#OneLookADayProject Week 2: 7 Day Round Up

  Follow me on Instagram!

Let me put it out there for the world and you; I usually have very un-eventful weeks! But this one was different. It was obviously filled with the usual hustle bustle of work life but this week I not only celebrated Diwali but also celebrated graduation! Yes, I graduated this week and hence you can best believe, this week was a special one.

For this week’s round up, I’d like to state, this is so not easy! I genuinely don’t know how I’ve completed 14 days aka 2 weeks of fashion blogging!

Day 8 of the #OneLookADayProject was Diwali, which meant I wasn’t going to leave you hanging about what I wore, duh! So for this time round, I wore something I previously owned and true to staying away from myths and stereotypes, I actually didn’t buy anything new. I wore this red salwaar suit, which came with golden palazzo pants, which I love! For any of you who have been around here for a long time, you’d know how much I dig comfortable clothes and this was no less of a surprise!

For day 9 of the #OneLookADayProject, I wanted to my outfit to encompass elements of being boss like, casual and most importantly comfortable. So, I decided to pair this pale pink polo Tommy Hilfiger shirt with my you’ve-seen-these-pants-before pants. I, of course completed this look with classic black vans! (Did you know I was on the waitlist to purchase these vans for like a month? I don’t know why you needed to know that, but I decided to put it out there anyway!)

Day 10 of the #OneLookADayProject was super fashion-esque in my opinion. I wore this wonderful corset top and paired them with my jeans-you’ve-seen-before jeans from forever21! I completed the look with some wedges from shoe mart! From all the looks I did that week, this was actually one of my favorites, solely because as un-comfy as it looks, it wasn’t!

#OneLookADayProject Day 11: I think I was channeling a very sporty vibe that day (weird enough someone asked me whether I was going for a match lol!). For this day, I decided to go for very neutral colors and I paired these grey pants with a simple white top and white classic superstars shoes-you’ve-seen-before.

For day 12 of the #OneLookADayProject, I again paired my you’ve-seen-these-pants-before pants from forever21 with these gorgeous puffed sleeve top and pearl necklace! I actually don’t have a lot to say about this outfit, but let me tell you a quick story. I took photos in this outfit probably a 100 times, and guess how many I put up on Instagram?

Day 13 of the #OneLookADayProject was the day I graduated! A special day for me, which I decided to share with all of you! Funny story, I actually had an outfit post planned for the day, which I decided to withdraw at the last minute because graduation duh! P.S my heels are from Debenhams!

To wrap up the week and for day 14 of the #OneLookADayProject, I’m wearing another ruffled sleeve top from Zara and I paired it with jeans-you’ve-seen-before jeans from forever21 (Again! Yaay!)

That's all for this week! See ya next week where I repeat outfits but show you different variations, until then, bye!

#OneLookADayProject: 7 Day Round-Up

  Follow me on Instagram! (Yes, I start with shameless promotion)

As I write this today, I realize it’s been forever since I last posted on my blog. In everything that I used to do on a daily basis, or rather still do on a daily basis, what I’ve come to realize is that writing or coming up with outfit ideas, is something that I love doing. In the past few years and months of doing is, what I hadn’t cleared out is, I don’t want to be a high-fashion blogger.

I don’t want to be that blogger who talks about big, premium brands. The one who tags names of brands that you’d see only in a Harrods or in a Paris Gallery in UAE or rather in the much exclusive “fashion-avenue” of Dubai Mall. Not that there’s anything wrong with bloggers who do that kind of thing (you do you!), but it’s not me.

I want to be that blogger who can show you how simple items can you make you look your best. I want to be that blogger who shows you style doesn’t necessarily need to come at a price and that you can still look great with a 49AED top on. Most importantly, I want to be that blogger who talks about brands that you can actually buy and not dream of buying (oh the dreams I’ve had of owning a pair of Christian Louboutins…)

A week ago, I started the #OneLookADayProject on Instagram, where I show you what I’d wear on a daily, throughout the week. In this blog, I am rounding up all the outfits I wore throughout the week! Hold up though, if you haven’t been following me on Instagram, you should! You can find me on the handle @arohib.   Click here! 

Let me start off by saying, it’s not easy thinking about what to wear. Plus, I don’t think I’m ever going to get over doing these fashion outfit shoots and have everyone look at me.

For day 1 of the #OneLookADayProject, I chose black on black. I can hear all the fashion Gods looking down on me and shaming me for not starting with a pop! I did not start off with a yellow, making me look like a tulip outfit, but instead I went for the dullest color in the palette, also one of the best. Ladies, I’d like to clarify, this is a lazy girl’s outfit and that’s okay. P.S. I started off on a weekend, I’m bound to be lazy about all of this.

