How To Wear Your Culottes In Vintage Style

I have a confession to make: I love vintage clothing. All my life I have always welcomed new trends but I get excited to try out vintage fashion more than experimenting with new trends. However, I also love the idea of mixing new trend with vintage fashion.

However there is nothing new in my attire except for cullotes which is again a vintage fashion trend. I spotted this beautiful cobalt blue polka dot cullotes at Fairweather which reminded me of Bridgete Jones. I bought it instantly seeing the room it gives me to move around, sit comfortably and stretch. 

Read on more to know how I dressed up to get in to vintage mood.

Blood red colour calls for attention and a must have fall colour. 


The high neck collar and long puffed sleeves are perfect if you want dress like a vintage diva.


A touch of modern would do no harm! A statement ring from H&M makes my look fashionable.


Hoop earrings are essential if you want to dress vintage.


Cocktail ring from H&M is perfect accessory to dress up your cullotes.


Ballets are timeless and they are always in fashion. Touch of blush is the best way to make your look subtle and not look overdressed. I opted for Ardene blush ballets to balance my vintage look.

Let me know know what you think about my vintage look and whether you would opt gor polka dot cullotes.

How To Wear Culottes From Day To Night

Hey Fashion Lovers!

This summer was all about culottes for me. I dressed them up and dressed them down depending on the occasion. Here is a picture of me in Washington during July wearing Forever 21 culottes ( 28 dollar) and Forever 21 top (20 dollar) .

The occasion: sight seeing in Washington in the morning  followed by Dinner in New Jersey.

Culottes could take you from day to night during summer. It's comfortable, breathable, breezy and stylish. 

Read on to know more.

As I had to attend a casual dinner party at night but at the same time don't want to look I have put a lot of effort I made sure my accessories stand out. In this case statement sunglasses from Aldo (10 dollar) Egyptian inspired turquoise necklace from Sears (19 dollar) and gold slip on from Aldo (40 dollar).


By changing the appearance of your tops or shirts can change and give a whole new look to any outfit instantly. My off the shoulder top now has scoop neck and looks Victorian.



As I would be spending the whole day in the sun and needed to pack a lot of things in my bag like water bottle, sunscreen, lipstick I went for structured bag in ivory colour. This colour adds richness and is perfect for the dinner party.


The trend to try this year is Morocco inspired prints. This print was seen in  Fall 2016( Versace, Giambatista Valli and Drias Van Noten) 
Fashion Tip: Go for loose silhouette and shape to get in the Persian mood


Another trend to try throughout this 2015 year is Victorian inspired high neckline. Whether you choose high neck collar, or high neckline, turtle neck or high neck frilled collar, this year is all about Victorian Era. Though it's a off the shoulder top I made sure the neckline starts from just below my throat.

Let me know what you think about this look and how you would dress down and up your culottes.

Dress Up Your Maxi Dress With These 4 Tips

Every time during spring and summer I struggle with mexi length dresses rather than worrying about them for fall and Winter. It's because it's easier to wear maxi dresses during colder months rather than warmer months. During colder months I go for military jackets, gloves, beanie sleeveless vest depending on the condition  of the weather. 

However during the summer of July 2015 I gave it some new twist. I went to this park near Brooklyn bridge. The weather was perfect not too warm or cold. Check out my Four tips to dress up your maxi dress for summer.


1. Floppy Hats are stylish and best for bad hair day. Go for a quick fashion update by choosing for something big, stylish and trendy like this Nine West floppy white hat.




2. Match your belt with your hat instead of matching your bag with ur shoe. A trick worth remembering  next time you go for a stroll in maxi dress.


3. Structured bag in lighter shade is enough to make you look classier.


4. Everything gold is the key when it comes to accessories. I choose gold necklace from Suzy Shier and gold slip Ons from Aldo.


Let me know how you would accessorize your maxi dress during summer or end of summer.


Style Tip: Peplum Top + Joggers

As I gave promised during August that I would be covering every detail about my USA trip and talk about how I dressed all throughout summer season, I thought I should start with Day 1 of my USA trip. It was a sunny day and a visit to lakeside was a must. It was 30 degree Celsius outside and felt like my skin was melting. However it was windy too. Since I thought of taking a brisk walk I thought should opt for joggers which are comfy when you want to take walk, stretch and move around.

Thankfully I packed my jogger from Fair Weather in my suitcase in the very last moment and it certainly did save the day.... Coz the last think I want to wear was a mini skirt which would have been a blunder considering the day was sunny and windy......


I think this moss green peplum top from Suzy Shier gives a very slimming effect and makes my look a bit less casual. What I love about the peplum top is that it has see through  fabric around the shoulder and sleeves and make the top look alluring and modern.


Dramatic sun glasses are required if you want to look fashion forward and feel protected from sun rays. My one was on sale in Aldo and it was 2 for 20 Canadian dollar! Can you believe this?


A big structured bag where you can fit almost anything is required for a long day out. I opted for something in lighter colour and which is a contrast with my overall outfit. I love this bag from Aldo which is stylish, structured, classic, functional, in vogue and less than 100 dollar which is like only 60dollar and  what can you ask for more?


When it comes to accessories I look for those that would give me a slimming effect. In this case long statement strands.


