Hey lovelies!
Spring is my favourite time of the year. After being bundled up all winter in monochrome styles and layers of clothing, spring allows me to embrace the amazing weather with flowy silhouettes, bright colors and feminine prints.
It's the start of summer already, so I thought its the perfect time to do a recap to my favourite Spring looks of 2019. Below are three of my favourite looks of last season (that some of you might have seen already on my Instagram account) - so browse through if you are also2 on a hunt for statement wardrobe pieces this year :
Loving Them Culottes
I have these culottes in my wardrobe since sometime now but I have finally found a confidence to style them in many different ways. And I loved how it looked with this chic off-shoulder top that was actually a part of a co-ords set.
I plan to wear these culottes all around the summer, paired with different tees, as these are one of the most comfortable pants in my wardrobe.
Wrap It Up
Floral prints and spring are made for each other, and when mixed with a feminine silhouette - it makes for a perfect statement making outfit, just like this wrap-around dress from Shein. The bright and bold floral print makes the dress more chic and perfect for a romantic day out or a brunch with your BFFs.
Skirtin' Around
Skirts have always been my first love, and I never miss a chance to buy a trendy skirt and when I saw this season's hottest trend - a brown suede skirt - I knew I had to have it in my wardrobe.
While a skirt like this might look difficult to pull off at first, there are many cute ways to style this skirt all around the year.
While I paired my skirt with a striped tee, you can also pair it with a sequinned blouse or a denim shirt for a trendy look.
So, which of these outfits is your favourite? I know I have not been blogging very actively this year, but I definitely plan to start writing more often - share my latest outfits, hauls and other tips & tricks in the coming posts.

Spring Lookbook Recap | TSD Outfit Diaries
Monday, 29 April 2019
Hey lovelies!
So I have a kinda on-and-off relationship with jumpsuits. Ask me why? Well, because first - I love these one-piece wonders which are the best thing to wear on days you don't want to worry about pairing up wardrobe separates. Secondly, no matter how comfy and chic jumpsuits look, not all jumpsuits go well on every body type.
So, it is a tough task to find a decent jumpsuit, especially when you are curvy, that not only fits you well at all the right places but is also dressy (not making you look like you stepped out in your pyjamas).
However, when I saw this glamorous black number at Vero Moda few months back - I was surprised - because not only it is the most comfortable jumpsuit I picked, but also because it also fit my bestie (who is very skinny) very well. So, we both ended up picking the same jumpsuit and thought of endless ways we could style it.
And this jumpsuit's first outing with me was for an evening party recently.
To break the monotony of the outfit, I styled it with a chunky waistbelt and statement earrings - both from H&M. My favorite H&M sandals were once again a savior, as they looked great with this jumpsuit too - and you would see me wearing these a lot often.
I am also loving my Speedy 30 as not only it's versatile and looks great with every outfit, but it is also spacious enough to carry along all my esssentials - whether I am going for work or a dinner with friends.

There are many other ways to work up a dressy jumpsuit on a curvy figure :
- Firstly, make sure the jumpsuit fits you well. It doesn't matter if it is body-hugging or a slouchy one like mine, if it fits perfectly - you can make your look polished in many ways.
- Cinch your waist with a trendy belt to define your figure.
- Go monochromatic - Wearing a monotone from head to toe will make you look slimmer and stand out in a good way.
- Pair it with a blazer to add up a layer that will make the jumpsuit more subtle.
- If you're going for a wide leg jumpsuit, make sure you finish your look with a pair of heels to make you look taller and leaner.

