Assignments.....*yawn*

Kay, still compensating for my lost weekend, I'm doing the assg for tomorrow's "Fashion Styling" class in the last minute. So, after dozing off on my desk several times, I got around to posting this.

Now, about the assignment, we are supposed to make two collages to depict wardrobe essentials first for yourself and then the second for any one celebrity....oh and we are supposed to paste magazine cutouts for this. So, I'm slogging through all those old magazines looking for my supposed wardrobe essentials. Here is a peek at my desktop right now:

And mind you, I'm only done cutting out pix for one collage...God help me with the other! 

Anyways, I will post the completed collage and list exactly what my wardrobe essentials are tomorrow. Bye for now... : *

Weekend Fiasco

Kay I had a terrible weekend and I'm just not able to get over it.... This weekend was supposed to be a festive weekend. Lots of my friends, including my bestfriend, were coming home for a 2 day holiday after months. And I was really excited to be going to meet them. And right when everything was going great, we got news of my aunt's, father-in-law's death. And I ended up baby sitting my aunt's daughter for two days. I missed meeting my friends and, all my assignments which I thought of completing over the weekend are pending.... I'm totally packed with work...oh, and my outfit post for the blog is pending too hehe. So, this week is gonna be quite hectic with all the pending work and all the new work added to it.

Anyways, today we had "Garment Construction" class and we were shown how to stitch different kinds of pleats. So, now we have to make fair samples of those pleats too. But, somehow, I feel good having learnt to make pleats, maybe that's because I love pleats. So, here's showing my love for pleats with this set I made on polyvore:

So, yep that's it for today folks, gotta get back to my pending work now. Ta ta...

2 Days and 2 Nights in MUMBAI

Fun with Antiques

Clearing out my wardrobe was a lot of fun! I digged out all my old clothes...some of them fit me and lots of them didn't. I think this is one the biggest projects I've undertaken in a while, I was clearing it after I don't know how many years! Hehe... anyways, I managed to unearth some very weird pieces and some really pretty ones:

I found this billowy georgette top by "Shantanu & Nikhil". It's pretty old, I guess about five years old :P It makes me look like some kinda desert queen or something lol. But, I love it. The embroidery and detailing on the front is to die for! Maybe I'll wear it sometime....

Next, I found this uber unusual, hot pink top. The colour didn't really come through in the pic, but trust me, it's reaally bright. I think it's a little weird, but, maybe if I syle it right, I can carry it off fine....

Now, this is one piece that I'm really happy to find. This black and white frilly, layered skirt is reeaally pretty and I intend to wear this on a regular basis.

This scarf is the height of weird...I don't even remember buying it! Maybe I can tie it around one of my bags, but around the neck?! No way...you can see how bad it looks:

Other than this, I found lots of really nice pieces that I can use on a daily basis. But, I didn't find them interesting enough to post here....

So, that was my wardrobe clearing story.

Oh and this is the new set I created on "polyvore" for that new Prabal Gurung contest:

God, I never win these contests...but, I have my fingers crossed! And I'm gonna make more sets to enter if I get the time.

And hey, we have our festival tomorrow! "Ganesh Chaturthi"! So, gonna be pretty busy with family tomorrow... Later folks :)

Cleaning out the wardrobe

This is the finished assignment:

In today's class we were taught how to make basic poses from the mechanical figure....

And btw, I'm working on clearing and organizing my wardrobe today. So, my bed is a  big mess:

Hopefully I can clear this before going to sleep :P And I intent to make some nice outfits from these....and I'll surely post some more outfit posts this weekend :)

If only, a day had 36 hours.

I am so sandwiched today. Had a double class today, extra time as we missed out on last week's class. And, I'm yet to finish tomorrow's "Fashion Illustration" assignment! This is what I've done so far....

this is just 50% done. I've gotta paint it now. Will post the completed assignment tomorrow....Gotta run now!  Buh bye...

Dress-down Day

Kay, had garment construction again today...and we did the same thing as yesterday and blah blah blah...pretty boring to talk about. So, I'll give it a rest. Instead, I'm going to make this my first outfit post. So, here goes:

My dressing always depends on my mood. I don't have any one kind  of style. Sometimes it's all black and white or earthy tones, and sometimes it's rainbow bright and fluorescent colours. One thing I love to do is layering! But, Indian climate, atleast where I live, prevents me from layering. The climate's always so hot, that I have to stick to basics all the time...

Sometimes I feel like dressing up and sometimes, I just feel like putting on the first thing that gets into my reach... Today was one of those days when I just didn't have the patience to dress up. 

It was a little chilly due to the heavy downpour. But, over here the climate is really unpredictable...one minute it's breezy and cold, and just the next minute it could be stuffy and warm. So, if you put on your winter wear just because it's chilly, then you'll be in for a nasty shock when you start sweating like a pig, a little while later. And it's not even so chilly that we'd wanna wear a jacket....So, this is what I ended up wearing today, the first thing that got into my reach:

I know, booring....but hey, this was my dress down day!


And ofcourse I had to take that stole off just minutes after stepping out of the house. It got really warm.


Oh and these are my pet ballerinas:

What I love about this scarf, is it's texture. And ofcourse, the color is really lovely too. And this black stone studded bangle goes with most of my outfits.

 These are my Levi's Diva jeans. They are studded with swarowski crystals which sadly got covered up because of my long tee today. But they were still subtly seen on sitting....

 Anyways, will hopefully feel like dressing up better tomorrow...So, cya'll tomorrow!
