Fall Staples / Colored Tights – Part1

October 15, 2015

Fall Staples Colored Tights Part1-1Fall is one of my favorite season’s to dress up. It’s not too cold to cover up with coats but enough to layer up and show off those scarves, hats, pull-overs, cardigans, boots and more. One of my favorite things to wear are colored tights. I think it’s such a fun way of transitioning from your summer wardrobe while still being able to incorporate those bright vibrant colors. I have seen a lot of people wear mostly black or darker tones of tights mostly because they go with the general fall color palette of dark earthy tones like maroons, browns and mustards. And sometimes also because we have the notion that ‘black goes with everything’ which is true but mixing it up with a little color can be fun too.
Fall Staples / Colored Tights – Part1 is the first of a 3 part series of outfit colors and styles that you could pair with colored tights. starting with BLUE!

Fall Staples Colored Tights Part1-3This shade of turquoise blue is such a fun color and be paired with dresses with geometric graphics or bright floral prints. I have paired it up with two different shoes here. All metallic colors would go with this blue or you could even pair it with similar shade of wedges.Continue Reading

New Hair Color

August 30, 2015

New_Hair_ColorJust tried this cinnamon brown shade new hair color from wella over the weekend and I’am loving it! It’s always been difficult to choose a hair color which would go well with my dark hair. But I really like this one. I read somewhere that you should always match the hair color to the color hues found in your eyes. But I really don’t know how much of that is true. A lot of websites give you shade options depending on the type of skin you have too.
Experimenting with my hair is something I’ve always been open to. Some how I just feel if something goes wrong you could re-color it or even chop it off. And if that goes wrong too, you know its gonna grow back, right?. I mean I would anytime choose coloring my hair purple as opposed to getting a tattoo. That is bit scary to me since I don’t think I’m ready for that kind of commitment as yet. Maybe someday I will. But seriously for those of you who really want to get new hair color or highlights or streaks with a bit bolder color choices, go ahead and do it. And to all my friends who have asked me this before, yes it does dry out your hair a bit but if you condition them properly, you are good to go. Just use the right shampoos, conditioners and serums out there which are specially made to take care of colored hair.
Until next time…
xx,
varsha!

Favorite summer color

July 2, 2015

What’s your favorite summer color this year? I have been leaning towards this shade of summer yellow a lot. Pantone is calling it ‘Mimosa’. Last year I was more into pastel shades but this year somehow I have been drawn to bright warm hues. Wanted to share some of my choices with ya!
Last month at Alt Summit Summer 2015 (see full post here & here) , Sherwin Williams was one of our event sponsors and they were handing out these pretty swatch cards promoting their summer color collection. My eye just went directly to this ‘decisive yellow’ shade. Trust me guys if I had a renovation going on right now, I would be definitely be using this one.

I do however, plan on painting my coffee table with it or accent a chair.

So I thought it will be fun to do round ups of the trends I like for you guys and just to make it more fun and interesting, I will be sharing some art prints/ wallpapers for you to download at the end of the post!
