Short Prom Dresses Anyone?

In my previous post I spoke about Prom dresses by Persunmall, a fantastic online store which has a variety of long and short prom dresses. Now for Prom, the length of your dress can really change your look, you can either go dramatic in a long gown or keep it young and sweet in a short dress. Personally, I would wear a short dress with a high low hem to prom, since the mullet skirt is a trend I still cant get enough of! Here are some cute short prom dresses  I found on Pinterest -

Prom Season is here and this is the one time when every girl wants "The Perfect Dress". When it comes to choosing a color for your Prom dress, nothing can beat the elegance of white. So, for Prom 2013, I recommend Persunmall, a fantastic online store which has a collection of divine white prom dresses which will make sure that you've got all eyes on you. Every dress is handcrafted with high-quality fabrics and threads in rich textures. Many of their dresses also feature details like fabulous beading work, exquisite handmade embroidery or exquisite appliques that take their elegant and classic designs from pretty to breathtaking. I personally loved the ruched detailing on their dresses as it looks lovely and creates a figure-flattering silhouette. The ruching is also done by hand to create the perfect shape and fullness on each dress, as you can see from the fit below.

One Hundred Degrees Hotter - Part 2

In my previous post I told you about One Hundred Degrees, a great boutique in Pune which has some amazing and unique pieces. So today I'm gonna show you two more styles that I decided to cover from their latest collection.   

Look One - Maxi Dress

Come summer and all we want is flowy chiffon dresses and a printed maxi dress is most comfortable and elegant item you need to make an easy breezy outfit. Just add the right accessories and you're good to go.

I'm wearing a vibrant printed maxi dress with a trendy high low hem and am carrying a lovely golden oversized clutch, both from One Hundred Degrees. Because of its cut, print and fit, this dress is comfortable and perfect for a summer brunch and is great if you do not want to reveal too much.

Look Two - Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl

Most girls around the world will agree with me that Blair Waldorf is one of the most well dressed characters on television. I love her sophisticated, ladylike and preppy style and even did a post on her a few years ago. 

Her look needs no introduction. Does it? 

To see more on her style check out http://fashionismyonlydrug.blogspot.in/2012/01/get-look-blair-waldorf.html

Okay so I decided to go all cutesy and wore these houndstooth print high waist shorts with a floral top. I accessorized it with Blair's trademark headband and added a cute candy colored colorblock purse, all from One Hundred Degrees.

100 Degrees Hotter - Part 1

One Hundred Degrees is one of the few stores from Pune which I absolutely adore. I've been shopping there for a couple of years now so I'm delighted to show you two trends I recently decided to cover from their latest collection.   

Trend One - Printed Satin Pants

Printed satin pants look chic and make a great statement piece. You can either keep the top simple with a great cardigan, leather bomber or sheer blouse or opt for something bright and wild like Isaac Mizrahi and Dries Van Noten. They've been seen on runways and celebrities like Emmanuelle Chriqui and since they're not so commonly available, they are perfect for fashionistas who like to experiment with their look.

 I chose to try a day look and teamed the satin pants with a simple green top with an embellished neckline. You can pair these pants with prints for absolute drama or a solid colored lighter top for the day.

Trend Two - Evening Jumpsuit

Offering the high-fashion complexity of two pieces with the ease of one, an evening jumpsuit is a great outfit for a night out when you don't want to wear a dress and look like the rest of the crowd. Jumpsuits are the easiest way to stay on trend and present a poised presentation. Because of this, they are often worn by Hollywood celebrities, as you can see below -

Here, I am wearing a sophisticated two tone jumpsuit which I paired with a dark blue box clutch, both from One Hundred Degrees. This look is perfect for a formal evening dinner. All you need to do is add red lipstick!

Styling Ideas - Maxi Skirt

I always steered clear from maxi skirts but thanks to a recent maxi dress one of my sponsors sent me (post coming soon) along with the fact that I've seen short people often pull off them at ease, I've decided to finally get myself a maxi skirt, with a cutout of course! Check out a few style tips on wearing a maxi skirt. There are various styles of maxi skirts out there which will fit for your style.

Here are four looks you can achieve with a maxi skirt -


Boho Look: With a sexy side slit and in sheer chiffon a flowy top paired with a maxi skirt is a great daytime look with an effortless boho vibe.

Sexy Look: Go for a maxi skirt with a curved front slit for a sexy raw party look. 

Glam and sexy in a maxi skirt

Chic Look: Wear a bright maxi skirt with assymetrical slits and colorblock your outfit for a chic and vibrant look.

Edgy Look: As they say, when in doubt wear black! Choose a plain black one or a printed one like the picture below and team it with a black top for an edgy look with a maxi skirt.
