all do :-) These are the little pleasures in life and I do believe that its the small things that make a big difference to our lives rather than big things. And to all those who have motivated PS to write again(which includes me), I promise that he will give us some more stuff to read once in a while!!

This post is on a trend that I am in awe of - Nude coloured outfits! Barely there colours like nude, off white, cream and beige are a rage these days. With the trend starting to pick up since the second half of 2010, its a hot favourite right now. Summer 2011 saw nude in various materials like chiffon, crepe, georgette, silk and also in various combinations with metallic colour embellishments and with shimmer and glitter.

When PS decided to buy me a dress on my birthday last year, I was very clear in my head that I wanted a nude coloured dress. A trend that was just picking up at that time, I was sure that I had to have one! The best part was that we didn't have to put in too many efforts to find one :-) Forever New was the first store we entered and there in front of my eyes was this ideal layered ruffled dress which I knew that very minute was going to be mine :-D My birthday was perfect with me wearing this chic dress to dinner. I accessorised it with a gold clutch, a gold and silver multi layered necklace and chose cream coloured open toe cross woven stilettos for my happy feet :-)


Dress - Forever New

Gold Clutch - Local Store in Mumbai

 

 Gold and Silver multi layered necklace - Ri(t)ch Styles

Open toe cross woven stilettos - Charles & Keith 

Keep in mind a few things when you buy a nude coloured outfit:

• A nude outfit looks best when it is a shade different than the wearer's skin tone
• Stick to metallic/neutral accessories to avoid the attention being drawn away from the outfit or at the most red/black if you want a little contrast
• In case the outfit has any bright colours used, then think of using accessories in that particular colour
• Make up for the day should be earthy tones for the eyes and shimmery lip gloss for the lips and for the night should be metallic/pinkish shades for the eyes and red/pink glossy lipstick for the lips.
• Most important - Don't over-clutter a nude look. Keep it simple and clean.

Try this colour for sure, its elegant and appealing and till the next post, keep reading and commenting which keeps me going :-)

Ciao!
