Tie-Dye to Die For...



On a stroll to Leisure Valley with a couple of friends, I wore one of my Maxy gowns in tie-dye from my very own label “Shruti S”. As the scorching summer heat will increase, so will the dullness in the ambience. The summers in Northern India are way too extreme. It’s totally apt to wear whites in comfortable and breathable fabrics.


But for me, pure whites are boring. Thus, when I design, I always lift up the white by adding colors. Like in this dress, I broke the monotony in white with lots of tie-dye. The colors – blue, black, brown and beige complement each other amazingly and also stand out remarkably on this white flared dress.


To add to my Tie-dye dress, I chose a bohemian fringed bag from Aldo in off white color. Trust me; I just loved it as it’s easy to carry and trendy at the same time. 


I have a fetish for high heels that it is so hard to resist myself from the varied range of footwear in high heels available out there. I chose to wear my ALDO boots with this tie-dye dress and bohemian fringed bag. The wedge boots make me walk confidently as ever and also keep my casual look intact.


When it comes to jewellery, I always keep it simple. My mantra to look chic is “Never go overboard with jewellery. It’s classic when it is minimal”. I picked up a vintage necklace in black and blue to give it a within-the-dress kind of look. 




As much as I loved admiring the beauty of Leisure Valley and had fun posing and getting myself clicked, the best part was when we hampered the lovey-dovey moments of the couples who were out there romancing behind the bushes. LOL!!

Hello Crinoline!!!

From the city beautiful, Chandigarh, i bring out my 1st story.. "Hello Crinoline"..


This year, after a long winter, we finally welcomed the sun.

It was a  beautiful sunny morning, when i thought to go shopping to one of the oldest and most beautiful shopping complexes in the city. One of the best places to visit - shop till you drop, flaunt yourself and have a good time.

Before the stores could actually open, i thought why not get myself clicked.

sector 17 shopping complex, Chandigarh



I chose to wear a crinoline, double breasted dress in georgette fabric, with the bias check prints, from my own label SHRUTI S.


My favourite pick to not only protect my face from the direct sunlight, but also enjoy the morning sunshine, was a black boonie hat from ALDO.


Soon enough, people around were interested in gazing at me posing at the camera, rather than their own shopping. Lol!!



                 
Whenever i go out, i can never let go of my sling bag. All my personal belongings are kept safe in this comfy yet stylish bag. So, to complement my crinoline dress, i carried this black bag with a golden chain sling, which gelled well with my hat and my platform wedges from CHARLES & KEITH.
                     

P.S.  I love to curl up my hair. I am gifted with bouncy textured hair and i love to keep that natural look by just styling it up a bit. Bluish-grey smoky eyes, almost nude lips and black nails - that completes my Crinoline LOOK.
