My glittering glimmering ensemble for the festive season

I am yet to come across a person who does not like the festivals and all the festivities, celebrations and joy associated with them. Though I am the kind of a person who also takes fun in dressing up for the festivities, too. And why should I not, it is not everyday that I get a chance to get dressed up in a peculiar way for the festivals.

My dressing style for the round of festivities keeps changing as per the festivals and rituals associated with it. But for most of the times, my theme of dressing stays the same. When I came across the Shoppers Stop contest on http://www.indiblogger.in/, I could not help myself not thinking of a virtual make-over with the huge bounty of options at their online site, that could even give a match-stick a chance to get dressed up with some elegance. So, obviously I had a way lot of permutations and combinations at my disposal.

So, here I go with my ensemble, that I put across with the numerous options and sub-options available with them.

1. BASIC DRESSED KURTI

I loved this ethnic kurti the moment I saw it. I love the playful of colors in it; and the style of its choli and patterns at the bottom are just what made me go for it.


2. PLAIN GREEN PATIALA

I decided to match the playful-colourful kurti with this plain sheer coloured Patiala. It will compliment the kurti well, as it is "dark green" in colour. This colour is not that prominent in the kurti. So, this patiala sets a perfect match for the selected kurti.

3. STOLE

I loved this Shingora styled stole; and the very fact that it looks like a part of the kurti that I selected, is a major reason to pick up this one. Also, not to forget that it has fringed ends, that look very stylish....

4. SHOES

I felt so lucky the moment I glanced upon these ballerina-cum-Mojrie shoes by Haute Curry. They have the front look of a traditional mojrie, which go very well with patiala and kurti duo. But the interesting stuff is its ballerina ends with a buckle. They ensure comfort and look chic, and of course the golden trinkets are just divine. I could not have asked for anything more for these festivities.

5. NOSE PIN

Now after the main ensemble, I move on to the jewellery. I loved the simplicity of this nose pin. Just so simple and elegant.

6. EAR RING

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Fashion-Jewellery--Accessories-Earrings-AYESHA---Papyrus-Bud-Gold-Drop-Earrings-262.html

These antique feel crystal drop shimmering ear danglers seem to go perfect with my choice of attire.

7. NECKLACE

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Fashion-Jewellery--Accessories-Chains--Necklaces-AYESHA---Cluster-of-Topaz-beads-262.html

Going further with my theme of keeping the jewels to a bare minimum with just a little touch of shimmer, I found this necklace that merges well with my ear rings with a drop of crystals and a dull gold hue.

8. BRACELET

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Fashion-Jewellery--Accessories-Bracelets-AYESHA---Dull-Gold-Crystal-Bracelet-262.html

Oh I just love it, love it and love it. This bracelet has this vintage feel to it, and I love the middle rhinestone embedding. With its dull chained hoops, nothing else could have come close to my overall cast of jewelery for this festive look.

9. RING

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Fine-Jewellery-Rings-Nakshatra-18KT-Gold-Ring-with-0.15cts-diamonds-262.html

This ring by Nakshatra not only goes perfect as being beautiful in itself, but it also goes super-duper as a pal with my nose pin, since both are in 18k gold.

10. HAIR PINS

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Fashion-Jewellery--Accessories-Hair-Accessories-AYESHA---Sparkling-Gold-Bow-Hair-Sliders-262.html

Just when I thought I was done with my jewellery, I came across these beautiful hair pins. Just look at them, who will not want to include them in the festivities attire..well I might even keep on wearing them even after the celebrations are over. A big muah to them.

11. WATCH

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Watches-Fossil---Womens-Watch---ES2845-262.html

Since I am wearing that bracelet on my right hand, so I decided to wear this beautiful beautiful watch by Fossil on my left hand. The golden and platinum hues in this match up with my already selected jewelry to the big T.

12. HAND BAG

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Handbags-Hidesign---Handbag-262-316282-8570982.html

The first time I glanced upon this handbag, my eyes were just stuck to my computer screen ogling on this masterpiece. Just how did Hidesign get to know that I needed just this kind of bag to carry with me for this festive look!!

13. CLUTCH

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Wallets--Clutches-French-Connection-Ladies-Kimberly-Sparkle-Box-Clutch-262.html

Well, again it goes without saying that this clutch had to find a place in my ensemble. Together with the money in it, it will go inside my hand bag. Well, don't they both look like from the same clan??

14. PEN

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Pens-Century-14Kt-Rolled-Gold-Ball-Pen-By-Cross-262.html

I know this one looks nothing related to the sort of the theme of this contest, as the theme clearly states about picking and selecting apparels and accessories from the online retail site of Shoppers Stop, but picking up this pen and adding it to the list of accessories is not going to harm anyone, rather it will add to the overall theme of glitter and sparkling accessories that I have already selected. And you never know I might just flash this one at the time of need, well people do play games like Tambola during the get together of festive season. I am sure if that happens, me and my Cross pen will dazzle for sure.

15. BELT

http://www.shoppersstop.com/cat-Women-Womens-Accessories-Belts-Haute-Curry---Womens-Fancy-Belt-262-324062-7532642.html

And when I thought I was done with my glitter accessories, I just stumbled upon this gorgeous golden belt. I am sure by now each one of you reading the post will agree to this. Just how can I say no to it. This belt will snug tightly to my kurti, and will make my profile stand out.

16. FINAL TIT-BIT
I was just wondering if I left anything out that could have made my festive look more prominent, and it struck me that I had ignored my undergarments. Well, how can one possibly leave out such an important part of one's wardrobe. So, now here I include the most important of the festive look, since this serves as the base of the entire overall outer appearance. And yes, you have guessed it correct. It is also in the glittery, shimmering tone of Gold...

So finally I think my festive look is done with the accessories and apparels from the Shoppers Stop festive collection. Hope it turns out good when done in real.

Hope you like it....Let me know if you do not...Happy Celebrations....
