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.

. 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!

. Casual Fridays .

Hello there!
Hope you guys are doing very well!
So we decided to that our next post should be an everyday wear/casual post and something that is slightly less fancy.

Janvi's Outfit :

I'm wearing a top with tiny polka dotes and flared sleeves. I personally really really love the accessories I've paired the outfit with. This outfit is very casual and can be worn anywhere. A fun tip to keep in mind while shopping clothes is that it's better if you pick up pieces that can be dressed up as well as dressed down (unless you're looking occasion based clothing). A single piece of clothing can give a wide variety of combination for outfits of different kinds.

Janvi is wearing :

• Flared sleeve top - Cotton World
• Jeans - Pantaloons
• Ring, Black beaded bracelet - Karigar
• Charm bracelet - Gifted
• Black flat pumps - Max
• Purse - Gifted

Gunjan's outfit:

This outfit is probably one of my most favourite combinations ever. It has a whole play of contrasting elements and that really helps to make an outfit unique. More than the clothes its the accessories that excite me this time. The reason being that the three absolute favourites of mine in this outfit (the aviators, the silver kada and the simple white bead chain (here worn as a bracelet)) happen to belong to someone else. The aviators were my father's and he bought them when he first got commissioned as an army officer, so this pair happens to be over 25 years old. The silver kada belongs to my mother, who bought it from Rajasthan. Over the years we both have misplaced this kada so many times, but it has somehow always managed to find its way back to us. The third accessory happens to belong to my grandmother and I have seen this around her neck ever since I was puny little kid. Couple of years ago she gave it to me and even though its an inexpensive piece of jewellery I will always cherish it. :) 

Moving on to the clothes, my outfit is very versatile. The shirt itself can be worn in a couple of styles as displayed below. The gold knotted sandals are an outright contrast to the rest of the outfit but that's what adds to the charm ladies!

Gunjan is wearing:

• Blue shirt - Thrifted (Janpath, New Delhi)
• Black lace inner - Code (Marks and Spencer)
• Black Jeans - Thrifted (Linking Road, Bandra)
• Gold knotted sandals - Westside
• Leopard print statement ring - Karigar
• Aviators, silver kada, white beaded necklace - Gifted and borrowed ;) 

Outtakes:

This is the craziness that happens when the two of us shoot together. The random-est and lamest people you will come across! For more of the craziness, follow us on twitter and instagram!

. Glam it Up .

We both love our trends but don't follow them blindly. We tend to put our own twist to it cause that's just how we roll. ..LOL..not really..but you get the gist. 

This outfit post (being our first) we decided to keep it simple!

Janvi's outfit :

I took the plain old boring striped top and glammed it up with a asymmetric skirt and a pair of wedges. I really love the combination and it is a perfect outfit for a dinner date or an evening out with friends. To make this outfit more interesting a bright colored clutch or even a pair of bright drop earrings can be worn.

 

Janvi is wearing:

• Striped top - Thrifted (Linking Road, Bandra)
• Asymmetric skirt - Ginger
• Black bow wedges - Tresmode
• Earrings and bracelet - Thrifted (Hill Road, Bandra)
• Brown sling bag - Pushkar leather market (Puskhar, Rajasthan)

Gunjan's outfit:

I bought this skirt years ago from Sarojini Market, New Delhi and it has been lying in my closet ever since, so I decided it was time for an outing for this adorable piece. I'm wearing this with a coral-y pink lace collared top along with flat pumps in tan to add brightness to the outfit. This can be dressed up with tan/brown pair of heels. Furthermore, I'm carrying a rainbow clutch to add a touch of contrast and I've kept the accessories fairly simple. Its your quintessential 'day' outfit and it can worn for a brunch with your someone special or a trip to the movies.

Gunjan is wearing:

• Lace collared top - Max
• Sequined paisley skirt - Thrifted (Sarojni Market, Delhi)
• Flat pumps in tan - Max
• Rainbow clutch -  Gifted
• Accessories - Thrifted

Much love!
