Stylish By Nature By Shalini Chopra | India Fashion Style Blog | Beauty | Travel | Food

So glad to receive this beauty

Sudio Klang

as a gift last week! All the way from Sweden <3

I have been looking for the perfect in-ear earphones for a while, but could not find any design which was stay in ear when travelling or running, Sudio’s designed earphone hug your ears and make sure you are not disturbed during your moment of amazing song.

What I love about Sudio’s earphones is that it combines the elegant design with studio quality, at an affordable price.

This Swedish company puts the minimalistic design and preppy lifestyle in the whole experience. What do I mean by the whole experience? You will understand after seeing the unboxing pictures HaHa.

The Klang model I received is specially made for iPhone. It comes with a 3 buttons remote which can increase/decrease volume, pause/play the song, pick-up/hang-up calls, and jump to next/previous song. Isn’t that handy?

The in-ears rubber is also much more comfortable than I expected. I did have to change to the smaller size to have the better fit for my ears. So don’t forget to switch around option given in the box to find your perfect size! ;)

I have never seen an earphones company that is trying to convey the image of earphones is an Stylish accessary before, and that is why Sudio’s Klang had to be on StylishByNature.

I adore this stay-in-ear function of Klang. Klang has one cord longer than the other, putting the longer cord behind the neck will prevent the earphones falling out from the ears. It may seems a bit bizarre at first, but I tried it and it works guys. It is just like an accessary when you are not wearing the earphones. Just elegantly lying around your shoulders, with the golden details.

Here are some specs for Sudio’s Klang,

Type: 10.0 mm Dynamic Speaker
Sensitivity: 102 dB SPL @ 1 kHz
Impedance: 32 Ohm @ 1kHz
Frequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz

Check out Sudio’s official website if you want to find out more about the company: www.sudio.se !

If you are interested in purchasing a pair, here is the good news - It is now available in India! Here are some suggestions of where to buy online in India

Hi Everyone,

Entire Outfit - United Colors of Benetton

Tribal Queen Choker Necklace - YouShine

Is it just me or are some of these trends super intimidating?

Floral prints have been all the rage this season, so it's inevitable that they be found in all colors, styles, and shapes. Floral is traditionally a really feminine trend, which is probably why some people find it difficult to wear. But it can also easily be dressed up and made to look more sophisticated.

Floral shorts is something I desperately wanted to fall in love with. I want to have my own pair of floral shorts to rock around the city at day parties or shopping trips...and this beauty from UCB made its way into my wardrobe.

Style Tip: Make sure to keep them as the statement piece and pair down with neutral separates so the look isn’t too busy

As you know, I have very practical sense of style. I aim for chic, trendy pieces but only splurge on staples. So, the inspiration behind this look was functionality pretty much. Hence, I wore a top that’s the same color as one of the hues in the shorts. Also, the asymetric shirt added the required flow and balance the overall look. Add glam accessories like a statement necklace and cute shoes.

Face off the niche of jewellery designing with this experimental neckpiece! This statement neckpiece is crafted in copper finished mesh pattern and further accentuated with multicolored woven fabric, red plastic ring beads and studded with green faceted stones.

Hi Everyone,

Entire Outfit - Max Fashions

Bag - Baggit

Photography - Nishal Lama (DropDStudio)

Remember how awesome skorts were, back in the day?

These skirt/shorts hybrids made playground activities a breeze, especially if you were a girly-girl like me and absolutely refused to wear pants. Culottes are much more stylish than the floral-embroidered denim skorts I used to own. Somewhere between the long tailored shorts from the spring 2013 runways and classic trousers came the culotte. he shorts-pants features really wide and low-hanging hemlines that hit the calf to just above the ankles, and remind us of the billowing and extra long jean shorts from the 90’s. As the temperature climbs, a pair of culotte shorts is the perfect outfit for wearing out and about during the day.

