Big girl- Is that a problem?


"The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress"- Hubert de Givenchy


One of my best friends happens to be large in size and she thinks that being fat means - NO FASHION.   

That is why I decided to share my thoughts with my blog readers. 
There is nothing such as " have you lost weight" dress. If you are having weight problems then there is nothing much you can do about it besides watching your portions and working out but there can definitely be strategies of making yourself look attractive, slenderizing your body with your sense of dressing.


My first advice would be- Avoid picking up clothes directly off the rack but get it tailored. Imagine how good you would look in a custom made evening dress falling perfectly on your body because it knows you well and it has been made just for you. 






Know your body, know your curves and if you do not have curves then create it with your clothes. Use belts. I would suggest to go for wider belts as it helps to push the bulge inside. Also there are loads of shape wears available in the stores. Try using them- you won't regret. 








Cover up. Women tend to think that showing skin would make them look sexy. Well that does not apply for everyone. You might just end up looking like Snookie from the "Jersey Shore" reality TV show.
Remember- A hidden figure always looks better. 


Wear heels (at least kitten heels) and go for knee length skirts because that's where your legs start to get thin and heels would give that extra definition to your body and a ladylike walk.





Learn from Adele and emphasize on your strongest features. Go easy on the bust, emphasize on your waist and always cover up your arms and thighs. Use colors and patterns that would divert the gaze. Never choose a thin fabric because it shows each and every bulge clearly.Keep your hair big to make your face look smaller and above all- wear your confidence in your eyes, your voice, your gestures and your attitude and you will see how many heads your turning. 

So my dear girls- It's not always about how you look but how you can make yourself look.

Fashion and Fun


Isn't life all about having fun? Fashion is also all about having fun but with your clothes."Fashion" alone is little boring but when you add "fun" to it then there is a whole new meaning which is endless and fearless. 

I personally am obsessed with fashion and when it comes to giving myself a new look, I always choose something that I do not usually see on someone else or on a window display. I of course get inspired by whatever I see but I always like to recreate things and make it my own. I sometimes end up doing stupid things and get laughed at but hey Rome wasn't built in a day! It's a learning process after all and I know I will get there.

I remember it was 6th of December 2012, I went to a club with one of my best friends wearing a Yayoi Kusama inspired polka dot shirt, Zara skinny jeans, Valentino boots and a tiny Calvin Klein side bag which was a gift from a dear friend (I wish I had carried my camera that night). I had people staring at me as soon as I entered the club and some of them even laughed (just so you know- I am from India where people can get a little judgmental sometimes). Well, it wasn't funny anymore when few minuted later two photographers came up and asked me to pose for their respective websites.

My point is- you do what you gotta do to make yourself stand out in a crowd. It needs big balls to be one of a kind (excuse my language), it needs courage and confidence, all you have to do is look in one direction (not the British boy band...lol).

People who are bold are always beautiful and never go unnoticed and trust me- one day they will get it. Like Lady Gaga says- "I'm just trying to change the world one sequin at a time".

Birthday party?... Naahh... just a cute birthday evening.




I feel so lucky to be a December born. It's a season of holidays and joy.

My birthday also brought me a joy.I'm talking about the wine bottle. (wink) 
Besides the over gushing love of my folks, it also got me a new pair of shoes. " Valentino". 
Oh yeah... Valentino..... (I cannot wait to blog about them) 

I was watching Will & Grace as Daddy said - you waste a lot of money son. I said, come on paaaa... It's all going to the Valentino's boots foundation and I'm sure he helps the poor. L . O . L 



Anyway.... I think I almost made an H&M boy on my birthday evening as my shirt, pants, cap and sweater were all H&M.
Boots are Jessy Jordon and bow tie......from a local 3rd grade costume shop in Lille, France which happens to be my favorite. (Trust me when I say favorite- half the store is now resting in peace in my closet and I literally shared a candy bar with the store girl and promised her to send pigeons from India) 





Well, the evening ended with a family dinner, jokes and leg pulling (It was like thanksgiving in my house).

It's just that I don't like the fact that I'm getting older.... darn it!!!

Here is my second video blog. Hope you'll like it.
