And they WED !!

Every site, blog, piece of information provider must be bombarded with the Royal Wedding and why not it was the most anticipated event and possibly the wedding of this generation ( well they call it the Fairytale wedding). For that how could I not do my bit on the royal wedding and give my blog a royal start. So yeah , the world has been waiting with bated breath to see what the commoner Kate Middleton would wear or who would she wear when she walks to the aisle to be the princess and yes the wait is over its Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. I had my stakes on Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen and (jumps out of joy)  it was Alexander McQueen. No second thoughts Kate looked stunning in that Sarah Burton dress. Lace and fitted bodice followed by the train... it was all screaming ROMANCE !! I personally feel the wedding dress was PERFECT, it was a right blend of traditional and modern yet so classy. Kate completely nailed the outfit and it certainly looks like she was wearing the outfit and not the outfit wearing her.


Here is a piece of information about the dress I get from a certain site, The dress was made with Individual flowers hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle to create a unique and organic design -  incorporating the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock. The English lace, hand embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, was demure but pretty. I also hear that the lace on the sleeves is one of its kind, custom made for Her Royal Highness,now shouldn't she demand some royalness. It was such a fresh site to see the bride ina full sleeves gown, whereas brides these days opt for strapless fitted gowns. With these i am sure to see a change in the gowns of the future brides to be. Hunting the streets in NY/UK will surely fetch you a look like. A small birdie tells me Princess Diana's dress was out in the markets in 5 hours post wedding.

                                                    WOW !! need i say more ??

and like every fairytale ending , hope they live happily after.....

The fabulous life of the not so rich and infamous.

Alright, I wanted to get a little more active on my blog but then the worlds local bank sometimes squeezes too much work out of you and does not let you play any other role in life but a banker. So yeah the whole purpose of me getting on blog was to bring out the fashion in real people. I do wana know what Eva Longoria wore to the red carpet  or rather who she wore to the awards, who had a faux pas where, when & how. I am equally interested in knowing who did their color block well and who had a envylicious arm candy (refer my prev post love for Birkin). So yeah whoz not into celeb fashion and their oh so fabulous life but its time to get real, talk about real people who prefer shopping at a Sarojini Nagar in Delhi or a Commercial street in Bangalore than shopping at Bangkok and London a la celebrities,people who save their pocket moneys and other form of money to buy that one expensive pair of Louboutin or a drool worthy Prada bag .

I want to use this space to show amazing everyday street fashion from a simple salwar kameez clad aunty who looks stunning in her own little ways to a peppy trend following young lady/girl who knows how to carry a style. I want my understanding to go deep and bring it out to people that real people can be equally stylish and look like complete divas and a fashionista  in true sense. My blog is not gender bias FYI, I think men can be equally stylish and yes they would also be on this blog very much like the women. There are many a blogs on street fashion but they are all restricted to metros or a specific city but none for Kochi. So here's my take on Kochi  and its fashion troupe but no am not restricting it to Kochi wherever i travel my blog moves with me.

Kochi's style statement has evolved with time but then it still is no competition to the likes of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore etc. A fellow blogger from Kochi has given his inputs on how fashion has evolved in Kochi Life at Abhi . But I really want to see Kochi as a major style hub, yes we need a Tibetan market, we need a street side market where we can buy the most stylish outfits at an unbeatable price,we need brands like mango , promod, zara, fcuk, aldo, nine west, globus, westside etc. we need labels from the designers themselves. Lets not forget Kochi has many a number of Richie rich to afford the expensive price tag of the international /domestic designers and I would definitely want to see alot of couture girls in the city. But that doesn't mean the ordinary person on the street does not have fashion sense. Fashion is more about YOU than about your preferred brand. Materialism is passé. Fashion is a personal style statement and all about creating your signature.

And thus begins my search with my little camera and my thirst/hunger/crave for fashionistas in this upcoming fashion nation in the country. Also I would constantly attempt to try and post my own personal fashion. Until next time closing with a quote by Lord Chesterfield  - If you are not in fashion, you are nobody.

Things i Lust....(Lust List 1)

It was lust at first sight and there was nothing virginal about what I was feeling.

What a Colorlicious way to start fashion blogging...Who wouldn't enjoy an arm candy like this. Yes it is the Hermes Birkin. I am so in love with them,Now only if affording one in every color was possible. With more and more posts to come you ll know my deep down desire/love/craving/lust for Birkins. Trust me for a Birkin I would sell an organ.

I may not understand men, but shoes. Shoes I understand.

Now who wouldn't want to step out in this sexy number,the Jimmy Choo marble booties this one's sure to grab the eye balls. On my lust list today soon in my wardrobe. There is something about Jimmy Choo's makes me go not just weak in the knee but err keep guessing.                                                                                                                                  

I have always wanted my colors to sing.                                                                                                 

                                                                                           

Karen Millen Color Block dresses, with the on going trend of color block guess a timely lust it is. Though I dont consider them to be color block in true sense but the whole make of the dress and patterns is drool worthy. Now only if I had the body to carry this dress. I love all of them, don't even ask me to pick one but but but if I really had to pick one for satisfaction of lust then for some odd reason it would be the one on the mannequin. Can I pick two ??? arrrghhhh.... love every piece.

There are no mistakes in lace, just misdirected threads that present a new challenge. 

Yet another Jimmy Choo on my lust list. Look at the beauty how can this not even be on my list. This is the Jimmy Choo Faye Lace Pumps, with this on those pretty feet is going to make any girl green naayy dark green with envy.

This little bag of dreams

Adorable isn't it ?? Lulu Guinness Lip Shaped Clutches, Besides the adorable lip-shaped clutches, a long-time favorite amongst celebs and fashionistas alike, the line has understandable bodies and rock-star detailing that I admire.

This blog  is my personal diary of fashion. A Banker by profession, I have been in love with fashion ever since I can remember. This space is going to be used to show amazing everyday street fashion and a bit of my personal style. The whole idea of starting my own blog for fashion came when I was in the look out for fashion across India but there hardly exist any but whatever exist are doing a fantastic job but if you ask me about down south it is highly neglected and thats when BOOM !! came the thought. Finally here's my personal fashion blog covering fashion @ places I go and what fascinates me would be captured. I am not a person of high end fashion to me fashion is anything from chappals to 4" bondage stiletoes , basic blue jeans to herve leger's.



If you ask me about my personal style well it has evolved with time from whites and blacks to blue jeans and corporate suits. I do not consider myself a high end authority on fashion, but yes if you need a gentle nudge in the right direction? Sure!! just a buzz away.
