Weaning day ceremony

This is quite a late post but I thought I would share the pictures and show you guys what I wore on my cute little niece's weaning day. 

I am from Nepalese origin and am Hindu religion. On a weaning day, in our culture we have a big ceremony where we invite relatives to celebrate and feed the baby a non liquid food from everyone's hand as an 'opening ceremony' to show that the baby is now able to start eating solid food. This was held few weeks ago and wasn't intending to post a blog about it at all initially. I quite frankly loved the saree I wore on that day and was getting a lot of compliments from my cousin sisters. I bought this saree in sort of in hurry from an Indian website called Craftsvilla and was initially scared it might not turn up on time but I was so glad to see they managed to get it delivered on time. The initial blouse cloth that the saree came with was black (due to its black borders). Since I didn't have time to  have it stiched, I bought a separate ready made blouse from a local shop in my place.
The half and half sarees (distinct colour/print on the top and bottom) are so on trend. I have so many colour combination I droll over in sarees. One of them is the combination of Fuschia and Blue. They are just lussshhhh and have the power to catch my eyes all the time. 

So here are few pictures I am sharing from the day.
(p.s. Sorry for the bad quality pictures and random effects, they were all imported from my Iphone).

Fashion | Sheinside Houndstooth Coat Review

If you're a Sheinside browser then I'm sure you've definitely come across this coat before. I had been eyeing on this coat from tiimmeeee and just love everything about this coat. This coat is with no doubt every OOTD bloggers favorite and one of the top selling product of Sheinside and other Chinese website who sells this coat. 

I always used to go through the pictures of this coat in the website as well as the buyers ootd post submitted in Sheinside wearing this coat. But I always used to end up holding myself back everytime I try ordering due to my dilemma about the sizes. Since its an Asian company I knew that the size charts were different to western size charts and you have to do some conversion to get the right size for you. I have ordered stuff from Chinese websites in the past but never the clothing so this was my first time which is why I literally took sooo long just to decide the right size and also since I'm super fussy about the fits in clothings. Even though I knew that you gotto go certain sizes up to meet your size requirements, but go how many sizes up exactly?, I didn't know. Ugh, yes they do provide the measurement details but god no they are never said to be accurate or even near to correlate the actual measurements in real. Dilemma was made worse when the reviewers suggested different things about the sizes from their experiences. Some would say going one size up is perfect, while others would say going just one size up is not enough and have to go two sizes up and so on. I know that different people have different preferences to how they want their clothing to fit but my dilemma was enough that I didn't want to risk it for the regrets by taking either of the suggestions.

So after waiting and waiting for my mind to make up the decision, I finally hit the Checkout button and ordered the coat while biting my lip and crossing my fingers to hope for good. Then after 3 weeks give or take, the coat finally arrived and I am now gonna say that I am fairly happy with the purchase. I am UK size XS/6 and ordered Medium and I am so happy that the coat fitted nice and decent on me and didn't look crazy like I feared as the consequences could have been anything. So in the end, me going up to two sizes was indeed the right decision I made!
So here is the long awaited coat and below I'll try my best to review about the quality and fit of the coat so that it helps those who are in the same page as I was. (I hated how there wasn't a single blog review about the coat despite of being so popular -_-).

Fit: 

• The coat fits pretty nicely, and is definitely wearable with enough room inside. It is not tight at all which was the Main fear of mine. 
• The main body parts we would be fussy about such as bust, shoulder and arms are all pretty much perfect on me. Non of these parts of the coat feel too tight or baggy. 
• Therefore, if you are UK size 6/8/XS, I recommend to go for Medium! And those who are not UK 6/8, I recommend you going 2 sizes up like I did if you want to have decent room inside. In conclusion, going just one size up is probably not a good idea. 

Quality: 

• I would rate the quality of this coat to be 7/10. 

• First of all, about the thickness, it is fairly thick. As shown in the picture below, the coat is padded inside including inside the sleeves which makes the coat fairly warm. A lot of reviewers in Sheinside said the coat is more for autumn and definitely not for winter which obviously depends where they're from, but I live in South East of England and I can say I could wear this coat during winter in up to -1oC  (just a rough estimate) and stay fairly warm. However, when the temperature gets worse than that (which is very likely) I can't then wear the coat. 

• One bad side about this coat I noticed straight after wearing it for a day was the coat has too much fluff that comes out way too much. In the picture below, it doesn't look much of a big deal but in real trust me it can be annoying when your scarf and the clothes you're wearing catches the endless fluffs. Plus it also makes the coat look a little cheap.

• The pockets are fake! When the other customers were moaning about the fake pockets in the reviews I wasn't personally fussed that much about it, probably cuz my concentration was on other main things. But now after getting hold of this coat and having my dilemma all cleared out, I can see that the fake pockets can be quite annoying. 

The coat is padded inside including the sleeves which makes it fairly warm. 

The fluffs of the coat can be annoying and also makes the coat look cheap. 

So Overall, I am happy with the coat. Despite of other flaws, my satisfaction of how the coat's fit turned out was good enough to be making the other flaws minor for me. I think this coat is worth every penny (£30) and does the job very well. This coat is such a nice edition to my closet and gives such a chic sense to my outfit.
I hope I have helped you at some degree about the sizing if you have been planning to get this coat. And those who are considering or want to check out the coat then here is the link. It's sold for £30.37 and is available in size S-XL. Choose wisely :) . If you need to know anything else about the coat that I haven't covered just let me know in the comments below or message me and I'll try my best to help out. xoxo

Beauty | Topshop Matte Lip Bullet - Call me queen bee

Soooooo, let's get straight to the point; I have to say I like this new lippie. 