Culottes look super sleek and a bit retro on everybody, so I thought I'd devote this week's post to showing you how to style a pair of culottes

I paired these girly beauty with a bold crop top and platform sandals. Wear a black lace bandeau underneath to amp up the sex appeal. This modernizes the look and creates an edgy contrast that's super-chic, but still casual enough for day. Next, add neutral accessories like a solid color messenger bag and matching embellished accessories for interest. Complete this ensemble with girly jewelry with an edge, like this statement silver neck-piece. For the finishing touch, add a pop of bright color by painting your lips hot pink.

Another cool way I've found to wear them is to pair it with a long shirt un-tucked and belted. With the right shirt, it can create an illusion of a dress with a cute pleated bottom that looks very vintage-y!

I am sure you can't take your eyes from the bag I am carrying here !!

All Thanx to Baggit. Baggit has launched its “Play the Life Game” Campaign in honor of the different characters women display in their lives, like being naughty, feisty, liberated, selfish, carefree, daring and many more.

This beautiful aqua solid bag is my new go-to buddy. Its so spacious and sturdy. Enough to boost my confidence, versatile enough to match my changing moods, and give that extra push to do the things I love to do.

Soak in the sun carrying vibrant cum fashionable bags to look your best this season. Set against a palette of vibrant hues like royal blue, yellow and red, choose from a variety of bags ranging from slings to shoulder bags ‒essentials for a cool summer look that has the perfect blend of panache and comfort. Break free from the clichés and play the life game the way you want it to through Baggit’s chic fashion!

Hi Everyone,

Entire Outfit - United Colors of Benetton

An A line dress remains a staple in any woman's wardrobe.

Its simple cut is flattering on many body types and can be mixed and matched for different seasons. Women with pear shaped body have broader hips and narrower shoulders and smaller torso. They may appear more in proportion as the dress silhouette may accentuate the upper half and camouflage the lower half.

I love this A line dress from UCB and its versatility. Wearing a dress makes getting ready in the festive spirit super easy...

yes, will be wearing it again and again in different ways ....

- Throw a scarf over your shoulders for a fun addition to your outfit. For a scarf to work with a sundress, it should be made of a light fabric, like cotton or silk.

- If you think it might get chilly OR to dress up a sundress without looking too dowdy ... put on a cardigan or tweed jacket !!

- Add some jewelry to embellish your ensemble. Long or short necklaces and bangle bracelets look great with sundresses, and chandelier or feather earrings plus a ballerina bun is an especially good combination.

- Pick out shoes to go with your sundress. Flip-flops, flats, and even ankle boots will work, but never wear running shoes or Uggs; they're just too clunky for the streamlined summer look you want to achieve.

- Take your look from day to night with a structured blazer. Bonus style points if your blazer is in an interesting color or has typical cut!

No matter how you style your sundress, you’re bound to look fab.

Compliments from other people will make you feel awesome about your dress.

Hi Everyone,

Entire Outfit - Max Fashion

Shoes - OASAP

If I have to pick one ‘70s trend to adopt, it would have to be...

The button-front A-line skirt

This season, these skirts have been spotted everywhere—and thankfully, the shopping options are just as plentiful at
Max Fashion - the brand puts up the retro mood in the air.

Whether you choose a floor-length skirt or go more mod with a mini, there’s a button-up skirt to suit any mood. And undoubtedly the most in-demand fashion buys around at the moment. It’s all about the Seventies influence.

With this amazing polka dot, button-front A-line skirt..... the retro style just feels right. Button details down front add polished appeal to this soft A-line skirt. It looks really good with trainers and is incredibly versatile. You can wear it casually with a tee and retro sneakers or dressed up with a tie-detail blouse and ankle boot.

Its safe to say -"THE SKIRT that stole the summer"

Guess What !! Here is the inspiration behind this look -

Hi Everyone,

Monsoons are so imminent upon us. After bearing that extreme heat of the sun, those sunburns, tans, sweaty (and stinky) summer days. Monsoon comes as a sign of relief. But what about the tons of infections, it gets along with it, given to its damp and humid weather? Every season comes with some good news and some bad news and upto us to embrace it and make the best use of it.

