As Simple As It Gets

It's complicated, but it doesn't have to be.

This is what I think everytime I'm in a fashion fix. The fix arises mostly when I can't decide what to wear or whether what I'm wearing goes with the occasion or not.

Have you spent ages trying on different outfits and still not feeling sure of what you've picked out is the best for that day? I used to, too.

Lately, I've started reverting to simplicity in all forms and considering that I'm a Punju (Punjabi, yeah true blue North Delhi-ite), it is a big darn deal since sho-shaa (Showing-off) is our said forte. Maybe it's just a no-fuss mood. I will go back to my authentic punjabi self in sometime :)

I mean, nothing against the OTT style icons that defy everything Simple. Specially Lady Gaga, The lady's got swagger! But Isn't that entertainment instead of fashion OR maybe these two terms co-exist?
Questions. Questions. Questions

Gah! 

Imagine if this happened: 

Remember I was whining in one of my previous posts' about How there's not one good purely online fashion retail brand in India? Looks like someone was listening :) 

Just recently, I heard of bhane. It's basically the online venture of Shahi exports, the popular Indian export house. There are a couple of things I like about bhane. foremost being the strong branding. The essence of which, for them, is simplicity. Evident perfectly in their Interface, merchandise and styling. Also, extremely impressive customer service! Now let's just hope that wasn't a one-time wonde *fingers crossed*

Sure it's not everything that I was looking for but it's good start.

Just a peek into what I bought and How I wore it:

Jumper: Kazo, Jeans: Bhane, Shoes: Forever21, Bag: Forever New

Sprucing up this simple post with a little Quirky

Guess we all need a small dose of fun with fashion :)

New Beginnings + OOTD

Hello World!
It's a refreshing New Year. Instead of making resolutions (because obviously I failed to follow the ones I made last year), I'm leaving behind the bad juju- from some wrong decisions, regrets, mistakes in 2012 and starting on clean slate. I'm excited about all the new opportunities and adventure that i'm going to see and be a part of! I'm currently multi-tasking a lot, doing things that I enjoy, studying what I like so there's no reason to be unhappy :)
If all this gleaming and rainbows-butterflies talk is making you nauseous, I'll stop.

Do you have any idea how cold is it in Delhi? This is the city of extremities, both in terms of people and weather (You know what I'm talking about when I say 'people' of Delhi, unless you've been living under a rock)
And to give you a fair idea of the weather, here's a picture of two poor street chums Changu-Mangu we've been taking care of lately.

December was much more than just cold, lazy afternoons and naps. Here's what I wore on Christmas:

Dress: Forever21

          Leggings: GK M Block Market

        Coat: Local Boutique

        Shoes: Carlton London
Earrings: Splash

Santa Cap and Red Braided Hairband: Party Hunterz

 Love,

Tanya

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
