Those who follow the blog closely, know how I work my outfits around statement necklaces and gourmet rings. This obsession with accessorizing just got a lot bigger when I came across Just Jewellery, the brand behind some of the most ethereal jewellery and accessories. Their creations bring a whirlwind of a never-ending romance with jewellery.

Conceptualized by Sandhya Shah and Jasmine Shah, the brand works to bring together art, beauty, and exemplary design through everything they create. Infusing art into semi-precious stones and plated jadtar (Just Jewellery being the only brand in India to use black jadtar in their creations), and even customizing jewellery, are a few characteristics unique to Just Jewellery.

Just Jewellery is available in various cities across India and are also available internationally. To know more about the brand, and see more of their collection and to purchase, visit them here.

Pleats of happiness

Shirt: Freecultr.com

Skirt: Spring Break

Shoes: Zara

Bag: Online

Rings: Accessorize, Forever21

Necklace: XOXO Accessories

On my lips: Orange Flambe, Chambor

Today has gifted me with a rather momentous evening; I learnt, felt and perceived that no matter what ugly things friendship goes through, in the end, you always reconcile; if you don't, it's not the end. It's no wonder that Christmas indeed brings everything happy and Christmassy. Now all i want for Christmas is a cat. Oh, and maybe a dress to go with it.

Moving on to WIW (what i wore), while I have so many things to pair with this particular skirt, I knew it was going to be this nonchalant blue shirt, when I picked up this necklace. I'm funny sometimes, no? BUT!! No matter how much you focus on the outfit, it's often the accessorizing that gives a whole new manifestation to what you wear. Imagine this outfit with the necklace and without it?

P.S. everyone is aware of how the Delhi rape case has shook the entire nation. It would be a small yet significant move if you could sign a petition for capital punishment for the rapists (by going here), started by Malavika Mohanan of Pinkstruck fame.

The F.A.T. Bazaar: Exclusive blog coverage!

Recently a couple of days back, I visited Malaka Spice, one of Pune's most loved restaurants  tucked away in the quiet and ethereal surroundings of Koregaon Park. This particular visit was with a purpose; I was excited to visit the F.A.T. Bazaar held recently, by the lovely Mamta Gala. It hosted a phenomenal array of independent designers, which, to say the least, blew my mind. Let's speak with a few pictures :)

P.S. I visited the bazaar by the time it was sunset, so it's legit if you disliked the pictures. :(

Handcrafted bags by Lisa Pingale in a riot of colors. Loving the vibrant totes. Very Indianized, very inspiring.

Found a truckload of cute and quirky whatnots at some of the stores. I couldn't visit all, but I managed to click all that caught my eye! From scarves, coin purses, key rings and colored blazers, to clutches with large and bold prints and over-sized bags, everything looked so tempting, I couldn't have possibly focused on the food!

This beautiful 'dupatta' was one of the exquisite creations by Udd. They have a deluge of beautiful Sarees, skirts and other clothing in tribal inspired print.

This particular Pune-based designer Falguni Gokhale was probably my most favorite. I was smitten by her creativity. With no specific brand name, Falguni handcrafts everything purely out of hobby and love for art. If you follow my posts regularly, you would know that Malaka Spice also loves promoting art in the every form, apart from filling you with everything palatable.

Here, a beautiful trinket box, and statement jewelry that she designs on her own. Masterpieces? Yes.

Kiwi accessories were loaded with the prettiest bangles and arm candies! They had a great selection of handmade stationery for all quirk-lovers.

Shraddha  Karamchandani's Drop Dead Gorgeous was one fashionable stall! Loved the statement jewelry, bags and accessories on display.

Lively Wood and Bhoole Bisre really swept me with their quirky and out-of-the-world collectibles and home decor items. Eyeing something?

Bechain Nagri is this amazing brand with the cutest notebooks ever. It is beyond me how they come up with so much humor just through their notebooks.

Designerds had their stall loaded with bags in all shapes and sizes. While some had a vintage feel, others were contemporary and quirky. Loved their collection and I'm definitely picking some things up from them!

Did you visit the bazaar?

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.

Neon statement necklace : Blur

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
