She still has it goin'

Ok so maybe Kate Middleton might consider this absolutely looney and also bordering on creepy that I have been researching her fashion statements post the Royal Wedding, ever so rigorously. But I'm sure you understand that, that is also a mark of a good well-researched blog post *pats self on back*. So if I haven't given it away in so many words already, I have compiled a post to sum up Kate Middleton's hand picked- few best ever casual-chic fashion moments, post The Wedding. The most exciting aspect of Kate Middleton's style still remains that her classic British roots shine through in all her outfits. Personally for me, a Duchess who is not a slave to designers and wears high-street with as much élan is an out and out winner.
Take a look at my handpicked favourites:

Blouse and skirt: Alexander McQueen

Blouse and Skirt: Whistles

Dress: Diane Von Furstenburg

Coat: Catherine Walker, Shoes: L K Bennett

Blouse: Alice by Temperley

Jeans: J Brand, Jacket: Smythe

Dress: Zara, Shoes: L K Bennett

Another interesting facet to Kate's style is the fact that its fairly simple to take a leaf out of her book. Fuss-free shift dresses, blouses in laces and nudes, classic toned wedges and pumps (primarily in black and nude) and throw in classic well-cut jackets and you are good to go.
Are you as bowled over by the Duchess' effortless style as I am? Share your thoughts on this post :)

-Blazers

-High waisted trousers

-Lace dresses

-Polka dotted Mid length skirts/Any mid length skirt

-Bright shirts to add a pop of colour.

 I would love to start it out with this outfit.Here i am wearing a Zara Blazer,Shirt from Colaba causeway and Trousers from Asos.High waisted trousers are flattering to any body shape.It might make you look a little shorter but make sure you pair them with heels.

Here i am wearing  a bright orange/rust shirt from asos.com and a polka dotted skirt from Colaba.Polka dots are big trend and for this fall/winter the polka dots are going to bigger & better.The bright orange shirt adds a pop of colour to the outfit .

 

Lace is extremely feminine.You can toughen the look up with a gold chunky chain .I love lace and this dress is from dorothy perkins .To make it look less girly and more edgy/quirky,you can wear a Black lace shirt with high waisted denim shorts.

 Here i am wearing the Adelaide blazer from shopatgiasaysthat.com ,floral topshop shirt,skirt from colaba and Suede brogues from Zara.

Thank you Shreya for giving me an opportunity to write for your blog.Your blog is lovely and so are your outfits :)

Thank you for reading! 

Diva-li Rants

Season's finest greetings to all my readers across the globe :)
Here in the Indian sub-continent, the festivities begin with the advent of October and only end after ushering in the New Year. So yeah, simply put, its 3 months of absolute, unadulterated fun and festive cheer. Now who wouldn't like that? :)
For this slightly nippy occasion of Diwali where all you see as far as your sight takes you are lights and gleam, I chose to wear an outfit in the combination of Golden and Fuchsia. I broke the rules this time and absolutely refused to wear a full-length Anarkali. Yes, I know that is probably the most sought after style of kurtis today but after having succumbed to different versions of the same in the past, this time I put my foot down.
Maybe you should take a look yourself to decide ;)

My attempt at a Rangoli, like every year! :)

This ensemble breaks a lot of rules. Silver embellishments on a golden jamawar, golden bangles teamed up with silver ones but if you know how to do it, you can definitely pull a dull gold and a silver together.
Share your Diva-li rants with me, fashionistas <3

Polka Princess takes over

Hey there!
Surprised to see a new face smiling out at you instead of dear old Shreya??? Well.......I'm lucky enough to be guest posting for her today! And I promise not to bore you!!  :)
First things first... I'm Polka Princess from Chappals v Stilletoes, a fashion blog which has become more than a hobby for me & which has helped me connect to numerous like-minded fashion-crazy (or not-so-crazy) individuals from all around the world! I'm myself a fashion designer by qualification, a visual merchandiser by profession & a stylist by passion. I started my blog around a year back to share my love of fashion with others & today, I can proudly say that I've established wonderful relationships with some such amazing people from all over the world (the author of this blog being one of them).........& my lovely readers never fail to encourage & support me to take my blog to new heights... :))
When Shreya asked me to guest post for her, I racked my brains for a good idea for a post that'll engage & interest her readers and at the same time, give them an opportunity to experience my personal style sensibilities..........after all, I strongly believe that being one's own self is the core foundation of a good fashion blog!
After much deliberation & not-so-much discussion (with Shreya), I decided to do a post on outfits based on a color theme. I should tell you here that I'm very much of a "colors" person.......... meaning that at any given place & time, you'll find at least 3 different colors on me!
I LOVE COLORS. Period.
So, it's no surprise that my post will be color-related! :)
Well.........I don't know about you all, but I, for one, adore the combination of Blue & Green. I feel that it's a very vibrant & interesting combination that go well with most other colors and that instantly make an outfit worth noticing! In fact, scientifically speaking, there are a good number of reasons why one feels good wearing these colors.  Blue is the color of inspiration, sincerity & spirituality, while Green represents nature, life & fertility. Both the colors have a soothing & calming quality and coupled together, they symbolize balance & growth, thus emitting a positive energy. I've tried out this combination on many successful instances & I thought I'll share the same with you all.

What do you guys think? Do I rock this killer color combo? Or have you guys played around with it & rigged up great outfits too??? Do let me know........ :)

Lots of love,
Polka Princess
P.S.: Hope you all liked me at least half as much as you like Shreya! ^_^
