X- Ray dressing: Sheer is here in a big way! Transform your run-of-the-mill T-shirt and blue jeans look into something extraordinary with a sheer top over the T-shirt.
3D Florals : The favourite florals takes on a dramatic look with 3D effect. It’s a great do-it-yourself too. Simply buy few artificial flowers and stick it onto a regular top!

Shopping philosophy: Look forward to surprises.
Travel fashion tip: Find something that imbibes the aesthetic of the place you are visiting.
Online treasure sites: Asos.com, Koovs and FrontRowShop.com.
Favourite look: Simple denim shorts and vintage tees with minimal or no accessories.
Colours: The all-white look is gorgeous. Pastels give a cool feel in this sultry weather.
Trends: Braids and messy up-dos to keep the hair off the face. Metallic eye shadow to highlight the corners of the eye, bright lipstick and lots of mascara with a nude make-up look is ideal for this weather. In terms of clothing, it’s the revival of the 90’s grunge-look .
Must-haves: Lip balm, large floppy hats, comfy footwear like flat forms, rogues and loafers.
Accessories: Cat eye and round sunglasses as well as Lennon’s and vintage designs. I love transparent handbags to style my outfit.

Favourite look: Leather skater skirt with a crop top.

Wardrobe essentials: Black or blue jeans, silk white blouse, leopard heels, a ballerina, scarf, black blazer, A-line leather skirt, statement sunglasses and structured black bag.
