Last OOTD of 2015

Hi My Beautiful People!!

With this last OOTD of this year, here is wishing you all a very happy New Year. This year was awesome and so great. Thank you all for all the love and support you have shown for my little space here. I am so grateful to you and I am so humbled for where my blog stands today. Without your love and support it would not have been possible at all. So here is my heartfelt gratitude. I wish the New Year brings in lots of happiness, success, joy and a better life to all of us. I love you all and thank you for staying with me.

As the weather has been so kind these days in Doha, it is a real treat to go out and just enjoy the sun by the beaches, to go the park or just take a walk by the Corniche. Today I went with my girls to Katara Cultural Village for a casual hangout followed by Dinner and some nice Tea by the sea side. This place is one of the major tourist attractions as well as a nice hangout for us residing here. There are the choicest of restaurants serving all kind of Mediterranean Cuisine, bakery, small tea shops and snack shops. Basically it is a complete retreat and a great experience to have out of our busy lives.

For today's Casual Evening Out I decided to wear something that would keep me warm and nice and something that is also a little edgy and stylish and comfortable at the same time. Paired my black leggings with a classic white shirt and layered the shirt with a high neck asymmetrical hemline sweater. Threw in the leather jacket on top of it to keep me even more warmer in the breezy chilly winter evening. To complete the outfit donned my most favourite pair of Boots with those killer pencil heels and accessorized with a choker and my faux furr clutch that I got from Christmas sales this year.  

Hope you liked this last OOTD of the year 2015 and thank you so much for stopping by today.
With a promise to see you real soon with more OOTDs and travel stories in the new year, here is wishing you a Very Very Happy New Year again. As always stay stylish, stay functional.
Love You All

Pleather Weather Part II

Happy Tuesday!!

How was your weekend guys? Today I will be continuing this post from last saturday's on how to style a pleather legging in five different ways. In the last post I had posted two looks and in this part there will be three looks. Hope you liked the previous ones.

Look# 3

For this look I paired my leggings with a teal coloured jumper. Teal is a colour created by mixing blue and green on a white base. Hence decided to put on a scarf that has blue accents on a white base added with yellow tassels. The base colours of teal in the scarf and the teal itself compliments each other, while the yellow tassels brightens up the whole outfit paired with the black pleather leggings, black boots and a nude coloured clutch (neutral colours). This outfit is perfect for a brunch or a lunch.

Look# 4

For the fourth look I just removed the Black Pleather Biker Jacket from the first look and added this batwing cardigan from the second look. It is really amazing how we can transform looks by just swapping an outerwear. From a Biker Chic look, this cardigan helped me to acheive a Glam Chic look for an evening out or a Girl's Night Out. I kept the whole look neutral with a pop of colour with my Red lips.

Look# 5

For the last look I decided to go the "Everyday Girly Look". Here I just worked on the upper part of my outfit. Instead of the top and the cardigan here I am wearing the same Flushed Pink Jumper worn here with a woven textured dark Teal Blazer. Also added a black Beanie to keep me extra warm. Changed the clutch to a multicoloured clutch with flush pink base so as to keep it connected with the jumper. The jumper has a round neckline and I have a round face. Hence to lengthen my face and neck I added this long chain with an animal print pendant.

Would really like to know how did you like the five looks with the same leggings and which one is your most favourite one.

Until next time keep it stylish.....keep it functional

Pleather Weather (Part I)

Happy Saturday!! Happy Weekend!!

So how is December treating you guys? Here in Kolkata the weather is amazing at this time. Nice sweet winters. Of late i have been really liking Faux Leathers or Pleather. I have always liked how Leather clothes or accessories look upon wearing, personally I would not buy one. There are many reasons to that. The first being pure leather is very expensive, Secondly "the Cruelty" factor bothers me somewhere in my heart.
On the other hand, if we look at Pleather, there are quite a few fact that makes it more alluring. Pleather is incredibly luxurious the way it wears over time. It is lighter than real leather. Does not crease and travels really well. Moreover it is waterproof and hence it has a longer life than leather and is a much more low maintenance item than its counterpart.If we think about the versatility of the fabric, it can be used to sew bodycon dresses as well which requires precision in cut. For aesthetic purposes or functionality Faux Fur or Real Fur can also be added depending upon one's choice. I would say, unlike real leather, the technology in making pleather can be suited according to one's design and preference, making it a more versatile and design friendly fabric in a much more affordable budget.

These days I have been wearing Pleather almost every other day and hence thought of styling a Pleather Leggings in five different ways for this post. I have divided this post into two parts. In the first part there will be two Looks and in the second part the other three Looks.

Look# 1

Animal prints with Leather goes really well. Hence for the first look I thought of going the Biker Chic way with animal print and pleather.

Look# 2

This season The Batwing Cardigans are really making a hype and I am totally crushing over them. I had been on a lookout for the perfect one until I found this one in Closet Diaries, an online store here in India. I love this one coz its batwing(ofcourse) and is neutral in colour(making it more wearable with many other clothes), and it has  Faux Fur detail which makes it look super gorgeous. So, for the second look I paired my Pleather leggings with this Cardigan. Threw in the most Staple Chambray shirt worn here with some silver jewelleries and neutral accessories.
