We are all in that time of the year, celebrating the last few moments of 2014, last few days of December, and probably celebrating the last Saturday before Christmas. Glitters and Jitters everywhere. December has always been the craziest month for most of us, I bet its been even more for girls like me as I know, we always have nothing to wear!

So, for me December = FancyPants. 

Let's know why ?

I came across FancyPants almost 6 months back at an exhibition and realised that they have an outfit for each occasion at all times. Ask for a  casual day out or your best friend's cocktail night party - they have the perfect solution to each event still being so good on your pocket. I totally love how FancyPants makes it so easy for me to find the right outfit each time. It's like they have everything right under one roof! From summer short dresses, to sexy maxis, to bold shoes to multi-stone accessories. 

My December has been completely insane so far. If you follow me on Instagram, you would know that my parents celebrated 25 years of togetherness this year. Also, a one of my best friends got hitched last week! In between all this madness and doing all the arrangements, I knew FancyPants had my back on to set me in for each party. 

About this look: I chose this watercolour maxi from FancyPant's new collection. I love the abstract print with the rotation of warm colours and positive vibes all around me. My jaw dropped *literally* when I felt the chilly Bombay air on my bare back. Also, this was one of my best fitted maxi. The material left behind a beautiful drape, shaping my body type just right. I chose their shine bright like a diamond heels to add that heavy embellished texture to my ensemble. I'm always the kinds to go with statement earrings and leave my hands all bare, but this time I chose to go completely opposite. That is because, FancyPants tempted me so much with their gorgeous range of accessories, so much that I wasn't satisfied with just one. Their rib cage cuff was quite different from the usual handcuffs that are available outside, that caught my attention so quickly. Balanced out my accessories and added a solid black clutch to complete my look.

Some other pieces that I personally love from FancyPants: Willy Wonka Button Down Shirt, Tribal Shirt Dress, Coachella Jumpsuit, Silver Sequin Dress and these Wink at me loafers.

Merry Christmas everyone & have a fabulous New Year !

October 15 was Love & Something's first anniversary and I couldn't thank you all any less for being such wonderful readers. I've have truly never felt so loved before. Also, the people behind Love & Something who have motivated and helped me so much during this gorgeous journey, a big thank you to you guys as well. This wouldn't have been possible without you. Celebrations, Happiness and too much Love <3 

Last week had been quite chilly, but thankfully my sun came out again. I guess it missed me too! I know Bombay summers could be quite the kill, but that's one season I love, like no other! I'm currently drooling over this pair of my embellished pastel-salmon pink, embellished mocassins from Sole'D shoes. These make such a bold statement, effortlessly. The versatility of these shoes make me want to wear them from day to night. Another reason why I love Sole'D, is because they can customise their shoes into any colour of your choice! Also, they are super comfortable and shoe-bite-free. What more does a girl need ? Catch Sole'D Shoes' on Facebook & Instagram.

About this look: There are times when we girls go through major crisis, when we have just about 9 minutes to get ready, snap and head out of the house to party. And, the saddest part about this true story is, that it keeps coming back to me time and again. Say atleast once a week, I have to go through this trauma, and trust me those are the times when I feel I should just run away from the world. I love playing dress-up and taking my time like a princess, and love it even more when I have to make my boy wait down for me to come. I know, I can be quite the devil at times. But, when I just have those 9 minutes to get ready, (because if i say ten it sounds longer) I need to use my quick tricks to glam and shine. So when I was just in my rose-milk shift dress, spending an evening - working at Starbucks, I get a quick call from my girls for a sassy girls night out. Works just stops there. Period. Rush home, wash my face, put on my make-up and this chic stripped blazer. Loosen my hair, add statement accessories and my bold, shiny shoes. If you follow me on Instagram, you would know about my floral obsession and my recent purchase from Cupidity and what came in that adorable box, was that even more adorable floral clutch^ I love how stripes and florals play around together and that's what set my outfit just right! Before I end this post, I just have to mention to you guys about Chambor's new extreme matte long wear lip colour collection. They have such a velvety texture, easy and accurate application and as the name suggests - long lasting. You guys must get your hands over this one!

