Recap : Running Shaadi Promotions

Taapsee Pannu plays character of Nimmi in her recent movie named ‘Running Shaadi’. Nimmi is a traditional Punjabi girl with a progressive mind, a head strong girl with a wild child’s heart. Keeping her character in mind we chose to stick to local talent with a hint of edge and progressivism. Her looks were based on her bold and care free character while keeping in mind her traditional foundation.

Sunburst

Art has no boundaries and only through art are we able to cross boundaries and connect to people globally. Stephanie Kantis is a designer who embarked onto her journey as a jewelry designer by breaking these boundaries. An interior designer for nearly two decades, inspired by her trips to Mexico and Spanish culture, Stephanie chose to leave all that she knew behind and immerse herself into the romantic lifestyle of a Spanish colonial town.

Her time spent there inspired her to create her very first collection incorporating several local techniques. Today, the designer still maintains her brand’s diverse origins and continues to grow her collections with inspiration derived from various cultures of the world.

Their sunburst design has easily become my new closet staple!

Story of a Choker: Ritika Sachdeva

I believe chokers have been trending so long that at this point they might as well be a closet staple. They come in all sizes and shapes and the variety is pretty much endless. So now the struggle is to find this new closet staple a personality of its own.

For me the clear winner is Ms. Sachdeva’s twist of east-meets-west slash bohemian slash tribal embellished choker.

Here is my take on the how to get this choker on pretty much everything you own.

With a Turtle Neck

Winter is not really going anywhere anytime soon, so pair up this funky piece with a simple black turtleneck and jeans for a daytime look. Keeping this cozy with a twist.

With a Classic White Shirt

Wear this choker inside a classic white shirt and pair of cropped fringe jeans to keep things on trend. Let the accessories bring in that pop of color while keeping the outfit monochrome.

With a Simple Camisole

A open neckline + choker? Indeed! Chokers are known to accentuate your neckline and shoulders so pairing this one with a basic camisole and a flirty pleated skirt might just be your next outfit of choice to the next lunch date. (Don’t forget a clutch to keep all the necessities handy)

NYE Edit

_DSC0582_Fotor.jpg

I don’t want to assume that every girl out there is in the same situation as me, but I am pretty sure in about 2.5 days we all will be in the I-have-nothing-to-wear state of mind. With all the food devoured and all the soul cycle classes skipped (because you were too busy shopping those online sales) that sequin mini dress you pledged to wear at the start of 2016 might as well wait out another year/ another New Years resolution.

And then, there is this whole new sleuth of fabrics and trends one can choose from this year making things even worse. With Velvet making a come back, metallics staying ever strong and sequins never left the scene, what should one settle for?

I have narrowed down to 5 trends I am nodding towards this NYE:

  1. Metallics
  2. Velvet
  3. Fringe
  4. Sequin
  5. Feather

Metallics:

(Top: J.Crew, Skirt: & Other Stories, Shoes: Jean Michel Cazabat, Necklace: J.Crew)

Pair the trend with classics like pumps and a basic turtleneck. And since its your final good bye to 2016 might as well add that little oomph and put on your favorite statement jewels.

Shop the trend:

A.L.C Bobby Pleated Lame Midi 

DvF Heavyn Metallic Pleated Midi

Miss Selfridge Silver Metallic Pleated Skirt

Zara Metallic Fine Pleated Skirt

Velvet:

Velvet is definitely fabric of the year and there is no denying it has taken over all our closet staples from joggers to shoes. Play up a velvet top with a pair of printed booties and cropped flared jeans.

Shop the trend:

Topshop Polly Bardot Velvet Top

Vince Hald Sleeve Jewel Neck Velvet Tee

ASOS Velvet Wrap Tea Blouse

b.Young High Neck Velvet Top

Zara Velvet Top

& Other Stories Graphic Devore Blouse

Fringe

Fringe instantly takes us back to the 70’s and can easily become too costume-y if taken too literally. Since we will be celebrating New Years and not Halloween its crucial to keep the accessories minimal and more modern to avoid any further confusions on your sartorial status.

Shop the trend:

Aidan by Aidan Mattox Fringe Sheath Dress

Joie Sanibel Embellished Fringe Trim Dress

Herve Leger Fringe-Hem Embellished Knit Bandage Dress

Misguided Peace and Love Fringe Dress

Zara Fringe Top

Sequin:

(Dress: Elizabeth & James, Shoes: Zara, Bag: Emilio Pucci)

The number one trend for all New Year Eves is metallics. When all else fails, sparkles it is! Why not pair it with metallic accessories and basic heels to keep the bling under control.

Shop the trend:

Zara Sequined Dress with a V-Neck

Zara Sequin Slip Dress

Hailstone Heritage Racerback Sequined Sheath Dress

Elizabeth and James Tank Dress

Elizabeth and James Danya Metallic Mini Dress

Feathers:

(Skirt: Line & Dot, Sweater: JCrew, Shoes: Jean Michel Cazabat)

Surely my favorite! Pair a feather skirt with a classic slouchy sweater (brownie points for winter friendly attire) and a pair of booties or classic pumps. Or why not go all out and wear a fully feathered dress, after all it is the last thing you will wear in 2016.

Shop the trend:

Keira Ostrich Skirt 

Carolina Herrar Feather Trimmed Knit Top

Michael Kors Feather Embellished Chantilly Lace Mini Dress

Jason Wu Feather-Embellished Voile Skirt

Alice + Olivia Cina Feather Mini Skirt

So what will you be wearing this NYE? 🙂
