Chiconomical

Hello blogworld! I can't believe its only been a few days since my first taste of fashion week! I have to say, its been exciting, fascinating and for a little bit, infuriating! I've seen some fabulous designs on the runway, met some amazing designers (couldn't believe how sweet some of them were!) and hung out with the fashion swish set! Not to mention, seen some pretty famous people!

So, lemme give you a glimpse of what the first day was like for me. I started off fretting like crazy about what to wear (I had planned ahead, but there were some last minute problems with the outfit) and ended up in my favorite new dress! The original dress that my sister made for me! Unfortunately, I've been a bum and don't have any good pictures of me at Lakme. Will not do that again! (Apologizes Japanese style for some reason!)



The first show we went to was the Zovi Gen Next Show, and I have to say I was impressed with some of the pieces. Structured monochrome, draping, flowy silhouettes, crazy prints...it was all there in the new talent that was showcasing and I have to say, I'm impressed!
This was followed by a mad rush to various shows throughout the day! Phew! Exciting and exhausting at the same time! Cannot believe the amount of talent I saw on the runway!

Also, the highlight of the day(any maybe the entire fashion week) for me was Asha Bhonsale and her amazing personality! She is truly a timeless beauty. For me, the others on ramp with her, faded in comparison to her humility and oomph! And I think the fashion world got it too if the standing ovation was anything to go by.

I've decided I'm going to write separate posts about the things I really liked because I don't think its fair to cram everything into one post! Besides, it'l give me a better way to talk about the collections and my views about them. So Stay tuned!

Chiconomical's going places! Thanks to a sister who is in the fashion industry, I've got the opportunity to go for lakme fashion week! This is the place to be for all fashionistas in Mumbai this weekend! And I get to be one of them! Yay!!

Lakme Fashion Week starts today, and there are some amazing new designers who will be showcasing their collections! Here's a quick round up of some of the talent on the ramp!



Sorry, for the newspaper articles roundup! I'm currently on a cray schedule (whats with my two lives almost colliding at the mo!) and couldn't give a detailed description of all the designers I'm going to be watching out for at the fashion week! But don't you worry! I'm going to be giving you an update about all the designers as the week progresses!
And with that, I need to sign off....coz, well, I do need to figure out what to wear innit? Something that's chic as well as fashion week worthy....yep, not difficult at all....(screaming a little in my head)....oh well, will keep you posted! Have a good weekend everyone, I know I will! :)

No, I haven't gone crazy and started talking to inanimate objects. Well, maybe I have..... seeing as how I'm convinced that there's a black hole in my pocket that's sucking all my money away. I think that in an alternate dimension there another me who's got money raining from the most unexpected places.  No? Its my own spending habits that are doing that? Oh....okay....umm...oops!

Another week and another round of shopping! I'm so broke its a Joke! Wait, that rhymed! I really do like rhymes! No, that isn't what this post is about....oh yes, shopping! I've been dropping the BIG bucks this week! For starters, I've got a new phone!! Yay! Although it cost more than a month's salary, and technically mum n dad paid for it....its still mine, and since my old phone was literally falling apart and periodically going into a coma (it lost a few keys last month) this had become a necessity! Thank you so much daddy!

I also did a bit of sale shopping and got a couple of prezzies from my cousins! I went to Globus this week! I LOVE Globus sales....makes me wonder why I still don't have a store card! Must get one next time!

They have some fabulous items on sale currently, and if your in Bandra, you definitely need to have a little look in! Oh, and FLAT 50% thank you very much! They've even got some gorgeous dresses on sale but sadly, skinny little me couldn't even make the XS ones stay on me! One actually slid right back down! Lol!!

Here are my buys (Oops!) from the sale....



And now for the presents! My sisters are fabulous and I love them to bits! Also, they know exactly what I like!(An added bonus!)



So that's my week in purchases! I really do need to sort out my wardrobe...maybe by styles and color?? Any ideas?? Drop a line in the comments down below to let me know! :)

I've taken the plunge! Hello neon rockers club!! If your a regular reader (and thank you so much if you are!) then you know how my sister gifted me a River Island neon lace top! (You can read all about it here)
I had a feeling that this would be a bit too bright for India but after wearing it today, I've gotta tell u! Its empowering to wear something you know everyone's probably looking at but still feel comfortable in!

Oh, and yet another plus, today's pictures have been taken by my fabulous best friend (is there anything you can't do?!) who was nice enough to come over to take them! Virtual hug for u!! I decided to try out the top with minimal accessories(best avoid any lady gaga moments you know!) and did switch between two necklaces to see which looked better.