Monsoon brings gloomy skies and cool showers....so why not welcome them in style !! Can't help myself dancing around in splitter splatter of rain showers and show some colors to gloominess outside.

To embrace this season in style, I swear by trendy rompers. They are not only super cute but roomy too....breathe easy and beat out the sweat in these floral print denim cute rompers by Max Fashion.

Here are my TOP 5 Monsoon surviving tips

1. Make sure to carry a tote to hold all your belongings and an umberella too ! My bag contains following important things -

Water Bottle - Our body loses fluids through sweat. Drink plenty of water.
Rose Water - It is a natural coolant which is refreshing .Wipe the skin with it several times a day.
Tissue Papers
Small Hand Towel
Talcum Powder
Hand Sanitizer

2. Flats are your best bet during monsoons. Keep them smelling fresh by spraying some talcum powder.

3. Prefer tying up your hair in cute lil ponies, however, if that's not your style....use wrap arounds or scarves to keep the frizz in control.

4. Wear most comfortable clothes and keep sweat at bay.

5. Always carry a waterproof jacket to safeguard from unexpected showers.

Hi Everyone,

Summers always brings with it heat, sweat, pollution and dirt.

My skin and hair surely gives me hard time, however, FRET NOT ..... I have a shortcut !!

Put layers of makeup and Simply chop off your hair to get rid of all the problems :)

I was happy in my own world, till last summer when I visited home to meet mom, flaunting my short hairdo.

PS. My mom has long luscious jet black hair and I donno how she manages to bear with all the hair problems which long hair bestows on you.

All my luring her to chop her hair went into the drain. She proudly mention that her hair is her most precious jewelry and she will take care of it the same way. Though secretly, I was wondering about her happiness maintaining her long locks with so much ease.

Not to miss a green bottle by her bedside always.

Being a mother, she always knew my love for long hair. It just took her a wink of second to see my camouflaged pain of short hair chopped out of sheer negligence and lack of time.

Sigh!! I couldn't help join back my work and it was time to say good bye mommy.

On my way back home, a simple sweep across my hair and I realized the hair damage has took over all the shortcuts. Thought of calling the mom for help, dunno why....gave it a skip.

I jumped with joy, when I unpacked my bag and found the secret weapon right there ....

Remember the GREEN bottle !!

Now that's MOM :)

Yes, that was a BIG U-turn for my hair care and I wanted to share the love with all of you.

Ever since I started using it, my unhealthy rough hair has stopped giving me a hard time like it used to. My hair has regained its former glory and has become healthier and silkier than ever before.

All thanks to Mom for introducing me to Vatika Coconut ++ Hair Oil.

Not only did it repair my damaged tresses naturally but also nourished them from deep within, making them healthy, strong and luscious. It has ingredients like lemon which makes cleans your hair, add luster and promotes healthy hair.

Heena promotes hair growth, conditions the hair and gives hair a soft and shiny texture. Neem prevents hair loss.

Now who doesn’t want a bottle full of sunshine!

Don’t let the summer heat or hair damage make you cut short your beautiful hair as well.

Nourish it with Vatika Coconut ++ Hair Oil to reclaim the beauty of your gorgeous tresses!

Till next time....Keep it STYLISH By Nature !!

Hi Everyone,

Entire Outfit - Max Fashions

Its monsoon season, however, your days need not be gloomy !!

In a world where external appearances do matter, and are often considered as the definition of character and individuality, dressing right during monsoons can be a tricky affair.

How about wearing a splash of bright colours and pair them with achromatic hues !!

This season the trend is all about being bold and vibrant, so ensure that you stand out in crowd. Keeping my date with monsoon fashion trends, I chose a this lovely tunic to brighten up my day and paired it with a yellow bag ... More is less, I must say !! Nothing is as comfortable as this tunic for lounging around those wet and humid days. Its flowy yet structured, comfy yet trendy and does fill justice with its bright color. Fabric is so light and wrinkle free which is easy to wash and dry.

Wedding !!

