Printed Stories

Hello and hello. Like always I have vanished in oblivion, leaving you to ponder annoyingly (if you know that the blog exists). Seriously, read my blog you overstuffed idiots and probably you might dress well! Before you ask what I have been busy with, well joblessness isn't easy to handle! There's the late getting up, the lazing in bed and absolute boredom to battle with.

Coming back to fashion, my holiday has left me with a sartorial hangover. I am feelin' the love for prints now. Give me Erdem, Pucci, DvF and let's call it a day! Of course, plump bodies can deal with only so much print so we need our solids too. For that I say, bring out the ochres, the oranges, the turqoise and the magenta. Newer hues seem to be attracting our attention instead of the same ol same ol.

This is my favorite look from Erdem's Spring/Summer collection 2012. I love the butter yellow against the flowers. But the dress shape isn't for us curvier woman. Oh, the tragedy. Not that I could afford it. I like the light, summer-y feeling of the skirt in the second picture. Not a fan of the shirt though. It is too old-ish for my taste.



Moving on to affordable things, I am understanding slowly and steadily how to select bags. Earlier I was pretty much hopeless and selected anything that was black or beige and big. Currently on my wishlist is this nice bag from Zara. Love the color.


The thing I most about UK is Primark. The joys of buying clothes so cheap is unmatched! Sadly they don't have a very structured website so I can't even drool at their products. But I liked this dress. Sorry I don't have pictures from a better angle.


That's all for now folks! Hope you had a happy New Year and all that jazz. And hope 2012 treats you really well! :) and I know it won't make a difference, but still if you do visit the blog, how about going and liking the page or commenting on the blog? Really! Just drop in and say 'Hi' for all I care!

New Year's Eve!

Yes, Yes I am a bad bad blogger and yes I don't blog regularly but hey! I am here. So, now. Its December as mentioned before and even though its really m-ehhh this year, I am thinking since the year was so so so just not cool, we should rebel. Down with the dresses and down with the feminine. I am going all androgynous for the New Year's bash (or whatever it shall be). Not your LBD, or your frills for 2011. Let us man up! One of my recent picks which still languish in my closet are those yellow pants from Vero Moda. They are very comfortable and well they are different. Perfect if you don't want to dress up and just be well put together.



 I would pair it with this sequin top from Zara. Well we can't rebel SO much. Some shine and some glam for the cheer that (hopefully) 2012 shall bring us! I love the contrasting shades and I think it will look eclectic and interesting at the same time.



As said many times before, I am waging a constant battle (considering I am jobless) with my wardrobe to dress differently and fun-ly at the same time. And some of my long lost clothes are seeing the light of the day due to the blog. So yay for us! But yeah, displaying my newfound love for lipstick (IT IS SO SO SO SO AWESOME), I would like to end the year with berry lips. Yes, BERRY BERRY BERRY. (Writing in Caps Lock lends legitimacy) I am not sure about gloss but a little swipe might help.



Earlier I would be satisfied with just the dress and not bother about accessories or make up but I have realized a lot goes into a perfect ensemble. I would opt for this clutch from Accessorize. The snake print is in the same color family as the pants and it helps jazz things up.

Since its winter and my lovely lovely boots which collect dust all year round finally can be worn! So yay for boots! I would pair the outfit with these boots from Charles and Keith, who I think are slowly emerging as an classy and elegant shoe store.



I think the outfit is sartorially strong to need any distracting accessories but I would probably pair a brown bib necklace or a chunky cocktail ring. Some kohl and mascara and we are ready to a go-go!!!

P.S- We will decide on an equally rebellious Christmas outfit next week. And yes, we are going in the wrong order but who cares?
