Pick Of The Day: Floral Printed Chambray Shirt

Hi Fashionholics!!!

How was your weekend and what was your weekend outfit?

Spring/summer fashion is always so fun and vibrant and one thing that is adopted more than anything is floral. However I thought recreating my style and go for something unexpected like floral printed chambray shirt and metallic knife pleated skirt. 

Read on to know more about this creative outfit of mine.

What I love doing is rolling my sleeves up above my elbow cause it makes it look more laid back and relaxed.

I bought this chambray shirt from one of the store in Bangladesh called Artisan. Why I bought this? I love everything about this shirt ....the details, the front pockets, the Peter Pan collar and ofcourse the tiny floral print.

Wearing shiny fabric during the day takes a lot of gut. I wore this Forever 21 knife pleated skirt with mustard shoe to tone it down a little bit.....and it looks fabulous!

What I love about this collar is I can wear necklaces of every shape and style. So I went for this multi colour one that looks pretty over my floral printed chambray shirt.

Long satchel bag is so me! The powder blue bag unexpectedly matches the whole outfit.

So, how do you wear your chambray shirt this spring? And what other things are on the top of your spring fashion list? Let me know in the comments below.

Look Of The Week: Meeting His Parents

Hello!!! Fashionholics! 

It's weekend! Starting today every Saturday I am going to bring Look of the week. 

What you are going to find here is an easy solution to what you would be wearing to a particular occasion, event, on weekend or just on a casual day. 

So, today, "my look of the week" is.......drumroll.....drumroll......."Meeting His Parents" 

So, many of us who are meeting our date's parents have encountered this situation of fretting over whether to go conservative or dress up according to what your boyfreind thinks is right. Well, some of us would go extreme and dress up like plain Jane to impress his parents. On the other hand there are rest of us who do not care about whatever people think and would bring out the inner diva by opting for something unexpected! So, what happens in the end either we end up being overdressed or underdressed.

 Do not fret it's time to take the matter in our hands and bring about a permanent change in the way we all dress up when meeting his parents. 

So, I take it as a challenge to come up with a style solution for all the Fashionholics out there.

So, the first question you ask.........

Should I go for conservative?

My answer: Yes, but with a touch of modernism

Second question you ask.......

Should I go for trend or basic?

My answer: Balancing both

Your Third and final question might be......

What should I wear when I don't know how his parents are or what they prefer?

My answer: timeless pieces with a touch of your very own style statement.

So, I am here to give fashion advice to those of you who are invited to meet your boyfriend's parents for the first time. Well, the situation is pretty pressurized for those of you who do not know the place where you would be meeting them. 

So, my step by step fashion rules are: 

1. A timeless peasant style blouse in solid colour is perfect

2. Too many bracelets and accessories are distracting, so a big no no.

3. A statement necklace is a yes! Make sure it's not clashing with your top....you want it to be visible.

4. Since midi pencil skirts are feminine and conservative,it's an appropriate choice.

5. Mixing prints are fun! Go for a printed skirt and printed bag like this polka dot one below.

6. When choosing your shoe go for basic colour like black, white or brown in comfortable material 

7. If you are on the shorter side, prints that are vertical are mandatory for you ( check out the skirt below) 

8. To be on the safe side contrasting colour always works than clashing one like this yellow skirt and Crimson top.

9. Remember that platform elongates your leg and are comfortable to walk around.

10. Add your own style statement....it can be orange lips, polka dot bag, moto jacket...etc.

However if you are not a skirt person, go for dress pants, cigarette pants or even culotte, the trick is to balance one trendy item with a timeless one. Always go for heels until you know that the place you are going to meet them is an outdoorsy one. Finally the biggest and the most cliche fashion tip is known by all of us....it's to be yourself and smile. 

So, this was the very first look of the week....hoping to hear from you soon. Let me know what you like about this weeks "look of the week" and also what other "look of the week" you want me to blog about.

Trends To Try: Darek Lam Aw15

Hey Fashionholics!

 Darek Lam show in NFW showcased gorgeous warm colours which I absolutely adore and those gorgeous models made me feel like investing in sleeveless coats and judo belts this coming autumn/winter 2015. 

