Get Fancy With Recycling | Saree Got A Makeover

Get fancy with Saree
It’s not every day that your inner bugs, set you on a wardrobe cleansing spree. Well, seems like I get hit by them quite often and that is just not limited to my own dresser drawers but eventually take all family members in the trap. Also, there is so much to explore and find fashion inspirations beyond your own territories. Or else, how do you think I styled my brother’s shirt in one of the past series? (click here to read)

Turn saree into a crop blouse.
So one fine day, I came across my mom’s beautiful silk green saree with little intricate prints, spread all over 9 yards. It was love at first sight. Obviously I never saw her donning it and knew it was just a piece of cloth that had no purpose to serve.

Old clothing often just sits in our wardrobes, taking up the space we could be using for clothing we actually wear. You might think of tossing it out or giving it away, but how often do you really have the motivation to revamp them in something purposeful. Also the fact that textile waste is rising at alarming rates (give credits to the dynamic trends in fashion), we all need to do our bit to save the green globe. 

Saree in a coat dress

Chic & Co.
As you all would know by now that I love customizing and designing my dresses. 
Hence, I decided to revamp the gorgeous green drape, in a two piece set, consisting of a crop blouse and a coat. The makeover turned out to be absolutely chic and stylish. 

Chic & Co.
I absolutely loved the two way utility of the dress. Style the crop blouse alone for places where you need a glam quotient in your outfit. 


            

Want to exude more polished vibes? Go grab that coat and style with your formal lowers for an added sophistication. 

     

Here in the shoot, I styled the two piece set with a black bodycon skirt to help them grab all the eyeballs.

💜 Styling tip: Pair a clothing element you wish to highlight, with neutral colors like black, beige, gray, ivory, taupe or white that helps in shifting attention to brighter color palettes.



I further paired red thread earrings to my look for a punch of quirk. Black high heeled peep toes gave it an overall clean and glam appeal.  


I must say the experiment did turned out well giving me some major fashion moment. So what's the wait girls? Hunt down the forgotten sarees resting in stacks and let your imaginations run wild. 
Much Love
Hina Rehan 💜

Benefit Watt’s Up! Soft Focus Highlighter Review

Hello my chiclets! If you have been keeping up with my blog for a while now, you might have guessed my craze for highlighters. It’s that one product which came in my life two years ago when I was all gaga over the contouring trend. But while I am not sure whether I’ll keep up with the whole contouring fiasco for long, highlighters with no second thought have made to my “forever in vanity” list.😍 Like seriously, how can you not love something that alone can give you a contoured face with a healthy glow and make your overall features standout. I shared a highlighter hack in my last blog post  and many of you loved it, for which I am always grateful. This time I have reviewed for you all, the cult favorite, Benefit Watt’s Up SoftFocus Highlighter. It’s a creamy stick ‘champagne’ highlighter that gives a dewy, healthy glow to the face and does not look like made up sheen. While the world is going crazy over 3D & Kylie highlighters which promise to bless you with a gl...

Denim on Denim Trend Ft. Ed Hardy x Forever 21

Hi loves! Wish you all a very Happy Independence Day and Krishna Janmashtmi! Hope you all are enjoying the two occasions to fullest. There is nothing we love more than keeping ourselves updated with hot fashion trends. Long hours of net surfing, stalking our favorite celebrities and fashion icons, long chit chats over phone about trends breaking the internet, feeling the need of revamping your wardrobe every two months ‘coz you feel ughh! So outdated….endless sprees to malls and our favorite shops!! There is so much we put in to be in our fashionable best.  But while it gets little impractical to glorify every fad story ...some trends really grab an eye and stays for long in fashion world and on streets. The Denim on Denim trend aka The Canadian Tuxedo trend (flashback 90s!) made a HUGE comeback last year and proved to be a fashion dip of 2017, after stripes. Considered a faux pas for so many years, this trend was suddenly on everyone’s vogue list. First see...

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation Review

Hey all, It’s a lovely day and I am up with yet another makeup product review. This time it’s the Make Up For Ever (MUFE) HD High Definition Foundation. MUFE HD Foundation promises high definition coverage, with a natural makeup finish, making you look flawless. Its an oil-free, medium to full coverage liquid foundation that looks invisible on-screen and in real life. Foundation is a key in pulling everything together for a flawless makeup application. Before I was a beauty blogger – before I even knew there was such a thing as beauty blogger, I was a normal girl with tremendous love for makeup. Over the years, I have tried more than my share of foundations from drugstore to high-end to professional. While I tossed out many, some made way to my beauty kit. That being said, I always had certain issues with all of them, some being cakey, others being dry or oxidizing. I wanted a foundation that provided me medium to full coverage but feels light on skin and does not o...
