Piece Of Art

As I sat down to write about Pret-Amoda.com , I was wondering as to what should be the head line for this blog post. An online fashion portal? Or a fashion paradise? Or a fashion hub? Nah!! All are cliche. I was listening to this song by GAGA called, " THE FAME ", and was wondering, no matter people swear by being sober, still deep down in their gut, they have a dream of being FAMOUS!! Well by that I don't mean becoming a known actress, or an international celebrity. By being Famous, I mean being known among your masses, your family, your friends, your colony, your college, your cousins, etc. etc. etc. But how to be "Famous"? Well that is when PRET - FAME - AMODA .com steps in! This is not just another online fashion portal, but an inspiration guide for fashion enthusiasts, and a step for that FAME FAME makeover ;) This user friendly website, offering best designers like James Ferriera, Prashant Verma and Veruschka contributing to this site, ...

Well the WEDDING WEEK is on (although I really messed up the week) woops. But anyways, I wanted to bring up a post, where I will put my creative hat on, and provide you with 2 innovative ideas. Innovative ideas eh? Since wedding outfits are always the same. Kurtis, Lehengas or Sarees. And this mundane outfit ritual comes with a defined color code of pink, orange and red as well. I thought why not break this boring rule book, and spice up your outfits a little bit? I present to you 2 fusion outfits, which you can try on wearing this Wedding Season, and make those heads turn for sure. ;) This look is comfortable, for a tiredsome wedding day, sexy, colorful and innovative :D Instead of the statement neckpiece you can even go for gold coins South Indian style belt worked up around your waist. I have paired gold nailpolish, as it will make your hands absolutely stand out.  Keep the outfit summer friendly, and you won;t be worrying about the air conditioner not working. ;) Well...

As Barney from How I Met Your Mother says to SUIT UP, I thought why not turn a boring Suit into something of a fashion statement? ;) With a mix of grey, mint, fuchsia and emerald....I created this look : Sometimes breaking the monochrome and the obvious is fun....right? ;) What all I added? A Grey Plain Blazer (color suggested by Anika) Angelina Jolie's famous Raw Cut Emerald Earrings Classic Diane Von Furstanberg Nude Pumps My favorite Bottega Veneta Fuchsia Clutch I created custom made mint trousers with a darker waist region to make it stand out from the white shirt. So this is my way of SUITING UP!! What is yours? ;) P.s. your comments are precious to me...do not fret to say what's on your mind :D

I gave a basic monochrome ensemble to my Kalapalette Facebook girls and asked them to suggest...HOW TO COMPLETE THIS BASIC OUTFIT!! While Amrita Balaji suggested to add Yellow Color to this outfit, Pallavi Pande suggested "WIGS" I had a deep thought about it and  VOILA We had a QUIRKY TWIST OF MONOCHROME ENSEMBLE !! Wanna know what all I chose? Yellow Bib Necklace by KATE SPADE This statement piece is alone good enough to hold up an neutral outfit.It brings contrast to an ensemble, and I thought why not use it to make the monochrome dress more SPRING PERFECT? :D Purple Wig This electric addition to more crazy style statement is something which will really make many heads turn. ;) If you fear getting your hair colored, why not try one of these amazing wigs, to look fashionable, with something unique and a new hairstyle to try on ;) Yellow Studs The key to wearing a statement piece is adding minimalism accessories or no accessories, so I have added a very basic stud earrin...

The name TANGERINE has been derived from an adjective meaning "Of or pertaining to, or native of Tangier, a seaport in Morocco, on the Strait of Gibraltar" and "a native of Tangier." Zesty Tangerine as called in VOGUE .... This color surely is a head turner.This Summer Spring Collection has seen shades of Tangerine doing the rounds.This color not only makes a woman look ultra glamorous but also brings out the electric edge. Tangerine can dazzle up a monochrome or balance the 2nd current trend "NEONS" and still make a female shine high under the summer sun. So this week, I am dipping my fingers in color TANGERINE. This first post from the collection is my CUSTOM MADE OUTFIT SHOWCASING TANGERINE!! Since Peplum is HOT ITEM currently (will be in the coming series) I thought of giving an Orange Hue to it to bring out the vibrant plates. Second I teamed this OH-SO-VIBRANT Peplum skirt to a dark tone of Violet to balance the look, and highlight the skirt more. I ...