Day 2 of the project was also the first day of the week (which meant weekend blues…), it also meant I wore blue to work (lol, sorry for this horrible joke). When it comes to shoes, I’ve realized, it’s a hard battle between wearing heels or something comfortable. Obviously, comfort triumphs in this look.

For day 3, I wore this top from Shein! Let me let you in on a secret, I hate online shopping. Again, I know I’m letting down every fashion God and blogger by saying this; they are really looking down on me now and nodding their heads in dismay. If you haven’t caught on so far, Shein is an online shopping website and the top I’ve styled is from them. I’m not paid to say this (although I wish I was), this top is super comfy and looks great for the price I paid.

For day 4, I literally wore what I have previously worn for an outfit post. YES, I repeat outfits (cue for fashion Gods to leave and realize there’s no hope here).

READ THIS: I wanted to address this a while ago and it’s something that’s been on my mind. Society and the social media platforms we are all on and grown closely to, has a huge impact on certain perceptions about fashion and this myth about “repeating outfits”. I know of so many girls who would not dare to repeat an outfit ever again and risk being caught dead in the same outfit. I want to tell you its okay. It’s okay to wear the same thing again and again. Just because Instagram is filled with girls who don’t repeat their outfits, that doesn’t mean you’ve got to be one of them. Everyone repeats outfits. You’ve just got to realize, you’ve got to be comfortable in what you wear and really, who cares?

BTW, I styled this entire look with an overcoat from Zara, which I think is something all you girls need to invest in.

Day 5 of the #OneLookADayProject, I wore my work outfit with vans. As weird as it sounds, its super comfy! If you gave me a choice between wearing heels or some kind of comfortable shoe, I’d always choose the latter, always! And I speak for the majority of the girls when I say no to heels.

A post shared by Arohi Bangera (@arohib) on Oct 17, 2017 at 11:00pm PDT

Day 6 was a Thursday! Thursday is always a good day, it’s a sign of the weekend nearing. So funny story, I found these baggy pants in forever 21 which I thought looked like PJs first and mannequins in forever21 or rather mannequins in general have this weird thing of making even the stupidest thing look good and lo behold, I bought it! At first, I genuinely didn’t know how to style this but I think I pulled it off. These pants are so comfy btw!

A post shared by Arohi Bangera (@arohib) on Oct 18, 2017 at 9:35pm PDT

For the final day of the week I decided to wear this. Yes, I repeat my shoes here, I’ve worn this for an outfit this week already and it’s okay honestly.

A post shared by Arohi Bangera (@arohib) on Oct 20, 2017 at 5:39am PDT

If you don’t already follow me on Instagram, you should! You can find details to all my outfits there.

I’ll be back next week for another round up and banter, until then, I look forward to connecting with you on Instagram!

Comfortable Fashion.

Hey you guys!

I'm not even going to get started on how delayed I am on these blogs. This time round I decided to show you what I'd wear on a regular basis and not cease to get bored of the clothes I'm wearing. Honestly, I'd wear this to university, to the mall or just when I really need to be comfortable doing what I ought to be doing. So I decided to pair a floral crop top with these military green haram pants. You can be as stylish as you want with these, styling it with other kinds of crop tops, bralettes or whatever else you could think of. 

They beauty of these pants are honestly the fact that you can pair them with multiple colors and they'd all look really great. I usually wear a black v neck tucked inside with a long chain to accessorize. But that's your call! 

P.S. Do follow me on Instagram, click here! (I try to post there more often than I post here so...)

Outfit Details:

Top: Forever 21

Pants: Vero Moda

Flats: New Look

Do let me know how you liked this one! Until next time, see you guys!

Shades of Blue.

Hey you guys!

Off shoulder tops have been in trend lately and this time round I decided to experiment with them! In this blog post, I decided to wear a light blue off shoulder top with some blue jeans and a touch of brown, like always. This outfit as a whole is so damn comfortable yet could be worn literally for any sort of event! Especially in the heat that exists nowadays, this light outfit really does make the cut!

This outfit works well for a day out or just to wear to university as well! I stuck to very light makeup like always, just because it compliment the outfit much better than a heavy face would.

Outfit Details:

Top: H&M

Jeans: Pepe

Flats: New Look

Bag: Mango

Until next time!

Casual Thursdays.

Hey you guys!

