Zara Jacket & Boots, Topshop Jeans and Stella McCartney Bag Sometimes finding the right 'outfit' to wear becomes challenging. Nearly every girl has to face the situation of having a closet full of clothes yet nothing to wear. Fret not, when you can't find anything to wear follow the motto - "when it doubt wear a jacket" - it can be a sharp blazer, a moto jacket or a bomber.  Jackets are life savers - not only it puts together an outfit but they also glam it up instantly. When you add a sharp blazer to a simple white tee and blue jeans combo and throw in a pair of pumps you are all set to take over the world in style in an instant. When you want something cool a moto or a Bomber does the trick. I for one love my jackets, this is one thing I never skimp on. While my black and white blazers are my go-to all time-favourites, but I also love other styles like this moto jacket with a twist. What is your go-to piece in your closet?

" To be different you must first be yourself " How many times did you scroll down your Instagram feed to find the same Moschino* belt, same Celine* bag, same trendy shoes, same Kenzo* jumper, same contoured face popping up on every blogger's feed? It will not be an exaggeration if I say that they are all starting to look the same. Or let's put it this way most bloggers seem clones of each other. Such an irony. But where has their individual style disappeared? Why are the fashion bloggers falling prey to mediocrity? Why does everyone in the fashion blogosphere need to dress alike? Back in early blogging days fashion bloggers had some real style - fun, accessible, classy, quirky, weird glam, street chic, feminine burst - everyone had something new to bring on table. Each blogger had a distinct voice  and blogging involved doing your own thing. Fast forward 2016 and today everyone is trying to fit in the cool crowd wearing the same trends that everyone else is s

Stradivarius Fringe Jacket, Zara Culottes, Stella McCartney Bag, Charles and Keith Heels Initially skeptic about fringe, I finally got a fringe jacket and I'm so glad I did. It adds a refreshing element of surprise to the look and the flippery flappery thing can be fun when it moves on walking. Pairing it with an all-black look that includes lace, culottes and caged heels, makes it such a easy breezy day-to-night look. I parired it my Stella McCartney Cavendish Tote. I have to say, among all Stella McCartney bags I have, including most falabella styles, this tote is my absolute favorite. I can easily stow all my essentials, its not too big or small and also not heavy like the Falabellas. Absolutely in love! No matter how many shoes we have in your wardrobe, more often than not we pick shoes depending on the current crush of the moment, and somehow we think those crush goes with everything we wear. For example these vegan heels that I recently bought somehow

    Wish you all a wonderful 2016! This new year I started with no resolutions, because every day will be an effort to become a better me.... New projects, travel plans around the corner and a wonderful weather in Dubai is how the 2016 commenced for me. Experiencing Dubai winter for the first time and its amazing. Not too cold, not the usual hot. Best part? You can finally wear your coats and boots!   Banana Republic LBD , Mango Trench Coat , Zara Heels and Stella McCartney Bag I've been obsessed with trench coats, and unfortunately the classic Burberry trench comes with leather detailing in the belt. So the search for the right trench that fits my petite frame perfectly had been on since forever. Fortunately I found this Mango trench recently and have been wearing it nearly everywhere. It's the best way to pull off any look and even turn drab to fab. Until I find the vegan Burberry style, this one gets my thumbs up. Wear it with everything from dresses

For those of you who are planning to visit Mumbai this winters and even for those who live in Bombay, you need to be prep up yourself for the winters (trust me you'll love this!): Here's how to survive the harsh Mumbai winter: You order a hot cup of coffee with friends, and soon after stop by at the street and get yourself fresh coconut water perhaps with the coconut meat! You only add 2 cubes of ice in your drinks instead of the usual 10. You wear the socks out for protection, because the floor is a degree colder than in the summer (lol) and more importantly the only protection your feet needs in the winter is from the cracked skin. You wear the smart winter boots {because the only time it won't silly is in the winters}, get your oversized sweater out {after you see all those Instagram women wearing one, you want to feel the winters too} and throw in a scarf, and in a few seconds switch on the AC to 20 degrees to save yourself from the winter discomfort {pu

