Hey lovelies!
Haven't we all gone through days, when we pick a trendy outfit from our favourite store, and get dressed one fine day in it and step out in style, only to be pointed out by someone - hey! Don't you think this outfit doesn't suit your body type???

Well, believe me or not - not only me but a lot of my skinny friends have also faced criticism on their outfit choices and it really baffles me. Why can't we appreciate our fellow women? Why do we have to really judge their outfit choices?

So, that's why I started the Curvy Style Guide series on my blog a few years back to share certain trends and styles that usually people advise curvy divas to 'not to wear'. But I think if you pick your outfits carefully, there's no trend that you can't flaunt with confidence.

In today's post, I am sharing one such trend - front-zip skirt - that even though considered to be too risqué, is a great pick to flaunt your curves. I picked this trendy skirt from ZARA which features an exposed front zipper and a striped waistband.



The best part about this skirt is that it can be styled from work to party easily, with just the change of a top and accessories. I styled my zip-up skirt for a party look, paired with a white bare shoulder top from Forever New and ankle strap wedges from Nine West. Completing my party look beautifully was this trendy sling bag from Michael Kors - which is my go-to bag these days for parties and dinner dates.

Have a look at more pictures from the look below -

The key to styling a front-zip skirt is to pick a style which is fun but not too flashy, and don't go overboard with too many zippers. While wearing a similar skirt, make sure you are not wearing any other exposed zippers - or you will end up looking trashy.


Zippers can help contour your body, so go for a style that connects at the centre (like mine) as it will make you appear thinner.

You'll also find skirts which have zipper pull tabs on both ends, so you can wear it multiple ways by going for a custom split as per your mood or the occasion.


So,  have you tried the exposed zipper trend yet? If yes, let me know how you like to style yours in Comments below.

Hey Lovelies!

Today, I am penning down not just for you to read but to run fast and grab some amazing offers at Pacific Mall. Recently I visited Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden to meet one of my friends and likewise she was again late, but as you guys know, waiting at Shopping Mall is not that difficult for a girl especially when she is a shopaholic like me.


 I was roaming around and clicking some pictures at the Atrium of the mall which had a huge replica of “Statue of Liberty” standing straight and it was something unseen in Delhi. I was already amazed by the beauty and grandness of the Statue and suddenly I encountered a board of Sale which made me excited and forget every other thing.

And what else a Shopaholic can demand for? I immediately steeped inside my constant Brand Zara which gives me the most desirable fit and also offers vast range of collection. From there I shopped a formal check Blazer and amazing trousers and a pair of shoe to uplift my attire.


And while I reached at the billing counter, a Salesman told me about the ongoing offer in the mall, he said if one could manage to buy worth of Rs 15,000 from anywhere in the Mall he/she can get a chance to win couple trip to Europe and the offer could be availed till December 31st. Then I decided to check out every new store opened in the Mall and there are some 18 new stores in the Mall…Oh wow!!

By the time my friend also arrived and both of us visited every store in the Mall and actually managed to shop more than Rs 15,000. Though discounts & offers were running everywhere but still the collections at the stores were not giving a feel of end of season sale. So, we actually decided not to shop for ourselves only but to shop for family and friends as Christmas and New Year is right at the corner and nevertheless it is the perfect time to surprise and pamper your loved ones.

We got a beautiful piece of chandelier from Home Décor and I bought some toys for my nephew from Hamleys to gift on Christmas. And a beautiful Saree for my mom from Meena Bazar is foremost the best present I could get for her.

Coming back to my shopping list, I shopped from many stores but some of my shortlisted Favorite ones are:-

• GAP – Positioned on the ground floor, the new store features an entry spanning the width of the store which eliminates a window facade. This allows you to see directly into the store and engage with the product quickly.

The range features ‘Feel Good Jeans’, and as well as denim and leggings in an array of colors and prints.

• Vero Moda –Elegance and Modernity could be well defined at Vero Moda. The new exclusive collection was oh so breathtaking; I got 2 dresses from the store which have become my new favorites. And if you want to check out my love for Vero Moda, go through my Lookbook and you will find numerous looks that I styled using the great outfits the brand offers.

Go and check out the best ones now and add something nice to your wardrobe!!

