Lately, I've been attracted to the houndstooth or dogstooth pattern. This pattern of fabric has its roots in Scottish history and dates as far back as the 1800's originally made of woven wool and was worn by the upper class in the 1930's symbolizing wealth. As a result of this, wearing the houndstooth actually made it possible for people to build wider networks and business connections at social events back then. (Interesting!)

It's traditional form was in black and white duo tones, but has been recreated in brighter and more playful colors. Designers such as Christian Dior, Anne Klein, Geoffrey Beene, Chanel amongst others have used it in many of their collections till date, and it keeps getting re-invented from over time.

So get your houndstooth outfit now, I just did. *Winks* ;)

Happy Independence day friends!!!

Hello friends, wooo hooo hooo, its mid-week already!!!! Sure you all are having a great week! Its been a beautiful one for me, though quite hectic.

So I got this pair of nude shoes with leopard print overlap which I totally love and decided to pair with a leopard print top and cropped pants to make up an outfit. Please be careful when mixing prints such as this because it can be quite tricky since"less is more".

Here are some photos of how it turned out.

The anomalous hemline also referred to as dip hem, asymmetrical hem, hi-low hem

 has taken centre stage in the fashion scene lately and comes in form of tops, dresses, blazers, shirt dresses.

Anomalous means deviating from or inconsistent with the common order, form, or rule; irregular. I think that definition pretty much describes the hemline.
 

It's a versatile style and can be worn in a variety of ways and mix of fabrics such as lace, floral, sheer. Its irregular length behind or at the sides brings to mind some gypsy style of the 19th century. For this outfit, variations in the back lenght determines the occassion (formal or informal) at hand. Won't forget to mention that it also looks fab in our traditional fabrics.

This trend in dress form can be worn in several ways for multiple events. Perfect for lunch with the girls, accesorized with tiny stud belts, sandals, (flats or high-heeled)for a more casual finish; or worn with a blazer, round toe or pointed heels for a formal event. As a top, can be worn with a pair of skinny pants preferably since most styles for tops come in loose fit.

The loose skirt design looks smarter when paired with a snug fit top, either tucked in or resting on the waist band. It has a lot of versatility in the fashionista's wardrobe and can be worn all year round with heels and sandals.

If your already rocking this trend, let us know in the comments.

Yipeeeee........Ok, now this has been long coming, let's just say its been over 4 yrs. Phew, thats a while ago. But thank God it's here finally and to that I say now is the TIME!!!!!

There's an old adage which says:  when one wakes  up, is when one's morning begins, Pardon me if I didn't get that verbatim but I hope you understand what that translates to.lol

So I will be taking all my readers through an exciting blog which I have chosen to call the CUBED WOMAN . She's that woman who thinks all aspects of her life are as important, despite the many responsibilities life has served her with still finds time to pay attention to her personal style. 

That woman could be "you" or" me, think about it!