You talk about what is Hot right now in the fashion world?And you will hear "NEONS" and "GLITTER" While my last post has been a fusion of Neon and Pastel.I thought of bringing up GLITTER next ;) This week we are talking about glitter.LOTS OF GLITTER!! Earlier glitter was only for glamour.If you do it right you hit the jackpot.But if you did an overdose of glitter...it was FLASHY! But now, no more glitter is enough.Don't you think Kalapeeps? Well I thought of the same. But what a better way of presenting glitter than associating it someone who looks fab with oogles of glitter as well. I am talking about every lil girl's love "BARBIE" If you add the right amount of glitter you have the right OOMPH factor. ;) Just to give an neutral element to the starry look I started with a basic blouse. SILK CREPE BLOUSE From La Garcone Then I added some shimmer to this basic blouse with dash of glitter shorts Sequinned Shorts From Topshop To give contrast to your ...

Earlier only sophisticated color tones like Pastels used to be preferred when it came to fashion or dressing up.But now Fashion is a wild art, which can be in any shape, form and of course COLOR!!The hottest trend running presently is NEON ! While I come across atleast one piece of Neon merchandise, I thought why not create a fusion the scientific way? What happens when ACIDIC NEON fuses with BASIC PASTEL ? For you lovely peeps I have created 2 sets of ACID AND BASE = NEON AND PASTEL outfits.... 1.The tangy Electric Sunset Orange with Hint of Neon Green and the soothing element of JADE . 2.Hues of Acidic Neon Pink along with balancing and cooling effects of Fuchsia. So which one will you be going for? ;)

A very very veryyyyyyy MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THE LOVELY KALAPEEPS.A warm kudos to all. So sorry for the delay (again) for the *late* SUNDAY SURPRISE....but not to worry I have one more surprise lined up ;) Well like I mentioned before that this SUNDAY SURPRISE has theme of Christmas....but to make it more cute and merrier I have created a mix theme of : CHRISTMAS + MINNIE MOUSE Well since its christmas it's got to be RED!! To start with I have created a custom made Red Minnie Mouse Inspired Mini Dress with polka and red!! Well I thought christmas is always "CUTE" but why we shouldn't go with something "Ravishing" ;) So to team this up with, I just picked up one ornament which does not require any other collaboration : St. Erasmus Necklace Well he is the same guy who got famous when Michelle Obama wore his neck piece in a meet. Isn't that super cool? ^_^ Anyways to continue with the theme look.... I randomly searched the MINNIE HEADBAND These are super c...

I am so sorry that there has been a delay in my Sunday Surprise post...my illness is keeping me low for a while.But from sadness apart, here is a little treat for you all ;) Their are plenty of shapes and patterns we come across in almost anything and everything.This Sunday Surprise I thought of "GOING BACK TO BASICS AND EDGY" and by edgy....I really mean edgy!! So this Sunday Surprise THEME IS : TRIANGLES I have created a graphical look for the same below :  It took me a lot of time to put these pieces in together, sorry for amateur presentation, but this is the best I could create with my Migraine attack on :( Well, I took up a Salvatore Ferragamo's collection look and transformed the blazer into an EDGY TRIANGLE TREAT! Since nowdays the trend for Neon Shades is on, I added a very bright palette.Because I never present just one piece of item, I collaborated the look with 4 edgier items ;) 1. Triangle Leather Necklace by LEIF This neckpiece is really very edgy, simple to...

I had been so excited about my 1st post after my proper blog establishment.Was thinking what can be the best welcoming post?Well I thought why not bring two of my biggest inspirations together in SUNDAY SPECIAL post :) So I brewed up the fusion of the fashion inspiration of Millions AUDREY HEPBURN and art inspiration of Millions LEONARDO DA VINCI. I picked up a random Black Dress from GOOGLE and transformed it into a Audrey Hepburn style neck line : I also added the signature pearl and diamonds necklace to give the perfect Hepburn Look : Since I had to give a TADKA (Fusion) of the famous painter Da Vinci, I brushed up his very famous painting of Mona Lisa on the dress :  Well, no look is perfect if not paired with the right Footwear ;) For that I picked CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN'S BLACK PUMPS , which had a hint of Red which i turned into Gold color, to match with the golden skin color of Mona Lisa. To add more of Audrey fever, I added the look alike sunglasses she use...
