Also if you remember my post about the new Lavie bags (see HERE), you must have seen this super amazing 4D tote bag !

The Reversible bag is a revolutionary one that gives you four different styles in one piece alone! The bag comes with a tablet sleeve inside which can double up as a sling using the additional straps that come along with the main bag. What’s more is that you can reverse the primary bag by unzipping the sides to give you a completely different bag! This is a must have investment for all the style divas out there as it gives you four designs in one bag!

INR 4240/-

Comes in 2 color options: Coral and Gold, Black and Aztec Print

 Why is it a must have ?

  • Only thing you need to carry on a vacation
  • 4 different styles and ways you can use
  • Mix and match with outfits
  • Spacious
  • Amazing quality (My office Lavie bag is as good as brand new even after daily use from the last 8 months ! )

Its an investment totally worth it !

See my 4 looks with the bag in 4 different ways..

1. Normal Black Tote

2. Unzipped, Reversed and Zipped Again..an aztec print tote !

OOTD: Half Lace Blue And White Dress

OOTD: Half Lace Blue And White Dress
 
Hey everyone,
I am back with an OOTD after a long time..this time I wore this half lace half flared blue and white dress to my friend’s cocktail party..
I love how its half and lace and half like a normal flared high low uneven skirt..with a belt..looks like a separate skirt and top too..

It came with a black belt..and I kept the belt same..I paired it with a neon and bright diamante necklace ( I love this piece to bits..its one of my favorites ! ), a gold hollow cut out bracelet and set of gold rings..

And this super awesome colorful printed pumps..I loved these shoes..but did not expect them the heels to be sooo high..I seriously cannot walk comfortably in them..also may be coz there is no platform at the front..and the foot remains totally curved.. (How the hell do these actresses run, jump and dance in those heels 😮

Dress, Necklace, Bracelet, Rings: Romwe

Freshwater Pearls: Different Colours of Beauty

Freshwater Pearls: Different Colours of Beauty

Uniqueness and originality are the hottest ticket in the jewellery industry. Consumers love the choice of a range of colours to grace their bracelets, necklaces and earrings whether they contain shiny diamonds or elegant pearls. 

The latest trends in jewellery

Freshwater pearls are the latest trend in pearl jewellery. Consumers will be glad to know that they come in a variety of different colours, meaning there’s something for everyone no matter what their style or sensibility. Here we take you through the beautiful differences in tone that these majestic freshwater pearls can display.

Colourful pearls

The colours of pearls vary in colour as much as the people who wear them, but freshwater pearls have the widest possible range of different colours, as well as different shapes. Throughout the history of this precious jewel there have been literally dozens of different naturally occurring colours found in freshwater pearls, all distinct and unique. 

The main colour of a freshwater pearls body can vary between white, cream and coloured, but between these different classifications there are also multiple variations. Orange, yellow, pink and purple pearls can also be formed inside the shells of freshwater molluscs.

Although these variations are the most commonly found colours in freshwater pearl farming, they are by no means the only possibilities. Freshwater molluscs have the ability to produce a full spectrum of colours within their shells, with seemingly endless possibilities for what might be discovered in modern day pearl farming. 

Optical illusions

Freshwater pearls are bestowed their famous shine by way of orient, which is an optical effect created when rainbows of colour beneath the surface of the pearls reflect light. These reflections provide an alluring shimmer effect when seen by the naked eye. This effect can be compared to the well known concept of light reflected by common soap bubbles, an effect created in much the same way. 

This orient effect is found so often in freshwater pearls because of their unique composition, which comprises pure nacre. If freshwater pearls are subsequently dyed a pure black, the orient is enhanced and produces a darker pool of colour, very similar to the appearance of gasoline on a flat surface. 

Freshwater pearls can also produce colourful overtones on their surface, which appear very differently to other types of pearls, and this depends on the quality of the jewel. Lower quality freshwater jewels typically have less of an overtone, whereas high quality pearls can produce rich overtones of rose, blue and brilliant green. 

