Celebrating motherhood

This year my mother's birthday was double exciting because it was her 50th birthday + my 6th month of being pregnant. So we had two reasons to celebrate. We decided to wear outfits which had similar colors and kept the accessories close to look similar in every possible way. 

P.S-  My new clutch from the fabulous 'Art Meets Fashion' added the glamor needed.  Hope you all like the pictures.

I chose to wear an A'line dress, as it perfectly flaunts my new shape. It hugs at the right places and presents your new curves softly without drawing too much attention(which make me conscious) .

 

 

Travel light but travel pretty

'Travel light' is my plan every time but it seldom happens. I think holiday is the perfect time you can relax and have fun, but at the same your pictures have got be perfect! I hate missing out on anything that spoils the picture or background. After all vacation time means lots of pretty memories, and for pretty memories it doesn't hurt looking picture perfect. A few tips to keep in mind before you go on a vacation, and specially if you're freakishly careful about your outfits-

1. I don't mind taking inspiration from other peoples' pictures, and planning a few things before hand. you could do the same. While surfing the net save any cute photos that you would want to recreate.

2. List of outfits is a must. You must for sure what you'll be wearing when. Keep separate outfits for shopping, dinner, beach etc.

3. Next in line is the accessories. I keep a separate box for jewelry and makeup in must handbag.

4. Keep a box of travel makeup ready for all times which has sponge/makeup applicator, babyoil, q-tips, cleansing wipes, painkiller, nail polish remover, lipbalm, perfume tester, tweezers and nail filer(let me know if I'm forgetting anything)

5. Two casual and one formal pair of shoes is a good number.

6. Don't get overboard with the picture taking, that you neglect the fun part. Just keep a lookout for appropriate backgrounds and scenic beauty that can make the experience last forever.

Some pictures from my last vacation. Would love to hear your experiences too:)

Bit of Neon

Neons are a sure way of adding zing to any outfit. Neon has made way from western clothing to accessories to even Indian silhouette. So be sure you could never go wrong with the hint of neon whether going for a movie or even to the club. Some cool ways of sporting neon without overdoing it.

1. Accessories in neon is plenty but be careful while picking one for you. It doesn't have to be big to make a statement. The color and size should be enough for you carry it with confidence. A fancy neon necklace over a gorgeous dress could be an eye catcher.

2. Neon bags are as girly and colorful as we would all like it to be. Beiges and pastel oufits can be perfect base for a neon sling. Perfect blend casual cool with modern chic. Another way for instance could be neon clutch with your LBD for evening wear. Classy!

3. Neon color for makeup can be a great idea too. Find colors that work for you best and flaunt them.  Now who doesn't love a hot pink pout for a flirtatious night. Wear it over a saree or for a fashion event, and your could never be wrong. Electric blues and tang oranges are other amazing options.

4.Pop of neon with a monotone outfit is a sure thing. Neon on your digits is super stylish. I chose neon glasses while heading to the beach.

5.. For the daring ones, neon jackets can be a great way of stepping out. Bold neon prints also show off your bolder side. See pictures here

6. Keep a pair of neon pants/tights handy while going for a vacation. It fixes all your worries.

7. Neons for office wear also work well. Pairing a tailored neon blouse under your office coat or white pants would do jusst fine.

8. And last but not the least- neon shoes. Neon shoes are a must-have. These can up the outfit without pain. See pictures here

This is how I wore my neon last this time. Prints with a bit of neon.

Take me away

Stripes look wonderful in all seasons. As for the rainy days in Mumbai, I picked a light striped knit for a roof top lunch.   As for the white tights, should be avoided I the rains, but if you're staying indoors for an event that white can be the perfect for a romantic outing.
