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.

DIY : NEON CLUTCH

COLOR IS THE NEW BLACK. A Pop of color to an all black outfit can make a Style statement like no other.  Why spend  a lump sum amount to look stylish when you can can you achieve the same in just a few bucks.

Material you need :

1.  Neon Fabric.

2. Lining fabric.

3. Canvas material.

4. Fabric glue

5. Brooch/ button

6. Magnet button

7. Scissors.

STEP 1:

Draw the desired layout of your clutch on the canvas material. Trace the measurements on your fabric and cutout the fabric. Then stick the canvas material on the inside of your fabric with fabric glue. The canvas material will give your clutch a shape and will keep it firm.

STEP 2:

Now cut the lining in the same outline as the fabric and stick it on the canvas with fabric glue.

STEP 3:

Now fold the edges and stick them from 3 sides to make the clutch look neat.

STEP 4:

Fold the clutch and stick the sides or hand sew for a neater effect. Do the same for the the upper flap of the clutch.

STEP 5:

Now attach the magnetic buttons on the insides of the flap. To beautify your clutch sew a brooch or button on the top to make it stand out.

You can team up this Neon clutch with an all black outfit or you can also use it for color block. This colorful clutch would also really go well with traditional Indian wear.
