Happy Children's day guys! Yes, its that day when the country celebrates the children and frankly, while I may not techncially fall in the "childrens" category anymore I believe in being a child at heart. That's exactly why this post is all about adding a bit of fun to your everyday school wardrobe. The Hattie x Koovs collection is a brilliant answer! Even if you don't go to school, its a cool collection that can work for casual Fridays at the office. I don't quite have words to describe how fun the HattiexKoovs collection is. No, I haven't been paid by Koovs to write about this and all the views and purchases in this post are my very own with my hard earned money!

So a few days ago, scrolling as I was through my instagram feed, I saw that the Hattie x Koovs collection had launched. Of course I logged on the website and saw the collection with growing excitement only to take a look at the prices and get majorly bummed out. Yes, I absolutely love the jackets but I really don't have that much money to spare for a jacket that I won't be able to wear in the current weather. But then, last weekend I got a message saying I get 1000 off any purchases over 2500 and I jumped with joy. You see, thanks to a few returns in the recent past I did have some credit in the store and combined with this voucuher, it was heaven! I promptly ordered the bag you see in the images and can I just say it was a great buy? (yes, you've seen it before in this post)






The entire collection is a riot of colors and pop. Each piece oozes with a freshness and energy that's sure to make you smile and get excited just looking at it. Cheeky little quotes and interesting art makes you want to think about going back to your carefree school days. While the prices are a little on the high side, I think this collection would definitely make you smile even if you own one piece from it like me. The bag I bought is actually roomy and perfect for carrying almost your whole world. I managed to pack in my laptop, water bottle, wallet, makeup and a change of clothes and there was still room to spare!

Coming to the look, I wanted something that channeled my inner child. I love pop art at the moment and this sweatshirt is perfect for dreaming about summer while being chilled to the bone. Since its not really that cold in Mumbai, I paired it with a skater skirt and tied my hair in messy braids. The results, a look that's almost as fun as the bag!

January always bring with it, lots of parties and while we all love to dress up, everyone has those days when you simply can't be bothered with the fuss of wearing pretty dresses and wanna wear your old favorite denims and still look chic. Well, I feel the same (always) and that's how I came up with today's look.


For this look I paired my denims with a simple peplum top. I think every girl should have a nice peplum top in her wardrobe. This is one style that suits practically everyone and instantly upgrads your look. Add a jacket for those cold walks back home and a nice pair of heels and you're all set. A simple, no fuss look that can be put together in minutes. Oh, and if all else fails, you can always fall back on the classic red lip. Trust me, everything is better with red lipstick.

Quick Tips to Wear Denims to A Party:

• Easiest way to upstyle a pair of denims is to wear it with a fun top. I'd say go for a beaded or sequined top and keep the rest of it simple.
• Not a sequins girl? Wear a simple tee and then a bright jacket for a no fuss but fun look. 
• A simple solid colored tshirt, jeans and a statment necklace are all one needs for a casual party. Add a pair of heels for extra oomph. 
• Running late and don't have time for all of the above? Just wear bright lipstick and pull your hair up in a messy ponytail. 
• Finally, remember that what you wear isn't as important as what you are. If you're having fun, doesn't matter if you're wearing a pair of sweats! You'll still be the prettiest girl there! 

So I've got a few requests to do style posts for men. While I still don't have a model (hello guy friends of mine who are reading this) I thought it would be a good idea to do atleast a post on where the boys can find some good deals! So here's my very first boys shopping post.

A simple white tshirt is always in fashion! This one from Koovs makes me wanna dress like the boys! Oh, and did I mention, it comes in different colors too! WIN!!

Today I went out to give myself a little birthday treat. I had a vague idea about what I wanted. Skirts. To be more precise, maxi skirts. Well, unfortunately, I didn't have much choice in this on the streets, and what choice I did have simply didn't cut it for me. So, I felt I needed to do a roundup of all the gorgeous skirts I'm desperately wishing I could have in my closet right now. Somebody (Santa) please get these for me!!