Where to find pearls

The rarity of some coloured freshwater pearls creates a market of luxury, although their decadence still remains more affordable than other types of pearls. Freshwater pearls are different than other types of pearls because they’re farmed in small rivers and lakes, as opposed to other varieties such as saltwater pearls which are found in larger bodies of water such as oceans.

Mantolin Pearls specialises in the finest range of freshwater pearl jewellery, exuding the brilliant shine and majestic elegance that it’s known for. Mantolin offers beautiful collections of pearl necklaces, bracelets and freshwater pearl earrings.

From the sea to the stars: Natural Pearls

From the sea to the stars: Natural Pearls

Guest Post

Pearl jewellery is a classic, carrying an elegance and majesty that has attracted women of every generation. Very few pieces of jewellery are timeless, but ask any buyer and they’ll tell you, pearls are treasured forever.

Pearls are found in the sea, before being crafted with meticulous care into their exquisite form. There are many imitations, but a true pearl is unmistakable, and natural pearl jewellery has found its way from the waters to the red carpet, time and time again.

Here are some examples of the world’s most iconic fashionistas, wearing some of the world’s most iconic natural pearls.

Jackie Kennedy

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was more than just the first lady to the 35th President of the United States of America, she was an iconic, ambitious woman in her own right.

Jackie’s style influenced an entire nation of young women, especially when she was seen wearing one of her favourite pieces, the pearl necklace. Pearls have never been so popular as when they found their way into the White House.

Coco Chanel

Perhaps the biggest influence in the fashion industry, Coco Chanel was the only name worth knowing once she made her mark on fashion, fragrance, and took the world by storm.

Chanel is unmistakably the highest authority in fashion and style, and takes the up most pride in wearing her signature pearl necklaces. From the red carpet to her own photo shoots, natural pearls were always the perfect compliment to the little black dress.

Madonna 

In reverence of the aforementioned Coco Chanel, Madonna gave her fair share of adoration to natural pearl jewellery as well, as an elegant offset to the little black dress.

The ‘Vogue’ singer was at one point the music industry’s chief influence on fashion and culture, whilst being one of the most successful female solo artists of all time. Madonna left her mark with a style that set her apart from every other singer, and gave her music new meaning.

Lady Gaga

Regarded by many as the new queen of pop, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, didn’t take long after her first hit single before making headlines with her outlandish fashion statements.

Alongside a whole host of outstanding and somewhat controversial outfit choices, Gaga maintained her love of natural pearls, sporting a wide array of necklaces, bracelets and even face-pearls throughout her illustrious and incomparably extravagant career.

Natalie Portman

 

When pearls came to Hollywood, they were worn by the red carpet’s most elegant starlets, one of whom is Academy Award winning actress Natalie Portman.

The ‘Black Swan’ star made headlines when she graced the cover Harper’s Bazaar in October 2006, wearing a beautiful set of natural pearl necklaces. Portman’s cover was a tribute to Audrey Hepburn’s starring role in 1961’s ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’, for which Hepburn wore the same black column dress.

Mantolin Pearls is an online retailer specialising in freshwater pearls, a natural, beautiful type of pearl jewellery. Freshwater pearls are found in rivers and lakes as opposed to the saltwater variety, which are found in oceans. Freshwater pearl jewellery carries the same beauty expected of natural pearls, but they are much more affordable than the commonly worn saltwater pearls.

Mantolin Pearls take inspiration straight from the classics into a beautiful collection of natural freshwater pearl jewellery, combining a selection of elegant white pearls and multicolour pearl jewellery bracelets, necklaces and earrings, creating the perfect compliment to any outfit.

Anyways, coming back to the outfit, you guys saw how I layered my pleated dresses with jackets..leather and denim..HERE and HERE..this sort of simple layering definitely works for a climate like Mumbai..where it is not too cold..but just windy and pleasant..but cold enough for a sweatshirt or a jacket..

I like the gold detailing on the sleeves and collar..I paired it with white pumps and blue statement necklace and neon bracelet and a neon green statement ring..
