Signature Pune Style Week: Part One

The last weekend was charged with fashion, and haute couture from eminent designers was the reason. Monapali, Nitya Singh, Rocky S, AD Singh, Mumtaz Khan and Riyaz Gangji were some of the designers showcasing their creations at the Signature Pune Style Week held at Hyatt Regency, Pune. 
Although I couldn't attend all (that's totally my bad luck considering I stay 10 minutes away from Hyatt), I did get lucky enough to catch some of the amazing collections being showcased at the Signature PSW. The first show I could watch was AD Singh, who is well-known for bridal couture and his unfettered infatuation with Swarovski crystals. And I was easily enamoured by his collection. Personally I loved how beautifully he used his obsession with Swarovski. Favorited!!

Are you summer-ready?

Summer's all about bold, extravagant hues; vivid florals, neon nails, flouncy hats and vintage bling. Here are 7 random summer essentials to get you started for the season!

#1: BRIGHT LIPSTICK It's the cardinal rule of summer makeup. A lipstick fanatic like me is virtually crippled without bright lips this summer. Say hello to bold pinks, oranges and pretty neutrals, and kiss burgundies and maroons goodbye. And embrace matte lipsticks, like these truly AMAZING matte versions by NYX, for long-lasting and summery colors.

Fatal red, hazardous blue.

Tank: Splash

Pants: Spring Break (old)

Shoes: Zara

Bag: ASOS

Necklace: Pretty Young Thing

Rings: Forever 21, Blur 

This reckless blue pair of pants have been sitting pretty in my closet since forever. I don't often get the right occasion to flaunt a bold pair of high waist pants, but when I do, it has to mostly be this one. High waist pants / trousers have been around since longer than i can remember; printed ones add even more spunk to the look. High-waist-anything lends you the illusion of tallness and makes you look slimmer. You can add to the illusion with an edgy pair of heels. P.S. I see myself wearing those heels everywhere!

While you can team these up with over-sized tops and fierce shirts, you can also tone down the drama with basic tees and tanks. Add interesting colors, invent combinations, play with accessories. Summer's here, make the most of it! (Although I've already started to loathe the summer sun. NEED the winter chill back. Now.)
