Hey everyone!
The holiday season is upon us finally, and 2017 is coming to an end. Well, I can't believe how quickly this year has passed yet how slow this month has been. This year has been rather a difficult one for me - as I saw a lot of ups and downs - personally and professionally.

But, the best part of living through the last month of each year is to look back at how things fared for you - where you got wrong, and what you can do to make the new year the best one ever. And that's why I can't just wait for this year to end, so that I can gear up for new beginnings, bigger goals and better things to happen.

Well, I wanted to pour down these thoughts, but coming back to this post - it was shot sometime in November - in the fashion hub of Delhi, Shahpur Jat. I have had this white shimmer skirt in my wardrobe since sometime, but never got a chance to wear it.


Most of us tend to keep shimmers and metallics for evenings or events, but I decided to wear it finally for a daytime look. I paired this Zara skirt with a lacy top and bralette from Forever 21 to compliment the silhouette of the skirt.


A white statement bag from GUESS and wedges from Charles & Keith finished this dressy look, while I accessorized it with a pair of sleek earrings, a beige Fossil watch and a floral Accessorize bracelet.

Wearing metallics in the day can be tricky, but if done right, it can make you stand out of the crowd in a good way. Make sure you balance your shimmer or sequin garment with neutrals and solids.

If you want to go metallic from head-to-toe, pick a delicately sequined maxi dress and pair it with a pair of booties. If sequined outfit sounds too much to try in day, go for a more comfortable look by pairing your monochrome outfit with a pair of sequined ballet flats or a shimmer scarf that can add instant oomph to your look.

Hey everyone!

Winter is finally here but I ain't saying goodbye to off-shoulder tops just yet. Well, off-the-shoulder tops have been my preferred style of dressy tops since long, but this season - I have been loving them all the more as a lot of brands have introduced this style with interesting sleeves to slay and minimal vibes.

That's why, when I saw this pretty wine-colored top from Ridress online, I couldn't stop myself from buying it. From it's schiffli embroidery to the flared sleeves - this top makes dressing up for parties and dinner outings a lot easier.

If you are also diggin' off-shoulder tops this season, here are a few tips to style them with ease :

• Pick a style you feel the most comfortable in, as you won't want to be caught pulling your top up every time you step out. If off-shoulder isn't your thing, go for a boat neck top or a top with thin straps that will give a cool yet comfortable look.

• You can pair your off-shoulder top with boyfriend jeans or jeggings as well for a day look; and add a pair of sneakers for a chic vibe.

• Make sure you have the right lingerie to wear underneath your off-shoulder top, or it can really spoil the entire look. Go for a strapless bra with no seams for a smooth look.

• For winters, you can also pick an off-shoulder sweater or a loose pullover that you can wear off one-shoulder for a trendy look. 

• You can also wear a trendy choker or neck piece to glam up your look; or wear dangler earrings that fall on your shoulders.

Hey lovelies!

Thought you couldn't pull off a lovely dress with sneakers? Well, think again! As this season it's all about styling your favorite dresses with trendy shoes or sneakers.
I am not talking about your heavy duty sports shoes, but stylish sneakers in neon colors or a pair of statement kicks that would take your outfit from dab to fab within seconds, and give you all the comfort with blister free feet too!

And last weekend when I was out to attend an event for which I had to be on my feet the entire day, I knew I couldn't step out wearing my favorite heels.

My new sneakers from Call It Spring came to my rescue as they are trendy yet very comfortable to wear for a casual outing. I paired my black skater dress from Forever New with these statement sneakers and was ready to rock the entire day.

Completing the look was my chic fringe bag from Forever 21 that added the much needed the color to my outfit.
Have a look at these pictures of the complete outfit :

These badass slip-ons are so comfortable that I can wear them to a clubbing night and they make sure that I won't slow down even until the sun comes up.

I know I will be flaunting sneakers a lot more from now on, especially when they are available in such cool designs.

Hey lovelies!
What do you do when while browsing your bestie's laptop on a lazy Sunday, you come across a disguised folder having pictures that you thought were accidentally deleted?
Well, firstly, try to kill her. And secondly, upload them on the blog - ASAP!

That's what happened today as I was just enjoying the Sunday with my bestie who also happens to be my photographer. This outfit dates back to a few months, and we both were under an impression that the pictures were accidentally deleted from her laptop.

But as luck would have it, I found them today while browsing (read : stalking
) her laptop. :D
And here I am, styling a trendy blue mesh dress from Sheinside.com with my chic River Island wedges, at the terrace of another bestie's house.

The striped blue dress is very figure-flattering and is perfect for a girls' day out or a lunch date. I styled it with my Forever 21 sunglasses, FOSSIL watch and a heart and wing necklace from Forever 21. I carried my Accessorize sling bag that perfectly compliments the dress.

Have a look at the now-discovered pictures :

Hey lovelies!

I am back with the first post of March. While writing this post I realized that its the first time that I haven't posted anything in the first half of any month. But well, what can I say, I have been feeling low lately and wanted a brief break from blogging.

It was the first day of Amazon India Fashion Week today and I felt really nice to be getting back to my schedule, meeting my blogger buddies and checking out some amazing shows from my favorite designers. While talking to a few friends, I realized how they have been missing my Shopping Haul posts. I do share all my hauls on Instagram regularly, but yes, I have been a little lazy when it comes to including them on the blog.

But I have decided, that from now on, while I post my hauls on Instagram, I will also update the same on the blog (Pakka Promise), so that all my lovely readers stay updated with the same too.

To start with, I am sharing my recent shopping hauls which I have already shared on Instagram. (Next time, I will be adding individual images with more details.)

L to R : Tank Top - Forever 21 Wedges - Forever 21 Milk Bag, Bracelet, Pendant - Accessorize Beige Heels - Charles & Keith Top and Black Pants - ZARA Rings, Necklace - Forever 21 Flats - H&M

This haul dates back two weeks, while I did shop again last week which I will share in a separate post. The Charles & Keith heels were a steal on 40% off and the Accessorize bag on 70% off while rest of the things I bought from the fresh merchandise.

NYX Matte cream lipsticks : Stockholm, Abu Dhabi, Antwerp, San Paulo, Amsterdam and Monte Carlo

 I love NYX matte cream lipcolors which have a long staying power and amazing formula that doesn't over-dry the lips. I recently bought these colors when they were back in stock at Sephora.

L to R : Skirt, Sweatshirt, Sweater and Tees - Chumbak Clutch - Claire's Necklace - Claire's

This haul dates back to last month when an End-of-season sale was going on at Chumbak and I managed to get all of the clothes at upto 50% off.

Foundation : Revlon Lipcolor : MAC High Drama Watch : Michael Kors Bag : Virtue Lady

This haul again dates back to a couple of weeks when I visited DLF Promenade with a friend and couldn't help buying this trendy clutch from a brand called Virtue Lady, Matte lipcolor from MAC and my swanky new watch from Michael Kors.

I have done a couple of more hauls in the last week from Aldo, Body Shop, Marks & Spencer and Loreal but I will share them in the next post. Let me know if you would like to see more of my shopping hauls on the blog or just on Instagram.

Love
