I am doing an outfit post after ages! I didn’t shoot anything new since Sept, almost 5-6 months apart from 1-2 campaigns in between which were not proper outfit shoots as such.
My photographer was busy with weddings and I wasn’t too keen in between. I had a bunch of things to shoot this time from this dress, to shoes and bag. I have also shopped a lot in the past 2-3 months from ShopBop, Zara and online H & M and Lulu & Sky, so expect more shoots and posts 😀
We did three outfits this time, and the first one was this. It’s a little difficult to get the venue and match the availability of photographer, venue and me i.e. on days when I don’t have events, shoots or any family stuff. So shooting 2-3 outfits at one go works best. But after two changes and clicking the third outfit, it gets a bit tiring :p
So anyhoo, coming back to this bright orange dress! I love yellow and orange, they are my favourite colours, apart from red. Anything bright and colourful and I am instantly attracted. I am loving mustard yellow, sunflower yellow, this orange and all sunset hues this summer (in fact, all year round :D)
This orange straight fit dress is from Afamado. It’s neither a shift dress nor a tight bodycon, but a straight, comfortable fit which hugs your body but doesn’t cling it.
Afamado has sizes from S to 6XL, so you can be any size and still you can get the dresses and they even have a ‘Made to Measure’ option where they can customize the outfit for you as per your exact measurements.
When I got this dress initially, it was quite loose and then they altered it for me. I lost some weight and it’s still a little loose, I clipped it from behind so that it gives a better fit 😀 But basically, it’s a boon for people who do not find the correct size in clothes as per their body type or have basic, boring things which they never like.
I love the interesting cold shoulder ruffled sleeves it has. I am not into sleeveless clothing, and this works perfectly for me. It’s not see through or sheer and I didn’t have to layer anything underneath.
Truffle Collection
I paired it with nude bow design shoes from Truffle Collection, these are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and I have many! I am not comfortable wearing heels for a long period of time, but these I can wear. They are super comfortable and light weight, does not give any shoe bites plus look so cute! They work with everything from dresses to denims.
Loeffler Randall
I chose this colourful Loeffler Randall sling with round pom pom kind of floral work on it. This bag is super cute and colourful and even though the dress is bright, the shoes were nude and the accents of this bag matched the dress well as it had orange too.
Overall I really liked this outfit and how it came through. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below 🙂
Also I am looking for something lemon print, top or dress, do let me know if you find it :p
These days we have the pleasure of online shopping, be it clothes, makeup or anything essential can be easily delivered to your doorstep within few days. Shoes are also one of the most important parts of your outfit and thus women also look for shoes online. Online shopping in India for shoes will save you the hassle and time. However, a lot of people hesitate to buy shoes online. This is because shoe shopping feels like a ‘touch and try kind of an experience’. If the shoes are not comfortable, you can’t wear them on any occasion and the whole purpose of buying those shoes you loved is down the drain. However, here are some quick tips and tricks to follow to buy shoes for women in India.
• The perfect size – Sizing in shoe shopping matters a lot and especially while purchasing shoes online. Every website provides you with a chart and one should try to follow that. But before you move forward, I want to tell you that the size varies from brand to brand. For e.g. If you are size 34 in one brand, you may be size 35 in another. Also, it varies from design to design. To have the perfect fit, take a blank sheet of paper, pencil and ruler measure the feet wearing a sock. Place the foot down on the sheet and get the perfect shape by outlining with the pencil and then measure accordingly with the rule. Keep this sheet with you every time you are shopping for shoes. This is very helpful in purchasing shoes online.
• Shopping Website – Always choose a website you feel is trustworthy and reliable. There are various websites online for shoes but most of them do not deliver what they promise. Look for the reviews and decide accordingly. Also, if your favourite shoe brand has its own website, then definitely go for that. This guarantees the perfect fit because you have already tried the shoes, own them and know your size.
• Look for the return policy – Every shopping website for clothes and shoes should have a proper return policy because size matters in these cases. If the shoes do not have the perfect fit, they are useless. Therefore, before purchasing shoes online, always check the return policy of the website, the terms and conditions attached and the number of days within which you have to return.
• Shoe material – We are often disillusioned by the amazing look of a pair of shoes and we forget to check the material. Not every pretty shoe is going to have the most amazing and comfortable material. Sometimes, a particular material irritates the skin or causes extreme shoe bites which makes it very uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, always check the material before purchasing online. If it is not listed, you can call up the customer service to ensure the same.
• Images – The more the images enlisted on the website, the better it is. While shopping online, choose a website where different images of the particular shoe are presented with various perspectives so that you can choose easily. It also helps you to evaluate the material and fit better.
• Reviews – Reviews and ratings are extremely important. If you have any doubts regarding a product, then try reading extensive reviews and ratings. This enables you to judge the product or in fact check the credibility of the online brand. This is also very helpful if you are purchasing shoes online for the first time from a specific brand. People often mention if it runs larger, smaller or are true to size.
• Try it on – It is advisable to try the shoe right away when you receive the order. While trying, wear socks so that the fit can be checked perfectly. Even when you are shopping at stores physically, try wearing socks for shoe trial for comfort and fit.
• Indoor trial – While you are trying the shoes purchased online, try walking indoors to avoid any damage. Although most websites provide a return policy, it comes with a clause that the shoes must not be damaged, soiled or the tags torn. Therefore, do not pull up the sticker or tear apart the tags and always try indoors.
So these are some tips for shopping shoes for women online in India without any hassle. Next time you see an amazing deal or a chic pair of shoes, follow these tips to purchase without any hesitation.
I recently got my hands on the new A/W’17 collection from Recap Jeans. A skinny fit denims and a super pretty blue and black printed off shoulder top.
I folded the denims a little to give the ankle length look, also the black contrast at the ankle looked chic.
The top was really comfortable and I absolutely loved the fabric, something I can wear comfortably all through the day and seasons, even in a humid city like Mumbai.
I am not much into skinny jeans, I like the straight fit more, but this was surprisingly comfortable. I didn’t feel suffocated and it is super stretchy, so even while bending/sitting, it was all fine.
I paired the outfit with a bamboo bag and rose gold pumps.

