Bomber Jacket Trend

February 25, 2016

Bomber-Jacket-Trend-7Yes, the bomber jacket trend from 60’s and 70’s back you guys. And what a comeback it has made. Bright colors, blood graphics, patch work, embroidery, embellishments, floral prints, you it name it. It’s very evident that designers are having fun with this sporty retro style and that’s whats making this style so cool. My favorites are the one’s with embroidery on the back.
This trend was also one of the most spotted trends on the street during fashion week. I love it because it can make a simple t-shirt and jeans look super cool and funky. If you look back, the bomber jacket trend has popped up from time and again even during the nineties. I think it won’t be such a bad idea to invest in one right now. What say?

Chaotic Sequins – Ashish SS16

February 22, 2016

It’s the month of excitement, frenzy, chaos and fun in the fashion industry! With New York fashion week just wrapping up, y’all must be seeing pictures of collections, photo shoots and after parties on your social media feeds. I love fashion week times. What excites me the most is seeing designers come up with crazy ideas. More than the outfits and I’m excited to see the styling, use of patterns, colors, the show, the drama and the out of the box thinking that the designers bring in their collections.
One such collection that caught my eye this year is designer Ashish Gupta’s SS16 collection shown at London fashion week. This designer has truly taken sequins to another level. I love it! (check his models skateboarding on the runway). I thought it was pretty cool.

Dresses On Trend

January 26, 2016

Wearing dresses during winters can be tricky. Most of the times, I decide to wear one and pair it with stockings or leggings and then just end up wearing pants instead. But here are a few dresses on trend right now. Just found them while surfing and thought I would share with you guys. I would love to pair them up with some high boots and a trendy coat for cooler temperatures.
We still have some time for spring to kick in and to bring out those floral prints. For now I’m just digging the simple structures and solid colors of these dresses. Valentine’s day is just coming up and you could pair one these with your favorite accessories. I feel like the 70’s and 80’s trends are coming back. Shift dresses, neon, velvets, fringes, flares are popping everywhere. And what I’m loving the most is that even though the colors, graphics and styles are retro, they are blended with the simple and contemporary silhouettes on trend today.

Style Shoot – Lucid Lifestyle Store

January 20, 2016

Whenever I travel to a new city, which I have never been to before, I love exploring the streets and randomly checking out shops and places to eat without ‘googling’. A lot of times local joints can get skipped out unless you have someone local who is travelling with you. This time however, I have moved to Edmonton for a couple of months and got some time to explore the city on my own. Apparently, Edmonton had the world’s largest mall until 2005. However, this city also has a LOT of small business, artist and designers showcasing their talent in small outlets and boutiques.
Lucid Lifestyle is one such charming little clothing store on Whyte Avenue in the old strathcona district of the city. I got talking with the owner and we decided to do a fun style shoot to showcase the variety and styles they carry. Katryna Rae, a fellow blogger and friend, whom I met after coming here, agreed to model for us.

LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL1 LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL3 LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL4Somehow I end up wearing or keeping the pieces that I buy in boutiques more than the ones I buy from branded outlet chains. Maybe because they are one of a kind and feel like they have a personal touch.

LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL6 LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL5 LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL7 The collection is eclectic, light hearted, stylish and contemporary. You could find pieces for almost every occasion here. Whether it is smart work wear or outfit for a fun night out with friends, casual looks for a weekend brunch or a picnic with friends. There are tons of options to choose from, which you mix and match. They carry some fun accessories too. How cute is the orange bag in the pic above?

They also carry an extremely smart athletic wear.

LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL26 LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL27 LUCID-LIFESTYLE-APPAREL25 Shop online or definitely visit the store if you are in the city. Whyte Avenue also has a lot of restaurants and pubs and other shopping avenues worth checking out.

Fall Staples / Tights – Part 3

November 5, 2015

Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-1Hey there! Today it’s fall staples / tights – Part 3 of the style series. (See Part 1 & Part 2). There has been a lot of speculation over wearing tights in winter, are they out of fashion? Some say that they look old, out dated and matronly. Well, I have would have to disagree. I think I’m on the side of pro-tights team even today. In my opinion, I don’t think any fashion garment or accessory ever really goes out of style. I think it’s just the way you rethink pairing it with other items and styling it differently is what makes a difference.

Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-2 Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-3The same applies for tights. As soon as you put them on, your legs get a definition almost instantly and thighs feel celluloid free. The stretch, the fit, the sense of form and structure is just perfect. And somehow that shows in your attitude too. And I don’t think that feeling can be replaced with anything else. Tights are the perfect inner wear for winters and can be layered as per your choice. For me they will never go out of fashion. In fact, I feel wearing colored tights is even more fun. That was my main motivation behind creating this series of posts.

Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-5 Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-6 Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-7I hope you feel inspired to try them on to. Now’s the time to get those hosiery drawers filled and experiment with your looks. Have fun this fall and winter season.