Details: Bag: WINK | Make-up pouch: Forever21 | Mac Lipstick in Exhibitionist; Exotic Guava Body Splash by H&M; Himalaya mini neem face wash; Hand Food ( hand cream ) by Soap & Glory; Mac Haute & Naughty lash mascara; Fine one one blush by Benefit; random pins, Rimmel scandal eyes liner and Maybelline baby lips in Cherry Me | Aviators: Emporio Armani | Notebook: Accessorize | Pens: Staedtler | Johnson's & Johnson's baby wipes | And my iPad & iPhone.

Sheilvi and I were drooling over the result of our video this morning and we just couldn't wait to share it with you guys. We are absolutely loving our recent collaboration with WINK and we just don't seem to get enough of it. It's a sunny Friday morning and I am so ready to rock the weekend days shopping and eating with my beffies & comfy WINK tote. For me, when in doubt, I just switch to orange. Orange has always played as the 'safe' color for me. Maybe it be for lipshade, nailpaint or my bag. It's been one of my personal neutral colors as I'd take orange with everything, over everything. Thus, I was so so glad, when I found this orange tote in the parcel by WINK. If you saw my last post [here], you would know how versatile these WINK bags are. Well, now I say, don'tt just underestimate the size of this tote, because trust me, this bag can fit in way too many things without making it look all fluffy. Want to know how ? Just check out the video above and buy one for yourself here. I adore the bird print on this bag which gives the perfect Indian culture touch to it. 

Moving on to what's in my bag today [ Excuse me for skipping out on my wallet. It was in a mess with all the chewing gum wrappers and bills. ] - I've mentioned all the details above. Since it's a Friday, I prefer carrying a makeup pouch with me, just in case of last minute night plans. Don't we all know how the boys function when it comes to making plans ? So a mini facewash hits #1 in my bag. Another very vital thing are those Johnson's & Johnson's baby wipes. I only use these because they are non-alcoholic, mildly scented and the best part is that they also remove makeup in seconds! A few other cosmetics, a good hand cream and a sweet body splash & I'm good to go!

Happy Weekend Ladies :*

Vintage Romance With WINK

Top: Mango | Maxi Skirt: Zara | Shoes: Charles & Keith | Bag: WINK | Choker Necklaces: Accessorize, Forever21 | Ring: Colaba

I'm so delighted to be back to what I can do best. The past 5 months have been quite challenging. If you follow me on Instagram you'd know how much I've been running between errands and work. I've been working on some editorials, college assignments and events. And then that's not all - My weekend getaways & travel just don't seem to get over. Meeting new people and being in a totally new atmosphere served me with a much-needed break and I'll lie if I said I really wanted to get back to reality. But then someone just had to prick my bubble full of magic and hence, I came back to the tough yet not so boring life. Why did I say not so boring ? Because you guys have been such a great audience and have always encouraged me to what I do the best.

Moving forward to the outfit - I absolutely love the olive green & red combination with black & gold add-ons. I never imagined how amazingly this combination could work. Olive green has been on top of my color preference list for a while. This hue blends effortlessly with any other color and can make an outfit look so freaking stylish. This skirt has been my recent buy from Zara and its such a comfortable piece to roam around with. I've been shopping really wisely off-lately, and this skirt has been such a wonderful investment. I'm currently looking out for stylish pieces this I can wear anywhere, anytime and this has definitely been one of them. 

My WINK bag has successfully given a vintage feel to my already very vintage maxi, and I'm so happy to have WINK checked on my collaboration list. The versatility of this bag had been proved so beneficial to carry  to meetings as a sling and a purse/clutch for a night out. Another reason why I'm so crushing on this piece is because I can also use it on festive occasions. WINK has got a wide range of festive bags & clutches and it's one such like no other. You can order yours by checking out their facebook page. You can also find their collection available at Amara , Sobo & Fuel - Mumbai & India Circus by Krsna Mehta.

Wear this outfit to brunch or dinner date with your boyfie and he's sure to WINK at you ;)

Knot It Up With Pipa + Bella

We all know about this really adorable brand for fun, daily baubles and I'm sure each one of you owns at least one piece from this make. And let me tell you, if you haven't you must own one right away! The reason why I love Pipa + Bella and  even recommend buying jewelry from them is because of their excellent quality and hand-picked creativity. You will never find pieces that you do at Pipa + Bella elsewhere, and isn't that what every girl wants ? They have a perfect blend of dainty and chunky pieces of jewelry that will compliment any outfit so easily. 