In the end I happy with my visit to a place in New Jersey where I could see the whole Newyork, watch sailing, sit on the park and spend some good time. Therefore before leaving the house I made sure I had sunscreen on, hair nicely brushed and blow dried and have glossy and chapped lips.


As I had to walk a lot but couldn't forgo my style sense I choose what the most unique fashionistas would choose: Gold Slip Ons. It's crisis cross, comfortable, stylish and out of the blue choice for such outfit. It's from Aldo and you will get it for 40 dollar. 

Let me know what you think about today's post and what do you think about peplum top and joggers combination.

Petal Full Skirt + Turtleneck Top + Vest + Edgy Accessories

With all the craziness going around in my house and with the sudden technical problem in my iPad it's becoming hard for me to focus on my blogging. However after getting done with my manicure and getting my iPad fixed I got back to my blogging world. My love for blogging hasn't diminished yet and would never be in the future. 

So, today I feel a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulder: my IPad is working again. I lost all my pictures saved but I got all my important notes back. I m a bit relieved that I can get back in to my work and feel fabulous.

Check out my latest outfit I wore when I was running errands finishing all my important works including getting my iPad fixed.

A great printed full skirt with petals is the perfect item for summer. Read on how I wear it and let me know what you think.


Looks good With loafers, sure! Gone are the days when a full skirt is worn with stilettos or wedges. Make it edgy and casual with something like this zebra print loafers and feel comfortable all day long.


Go crazy with accessories! More unique the better! I went for this double layer strand necklace with a hanger and coins dangling in the end.


Give your bag a makeover! Instead of carrying  ur structured bag on your wrist, go for long satchel and give it the illusion of cross body bag.


I went for a simple white cuff with golden dots


Layer your turtle neck top with a vest or shrug next time and master the art of layering. This would give you protection from wind and make you look chic.

Let me know in the comments below what you think.xoxo

Long Time No See

I know it's been a very long time I don't blog or write about my latest obsession about fashion,dear fashionholics. I have been busy for a long time from cleaning the whole house, to hosting a party, to travelling to Unites States to visiting new places and meeting my two little cousins. I am gonna start writing about them soon. Here are some pictures taken somewhere in the second week of July and just before visiting USA. 


Here is how my summer holiday began with a nice Friday Night party in Toronto downtown. This is what I bought from Forever 21: 3D Flower white mini skirt. What I love about this skirt is whether I  dress it up or down  it never fails to look feminine and pretty. This skirt suits me perfectly and looks perfect for a party.


I opted for one dark and one light midium sized cuff and I don't regret my decision. Make a style statement by opting for light and dark unique cuffs.


Match your bag with your skirt instead of matching your bag with your shoe! You hear that right! It makes my outfit look brighter and fresh. Opt for light colours if you have a smaller hip like me and make sure the bag doesn't fall just above your bust...either choose a cross body bag or a bag that drops somewhere near your waistline to give a slender effect. 


I matched my tights and with my shoe to give an illusion of longer and leaner body.


V neck makes my neck look longer and as its a party I opted for something gorgeously sexy like this studded navy blue top.


Drop earrings are must have accessory for summer party night. However make sure your earring is lighter and doesn't get tangled to your hair. I opted for Aldo earrings.


Another thing I liked about this bag is the gorgeous satchel which is definitely a statement making item.

Let me know what you think about outfit of the month. There are more posts coming up about USA trip and about latest fashion trends. Please come back to know about the most trendiest fall item and shopping deals. Have a look at my A Shopaholic's Life page to know more about deals and coupons.....

Review: Spooky Eyes Contact Lenses

Hey Everyone ! How are you doing?

Today I bring you a review post which I have been thinking of doing for a while. Finally after waiting for 1 month I got this contact lens from spooky eyes today.  In exchange for an honest review of spin blue contact lenses from spooky eyes I get to keep this gorgeous free product!

So, contact lenses are the best way to change your look for special occasion, Halloween or even for taking selfies! So, when I received this product my first thought was that I won't be able to put the lens on cause this is the first time I am experimenting with contact lens. However I have grown seeing my elder sister experimenting with coloured contact lens. So, I recieve this Dream Eyes contact lens box and opened the seal to find this gorgeous looking contact lens.... This was my first time and I was kind of nervous that I would poke my eye or something. With little help of my sister who constantly gave me instructions on how to put them on I finally managed to put them on after half an hour of standing infront of mirror.

If you are thinking of putting them on for the first time like me I would better suggest that you go for this product....I know it took me a lot of time to put on the lens but it was worth it in the end. There was no feeling of discomfort, itching, puffiness or anything that would put myself in danger. Plus I think it looks great even though there was no make up on! 

However I felt that the contact lenses looked a bit bigger than the regular natural contact lenses 

I love this and going to keep this Spin Blue Contact Lenses for five reasons:

1) They changed the way I look
2) They are great for Halloween 
3) I can take them off easily even though putting them on was a difficult task for me
4) Made my small eyes look bigger
5) They look great without make up 

Check out the pictures below! Let me know whether you would buy this Spin Blue Contact Lenses from Spooky Eyes ..... Do you like this contact lenses on me? and let me know whether you liked today's post.