To begin with, I think it's crayon style packaging is hella cute. The tube gives me the feeling of holding a thick marker pen quite weirdly. Its black and white tube also comes with a clear cap to protect the lipstick. The lip bullet has a style of pen applicator and works like an ordinary lipstick - just twist. 

The colour comes out like purpley-lilac that glide on like satin finish. It is quite pigmented (unscented if you may know) and it's creamy texture makes it dream to apply, I want to emphasize about how moisturizing the lipstick really is. The colour is build-able - you can apply lightly for sheer finish or you can build it up to create full coverage (which I do). The colour slides off with a hint of shine then later on transitions into matte stain. Although it's cream texture is dream to apply, it does mean that you'll go through them quicker. This is true specially for me as I want this shade to be darker on my lips so like I said I end up building the colour on top to achieve the darker shade. 

Topshop has this lip bullet for £8 and is available in lots of other colours such as fun reds and oranges. All in all, I like this lip bullet but I don't Love it. I wish I didn't have to keep on applying on top to achieve the darker shade I want and didn't come as off purple, but that's just the shade that Topshop made. I do like Topshop's other matte lipsticks but these are nice addition to Topshop Lip range and cute little addition to my make up bag too.

Fashion | Dorothy Perkins Floral Trousers Sale Picks

So I was browsing through Dorothy Perkins sale section and came across few floral trousers in bargain prices! All of the trousers I bought were all left in just one size which happened to be mine (size 6), which I found bit surprising as I hardly find my size in anything let alone in sale lol, specially if those sales have been on for such a long time. But I was so glad to have found my size and seeing the beautiful summery prints and their bargain price I definitely couldn't resist. 

The original price of all of these trousers were £24 and I bought two for £9.60 and the other two for £7.20, impressive ey? Oh I love myself for having such a good finds time to time lol. The style of these trousers are joggers style and I love their style of fit in the legs - not so fitted and tight but bit baggy and roomy which is perfect for summer apart from their lovely prints.The delivery was well-packaged and I loved how all the trousers inside came with their hangers on, each having plastic covers on them. 

I can't wait for summer to come so that I can take these florals out for the day. It's just come to the end of January now and I know I''ve got months and months till the heat arrives in England :( . Till then they'll have to be in my wardrobe for the time being. 

I know all of these florals are equally beautiful and scream for summer just as much, but I Loove the last one mainly due to its big and bold flowers. What do you think of my bargains, and which one is your favorite print out of these four? Do let me know in the comments :)

Silver is the new Gold | Boho Trend

 So I have huge obsession over Boho silver necklaces. First of all, when it comes to taste in fashion, I would say I am bit of one sometimes and bit of another at other times. By saying this, I'm mainly referring to the two different styles that I absolutely adore: Sophisticated chic look and mild Gypsy Boho look. I wanted to add 'mild' because I don't mean to go for proper gypsy look but instead as the fashion world calls it Boho-chic (or gypsy-chic or hippie chic). Yes I love to dress myself with sophisticated stylish outfit flopping out my heels but then at the same time style I can have my mood of styling myself drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences and putting them into a fashionable manner. There's something about these two styles that makes them so my kinda style and the reason why I can have two different moods in fashion.

Going back to the main purpose of this post, I wanted to share another haul post but also expressing my current obsession: Boho inspired silver necklaces. Not just necklaces but boho inspired silver accessories in general are huge this year which I am excited about. 

First of all if your're inspired by this new silver necklace trend then I do want to aware you about the range of boho silver necklaces that Forever21 has to offer right now. I fell in love with the one I purchased above which is this chic and earthy piece burnished pendant necklace set. One thing I loved apart from the design is that these necklaces were not attached together which means I could wear them separately whenever I wanted to. The necklaces feature a triangular faux stone, sunburst and etched pendants with hanging drops and I got them for £5. 

I mainly bought these necklaces to style them with my turtle neck sweater which is another style trend I'm super obsessed with. I wanted the necklaces, specially the etched pendant necklace to be bit bigger in real but didn't turn out to be so, which personally I'm not super fussed about. When summer comes, I can't wait to wear them with blouses, crop tops and maxi dresses. Throwing these necklaces with any of the outfits will help you achieve a effortless and laid-back look.

I bought this beautiful Tibetan inspired necklace for only £1.60 from a Chinese website called Aliexpress.com (I'll be posting my reviews about this website showing range of other products I bought from it in another post in future). Apart from its beautiful pendant giving bohemian vibe, I don't like how the necklace is so short. I would love if the necklace was long enough to fall around the area below my chest but it sits just on the bottom of my neck. The necklace is so short and just doesn't look nice where it sits, it would of rather looked nice if it was longer and rested on the tummy area below the chest. I know the next thing I would do is possibly replace the chain of the necklace with a longer chain of other necklaces, but the way the pendant is attached with the chain, it is not just hard to take it out but its also hard to assemble in a new chain. I know anyone who is good at arts like this is not much of a big deal. I will need find someone who knows how to do this job nicely as I am personally no good at these kinda things lol. Otherwise, its just a beautiful necklace, the quality is definitely nice for the price of £1.60 and I will be keeping the necklace throughout until i find a way to make the length better. But if you guys have any suggestions for me then PLEASE let me know :).
