Red, pink and done. 😋 How cool is this outfit?! 🥳 My new fashion finds and my favorites too!😉 What’s new in your wardrobe? 😋
Hello everyone, how’s it going? It feels great to be back after almost a year. I couldn’t resist from posting this look after watching the Emmys 2019. Feeling major inspiration from the red carpet looks, especially the red&pink combination. With this late summer(go home already) where you are not quite ready to introduce fall colors, this pink&red trend creates a perfect look.
A loosely knit chunky sweater (hint hint sweater is on sale) paired with denim and few accessories is a no brainer. In my head I am already dressing up this chunky knit in so many ways for the colder months. Just love the details on this sweater, the puffy sleeves and the cute yet feminine color is just the perfect new addition to the wardrobe.
I didn’t think cowboy style was something for me and then I spot these red boots in the same cowboy style. I just had to dress them up, they had me at the first sight! The very dominant cowboy style is yet wearable this way, which not to forget is one of the top trends of 2019-20.
Hope you enjoyed, stay tuned for more! I sure had fun, looking forward to sharing more of my passion for fashion and bring you along.
No matter how you are feeling, you can never say no to floral elements. In simple words “flowers are mood lifting” don’t you agree? As I tell you to ignore my dark circles, I just love this look so much. The hair, the makeup, the dress, the accessories are just perfect. Considering its summer you definitely do not wanna load up on your makeup, to even it all out adding a bright lip always helps. Also added a bit of bronzing tint, it adds a little bit of dimension and warmth making it a perfect evening look. As we were wandering around the streets of Vegas, I still wanted to keep everything practical and comfortable.
This floral top had my heat the first time I laid eyes on it, I had already started to style the top in my head while on my way to the billing counter. Although I have been talking a lot about how we obsess over black and never explore colors, this top made sense. I can literally wear this everyday and still make it look different every single time, such versatile pieces are key to building a great, long lasting, timeless wardrobe.
All kinds of pastel colors are so in trend and blush pink is one of its kind. And, I had to get this skirt out. This skirt was a little out there for me when I purchased, but I kept it anyway. This cute little skirt is one of my top favorites. That’s because, it looks great, checks off ✅📝 all the trend factors, it wasn’t a big investment (although I would hate myself if something happened to this, so I take very good care so it lasts longer), it is comfortable, fits perfect and stays in place unlike some skirts that just roll right up as you walk (so not cool) which makes it more likely to be put to use. You must have seen me wear this before, way long ago on Instagram feeds.
Fun fact: when I purchased this skirt I could barely fit into it, but I loved it a little too much to return. So I held on to it thinking “hmm I should be able to fit into it some day”. Luckily enough I did, 💃🏼and this time I had to pin it as it’s a little loose now.
It was just a glimpse of hope and it turned out pretty great. I have always loved matching my shoe with a handbag, this clearly is an example of that. All these products are easily accessible and affordable. I will leave a couple of links to similar products for you to shop, these are some of best deals you will find.
Just as requested, here is how I made the healthy substitute for the traditional white potatoes deep fried fries. 🍟 😌💁🏽♀️ Hope you enjoy these as much as I did, do tag me & let me know how you liked it. Any questions or doubts leave them in comments, will answer them for sure.
Typically 1 serving of McDonald’s French Fries (Medium) = 340 calories where more then 50% of it is just fats, not the good kind. On the other hand these yam fries are around 200 to 250 calories per serving + you get all the additional nutrients that our body needs on an everyday basis that are naturally present in yam. (more info on yam below📌) This way you still enjoy fries & also do some good to your body by providing all the essential vitamins. 🍠💃🏼
It is so simple to make these, I can’t even call it a “recipe”, but definitely no compromise on the taste. This is probably the only guilt free fries ever, easy to make, tastes good, very little to no oil, low in calories, nothing but good benefits for your health and treat for your taste buds.😋😋😋
Mustard or hummus for dipping or some homemade marinara sauce or guacamole will taste delicious 😋
Instructions: In a bowl add all the cut yam with desired seasoning, although less salt should be good. Mix well, spread everything over a baking sheet evenly. If you are using coconut oil you can drizzle some now, if using olive oil drizzle some after the baking is complete. Bake this for 10 to 15mins at 350°C check on them after & continue to bake for another 5mins if needed. They will be done pretty quickly, keep an eye on them.
If there are leftovers you can totally use them the next day as a lil snack, place them under the broiler for just 3 to 4mins and done that’s your healthy lil snack in no time. They will get crispy at this point. 😋
📌Yam Nutrition: Yam is a good source of energy and each 100 grams contain 118 calories. It is mainly composed of complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber. It is an excellent source of B complex vitamins like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B1, riboflavin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and niacin. It also contains a good amount of antioxidants and Vitamin C. It provides around 20% of the required Vitamin C in the body per 100 grams. It also contains small amounts of Vitamin A and beta carotene levels. It is a rich source of minerals like copper, potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. 100 grams of yam provides 816 mg of Potassium.
Hey, It’s National Sunglass Day, yeaaaaaa! Who is exited?