Also, how could I forget to mention their packaging ? Pipa + Bella baubles come in compact, adorable boxes because they want to make sure that you jewelry is in place with no damage at all :D

Another reason why I found necessary to cover Pipa + Bella on the blog today is to let you know about their new exclusive scarf line that they just launched this month! We all have phases when we just want to set loose, break free and reside by the beach sipping in mint coolers and probably read a book. We all have those moments when accessories become hard to accessorize and you just don't know what to add-on to your outfit. That's when statement scarves come to play! Scarves add a vibrant neckline to your silhouette irrespective of the color. Its attractive, chic and yet to easy. How cool is that ? This is one such accessory I worship. And why so ? Because it helps you to style your outfit in innumerable ways, also saves you from tanning ( but yet don't forget your sun screen ;) ) Even during winters, when some are covered from top to bottom in greys, black and maroons, it is only the scarf that becomes a medium of color.

Summer Carnival With StyleFiesta

Photo Credits: Sana Golia | Rohil Shah

Dress: Forever21 | Denim Vest: Zara | Shoes: Forever New | Bag: Ted Baker | Earrings, Cuff, Ring: StyleFiesta 

We are in the middle of this crucial month, where the heat outside can literally kill us! And in between all this summer time madness, we girls still love to look fabulous <3 Don't you all agree ? 

About this look: Denim jackets, denim vests, denim over denim. I'm loving this whole denim phase. Boyfriend jeans to ripped denims, we need to try them all. We want to have them all ;) So here, I paired up a simple plain fuchsia pink dress with a denim vest to create a sporty yet a very chic - day look. If you have seen my last post, you must have noticed these tan heels before. I love how these heels play such a colorful role to complete each of my outfit. These tan block heels perfectly adds to the sportiness that this outfit deserves. A hint of print using my Ted Baker sling bag was the best decision made! Moving on to StyleFiesta <3 

StyleFiesta is one of the best online store one can shop from. Its my personal favorite. The best thing that I love about SF is that it aims to keep their clients go with the current trend. They have an excellent and yet an affordable range of accessories and wide range of sunnies :) 

While collaborating with StyleFiesta, trust me, it was ridiculously difficult which to choose and what to let go. Being a strong believer in the art of accessorizing, StyleFiesta has always been my #1.

Camouflage With The Traveller's Trove

Maxi: Forever 21 | Crop Top: H&M | Vintage Necklace: The Travellers Trove | Shoes: Forever New | Clutch: Primark | Sunglasses: StyleFiesta | On My Lips: Mac's Impassioned | On My Nails: ColorBar's Feisty Pink

Moving on with summer, Mumbai has reached an unbelievable heat index of 45 degrees and honestly, its getting a bit too humid for pants and even shorts for that matter. The minute we step back home, after long hours of work, we get so sticky and feel the oil all over our face. But hey! there is nothing to worry now because maxis are here to the rescue. If you are from the ones who feel shy of wearing short dresses, or sleeveless silhouettes, this outfit is an ideal choice. 

About this look: I've summed up this outfit by taking inspiration from three trends currently moving around us. One: The maxi affair | Two: Crop tops | Three: Tropical color palette. We all have seen Zara having an outburst of tropical prints, which have been incorporated in every silhouette possible. Going slightly towards solid colors, I picked up tropical colors i.e olive green and tan brown and added white and a tinge of pink to stand out. If you are cautious about your arms or stomach, and still urge to wear sleeveless or crop tops, it's simple! Pair them up both together :) Yes, you read right. I paired my olive green sleeveless maxi with a white crop top just to balance out my outfit and trust me its the most comfortable outfit in the world. I was lusting to have a vintage necklace with charms and all things nice, and this one that I received from The Travellers Trove was perfect. Its was the right blend of pearls, studs, and lovely charms that beautifully enhanced my upper body. I fell in love with it all the more because it was giving me a slight break from the gold accessories and seeking in more of a vintage appeal. 

I'm so happy to announce Love & Something's new collaboration with The Travellers Trove. They surely do have a wide range of chunky and dainty accessories. You can buy them at Amazon as well :) 

Until next time :*
