OOTD | Rangja Blue Frock from Spring Summer 2017 Collection + Life update

The tiny mirros and gotta details are just perfect details to my new favorite piece <3



" I'm going to start posting again" 


*Disappear again for weeks*


" I promise I am going to be very active " 


*Disappear again for weeks*

Whoomp Whoomp.

But if it makes someone happy, I was not working out or working in general and eating alot of fatty food. So blog land isn't the only neglected corner of my life.

So when I noticed I am not doing any thing right. I stopped and traveled to my beautiful Pakland. Change is always a good idea if you are tired of your routine. Any small change makes a different and refreshes you.

So, I hogged on the yummiest food, lazed around, read books and enjoyed 100000s of weddings which involved dolling up myself and my whole family. In some wedding I hardly got ready as there was a long queue of cozins, aunties and everyone.

I shopped alot and went really crazy over all the new collections, colors, cuts because ofcourse who can say no to Paki dresses.

When I saw the latest Rangja's collection featuring Mawra And Urwa with those beautiful, colorful and funky pieces, I had to postponed my flight to get them. I love my neutrals but colors are also fun to wear, which I always over do.

Long story short I assembled this quick little OOTD for my last day out in Karachi.




Basically I really wanted to wear this beautiful blue Frock from Rangja's latest Spring Summer 2017 collection.




And I wanted the whole focus on my frock so I kept other details bare minimal.




The dupatta is from another different shalwar which I bought and it matched this top so well.

I paired it with my favorite FnF black leggings not adding any more color and a flat Kolapuri from Stylo.




It was also an amazing day to rock my Micharl Kors Sunglasses with this top and hide my raccoon eyes as I didnt do any makeup.



Did you like it or how would have you styled it. Let me know in the comments below.

Pakistan Fashion Week 2016 | My Top Looks

With me getting married and keeping a close eye on every fashion collection, show and even awards show to keep my wedding looks and trousseau up-to-date and trendy, how could have I missed the Pakistan Fashion Week?

With top designers to the star showstoppers, traditional heavy bridal jora to season-specific trendy pieces, we have alot on our plate. My all dresses have been finalized and throughout this fashion week I have been praying that I stick to them and don't change my plan just a month before my wedding. (Because that would be disaster!!!)

But this year the fashion week made me really happy about all my picks and I am so looking forward to them. I felt I have done a great job in selecting my dresses (pat on shoulder) because most of the styles I picked were very prominent on the ramp. Lets take a look at some of my favorites.

Ghararas, long anarkalis, velvet top and shawls, sheer dupattas, different deep shades of red, heavy work, pastels palettes were big this season.

And ofcourse Freeia by Suffuse by Sana Yasir 





Not to forget the beautiful couple Sarwat Gilani and Fahad Mirza, who worked for Nauman Afreen






I am loving the Mughal inspired, details, palettes and velvet the most.

Top 12 Fall 2016 Trends | Bombers, Military, Oilive, Velvet, Fur, Patchwork, Pins, Chokers


*I wish you guys could see my face while writing this post, I am that excited.*

I am always excited for this season of the year as we hardly get any cold here in Jeddah but this year I am really looking forward to it as I am gonna be in Pakistan. I have been seeing many different trends popping up but I narrowed down mine and have finally started to shop for it.

With all the fashion weeks ended and people already started to transition their looks into fall I have picked my favorites. And while I shop all these and revamp a few of old ones I wanted to share these with you guyz too.



1. Military/olive colors:
This one has to be my favorite color for the season. I have been seeing it every where in pants, jackets, shoes everything.  This season is really dominated by all things military style, color and print. I really want to pick a military jacket and I have also seen amazing lace up heels at Bershka.
While shopping I noticed few of great pieces @ Bershka, Pull and Bear, ZARA and New Look.



