HAUL : Forever21 Arm Candies and Belt

Hello girlies, how you doing? If you are thinking about me, what I have been up to, wellll I was busy shopping off late. Cos my bday is coming near. Yahoooooooo, don't we just love bdays.. gifts, cakes, party, shopping... what not??..Anyhow, lets move on to what I hauled. I had already bought a dress for my bday, that will be for another post. I was looking for a belt in red-orange tone and wedges to match my outfit.

I went to Forever21, Infiniti2, Malad to check out the belts, but I came across this pretty ARM CANDIES which I couldn't resist buying. Forever21 has an amazing collection of accessories, very unique, quirky and affordable as compared to other brands. And I couldn't find the belt I wanted at Forever21. So I looked at others stores, finally found one at westside.

Now let the pics do the talking..

Here goes the shopping bag

Arm candy 1 : Mint and golden colour. Each set contains two bangles. I have bought two :D

Arm Candy 2 : Gold colour with black flowers. Each set contains 5 bangles. Again I bought two sets. :D

Arm Candy 3 : Thin bangle with heart on it. Every alternate heart has diamonds. This is my favourite of the lot.

The belt..

Thank you all for reading.. :D

NOTD : Maybelline Colorama Nail Color Noite De Gala

Hi girlies, how ya all doing? I am doing great. The other day I was just checking my nail polish stash, I found that I don't have a single nail polish in matt purple colour. So I was just browsing the net for some nice purple colour and came across this : Maybelline Colorama Nail Color Noite De Gala. I ordered from an online website.

Its pure pure matt colour, shiny, and consistency is also nice, not too runny not too thick. Check the images below. Please excuse the chipping at the little finger.

It has become one of my favourite shade. And maybelline never disappoints. Thank you for reading.

MUST HAVE : ACCESORIES & BAGS

Heyyaaaaa everyone, i hope you enjoyed reading my previous post here which was about MUST HAVE : CLOTHES. Today i will be sharing with you guys the must have must have - accessories and bags. Did i tell you that i am bag freak. My wardrobe is flooded with bags. Lets move on to the post.

(1) TAN SATCHEL : No matter what Tan satchel is a must. First of all Tan color goes with all the outfits in your wardrobe. Secondly if you are in a hurry , getting ready for party/birthday/ dinner whatever, you can just blindly take out that Tan bag and you are good to go. I own a tan satchel by Marie Claire - Bata. Its has rose gold color chain handle.

(2) BAG IN GOLD COLOUR : Well now this is tricky to pull off cos it not going to match all your outfits. It a good for night out with friends or even for day outing by keep your dress subtle, let the bag do all the talking. Go for dull gold color if you are not comfortable carrying a blingy gold bag. This is my mango bag.

(3) NEON COLOUR BAG : Neon, how can I miss out on this. I have recently bought an Esbeda bag in 4 colours. I just love that bag.

(4) WOVEN BAG : This thrifted woven bag i bought a long time ago. its washable, and water proof. Its good for a day at beach. Looks good on maxi dress. Just throw in your essentials goggles, sunscreen, tissue etc.

(5) CLUTCH : Of course a clutch, to attend those family functions, where you don’t want to carry the whole world with you. I have this clutch from Adamis, its pure leather, and has inner velvet lining.

(6) BIG ROUND EARRINGS : Buy big earrings only after trying them on. Cos they might look good when you see on others but when you trying they either look big or small. Buy one depending on your shape size. I have bought these diamond earrings from santacruz and the gold one from bhuleshwar.

(7) DANGLERS : A must for wedding and formal occasion if you can carry them. Kundan, Diamond, Plain gold, just anything matching your outfit. I have bought these from various places mostly from bhuleshwar. Uploaded pics of few of my earrings

 Thats all for today. C ya girlies. 

MUST HAVE : CLOTHES

     Heyyyaa everyone, how you all doing? Enjoying the sale season? Well, I am for sure enjoying it, did lotsa shopping :D , that I will be showing in another post :). With sale season around and colleges have already begun, we all want to buy new trendy Clothes/Shoes/Accessories/Bags and what not? I just feel like buying everything off the shelf, but I know that this is not going to happen. But I make a note to buy essential things to buy during the sale season. So today I am going to tell you the MUST-HAVES in a girls wardrobe.

