leher

Hey guys , we are back with the second blog of our print series. Last time we styled stripes, but this time we went for a more Indian fabric - LEHERIYA.

Leheriya is a traditional style of tie and dye practiced in Rajasthan that result in brightly colored cloth with distinctive patterns. the technique gets its name from the Rajasthani word for 'WAVE' .

Leheriya has been worn by women over the ages now and has been a Bollywood favourite .

We personally love leheriya as a print. we used leheriya dupttas with western outfits to keep the balance between modern and traditional going.

LOOK 1

we used a multi colored leheriya dupattas for the look . generally multicolored fabrics are difficult to style so we kept our outfits monotonous,so that no colors of the dupatta clash with the outfit. We used a beige straight pants along with a white crop top. the duppatta was draped around the neck. As the colors of the outfits were subtle all the colors of the duppatta showed beautifully.For the jewelry we used the earcuff on the top of the ear and big dangler earrings , a kada and few rings. the classic white shoes to complete the look. For makeup the eyes were kept soft and brown with pink lips. This look can be easily worn to college and is a perfect street-style look.
PS : you can drap duppatta in whatever style you want .

LOOK 2

For this look we had bright orange leheriya dupatta in mind so we decided to style it with something that would not overpower the color of the dupatta. So we chose a black below the dress with a large tan belt. This dress was too long for our liking so we decided to knot it up from one side. te belt gave definition to the waist as well a held dupatta in place. Since the dress was black the dupatta was in its full glory . the jewelry gave a tribal look to the outfit with little choker , kada, and a nose pin. Our favorite chunky boots completed the look.

Hope you like the blog .

STRIPY BABY

Hey guys, how is it going? Hope you guys liked our previous blog wherein we DIYed the jacket. This time we have again come up with a series. We will be doing three blogs in this series. The title itself would have given you the idea that it has something to do with prints.

So our next series is all about prints. We will be style three different prints which will have a BOHO touch to it.

"STRIPES ARE A STAPLE IN YOUR WARDROBE

- THEY'RE A CLASSIC, LIKE CAMO."

- GIOVANNA BATTAGLIA ENGLEBERT

So as the title suggests our first print is STRIPES. Stripes easily found everywhere around the world . It has also been in trend from pas few years .They are available in almost every girls wardrobe. But stripes are the print which are tricky to style , they can sometime overpower the look. We wanted to do something different so we styled striped sarees.

SAREES ARE A CLASSIC AND NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE.

LOOK 1

For this look we used a multi color saree with combination stripes on it. This saree had a detailing of balanced stripes just above the border. This saree in particular was a little tricky to style as there are bright colors in it. Whenever you want to style something which has bright color or has many color wear simple accessories and makeup. A full sleeved red t-shirt was used as blouse .The cold rimmed eyes and soft pink lipstick and a big red bindi was used for makeup. The jewelry was kept minimal bronze jhumkas and bangles were stacked. The bronze jewelry matched the border of the saree which complimented the look. We had a very limited amount of bronze jewelry so we skipped the necklace and decided to do a tattoo. Basically we tried to do a Bengali look inspired by PARO (from devdas) . Also we used blue sneakers as footwear to give it a modern look.

LOOK 2

For look two we styled a pink cotton saree with self printed pin stripes. This saree was rather easy to style . We used a plain white crop top as blouse. Crop top and t-shirts as blouses are quite a rage.

White crop top also emphasizes the color of the saree. The saree is quite simple so we decided to go heavy on the jewelry and makeup. The eyes were kept nude with heavy liner n kajal and lips were kept dark with reddish mauve lipstick. A silver oxidised choker and silver dangler earrings and kadas for both hands. We used white shoes to compliment the color of the blouse. Here we tried to do a traditional yet modern wedding guest look.

HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THE BLOG. STAY TUNED MORE !!!

DO IT YOURSELF(DENIM JACKET)

WHEN YOU BUY AN OUTFIT,
YOU OWN IT.
BUT WHEN YOU DIY IT,
YOU MAKE IT YOUR OWN.

For this blog, we upgraded a simple denim jacket into a fun and boho one. When you DIY an simple outfit you can express yourself. Denim jacket has been quite a rage in the past few years so we decided DIY it. The bonus is that this whole thing is under 1000 rupees which quite affordable for college going girls.

So we bought a denim jacket from Colaba for 500 rupees. We used different trims and laces to give it the boho look.We glued on laces on the hem of the jacket with the help of fabric glue. For the back side of the jacket we laces of different colours and embroideries so that patch would stand out.

You could use any laces that you want or that you already have. We covered the sides of that patch with pom pom trims.

For the front side we glued on tassels on buttons and stuck kodi shells to the sides of the pockets and above the patch pockets. You need not do the exact same things as we did. You can modify, add or remove things according to your preferences.
