High-Street Trends Online? Not in India, Baby!

Time for some not-so-random rant J

Like most of you, I love finding jaw-dropping eye-popping deals online. Stuff that makes me go “You won’tbelieve how much I got this for!” in front of others.

But the rarest thing is finding high-street trends on the Indian sites. Because they give you none!(yeah, except for maybe 1 or 2 websites that come slightly close to the category but not enough for me to be talking about them)

We’re all exposed to the hot 'off-the-runway’more or less affordable versions in the offline space (ZARAs and MANGOs of theworld), why not have an online brand for us Indians that can serve the same purpose minus the offline overheads?

Like I mentioned, I keep myself updated with who’s selling what and bookmark my favorites. Here are some online brands I'm digging for their affordability and merchandise

Studded Tee at Love culture for $16 (approx. INR 850)

Geometric Print Jeans at GoJane for $34 (approx. INR 1800)

Tribal print crop top at Gojane for $15 (approx. INR 800)

Suede Peep-toes at Gojane for $27 (approx. INR 1450)

Sequined Jumper at Miss Guided for 26 Euros (approx. INR 1800) 

Lace Peplum Dress at Boohoo for 26 Euros (approx. INR 1800)

Aztec Neon Necklace at The Quiet Riot for $4 (INR 215)

I’d love to have a website giving me these at the same prices within India. After all, no sane soul will pay more than double the amount for shipping from these sites to India.

Is anyone listening?

Lace-ism

It's not just confined to racy lingerie. Lace is now about sophistication and feminity. It will dress you up but never dress you down.
Everyone's wearing it !
Its a sexy trend no doubt but isn't there a thing called too much lace?

There you go..Thats too much lace.

Jessica Alba at Chanel Haute Couture Fashion show. Lace dress with Black Lace Loubs. But she manages to look beautiful so WTH.

Kristen Stewart at Kids Choice awards 2012
Not crushing on the shade of blue but works for her!

And more recently, Sonakshi Sinha in a Shantanu and Nikhil dress.
J'adore!

And the following is my humble take on lace

Pleats + Lace+Three quarter sleeves= Exactly my idea of a lace dress

                 

I was surprised at how quickly i found something so close to what i wanted.

                                                                       Wearing:

                                                                    Dress- Mango

                                                       Necklace/Shoes- Forever21

                                                             Clutch- Accessorize

                                                                     Belt- Pieces

                                                                   Bracelet- Gifted

                                                   On my lips: Ambika pillai- Flame

                                  Time to bring in The Fashion Nazi

      Lacy things that should disappear from the face of earth:

NO it's not classy. It's just impossible for any one to pull off these ugly-ass piece of clothing.
Unless, ofcourse, you're going to a strip club.
Um. Wait.
No. Not even then.

That's all for now
