.Winter Florals.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

We hope 2014 is a year filled with happiness, love, travel and all the good things in life. We wish you all the luck! Hope you bought in the New Year surrounded by loved ones.
We’re back in the New Year with a new post all about winter florals. Yes, florals in the winters!! It’s hard to believe, right?  Floral prints have been one of the leading trends this season. Very popular throughout the runways across the world.

Now the thing is I wasn’t very fond of this particular pair of pants. I got them as a gift and you know how it is. They stayed in the back of my closet for the longest time until I decided my resolutions for this year. One of them happens to be to try and use the rest 80% of my closet instead of the usual 20%. And that’s how this outfit came about. And guess what, I think I'm in love with the pants. In this outfit, I’ve paired the pants with a solid black sweater and brown strappy heels. I went with the one solid colour for the top because I feel the pants are loud and the black helps in toning it down.  And I went for the brown heels to break the monotony of the black in the outfit.

Outfit Details:

Black sweater - Forever 21

Floral pants - Honey

Brown heels - South Ex, New Delhi (I rattled my brain hard on this one and I just can't remember the name of the shop)

Bow sling - Stolen from the bestie! (Forever New though)
Arm candy - Thrifted (Colaba Causeway,Mumbai)

Hopefully I’ll be able to break out of my black clothes ‘shell’ in 2014! It's really hard guys! :(

New Years Eve's Glam: Part II

Hey Guys!

I'm back with the second part of our new years series. Can you believe it's almost 2014!? 2013 went by so fast. No worries let us welcome 2014 with lots of happiness and joy. And of course in style! I'm super excited for 2014. I hope you have an amazing one.

New years for me all about dancing and spending the last night of the year with your family and having a jolly time. During this time we need to keep our clothes comfy and stylish at the same time. How do we do that? Pick a dress in a solid colour, as i have in black. Pair it with a very different coloured blazer or jacket. Always remember to add a statement piece to catch others eyes. Another tip for all you dance-o-holics out there, please please remember to carry a pair of separate flats if you plan on wearing high heels, save your feet the torture! I seriously love this outfit and plan on wearing it this new years.

Outfit Details:

Olive green jacket - Thrifted 

Black maxi - Forever 21

Black bow open toe wedges - Tresmode

Black and gold necklace - Thrifted (Colaba Causeway)

Rings - Thrifted (various)

I hope this helps you all tweet us your photos at @becauseunicorns and @gunjanrathore. Keep in touch with us through our Facebook page (like and share please!) or email us at sistermash@gmail.com.

But don't worry Sister Mash is here to help you out. I'm here with 2 different outfits which can give you ideas to look drop dead gorgeous without much fuss. A very happy new year in advance and hope you guys have an amazing time!

This outfit has all the elements for being fun, outgoing and vivacious. Even though this outfit is all black, it is very flattering. The accessories and the shoes add colour to the outfit and succeed in lifting the outfit. This outfit is perfect if you're planning to dance the night away (like I am), just remember to carry a pair of cute flats to save your feet from all the pain! 

Outfit Details:

Black top - Thrifted (Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi)
Pencil skirt -  Forever 21
Red peep toes - Tresmode
Necklace -  Thrifted (Linking Road, Bandra)

Black clutch -  Forever New

Moving on to the next outfit, its more relaxed and laid back but in no way less stylish. Its a perfect outfit for an intimate get together at a friend's or casual party. Its comfortable and very accessible. You can have fun with your hair, just plait it to the side or make a low romantic bun. If you're going to dance just lose the jacket and let  your hair down. Colours in the outfit are very fall/winter. Don't forget to use make up that complement these colours. Replace the heels with booties and the outfit becomes biker chic! You're bound to be the talk of the town. Go have fun!

. Fall Fashion .

Hey pretty peeps!

Hope you're doing well. I know we haven't been around for quite a while but we're back and raring to go!!

Fall happens to be my favourite season. Since Mumbai doesn't get much of a winter, fall just becomes an extended season which makes me a very happy person for more reasons than one! For this post, I roped in one of my closest friends, Shreya Shetty, who also happens to be an amazing photographer! Her work is beautiful and she inspires me all the time. You can see more of her work here. (First collaboration! YAY!)
  