     I am going to divide this post in two parts - (1) Clothes & (2) Accessories and Bags

Starting with part one i.e. CLOTHES.

(1) DARK BLUE JEANS : You must have read this ‘n’ number of times in many articles but no matter what is season or occasion  be it spring/summer/rainy, a basic dark blue jeans is a must have. You can buy jeans according to your body type - skinny/straight fit/boot cut/high waist/low waist. And why I said “DARK” blue cos it camouflage your problem ;-) areas, if any and being a dark blue colour it goes with everything.

(2) LITTLE DRESS - ANY SOLID COLOUR : Another must have, I would say is Little Dress(LD) in any solid color, Why in any colour? As LBD is something which every girl must be owning, so why you want to join the bandwagon, be a little different ;D and choose ‘solid colour’ because you can accessorise the way you want with shoes and statement jewelry  You can see dresses in pretty colours out there in malls like electric blue, fuchsia, yellow, coral and that too on sale. Go grab them.

(via here, here and here)

(3) CROPPED DENIM JACKET : Denim jacket will never go out of fashion. It will be re-invented every year. Current trend being neon,spikes, studs. Find something that has one of these, recently I saw an acid washed denim jacket at Forever21 with stud detailing at the collar, a pic is attached below and it was on sale.

(via here)

(4) MAXI DRESS : Maxi dress is so flattering for any body shape whether you are petite or on the heavier side, a maxi dress will hide all your flaws. Apart from that its flowy and breathable, a type of dress which you can wear up and down depending on the occasion. Beautiful Aztec print/chevron print/flower print/stripes maxi dress are available on asos and other online sites, choose one for your body type and rock the world.

(via here, here and here)

(5) SOPHISTICATED DRESS : A nice dress in which is not to revealing. A dress which is for your job interviews or meeting, where you don’t want to end up looking like a party girl. Light pastel colours would suit Indian skin tone, and it should be knee length.

(via here)

(5) BLACK LEGGINGS : Black leggings with silver/gold detailing at the bottom or zip detailing is must must must have. It will go with everything in your wardrobe.

(via here)

(6) STRUCTURED BLAZER : A blazer needs to fit you perfectly. Choose a blazer depending upon which body part you want to enhance. You can wear blazer either open or closed with tshirt, singlet, shirt, dresses anything. Now a days blazer are available in various colours, prints. Choose the one depending on occasion.

(via here)

(7) LONG SKIRT : Long skirt, what to say about, they have come a long way from traditional ghagra skirt to wrap-a-round to sheer long skirts. You get long skirts in varied styles and form. Pleated skirt, Sheer skirt with slits, skirts with embroidery/patch work at the bottom, tight long skirt etc. throw on a plain spaghetti top and make heads turn :-D.

(via here, here and here)

(8) T-SHIRTS : Last but not the least - T shirts. Stock up sleeveless tshirt or spaghetti strap tshirt or racer-back tshirt in all possible colours. You can wear this with jeans for regular day at college, with long/short skirt for outing with friends and with blazer for dinner dates. These are versatile and can be accesorised with chunky necklaces/bangles/earrings etc.

THE BEGINNING :)

   Hi everyone, here is my first post(nervous, well, a little, YES). A little about the me first, I am Stylophile (doesn't this say much about ME? :-D) from Mumbai, one of the "Fashionable City Hubs of India" ;-).

      Now about the blog, going by the dictionary definition of Stylophile ”n.A person who likes to dress up and seems to have a different outfit for every occsion. v. To dress up in fancy clothes whenever you go out because you don’t know who you’re going to meet, and you dont want to be dressed down” (via here). That is soooo me :-). And  as the blog name goes "STYLO-file" means a STYLE-File, a style diary. Here I will be posting anything and everything that catches my attention relating to Fashion /Style /Accessories /Makeup, Do's and Don'ts of fashion. So it will be a website in which I am going to file(blog) Style related post and hence the name "STYLO-File".

P.S. And I will also be starting an online shop(fingers crossed) in a few days, so stay tuned.
