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,

Wedding Wear Trendpick from Diwali

It's been over a week now, but I'm still not over the festival of sparkle, fairy lights and fashion. Diwali left us with some cool trends we could now use to stand out during the wedding season.

Trend #1: Blue and White + Silver

We've seen it on toile de jouy fabric, and willow patterned and wedgewood china crockery. And don't we just love the striking contrast between the two colors? This wedding season, add in chunky silver jewellery from your granny's closet and go desi chic with the blue and white trend.

Style tip- With the shade of blue, don't stick to the standard ;)

Trend #2: Spicy Red

Red is bold. Red is beautiful. Whatever you wear for your yaar ki shaadi, don't forget to glam up with a dash of red!

Style tip- The norm is to paint your lips bold, but try on the color on accessories for a change. ;)

Trend #3: Simmer in Shimmer

Diwali has always been the festival of all things sparkly and blingy. Big fat Indian weddings are not far behind, and to add to it the current season. It's the perfect time to go get your shimmery clothes, shoes and accessories out from the closet.

Style tip- Don't go too loud on shimmer just yet. Combine your colored solids with little shimmery pieces in gold, silver or pastels. :)

Trend #4: Go Royal

But don't go overboard. Make your look elegant and rich-looking, but definitely not over-the-top. In fact, if you want to do royal right, think minimalistic but classy, with statement pieces. Go in for polkis, kundan or even pearls to really nail it.

Style tip- Let your jewellery do the talking. Opt for a plain saree with a broad border, a statement ring and earrings, and you're good to go! :)

Trend #5: Ditch the Dupatta

I'm all in for a no-fuss look, especially at weddings. Here's a little inspiration for a dupatta-less ensemble.

Style tip- An embroidered shrug/bolero. A shimmery crop top. A lehenga. And that's how you do drop dread gorgeous! ;)

That's all for now. 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!