Here are a few of my favorite sunglass picks for you, that are quite a statement for the summer season. I love accessories that are fun, easy, bold & trendy. Even with an outfit as simple as a white tee with denim, pop on a pair of sunnies and done, plus it protects your eyes from harsh sun rays during the day. Fashion with a purpose!
These are definitely some of my must must must have recommendations, hope you love them too!
One day I opened my closet looking for something nice & colorful to wear with some cute prints & all I could see was these same old plain blacks & grays (oh boy, if that isn’t the most frustrating thing ever!) Which wasn’t that surprising either. All I do is pick the same over & over even when my eyes are on something else but all that comes home are blacks & grays. Shocking, all I wanted to do was to get all the colors on the color wheel in my closet right away. But then, once am in store I would again end up buying the same stuff. Is this a curse or what! 🤯 Will I ever get to wear something other than blacks & grays ever again?! 🤯 That’s what even I thought, until now!😎 Well, we are now about to break that curse! 🧙♀️
If you are one of those who always go back to boring cloths every time, then keep up. You won’t be doing that anymore after reading this! Now is the time to get it right and play with some fun colors & cool prints. 😌Don’t worry am not asking you to go crazy with funky neon colors(although, you should, if you like being experimental). Trust me, by the end of this you will master the theory of wearing colors & prints! 😎
Talking Fashion couldn’t be any more fun! You must have already seen bits and pieces of my new obsession over yellows & whites on my Instagram, if not go follow me there for live updates. Since it’s summer playing around with colors & prints is so much more fun. 😀What does summer remind you of? 🌞To me summer is all about seeing places, roaming around till your legs give up on you, eating mangoes & having fun in the sun even though you might later look at your tan face & go “I should have spent a lil less time under the sun”.🌻
There is no right or wrong when it comes to dressing, we all know that. Yet we worry all the time “I dunno what to wear, I have nothing to wear” has to come up every day!Well, I say, just start experimenting! Don’t stick to the same old that you think makes you look slimmer, taller, sexier or whatever. 😏 You never know there could be a new black out there waiting for you. Wondering how to find your new black? Well, that’s easy as a pie.😋
I’ll tell you a small fun exercise that you can simply do when you go shopping this time. Can you do that? Hello, you better do! 👉You will thank me later. Once you do that you will no more be scared of colors & prints. 👩🏻🎨 This is how I found out that yellow is my new black. Stick around till the end their is a surprise! 🧚🏻♀️
Coming back to how you can get to a colorful wardrobe, here is what you do when you are out shopping this time!
1. Inspiration Board: Create a Pinterest board & save all the fun ootd images that you like. You can do it on Instagram too, now that it’s got the save button. Just literally blindly save colorful outfits with different prints, patterns etc., You can also refer to my previous posts for some inspiration. Do as many as you like until you have enough to pick & choose from.
2. Understand The Theme: Now, go through all of those saved outfit images from Pinterest & Instagram. You will definitely notice something common among those saved images. That could be anything, a specific color or a specific stripe pattern that caught youthful attention or some abstract print to something totally different like a texture of a fabric or a weave that’s common in your saved images. Identify what that theme for you is, see how you feel. If your Fashion instinct is still not talking to you, just go to the store! Yes, just go to the store. 💁🏽♀️
3. Go For It: 👍Go to your favorite store, add everything in your cart. You’ve gotta pick at least 2 different prints & 2 different colors. Something that you love it never dared to try one yourself . Because, you are scared it might not look as good on you. Here is your chance to wear that dress that you’ve always adored on others. Don’t get into the judging mode yet.🤫😐 You know what kind of colors & prints you like from the inspiration board that you created. That’s gonna help you pick those pieces that you otherwise would never even consider for yourself. Now, try it on! You can see yourself how different the dresses look on you v/s in your imagination v/s on the manikin. Told you 😉
4. Filter: You are now through that hard part of the fun exercise, finally! It’s gonna probably take very little to no time to filter, keeping in mind how versatile you wanna go this time. Once you try them on, take a picture if you want so you can compare yourself. I find it easier to decide when you look at all the options on your phone side by side, also easy to spot those odd lengths & unflattering hemlines in a picture. You will be now left with the most amazing piece in your hand. I promise, you will be thrilled to discover something like that could ever look good on you. And, here you were obsessing over nothing & held back from trying.
5. Let’s Celebrate & Inspire: End of the day all that matters is “do you love what you picked?” “Are you thrilled to wear it every chance you get?”. If that’s yes! I consider my job done & successfully ✅ done. l really would love to see what you picked & how helpful this has been to be fearless & happy with your clothing choices. What you wear is what you are! Do share or tag me in your pictures or DM me on Instagram personally.
If you are one of those who always go back to boring cloths every time, then keep up. You won’t be doing that anymore after reading this! Now is the time to get it right and play with some fun colors & cool prints. 😌Don’t worry am not asking you to go crazy with funky neon colors(although, you should, if you like being experimental). Trust me, by the end of this you will master the theory of wearing colors & prints! 😎
