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!

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.

Christmas with Hush

It’s that wonderful time of the year again…

Take a little sneak peek into my Christmas wreath making with Hush. Trust me, it was incredibly messy but incredibly fun! Plus by the end of it, I got to scout out the cutest Christmas pieces just for you!

Twas many nights before Christmas but the scene was set. Complete with cozy sweaters, sequins dresses and champagne, I was met.

The Hush Christmas event was the definition of cozy but with the added flair and style that Hush always guarantees. I was most excited about my evening with Hush because we were going to be making our very own wreaths! I had never, up until that evening, ever made a wreath before (Not really ideal weather in India?) Determined to be awesome at it, I got to work, not without admiring the gorgeous winter collection! Scroll down to shop my favourite Hush picks!

Our expert on hand, Augustus Bloom, provided us with the step by step instructions on how to create the perfect Christmas wreath. I did not realise how difficult it was to do, nor did I realise how incredibly messy it is! Needless to say, there was a lot of moss everywhere, a lot of pine, a lot of lavender and a lot of wire… But in the end I think I got it!

I was pretty proud of my wreath by the end of it! I’d say it isn’t a bad first effort! What do you think?

Wearing Pyjamas In The Day + Recent Reflections

The past 24 hours have been nothing short of surprising.

Amidst all the thoughts about this pyjama trend driven outfit, there are other topics that seem to be shining a lot brighter in my mind right now. Regardless of what side you were on, or who you voted for, the results of the US presidential election came as a shock to us all. It has governed the topic of conversation on every single whatsapp group I have and has been the go-to topic of conversation at any meal, hair dresser appointment and even spin class I’ve had recently.

Trust me, the air of confusion and fear about the future of the USA has reached London as well. With next to no understanding of what exactly the future presidents policies are especially in terms of trade and defence, the global community is left in a state of shock. It then of course comes as no surprise that a whole generation of votes have taken to the streets to roar their opinions. However, once the overwhelming feelings begin to settle down and the fog clears, there is one thing that none of us can ignore; the only way now is forward. Although a nation finds itself divided by a brutal election season, it is up to that same country to come together, regardless of sex, gender, race or anything else, and pave a path to the future that leads to a better world for generations to come. My hopes now are that the candidate running and the now president elect are two different voices, and that the latter is a voice of reason, understanding and togetherness.

To voice Hilary Clinton, no one can stop you from being who you want to be. Reach far, aim high and dream big. Be sure to be the best that you can be because it is up to us to set the precedent, to set the example and to ensure that we live in a world of love not hate. No matter what, as a woman of this generation, we rise back up and we keep going. I was truly inspired after watching Hilary Clintons gracious speech last night, as I’m sure you all were. Her speech truly rung with positivity and optimism and most of all, encouragement, that there is still hope.

Nevertheless, there was some positive news over the past day as well. Despite the fact that the news was governed by the elections, on the other side of the world one of the biggest democracies of the world took a massive step forward. I’m sure most of you know by now that I am Indian. When I heard the news that all 500RS and 1000RS notes are no longer considered legal tender, I was shocked in the best way possible. The governments action to finally crack down on the large amounts of black money circulating through the economy is a massive step forward in anti-corruption movement that is sure to lead to a brighter and better India. At least that was there to make me smile.

On a much lighter note, I can turn back to the pyjama outfit. (Hah, that even felt weird to write after this little heart to heart above) I’ll keep it brief though – the pyjama trend is one that I absolutely adore because who doesn’t love comfort. As a massive loungewear fan, being able to wear pyjama pants in the day, that too ones that were leopard print (double points!) is the perfect combination of style and ease. To add a balance, I paired it with a more formal high neck top and a fur gilet, striking a balance between trend and classic.

So, what is running through your head about this election? How are you feeling? I want to hear your thoughts!

How To Style A Cape

When it isn’t hot at all, but it isn’t freezing either.

Not sure if it’s all the Harry Potter I’ve been watching (Sky, why do you keep taking away the Harry Potter channel? Can it just be a permanent fixture?) in the lead up to Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, or just all the runway looks I’m subconsciously thinking about, but either way the cape (poncho, blanket, whatever you want to call it) is having a real moment this autumn and since the weather isn’t hot but it definitely isn’t freezing – Winter is yet to come – the blanket cape is about to become your new best friend.

The lack of structure involved with a blanket cape is not usually something I tend to mess around with, but The Silk Sneaker is all about trying new styles and being fearless with style while inspiring you to do the same. I really embraced the flows of the cape , which allows for a lot of versatility in the way you wear it. I opted to wear it with a layered sweater and a skirt with a gorgeous lace hem – It’s nice to have something interesting peeking out from under the cape!

Since the cape itself is quite large, I wanted to make sure to add some definition to my silhouette with my thigh high Stuart Weizman boots. This ensured I didn’t seem lost under all the layers! The blanket cape is perfect for the day time when you find yourself sweating in your regular winter coat. If the weather get’s a bit chilly, I find it’s easiest to just throw on a scarf for extra warmth!

In other news, I finally am recovered from the flu and then the ear infection that followed so finally back on my feet (and on the bike – been spinning lots as you can see through my Instagram stories!) I’ve got a weekend full of birthday celebrations for a few of my friends, so can’t wait to share all of that with you guys as well, as well as an amazing shoot I’m doing tomorrow!

Woman in Plaid

When a favourite classic gets an elevated upgrade.

As a girl plaid skirts were my obsession. They progressed with me through all my different phases – from my Avril Lavigne ‘punk’ rock stage to my Lindsay Lohan ‘I wear Pink on Wednesday’ stage. It seems old habits die hard because it’s back in my closet but with a womanly update.

This skirt very clearly proves my point that plaid skirts aren’t just for little girls, they are very much for the modern woman. The colour combination is slightly more sophisticated than the classic black and red, making it an easy piece to match. The fact that it’s wool is one of my favourite parts, because it’s perfect for an autumn outfit!

I wore this outfit on a day out with my mother. It was perfect for hitting the stores and just having a lovely day out. Paired with my thigh high boots I managed to stay quite warm. I was a bit late to the Stuart Weizmanan boots party but I totally understand why everyone is obsessed with them. They have to be one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes that I own! I highly recommend investing in a pair.

In other news, I hope you guys have been enjoying the new website! It’s been such a fun experience creating it but the fun doesn’t stop here. I have so many more features planned which are all in the pipeline! Can’t wait to keep sharing! If there is something specific you want to hear about though, shoot me a line and I would love to hear!

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!
