 Fashion Tip of the Day: You don’t have to be headed to class to rock a backpack.

In fact, style superstars and celebrities are opting for functional and fashionable backpacks instead of either overly bulky or too-small handbags. For every day outings, a chic backpack is the perfect errand partner to keep your belongings safe. Fuss-free and ready for anything the day holds, backpacks are quickly becoming one of the most coveted cool-girl accessories. 

The key to finding the right backpack to fit your style is to ask yourself what vibe you’re aiming for. Are you looking for a posh appearance or a laid-back look? Different days call for different designs, so I went ahead and picked out my top three lusts for the season. 

3 Chic Backpacks for Every Day| Cherry On Top Blog

1. Bohemian 
Nothing says “day off” like a slouchy, patchwork sack. Ripe with the spirit of adventure, donning bright hues and eye-catching design, a boho bag will accompany you on your next day off from work with spirited style. The bohemian look is best suited for sun-soaked days, so leave this bag behind if you’re headed to a meeting.

2. Leather 

Polished and perfect to wear from the mall to meeting up with friends, a structured leather backpack is just basic enough to match almost any outfit. Whether pleather or the real thing, “little leather backpacks” are sophisticated and chic. When your bag is small in size, it’s unassuming and seamlessly becomes one with your outfit.

3. Shaped 
The freedom that comes with a hands-free bag makes room for lots of fun. Since you don’t have to worry about toting these bags on your shoulder – or worse, tucked underneath your arm – why not take advantage and find a fun shape for ultra personalization? This backpack looks like a diamond, which I love! 
I found the above three bags while perusing Lyst’s site. And if you thought just one backpack was enough, think again: Their collection is described to have “backpacks to suit all moods and occasions,” so it’s time to start envisioning your hands-free, fashionable future, because there’s never a bad time to wear a backpack.

Bollywood’s Sri Lankan beauty hardly fails to make a style statement and sets hearts aflutter every time she steps out. Be it award shows, promotional events, casual outings, weddings or vacations, there’s something to learn from her every time and upgrade our look. Not to mention, add new and versatile pieces to our wardrobe also. She manages to turn on heads each time and has hardly let stylists down. The gorgeous actress has come a long way from what her style used to be previously. Start jotting down notes as you find out about the important lessons each one of us can learn from:

1) Neon can look subtle

So you love clothes in neon shades but you also don’t wear them since they intimidate you. You don’t have to inject a big dose of neon in your outfit. Go for a pop of neon in a subtle manner just like Jacqueline does. She has teamed up her monochromatic outfit beautifully with a neon pink jacket. Her clean makeup further elevates her look.

2) Layer jewellery sensibly

There are some jewellery rules which work like a charm and make statement pieces work beautifully. If you want to layer different jewellery pieces, do it on one area. If you are stacking bracelets on your hands, keep the jewellery pieces for your neck and ear simple and sleek. Otherwise you run the risk of looking like a decked Christmas tree. Similarly if you are going for a statement neckpiece, don’t make your look overwhelming by going for statement earrings.

3) Sporty Look Isn’t Just For Playground

Because whoever said sporty and glamorous look can’t come together clearly had no idea about what style means. One can always count on Jacqueline to make even simple sporty dresses look glam. So the next time you need inspiration for styling your sporty dress or ways on how to wear baseball cap with a dress, you know who to turn to. Now you know how to style them, add more pieces to your wardrobe by shopping from India’s mega online Fashion store at non-bank breaking prices with the help of Jabong coupons available on CashKaro.com.

4) Kurta and pants doesn’t has to be boring

Jacqueline looks every bit ethereal here! The way in which she has rocked this outfit is beyond words. She isn’t decked in jewellery and makes for a real cool inspiration for women who despise kurta and pants thinking they might just look the same like everyone else. You can shop for a lot of trendy kurta and pants online at prices which won’t hurt your pocket by using Fashion And You coupons via CashKaro.com.

5) Mix and match with stripes

Stripes have made a big comeback this season and can be seen just all over. One of the best ways to hide and highlight different body parts is by creating illusions through different kinds of stripes. Go for vertical stripes for the areas where you want to create a slimming effect. Diagonal ones work great too. Opt for horizontal stripes for the parts wherein you want to create extra weight. She has completed her look here with a statement neck piece which adds color to her otherwise monochrome outfit. In her second look, she has opted for a very casual look by pairing her striped tee with distressed jeans.

These are just a few of the amazing looks she sports every time and wows everyone! She is a style inspiration especially for women with curves and do not know how to dress up and flaunt them.

Hello all, welcome to the fourth day of the Fall Party. Today, I decided to write about an outfit that I found has become my favourite this season. Let me show you-

Indian Fall/Autumn is not at all cold, in fact it is really hot here in India right now. To keep it all casual and breezy, I chose to wear a basic white tee with a pair of red printed trousers. The trousers are very comfy and at the same time, stylish.

I accessorized the whole outfit with a chunky golden neck piece, bought from Flipkart.

