The Black Tie by Kelly Ewing : And why they are most preferred.

Christian Dior was the first to use the term "cocktail dress" to refer to early evening wear, in the late 1940s.


A cocktail dress or a gown, is worn at cocktail parties, we all are found of attending or are won during 'black tie' occasions. And speaking of today, dresses like these are much approved over the party dresses for an evening out too. Because, party dresses just don't work in formal situations. Well, cocktail does. 
Cocktail dresses are also called the 'afternoon' dresses. 


The length depends on fashion and local custom. If its summer, its mini. Winters? Its definitely a gown. Rainy? Now, you wouldn't wanna spoil your clothes in that season. 


And not to forget, cocktail dresses/ black tie dresses are very popular with the plus sized women out there. Because, a cocktail dress is  simple, yet formal and elegant. And the plus size women, are usually forgotten by most designers of today who only think that everyone should go tall and slim. And party dresses, these days are not available, except for slim girls. 


Here, is a collection of Black Tie dresses by Kelly Ewing. (2010)


 reminiscent of the lust and drama of a Bronte novel
 This season, I plan to go light.
Grey, has cool and warm feeling. 
 Light Pink, serene and stunning.
 Ruffles. Check.Red and light grey. Check. Bow. Check. Funk, of course.

 The famous, silk purple with black.
 Drape the crowd.
 Golden, for the royal.
 Green belt draped around the waist.
 Classic for a Black Tie.
 The maximum heels to wear at a cocktail or a black tie, are these.
 The  most comfortable and light, of course again.
 Team up with a tiara, of your choice.
 And lockets, that just make your afternoon more special.

Let your cocktail or black tie memory, dressed in a 'moment- to- remember' way.
Because, a women is never overdressed!

This week I am coveting.


Stilletos, Pumps, Cone heels, Prism heels, Flats, Wedge heels. Shoes shoes all around don't know what to choose from? Whatever you choose, they ought to be classy, they ought to be reflecting your beauty. Shoes enhance your soul, they make the perfect Chanel or Versace dress look even better <3. There are so many designer labels that create the startling and stupefying shoes, ALL the girls would happily sell their souls to Satan for the state of the art pumps. The beautiful colors, the mesmerizing shoes dazzle the eyes of a girl. 
At 9 you love the converse shoes and the nike floaters, At 12 you WANT the new ballerina shoes, But at 15 you CANNOT take your eyes off the latest ralph young pumps and the jimmy choo collection. From that girl who plays basket ball to get tall, to that girl who doesn't mind becoming a 6 feet tall debutante with her favorite nina ricci dress. Shoes make the world a better place to live in. I believe so, i know you all do too. :)
xoxo. 

The first day of your internship at W or Vogue. You want to shine, so you put on your  hot but subtle  heels and make everyone go head over heels. 

Silver is the new dazzle. Wear this at a white dress party and you will sparkle.

This is the cinderella shoe. Prince charming won't be so long gone. <3 

For the best shopping day ever. 

Polka dots? They go well with your pastel dresses.


As the summer approach, we know we need to be brighten than sunshine. So put on your yellow peep-toes, eh?

                                                                                                                                                                          -Radha Lamba

Bags, Let's flaunt'em with style.



What is the dream of every teenage fashion sweetheart? 
What is that one thing you just cannot leave your house without?
My answer will forevermore be BAGS. 

How trendy a girl can look carrying a LV or a jimmy choo or a gucci or a prada or what not! 
How in vogue the long bags with a metallic chain look on a girl wearing a simple Forever 21 top and a Guess jeans! 
Just like there's a godfather for everything, we have a godfather for accessorizing what we wear. 
All the girls out there know and comprehend that ONE bag is just not enough! We need a separate one for going out with friends then another one for parties! 

I have searched all the websites for such bags and I gave my heart to these Oh-so-wow bags ! 

EVERYONE needs them :)

Flats: Essential.


Yes I know what the Glam world's about,
who wouldn't Love to own the red sole-Black Mary Jane-Six Inch-Louboutin.
But the word comfort,does not fit in that phrase anywhere.
Well all of us Cannot carry ourselves in Heels, Girls admit it,
its no crime.
You would look far more better and appealing if you manage to walk straight in flats other than stumbling All the way in those heels ,You ruin the effect .
And yes it makes you look dumb.

The shoe world DOES NOT look down upon flats.
And in my suggestion even if it does,
Who cares,you like them ,you wear them,
Dressing up should be an art for you,it shouldn't be as tough as trignometry Really.
What I really wanted to convey was There's no war between Heels and Flats.
They are on the very Same side.

The exequisite Ballerina shoes which have very thin heel,just to give an impression of no heel at all,
Is very parisian and chic.
Jimmy Choos's New collection Is all about Flats,
Yes you heard it right.
Jimmy Choo.

From calfskin leather to PVC.
He's used all kinds of Material and colours according to everyone's taste.

My Favourites were :







Whoever Said,
Heels do the Job for a party.
The answer is this.
Its perfect for either an elegant dinner or A Karaoke <3

| Fashion Photography Saga : Know It.


Yeah, I know the smart ones like HATE fashion.
Well, because they think its vast and stupid.
But, I love fashion.
And wanna tell them , that fashion brings out who you are.
They think fashion photography is just plain crazy. Only for slim and slender models.
Well, baby you're just jealous. coz you can't be in those heels.
And why?
Because you SO don't deserve them.
Why?
Because you just hate fashion, didn't you?

Fashion Photogtraphy's meaning is seen by the people of fashion. Not just SOMEONE.
Traveling to exotic locations is one of many perks you might enjoy as a fashion photographer. While you may also find yourself shivering on top of a glacier a time or two, fashion photography is a creative job that won't keep you chained to a desk all day. Fashion Photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items. Fashion photography is most often conducted for advertisements or fashion magazines such asVogueVanity Fair, or Elle. Over time, fashion photography has developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are enhanced by the presence of exotic locations or accessories.

And I just love it. <3

I like my money right where I can see It, hanging In my closet.


Dresses.
Are considered essential to a complete wardrobe by many women and fashion observers, who believe it's a "rule of fashion" that every woman should own a dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
And, well that is what people say !

Selon moi,
Dresses are the unanimous symbol of Chic.
A girl aged five to a woman aged 85 all look their best in a dress.
Wear to the church or the café.
Be it your quinceanera or your Graduation.
You can pull off a dress.

Till early times dresses were symbolic to Royalty.
Now, it's symbolic to Blair Waldrof <3.
Coco Chanel in 1920s introduced the Little Black Dress. And, the rest is history.
Who would have loved Audrey Hepburn if she appeared in her movies in frumpy tees and jeans :/
Well, NOT me for sure !


We all love them.
We all HAVE them.
Well, they are like our de rigueur in the closet ;)
