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,

Summerpick #3: La La Lavie!

I recently got a chance to collaborate with Lavie for their SS15 collection. In keeping with the season, the collection boasts of bags in vibrant colors, available in a variety of shapes and sizes. My pick? This lovely yellow sling that goes oh-so-perfectly well with just about any outfit!

Color-block your way to create a playful-yet-chic ensemble or spruce up an all white look. I took a slightly different, experimental route while styling three looks that go with this beautiful bag. Read on.

The Theme: Photosynthesis

Look 1: X x Y
My first look is inspired from the synthesis bit, putting together all-out girly elements with hints of androgyny.

Look 2: Chlorophyllacious
Here's a look that celebrates the whole process of light passing through and conversion into energy for survival.

Look 3: Full Bloom
The third and last look is all about the outcome of photosynthesis...the creation of this bundlof energy, on which, live thrives.

I hope you guys liked these looks. More summer picks coming up soon.

Until next time!

Brunch Look: A Subtle Sunday

Yay, Sunday is almost here! It's the one day off that we all look forward to, and even more during winters when waking up is such a task. Sunday mornings, how we all just love them. Easy start to the day, breakfast is a rarity. Sundays call for brunch! And a fancy one with your friends, why not?

Today's post is in celebration of just that, the brunch! To me, brunch is synonymous with everything easy, laid back and dreamy. I'd dress up for it (if at all, because I'd really enjoy my brunch at home, in my PJs) in something chic and effortless. Think washed out pastels, pearls...everything subtle, dainty and feminine.

Dress: Max Fashion
Cardigan: Bought from a market in Delhi
Sunglasses: Vision Express
Floral bracelet: Bought at the Thailand Trade Exhibition 2012, World Trade Centre
Shoes: Blueland

Fashion tips:
- If your dress has a collar, why not show it off? Take cue from what I've done here - buttoned the cardigan under the collar.
- While I've taken the common route, wearing the belt over the cardigan instead of under, adds to the silhouette, like it does here.
- ALWAYS go in for dewy makeup with such looks, opt for anything between pink and peach for your lips and cheeks (optional). Add to that a single stroke of liner or simply pep up your lashes and you're good to go!

That's all for now, until next time!

POTD #17 - Indulging in Blue & White

Ever since Diwali, I'm obsessed with the blue and white combo. It brings a fresh perspective to ethnic wear, and goes well on western wear and semi-formals too.

Liner by Maybelline - EYE STUDIO® LASTING DRAMA™ Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black
Lip color by L'Oréal Paris - Colour Riche Intense Lipstick in Hot Chocolate

Earrings by Deepika Gandhi - +91 9820114400

Ring: Swarovski

Until next time!

Valentine's Day Countdown # 5 - Movie Date

Hey all,

The mushiest week of the year is here. Are you ready to play along?

Today's date pick - Casual, movie date

Avoid going all-out girly on this one! Pick a denim and shirt combo instead and glam it up a bit with some girly danglers or a mascara-and-puckered lips combo.

Here's a look that fits the bill!

Model is wearing-
Flats and accessories- Colaba Causeway
Pants- Pepe Jeans
Scarf and Shirt- export surplus

Smile is priceless! (We LOVE smiling models, don't we?

Model: @Nishevita

Ape this look

Pair your basic dark toned denims and shirt with a scarf in checks (get a Levi's from Flipkart at a 40% off!) and flats (Lemon and Pepper at 65% off on the Shopper's Stop website!).

Until next time!

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!

This one you've GOT to get a copy of, ladies!

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!

Fashion transition

So we've crossed the peak of summer and the season of romance has culminated into a couple of not-so-pleasant, sweaty weeks before winter finally takes over. How I love winters in Mumbai! I know, I know, the winters here aren't knee-high-boots-friendly, but nevermind about that!

Getting back to the transitional months, there's always fashion to help us get through the slow drifting of weather ;) Dresses, anyone?

So here's a look that caught my attention, and I think it's a perfect October do! The dress is short, fuss-free and accessories, full of summery frolic! Plus the dark blue brings in the (soon-to-come) winter tone ;) I absolutely LOVE it!

Dress, Nuon.
Watch, Titan Raga.
Nail Lacquer, Bouganvilla by Dolce & Gabbana.
Charmed bracelet, Aldo accessories.
Lip colour, Givenchy.
Floral wedges, Inc. 5.
Liner, Lakmé.

Stay tuned for more!

Until next time!
