"A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu.

Ever since I started Fashion Blogging, I dreamed of making an official announcement to the world. I wanted to share how like many other bloggers I too put a great amount of hard work behind each article and how I would like to take LSF to a spectacular level of success in the near future. Of course, it wasn't easy. You know, when you plan to do something like this, it literally takes a lot out of you and my team and I were completely clueless regarding how and where to proceed with the idea.

But like they say, if you keep your mind on something for long, the universe conspires to make it happen. And yes, cheesy as it may sound, after overcoming one obstacle after another; we finally did it.
Team LSF came together and created an evening which was not only one of a kind but also and...this is important...the very first in Calcutta. 

Today I'd like to share a glimpse of the Official Website Launch of "Love, Sex and Fashion" held on 24th February '16 at Story Bookstore, Elgin Road, Calcutta with Parno Mittra (she happens to be one of the extremely and most talented actresses in Tollywood) as the Chief Guest for the evening.

It seems only like yesterday when we were wishing each other a Happy 2016 and now it's February already! Time flies faster nowadays, don't you think? 

I hope you all had a splendid start to the new year.

Anyways, now that we are just a few weeks ahead of the much loved and celebrated Valentine's Day, let's talk about some easy going outfits that'll make you look like a pleasing date without trying too hard or burning a big hole in your pocket.

Today's post is in collaboration with 'All About You From Deepika Padukone' available on Myntra. 

Deepika Padukone, who happens to be one of  the greatest fashion icons globally; has recently launched her own clothing line adding a bit of her own personality with a good combination of flamboyance and panache to make you look beautiful and confident in the most subtle manner.

Let's take a look.

I am back with yet another Winter-Closet Post. This time about an absolutely adorable and supremely sensuous outfit. 

Don't believe me? 

Just scroll down.

 This Pure-Velvet Jacket is made by Honey, the in-house brand of Pantaloons.

 I purchased it last year in hope of some truly 'brrrrr' kinda winter but alas....another year goes by and the winter here is upto no good. *sighs*

Still, for the sake of sharing this beautiful piece with ya'll I wore this jacket on one afternoon and strutted around the city, feeling quite majestic! 

Coupled with a red bodycon dress by Honey again, this Velvet Blazer - a perfect wear for Manhattan-Winters kept me really warm, comfy and all loved like a fluffy teddy bear. 

Only this one made me look good too! 

I kept the entire look as simple as possible, opting for my recent favourite pair of Accessorize Aviators, Navy Blue Lavie Clutch and an old but breezy pair of Marie Claire Wedges.

An extremely minimalistic approach towards Fashion, this Blazer can easily be worn during the day or night events. Although I should add that if you're going to wear the jacket during the evening, you can wear a cool pair of skin-fit denims at the bottom and you'll look equally bewitching. 

For any indoorsy ocassion, you can wear a short dress inside and get rid of the jacket for sometime, which you might not feel like considering the amount of comfort it provides.

This thigh-length Velvetty masterpiece allows ample room for layering, which is a big yes when it comes to winter. Team it up with sweaters inside, if it's too cold or simply don it with something light and pretty like I did and you'll be all good to go.

By now, one might wonder the influence Pantaloons has on my Winter closet, which to be honest, I'm actually proud of not only due to their sleek and edgy collection but because I also admire their huge number of in-house brands and of course the wide range of prices, helps too!
This Jacket is available in Black, Grey and Beige and although all three looked equally appealing, the black won me over because...black makes us look lean, mean and way sexier than other colours.

A blazer like this is expensive, but I consider an outfit like this as a pure asset.
So if you're willing to invest in one, don't think twice. 

Give a trial or two and swipe that card straight!