I have been meaning to do this post since a while and each time it gets delayed due to something. Finally sat down to post this.
I love colours, I am sure you know already. Purple, Pink, Orange, Yellow, all bright coloured dresses/tops are my favourites! I get instantly attracted to sunshine yellow, bright orange, deep purple and many a times in online shopping, the end product doesn’t turn out to be as bright as you expected it to be and saw on screen.
I saw this deep purple lace dress and loved it. I ordered it and was hoping for it be shown. Thankfully it was 🙂
I paired it with a gold layered choker neck piece and nude Steve Madden pumps. Since the outfit is bright, I kept rest of the things neutral. I am majorly into tan/nude/black when it comes to shoes and bags because I know I go for bright outfits mostly and the balance is always maintained.
I also wore the nerdy geek aviators that are quite IN and everywhere these days. I just wanted to give it a try and loved them on me. I usually don’t like sunglasses on my face, hence you don’t see me wearing them often even though I have quite a few.
The highlight of this look along with the dress is the new LakmexMasaba Lip Pout in Role-A-Cola, the purple lips went perfectly with the dress.
I hope you liked the look, do let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
Another OOTD for you. I love midi dresses, especially these flared kinds. They look very flattering on all body types.
White and Red is one of my favourite combination, this dress had red abstract print on white base. It’s from Dainty Jewells. They have a beautiful collection of dresses, available in a large variety of sizes. Also a lot of bridesmaid dresses.
I paired it with my gold watch, tan sling and nude strappy heels. Since the dress was bright enough, I kept the accessories neutral as otherwise the colors would clash and be too loud.
Dress: Dainty Jewells
Heels: Zara
Bag, Watch: Michael Kors
Earrings: House of Tuhina

Editor’s Note: Agree with this list Sanchita, thankfully I do have all of these :p But I prefer platform heels and not very high heels as they are not the most comfortable currently for me. I gave 4-5 of my very high heels to my cousin who loves them
So as I have become more active on Snapchat and Instagram, I am doing less of outfit posts here and less of vlogs too, coz I show the outfit and the event videos on Instagram and Snapchat respectively.
But I decided to post this one on the blog. I got this abstract print overlapping shift dress from StalkBuyLove recently, I showed it my latest YouTube Haul Video HERE
I wore this outfit for the Splash Spring/Summer Collection Preview recently. I paired this dress with my gold block heels and blue Michael Kors sling and gold Michael Kors watch. Also added a stretchable gold belt to give the waist some definition.
I love the overlap effect and the abstract print. Also the fact that it’s half sleeves, this dress is something which can be worn for multiple occasions like a formal affair or a casual day out.

So I had this powder blue ‘Flying Kisses’ Jumpsuit from StalkBuyLove since a long time, but never got a chance to wear it, finally I wore this to the Oppo F1 Plus Launch event in Delhi.
We were staying at The Lalit and we clicked the pics there. Magali helped me with the pics.
To start with, I love the powder blue colour of this jumpsuit, and it’s perfect for this Spring/Summer. I paired the jumpsuit with my Steve Madden clogs and a deep navy blue Michael Kors sling.
Also my recent addition the new Daniel Wellington watch in Classic Durham. If you don’t already know, I am obsessed with Daniel Wellington watches and have about 4 now, with 2 new additions making it 6. Durham is the new launch in the Classics range of 36mm. And as always I go for Rose Gold Dial. The light brown American Leather strap makes it ideal to pair with a lot of outfits from casual to formal. They have also launched the new ‘Dapper’ range which is slightly smaller i.e. 34mm and has blue hands and also displays date. I got the Bristol in Dapper which you will be seeing a lot on my Instagram.
I also have a flat 15% off Daniel Wellington coupon code ‘DWBHUMIKA’ and it is valid till 31st May. They have free shipping worldwide, I do recommend getting a Classic or Dapper, as they work with everything and having at least one Daniel Wellington watch in your collection is a must, especially if you are a watch collector/lover.
I kept the outfit in shades of blue with tan shoes and watch. The idea was to keep jumpsuit the focus here, you can always use a pop of colour in your shoes or bag or accessories. The same jumpsuit is available in 2-3 different colors, so you can check those out if you prefer a darker color.