Fall fashion can be pretty versatile and its just so much fun! You can layer up without dying of heat and look absolutely fabulous. Jewel tones work wonders for fall, you don't need to go full on but accents here and there really help getting an outfit together. This outfit is a classic combination of blue denims and white shirt and to give it a fall twist I've added a coral stole along with chocolate boots. The bag is neutral, the accessories are mix of ethnic and modern to keep it interesting.

I am wearing:

White Shirt - Cotton World
Blue Denims - Clothes Rack
Coral Stole - Thrifted (Colaba Causeway)
Boots - Thrifted (Delhi)
Leather Bag -Scored at the Station Gift shop in Mhow Cantt
Jewelry - Thrifted (various)

Hope you guys enjoyed the post! We've got loads in store so you can keep in touch with us through our Facebook page (like and share please!) or email us at sistermash@gmail.com

.Denim Dreams.

Hey guys!!
Hope your week is treating you fabulously! Here's a mid-week treat for you guys! :)

Denims Denims Denims!! Denims are versatile, they're tough, durable, easy to work with, fashionable, warm, the list is endless! Originally worn by workers, they traveled from cowboy movies to casual wear worn by soldiers during the World War II. During the 1950's denims acted as a sign of rebellion and it was the 1980's when the jeans finally made it's breakthrough into high street clothing. Designers like Gucci started manufacturing jeans. Different types and styles of jeans were created, the flares were dropped and in came the super skinny jeans, acid washes and little Denim jackets. Denim really has taken the fashion industry by storm and are here to stay.

Janvi's Outfit:
Denims particularly jeans always stay in fashion. But recently denims used in other clothing as shirts, skirts etc have made a comeback in fashion. Denims are very versatile and can be worn for every occasion. This denim shirt can also be worn as a jacket or a blazer. To add that extra bit to your outfit you can add a trendy necklace or you can put your hair in a bun and add chandelier earrings.









Janvi is wearing:

Aztec denim shirt (Thrifted) - Topman
Jeans - Pantaloons
Spiked black ballet flats- Ginger
Spiked black and gold necklace (Thrifted) - Colaba Causeway
Watch (Thrifted) - Colaba Causeway
Crossbody bag with gold hardware - Rhysetta
Sunglasses (Thrifted) - Colaba Causeway
Gunjan's Outfit:

Denim shirts are the latest trend to take the world of the fashion by storm. You can see them everywhere these days. They're affordable and very very easy to style. Pair them with leggings, jeans or jeggings ( best of both worlds ;) ). Here, I have paired the shirt with pale pink jeans to create a sort of contrast. I'm not the biggest fan of colour coordinating my outfits and accessories..contrast is the key! Unless we're talking about black, then I'm the complete opposite.










Gunjan is wearing:
Denim shirt (Thrifted) - American Eagle
Pale pink jeans (Thrifted) - Linking road, Bandra
Brown ballet flats - Ginger
Sling bag - Forever New
Watch (Thrifted) - Colaba Causeway
Earrings- Tribal Zone
Arm bands (Thrifted) - Colaba Causeway


Hope you guys enjoyed the post!!

. Monochrome Madness .

Hey guys!

Hope you guys are doing well and are thoroughly enjoying the monsoons! We know we've been ignoring Sister Mash, its been a crazy couple of months. *obligatory apology inserted here*
So one of the most popular trends this season are the monochromatic styles. They are easy to style and are extremely flattering to any body type. Monochromatic clothing doesn't only mean pairing black with white but bold colors. Summertime monochrome calls for hot pinks, minty greens and primary blues. Of course, all-white or pastels are always an option, with hints of ivory or cream to streamline your ensemble. Though in our post we've stuck to the traditional black and white. Leave us a message on Facebook.com/SisterMash if you want to see more variations of this look! 

Janvi's Outfit:

I'm in love with this look!!! AHHHHHH. I am pretty sure that most of you must have noticed that I tend to gravitate toward monochromatic styles. I believe in the philosophy that less is more. The monochrome trend is very IN this season.  I am in love with this outfit. It is a very chic and classy option. I would probably wear this outfit to a night out. To tone the outfit down, the heels can be replaced with sporty converse or a pair of thong sandals. 

