Retro Drama ft. Shades of Summer








Ola beauties! First of all, Thankyou so much for appreciating my write-ups and style tips. Every word of appreciation means a lot to me.

Some time back I watched an old Bollywood flick where-in the leading lady wore an off-shoulder style outfit that is highly trending these days. Fashion recycles are quite common. From bell-bottoms to bell-sleeves, winged eyeliners, off-shoulders and much more, the current market is flooded with styles inspired from the 1970s and 1980s.  I wanted to try out a retro look since a long time. Truly, old is gold!

 ‘Shades of Summer’ is a brand owned by four innovative young girls. Their collection is highly varied with a wide range of colours, fabrics and styles. Quite contrasting to the brand name, they have outfits for all seasons! With such variety, you’re sure to come across something that appeals to you. To add some retro-trend to my wardrobe, I picked up a bell-sleeved dress having bold prints in contrasting colours.

Bold printed outfits should be styled very carefully. To avoid looking too loud, your accessories should be minimal and neutral. Given the high neck, I added a long layered pearl necklace. I teamed the outfit with light brown tussel slippers to keep the look casual and trendy. A neutral coloured headscarf was added to complete the 1970s feel. And of course, winged eyeliner and red lipstick!

Alternatively, you can create a formal look with this outfit. Team it up with pearl or diamond studs, black chunky heels and hair tied-up in a ponytail or a knot. You can also create a highly funky look with this outfit by adding a red head scarf and red heels. One outfit can be carried off at different occasions by styling it differently.
Innovation is an essential ingredient of styling. A fixed, rigid kind of wardrobe will always give you monotonous looks. In order to look different, you must break-free from your pre-decided combinations of outfits and accessories and try out new combinations.

So all you beautiful people, get creative and look your best!
Happy Styling!!

Love,
Bhavs

Diary Of A Single Girl

 Wednesday, 2nd March, 2022 It's already the third month of an eventful year! While entering 2022 with a sleepy head at home I didn't have the slightest idea what beautiful surprises were coming up, or well, the wonderful opportunities that I would be creating for myself. Today, as I sit under the morning sunshine on a cold sunny day in the Himalayas, the last sixty days of my life bring a feeling of exhilaration- the bliss of learning and rising higher. The tides of life can be much to handle at times. But it's supposed to be that way, else how would we find a better version of ourselves? In Search Of.... We're all searching for something- from materialistic possessions to true love and above all, a happy life. Well for me, my short-term goals were clear- beaches and snow....lolz...yes the travel bug. And why did I want these? Because they were a part of my ultimate goal of having a beautiful collection of memories of life. Goa February is a month that makes most singl

I Am Precious

“It’s always the right time to start being yourself…for in the chaotic journey of life, there is nothing more Precious than your real Essence” These are the days of podcasts and audio-visual content. But I find it liberating to write/ type down my thoughts. Hence this blog will always be special to me…after all, it was a Birthday Gift to myself in 2016! Talking about gifts, the idea of self-gifting always clicks to me. I see it as an essential routine of self-love and self-care, leading me to perceive myself as a special person (without being a narcissist). Losing Oneself in the Journey We all play different roles at each stage of life. Starting off with being a good kid, an ideal student, the perfect partner, the right employee or a successful entrepreneur, the best parent….too many expectations! Most of these roles involve other people and groups. And while these different set-ups can nurture absolutely well, being a part of groups can be taxing on one’s real self. The other

Rejected!

 So, Rejected? And... Feeling dejected? I  don't like these words but this rhyme fits well. Welcome to the world of non-acceptance! Rejections, no matter how insignificant, are usually painful. When I brought up this topic with my Instafam through individual discussions, there was one common thing for most: Rejection= Mind Chaos Hey wait, did you just remember one of your rejection moments? Please hold on, I gotta share some of my experiences first :) So here are some selected episodes from my kitty of rejections (all are real) I was once rejected at a matrimonial meet because I had not applied makeup. The incident dates back to my pre-blogging days. It was a formal family meeting with a fair-skinned Sindhi lawyer from Mumbai. And while his aunt enjoyed intellectual discussions with me, the guy and his mom were super disappointed with my simple salwar suit and 'no make-up' face. A short conversation with the Gucci guy reminded me of the character Suhaas from the movie 3 idi
