Chiconomical

I've thought about restarting this segment for along time now and there's no time better than the new year to make new beginnings...so from now on, every Thursday, there will be a street find that's fabulous in both style and price!

Today's pick?


This gold statement necklace has spikes and muted gold. It may look like a lot but pair it with a simple saree for the wedding season or go crazy and pair it with a button down shirt and blazer to add a little bling to your work wardrobe. Either way, its a definite must have this season. 

Fridays! Working on Fridays is always a mixed feeling isn't it? If you work in an office like mine, its probably the one day you can wear smart casuals to work, or if you work in a casual office already, its possibly the last working day of the week! Yes weekend is at your door! But what I have seen is a lot of struggle when it comes to office chic Friday dressing. Usually, as it is the only day you're allowed to wear jeans, everyone is in just another uniform or denims. I decided it was time to showcase an outfit that shows my personal preference when it comes to Friday Dressing.

I've always been a big fan of the Little Black Dress. So much so that my mom says, "you've got so many now I can't even remember all of them". Erm...that isn't exactly true mom, but I still love buying them whenever I get a chance. So this little number from Globus was off the rail and in my bag within seconds of spotting it in the Globus sales a couple of years back. True, its never made it to the blog for some reason, but when I wore it to a small family dinner a few days ago, it finally got its spot in the limelight!







Layering necklaces is something I think needs to be done right. This dress is such a great base and since it was a little festive occasion I decided it was the perfect time to add a few gold accents to the look. The gold metal cuff is simply gorgeous and while I got mine off the streets, there are some really great options online too. Links to all of these above. I'm planning to make online links to similar items a regular thing on the blog. Would you guys like that? Tell me in the comments below.

In other news, I've got a giveaway lined up for you guys this week! Yay!! So stay tuned for that. You can also follow me on Facebook to get instant updates on best street bargains. 

My obsession with crop tops seems to grow everyday. Coupled with the rising temperatures, its my two new loves that have taken centre stage.The Palazzo pants have come out with all their pop colors to combat the heat. Thank god for wide leg pants that can let my body breathe! Right?












Classics are the best when you want fuss free dressing. This classic black croptop is so good, I think its practically a wardrobe staple. These simple palazzo pants are just such a pretty color you immediately want to wear them all the time! I kept the look simple so as to keep the focus on the clean lines. I think summers are the best time for minimal dressing. The hat was just a last minute addition to keep my messy hair in check. Overall, something I think I'll be wearing over and over again this summer.

Is the summer heat getting to you? How are you combating the extreme weather? Talk to me in the comments below. I'd love hearing your thoughts!

Today is possibly the first day of Summer. The beginnings of a hot and sweaty summer always mark a sad goodbye to winter trends. One of these, and of course my all time favorite is the tartan trend that has caught everyone's fancy. However, my city's weather makes it quite impossible to wear anything 'warm' as soon as we hit March. Well, unless you wanna turn into a human pot roast its time to say say tata to tartan. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to try and sneak it in every once in a while (I can't seem to live without it) but its definitely going to be a little less, unless I find a summer tartan shirt. (Come on Colaba, make me a lucky girl!!)






I love red on red. Its just such a pretty color that it makes me feel pretty and powerful, even if I'm just bumming around the house. I've lived in this shirt the past few days, and I'm going to miss it once the mercury hits its high notes. Its simply too warm to be worn in summer. The skirt has been around for quite a while and the rest of my look is typical of a weekend in my world.

Are you getting ready for Summer? What new pieces are you adding to your wardrobe to make it summer friendly? Tell me in the comments!

I love birthdays! They're that time of the year when you celebrate a person for no reason other than existing. Last Sunday was my favorite uncle's birthday and I was super excited to go celebrate with him! I decided to dress according to my mood and this meant the bright clothes came out with a vengeance. I bought these palazzos on my birthday and this is the first time I've worn them. They're a little too big for me around the waist but I simply couldn't wait till I got them fixed. Enter stage right, pretty scarf as a belt coming to my rescue!









I love how cool the blue and the yellow look together. This belt is actually a scarf wrapped around twice and tucked in to make it snug and ensure that my pants don't slip of my non-existent waist! I kept the rest of the look fairly simple by adding a white blouse and messy hair. Okay, so maybe the hair was more due to being late than style but nobody needs to know that!

How do you celebrate birthdays? Tell me in the comments below. I'd love to hear from you!

Which one would you get??
