Go Glam

When it comes to shoes I tend to be very choosy. The design, the texture and the color that suit my need appeal to me the most. But comfort is something which has always been my foremost priority. I try avoiding sky high pencil heels as much as possible. I am more comfortable wearing sneakers or flats and run errands whenever needed. I tend to stick to pencil heels which aren’t too high and are comfortable to move around in. I have been loving block heels lately. The fact that they are so comfortable to move around in have made me fall in love with them like literally. It is really difficult for one to get a certain pair of shoes which serves their purpose as well as make them feel like they own the world when walking with those on.

I came across TALONS D'OR few days back and the whole idea of designing my own pair of shoes intrigued me. I thought of giving it a shot instantly. The shoe designing procedure was super easy. I knew what I needed so that made everything completely hassle free. I was looking for a pair of court shoes but with block heels instead. The site had so many options for textures and colors that I was tempted to design different pairs of different textures and colors. I somehow managed to control my craving for all things fancy. I finally settled down for this pair and I am in complete awe. It is so comfortable to walk in and its looks all sorts of classy. I chose to omph up the heels with a dash of glitter on the heels. I created this look around the heels. I paired a high neck top with a pair of trousers which has a fall of Jodhpuris around the upper part. I loved how all things looked proportional and there you have another all black outfit with a hint of glam of-course!

Log on to TALONS D'OR and start designing your dream pair right about now!

When it comes to Ethnic pieces I have always preferred something which is really subtle but at the same time catches everyone's eye. Some outfits are worth million words and this outfit speaks for itself. Structured pieces with intricate designs is what I always look for when it comes to ethnic pieces. Something that's simple but the detailing are such which leaves a long lasting impression.

Abhishek Ray the man of the hour is an amazing fashion designer who puts up in Kolkata and has an amazing taste when it comes to creating outfits. He graduated from NIFT in 2005 and that is how he entered the indian fashion scenario and since then there's no stopping. He came up with his own flagship store ABHISHEK RAY 2 months back and his collections are too amazing to not compliment. Justine and I decided to do a collaborative shoot with him and it was so much fun. We asked Abhishek to help up with the outfits and the ones he took us through was absolutely love at first sight.

I wore a black chanderi and tulle combined asymmetric jacket.The front yoke has hand embroided Parsi embroidery in bright colors while the side panels are embroidered with zari. The back of the jacket is in unlined tulle panels which adds a sexy element to the outfit and the hem has the same Parsi border. This is teamed with a chantile lace palazzo for a chic sophisticated and trendy look. As for accessories stacked wooden and antique metal bangles and antique bronze and pearl earrings sealed the look. The make up complimented the outfit. Smokey eyes, nude lips and a high hair up do. The jacket can also be teamed on top of a black or beige trouser, distressed denim or also with ripped denim shorts if you are looking to play around with it. This outfit is trendy yet traditional, modern but deeply rooted in culture and also sexy yet demure.

Justine is an upcoming blogger who has been killing it with her sense of style. Keeping it simple and not going overboard she really knows how to work minimalism to its best and does absolute justice to it. She also is an amazing person in and out.