Janvi is wearing:

• White lace peplum top - Ginger
• Black jeans - Pantaloons
• Brown pumps - Tresmode 
• Watch - Colaba Causeway
• Blue bracelet - Colaba Causeway 

Gunjan's Outfit:

So basically whenever I plan to go out I invariably end up wearing black. So this style is right up my alley. Since my ensemble is all black, I've tried to break monotony with the gold spiked necklace and the nude heels. Swap the heels with gold flats and the necklace with a bright scarf to dress down this look. In terms of make up, I don't have a lot on but to avoid looking washed out I went with red lips. A dash of a bold lipstick really help in pulling a look like this together.

Gunjan is wearing:

• Black Jeans - Linking Road, Bandra
• Black beaded top - Sarojini , Delhi
• Nude heels - Paprika
• Studded necklace - Colaba Causeway

Share your pictures with us of your monochromatic outfits on Facebook! Hope you enjoyed the post. 

Cheers!

. Of Nerdy Glasses and Shorts .

Hey you guys!!

Hope you're being awesome as always. Its just getting crazy right? The heat we mean. Well, we're sure this outfit post will help you beat the heat. 

Janvi's Outfit:

This outfit probably something that I would wear on an everyday basis. I love this checked shirt and its one of my wardrobe favourites!! I am always looking for a excuse to wear it. This shirt also has a asymmetric hem line and studs at the collar making it my favorite piece of clothing 

(asymmetric hem line + Studs = LOVE). This outfit is very causal and can be dressed up by adding a pair of disco pants or normal pair of black denims instead of the shorts, you can also add in a pair of pumps or wedges.

Janvi is wearing: 

• Flannel studded shirt - Thrifted (Colaba Causeway)
• Shorts - Levi
• White shoes - Converse
• Ring - Thrifted 
• Black Cloth bracelet 

Gunjan's Outfit:

This is the perfect outfit to chill with friends. In summers, I literally live in my shorts. These pair of denims were actually full length, the fit wasn't to my liking so I chopped them off and voila the perfect summer accessory to have! I know the nerdy glasses are a bit over the top.. but frankly who cares..Whatever rocks your style boat I say!! Also, you can easily turn this into a beach outfit by losing the scarf and belt and exchanging the shoes for some cute flip-flops.

Gunjan is wearing:

• Grey sleeveless top - Thrifted
• Denim shorts (previously jeans) - Levi's
• Purple shoes - Max
• Belt - Max
• Printed scarf - Thrifted (Sarojini Market, New Delhi)

. Maxi Love .

Hi guys!
How have you been. Hope you are doing well. Sorry we've been M.I.A, it's just been a crazy month filled with lots of travelling and well sadly, sickness. Really sorry for the delayed post.

Maxi dresses are one of the MOST comfortable pieces of clothing that you will ever find. The trend of maxi dresses actually started way back in the '60s, by reputed designer Oscar De La Renta who designed a beautiful full length cotton lace dress for the Elizabeth Arden salon. It became a fashion phenomenon after this. The '60s movie Dr. Zhivago is also responsible for the maxi gaining popularity amongst the masses. The leading designers of the '70s such as Dior, YSL, Cardin, all created their signature maxi styles. Even though the popularity of  maxi dresses went down in the '80s (replaced by ra ra skirts and other trends) they were back in action by the mid 90s and the trend has been around ever since. 

How to style the maxi:

As maxis are now longer than ever be sure that your dresses fall to the perfect spot – never wear a dress that trails on the ground – if you are wearing flats the hem should fall to your anklebone, not below.

It’s a myth that shorter girls can’t wear maxis, but it is wise for petite girls to choose more tailored silhouettes as dresses that are both long and billowing will simply swamp a smaller figure.

Maxi dresses also suit women of all body types. Curvy, skinny or anything in between maxi dresses will make you look beautiful and graceful. Our outfit's are minimally accessorized as we didn't want to take attention away from the maxi.

Janvi's Outfit:

Janvi is wearing:

• Zebra print maxi dress - Thrifted
• Silver chappals - Thrifted (Coloba Causeway)
• Necklace - Thrifted
• Bracelet - Thrifted

Gunjan's Outfit:

Gunjan is wearing:

• Printed maxi dress: Thrifted
• Tan strappy sandals - Thrifted (Hill road, Bandra)
• Ring - Pantaloons

Hope you enjoyed the post. 

Cheers!

Much love
