'The Perfect 10 Blazer' - named quite diligently; is manufactured, pampered and sold by the much-talked about online store Stalk Buy Love and I believe is a staple diet for your Winter Wardrobe. 

Made with Cotton Twill on the outside with Polyster Crepe lining and trim, this high-quality raunchy Red blazer, "ensures that you look fabulous." 

 The blazer is the perfect companion for all those girls out there who are kinda obsessed about bodycon dresses. 

Showing off those curves without showing even an inch of your skin, has been made easy with this one. *grins*

The Ravishing Blazer is a Brilliant and Lethal Combination of Red with the slightest hue of Orange thus giving it a Sexy Scarletty look. 

The Black Borders infuse an enormous amount of sophistication to your overall appearance and this makes it a great wear for day or night, formal and informal events. 

The Jacket, like shown in the pictures can be easily worn with both short dresses, skirts or trousers hence giving you ample space to look spectacularly gorgeous and graceful at the same time, without of course, trying too hard.

Although a quintessential Winter Wear, one can easily wear the blazer in moderate seasons too, because of the cotton fabric, which makes it highly comfortable and easy to carry.

One of my best buys ever, this promising blazer can never let you down no matter what. 

The colour, the borders and the one button-cut adds so much sassiness to your overall appearance that'll you never feel like stepping out of it. 

Think of the blazer as that kind of an outfit, which makes you look good instantaneously and uplifts your entire mood for the day. 

From "really-special" dates to office conferences, this jacket, as affectionately believed by SBL, "is a dependable weapon in your dressing armour to mesmerise any male onlooker." Hell, even women would be swooning all over you to get their hands on this sexy thing!

So if you're looking for something formal n chic with a smaller hole in your pocket, don't hesitate to go for this. 

From fair to dusky or even sun-kissed complexion like mine, this blazer will do a lot of justice to you and you'll soon end up repeating it mercilessly.

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel.

When you type 'Little Black Dress' in the Search Box and hit Enter, Google gives you "about 18,20,00,000 results" in approximately 0.43 seconds.

Yet if you still want to know about it...this is how Wikipedia describes it:

"A Little Black Dress is a black evening or cocktail dress, cut simply and often quite short. Fashion historians ascribe the origins of the little black dress to the 1920s designs of Coco Chanel and Jean Patou. Intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable, accessible to the widest market possible and in a neutral colour. Its ubiquity is such that it is often simply referred to as the - LBD."

RealSimple.Com believes that, "more than any other piece of clothing, the little black dress is, women have been told, THE ESSENTIAL. The one that will take you practically anywhere."

In 1926, American Vogue published the first ever picture of a Little Black Dress, designed and drawn by Chanel, and it was way back in '26 when the magazine successfully predicted that it "would soon become a uniform". 

The dress, "was an apparently simple yet elegant sheath, in black crêpe de Chine, with long, narrow sleeves, worn with a string of white pearls..."

Back then, the Little Black Dress or simply the LBD would be designed and blended with semi-sheer top, narrowed silhouette or shorter hemline. 

Actresses would wear them Charleston-style with Cloche hat. 

As years passed, they would be Handkerchief-hemmed with asymmetrical neckline, a bit sleek, more edgy, feminine and definitely more evolved than the initial years.

The 1930s brought the dominance of strong embellishments on the dresses along with strong neckline and shoulders.

Two decades later, the Fashion Industry saw a new revolution as Christian Dior introduced his legendary New Look: wasp waist blended with lavishly full skirt.

With the advent of more designers, the LBD became even more stylish, sophisticated and utterly dramatic. With plunging neckline and pencil-slim skirt, the LBDs became the ultimate example of a perfect cocktail dress. 

Remember Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's? The Hubert de Givenchy that she wore might be filmdom's most famous LBD. Ever.

Post the 1960s, however, the designers both based in New York and Paris played with the designs so meticulously that the LBDs were not only distinctly different but each one of them also created a mark whenever they were worn by famous celebrities. 

(For instance, Lady Diana's iconic off-shoulder LBD, Elizabeth Hurley's notorious waist and thigh slit dress or even Madonna's demure look back in 2002.)

    Here you go.....

Manufactured with a lot of warmth and care by Stalk Buy Love, this Angelic LBD is on the virtual-shelf of Jabong for the last two years and it was at the end of last year, when I became a proud owner of this supremely gorgeous little black dress. 

Although it's a classic example of a present-day LBD. 

The dress that I'm wearing can also be called the Little Black Skater Dress (or simply the Skater Dress) because of the way the dress falls at the knees making it look like the letter 'A'. 