My flats are from Osca Donna, a comparatively new brand that provides hand made, designer shoes. These are the comfiest shoes I have ever worn in my life. The leather is not those hard ones that end up causing blisters to your feet. I found this brand on Flipkart.

My black sling back is my new BFF for quite sometime now. I prefer slings and satchels to handbags.

-Outfit Details-
White Tee- Miss Chase
Printed Pants- Dressberry 
Flats- Osca Donna
Neck piece- Flipkart
Sling bag- Caprese

So, did you guys like this outfit? Comment if you are a casual lover like I am! Hope you are loving this #fallwithcherryontopblog series. If you do then don’t hesitate to share the posts on your social media platforms. I will be back again with a new post tomorrow. Don’t forget to join in. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Ethnic and Off-beat| OOTD| Fashion| Cherry On Top Blog

Hello all, how are you doing? I can’t believe September is about to bid goodbye and October is not too far away. I can’t suppress my excitement as Durga Puja starts on October 19th!! Gosh, one more year passed! Anyways, today’s post is going to be an OOTD post. A few weeks ago, we spontaneously planned for a day-out with our friends. This was an impromptu OOTD so excuse me for the quality of photos. I brought the usual point and shoot camera with me. The background and lighting aren’t as good as they should have been as the trip was not meant for photography. Anyhoo, I succeeded in choosing some good quality pictures for this post as I eagerly wanted to share the outfit with you guys. 

So, without further ado, let’s jump into the post.

You guys might know that I am not an ‘ethnics’ person. I feel extremely comfortable in my jeans or chinos and oversized blouses. I rarely choose to wear ethnic outfits only if there is any traditional function or wedding. This is the reason I merely have 4-5 traditional outfits. If I ever choose to wear an ethnic attire, I make sure that it is not heavy, bland and most importantly conventional.

The Kurti that I am wearing is my favourite at this moment because it is very  lightweight, it has 3/4 sleeves and it has a high-low cut which is just what I need in my ethnics- cool, classy, casual! The material is Poly Crepe which is not breathable yet comfortable. 

I wore these white and gold sandals which I think complemented the ‘ethnic-ness‘ of the outfit. 

I didn’t accessorized much as it was very hot and humid and of course I had no plans of clicking for the blog. I wore a pair of beautiful golden earrings from Gotta Go Gorgeous.

My sling bag is from Caprese. I love the faux leather material. The black and gold combo gives it a oomph. I love slings bags so much and this one is my current favourite!

Hi guys, I hope you all are doing great. Today, first time in the history of my blog ,Cherry On Top, there will be a OOTD post. I am really very excited to present my first ever OOTD to you guys. I always wanted to do a fashion related post, especially an OOTD but I never could summon up the courage to do so. No, as it is finally happening, I am very, very thrilled. I hope you like it.
If you are following me on Instagram, you would know that I had posted a picture of a box full of Crochita accessories.

Follow me at instagram.com/saayantinee

Today, in this OOTD, I have used two things from that lot- a golden metal choker necklace and a metal headband. I really love them a lot for they are golden and they can jazz up an outfit, especially a monochrome one immediately.

Black and Gold is the match made in heaven. They complement each other like no other duos do. The combination of black and gold is timeless, eternal. Black is one of my favourite colours and gold (read golden metal) is my current obsession. This post is the upshot of that.

I went for a very minimal makeup- just the Lakme CC Cream, a touch of compact and a hint of red lipstick (Maybelline Bold Matte MAT5) just to focus on the stunning necklace. Yes, now that the post is up, I realize I could have smiled more 😛

Hello all! hope you all have enjoyed Diwali a lot. Today I am going to show you what I recently bought. This haul is a fashion haul and comprises of clothes and fashion accessories. I think this is my first ever fashion haul in the blog. Anyways, let’s jump into the post- 
There was a sale on Jabong recently. Being a deal-hunter, I grabbed the opportunity to fill up my wardrobe a little bit as I always run out of good clothes right at the crucial moment. I bought two tops from People. Let’s check out-

The first one, as you can see, has a pastel green shade in the front and brown at the back. The top fits me very well. It doesn’t cling to your body at all. It’s very comfy and lets your body breath.  I am really into loose-fits and comfy clothes these days. The front of this top is Viscose Spandex and the backside is Linen. The second top is again a loose-fit, comfy top. I don’t actually remember the material but it is very light-weight and comfortable. Doesn’t irritate the skin and lets it breath. It is loose-fit but ingeniously highlights the curves of your body.

