Color of 2011 - ORANGE

Sport the hottest color of 2011Spring  - ORANGE!! 

We girls usually tend to wear pinks and reds if we feel like wearing something bright. Its time to break out from our regular color trends and sport one of the bright colors which can take you away from your gloomy mood to your happy sunny side. I personally love the dark and bright orange shade which has been a big trend in fashion weeks this year. Specially with color blocking being a huge success this season, orange has been the favourite pick among all the colors.

Another thing in my wishlist is the Orange blazer. It can be teamed up with a dress, a trouser or even with tights and looks fab...

Orange accessories can add up a touch of colour to a nude outfit or an outfit with basic colors. 

                                                            

                                                            Orange handbag:

If you think you are not bold enough to sport an orange colored outfit then you can always play it safe by accessorising it with an orange handbag.

Orange is the new Red in the makeup section. Orange nails and orange lips are the boldest trend of 2011 spring makeup. 

An orange colored lips can brighten up a nude face. Do keep in mind to keep rest of your makeup minimal with the orange lip color.

Fashion Trend - Color Blocking

One of the hottest trend seen this year at the fashion shows is the color blocking which includes combining different colours of bright hues together. Color blocking can be done with your outfit, accessories, or makeup. It is very easy to go wrong with color blocking. The best practical way to sport a color blocking is to combine one bright colour with neutral colors. The dash of bright colour can be in your shoes, pant/denims/tights with a neutral colored top. and if u confident enough then another colour can be added in the form of accesories either with a bright colored bag, a scarf, headband or a bright colored lipcolor or eyeshadow. But only one of these. Do not go overboard with adding colors.

The best color blocking can be seeen in Jil sander and Gucci design. Color blocking is all about choosing the right color combinations. An orange with pink or a denim blue, red with pink, orange or cobalt blue, pink with purple are some of the options.

A Gucci Outfit

One of the easiest and fun option to go for is to team a bright coloured pants/denims with a neutral colored top.

Gucci 2011

Im sure everyone will love Gucci's colorblocking but the key to this is selecting the right colors together. It is very easy to go wrong here when there are more than two colors involved.

Bright accessories (bags, bangles, hair accessories), bright colored tights/ jeans can help you get the look.

Are you bold enough to sport colorblocking this summer!! :D

Fashion Trends - Jumpsuits

I am completely in love with jumpsuits. It has been one of the hottest trends since 2009. But in India as everything seems to catch up late,  I'm still struggling to find really nice jumpsuits. I find them the most comfortable and stylish piece of clothing.

The trend of jumpsuit was seen in the 70's when these were known as flying suits. They were considered a bit boyish as the style seemed to resemble a mechanic suit. Back then it didnt have different avatars that can be seen on the ramp, these days. 

But now these jumpsuits can be found in myriad fits and styles from loose to fitted, casual to formal. A simple jumsuit can be accessorised with nice jewellery, clutch and heels or for a casual look, team it up with flat pumps, a jacket and a cross sling bag!

Below are few of the different styles of jumpsuits- 

Armani
This is my favourite style -  formal and classy- can someone please let me know if you find a dupe for this!!
