PRET - "FAME" - AMODA.com

Image
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, ...

Crabtree and Evelyn Heaven!

Image
While wandering the high street of DLF Select City Saket, I was taken over to a shop in one corner, which to me seemed like yet another unknown cosmetics brand. But when I entered the premises, I thought I had entered paradise.I was in Crabtree and Evelyn Store, DLF Select City, Saket. Well, to be pretty honest, I had never heard about this brand, until now. I was awestruck by the soothing color splashes on delicately crafted collection, the infusion of thousands of perfumes, all providing a deep spa transit for my nostrils, and when I actually tried their hand care range, I was in love with my hands. (Like love at first sight) :p What the company says ? Founded in 1972 by Cyrus Harvey, Crabtree & Evelyn has evolved from a small, family-run business – specializing in fine soaps from around the world – to an international company, well known and respected for its original fragrances, luxurious toiletries, gourmet foods - and gifts for those...

I was talking to a fellow fashion enthusiast, and the topic came up that Wedding Season is round the corner. Loads of vibrant colors, jewels, glitter and glamour. So an idea crashed my mind to celebrate WEDDING SPECIAL WEEK. After a succesful Tangerine Week .

I gave a basic monochrome ensemble to my Kalapalette Facebook girls and asked them to suggest...HOW TO COMPLETE THIS BASIC OUTFIT!!

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...

WEEK 1 : TANGERINE TANGO - "Custom made outFIT"

Image
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 ...
