Sassy in a Corset & Skirt - The Fusion Muse 2


Hey my lovely chiclets!

As many of you know I created a fusion look last month which you all appreciated (click here to read it).  I was so overwhelmed with the positive feedbacks and the praise showered, that it motivated me to create a second fusion look, dedicated to the wedding season. I am equally excited to share it since its very close to my heart and is by far my best look. So here it is!

Wedding season has knocked our doors again! Reflecting the atmosphere of traditions, cheer and enjoyment, the dazzling decorations, plethora of national and international cuisines, exceptional bride and groom wear, trendy and vibrant ethnic dresses, Indian weddings ooze out the rich, regal and grandeur feels.


For a fashion lover, weddings are a great medium to experiment, examine and showcase their best wardrobe sense. Being an amalgamation of tradition and glamour, Indian wedding outfits are designed to be extremely beautiful and attractive, complimenting the wedding atmosphere.

What is exciting about the current wedding wear trend is the mix and match of Indian and western fashion sensibility. Combining the elements of both East and West, one can implement western styling in their traditional outfits. It’s also a great way to experiment, if you run short of a wedding dress and have an immediate function to attend. What I created for the second part of the fusion series is assembling different western elements with a twist of ethnicity for last minute outfit fix ups.


Strapless corsets and crop tops that work as a blouse and maxi skirts in varied flairs – welcome the new multi-tasking fashion trend. Giving the traditional Indian Lehenga - Choli a twist, I paired a bling corset tube top from Koovs with a floor length maxi skirt in gunmetal color for a modern and sassy look. Having bought this corset top over a year ago, I simply love its versatility. It can be teamed up with a Saree, Skirt, Lehenga, Dhoti or even a Sharara. What sets it apart is the blue stone work which looks vibrant and totally stands out.  









To give it a more Indian feel, I opted for a Bindi and Nath. This was the first time I sported these two iconic Indian beauty elements in my life. I might confess that the combo of Corset- Skirt and Bindi – Nath incepted in my mind, before I was a blogger and I found it to be one bomb look. It exudes out a true fusion and can make you grab eyeballs at any occasion you choose to flaunt it.


The whole trend of corsets as a part of Indian wear was started by Bollywood. Sophie Choudhary walked for Mandira Wirk’s collection in gold Corset Lehenga with Dupatta in one of Indian Bridal Fashion Weeks.  The corset nicely frames the feminine torso and adds a flattering silhouette when paired with flowing bottoms like Lehenga or Skirts. You can add a Dupatta or Stole for a more modest look. 

Since my corset had heavy work, I went for a maxi skirt with subtle sheen. After the storm of heavily bouncy skirts, we are witnessing the crop flairs returning back in trends (though they never disappeared, just took a backseat). The Gunmetal color goes great with all color palettes and thus makes it a wise choice for an Indian occasion. Yet again, my both the pieces are versatile enough to go with variety of garments and cuts.



Coming to the Makeup, I collaborated again with the talented MUA, Sheenu Arora, and as evident through the stills, she has given her best. Giving equally bold and vibrant blue black eyes, she gave me an otherwise subtle makeup with nude lips and light contouring.  Eyes complimented my attire and enhanced the overall beauty.




Jewellery
To showcase a variety of looks, I paired three different kinds of jewellery for you all to take inspiration from. The pieces are from the SAIRAAH Collection.

Look 1: Dainty Nath and Bracelet for a clean look.




Look 2: Going gypsy with oxidized Jewellery for the much trending ‘Banjaran’ look. A statement necklace, nose pin and a disc ring. Corset and tube tops give a great neckline for a statement necklace.




Look 3: Oxidized Silver earrings with an oxidized disc ring



So here was my take on the wedding attires for the second part of my fusion series. I would love to hear your feed backs and thoughts over it as this look is personally very close to my heart.

Be Safe with PEE SAFE #saynotodirtytoilets

Hey people Today I will be talking about something very different from what I usually document on my blog. This is an awareness post concerning the hygiene and safety of women and is highly recommended. It’s in collaboration with PEE SAFE. Public Toilets! Two words that make us cringe, every time our bladder commands to get empty. Playing in our minds a gross and stinky sight. Poor or no infrastructure, zero cleanliness, jammed pot holes, dirty toilet seats and oh! that bad odour... are some common reasons to avoid using public toilets. Fear of catching infections from dirty toilets, make us hold on to our bladders while we hunt for much “cleaner” restrooms in a mall, multiplex, hotels or until we don’t step in the comfort of our own houses. The usage of toilets by several people that belong to different backgrounds and hygiene practices makes an individual come in contact of toilet infections. Since women get in direct contact of toilet seats, they are at the ...

L'oreal White Perfect Range - Night Cream Review (Part 2)

L'oreal White Perfect Night Cream Always elevated to know that I am blessed with a clear skin, it didn’t take me much time to have this feeling for granted. Although a morning ritual was followed religiously, my skin began demanding more attention, which paved way to a general cleansing and moisturizing in night. Slowly and gradually my products shifted from basic to those that addressed specific issues. I face extreme dryness and uneven skin tone and got L’oreal White Perfect Day and Night Cream to its rescue. I reviewed the Day Cream from L’oreal White Perfect Range in my last post ( click here to read ), so here follows my thoughts and first impression about the Night Cream. About L’oreal White Perfect Night Cream The White Perfect Night Cream protects and repairs the skin during night. It is said to reduce dark spots and is whitening in its function (though I am a non believer of skin whitening and all such marketing gimmicks). The L’oreal White Perfect Range...

Innisfree White Tone Up Cream - Review

Innisfree White Tone Up Cream Review Korean brands have taken the global beauty industry by storm. Commonly known as 'K-beauty' in short, the effectiveness of this multi-step beauty regime lies in the belief that "beautiful skin is beauty ". Korean skincare regimens are more involved than your regular quick cleansing and night cream smear. Being a big skincare freak myself, I truly stand by the belief of South Korean beauty rituals. A habit that started with a pure fascination for sheet mask now extends to a 10 step skincare, followed religiously.   I bought the White Tone Up Cream from Innisfree without much thought, can say it was more of an impulsive buy since I have lately been hit with an urge to try anything or everything Korean, when it comes to skincare. Innisfree White Tone Up Cream Review About the Brand: Innisfree is a South Korean natural beauty brand, owned by Amore Pacific . The brand finds its inspiration from the...