The word in itself is electrifying for us. And why not, Indian Weddings are one of a kind. They cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. The clothes worn by women would not be amiss at the Filmfare red carpet. But what about when the actual red carpet beauties get married.

Yeah the B-town weddings are most talked about and when it comes to the Bollywood brides it’s a different ball game altogether. They’re the epitome of Indian brides.

Here are 6 stunning Bollywood brides that dressed best on their D-day!

AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN

The entire India was glued to their TV sets to catch a glimpse of one of the most beautiful women of the world on her wedding. While everyone expected her to be decked up in a ravishing lehenga, she opted to stick to her roots and traditions.
A golden yellow Neeta Lulla Kanjeevaram saree with Sawrovski and real gold threads adorned the beautiful Miss World. Like a traditional South Indian bride she wore gold and kundan jewellery from head to toe with the traditional gajras adding more grace to her. Simple yet mesmerizing bride!

KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN

The beautiful princess of the Kapoor Khandan chose to wear her mother in law’s old gharara in her journey from Kapoors to Khans. However for their registered marriage at home Kareena wore a green suit with red dupatta. The actress looked gorgeous in the old red gharararestored byManish Malhotra for the main nikaah ceremony. So “Old is Gold” is what Bebo proved!

GENELIA D’SOUZA DESHMUKH

The sweet and bubbly bride was adorned with the Neeta Lulla golden kundan border saree. She looked stunning in the traditional maharashtrian wedding. For the reception she flaunted the red lehenga choli with a net dupatta designed by Shane and Falguni Peacock. The flairs of the lehenga made her look way more graceful.

Hi Everyone,

Entire Outfit - United Colors of Benetton
Hearts of Gold Neckpiece - YouShine

Do you hate getting up in the morning ?

Then getting yourself work-ready is a BIG task in itself !!

But being a woman you cant afford to go to your work place looking Drab without any makeup.

Here are my TIPS and Tricks to a prim proper YOU in 10 minutes

1. Cushion your time with the right clothes - I always have my outfits ready well in advance, at all times based on the season. This means, go home tonight and coordinate two failsafe ensembles. Try them on, make sure you like how they look and keep them in mind when you’re in a pinch. If all else fails, go all black and wear a fun pair of shoes along with one quirky accessory.

TIP - While in hurry, opt for wrinkle free outfits. Avoid spoiling your outfits due to last minute laundry goof-ups.

2. Makeup - Wake up your complexion with a good old-fashioned splash of cold water. As long as you thoroughly cleansed the night before, you can get away with just a rinse in the morning. Then apply your favorite tinted moisturizer or BB Cream.

Despite your love of liquid eyeliner, my favorite work-appropriate eye makeup must is Glide-On eye pencils. These are more precise and works well for butter fingers.

Finally, take 10 seconds to curl your lashes and swipe on 2 coats of volumizing mascara. Trust me, curled lashes is the best way to make yourself look awake–it really opens up the eyes.

Highlight the brow bone to look instantly awake, erase dark under-eye circles, and hide imperfections all over.

Lips - Stash your favorite tinted lip balm or moisturizing gloss in your purse and swipe it on as you dash out the door.

Take the final minute to make your finishing touches–a dab of blush of the cheeks, a dusting of finishing powder, a spritz of your signature scent.

3. Hair - Step away from the hot tools. Instead, decide which of your two office-friendly hairstyles suits you. Are you a braid girl or a bun girl? Take two minutes and whip your hair into a style that keeps it out of your face and off your mind.

Hi Everyone,

Kérastase, always uphold core beliefs of innovation, luxury and set new standards each time, in the finest care for hair.

I was so happy to be introduced to legendary 'Elixir Ultime Oil'

and a unique concept in hair care - the revolutionary ‘Elixir Ultime Beautifying Cream’

Kérastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil

It is a treat to dry, damaged hair.
Love it for how it works so well on damp hair to tame frizz.
The consistency is more lightweight that MoroccanOil.
I applied it liberally overnight as a deep treatment, pre-shampoo.

