Monsoon Brights

I have this love hate relationship with rains and this year we have been waiting for monsoons with much anticipation.I do love the sweet smell of earth when the first showers hit the ground and also heavy rains but only when I am sitting at home sipping some green tea.Every time it rains I just dread getting out of the house.In monsoons for me there is no such day as a good hair day.It is quite a dilemma on how to arrive anywhere looking presentable.

During monsoons, it is better to be cautious about what outfit, make up and accessories you choose.The emphasis should be more on no fuss comfortable clothing.Adding a dose of rich vibrant colours to otherwise dull day is the way to go.Its best to wear easily drying light fabrics in monsoon.In monsoon again its difficult to wear denims and thats why I picked these light fabric blue pants for this post.Its bright to counter a dull day and the fabric is light and dries easily.Blue and black&white is a classic combination you can never go wrong with it.Monsoons bring dark gloomy days, so to cheer up your mood bring out those bold polka dots, aztec, geometric prints.Now coming to these black heels I have worn these because the look required it otherwise we cannot wear anything other than monsoon friendly footwear.

And as every year I do I am reminding myself not to stay gloomy like the weather but welcome the beautiful rains with a happy and cheerful face and also hopefully enjoy them till they last. 

Keep the above tips in mind dont let the rains be a dampener and hit the monsoons in style.

Été d'adieu

Crop top - Zara | Maxi Skirt - Koovs.com (Buy here) | Hat - Forever21 | Bag - Accessorize | Sandals - Zara

I have been longing to do a maxi skirt outfit on the blog again.One can never get enough of maxi skirts.Even though I wear lots of maxi skirts and dresses during summers this year as you have seen I have been more diverted towards loose comfortable pants.

Wear it on those relaxing holidays for those beach escapes these skirts reminds one of comfort and ease.There are so many different ways to style when it comes to maxi skirt.This look can be transitioned from day to night and from seasons to seasons.I have spoken here at lengths about the immense versatility of this skirt.

I have previously done a flowy pleated maxi skirt outfit in a neutral colour and hence I decided to go for a tube shaped skirt in pink.I have added a printed top and a beautiful hat.Lately I have been struck by the colour pink.I have been wearing lots of pinks lately.Yes as it was not enough in lipsticks and makeup this obsession with pink has now transferred to clothes also.I have worn a pleated pink skirt in a previous post Colourburst and now again pink a different shade though more on the lighter or pastel side.This thing happens to me at timely intervals I get stuck on one particular thing it can be a particular colour or clothing or a pair of shoes.Its like when you listen to a particular song and its the only song you want to listen for days till you get it out of your system. 

Well you can treat this as a farewell post to summers soon monsoon will be arriving with pleasant showers.In other news Styllogue completed one year and I am very elated about the blog becoming a year old.I will be writing a proper anniversary post soon.

Sacs In Your Sack

For us style conscious girls only good clothes are not enough .We also need stylish bags that compliment our outfits. 

Here is my list of Basic 5 must have bags in your style arsenal

Everyday everywhere bag 

Your everyday and everywhere bag should be one which you can carry of with anything and everything.This black doctor bag of mine is one such bag which looks good with everything.I have styled it twice,once with denim (here) and second with a dress (here).The colour of the bag being black is one of the reasons it gels so well with many outfits.One thing to keep in mind while choosing a everyday bag is pick up a bag in neutral colours.

Tote

      

Tote has come a long way since being just a beach bag,totes are no longer those boring canvas or cloth bags.Totes(here) are widely available in multiple sizes,colours,fabrics and designs.This bag will have room to store all your personal stuff.This bag is good enough to accompany you to your college to fit all your assignments and journals,for your shopping trips ,travel...etc..

Crossbody bag

The bag in this picture is called a Saddle bag (here).A crossbody bag is not only supposed to be worn across your chest.It looks great as a shoulder bag too.A crossbody bag looks good with almost everything from your casual jeans,skirts to those cute summer dresses.

Satchel bag

Now this satchel bag (here) may look very small to pass as an essential but it has enough room to fit your important stuff.Plus to suit your needs these are available in different sizes.
