SAFARI SUMMER

SUIT: KUNDAN PAARAS | SHOES: JIMMY CHOO | BAG: CHANEL | SUNGLASSES: DOLCE & GABBANA

There is nothing simpler than a tailored two-piece suit. With resort season around the corner, this breathable linen is the perfect versatile look to take me off a yacht in France straight onto a safari in Tanzania. (Just for a photo shoot, of course) ;)  It's the perfect blend of comfort & style.

It is very important to me to promote Indian designers globally to create a platform to display beautiful fabrics, light & airy pieces, & create vast economic opportunities in manufacturing. The goal is to embrace the culture, the luxurious embroidery & everything that my country has to offer.

I wanted to stick to earth tones so I chose to pair this look with my "Simply CC" goatskin Chanel bag, wooden bangles that I've had forever & leather/snakeskin multi-strap Jimmy Choo sandals. The gold accents give the look a bold edge.

LAYER CAKE

OUTFIT: KUNDAN PAARAS | SHOES: SAINT LAURENT | BAG: CELINE | SUNGLASSES: DOLCE & GABBANA

I've been trying to neutralize my closet lately after all the years of always choosing the brightest and boldest colour & ending up with a closet that isn't so fall/winter friendly. I guess that's what happens when you're always trying to escape the cold. 

This look came together so quickly as I took one look at this Kundas Paaras SS15 solid grey silk blouse & colour blocked skirt. Me, being a huge fan of matchy-matchy looks (GUILTY!), I paired the skirt with the Celine saffron yellow tie tote bag & Saint Laurent's dusty pink Jane patent sandals. 

The first time I laid my eyes on these gorgeous sunglasses was at Heathrow airport. I quickly popped into a Sunglass Hut and fell in love with this pair; a butterfly-shaped frame, embellished with hand-painted metal almond flowers & gold leaves adorning both front and temples. I hesitated since Canada Customs' allowance is only $800 (Like, seriously?) & the black velvet box, in true Dolce & Gabbana tradition, was just too beautiful to throw away. I thought to myself "If I still want them when I land, I will just get them in Toronto." Luckily, after searching about 5 Sunglass Huts, I finally did find them. And I also snagged the other pair for 40% off! God bless Canada.

The whole look is just so decadent; a silky grey base, layered with a spicy, aromatic saffron yellow and a creamy, smooth dulce de leche nude, with romantic floral sunglasses that are definitely the cherry on top of an already delicious looking cake.

HEAR ME ROAR

2 PIECE OUTFIT : KUNDAN PAARAS | BAG: CHRISTIAN DIOR 

LOCATION: JUMEIRAH ZABEEL SARAY, DUBAI, UAE

Hear me ROAR in this Kundan Paaras crop top & couture skirt from their upcoming SS2015 collection. This outfit was made for Dubai: fierce, royal & elegant at the same time. Made in Punjab, these pieces are a blend of traditional Indian with a modern touch. 

The gold lion on this crop top stands out and leaves no need to accessorize. The strong, bold and gold hand-embroidered details are a perfect contrast to the soft and smooth blue silk. The lion is always the 'King of the Jungle'. Dominate every event in this look!
