For Budget's Sake!

Tired of the disappointment that comes after a long day of running store-to-store looking for the perfect pair of churiyaan? Trust me, you aren’t the only one. Sometimes you find that perfect pair at an Indian store, but then again at times, the price tag doesn’t always fit the life of a budgetista. What’s a girl to do – you need something chic and cheap! Well, your trusty DFFs are at it again with some advice on budget bangles.

Chunky bracelets can be one of the most versatile pieces in your accessory closet, helping to tone down a heavy outfit, or spice up a simple one.  And ladies, don’t be afraid of bright colours or bold animal prints.

Best of all, glam bracelets can be found at stores like Aldo Accessories, Le Chateau, or independent kiosks. With prices ranging from $15 – $35, add style and sophistication without batting your pretty lil’ eyelashes.

Go Big Or Go Home

Go BIG with prints or go home and sip your Bibi's cha. If you didn't already know prints make the world go round - adding colour and interest to almost any outfit. Our Fab Find for this week was at Rani Sahiba in Brampton where we found these trendy unstitched suits for $35 each. With a variety of colours, all they need is your imagination and a good tailor. As we know, I'm a big fan of tailored clothes versus ready-made outfits. Unstitched suits let you be the fashion designer and create a design that really suits you (show us what you got hot stuff). This DFF is feelin' at least one of these (maybe 2 or 3...) for an upcoming destination wedding. We're talking a tight pajami, short-fitted-sleeveless kameez, and the chuni tied in a bow around the neck. Eat your heart out Hema Malini.

If you want to be really daring, double check the amount of fabric and switch up the pajami and kameez fabric (print on bottom, plain fabric for the top).

Holla if you hear me. Or if you don't, I'll show you what could have been yours (easy tiger - we're just talkin' suits).

A Vision in White

DFF pick of the week…

What: Lengah

Why: The top has a unique cut and design. The band on the waist is a gorgeous detail that really accentuates your figure and is the focus of the outfit. The way the chunni is draped ties it all together. Simply put, this outfit represents class and sophistication.
