Friday Night!

Time to become a wild child!

After a tough week at work, I'm ready to welcome the weekend with a mischievous grin. 

Plan for the night:

1. Get my hair done (Check)
2. Get my nails done (Check)
3. Apply the right make up (Working on that..)
4. Wear comfortable yet sexy shoes
5. Meet up with friends for dinner
6. Go dancingggg afterwards
7. Come home and doze off for 10 hours

Here's what I plan to wear:

Pink lipstick with black for a change instead of red

Glitter clutch from Zara

I'm going all
black with my
LBD from Zara

Following the bracelet stacking trend- not too
 much, but not unnoticeable either

Aldo high heels with ankle strap

Okay girls, I'm getting late now!

Enjoy your night :)

The Blogger's Brand

It's what we learn in management classes in school and college. The five-letter word which has every company fighting for more, wanting more customers- of any kind- readers, purchasers, subscribers, consumers and trying to win from competition. 

BRAND- is the marketing word I'm talking about.

Wherever you're sitting right now, this very second, look around you. Everything that surrounds you will be a product of creation of a company that has launched that "facility" to you under their "brand name". My iPad is lying right next to me, so I don't need to think of a better example. Apple is the biggest tech brand of our generation. It has reached such a peak in its graph that it doesn't need to market it anymore. Its loyal customers are its marketeers. They promote the product through word of mouth- and now that's more than sufficient. 

So what would be a blogger's brand value? I'm certainly not blogging for money, so is my blog actually considered a "brand"? Is it my "product"? These questions are a mystery to me.. I'm actually clueless. 

When I wanted to start writing a blog, it was only because I had so many thoughts in my head that I wanted to just pin down somewhere; thinking that maybe later in life I'll actually go through my blog and read my thoughts. I wanted to share ideas with people around me- anonymously of course (I am kind of shy in many ways), which is why I don't disclose my details or upload my personal pictures. 

Anyway, so when I wanted to start writing I knew in a second what I it was going to be about. It had to be something to do with clothes, 'cause well, I'm a girl. And it had to be related to what I do almost everyday- and I saw a need there. I noticed how women in our society hardly made any effort to look good to work. I thought, why would they not? They are AT work 60% of the day. Why not dress well for that?

So hence, an idea coupled with the internet- i.e. with the help of blogger and Facebook, I started thinking and writing. And I know I haven't been blogging for long- it's only been 4 months! But I have learnt so much these past 4 months. I'm practically juggling between my Facebook page and work. The blogging is constantly drawing me towards it. Wanting to write more, read more, learn more, share more, click more.

It's just the beginning of a long journey I hope.. I hope CGC, which has 41 likes on Facebook today and no followers on blogger, grows into a big brand, a blogger brand. A brand everyone knows. (ha ha I am thinking too optimistically right?)

But for now, I've designed my brand logo and picture for the time being. Hope you like it :)

That Flirty Valentine's

Day after is Valentine's Day- the day of and for love. Why not love what you wear? Why not flaunt some flirty colours? Why not live up to the rep of the day?

I thought this was a great way to actually write and showcase the two colours I haven't until today, in spite of the fact that they're my favourite(yes, no guesses required there)- red and pink. 

Red is the colour of passion and pink is the colour of being flirtatious. Well, at least in my head. Ha ha.
Here are some V-Day looks for you to try:

This is a more liberal option. Wear a short skirt with a shirt
underneath the long red coat. And long boots to go.

At some work places, wearing too much red is frowned upon.
But not if the rest of your outfit isn't very bling, the red sweater
will just add glam!

If you're shy to wear red, sport a light pink sweater with a
white shirt instead. I carried my Burberry sling bag to complete
the look.

Another option is to wear a colourful shirt directly with matching
shoes (red here) and the rest of the elements are black and beige to
even it out.

And for those official V-day parties:

Choose between a pink or red Valentino dress from Spring 2013
Collection. Also notice the tiny pointed shoes

Some more office looks and accessories:

Seeing my pink nailpaint while working on my laptop makes me feel ecstatic.
Somehow. 

Let everything else be like everyday
wear- just let your pink
Valentino bag do the eye catching

A red salwar kameez with minimal print-
love the length and colour

Red Jimmy Choo heels 

Keep it flirty with flowers or a add a feminine
touch with a pink blazer- All H&M

Hope this blogpost has given you plenty of ideas.

Keep it flirty girls
