Blue Mania!

Recently the gorgeous Kalyani of Klassy Style Files, hosted a giveaway to celebrate not just her birthday, but also that of her 2 princess daughters, and guess what, I won it!!! Yippee!!! It was not a random computerized pick. Her gorgeous 1yr old daughter picked my name in the lots!!! Isn't that adorable??!!! So here's what she gifted me - a Kvoll satchel bag and Cotton on bangles! Here's how I styled them.

Long back when I was flipping through a magazine I saw a photograph, a portrait of a lady that shook me! 'Shook me' or 'horrified' would be the simplest way to describe my feeling and actually the words wouldn't justify the way I actually felt! I'm pretty sure, you wouldn't be able to put down how you feel, in words! At the first glance, its a normal pic. Then you suddenly begin to wonder, where's her right eye??? Here's that pic...

You know how she got this face??? ACID ATTACK!!! She is Irum Saeed. She is 30. 12 years ago, at a very dreamy age of 18, she was proposed by a boy whom she rejected. The boy threw acid on her face in the middle of the road. Till date she has undergone 25 surgeries to recover from her scars!!! This happened in Pakistan.

She was not the only victim. There have been several like her. After seeing this horrendous-ness, the lovely lady Musarrat Misbah set up an non-profit NGO called Depilex Smile Again.

Recently a jewelry store gifted me this handbag. The quality of the handbag was pretty good and it was made of rexin and faux leather, in red and beige! So I accepted it. However the branding on the handbag was pretty harsh and was printed in white on red. It wasn't elegant too. I've blurred it here in this pic...

When it comes to branding a bag, I prefer the American Tourister way. You know, an elegant single red strip with the logo on it?! I hate it when its blatant and, on the face! If I had to use to bag, I had to do something to make it a bit different! So here's what I did. How's it???

Things used:

1. Rhine stones of different shapes and sizes and colors.

2. Fabric glue (to stick rhine stones in random way to hide the branding)

3. Acrylic paint (I used 4 pearl colors)

4. Paint brush (00 round brush)

Being a Bride's Maid - Style 12

Have you participated in my SUMMER SPL. GIVEAWAY! If not, do NOW!!!

Actually its more of a Wedding Party outfit, than being a Bride's Maid!

You know I'm a sucker for all things gold. But when I spotted this gold sequinned leggings from Romwe, even I felt its indeed quite, very OTT! I really loved it, but the thought of sporting it was indeed a bit overwhelming. But then, why not give it a shot! I kept the rest of the outfit black and simple, to balance the bold gold leggings!