So, this are my favourite trends to try this aw 15 from Darek Lam and I might add some surprising element or mix up both spring and autumn trends in some of these favourite trends of mine. 

Check out all these trends below and let me know what you think.

1. Functional yet stylish: A coat that is functional yet stylish gives you the advantage of keeping you warm and happy at the same time! 

Fashion Tip: If you are bored of one your old cold change the buttons,go to the tailor add some fur collar. For the most daring ones out there you can take it to the tailor and add unexpected embroidery or even cutworks at the bottom or on your sleeves.

2. Warm tones: warm tones are definitely my colours and colours such as mustard, almond, toasty almond, camel, brown, chocolate brown, beige are huge for AW15. 

Fashion Tip: if warmer tones are not your thing and doesn't suit you but you are thinking of experimenting with any of these colours make sure they are away from your face. Try going for colours that suits you near your face and mostly top part and go for warmer tones at the bottom. Otherwise there is always the accessories you can play with.....Wear warmer tones as your accessories like go for chocolate brown round toe shoes.

3. Sleek and clean: sleek and cleen fabrics are for those who believes in lots of work and no play. What I mean is its for the practical lady with style which portrays elegance.

Fashion Tip: keep it casual sometimes. Sleek fabric and clean silhouette looks great with undone messy hair....

4. Judo belt: The trend has been seen in PFW15, NFW15, MFW15 and LFW15 and I still cannot get over it.

Fashion Tip: I think it's best suited with coat but you can also try it over your long slip dress and cardigan.

5. Sleeveless Coat: Finally it's the trend of the year and I think one of the most talked about trend of AW15 runways.

Fashion Tip: wear your summer staple during fall when it's not very much chilly out there. Try a long full sleeve cotton shirt dress underneath your sleeveless coat and finish the look with lace up colourful shoe.

Trends come and go but we have to wear it in such a way to make it look unique and effortlessly put together. Let me know which trend is your favourite and how you would wear it. And also if you find this post productive and fun please make sure you comment below.

Fashion Tip: Utility + Feminity

Hey Fashionholics!

It's been a long time I don't get to write because I have been extremely busy with school work. So, I am done with exams ....when I woke up today in the morning I decided and promised myself to give my blog which I love the most (and have been missing lately) more time than anything.

This is a late post and the pictures ware taken last week, so rather than calling it the outfit of the day, the term outfit of last week suits more.

I love utility fashion, it's inspired by wartime and generally the colours are khaki or military green. As spring is most colourful season where fashion creativity is enhanced, I thought why not mix the trend utility with something feminine like this peplum top. Well, it's basically a peplum dress, I tucked the dress in my pant and made it look like a top. I also wore white zip up shirt underneath to give it more like 30s inspired vintage look and finished off the look with colour block Crimson shoe which matches with the tiny floral print of my peplum top.

So, my fashion tip of the day: Utility + Feminity  

Read my tips to mix utility with feminity 

1. Same colour family: Same colour family is hard to dress but when done right it adds inches to your height. Go for shades of baby pink, onion red and crimson in your outfit to make you  look leaner and longer.

2. Precious stone + vintage inspired: pendent handed down to you by your great grandmother or your mom have sentimental value to you. As precious as your pendent is, it would look marvellous if you follow your grandmother or your mom's footsteps and imitate their vintage inspired fashion. In this case I went for 70s inspired wide leg utility pant, white zip up shirt underneath peplum top and my ruby pendant. Try something like vintage polka dot frocks with a beautiful pendant.

3. Floral + utility: As I said before utility dressing can be more interesting and fashion forward if you go for something ladylike or feminine rather than menswear inspired. Go for utility jacket with tiered skirt or you can try floral print jacket and utility inspired maxi dress this spring.

4. Orange and brown: I absolutely love this brown vintage watch and I thought of pairing it with one of my street finds...Orange bracelet.  As I have said earlier in one of my post doubling up your accessories work and if you choose contrasting colour like orange and brown it definitely would turn heads in your way! Thinking what other ways you can teem up these two colour? Go for orange scarf and brown leather jacket in winter. This spring go for orange tank top with brown suede skirt or try orange heels and brown shorts.