You might have noticed in the pictures that the dress is narrower at the top, flaring gently wider towards the bottom resembling the letter 'A'. 

Hence, the name.

I did self-styling for the shoot and went with absolutely no accessories except for a pair of Black and Gold Star-Studded Earrings that just accentuated my curls in an understated sort of way.

Since LBDs are so famously and religiously worn at cocktail parties, dinners,

 or simply at super-formal occasions I preferred to wear the same in broad daylight at suburban locales of my city to see how it might make me look. 

The result wasn't disappointing right? 

Thus, LBDs are perfect for Brunch Parties or Wine Tasting Ceremonies (and hush-hush Lunch-Dates) as well.

If you're a girl, I'm pretty sure you have more than just one LBD which is

 considered indispensable to a complete wardrobe by many girls and Fashion Fanatics,

who regard it a "rule of fashion" that every woman should own atleast one elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

You can wear your LBD in any way you like. 

Say with or without a pair of pumps during the day, maybe with pearly accessories in evening events or simply team it up with a cute blazer during winter. 

A wardrobe's staple diet, the LBD should be as simple and chic as possible. 

Like Chanel said, "....dress remarkably and they remember the woman." So why not make them remember you in that Gorgeous Little Black Dress?

See all the lovely ladies, above? 

All of them can be seen wearing Jumpsuits. 

And since this show (that goes by the name of, 'Orange is the New Black') is my recent favourite,

I couldn't come up with a post that's more ridiculously apt than this one. 

Made out of Polyester Crepe and Cotton Polyamide Net. 

The lining of the Jumpsuit is made with Knit Cotton Spandex and as you can see in the pictures above,

 the tri-colour combination of the Jumpsuit includes, Fresh Minty Green at the bottom coupled with a pleasant yet 'unlikely' synchronisation of Whitish and Dark Grey on top.

Designed with lined bodice, the Jumpsuit has multiple pleats along with pockets on both sides in the front, and a long zip fastening at the back.

Stalk Buy Love defines the Jumpsuit by calling it as an outfit that "looks very classy and refreshing...." 

And honestly I don't disagree. 

Since my first Jumpsuit which I bought during that tour, I have purchased around seven differently styled and coloured,

 branded/non-branded, 

stylish/comfy

and almost all sorts of Jumpsuits available, 

from both online and offline stores in India but believe me when I say this....

I have practically, literally and figuratively never encountered a piece like this ever before.

The most amazing thing about the Jumpsuit is it's out-of-the-world fusion of pastel shades that makes it so vibrant yet tranquil simultaneously. 

What I absolutely adore about this purchase is it's ability to be worn both during the day and evening events. 

And why not? 

The store itself promises you to wear it both "for work or day parties..."

Although I should add one extremely important point right now, which is none other than the Jumpsuit's semi-transparent back. 

Like I previously mentioned, the upper part of the Jumpsuit is made with delicate cotton polyamide net and this makes your back almost visible, till the waist, with the zip running in between: 

thus lending you a sensuously mystic and dominating look. 

The backlessness of the Jumpsuit is absolutely amazing but since you cannot wear it with a regular bra, you have to wear the dress with silicon pads and if you aren't comfortable enough, wearing the Jumpsuit might be a problem. 

It would have been really nice if the dress came with stitched on cups like many blouses and tops available these days.

The beauty and significance of the Jumpsuit lies in it's effortless maturity and it's ability to make you look outrageously hot but in a completely understated way. 

Perhaps the sentence, "Minimum is Maximum" was coined for an outfit like this.

The clutter and fuss-free piece of clothing gives you a classy Jennifer Aniston ,Gwyneth Paltrow or even Kareena Kapoor vibe and metamorphosises you into a 

complete woman from just a trying-to-find-her-way kinda girl.

I absolutely adore Jumpsuits because of it's 

Sheer unique designs,

Charming patterns and good colour options,

Wide range of price,

 (if you compare the price of a Jumpsuit with that of a tee and trousers separately, you'll see how much one can save by buying one pair of Jumpsuit immediately)

Availabity in abundance,

(you can bump onto Jumpsuits from Kashmir to Kanyakumari without even twitching your eyebrows. Garment shops in Malls have them in plenty and so do the Online stores, 

hence you have loads and loads of options to choose from)

Extremely comfortable, cozy and is soft against the skin too. 

(In hot and humid areas like Mumbai or Calcutta, you won't feel excessively heated up while wearing a Jumpsuit. 

You might look Hot. 

But won't feel it much.)

