Resurfaced!!

Hello lovely people,
And how have you guys been? Just a quick post, after a really long hiatus, with a couple of pics of what I was wearing on a Sunday evening..lot of colors to cheer you up as we come to an end of the weekend in this part of the world..And yes the year is ending, too!!!!!!!!! What's everyone planning??





Wearing maxi skirt from Myntra, jacket from Romwe, Mulberry Satchel, tee from Newyorker, earrings H&M and statement neckpiece Youshine

Rained Out Once Again!

Ok, I had plans to go out shoot and put some fun pictures but then again the rains decided to spoil the party..but I was determined to have some pictures clicked..so here they are. I have had this gold skirt for over a year but haven't featured it on the blog, it's really the perfect thing to lighten up a dull, dark day like how it was today, I have paired it with a bright orange shirt with some gold rivet detailing on the shoulders.

I have had unusually dull days over the past week.. blame it on the weather..that's easy!!
Nah! it has to be something more..do you guys also get this feeling like when every day just seems like it is a repeat of yesterday, it gives me a sinking feeling thinking I need to do something new..Do you guys have any suggestions? Just that work takes so much of my time but that is the challenge right? Please tell me how you all reinvigorate yourselves? Anyway, I shall not go on with this drab talk, on the brighter side there is an awesome giveaway I am hosting, do enter if you want to own a pretty, pretty dress from Romwe

Allo Allo!

Allo, Allo, everyone..how's it going for all you lovely people? For me it's been a rough two weeks, been a little unwell and then the heat is pulling the spirits down..keeping aside the weather talks, it has been a whirlwind-- the last month-- as I was travelling most of the time and here we are almost six months down 2013.

I don't know if I have made much progress on my promise to devote more time to Street Style, but I have tried to seriously be more active on my facebook page.

These are a few pictures from Sunday when I went to watch Bombay Talkies with my sweetheart friend Aastha. The light was too harsh so the pictures are not that great, apologies. I loved the movie cause it was so not a typical Bollywood fare.

Also I am carrying this lovely black bag from Youshine, you have to check them out for some of the best accessories..

Time to start another week, hope you all kick it off stylishly. Chow!

Ladies in Denims

Guys, here are some of the pictures from the shoot I did for a fashion magazine.. these lovely ladies pictured here were really nice to have turned up in denims for the shoot. Thanks to Pron, Gitanjali, Mansi, Jo and Aseema. I will put up more pictures from the shoot on the Facebook page  during the course of the week.

Happy Sunday everyone.


Pronoti throws in a neon orange belt bought from Colaba Causeway and a nifty pair of blue shoes from Catwalk to spunk up her denim ( from Miss Sixty) look.



Gitanjali in a colored denim skirt with a knotted floral top, special mention for the totally swell brogues.





Mansi wore bright blue pair of jeans, looks great with a layered look on top.





Joeanna clubs a classic denim jacket (Lee Cooper) with indigo pants bought from the streets. Love that satchel from one of the Dharavi shops




Aseema in an ink blue pair of jean mixed with brown and some pastel shades.

STYLE DECODED

Move over those perfectly turned out Hollywood actors, supermodels and hip-shaking pop stars, here come the real hotsteppers --- self- styled girls and guys spotted on the streets, in clubs etcetera. Thanks to the internet, the rage around the world for street fashion blogs and websites is getting bigger by the day. I don’t need your fashion bible à la a Vogue or a GQ; I got my own community of hip and fashionable friends to take tips from.

Call it fashion’s subculture or the underground scene sweeping fashionville, the diktat here is loud and clear and that is to create and not blindly follow. And why not? Every form of art, be it music, literature or films, has an independent streak which thrives alongside the commercial. And maybe this is the big subculture, the indie influence that fashion is witnessing aided by the growing consciousness of young people to look stylish.

Try searching for street fashion and it won’t be surprising if you find thousands of websites trying to chronicle the latest on the streets of Berlin, New York and Paris. Although, not a completely new phenomenon, what with Scott Schuman’s The Sartorialist having been around for over five years, the exciting thing I see now is the new breed of street fashion websites and blogs, which are not necessarily by fashion industry professionals but are run by just about anyone.

In the process, communities such as “Lookbook” have gained mammoth traction, in fact, Wikipedia- the online encyclopaedia, says that it boasts of over 50,000 members and over one million unique hits per month. An invitation- only community site, Lookbook—collective fashion consciousness, lets you post your unique looks/styles which are liked and commented on by fellow members.

The popularity of the community is evident in the fact that Los Angeles based- clothing brand American Apparel partnered with Lookbook to bring out a catalogue to showcase its clothes being worn by the Lookbook members.

For me the mushrooming of such alternative style platforms signals that celebrity fashion is no more the quintessential reference point for youngsters around the world to look edgy. As these street fashion blogs and communities attempt to capture unique, individual styles and not necessarily the big labels sported by celebrities, more crowds will flock towards sites like Lookbook to keep their style quotient up and running. Till a few years back celebrities more or less topped your list of influences if you wanted to be fashionably dressed but now youngsters check these blogs and communities for tips to get street-ready while wanting to be featured there themselves.

If you thought street fashion is only a big phenomenon globally, you will be surprised to see a lot of Indians doing the rounds of the fashion blogosphere. How this sub-consciously inspired me to start a page on the social networking site Facebook called Street Style is another story but that it’s filtering into the Indian fashion scene is anything but evident. Although, most Indian blogs and websites are a far cry from their Western counterparts that such a movement has begun is encouraging enough.

And my blog-- Style De:Coded- is another way to help push this subculture to grow in India as well as its doing worldwide. I would welcome your thoughts on what you feel about this parallel universe that is taking shape in the world of fashion. Please write to me and let me know your ideas and comments on the way forward for this movement.
