Fusion Wear

With a petite frame, long black hair worn open, sans make-up and in a little white dress you could see Vani as a demure, shy girl-next-door. However, its her deep set eyes and a resolute gaze, a hint of a-sign-of-maturity grey on the mane, the chin-stud and her choice of accessories that bring out her quirks, her craft and her personality. Vani Gupta does bags and accessories that you see in the background.

Tribal jewelry has been about hammered metals, rough wire unpolished/uneven stones and has always appealed to me. One such confection on Vani drew my eyes, a neck piece made largely by twisting copper wires and twisting along beads of different colors/shapes/sizes along with a beaten copper leaf and a flower, making quite a unique accessory.

Keeping her liking to the beaten metal I presume, she wears a chunky silver ring on her forefinger.

She wears this bangle with wrapped silk threads in a vibrant yellow and adorned with kundan work which is so quintessentially Indian bling, will pair beautifully with any traditional Indian attire.

She carries a tote with pom-poms and distinctly Parsi floral embroidery in primary hues of red, blue and yellow.

With her varied choices and eclectic pairings Vani represents the cultural milieu that Mumbai street style has become all about! eager to know your views, don't you think?

How to DIY- Add the bling Women.

I bought these awesome pair of gold heels a couple of years back and wore them everywhere till the top layer started coming off. 

I was not ready to part with them yet since they were still in pretty good shape.

So here's what I did.

Bought spikes, roll of stitched in sequins and fevibond. All I needed the were a pair of scissors.

I tried variations first and then finally measured the distance. Cutting up the strips and gluing the spikes was the easy and fun part.

And here they are all shiny and new. Ready to go out?;-))

Another pair that needed a bit love and care.