Wearing a sassy and smart Jumpsuit is like wearing the trendiest piece of outfit in the city yet being the most comfortable too. Hence, the perfect blend of style with comfort is taken care of very well.

However, every good thing comes with a bit of flaw and Jumpsuits are no exception.

Perhaps the only problem I face with them is dealing with the zips, when I have to use the rest-room; and because of this one reason, 

I decide not to wear a Jumpsuit when going out for long.

This is, probably, the only 'big' hitch one can face while wearing something as stunning and captivating as this 

and if you can have a helping hand at your rescue, 

(or manage to work the back/side zipper all by your own, unlike me) 

I'll say it's worth all the effort. 

This Jumpsuit, unlike many, even have side pockets on them so carrying your cell phone or an extra bit of cash won't be a problem at all.

Hence, to answer my own question.

Are Jumpsuits... In or Out? Yay or Nay? Hot or Not? 

I think I've said enough.

What about you answering for me this time?!

How amazing is that, a name which is as short as Red symbolises 'Beginning' and well....the 'End'....

From the same shoot.

  

The beauty of the dress lies in how it falls all the way till my calf muscles at the back and ends dangerously high at my thighs in the front. The dress is made out of lycra-spandex so it has this habit of rolling itself upwards, so all I have to worry while wearing this piece is pulling it down from time to time, especially while sitting.

Although not typically red, the lal-paar shada saree is extremely worn, loved and considered auspicious amongst Bengali women, especially during the Puja times.

Remember the climax of 'Kahaani'?

Here's one more example of the same kind of saree. A little different in design. But you know...serves the same purpose.

Red is mighty powerful amongst Hindu women also cause of Vermilion which is of course of the said shade and the wedding attire (saree or otherwise) for 90 percent of the time is red because of it's sanctity and association to everything holy.

I love this Parineeta or simply the Married-Woman look a lot. The bindi, the bangles and the flower work at the edge of the saree does all the wonders.

LOOK 5.)

To break the monotony of saree-clad pictures here's one candid shot taken God knows when in one of my most favourite dress bought from Honey.

LOOK 6.)

                            Or maybe you can wear a cool, breezy top and take a selfie like this:

LOOK 7.)

This picture was taken last year and the top is one stunning piece I own from Myntra that makes me look and stand convincingly apart. Although originally maroon, it falls in the family of same shade so I felt free to include it as well.

See the semi transparent net work on the arm? It extends till the elbows

 and makes an absolutely dazzling statement on sun-kissed Indian complexion like ours.

LOOK 8.)

                           

                    Is the monotony broken? Good. 'Cause I'm helplessly going back to ethnics.

This saree teamed up with fresh lime green blouse gives a look like no other. It was during this shoot when perhaps I learned the importance of 'contrast' in terms of wardrobe and have been diligently trying it since then. The minimal costume jewelry along with the semi transparent black full length sleeves just add the remaining elegance. If given a chance I would love to look like this at any given time of the day.

The black bindi and kohl-smeared eyes enhanced with baby pink lips just makes the entire look perfecto! <3

LOOK 9.)

           Pissed off at the douchebaggery of  the male chauvinistic world? 

Show off your anger in Red!

LOOK 10.)

Or simply give a long, complex, semi seductive glance and you'll drive them beyond the cliff of insanity for sure!

Don't just turn Red. Turn Heads wearing one. 

The gown you see above isn't a pure shade of Red.

Trust me. Nothing. Absolutely nothing can go wrong with Red. There's a reason why every prestigious event has a Red Carpet Ceremony put altogether. Can you imagine the same happening with sweet and charming Blue or the vibrant Yellow?

LOOK 11.)

        

             Playful. Fun. Feisty. Peppy.

LOOK 12.)

       Or maybe darken the tone a little and look - Divine!

LOOK 13.)

This is the blazer I got last year during Christmas and I'm surely never gonna regret this purchase. Like ever.

Wish Winter extended for more than just two months here in India.

LOOK 14.)

During my Fatso phase! OUCH.

This top stands for pure comfort, simplicity and sophistication all thrown in cotton, black and red.

LOOK 15.)

    Finally, I would love to sum up the blog with the first glimpse of what's going to be my most anticipated entry ever. - THE BRIDE. Which obviously, is on it's way and till then you can warm yourselves up with this extremely gorg Red Lehenga that's gonna drive any heterosexual man wild.

Wearing Red on the Wedding Day is directly proportional to attracting the groom sexually towards the bride. 

Red drives them wild.

So go ahead, put on a Red Lipstick. Have Fun. Smile. And then put some more!

Bonus Look!

Look Classy. Look Unique. Look Red-tastic!
