Corporate Chic


Corporate clothing has to be a safe bet, it can either mess up things for you or play the game for you. So what's the new age office chic all about ??? sheath dresses ?? sheer tights ?? pumps ?? Hell yeahhh ..... i mean nothing can beat that dress code but is it acceptable everywhere ? time to get real ,we all don't work for a hi-end magazine house kind of a workplace where the editor would walk styled in the same and throw all that unwanted tantrums( remember the devil wears prada) or atleast it maybe acceptable in the metros but what about other cities? FYI India has only 6 metro cities).To my knowledge i ve never come across any such office chica dressed same, the least would be to see girls getting out of various air hostess training insti but then that's not even nice to look at(atleast to my eyes it is not) but today what i see in kochi is alot of western formals and trust me you ll be shocked to see these women dressed formally and amuses me that wow how times have changed, and i find one such chica in my office , my bestie who looks nothing but a hottie... trust me you should see her adaa and the grace. She leaves no chances of dressing up and is always dressed to nine(maybe this is what customer interaction does to people,wink) 

Jo is a super fashionable chica and i love shopping spree with her(too much fun) and as my blog is mostly about street style fashion i thought of putting her pictures and corporate chic would be the ideal tag for this and why not what better way than starting my picture treat with her on my post. ( no no i wasnt paid for this,haha)






Jo has styled her corporate look by wearing a striped shirt and basic black formal trousers where she added the much needed glam by adding the waist coat and that lace just earned her brownie point ( well not because i lust lace :p)

so thats my corporate chica for you, leme know if u spot any such hot shot corporate chica at ur work place.

Drool worthy - For your eyes only !!


In the immortal words of Carrie Bradshaw "I may not understand men, but shoes. Shoes I understand."

Exactly my words. The colours, the make, the size, and most importantly the heel, how we women love looking tall, long legged lasses. Over the years my affair with shoes has grown manifold and has blossomed into a full-fledged romance(Lets not even get into the number of pairs i own).I was always a flats or slip on person cuz being 5"4 i always considered myself average tall and didn't feel the need to wear heels. Enter the corporate world and bang all i need are a pair of stunning pumps with acceptable heels. They not only make me look tall but also make me feel confident as i walk around and inside me i feel nothing but a diva. Trust me, wear a basic tee and a jeans and tag them along with a pair of heels,it will revamp your look completely and bring that much required glam.

My mom would be the right person to tell you this, my favorite past time is to go online and check out the various look books and drool over the stunning shoes in every color and make one can think of. Below are such beauties that i ve been having my eyes on. Hope you drool at them the same like I ve been.

I ve been drooling over these stunners for quite sometime, such a visual delight these are... hope you enjoy them too. and talking about price tags, well lets not even get into it .... :P

Loot !!

Store Alert 


So the other day me and my super adorable bestie happen to do something we love the most, shopping ofcourse. Do we even need a second thought for that ?? so after a couple of random buys we happen to come across this store called THE LOOT , it looked nice from the exterior and inside me i felt the store was calling me (Alright i feel the same for all the stores that sell shoes, bags and clothes). So we hit the store and I was like ehhh why would anybody have Gulshan Grover as their ambassador of all the celebrities and then i realise its a discount store for all the amazing brands. so yeah looks like the name, ambassador and the whole concept of the store falls in place.Loot because its a store that sells branded clothing and accessories on discount throughout the year. Yes, can you believe that. We needn't wait for a season or a festive sale or incase of branded luxury even clearance. Simply put, a multi branded store.



THE LOOT is located at The Gold Souk in the basement closely next to the big bazaar. So why am i all praise for the shop, well why wouldn't I ?? i get a Levis on 25% to 60% off i would only be insane to not buy it, I buy French connection and that too at a dirt cheap price. I buy other brands and i get another piece free. Now don't you think i would be nothing but a stupid retard woman to not buy them ?? So what does the store have for us, well it boasts of  brands like Levis ( for all the girlies they also have the curve id collection), Puma, FCUK, Lee, Adidas to name a few. They have clothing,accessories, footwear, and caps. The amazing collection of caps they have is just drool worthy (if somebody happens to go there,please count the number of caps and let me know the count :p) 

The store has an interesting trial room, it looks nothing but a prison. Certainly serves the name right. Loot - Prison , get the click ?? haha....  Apart from this they have really nice people as the store incharge, very friendly and would go that one extra mile to help you get your piece. Took some pictures of the store for you to see




Gulshan Grover for the store 

The Loot - Prison 

                                                                    spot me if you can



And for those who didn't know the store also has a story behind it, care to read ?? click here 

Until then wishing you lots of shopping. Let me know your store experience.

I Give a Hoot !!

Hello Lovely people... whoever reading this hope that you are in the pink of health.... so today was a fun day, was out with my sister shopping bought some lovely stuff, infact any day is a good day if there is shopping involved. All Hail Retail therapy !! i am sure all the girlie's out there would agree with me. 

I wanted to do a post today. I hate the fact that i don't do it regularly so this was topping my list for tonite,why tonite ?? i do all my blog post late in the wee hours of the night. Thats the way i like it. No wonder mom calls me an OWL !! being nocturnal is fun in its own ways. Its so quiet and calm at this late hour. (Blissful in its own way) Talking about owl lately i ve been noticing alot of OWL. Noticing where ?? well almost everywhere looks like its the new in thing. I ve seen a couple of celebrities spotting the owl pendant. Spotted someone wearing an owl print t-shirt. You name it and there is an owl print on it. I ve spotted these on t-shirts, pendants, earrings, bags, mobile cases, sandals, belts, hair clips.... ok stop the list just goes on and on. A little research and i get to know that its a fall 2011 accessory now that's the cause of all the spotting of the hoot oops the owl.



Do you give a HOOT to any of the pieces ??


Some of the celebs spotted wearing these fabulous pieces are


            Sonam Kapoor                                 Shweta Salve                                        Pooja Bedi



                            Carol Gracias



My personal favourite piece among the jewellery is this gold/silver, i love the fact that it has a vintage feel to it.



How HOOT are they ?? 

and funny it may sound but then i think of these pieces and imagine myself wearing it something like this for a casual day out . I feel the white shirt is the apt base for the piece and thus an attention grabber.



Honestly, I ve always associated owls to petrifying horror, dark haunting rooms, ghostly figure all of that and i ve also heard that they have the ability to turn their heads around making them even more spooky but after seeing these pretty pieces who wouldn't change their belief. Aren't they the cutest piece of jewellery ? My hunt for this is on, i ve been running errands for this piece in gold/silver any as both are utterly cute.(Cant wait to get my hands on it, as i imagine myself wearing a navy blue dress and wearing this pendant long and hanging for a night out.) I am yet to stop by at the fashion haven in Cochin, THE CONVENT JUNCTION. Wonder if I ll find them there but then all thanks to technology,shopping online is way too convenient and to my luck I found one that suits me but then that will only be bought if i don't find one at the local store. Until then am going to satisfy myself with the visual treat i get looking at these outstanding fashion accessories. 

Let me know if you get your hands on one of these pieces and send me a picture would love to see you flaunt them.

Cheers
Tanusha