5. Colour blocks in your feet: tired of colour block dress or tops, why not opt for a colour block shoe? 

These were the latest fashion tips by me after a long time. Let me know which one is your favourite in the comments. Love to hear from you soon. 

Xoxo and remember it's all about being fashion forward.

How To Wear: Blazer Style Top

Hey There!

I have this vintage  blazer style top which I purchased a long time back from Singapore but didn't know how to style it. Since 70's style are back for this spring and I thought of giving my favourite grey flare pant a new refreshing style with these amazing top which does so much wonder in an instant. The navy blue blazer style top is a bit old fashioned but I think it's pretty much workable with these pant and antique bracelet.

Read on to know more: 

1. Turning ugly in to pretty: " I think there is beauty in everything. What normal people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it." That's what Alexander Mcqueen said. And he is absolutely right about it. Just experiment with something that you know is longer in vogue or looks dated, you might find that it absolutely blends in and looks stylish with your dress pant, skinny jeans, midi skirts or even flare pants. I think many people would absolutely avoid half sleeve blazer or this cut, so give something like this a try with your skinny jeans or skinny pants if you want to play it safe. But for all the daring ones out there try it with different stuff like harem pants, joggers, flare pant, mini skirt or even midi. I went for 70s flare pant as its the spring season's most IT item.

2.  Double up: double up your accessories. Trying layering 2 bracelets or 2 small cuffs in same colour, same sizes or same patterns.

3.  Unique details in unexpected places: it could be a fur over your shoulder, peekaboo near your waist or flowers over your knee....going for unique details in unexpected places gives the whole look a new and unique or even futuristic style. For example this blazer has applique at the two ends of each side.

4. Feminine touch to menswear inspired: Menswear is in! It never gets boring no matter how many times you have tried. A little bit of feminine accessories like this cute little beautiful earrings are a touch of  prettyness and sophistication to my menswear inspired look of blazer style top and flare pants.

5. Navy and red: A very common fashion tip almost followed by all fashionistas out there! But this is one of my favourite and I think it would stay everyone's favourite forever. So try something like a red dress with navy shoe or navy blazer with red shoe or even red skirt with navy bag.

6. Clothes that has jewelleries: I think every one of us have items that have clothes that have attached jewelleries. If you have strands of pearl hanging over your turtle neck top just try it on in with your maxi skirt or even culottes and long dangling earrings and cocktail rings. Jewelleries attached to your clothes are pretty interesting to stylise cause it gives you kind of a challenge to mix and match it with other accessories. In this case this blue pendent were attached to my half sleeve blazer styled top and I think it looks great.

I would absolutely love to hear what you think of today's outfit.

1. Incorporate your basic structured pieces with your floral: Big floral looks great and brightens your work outfit and so go for structured pieces like fitted pant or blazer with your floral.

Trend Alert: Black Maxi Skirt

Hello Fashionholics! 

Today I would like to share how  to wear the trend maxi skirt. The combination of maxi skirt with butterfly sleeves gives the whole look a feminine yet bohemian look. So, my ootd includes maxi skirt, butterfly sleeves baby pink top, an ivory bag, green cuff, 90s inspired earrings and clogs.

Read on to know more about the timeless trend, the black maxi skirt.

1. Ruffle detail looks great if it's light colour. Darker ruffles are good as well but if you want to stand out from the crowd go for ruffle blouse in light colour.

2. Mix Green with baby pink. This unexpected colour combo looks great with solid colour incorporated in them.

3. The rule of "less is more" never goes out. When it comes to make up or defining your best face structure nothing is better than following less is more make up trend. When you are running errands your favourite lipstick, mascara and eye liner works wonder. Dab a little bid of moisturiser ( it should be really little) all over your face. You can also go for hydrating serum if you want to avoid moisturiser in summer.

4. Play with your sleeves. Enough of boring sleeves this spring try new sleeve trends like butterfly sleeves, balloon sleeves and dramatic poetic sleeves.

5. Try the stunning 90s earring trend. Such bigger unique earrings were common during 90s and I think they are pretty unique.
