.Camo.

Hey guys!
2014 is in full swing and as we uncover the fashion trends there is no way we can ignore the camouflage or the camo. Its been around for years, never fully disappearing. Infact, Vogue magazine picked up on the use of camo print in terms of fashion as early as 1943. There is a sort of love-hate relationship with this print. Its either the flavour of the month or the ultimate fashion faux-pas. Even though the print has a masculine and tough vibe, it totally works for both men and women. It is now being in re-interpreted at a large scale, getting a modernised and chic make over. Its a rough-and-tumble situation with the fashion addicts of the world putting their own crazy spin to this trend.


Camo is the perfect way to give an outfit a little edginess. But it can be tricky to style if you're just jumping on the bandwagon. My main tip would be to start small. Let the print be only one part in your outfit. I've paired my shorts with a black sweater and black boots. To bring a little extra to the outfit I put on my teal socks and pulled them enough to just show a peek of colour. A very comfortable and versatile outfit, you can wear this anywhere you fancy!



Outfit Details:
Black Sweater - Forever 21
Camo Shorts - Thrifted (Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi)
Black Boots -  Forever 21
Teal Socks - Cotton World
Aviators - Ray-Ban

.Winter Blues.

Hey guys!!!
 We're back this time with a new post. All about winter blues. Blue is a very versatile colour. Expecially in winters since we tend to gravitate towards darker colours. Blue in that case can be a life saver, so many shades to choose from!
This particular outfit is my winter staple. I love pulling out dresses from my summer/spring wardrobe and paring them with blazers, jackets and adding stockings for unshaved legs (come on all of us hate it during the winters). Sneakers are another fun element to pair with dresses, since it gives your outfit an edge. You can always dress the outfit up. Just put on a pair of heels, exchange the sling for a clutch, slap on a bright lipstick and you're good to go!





Outfit Details:
Blazer: DIY (I used to wear this in school )
Skater dress: Forever 21
Sling bag: Borrowed ( Mum's)
Shoes: Converse
Sunglasses: Thrifted (Colaba Causeway, Mumbai)

Hopefully you guys enjoyed the post and it helps you in the future. Keep in touch with us throught our facebook page www.facebook.com/SisterMash and tweet us at @becauseunicorns and @gunjanrathore

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.

Jewel Tones

Hey Guys!!
So we're here with another outfit post!
It's going to be a fall one. And if you're wondering why, I'm going to say to you that Gunjan and I live in Mumbai and we're originally from Delhi. You can take our word when we say its not winter here yet! Having said that lets move on to our post. :)
I think one main important that we should keep in mind during fall and winter is layering. Layering helps us in making better use of our wardrobe. Certain pieces that are spring or summer can be easily incorporated into your fall and winter wardrobe. This outfit does exactly that! I'm wearing a green jewel toned skater dress with a crochet top over it. The black crochet and the stockings help in breaking the monotony of the green. The stockings makes this outfit look uber chic and if you are living in Mumbai like us, you can convince yourself of the non-existent cold! Jewel tones also work amazing during this time of the year, they are amazing as accent pieces.

. 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!
Much love,
G&J
