Creating a classic holiday outfit with trend and twist

   As much as I love holidays and dressing up, it can be daunting to choose the right outfit at the same time. Whether to follow the trend or stay on the classic route. Mix both, and the result can be amazing. Mixing classic with the trend is always a good idea because you can use pieces from your existing closet. It can save both time and money. We love classic pieces, but there's no denying that sometimes they can be boring or lack interest. Here, you can find help from the latest trends.   Here is my outfit. I am wearing a black skirt, and most of us probably own a long black skirt. Mine is with raffles, which are visually more interesting, and a crisp button-down white shirt with a statement sleeve. For a pop of color, I am wearing a red pump and a gold chain flap bag. Of course, for this look, a bold red lip is a must, but you can also wear neutral makeup. Hope you are having a great festive time with family and friends. I hope to bring you more looks like this....

Behold the last bit of fall in Clark Farms, Granby, Connecticut

   Seems like the fall season almost passed by in the blink of an eye. Good times always pass by without knowing, and I am always thankful that this fall season in Connecticut is exceptionally beautiful. I haven't seen such lovely colors in the last 20 years of my stay in Connecticut. We just can't let go of the fall season; we're not yet ready to greet winter. As I mentioned, the fall season is almost over here, but the fallen leaves and fruits have such beauty. This weekend, we visited Clark Farms and caught the last bit of beauty of the fall. It was a wonderful day. I captured some wonderful snaps and shared them here. It was a magical view of the landscape with rolling hills and fallen apples surrounded by red barns. 

Simple Diwali look

Hope you all are doing well. You can enjoy the fantastic weather if you are on the East Coast. We had a lovely Diwali celebration at home. It was low-key but certainly beautiful, with a lot of family time and good, old-fashioned homemade food. I had a variety of Indian sweets and other indulgent treats, which I still enjoy. And we are almost at the last day of October. I just got caught up in the festivities and fall foliage, and I don't feel like letting it go. Anyway, I'm sharing some pictures of our home's Diwali celebration. Wearing a cotton apple green salwar kameez with organza dupatta and rose hand floral prints. I love the delicious color of the suit and the dark statement lips for a festive feel; otherwise, it's an easy, breezy, simple outfit. A loose, messy hair bun and some roses, of course. Hope you like this simple Diwali look.  

4 Instagrammable places Stowe, Vermont

   New England and its iconic fall foliage season; if you are in Stowe, you probably should thank your stars because this is the place that truly turns into a fall wonderland. True synonyms of New England Charm and beauty are engulfed in crimson vistas, displaying dotted colors against the backdrop of green mountains, barns, and farms; everything is magical here.  Last year I blogged about the best places to visit in Stowe, Vermont and this year I will take you through the best instaworthy places where you can take the best pictures while smitten by the beauty of fall foliage.   1. Grand View Barn—Barns are a quintessential part of Vermont's beautiful landscape, and the Grand View Barn is something that you just can't miss. A 100-year-old structure, now protected under the Stowe Land Trust, is situated on a steep hill and surrounded by Hogback Mountain. A long, narrow passage on the side makes it look  like a postcard....

Something new Something old Indian festive outfit 1

       New England has been wonderful these days, weather-wise. I love how the sultry summer beautifully transitions into fall, with its vibrant leaves, rich flavors, cozy boots, and layers. Lots on my mind, as India celebrates a glorious festive season thousands of miles away, and I feel the festive vibes here.  Buying balloons with my  Dad , the jingling of colorful bangles in the stores, and how our small town decked up are now distant memories.   Celebrating festivities in India has its own charm, whether it's the food, the hustle and bustle, or the natural transitions. Nevertheless, I love to dress up for Indian festivities. As you may know, I have a fondness for old and classic pieces. There is so much potential to dress them up in many ways, and it never fades with time. I am always attracted to pieces that have a vintage appeal. I love this old pair of back Mekhela chadar . Even though black is usually not considered a quintessential festive co...

Albright college Fashion Department 8 Collections Runway Show NYFW S/S23

  NYC is always full of chaos, hustle, and bustle, yet you will always love to come to this robust and romantic city. Attending fashion week is a little stressful and tiring at the end of the day, but it is always an unparalleled experience that words can hardly do justice to. This is my last post on NYFW. Here are the 1st post and 2nd posts . This show was a little unexpected as it did not exactly tell what the designers were going to show. This show features 8 designers, all of whom are students and teachers. As the show unfolded, I was in awe. I loved how an array of design cuts was displayed. I loved this illustrious collection as everyone brought something different to the table.    What I wore...I wore a voluminous, deep brown, embroidered dress with hand embroidery, a belt, and a light camel-colored pump, paired with dark red lips. Behind creating this look is the classic, and so NYC merges into an autumn vibe. I hope you love this look.
