Trend Obsessions : Top 5

So I got my favorite 5 trends compiled for you guys. In random order of course. There's no way I could rank them. What's your take?

Trend obsession #1 : Geometric

Geometric accessories and prints have been popular since quite some time now, and are one of the biggest trends this fashion season. Incorporate this trend through accessories and jewelry or play bold with geometric print and cut-out detail. This trend works beautifully even for formal wear, so put it to full use while it's there for you to relish.

Geometric necklace, ring : Blur

Trend obsession #2 : Neon

Almost everything that's neon is going to make you outfit shoot "watch me!". In a good way of course. If you're not in the bold mood, create the neon vibe through hints of neon. Use flashy nail colors, statement rings with splashes of neon, or get bolder with a neon skirt or pumps. Whatever you do, do NOT over do the trend. Wear neon with subdued tones or neutral colors like tan and gray to balance your outfit and pop those colors.

Trend obsession #3 : Studs

Studs are the number one way to perk up your outfit. This is the way to go, if your personal style is more chic than girly. Pair studs with pearls to soften your look. Recently spotted some beautiful studded shirts at Zara too, so that's where you could hunt them down.

Studded clutch, bangles : Assorted, hand painted

Trend obsession #4 : Snakeskin print

Snakeskin print, personally speaking, is one of my favorite trends. Available at affordable prices (see asos.com) and in a riot of colors, pick what suits you and your outfits best. Styled classy or casual, you can have it your way with these beauties. At least I do!

Purple-pink clutch : Splash

Green-Blue envelope clutch : Asos

Trend obsession #5 : Animal / Galaxy prints

If there was anything creating massive obsession for me, it's got to be galaxy prints and bird prints. Mix these prints together with florals, polka dots, even maybe with each other. Paired with neon or studs, these are double on the hotness meter. Romwe and 8teen Style Boulevard have an splendid collection in galaxy prints and bird prints. 

Swallow print blouses : Splash

Galaxy print top : Chemistry

What are your top favorites?

Notoriously heeled.

For this post, I moved to a rather strong look. Almost androgynous, with the broad-shouldered pussy-bow shirt. The rest of the outfit wanted to balance itself, and therefore remained feminine. 

** Blooper timee! **

 

Outfit : Splash, French Connection

Clutch : Splash

Rings : Forever21

Heels : Zara

Earrings (not visible) : Accessorize

We all know this one someone to whom we'd want to say "For the love of God, let's not discuss fashion." 

No. Just don't.

It's so annoying piteous to see someone flaunt their bland sense of style, while you meekly try to convince them about a color blocked or asymmetric dress they disliked, and therefore fail without even trying. Oh come on. The very thought of not being able to share the feeling for a beautiful sequined dress or a neon blazer is SO painfully disturbing.

Doesn't everyone know this one amusing, fashionable person who isn't really one? Haha. ;)

Hey! YES, sometimes I do have little things like these to rant about!

And I'm currently finding the electric blue Zara pair dangerously addictive.

What's your newest shoe fetish?

Feline instincts

I was wanting to do a fun, perky outfit for a while and thought leopard prints would make a great choice. I realized that leopard prints are one of the most versatile choices one could ever go for. Pair them with hot pink, electric blue, dull grey or even black or white. Even stripes. They're just not going to let you down. I love pairing red and gold together, and with pops of cobalt blue now and then, it just had to be perfect fun.

Oh yes, these adorable, happy, quacking ducks had to be a part of the pictures. How merrily do they enjoy the waters? Talk about leisure time.

This one's almost a blooper. But hey, don't we all have those moments? Also, the sun decided to play hide and seek. Too bad we decided to shoot.

Yes kitty, you match our little theme.

A lot of color-blocking this time do we see?

Oh and also, I'm getting a huge top-to-bottom makeover for my organizers. Cannot wait to share the pictures! ^_^

What's everyone up to over the weekend?

Randomness Captured.

Pink. Overwhelmingly powerful, dangerously pretty.

A lot of perky pink in my closet huh?

Contrast. The grey stone-hard road, the soft saffron petals.

Colour blocking much? A stretch of flowers over a valley.

This bling fetish is going to one day devour me like a kid eating cake.

Unfathomable attraction. Evening at the beach. Not the best idea when i need to get home early.

Vacation. Mildly tanned feet and snakeskin print shoes.

Gifts from Rajasthan. I always accept gifts. :)

Btw, the rains are finally here! Can't wear my favourite shoes, can't shoot much, but hey, the weather's doing everything to take my mind off that!

Talk cloudy to me.

Today, like the past few days, has been the typical calm and cloudy monsoon-ish day Pune experiences in June. Those are the days when you love being in your own sweet frivolous world. And I love the weather inspiring my outfits. :)

Although the outfit remained very understated and quiet, I needed pops of colour here and there. My orange sling and old rings served the purpose well. And then there's Nyx Matte lip cream. Yay to that :D

I did not realize that navy blue and gray could make a fun combination, whoa. Talk about discoveries.

Now don't we love the clash of orange with turquoise.

Outfit : Assorted, French Connection, Qatar

Rings : Splash, Hong Kong Lane, Pune

Glass bead necklace : Rajasthan

Showers! Pune misses you and hates the sweltering heat. Just saying.

Arm Candy Pinata

Peek-a-boo into some of my favorite arm candies! Let's go :D

Orange Sling / Clutch : Jabong.com

When i'm feeling all happy and colorful. I reach out for all the colors in my wardrobe. And of course this is definitely one of the pets i'm carrying with me. See, ain't it so happy to be first on the list :D

Cobalt blue sling : AND

Cobalt blue has always been this very tempting, distracting color for me. Anything cobalt and worth buying tempts me like nothing else. (Did someone say shoes?!)

Snake print cuff : Splash

A black snake print cuff is minimalist, chic and noticeable all rolled into one bundle. One of my most reached-out-for cuff.

Deep Purple Clutch : Accessorize

I really hate how the camera doesn't capture the pretty purple. It's such a pampered favorite, it breaks my heart to watch it look like dark chocolate in pictures. *rant rant*

Assorted Beads : Qatar, Hong Kong Lane, DIY

I'm not into a lot of bracelets, but when I am, it needs to be a delight. Beads in romantic pinks, pearl whites, fun yellows and fun blues, work with simple, understated outfits like a dream.

This boho style beaded cuff's not as easy-peasy an accessory to pull off. There have been more times when i wore it and took it off, than i actually wore it. Nevertheless, it's one bold happy arm candy :D

Floral Sling : ASOS

When i'm in this fun girly mood, there's nothing better than florals to make it work. Love mixing it with chevron prints, galaxy prints and stripes :D

Coin Purse, Dragonfly pendant : Accessorize

Surprise from the Arm Candy pinata :P This was so heartrendingly cute that i'll admit i like to think it's a part of arm candy. ;)

Assorted Bangles : All That Glam, others are gifts from Rajasthan

Love how these bangles play beautifully with fuchsia. Or most other bright colors for that matter. And of course, love the studs beyond compare. Another fool-proof way to bring change the focus of the outfit.

Can Mr. Leopard from Forever21 be a part of the arm candy too? He loves pinata.
