Runway to Reality #1

No one can deny the stylistic genius that is Queen B....Blair Waldorf is pretty much a style icon on the upper east side !!!!
Elements of Blair's Style
Sporting layers upon layers of ribbons, frills, bows, lace, 
Clean cut pencil skirts with blouses,
Sleek sheath dresses,
Sharp trench coats
Structured Purses
Mixing patterns...

Loose curls,
Soft naturally pretty palette of taupe eyeshadows,
Faint peach blush
 And berry lips.
.
This is  just my general understanding of her style & my interpretation of Blair's look.



About this Look
Blair's go-to look is high-waisted shorts paired with an airy feminine blouse.
She is always about showing off a slim ladylike figure.
 The high-waisted shorts shows off her small waist while the blouse lends some flair.
This look is all about looking chic while still retaining a delicate feminine feel.

MAC Peacocky Collection 2011 (with swatches)

MAC cosmetics newest collection, peacocky, hit shelves (Excited ?)
(Yus, supposedly winter 2011 arrives India in summer'11 *cringe* )
 It's obviously inspired by the gorgeous and fierce colors of one of nature's most magnificent birds *peacocks* (designated as the National Bird of India )

Two new releases
Mega Metal Eyeshadows, a step up the usual MAC eyeshadows when it comes to pigmentation, texture, and even the size of the pan (they're larger).
Another new release is the Kissable Lipcolor, a gloss-cum-lipstick that will impress you with the pigmentation! It's as good as liquid lipstick and comes in bigger tubes.

Mint Green

Mint green and turquoise happen to be my other favorite colors too (off recently)
I know alot of you girls love it too :)
Way in the past .. like rewind a good 3-4 years I never considered these colors for a garment of clothing
Lately I realised, 'ey r surprisingly versatile and so refreshing on the eyes.
(Mint chocolates and ice creams are yumm umm nomm too )
So why not inco-orporate the color mint green into your outfit and treat yours as well as other ppl eyes :P

Of course that was easier said than done because to actually find a lovely mint green clothing was and still is so damn hard.
Yus, I don't have much of this color in my wardrobe, just a top or a skirt here and there and ofcourse accessories, nail lacquer..they are easier to grab/find (Hunt for a perfect dress continues)
But anywayyyy...
Have a look at this mini creation of mine and please your eyes :)





Leave your feedbacks (where can i find more of this color ?)
Stay Precious

Vests - My Top Picks :)

Vests or cropped jacket are a staple and a must have for your wardrobe in my opinion (hands up if u agree :P)

They immediately vamp up both your casual/relaxed as well as formal apparel ..(What more can a girl ask for ?)

Lazy mornings ..not in the perfect mood to dress up (yus yus ..happens to all of us)..No big deal
Throw on a cute floral or sequined vest with a simple tank/cami and a drastic change ..Trust me !!!
They perk up your look in the blink of an eye.

Sequin, silk, velvet ,lace, denim, runway style, rock'r-chic, bohemian, flirty/romantic, classy ..be it any..they are definately going to make your outfit stand out.

Enough of the rambling (O.o don't wanna bugg yu' all)
Drop a glimpse on these

                                                                    Casual and girly
                                                                        Romantic (lace)
                                                                            Edgyyy


                                                            Dressy (Girls night out :p )

                                                               Embellished chiffon vest  
                                                                                                       
                                                                Sequined tailored jacket

Fuschia Fusion :)

Pink !!!!!!!So I'm not trying to portray a stereotype image here ..
But the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s ..since then it has been referred as a *girly color*  (Personally I feel  men can pull off the color pink just as good as us women)

There is alot to this color pink ..
Its called the 'Color of Love'

Feet of a new born,
Lips of a sweet little angel,
Born with the pink and grows with the pink ,
Pink pearls and candies,
And in the kiss of a dear ....

So anyway ..I pondered ..why had i never included this color in any of my previous posts ??
Strange ..my love for it is an understatement :p
I dedicate this outfit of the day ** post to the color pink ..
Rise and Shine beauties ..yu' all will fall in love with this color too :P