These two tops are again from Jabong. It has been ages since I bought them. I thought of showing them to you now. These are from Harpa and made up of the same material, that is Viscose. Both of them almost looks the same, they have these net detailing at the neck area which give them the oomph and breaks the monotony of the solid colours. I loved both of them so much that I bought them. Call me insane, but that’s me! 😛

These two tops I bought from the OASAP credit that I won long ago in Preethi’s giveaway. The bracelet you’ll see afterwards are from OASAP as well. I found the watermelon-prints very cute so I had to get it. Though it looks very short in length, but at the same time it is decently long. The heart-printed top is cute also, but I found it a little over-sized though I clearly remember I had ordered a size S L

This trouser is from Myntra when there was a festive sale going on. It’s from D-Muse and originally priced at 999/- but I got it in a 30% off discount. Happy J I love the zip detailing at the end. This is the moment when I wish I were a little taller. Sad L

These two are my current favourite possession right now. The bracelet is, as told before, from OASAP and the ear-cuff is by Crunchy Fasion, bought from Fashionara.com. I have bragged about it a couple of times on Facebook and Instagram (follow me if you don’t :P). I am currently into ear-cuffs and planning to buy a number of them J


So, that’s all for my recent fashion purchases. Stay tuned to my Facebook and Instagram to know more about my upcoming hauls. Till then, keep smiling and stay beautiful J

It’s a bit of a cliché, but New Year’s Eve really does tend to be one of the best parties of the year.  At the same time, most people accept that Christmas Eve is actually a better night to go out, but that tends to be because people are conscious of the fact they need to be awake and ready for family festivities the next day, so are more relaxed rather than in full on party mode. Yet, the same level of effort doesn’t go into getting dressed for a Christmas Eve party; the focus is 100% on New Year’s Eve.
With that in mind, we’ve looked at some of the best dress brands for women to choose when planning their New Year’s Eve outfits.

Quontum



Quontum dresses were huge a year or two ago. No, they haven’t fallen off the fashion radar, it is just that the brand has stopped getting the column inches they once were now that most women are aware of it.

For those who aren’t yet in the know, a Quontum dress combines the hallmarks of the classic little black dress with neon strips and a secret material blend to pull in any unflattering areas of your body and make you look incredible all while boosting your confidence. The perfect party dress in so many ways!



Alexander McQueen

If you have an increased budget and are able to go designer for New Year’s Eve 2013-14, then Alexander McQueen is likely to be the best choice you can make. The reason is simply that you have a wide variety of styles and colours you can potentially choose from and ensure that you look different from everyone else.
The price of a McQueen could be a downside, however, so it is not recommended that you wear one if you are travelling to an outdoor party in a city centre, for example, as the chances of rain and stray drinks are considerably higher. If you’re going to a cocktail party in a classy bar, then get buying!


Henry Holland

Henry Holland is a young and still emerging designer who has already made a name for himself in the United Kingdom, primarily through his partnership with the popular Debenhams department store. If you’re looking for something young, chic, and probably featuring an animal or a unique print, then Holland is the way to go. H! by Henry Holland is his quirkiest label, although there are some great pieces to be found in his House of Holland label, too.



Ben de Lisi

If you’re looking for something with a designer feel but want your spending to be in double rather than triple digits, then you can do a lot worse than get your New Year’s Eve dress from Ben de Lisi. If you’re the sort of girl who likes to keep her fashion simple, then this is a great label for you to use, as it predominantly focuses on relaxed fits that will leave you feeling sassy and confident, and the great prices mean it isn’t a disaster if you do come into contact with nasty weather or a stray drink!

Go “Neon” this festive season and dazzle the world around you in‘Bollywood Style’.
 
Going elegantly traditional during festivals is a not just a norm in many households but it’s also an evergreen way to look your best. Even designers swear by traditional attires, especially sarees, and classify them as perfect for the festivities. Saree undoubtedly has always been and till date is an eternal garment given to its versatility and uniqueness that allows transitions in the style that it is adorned in. When it comes to being sensuous but with grace and elegance, Saree sure is a hit with all, regardless of age and occasion.
 
Talk about experimentation and this six-yard garment has immense scope providing options to come up with a distinct look every time. Numerous different saree trends were seen this year itself, hottest amongst which were neon coloured sarees. It is most sought after by the Indian designers and is totally in vogue these days, and why not? Adding a splash of neon to any outfit does project a bold and zany attitude grabbing a lot of eye balls. Sarees in shocking shades of neon green, tangerine orange, acid yellow or hot pink really proved to be the fastest “glowing” trends this fashion-season.
 
Touch of Neon in Kareena’s Look
It’s a rage with the Bollywood community who have really embraced this trend. The chiffon saree look best in these sparkling neon colours. However, different fabric’s such as Silk, Faux Georgette,Semi Chiffonsareeswith patches of neon colours in them or totally in neon shades are also available for women who love to carry style in the ethnic sense.

You can pretty much go for a hallowed Kanjeevaram in electric colours or a neon yellow Banarasi silk saree with a deep blue border.Drape it in “Mumtaz style”, like a “Lehenga saree” or go for the regular “SeedhaPallu” look which anytime outnumbers any latest trend in saree draping hands down. Then there are ready-to-wear sarees which are again a hot seller amongst those who find it cumbersome to wear a saree.
 
 
There are no rules when wearing electric hues as it widely depends on one’s ability to pull off a look. If sarees in exuberant neons appear too ‘in-your-face’ to you then let these colours play hide n seek with you. Opt for designs with neon hues in the piping, border, embroidery threads or just in the finishing. Escalate the impact of shades of neon in your saree by teaming it up with blouse or accessory in pastels or neutrals of the same colour family.