When I think of casual, I instantly picture myself in a white top and some ripped jeans and honestly you can never go wrong with it! Whenever you don't know what to wear to university or just for a night out with your friends, put on some ripped jeans and a white top of any kind and trust me you're good to go!

So for this look, I did exactly that! I think one piece of clothing every girl should own is a ripped pair of jeans. Ladies, you should definitely invest in one. It's comfortable, hip and looks good on everyone. I paired the outfits with some copper-golden flats and a white gold necklace, which gives the outfit a little pop. For the makeup, I decided to keep it simple like always and stuck to a slightly nude lip and bold eyes.

Outfit Details:

Ripped Jeans: Zara

Top: Forever 21

Choker/Necklace: Stradivarius

Flats: New Look

Until next time, see you!

Kylie Jenner Lipstick Dupes!

Hey lovelies!

I know it’s been pretty long, but I’m so excited to be posting this blog for you and I really hope it makes up for all the lost time! I’ve been following Kylie Jenner on Snapchat for a pretty long time now and apart from her constant lip singing and swaying to rap songs, she also talks a lot about her lipstick range! Every girl at one point of time would have thought about owning these products and some of you already do, but they sell out so quickly! I mean it’s just a matter of minutes and all the products seem to disappear, which is so weird but at the same time it’s understandable!

Beauty enthusiasts on various platforms rave about owning these products and it’s such a big hype! Hence I decided why not show you guys some dupes that I thought look exactly like the Kylie Jenner lipsticks and are affordable at the same time!

Now please note that, for the lipsticks that I did find dupes for, they don’t look exactly like the lipsticks, some do, some don’t, but in all entirety, they are very similar and come in cheaper prices, so without further ado, read ahead lovelies!

Candy K VS NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: Abu Dhabi

Candy K is a very light-ish brown shade and according to me is a perfect nude. The dupe for this $29 lipstick is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in the shade Abu Dhabi. It honestly is a lot like the Candy K lipstick, both promise to give the perfect nude lip, but one is a lot of cheaper than the other!

Mary Jo K VS MAC Ruby Woo

Mary Jo K is a very dark red lipstick. Finding a dupe for this Kylie lipstick was pretty simple and technically very easy to find at it! One of the lipsticks that really matched was the MAC Ruby Woo shade in matte.

Posie K VS Revlon Colorburst: Sultry

The Posie K lipstick by Kylie is actually a really pretty mauve sort of a pink, which I really like. The dupe that I found for it was the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in the shade Sultry that really resembles this shade of Kylie’s lipstick. The Revlon Colorburst range has these amazing colors that are dupes for so many expensive lipsticks out there!

Koko K VS Maybelline: Nude Flush

Koko K is a lot like Posie K. A lot of people on the Internet suggest that the Maybelline lipstick in the shade nude thrill is a really good dupe for Koko K by Kylie but in my personal opinion, I preferred a slightly darker version of the Maybelline Lipstick in the shade Nude Flush, for which I really couldn’t find a good resolution picture though.

Exposed VS Bobbi Brown: Beige

Exposed from the Kylie selection of lipstick is a true brown! One of the most excellent dupes for this shade would definitely be the Bobbi Brown Lipstick in the shade Beige. It is such a beautiful shade for Indian Skin especially!

22 VS Maybelline: Neon Red

22 is yet another bold shade from the Kylie Jenner collection. It’s a very vibrant orang-ish red. A very cheap dupe for this shade is definitely the Maybelline’s Neon Red lipstick. It’s affordable and offers you a very similar 22 shade.

Kourt K VS NYX: Transylvania

 The last shade that I found a dupe for was the Kourt K shade of the collection, named after Kourtney Kardashian herself. The dupe that I found for this product was something that other people also talked about, the NYX Matte Lip Cream Lipstick in the shade Transylvania.

Until next time, see you guys!

What I wear when I don't know what to wear!

Hey you guys!

The title literally speaks what this entire post is all about. Have you ever been in an situation where you get for university or work and you stand in front of you cupboard just thinking of a wardrobe combination that you either haven't worn in a while or something that will make you look fabulous? And after constant rummaging through your cupboard, you come to just one conclusion, always, "I have no clothes!".

Literally always happens to me, but that's what I'm here to tell you about! What I wear when I don't know what to wear. You can pair a white shirt with some denims, you can never go wrong with that outfit ever or you can wear what I'm wearing in this post, a black top with some high waist jeans and a pullover just to give it a tad bit more edge. For further pairing and to look more she, just throw in a statement necklace and a bag, and you're good to go!

High Waist Jeans: New Look

Pullover: Forever 21

Sandals: New Look

Bag and Necklace: Splash
