Mumbai Outfits: A Round Up So Far

As you all know, I’m currently in Mumbai where the sun is shining and the weather is always warm. I haven’t had a chance to shoot any looks for you yet (the key word being yet – I have some awesome things coming!) but I’ve been getting so many amazing responses from you guys about my outfits on Instagram (and questions too!) that I’ve done a round up here of my outfits from the last week!

Look #1

For my first day back I just wanted to be comfortable and relaxed. I went for this ruffled shirt from Topshop – the ruffles added so much volume to such a simple look! I paired the shirt with some denim shorts and a pop of colour through my shoes and bag!

Shirt: Topshop

Shorts: Rag & Bone

Shoes: Claudie Pierlot (super similar ones here and similar ones here too!)

Bag: Hermes

Look #2

For this look I wanted to keep things as simple as possible because I knew I was running errands for most of the day (and my dentist appointment! ) I also decided to rummage through my closet here and I found this super old jacket that I decided to style for a casual day look! I also opted for my Kapten & Son watch, which is really simple and sleek and a bit more casual for errands than my Cartier! Everyone needs a watch like that!

Jacket: Topshop – a similar one here and another great blazer here in a similar colour but with a cool pattern

Jeans: Paige

Belt: Claudie Pierlot (you guys loved this!)

Shoes: Charlotte Olympia

Bag: Louis Vuitton

Look #3

This has been my favourite look so far! I put my hair up in a sort of retro do just for a chance which I loved – something I want to do when the weather is warmer in London! I also love this dress – I tend to opt for a lot of dresses during the warm weather because they are easy to wear and look great!

Sunglasses: Sunday Somewhere

Scarf: Hermes

Dress: Maje – a similar styled dress here, a beautiful lace version here, and a lovely patterned one here.

Shoes: Casadei

Top: Maje

Pants: Topshop – similar ones here

Shoes: No 21 – get the flat version here

Sunglasses: Sunday Somewhere

Bag: Chanel

Look #4

For a casual lunch out with my mum I went for these gorgeous pleated pants – they were so breezy and easy to wear! I paired them with this maje summer top and my favourite mules! You guys loved these satin No 21 mules – satin shoes are really in style for 2017 so I would grab your pair ASAP. They also have flat versions!

Look #5

Another easy dress that looks amazing is this Veda Raheja piece. I know the length is longer than what I usually wear but I love how elegant it looks. Plus the cut at the bottom is so chic! Paired again with my favourite heels, I was ready for a day out!

Dress: Veda Raheja

Sunglasses: Sunday Somewhere

Shoes: No 21 – get the flat version here

Look #6

This was taken today when I went to meet my super talented friend Suhani from Misho Designs. I loved the colour of this dress – it just did all the talking for me! I also had my hair braided and I put it up in a braided bun ! It was a super easy look to create and just immediately made the whole ensemble chicer!

Sunglasses: Sunday Somewhere

Dress: Zara – this one is literally almost the same as the one I have on, this one is a longer version of it, and this one is a similar colour!

Shoes: Claudie Pierlot (super similar ones here and similar ones here too!)

I love being able to share all these looks with you! If there are any details about the outfit that you want that I haven’t included, just leave it in the comments and I’ll be happy to help!

Monday Brief #2

And another Monday….

Hello from very sunny, humid and tropical Mumbai! It’s been such a nice week to be back where I grew up, spending time with family, old friends and of course checking out all the awesome spots! (I’m going to have a post about all my favourite spots in Bombay super soon! Stay tuned!)

This Past Week…

I flew to India and landed in to Mumbai (I still call it Bombay though..) on Tuesday! The weather is such a pleasant change from the intense cold of London and I am just loving being able to wear shorts again. I’ve been getting so much love from you guys about my outfits this past week in India and I’m going to do a round up of what I have been wearing tomorrow! (Stay tuned!)

Highlight of the week: I had the opportunity to also meet one of my favourite designers, Naresh from the duo: Shivan & Naresh, and go through their new collection with him!

Other than eating home food (Oh my God… so much butter chicken you guys…) I’ve been doing a little bit of shopping (of course!) and have found the cutest stores for everyone to check out if they are every here – in fact a lot of these stores ship internationally so going to be covering this in a post too! My dear friend also opened his new cafe, Port, which has some of the best coffee in Bombay and the most amazing Nutella cookies!

Speaking about travelling, I recently did a post all about how to pack your carry on in the most efficent and stylish way! Don’t forget to read about it here. If you’re still trying to find somewhere to get some Christmas presents, don’t worry I’ve got some great gift guides here, here, here and here!

This Upcoming Week…

Guys do I really need to say it? It’s CHRISTMAS TIME! I hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit and I have lots of super fun christmas and holiday parties to attend! Keep up with me on my Instagram!

New in this Week…

This week I am obsessed with this beautiful skirt from Deme by Gabriella (which is currently being altered for me! Woohoo!) The colour is so flattering and easy to wear whenever! I am also obsessed with this swimsuit from Shivan and Naresh – It is never too early to start buying swimsuits so get one that you know everyone else won’t have! I actually got this one in a beautiful blue! Last but not least, cannot resist a gorgeous printed dress, like this one from Monisha Jaising.

On the Wishlist..