2. Patch work & Pins:
We all have many pair of jeans a few denim jackets and to be honest I am kinda over them because I have been wearing them since my childhood. But this patch work is going to give a new look to many of our staple pieces while adding that pop of fun to the. I am so excited to do some DIYs with all the patch stickers and pins available in market. A few great were spotted @ Also, Stradivarius & Newlook. Oh Oh, Top shop and Newlook has a great pair of jeans with sequined patch work on them.




3. Velvet:
The fabric of the season is so wonderfully soft that you'll want to touch it constantly. Velvet looks so sexy and luxe on body. But this years its not limited to your clothes as I have spotted many shoe, flats, sneakers, heels to bags, gloves and chokers on runway and street. Already having an obsession with the beautiful colors of it, I have purchased 4 shirts to get them embroidery and looking for my perfect pair of shoe now.



4. Fur:
Designers have already had a love affair with luxe fur stoles but asymmetrical draping style trick makes it different than ever before. But you can carry it how ever you prefer and they have been such a staple for fall wardrobe always. I have already got mine and I cant wait to rock it.




5. Military Trench coat:
Pre fall nautical trends continues strong into fall 2016 with navy/military inspired knee to ankle length coats. I have seen them every where from very formal to the ones with patch works. Pair it with heels or sneakers, this trend is here to never fail your outfit goals.



6. Camo Prints:
Lets just confess, we all have a pair of cargo pants in camo print! but this season its not limited to your pants. Camo skirts, camo shirts, camo jackets are all around the stores. Camo print jackets are having a major moment.

PS: Why have I noticed alot of military/camo stuff? Is it me, because I am getting married to an army man or is it really big?? But regardless I am completely rocking these.




7. Statement Sleeves:
So the off shoulder made it to fall by encouraging us to play with different styles of sleeves like ruffles, bell bottomed, bubble sleeves, balloon style, poofed up and so on. This is going to add just an extra cute detail to out outfits. I have been thinking about Disney princesses ever since I noticed this one.




8. Embellishes Guitar Straps:
I am a bag lover and any detail to my bag is a big hit for me. I have been noticing this from the beginning of the year. It is such a cool trend that you can pull off without trying to hard. You can carry this trend on casual days and it will look great on coats and jackets. Yayyyyy!!!!



9. Choker:
Chokers have been around since long but they made a major come back this year. It doesnt matter if you prefer a thin velvet strap or a big heavy metal ones, just make sure there is a choker on your neck to add a little edge to your outfits. I have seen a really goos ones at Stradivarius with a pack of 5 for 59 SAR.




10. Leather Trench coat:
Looking for a raincoat thats equal parts chick and functional? Look no further than next season's patent leather trench coats. Designers looked into leather to craft coats in sleek silhouettes. These style also varies from your classic trench to street-ready.




11. Bombers:
Bomber jackets were big this season and they have definitely staying in fall. Originally designed for WWII pilots in mid 1950, bomber jackets have transformed from a part military uniform, to a high-street fashion staple. Not only does it look sharp but you can wear it with anything and look fashion shot ready.
This trend is so easy to wear_ pair it with bomber of choice with jeans or chinos and a button-down shirt or throw it on your sweats.



12. Sweats:
For me, sweats are always in and this season I have another reason to rock it more often. We all love sweats because how comfy and cozy are they. Do we need more excuses to wear it? Hell no, We dont even need one but I still gave you one more.

So have you decided yours? I am definitely doing some DIYs and fashion posts. Would you guyz like to see it or read it? Let me know in the comments below.

Fashion Trends 2016 | Sunglasses for your face shape

Dear Fashionistas!


It's officially summers!!
High-time to discuss sunglasses!

So with all your vacation & travel plans dont forget to treat yourself with a great pair of new sunglasses. Sunglasses dont only add instant glamour to your personality, makes you look hotter but they are great for protecting your eyes from UV rays & pre-mature aging.

