Wardrobe Must Have: Camel Coat For Fall/Winter

Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto once described the color black as ' modest and arrogant at the same time'. I feel same can be said for the color camel. It sounds a very unassuming, modest color. It is supposed to blend in, support the surroundings, not make a scene- so to speak. But when you see this color in a top coat you can not ignore the statement camel color makes! A camel top coat has been a wardrobe staple of women across generations - from movie stars of Noir days to street style in 2014, a camel coat is present in all the elegant, classic, modern and refreshing ways!

Leave it to Coco Chanel to make a fashion trend timeless and modern at the same time! Just like quilted bag and tweed jacket, another Chanel style trend that has been here for decades and still makes a 'come back' - the cap toe shoes! Inspired be the men's spectator shoes, Mademoiselle Coco designed the beige sling back with black cap toe in 1957 and the trend has been fashionable ever since.

I am totally in love with the Giuseppe Zanotti cap toe pumps Jessica Alba wore at Lucky Magazine blogger conference (Lucky FABB) I mean look at her outfit - the shoes are the centerpiece!

Spring Shopping List - Colored Denim, Pink Blazer And More!

What do you do when you are asked to 'just rest'. I was asked to do just that yesterday by my chiropractor (and to think of happy thoughts!). After a nap and some reading, I did what would really gives me happy thoughts - I made a shopping list! And here are some of the items on top of my list -

• Colored Denim - Usually ,I do not blindly follow the trends. I say work with what you got and be true to your style! But seems like colored jeans trend has 'versatile' written all over it. I love all the color choices - from fire engine red to mustard to mint green! I foresee the bright denim to be a wardrobe staple.
• Pastel Pink Blazer - I am in love with this color. And these blazers can go from day to night, casual to formal without much effort. Femininity and streamlined look - all sewn together- one sleeve at a time!
• Nautical Stripes - *Drool* If nautical stripes are not timeless, I don't know what else is! A pretty striped dress, floppy hat, rope handle bag and a hot sailor (just sayin') on the boat - a girl doesn't need much else for a memorable summer!!
• Espadrilles - These are a summer must-have. I love the comfortable heels that you can wear whole day. Canvas, fabric or leather - take your pick!
• Floral Clutch - A floral clutch is perfect for spring/summer - I imagine a white cotton sundress with espadrilles and a watercolor inspired clutch for a promising spring day! See this for some more ideas and floral inspiration!
• Skinny Belt - I have a number of wide and medium width belts in my wardrobe, and I am looking to add some skinny belts in the belt-hook! The printed thin belts or bright colored skinny belts are on my shopping list to add interest to a simple outfit.

Here is the visual of my spring shopping list!