Catwalks, fashion talks and meeting local designers, and stylists was such a great experience in the last two weeks spent at Fashion Forward Dubai and Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience (VFDE). This year's events had big guns like Miroslava Duma (Buro 24/7), Silvia Venturini Fendi (Creative Director Fendi), Imran Amed (BOF) and Huda Kattan (Huda Beauty) for fashion talks. Fendi's advice to new designers that ' you should not follow trends that don't belong to you ', was one of the key takeaways from her talks that I absolutely swear by when it comes to style too. Petite fashion power Miroslava Duma was most amazing, super friendly and down to earth. It was exciting to see her in person and she looks even better face-to-face. She shared her mantra to success "work hard and never give up" and although cliched I totally believe in it. I hate to confess, but until the Fashion Forward I had no idea about Huda. I did see her lashes at Sephora but wasn'

Let's face it, when it comes to shoe shopping, India is still miles behind and while Dubai boasts the world's biggest shoe store it still lacks the breath of collection and size options and very few options for vegans {Level Shoe District barely has vegan shoes}. For shoe aficionados this brings in excessive anxiety and trouble. Fear not shoe lovers. Fortunately we are a species of digital era where online shopping and international shipping are a reality. And yes, I mean we . Besides opening up a sea of shoe brands online shoe shopping is a far more pleasurable experience. Unlike physical shopping that can be physically and mentally exhausting you're able to shop the prettiest of shoes with the comfort of your home with just a few clicks. You can choose your permutation and combinations of colours, style, heel size and can instantly get a choice of thousands of shoes to pick from without the nosy sales reps or the need to hop from one store to the other tiring yourself.

I'm never a proponent of "leather goods". And I can smugly say that I'm far away from days when the word "Gucci", "Prada" or "Ferragamo" {no, not LV, I've never been the fan of this brand considering every hoity-toity woman walking the planet from 16-60 strutted in one of their ubiquitous monogrammed bags that made me nearly nauseated} would get my heart racing, and I would go to the moon and back to find that one purse that's not-leather and Gucci.That is not to say I still don't search them, but the reasons are quite different.  As we increasingly become glued to our iPhones checking the latest instagram feed featuring "it women" with their "it bags" and then flipping on the latest Vogue's publication on Zinio with eye-catching editorials and ads, the fleeting desire to own that new $5000 "it bag" or a blatant logo belt suddenly takes over our sensibility. But there is a darker side

After years of discomfort with the flat shoes, I finally gave in to my fear of wearing flats. Oh Ugly! Not kidding, the ugly shoe fever caught me and last week when I spotted this pair at the Charles and Keith store I couldn't resist buying them. It was more like summer bit me and the citrus hue was pleading - PLS BUY ME! The best thing I like about Charles and Keith brand is not only do they have stylish shoes and bags, but they are also vegan friendly. Most of their products are leather free, which is a big relief in this {in-compassionate} world of fashion. What's that one thing you're scared of wearing?

Months, its been literally months that I had my eyes on this gorgeous colour from Stella Falabella collection. Its no news that I am obsessed with Stella McCartney bags {with bags that look like these and come with a tag "Suitable for Vegetarians", who wouldn't?}. I was over the moon when I received this as a present delivered from Barcelona. What I love the most about this bag is that despite its size, it can stock in a lot of stuff and the colour makes it so versatile. It looks great with a dress, denims, shorts, an all black outfit, a monochrome outfit and even with a pop of colour. However, like my other Stella McCartney bag, the chain of this bag digs on your shoulder too and you can see the marks on your skin after you wear it. Plus, this bag is also very slouchy, so when you hang it - it loses its shape and looks weird. I think the slouchy Falabella overall is not a good style from Stella - no matter how great it looks. In fact, my other Stella McCar

Topshop White Shirt, Cotton On Striped Skirt, Steve Madden Shoes, H&M Hat and Charles and Keith Handbag Happy new start of the week peeps!! My week is starting off pretty awesome as the travel diary has started a new chapter. From Mumbai to this new destination (I am going all hush hush about it for now, you'll get to know soon), the summer sun is brimming in full rage, which means I can easily transition my full summer wardrobe to Fall. Yippie!! If you are on my Instagram you'd already know I spotted these vegan shoes at Steve Madden and although I was planning to get it in nude, the gorgeous tan was too hard to resist. How do you like them?  With shoes like that I couldn't think of anything but classics to go with it. So I paired a white button-down and a striped midi skirt and threw my recent love a floppy hat for a good measure. This bag is also a new addition to my wardrobe. With a transparent front, slide sling, and enough roo
