HOW TO GET THE BOHO CHIC LOOK

 So when I was asked to style a Boho Chic look as a part of my assignment at FAD International, India with LCS (London College Of Style) I had a lot going on my mind. I looked up for references and inspirations like the Olsen twins as you can say I am totally obsessed with their style, the reason why I had a whole blog post dedicated to them. In the process I realized that bohemian is all about embracing your own personality. Every Boho chic look has individuality to it. There are no rules of getting a Boho Chic look right. Bohemian style may be described as a trend with certain looks to follow, but it's really all about following your own inspirations.

About the look: While styling this look minimalism was what I kept in mind as I wanted to style a much wearable boho chic look. I pulled this outfit from mine and a friend's wardrobe. A pleated skirt with a tint of orange that stops just above the ankle and a white crop top seemed just the right combination. Fitted clothes don't really go well with bohemian style, so flowy silhouettes are the right choice. I used minimal accessories, a colorful stoned chain and just one earring that gives the whole look a not so perfect finish. The John Lennon vintage glasses just added on to the look making it look quite hipster. For shoes I chose cheetah print sneakers, something that not many would expect (aren't those pink laces just too adorable?). And that was the whole point of this look, to be a lot more individualistic, original and to not be perfect. As I believe "Life does not have to be perfect to be beautiful".

FASHION INSPIRATION | OLSEN TWINS

Are there any more chic, stylish, cool and original sisters than Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen? Well, HELL NO! The twin duo is incredibly stylish and has been by inspiration for what seems like forever now. Their bohemian, hipster and Olsennes never fails to make a style statement.

The twins' fashion obsession began while wearing Chanel on Full House. The originality in their style inspires me the most. Their creation of the fashion genre 'Dumpster Chic' a.k.a the "bag-lady-in-big-shades-with-an-even-bigger-bag look" is something every girl thanks the twins for (I do big time!) Can you imagine imagine yourself in over sized clothes - over sized bag - over sized shades, messy hair and yet be fashionable? Well thanks to the Olsens who have made fashion so easy for the girls.

Mary Kate and Ashley have given bohemian fashion a whole new meaning. No one can do 'boho' better than them. The mix of hipster with a tinge of classiness in their outfits is the reason why I am obsessed with their style. Their over sized shades are like a trademark of the Olsen' that they do the best. Also their art of layering is something I cannot describe in words. 

"We were called eccentric and eclectic. But we were just two California girls trying to dress for the New York winter.”

The twins have always inspired me with their style but more than that their fashion career is a very big inspiration to  me. I look upto them and the work their work in fashion at the age as young as 18 years. 

They are indeed twins but their styles do have an individuality of their own. While Ashley tends to stick to modern basics and classics, Mary-Kate is eccentric and fearless and I love that the most. 

Do you adore the twins as much as I do? Wish to dress like them? Here is your 7 step guide to get the Olsen twins look:

1.Wear darker and somber colors

2.Dress in layers

3.Wear over sized clothing

4.Accessorize with scarves

5.Wear skinny jeans

6.Accessorize with vintage jewelry

7.Top off the bohemian look with boots and over sized sunglasses

HOW TO CHIC STREET STYLE

Hello Sinners! (After struggling for days I finally settled with this name to call my gorgeous readers.) Finally here comes a new post featuring Street Style. Lately I have been obsessing over Street Style of the Fashion Capitals. My personal favorite is the British Capital, London. Specially during Fashion Weeks I find myself stalking the Fashionistas on my computer screen and their Mega Street Style outside the venue rather the New Collection of my favorite designers. Street Style is like this new era in fashion that has no rules at all. The more you break the rules the more chic you look. 

This outfit is my own version of Street Style that a girl like you and me could pull off in Bombay. Dresses with denim jackets are one of my favorite fashion combinations. This also a smart way to wear dresses in the slightly chilly weather of Bombay. To give the outfit a city girl feel I matched the tribal print dress with gold & colorful bangles. The nude wedge heels with a pop of pink completes the outfit giving it a mod look. The brown satchel with the outfit gives it a very young and girlish look, just how I like it!

Hope you liked this look. Let me know your views in the comments below. You can buy the dress in the outfit at 

Cupcakes and Closet. You can also share your Street Style with me and get featured on SIN. Send in your pictures at styldin@gmail.com

FASHIONISTA | BEST OF 2013

2013 was a crazy year in fashion. Few striking trends of 2013 made an impact like none other. Last year was all about bold stripes, prints, statement necklaces, neon colors, skater skirts, crop tops, etc. The unforgettable trends of 2013 forced me to go back in time and put together a Fashionista look, 2013 style. 

As a part of my project at FAD International,India with LCS (London College of Style) I styled a Fashionista look with a mix of trends and color block. Neon and stripes mostly defined the previous year in fashion, hence I chose a combination of the two to create this look. Skirts and blazers have always been one of my favorite combinations. The color blocking gives the outfit a very peppy look .

Thanks to Cupcakes and Closet who helped me style this trendy look with their chic collection. Cupcakes and Closet is an online clothing store with a fresh and youthful collection. If you have a chic style and are obsessing over this look as much as I am, your next shopping haul has to be from Cupcakes and Closet. You can 'Like' their facebook page HERE.

CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN

It is the best time of the year with the festive feels and winter chills. It's a day until Christmas, when we will be sitting under our Christmas trees unwrapping our presents feeling just like a kid again. (at least I do :D) As much as I love December for it's chilly days, the Christmas feels is what I love the most. I bet you do too. So let's do this festive season right and have this celebration with style. 

Gleam and glitter is what Christmas is all about. You don't need a reason to shine. Sequins and shimmer are a Christmas timeless classic. But we also don't want to look like decoration by overdoing it. Keeping it simple and classy is the trick. These are my inspirations for this season.

If you are looking for an outfit which is in vogue and also has a festive touch, your search has now come to an end. A midi shimmer skirt is just what you need. With the midi hemline trending this winter, this outfit would make a style statement like no other. 

Always go easy on the rest of the outfit when you have one shimmer element in it. This outfit looks just perfect with the black jacket giving it the winter feel. Doing basic accessories with this skirt maintains the balance. This is look is my personal favorite. 

If there is one time of the year when you are allowed to go a little over-the-top it's the holidays. Make the most of it and take that shimmery sequin blazer out from the back your wardrobe. Pair it up with a black jumpsuit, skirt or a pair of denims. A sequin blazer will just look glamorous. Keep it simple in the accessories department. Pair black pumps and a black or gold clutch with it and you are all ready for the Christmas eve party!

Dare to shine? Shimmer leggings are your thing then. They are sparkly but so stylish.  The white peplum and belt looks very chic with the leggings. You can also pair the same with a tank top and a cardigan. Add a belt to it to make it look edgy. Remember to keep the rest of the outfit very minimal as there is a lot happening down there already. This look would definitely make you stand out. 

That's all for now. Hope you enjoy your holidays. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