• ALDO –  ALDO positioned on the ground floor in the Mall can never disappoint you, extensive range and smooth leather base hand bags with iconic designs can also make your college going casuals little more stylish; while they also have the best boots in town to beat the chill this season.

• Forever New – Collection in Forever New can make you go crazy and when the store has some amazing winter collection, it is undoubtedly a cherry on the cake. I will suggest if your Christmas and New Year’s shopping is still not done, you should not skip shopping from the brand.

• MAC – If you follow me on Instagram regularly, you would have known it now that my favorite make up brand ever is MAC, which is the world leader in color cosmetics with an exclusive high quality range. 

And as a Blogger, I believe to use something which has huge range of advanced and professional products and wants to suggest the same. I don’t want to suggest anything which could affect your skin in anyway. So, I will suggest you to visit MAC once and get the best make up for you.

I would call it an unplanned perfect day!! ☺☺☺
Hope you also visit Pacific Mall Tagore Garden soon and shop to your heart's content! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hey lovelies!
The holiday/party season is upon us finally! And I am sure, you all would be sorting out looks for Christmas and New Year Eve already.

Well if you haven't found your perfect outfit yet, I have got some amazing tips and outfit inspiration on how to get an edgy and unique look this season by mixing different textures.

While this look dates back to the Fashion Week and kept lying in my blog drafts, I believed now is the right time to share the pictures plus more deets on how to get a similar look.

Silk tops are the must-haves this winter as luxe wardrobe additions and a perfect style will definitely elevate your style this season. The best part is that silk can be dressed up or down in many ways, depending upon the mood or occasion.

And when it came to dressing up for a stylish evening with the best fashionistas in town, I decided to style my embellished silk shirt from Sue Mue with a lace pencil skirt and a gold belt for a balanced yet trendy appeal.

If you are also a fan of silk, and want to opt for a dressy yet different look this holiday season - you can also style a silk shirt or top in many ways to achieve the right look.

For a casual day-out with your BFFs, pair a classy silk shirt with your favorite jeans or leggings and add a pair of sky-high pumps to add some casual-edge to your style. If you've got a silk blouse in a gorgeous jewel tone or with intricate work or embellishments like mine, pair it with a pencil skirt or layer over a shift dress for an unmatched style.

Don't forget to accessorize your look with complimenting jewellery and a statement bag for a model off-duty style.


What's your go-to party outfit this holiday season? Let me know in Comments below!

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 :

Dress : Forever New Sneakers : Call it Spring Bag : Forever 21 Watch : FOSSIL Bracelets : Accessorize On my lips : MAC VIVA Glam Rihanna 2

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!
If you have been following my blog closely, you must be aware that I visit Select CITYWALK in Delhi often and even most of my outfits are shot at this place. Almost every weekend I visit Select CITYWALK , a premium Shopping Destination in Delhi and do most of my shopping there.
It's also my go-to place whenever I wish to hang out with my friends, have a sumptuous meal or when I am simply bored and want to chill with a cup of Starbucks coffee.

Today, I will be covering my 5 Favorite Apparel brands present at Select CITYWALK where I shop often :

•  ZARA - My shopping trips are never complete without visiting the ZARA show room in Select CITYWALK which I am sure is every fashion lover's favorite apparel brand. One of the largest international fashion brands, ZARA offers an extensive range of clothes, shoes and apparel and has become a renowned name with almost no advertising. 

Hola chicas!
It's a weekend again.. finally.. I will be going out today with my friends and will try getting some outfit pictures. Meanwhile, I am posting the pictures of an outfit I wore to an event last Saturday. It was a Cosmopolitan Makeup Masterclass for various bloggers, held at Bobbi Brown, Select City Walk, Delhi. We were given tips on how to cover up Under-eye dark circles, and how to get the perfect Smokey Eye in minutes, by Eduardo Ferreira, one of their top MUAs.
I couldn't click much pictures of the event, but it was really a fun and interactive class. I also tried Bobbi Brown lipsticks and mascara, which surely have a great quality and staying power.

I wore a leopard print Peplum top by Forever 21 with my distressed denims from Forever New. I completed the outfit with a pair of Done by None studded heels, and matching studded bag.
Have a look at the pictures :
