POTD #20: His Sweater + Your Boots = Winter Chic!

A lot of girls I know LOVE to donne a borrowed-from-the-boys look. In fact, like I mentioned in my article for FilterCopy, girls who have an older brother, mastered the androgynous fashion pretty early in life. So why not, here's how you can play with androgyny-

Sweater: Borrowed

Eyeshadow: Revlon Colorstay™ 16-Hour Eye Shadow - Romantic (Palette)

Eye pencil: Revlon Colorstay™ Eye Liner - Black

Lipstick: 27 Spellbound by Street Wear

Denims: Kraus Jeans

Boots: Carvela by Kurt Geiger

What's your style? How do you like to style your borrowed/stolen (LOL) sweater? Let me know in the comments below or tweet me @enigmagnetic

Until next time,

POTD #19: North Meets South

So, recently, a cousin of mine, who's a Punjabi, tied the knot with the love of her life. He happens to be mallu. And I thought, what a lovely thing love is...it does not see caste, religion, nationality or race. Love does not see any of those differences. Love, only sees love.

I thought, why not celebrate this confluence of two cultures by dressing up, blending together the style sensibilities of both cultures. Now, since it was going to be a typical mallu wedding, I decided that I wear the traditional saree.

To bring in the Punjabi influence, I decided to tie up my hair into a rope braid (a favorite amongst most Punjabis I know). And the rest was just the cosmopolitan self kicking in.

POTD #16 - Ease up!

Hello again,

The last few days have been like a furnace outside and I'm sure none of us are going to be sporting any synthetics until nature sprinkles some winter charm on us. Until then, we're going to stay comfortable in our easy breezy cottons and voiles, which are bang on! But, whites and lemons? They're so passé, and have got me looking for some colourspiration. Here's what I found-

Tunic and Pants: Cottonworld
Shoes: Crocs

I love, love, love the green and navy combination. This one's perfect for that extra bit of zing to work wear.

Style tip- Love to layer? Throw in an off white crochet shrug and a charmed bracelet to fancify your look.

So, how would you beat the heat? Do share your style, would love to see!

Until next time,

POTD # 14 - Dancing Around Pink

Hey all,

This idea came to me while I was wondering what nail art to pick for the week. I just decided to go through my nail colour collection and take a call accordingly. I felt like pink, but not too much. So I decided to paint a nail in a particular shade of pink and the rest in similar tones of brown and lilac. Here's how it turned out-

So set a trend, playing with different tones around a particular shade of colour, or opt for monotone, going from lightest shade on the thumb to darkest on the little finger.

Until next time!

POTD # 13 - Floating in Blue

Hey all,

Today's POTD is a monotone look I spotted last evening. This lady sure knows how pull off casual chic! The blue on blue adds a certain flow to the overall look while the strappy wedges add a spark of glam. And to finish the look, she had light blue liner on!

Top: Vero Moda
Denims: Diesel
Wedges: Vögele

Until next time!

POTD #7- Feeling ChristMissy?

Finally, it's Christmas eve! For today's POTD, I thought of picking something that sings with the spirit, and still, is not in-your-face Christmassy!
Red, white and green are the colours of this beautiful festive season. We'd normally team the whites with pastels or the greens with metallics to add that holiday spirit. But for a change, why not team up a green or a red with black for a cold, dark, winter feel (no cold, dark winters for us Mumbaikars :( )

During this season, I personally like the former (with some shimmer), but here's a no-accessories, cold, dark winter look that I absolutely LOVE!

Would love to see your Christmas eve looks as well! Share a pic and tag @Fashnnotesbydee on Twitter, or post a comment below! ;)

Until next time!
