Today's pick: Tribal Aztec Shorts

I am loving my new tribal shorts,was looking for one, from a long time and spotted this at Globus

Tribal pieces can be mixed with another print but i paired it with a red colour cut out top. Styled it with a multi coloured flat shoe and neck piece keeping rest of my outfit simple to avoid overload.

Tribal prints pair better when they don't match. Hope you get a perfect blend and complete your look with a bright colour sling bag and high heels if its a slim fit pant.

Plaid It Right!

Plaid is a must have this fall. You can not get enough of these Plaid/Tartan pattern. They are so very much in fashion, they always were. What was once a classic pattern for shirts and menswear, can now be found on anything from dresses and pants to shoes and accessories.

                                                          Take your pick..

Plaid Dress: Dress it up. It is cute,comfy and stylish. U may style it with a pair of dark leggings. Wrap a belt around your waist,put on a coat, finish it off with a fashionable heeled boots or pencil heel.
    Found a 2 years old picture of mine in a plaid dress, paired with black legging n kitten heel,should have gone for a pointed one ;)



Plaid Jackets: Dump those regular solid colour jackets this winter and look what is missing in your wardrobe. Yeah, its the Plaid Jacket. Plaid is sure to raise some eyebrows-make sure it is for the right reasons. Pair it with a black shirt/tee and casual pants or skirt.

Plaid Ankle Pants/Skinny Plaid: Follow the plaid trend with a plaid ankle pant or a skinny pant. For a business-casual or elegant weekend look a pair of ankle length plaid pants work well. Go for solid coloured shirt/tee, and a simple Blazer and avoid pairing it with other prints. Other patterns will clash causing your outfit to look confused. High heels and a bucket/hobo or sling bang will complete the look.

Head-to-toe Plaid: Let it be head-to-toe plaid this fall. You can't say no to Plaid jumpsuit. The jumpsuit is my go-to in summers. They transfer easily from season to season and make getting dressed fairly a simple event. In winters you can style a head-to-toe plaid jumpsuit with a blazer. And don't forget to heel it ;)

Are you 'all ears'??

Hear me cuff ..
Ear speaks..Yes they really do..its the ear cuffs!!

They may be trending among all for a while now but these ear embellishments have been part of Indian jewellery for centuries. Ear cuffs have now been given a modern tweak but are inspired by Kanauti and tribal ear wraps.They come in all shapes and sizes, from giant and elaborate, to small and dainty.


                       If you are unsure about wearing them start experimenting with a small pair.





No matter which way you fancy your accessories, you can incorporate ear cuffs into your wardrobe. They are more fun than normal earrings and can really dress up an outfit. If you are going to wear more intricate looking ear cuff, don't wear other earring or necklace. You will end up taking away from what is supposed to be a statement piece.


                                                 Different looks you can choose from this festive season 


Ethnic look: You can rock a lovely pair of ear cuffs even with a sari. Don't go heavy with other accessories on the top, but yes a cocktail ring and dramatic eye make up will complete the look. Do go light on the lips.



Casual look :  Embrace this bold yet chic piece of adornment. This connected earring encircling the whole ear should be teamed with right kind of apparel. Stick to a minimalist look, they are statement jewellery, let the focus be on them alone. For a more classic look don'y forget to pair it with the heels.





Cocktail look: Live up to a fashionista image, team the evening gowns with ear cuffs and you will look nothing less than a stunning seductress. Dark-gothic eye make up,ultra-long lashes, high-raise bun and complete the look with a higher than high heels and a clutch to match.



 The one piece of advice i'll give you: ensure it's fastened firmly to your lobe else a cuff in your cocktail simply won't do..

You can easily buy them online, few sites to list from are Amazon.in, Koovs.com, Voylla.com, Snapdeal.com and ofcourse there are many other shopping sites. So find the perfect cuff for yourself in an easy way.
