How To Dress Like Serena Van Der Woodsen || Inspired

Hello upper east siders,
They say you should always be yourself and that fashion is a form of self expression and shouldn't be copied, rather created; BUT I see no harm in copying our favourite gossip girl star's style! (Please read that in gg's voice) 
Most of you must be aware of my madness for gossip girl and their characters, so here I'm sharing my love for gg and fashion through looks inspired by the impeccable Serena Van Der Woodsen! For all those who haven't watched gossip girl yet or don't know who Serena is; here's what you should take notes of!
She is said to be able to pull off any piece of clothing at any given moment. Serena wears crazy prints, her brother's Oxford shirts, astounding sequins, grungy boarding school clothes, layered necklaces, designer bags and pretty much anything. 
 Serena is not afraid to wear something crazy if she's in love with it, can throw anything on and make it look effortlessly fabulous, and she will never leave the house without putting a unique spin on her outfit! 
Her style is so prominent that when you look at some clothes you immediately say this is so SERENA! I wish I could carry it out as well as S does!
I felt the same and to change it all I did was ...
Firstly : I had pictures saved in my phone of my favourite S outfits and also the ones I could replicate being comfortable in wearing it!
Then, I simply cleared my entire wardrobe and mixed matched clothes that said SERENA! I also picked the most casual outfits worn by S first because those were the most easy to replicate, even YOU can be S! Who can't find a striped white tee or a black polo neck in any F21 stores? Ofcourse you can! It's just that you never thought of doing so, but now that you know about it RUN GIRL RUN!  Serena's clothes may not always look like it, but most are very expensive designer pieces, made in luxurious fabrics and costing hundreds of dollars. Don't worry, though. It's easy to get that Serena Van Der Woodsen style and look just as fabulous for much less money! It's very simple to make that "I just threw this on" look yours!

QUIRKY EXTRAS

Where the world is busy suggesting new trends and every woman in the world starts having those gloomy thoughts about not having anything to wear. Let's face it ladies, we DO HAVE A CLOSET FULL OF STUFF and the ONLY thing we need to do in order for them to go from "LAST SEASON & BORING" to "TOTALLY TRENDY" is learn how to accessorise!
I know that all you girls out there are somewhere or the other sick of your day to day outfits, so here I'm to help you transform your most boring looks with a few accessories. Follow our advice for fresh updates using your favourite jewellery, bags and shoes!

Here's how you can sport them,
FAB BAG + FAB SHOES = SUCCESS

LOOK 1 ~ FRINGE IT

Get casual, Go big-city glam with this trendy fringe bag. At the end, the look is wrapped with the perfect heel. Colour co-ordinate with the bag and shoes to brighten up your outfit. Marsala colour gives glam to the white on white outfit.Add smart girl pieces to the outfit and Voila, your crush won't stop smiling at you.

TOP - ZARA
JEANS - FOREVER 21
FRINGE BAG - ZARA
BOOTS - KOOVS

LOOK 2 ~ BRIGHTEN UP

Jeans and a T-shirt aren't quite attractive to the eyes. This season add the most vibrant accessories to your outfit and set the world on fire. Its always tempting wearing just rolled out of bed t-shirts and jeans, you're way chicer than that. This look is quirky and fresh at the same time. This sling is infused with ethnic touches and the studded flats play the game on point. What could be simpler and more creative than this?

SHRUG - LIFESTYLE
SLING - SHILPA RAMAM ( EXHIBITION IN HYDERABAD )
FOOTWEAR - KOOVS

LOOK 3 ~ THE FILMY STYLE

So casually elegant! That's the first thing which comes to mind when we look at this one! Elevate with structured essentials. Channel a modern day Audrey Hepburn. And pairing all that elegance with a quirky clapper bag and olive pumps gives the outfit some kick.

SHRUG - ZARA
CLAPPER BAG - HAPPILY UNMARRIED
FOOTWEAR - KOOVS

SHE'S GOT A PERFECT ACCESSORY FOR EVERY OCCASION. THE PERFECT BAG AND SHOE CAN MAKE YOUR OUTFIT LOOK COMPLETE AND WELL-PUT-TOGETHER, IN A MATTER OF MINUTES!!

I GOT MY RED DRESS ON TONIGHT ft. SBL

Hello Lovelies,

Happy Women's day to all the beautiful souls out there <3 

It's almost summer, the time to flaunt those beautiful shoulders! Yay or Nay? 

So I was just casually window shopping online when I got this super cute dress from Stalk Buy Love recently, and if you know of my love for the colour red and off shoulders, it will come as no news that I fell head over heels in love with it! 

I didn't do much with the styling, apart from adding hints of nude here and there, and I was done. I teamed this red dress with nude stilettos and carried a Satchel of the same colour. I chose to keep the look simple yet classy.

Take a look at the pictures below, and let me know what you think! 

OUTFIT DETAILS :
DRESS - STALK BUY LOVE
HEELS - ZARA
SATCHEL - ALDO
