Jewellery's the best way to elevate your look and Shillpa Purii's designs are perfect pieces to incorporate in your looks this festive season. My favourites are their candy cone earrings. There's something about the roughness of the druzy stone that we love. It's rough and yet it's delicate!
We surely have way too much jewellery but are always on the look out for beautiful unique pieces that aren't too common either and that's what made us like these pieces that much more.
Hope you guys like them as much as we do. Can't wait to show all of you more of their gorgeous pieces overtime!

Like jumpsuits, rompers also have become a fashion staple and for good reason. They're so easy to wear and like most wardrobe staples, can be dressed up or down and aren't only bound by trends. In addition to that you don't have to think about any mixing and matching. All in all, rompers like jumpsuits are style simplified!
You can find rompers in a range of fabrics, colours and prints to suit your body type and personal style! This is one of my favourite rompers because I love the colour and who doesn't love lace, right?

Denim shirts now come in updated styles and fabrics and are a must have in every man's wardrobe. The reason why it should be a wardrobe essential is because it transcends age, season and style.
We've always been huge fans of David Beckham's style and he's been spotted wearing denim shirts on multiple occasions. That's what inspired us to put up this post.
Denim shirts are incredibly versatile and can instantly up your style factor. So, here are a few ways to style a denim shirt and dress a little like the man himself!

Bomber jackets have been all the rage for a bit now and this Bedouin Bomber is just perfect. I love my black and that floral sequins pattern completely elevates this staple piece!
As much as I love the bomber, I can't completely neglect the culottes. Even they have been all over the place and I was so excited to see that they had a black pair in this collection since I can never find a pair at a regular high street store that fits me well. So, if you're petite like I am, Bedouin's definitely a label you should have a look at! The garments are so simplistic and not too restricted by seasons either.

Here are 6 simple do's and don'ts to help you style your suit and make it last longer:
1. DO wear a belt that matches the colour of your shoes. As well as the texture, if you can
2. DO add some colour with your shirts and pair that with some nice printed ties or vice versa
3. DO buy more than one trouser for your suit to extend its life if you aren't planning on investing in too many suits.
4. DON'T ever fasten the last button on your blazer
5. DON'T wear black suits with brown shoes. Stick to the black on black look!
6. DON'T dry clean your suit too often because that will surely wear it out quicker as well

Here's our second look styling a form fitted midi pencil skirt. We picked this up in London a while back because of that dotted detail on the net. It was a little too big so we got it altered. That tends to be the case every now and then because it's sometimes hard to find pieces we like that fit really well. So, we just get it tailored to the right fit. (Petite people problems!)
Again, most women think you need to be tall to pull off midi skirts. But, that's not the case at all. Just pairing it with heels can do the trick and elongate your petite frame, like it does ours.

We'd previously paired this jacket with the white knee ripped pants and thought we should play around with lengths this time around. So without much thought we deiced to pair it with our go to denim shorts.
Wearing a lightweight long jacket with faded denim shorts can completely transform the otherwise casual piece. With a pair of heels, of course. We love how it's such a slightly unexpected pairing. This could work perfectly this fall because it can get a little chilly in Dubai and India but it's surely not cold enough to have to wear anything much warmer.
Hope all of you like this look!

The most important of them all is to make sure you invest in a suit that makes you feel and look GOOD!
If you don't go suit shopping very often then make sure you pick a suit that's versatile and classic. In other words don't invest in a suit that's driven by trends.
Here's what you need to keep in mind:
The Colour:
Pick a two piece suit in a dark colour (Eg.Charcoal, Dark Navy, Black) - They're practical and versatile since they can be paired with an array of shirts and accessories.
The Fit:
Shoulder - The suit shoulders should hug your shoulders. Move your arms forward and backward to make sure it's not too tight and uncomfortable.
Sleeve Length - Only about half an inch to an inch of your shirt should peak out. If not, you can always get the length altered.
Chest - The jacket button should easily open and there should be no gaping. If just your fist fits between the buttoned blazer and shirt you're good to go. If not, you've got to go a size up or down.
Blazer Length - Hang your hands down on the side and see if you can cup the hem of the blazer. It should just touch your finger tips or be right above it. If not, it's too long.
Trousers - The half or full break would be the perfect choice. That just means the trouser shouldn't be riding above your shoes and showing your socks and it shouldn't be too much of a full break where there's a huge hem sitting on top of the shoe and covering the entire heel.
The Details:
Two Button Suits - You should only ever button the top and while sitting make sure to unbutton that too. This style is ideal for all body types.
Three Button Suits - You should always have the middle button fastened while buttoning the first one is optional. Make sure the last one's always unbuttoned. Again, all of them need to be unbuttoned when you sit. This style is ideal for men of all body types but particularly for those who are more heavily built.
One Button Suits - You should always have it buttoned while standing and unbuttoned while sitting. This style is ideal for more contemporary dressers and those with slimmer body types.
Fabric:
Pick a light wool fabric that can be worn all year round.
Lining:
A good suit blazer will have a fully lined interior. Make sure the pattern on the lining is nice and simple so it can match most of your shirts.
That's it! Make sure to keep all this in mind and you're sure to own that Perfect suit!

If you aren't rocking the fringe trend just yet you sure will be, come spring 2016. Judging from some of the runway looks at New York Fashion Week, this trend's going to continue to have its moment.
All I wanted to do while wearing this Ritika Bharwani fringe dress was to get on a dance floor and swish and sway around! It's the perfect cocktail dress and the colours are just so subtle and beautiful. What's not to love, right?
We hadn't shared all the outfit details when we'd posted it on our Instagram account a while back. So, here you go!

This is one trend that almost never goes out of style. They can be paired with almost anything since they also come in a variety of colours!
You don't have to go all out and dress head to toe in animal print to rock this trend. Sport it in small doses, like we have here.
Besides the animal print top even adding accessories like that snake print wallet while running errands can make the look even more eye-catching and trendy.
So, tap into your animalistic side and have some fun with this trend!

Double denim's back in fashion and this is how we styled it at Lifestyle for their Autumn/Winter collection!
Most people would pair denim jeans or shorts with a denim shirt. But, we decided to change it up a bit by pairing these jeans with a printed top and a denim vest. If you don't have a denim vest you could always pair it with a chambray top or a denim jacket to keep you warmer.
Here are a few things to keep in mind while rocking this trend:
If you're new to the trend make sure your piece are of similar washes so the outfit looks more cohesive.
A pair of sleek heels can take this look from weekend casual to cool! If heel's aren't your thing then just pair it with some nice strappy sandals or wedges to be more comfortable.
Make sure you try to break up the blues. Here we've done that with the top. You could always break it dow with your accessories. Be it a belt or even a handbag.
There are plenty of denim option available everywhere at the moment. So, go ahead and try the double denim trend!
