Collar neckpiece

My friend Supraja bought this really nice gold collar neckpiece from Lokhandwala and teamed it with her blue dress from Ginger. I think it looks brilliant! What about you?

Because sometimes you just have to wear a saree

The other day, my friend Supraja and I decided to go on a saree date. And it was loads of fun!
Don't you think the saree is one of the best looking piece of clothing ever made for a woman? I don't think anyone can look bad in a saree.

I wore a simple chiffon saree with crystals on it from Nalli with a men's watch from Titan which had a bit of a rusty look and simple turquoise earrings from Accessorize. Teamed it with nude heels and orange nail paint. Nude lipstick and kohl rimmed eyes completed my look.
My friend wore a simple but colorful and bright printed cotton silk saree in brown and green with pretty sea green earrings from Westside. She wore simple chappals and had kohl rimmed eyes.

Time to get the pallu.

Rock Chic

This Christmas I treated myself to a pair of Miss Sixty black leather ballerina flats with silver studs. I love that they add an edge to even a very simple outfit.

Gossip Girl: Memorable Outfits-Part 3

With the series finale of Gossip Girl airing yesterday it seemed fitting to do the final post on the memorable outfits in Gossip Girl. The older posts are available here: Part 1, Part 2

Season 5:

Episode 08 ("All the pretty sources")

Blake Lively wore a Mary Katrantzou dress spring 2011. I like that the look is edgier than what we usually see her in. Mary Katrantzou is known for her prints and it is not easy carrying them but Blake is totally rocking it. Her necklace is from Auden and rings are from Roberto Coin and Lulu Frost.

Episode 9 ("Rhodes to Perdition")

Blake Lively shimmered in a Diane Von Furstenberg gown with a gold statement necklace. Her hair is very different from what we usually see her in. I like the styling of Blake better than that of the model. I also liked the cream Boyod dress with gold peacock feathers worn by Kaylee DeFer.

Episode 11 ("The End of the Affair?")

Leighton Meester looked lovely in the white Vera Wang Spring 2011 Gisele dress. You can read the article behind the conceptualisation of this beautiful dress here.

Episode 13 ("G.G")

It was the episode with Blair and Louis wedding. Leighton looked gorgeous in her Vera Wang Fall 2010 Chantilly lace Esther gown but her hair looked a bit too casual for a bride. Blake Lively also looked gorgeous as the maid of honor in her nude Vera Wang Spring 2011 gown.

Episode 19 ("It Girl, Interrupted")

Leighton Meester wore this princess style Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 gown. The scene on the museum steps with this gorgeous pink ruffeled gown was so romantic.

Episode 21 ("Despicable B")

Leighton Meester wore a gorgeous Elie Saab Fall 2011 black gown with a statement necklace and berry lips. I love the look from head to toe.

Season 6

Episode 5 ("Monsterous Ball")

Both Blake Lively and Leighton Meester looked great in this episode. Blake Lively wore a lovely black Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 gown and carried a Roger Vivier clutch. I love the fishtail braid with the gown it gives that "Serena" touch to the whole look. Leighton wore a Reem Acra Fall 2011 gown. I love the sequins on the gown though I would have liked it better if she had worn just the earrings and no headband.

Episode 10 (""New York, I Love You XOXO"")

Now to the Gossip Girl finale. I am so glad the styling team of Gossip Girl went all out in this episode. Leighton Meester looked stunning in the Elie Saab Spring 2012 gown she wore for her wedding. I love the leafy jewelled head band. This is one of her best looks of the entire season. I also loved that it matched perfectly with Chuck, he wore a white suit with blue lapels and blue bow tie. And Serena also looked awesome "5 years later" in her Georges Chakra Spring 2011 gown. I am so glad the stylists din't opt for conventional wedding gowns for this episode.

Made to Fly

So, being the blind person that I am, I pay a lot of attention to eyewear. I need to buy something that won't make me look like too much of a nerd.
So, I went ahead and bought my first Ray- Bans. I went with the classic aviators. I did have a moment of indecision when it came to choosing between the aviators and the wayfarers. But then, I decided to go with the classic.

So, go on, get those aviators since you know you can never be kept down.