In celebration of Pantone’s colour of the year (What do you guys think of the choice?) I’m waiting to get my hands on these amazing sunglasses from Sunday Somewhere! I am also loving this beautiful dress – so perfect for when the weather get’s warmer! Lastly, I am loving these earrings! Such flair!

3 Ways to Wear A Jumpsuit this Winter

Whoever told you you could only wear a jumpsuit that one way, was very wrong. A jumpsuit is one of the most versatile pieces in your arsenal and it works for all seasons! Since winter is coming, or rather winter is pretty much here, I styled my favourite Hush jumpsuit in three different ways for three different occasions! Scroll down and have a look – and remember, a jumpsuit is your new best friend!

1 The Casual

As the weather continues to drop, elevate your casual jumpsuit look with some smart layering. A white turtleneck underneath this black jumpsuit provides the perfect contrast to create a luxe look for everyday! Paired with your favourite boots, you have an easy go to outfit for when you aren’t quite sure what to wear! Easy!

Turtleneck: Zara

Jumpsuit: Hush

Boots: Dior

Bag: Gucci

A casual jumpsuit can easily become a semi formal one with just a few simple tricks. By layering a collared shirt underneath your jumpsuit and topping it with a statement blazer, you’ve got yourself a stylish outfit that rocks as much as your favourite trouser and blazer combination but with that added twist!

Blazer: Maje (old – similar here)

Shirt: Claudie Pierlot (similar here)

Jumpsuit: Hush

Boots: Dior

The Semi Formal

3 The Formal

Taking a casual jumpsuit and transforming it for a night out is not as hard as you might think! This is by far my favourite way to wear a jumpsuit. I love to add some texture to my outfit with a little bit of lace and a velvet choker – two things that always look gorgeous for a night out. Throw on a pair of heels and a solid statement lip and you have a laid back yet incredibly chic night outfit.

Lace Cami: Set (similar here and love this one too!)

Jumpsuit: Hush

Heels: Prada (similar here)

Clutch: Loewe

The Silk Sneaker in Capri

It took all of two seconds for the beautiful town of Capri to steal my heart…

On my summer adventures this year, I recently made a trip to the beautiful town of Capri. I think the words I used to describe one of the prettiest places I’ve seen this year were “right out of a Woody Allen movie” (I guess you can’t kill the film buff in me) If you’re planning a trip to this stunning town, which I highly recommend you do, there are so many things to see and do, and mostly consume (eat their body weight in pasta weight anyone?) but mainly I recommend a couple of things that you just cannot miss, especially if you want a fabulous trip!

Eat

La Fontelina

This isn’t just a great place to eat, its a great place to spend the day by the beautiful Mediterranean. A little bit of a trek down Capri (Although, while we were starving that trek seemed like it took forever!) but well worth all those burnt calories. The little restaurant serves up pasta, to fish, to meat and if there is something not on the menu that you would really love, don’t be afraid to ask! I would suggest the Lobster linguine – It’s one of the dishes that isn’t on the menu but be sure to ask for it. One of the best I’ve ever had! (Trust me, I’ve had a lot of lobster spaghetti in my time) The tiramisu was divine and the atmosphere was vibrant.

Once you are done with lunch, head down to the beach club for a day in the sun. With beach mattresses and chairs laid around, little coves have been built into the rocks so that you can enjoy the sun and sea. Take a little dip in the water (which was amazing!) and if you’re too tired to trek all the way back up the mountain, you can grab the ferry that will take you to the port! One of our best days in Capri!

Aurora

If the food at Aurora is good enough for Queen Bey then it’s definitely good enough for us as well! One of the best melanzane I had in Capri was at Aurora along with the most divine dessert. That being said, nothing will quite top my main of truffle pasta. (You really can’t beat truffle pasta – I wonder if Queen Bey had the same)

You cannot go to Capri and not have truffle pasta, trust me!

Buonocore Gelateria

No trip to Italy is complete without some Gelato, but if you’re me, no trip to Italy is complete without some Gelato everyday! The line at Buonocore is longer than ever but the wait is well worth the amazing Gelato in every flavour (Tiramisu is my fave!) in the freshly made cones. You’ll be able to spot it from quite a while away considering and I suggest trying to go as early as possible so you can get the flavour you want! I have no issue eating gelato for breakfast, lunch and dinner! In fact, one of the first things I had on our first morning in Capri was gelato and coffee! Oops!

Where to Hang

Besides hitting up La Fontelina, there are lots of other things to do in Capri! Start by exploring all the cute little boutiques and side streets – it’s a stunning town with lots of cute things you’ll want to add to your wardrobe!

Head over to the square with the clock tower to catch a stunning view of Capri and the ocean

One of our best days was when we rented a boat and took it around the island. It was beautiful to jump into the ocean and explore the little beaches and enjoy the water! Which leads me to another must do…

Blue Grotto

The Blue Grotto is a little cave where the water is this indescribable neon blue. The light from the water reflects around the cave making the rocks appear blue as well. It’s a beautiful national phenomenon and a must see while you’re in Capri You get onto a little row-boat which takes you into the cave. You can jump into the water if you like I believe, but it’s exceptionally cold from what I hear!

Capri, you haven’t seen the last of me!
