Un jour à le Lakme Fashion Week- A/W '13

The real fun of attending the Fashion Week lies in discovering some amazing new talents,the excitement of top models breezing past in their effortless style and having the entire fashion circuit under one roof. It was all that and more on the 2nd Day of Lakme Fashion Week 2013 when we dropped by to see the Jatin Varma and Payal Singhal show! It was a fun evening with all the glitz and glam we've always loved!

Still not over studs.

Um..Hi.

Settling down for the show.

Accessories: Add Ons

Anyone who has stumbled across our blog cannot have missed noticing our fascination with accessories. Whether it is stacked up arm candy or dainty earrings, we hardly leave our homes without accessories on. So when we stumbled across Add ons shopping website, we had to take a better look.

What we liked about the collection is that we can score a great deal for a reasonable price. From pretty pearl earring to edgy studded footwear - there is something in there for everyone.

Our top picks from the collection:

Edgy Earrings:

A good pair of earring can transform the drabbest outfit into a little more fun. These infinity earrings from the collection made us want to order them on the spot - small but catchy.

Colourful Shoes:

Shoes are necessary investment pieces. But visuals need not go for a toss because of comfort. The gorgeous flats work both as eye soothers as well as will feel like a breeze.

Arm Stash:

Loading the arm with a beautifully crafted cuff or a good old charm bracelet can complete any outfit. It's what we run to when we want to and a new element to an old outfit.

Caps/Hats:

We are not really hat people but that doesn't stop us from admiring people who carry them off well!

A mid-day in Paris.

Fashion and Paris is an age-old cliche, yet it's difficult not to fall in the love with a French woman's neat taste for all things fashion.  We were excited to be invited by Elle Fashionwear to preview their Spring Summer '13 collection. The theme of the event being Mid-day in Paris just made it all the better. 

The theme of the collection was 'Botanical' and comprised of breezy dresses, coloured denims and pretty jumpsuits. The French theme could be noticed through the strong colours and elegant silhouettes. The collection is a lovely mixture of green, red, purple and yellow. 

Even though the collection did not resonate with our personal taste in fashion we could clearly see why so many chic city women would love it!

The event itself was amazing. We got to catch up with Amena and Ritcha and finally got to meet Dayle and Shubhi :D To top it off there was macroons and champange - what more could we ask for!

Marchesa 2013- The Indian inspiration.

It's always fun keeping track to all the new collections that come out and we were very happy when we saw the Marchesa Spring 2013 collection; and boy were we in love or what!

Seeing any of our favourite international designers using India as a source of inspiration in their designs is true joy especially if they've done it well like this one. And honestly why wouldn't they? India is a very aesthetically pleasing inspiration.

The Spring 2013 collection of Marchesa for Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman is riot of beautiful rich colours of fuchsia, gold, ivory, navy blue and more. The have infused the ornate embellishments and rich silks of our country well.

Loving the beautiful side braids.

This fringe clutch is nothing less that awesomeness! We are in love!

 Love this two piece with a lace embroidered crop top and a sheer floor length parachute skirt with a silver embellished waistline. Midriff is a returning trend for the coming year.

Isn't the the detailing in the collection amazing? The kundan kadas go exceptionally well with the looks.

The sheer detailing of the gown is what made us fall in love with this one. The wine colored ensemble trimmed with gold lining also has a gorgeous embroidered pattern at the top. 

Is there's one thing that makes us go weak in the knees then it has to be well detailed shoes. And these pair with the lovely embellishment and lace is one of our top favourites.

A lovely sheer cocktail dress with fun orange and gold embroidery.  The piece is simple and versatile making it one of those dresses that can be over accessorized to add glamour.

These were all our favourite pieces from the collection. Tell us which ones are yours in the comments section below.
