It's a 'Bro'gue Thing

I'm totally obsessed with Brogues, Oxfords and unconventional, menswear inspired shoes. I tend to pair them with almost everything. And believe it or not they've never looked any more trendier when paired with feminine outfits! It gives an unexpected, chic and effortless twist to your look. You really should go out and snag a pair or two if you want your outfits to stand out from the usual sea of stilettos! So today i wore a white mesh sleeves top, a black leather skirt, nude brogues, black envelope clutch bag and cat eye sunglasses (Love!).

Too lazy to be girly

Rainy days are here! There's something about em' that make us  wanna snuggle in bed with a warm cup of coffee and a book with some Lana Del Rey music playing on loop. Cliché. I know. But glorious! So, when it stopped raining for a day, I took the opportunity to have some outfit photos clicked. The lazy girl that I am during these days (everyone is!) I went for a simple, no fuss outfit. I wore a silk olive green collarless blouse, zip leggings, black slipons, a black envelope clutch bag and gave my casual  outfit a chic vibe with blue mirrored aviators. You can find outfit details below and can shop my look inside.

Monochrome Muse

I've always been vocal about my love for monochrome. You know, that line... Its black and white and spells chic all over. Yep. So today I wore a gorgeous geometric print monochrome button down. I paired it with my favorite pair of jeans, classic peep toe ankle booties and a Chanel boy bag. A printed button down shirt and jeans combo never fails. Cuffing the jeans at the ankle and wearing a pair of heels gives a chic vibe to an otherwise casual look. Wear this look to a brunch, a shopping trip with your girlfriends or even travelling. Its practical, no nonsense, classic yet so trendy.

Mulberry, the loved designer brand opened it's stand alone store at The Dubai Mall recently and celebrated the opening with a launch event at the store which was attended by many fashion enthusiasts in town.

Our very own fashion icon, Kate Moss has returned to her designer duties and has designed a 46 piece spring/summer 2014 collection for Topshop after a gap of 4 years. It's a highly anticipated collection which oozes "Kate Moss" all over! The collection is divided into 4 parts: 

Balearic Islands (Moss's favorite summer destination) inspired pieces like smock dresses and laidback kaftans, Pyjama inspired dressing with silk/satin pieces and pyjama style jackets, Cocktail Hour dressing with intricately embroidered, beaded and fringed dresses and jackets and Tailoring Noir with menswear inspired pieces. 

This collection caters to all types of fashion sensibilities and aesthetics. I, personally love this collection. And what's not to love! Kate has worked hard for it and has paid a lot of attention to detailing, fabric, design, silhouette and cuts. 

Read on to catch a preview of some of my favorite pieces from the collection:

Don't we all looove the white tee + blue jeans combo? Yup! That's a classic and a truly timeless trend that'll never go out of style. Ever. Today's outfit post is all about that. Since, spring/summer is finally here, I chose to go the lace route with a gorgeous white New Look lace top. My trusty Diesel jeans and my favorite pair of Michael Kors high top sneakers and classic aviators completed my minimal look. Ideal for a warm day. The pictures were shot at the picturesque historical place called Mandav. Ah, India and ancient palaces go together like white tee and blue jeans ;)

Pair them with a button down blouse or shirt and a well fitted blazer for a polished and fashion forward look. So go snag a pair because they are here to stay. And also because skinny jeans are too mainstream now!
