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?

All things beautiful.

What is it that grips us when we see something beautiful. Something inside us turns and twists, our hands itch to feel them, hold them, posses them. Funny how we work hard to earn every single penny that we do (well, atleast most of us) and it takes just a couple of minutes, a glance and we give in to the temptation of owning it. We convince ourselves that we need it, but who are we kidding? We tell ourselves well this and some of those and that is totally worth it. But hey *smirks*

What will you be wearing this Spring/Summer?!

Don't you all just adore Spring/Summer season..

Well.. if you're a Delhiite (like me), you might say NO!
It gets crazily hott and sweaty. But Why should any of that stop you from getting dressed to your best? I say.. nothing should :)
Infact I love this season..I think that's because:
1. I dont sweat like a pig.
2. I love bright colors.
Now.. I don't mean you can't wear bright colors in Autmn/Winter..But let's face it. You dont see as much colors and prints in Winters as you do in summers. Winters are inherently Gloomy and dull (I mostly see only blues, blacks and greys around me)

So. Here's my little Closet-Wishlist for this season

1. Maxi dresses are going to be Big this season and why not..They give you such a flowy, Breezy look. Not to forget all the various prints and colors you see them in, oh-so-summery! :)

This one's from Forever 21, I'm not a big fan of paisley but i really like it on this one! The color and neckline as well!





2. We all love short dresses and what better than ruffled short dresses. I love the back of this dress, its so girly and will definitely keep you cool! :)

This dress is from ZARA! Tell me if you've seen it in the stores already?






3. Rompers are Short, rather loosely fitted one peices. A perfect summer outfit i think..and they look so cute and playful!

This one's from Forever 21 too ( no doubt its my favorite store :P )
It has a sweetheart neckline which gives this romper a flirty look ;)








4. I'm all for floral prints this summer.. be it tunics, dresses or flats!

This tunic is from the latest Vero Moda collection. I have quite a few floral tunics so i could do without another one but i found this one just too pretty.

Now, this pair of sequined floral flats is something I've been looking for since last summer :\
and i couldn't find a single pair like the one above. I know bellies are not the best footwear for summer but i'm biased towards them.
The pair above is from Forever 21. Let me know if you see a nice pair like these somewhere around :)



5. Colour blocking is a great way to play with colors on dresses.. So this one's on my wishlist too.

Check out the sexy back of this one..Yeaaaah! ( usher style ;) )





6. Last but not the least... these beautiful Blue wedges. I have a similar one in black but this pair of plaited blue wedges from ZARA wins Hands down!! If only they were a little cheaper. :(