#500 : TSD is Now 500 Blog Posts Old | Completing 6 Years of Blogging and a Big Thank You
Friday, 30 June 2017
Hey lovelies!
Today is a special day! Well, it's not any festival or event, but it ofcourse holds a special place in my life. Well it's because not only I complete 6 years of blogging this month, but, I also reach a milestone ie. completing 500 posts on this blog that I have nurtured like a baby.
I haven't been writing as often as I was till last year, and haven't shared any heartfelt post since a long time. So I thought the 500th post was a perfect time to share my thoughts with my readers and everyone who has supported me throughout my blogging journey of 6 years.
Recently, I was ranked 4th among Top 100 Indian Fashion Bloggers by Feedspot which also feels amazing, and makes me feel that I am going on a right path.
There have been times that I have felt demotivated or disheartened about not giving more time to the blog, but achievements like these push me to keep writing and engaging you all with the content that you have liked for years.
This blog had started out as a hobby for me during my MBA summer internship back in 2011, and I had never thought I would be able to make it big and reach so far. Even my family and friends had thought that I would get over this hobby soon, but the satisfaction of seeing those blog hits increasing day by day made me confident and I decided to take my passion seriously.
That's when I decided to invest on the blog, by first purchasing a DSLR camera and slowly investing into key wardrobe pieces that are still an important part of my OOTD posts.
While it's difficult to name just a few of my favorite posts on the blog so far, the Curvy Style Guide series is really close to my heart - as I started this Lookbook series to break the stereotype that curvy girls can't be stylish. I believe if you have the confidence and know your body type well, there's nothing that would stop you from looking your best. I have gained and lost weight so many times in the last 6 years of blogging, but what has been constant is my love for fashion and this OOTD series.
Apart from my full-time digital marketing job, I have also kept my love for blogging alive and I try to devote as much time as possible to the blog. To start writing more often, I have decided to make few lifestyle choices so that I can be inspired to write regularly.
I have also thought many a times to take up blogging full-time, but I believe I am still learning and there's lot more to achieve before I decide to take up blogging as a full-time profession.
For now, I am happy with these small achievements and brand associations that I get to be a part of time-to-time.
Here's hoping for another wonderful year of blogging and growing! Keep reading and keep supporting my blog like always.
Love

Hey lovelies!
It's a lovely weekend and I finally have the time for myself, to work on the blog and share my latest fashion picks. I also made a big luxury purchase last week which I am really dying to share with you all in the coming posts.
But in today's post, I am just sharing my new found-love : this pastel H&M tulle skirt which is a classic wardrobe choice with endless possibilities to style.
Now, tulle skirts have been famous since ages, but Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City made a tutu the it-skirt that all the fashionistas had to have in their wardrobes.
She not only rocked these skirts with confidence but also gave us endless ways to style them, no matter what the occasion is.
I earlier styled one of my mini tutu skirts for the India Fashion Week couple of years back in this post . So, when I saw this beautiful pastel skirt in the H&M store few weeks back, I knew this is going to my summer favorite for all those lunch dates with my BFFs.
I dressed up my skirt with this tropical print off-shoulder top from Vero Moda which perfectly blends with the pastel tone of the skirt. I completed the look with my Charles & Keith sling bag and wedges in monotones to add a minimalist touch to the look.
Keeping the accessories bare minimum as always, I just picked my favorite pearl choker from Pipa & Bella , dangler earrings, bracelets from Aldo and an animal-print Michael Kors watch.

If you are are also looking to try out a tulle skirt this summer, but confused about the ways to style it up, here are a few tips that would help you out pick the perfect outfit :
- Go for pastel hues when picking a tulle skirt as look perfect on every body type and can be styled easily.
- Play up the skirt with feminine details like a statement choker neckpiece or strappy heels.
- Pair your skirt with a flannel shirt for a cool street style or pair it with a turtle-neck top for a dressy look.
- Many curvy women believe that they won't look good in a tulle skirt for its layered look, but don't under-estimate the power of a trendy and chic tulle skirt. Check out brands like ZARA, H&M and Vero Moda for those feminine and versatile skirts that would fit you the best.

OOTD : Of Pastels, Tulle and Twirls - Curvy Style Guide
Saturday, 13 May 2017
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 :
Well, while writing this post I realized how less frequently I have been blogging these days. But I have started a new job recently and was also busy with my brother's wedding which was fixed and held last month.
So, I have a loads of pictures to share of my outfits for the wedding as well which I will publish shortly. Do let me know your views on this outfit in the Comments below!
