Fashion Panache

Sometimes, or rather, many a times I go on solo trips. Yes, there have been some wonderful instances, when I’ve made some lovely friends out of strangers and usually the chat begins with ‘Please can you click a pic of me?’ and when splitting and moving in our ways, after getting to know each other, we end up taking a group-fie!!! But then some other instances when selfie is the best option. My present phone has a 5MP selfie camera. I’m not much of a selfie person. I hardly take solo selfies. My need for selfie is in 2 categories – when I meet someone I adore or a VIP, I’d like a selfie with him/her and the 2nd, when I’m any interesting location, I’d like to take selfie to document for myself that ‘Yes, I’ve been there’!!! In both cases, I’d like a good clarity of the picture. Though I don’t expect a DSLR clarity, a decent level should do.

Very recently, I saw this ad of Vivo V5 featuring Ranveer Singh. Well, I didn’t care for a new phone but I was attracted to the ad, just coz I saw Ranveer in it, lolz! But then, I was more attracted when I realized it has 20MP selfie camera! It is the first ever 20 Megapixel front camera phone for a good moonlight selfie.'

Here are a couple of selfie disasters that has happened - One type when my face looks humongous when compared to the background which was pointless coz the main purpose of the selfie in those cases where the location (did you even spot the Copenhagen Mermaid behind me?). Another type is when I’m taking a selfie with someone, esp if it’s an important person, but when I’m in a place with bad lighting like a club!

With SONY IMX376 image sensor and moon light flash, Vivo V5 promises an excellent clarity and soft muted lighting that prevents these weird violet tones as well as good clarity in night selfie without giving out a harsh, bright flash. Also there is the inbuilt face recognition and beauty mode which helps in providing nicer final results.

It is a rather interesting phone with an only 13MP as rear camera, but a whooping 20MP as selfie camera. A good selfie stick, that will help me get a good all-over view of my location and the clarity of this phone would prove to be one of the best things for any solo traveler! There have been a couple of posts in this blog, where I managed to do an OOTD post with selfies or mirror selfie!!! Imagine how perfect those would turn out with a 20MP camera clarity? Hoping to lay my hands on this phone to feel its awesomeness, myself! Let’s see!

No matter how many religions are there in the whole big world, they all teach and preach Love!!! I studied at a Christian convent and I'm a Hindu by birth and I know quite a bit of things about both the religions. I'm an avid traveller and I've been to several temples all over India which are several centuries old, several churches, been to a couple of Dargah in Hyderabad and Mumbai, several Jain sites esp. at Pudukottai, a couple of Buddhist sites in Maharashtra, and the Sikh holy site Amritsar Golden Temple and I loved visiting each and every one of these places. Well, don't all these religions teach its followers love, unity and brotherhood????

Errrrr..... Why am I talking about religions in a Fashion blog???? Well, I spotted this gorgeous stained glass print leggings at Romwe and I grabbed it immediately. When I ordered it, I thought of pairing it with plain white top. But then when I received it, I decided to pair it with a Krishna print top. So how's it...?

So, that's the front and back design of the leggings!

And this is the Krishna print top... Once again, just like last post, I made this too out of a rice sack!

You may have noticed the new addition to the buttons under 'Member of..' in the left side bar. The 2nd last is of CBC (Chennai Bloggers Club). A few days back, CBC conducted a contest sponsored by Cuponation, to develop the logo for the group. I did put in my entry and guess what, I won!!! Yippee!!!! Cuponation awarded me with a gift voucher of Flipkart with which I purchased this awesome watch!!! Yeah, its a men's watch, but I really couldn't find such a sturdy, rugged looking watch in women's section!!!

This is the logo I designed. The building depicted in it is one of the main landmarks of Chennai - The Chennai Central Railway Station. Also seen in the logo is CBC is a font that's as crazy as we are and the RSS icon for blog. Later on I developed variations of the logo to suit the genre of the blog. What you see on the left bar is Fashion Blogger button of CBC logo!