Gorgeous looking sunglasses are a staple accessory in my collection. I love trying out different shapes, frames & colors to match my style. But buying sunglasses is a task it self. Because we wanna make sure that we get the most flattering frame style to compliment our face shape. Worry not, I have got your covered on this!

Look out for your face shapes to know my suggestions for most flattering frame picks for you. 




Round:
So if you have round face play with geometric shaped sunglasses to emphasize on your different features. Opt for rectangular shape to elongate your face while cat eyes will sharpen your soft features.
Recommended frames: Rectangular & sharp cat eyes.





Square:
Opposite to the round face girls, you should offset your features with curvier frames. Dont opt for squared or defined cornered frames as it with look too flat on your face.
Recommended frames: Butterfly, round, aviators & round cornered cat eyes.







Heart: 
If your have broad brows and narrow chin then you are Kylie Jenner's twin (No, I am kidding). Try out styles with bottom heavy frames to balance out. Shapes that are parallel and extend past the width of your face compliments your jawline. Aviators also look really flattering because the silhouettes contrasts your heart shaped face.
Recommended frames: Rectangular, exaggerated bottoms & aviators.






Oval:
Lucky you! because you have the most wiggle room when choosing eyewear & you are Rihanna twin! You basically get to wear whatever you want. You can opt for anything ranging from round to edgier.
Recommended: Round, Rectangular, aviators, cateye, oversized & the list goes on...

Fashion Trends 2016 | 7 Wardrobe staples for this summer

Dear Fashionista!


We are in summers, so its time to put our sweater, jeans & jackets in a corner and bring out some always trendy staples for our summer looks. This heat is all about light colors with pop of others but there are some staples that you can rock always. Here is my cover up for some really effortless pieces which you can mix and match with everything to look summer ready!





1. Basic white shirt:
Not everyday can be a flawless day. So, what the easiest way to look great to deal with such days? Well, invest in white shirts. White shirt is not only your summer essential but a year round staple to your wardrobe. You can through them on with anything and still make a statement. Through them on with a ripped boyfriend jeans for a chic look, or wear it with a short and your are picnic ready. Or swap your shorts with a black pencil skirt for evening look. Your options are endless.





2. Stripped shirts:
Black & white stripped shirts never go out of style. There are countless ways you can style them and never get bored. These shirts are a neutral or print world that works with anything, everything! They go perfectly with other patterns as well as with denim, khaki, leather and the list goes on. Wear them under a denim overall for cool look or wear it under a black leather jacket & black slacks for a night out.





3. White denim:
Lets ditch our black & blue denim for summers and pick some white ones to cool down your looks. Through any color of shirt ranging from floral to patterned, black, tan to neon & still keep your look summer appropriate.




4. Choker anklets:
They have always been a part of fashion and kept coming and going. This season like neck chokers, anklets chokers are big. They look amazing with jeans + sneakers look but still goes well with skirts and high heels. They add this edgy feeling to your look without over boarding your femininity. I am always wearing few very bright ones with my daily looks. So what are you waiting for?




5. Sunglasses:
Sunglasses add an instant glamour to our personality. they make you look hotter & more presentable. It makes a great accessory for the days you don,t wanna do alot. Just apply some lipstick and put on your sunglasses to make an entry. Trust me you will look very put together & glamourous. Check out my suggestions for your face shape here.





6. White sneakers:
From fashion runaways to celebrities to our favorite street style stars & fashion bloggers. Everyone is sporting these! Do we need another reason to buy one pair? Give your feet some rest from heels & put on these because I assure you that this athletic trend isn,t going anywhere sometime soon. I love how cool they look with a right fit jeans but still works great with skirts.




7. Pompoms:
Yes, you heard it right, pompom sandals are officially a trend. Can you contain your excitment? I can't, because colored pompom makes me happy. Though I still have my heart with Mabu by Maria BK but I noticed that pompoms are not restricted to flats. I have seen some really great pompom gladiators & high heels. So, there is something for everyone. or you can get crafty and DIY!





What are your favorites for this season?