It can be used in several ways

Pre-wash to remove impurities.

Pre-blow dry or flat iron as a heat protector

Post-dry/flat iron to smooth, soften and shine

As a hot oil treatment

Elixir Ultime Beautifying Cream

Infused with the goodness of oil, the ease of a cream and the lightness of a silk veil, it was created for the Kérastase woman of today, who deserves and expects perfection and pampering, in every aspect of her life.

I use it every other day after I wash my hair. I towel dry then rub a little less than a coin size amount in my hands and start applying at the ends only. This creme absolutely changes my hair to soft, manageable and very shiny.

Because it is a cream, you are least likely to overdue like the oil !
Awesome product for someone with fine hair who wants body and shine with weighing hair down. Made styling so easy!!
Expensive but use just a tiny amount after shampooing.

Considering how busy your day is....
this cream’s multiple benefits and uses will surely become a part of your quick daily ritual.

Is your phone too filled up with the innumerable screenshots of dresses from Bollywood ?

Perplexed, as to why am I asking this !!

So I’ll pull out the curtains now, I’m taking you on a rollercoaster ride of fashion that lasts forever!

Yeah the B-town beauties, the clothes they wear remain just not a piece of cloth, rather with them begins an era of trend!
The stores advertisement boards change from Dupatta to Deepika wala Dupatta, every girl’s hostel is suddenly filled up with the same skirt in different colors, wedding dresses are all styled same.

So here are some trends that the sizzling ladies started...

T-SHIRT WITH AFGHANS

Had Kareena not started this, travelling would have been still a hectic job.
Became famous with her audacious personality in Jab We Met, she truly redefined the way clothes can be paired. No one ever thought that salwar can also be worn with our funky T-shirts.
The salwar were launched as an entirely new lowers titled “Afghans”.
They soon became party wear too.

KURTI-LEGGING

The offices would have still been a pain without this coming into the market.
Deepika with her stylish look in Love Aaj Kal introduced an entirely new outfit.
Get a bunch of leggings and pair it with all the kurtis and you’re done rather than the endless matching churidars that come with the suit piece.
Deepika made girls wear suits with a swag.
I know deep down your heart you love your black legging that goes with all.

LONG SKIRTS

New look of Preity Zinta in Lakshya amazed us all. The beautiful flairs of long skirts made the girls look way prettier. The maximum benefit was to the plumpy ones as it hid their extra weight. So Ms Zinta we love you for the cheerful dress.

COLLARED SHIRTS WITH PATIALA

Other than comfort sometimes a fresh air is needed and that’s what Rani Mukherjee created in Bunty and Bubli. Dashing look in a cool Patiala with the bold Punjabi tadka made us all look fabulous in college. Rani gave us a dress both for college and parties. The unique part of the dress was the collared shirts that nobody could have ever thought of pairing with Patiala.

BACKLESS CHOLI

Western wear is liked but what about weddings. We need to look sassy in them too and Madhuri with her backless choli in Hum Aapke Hain Koun gave us full freedom to flaunt our lehengas in style. So now that’s what called desi swag. So you see there’s a reason why she’s the dhak dhak girl.

CROP TOPS

The cool look of modern girls was initiated with Amrita Rao in Main Hoon Na. Her out of the box attire in the movie inspired the girls to wear short crop tops and hence started a new trend in the league. Crop tops accompanied by funky accessories were largely in demand for a very long period of time.

SKIN TIGHT CHURIDARS

Sadhna, one of the leading actresses of Indian cinema is famous for the Sadhna cut but in addition she also started the trend of skin tight churidars, the Kurti length up to the knees and churidars fitted tight on to the legs. It gave a new definition to feminism and we all have our mother’s before marriage pictures posing in style in those churidars. They came back In trend around 4-5 years back and were loved all over.

LONG MAXI DRESSES

These dresses were most disliked until worn by Vidya Balan in Shaadi ke Side Effects.
Especially for pool and beach parties the most preferred dresses were the long maxi dresses.
Paired with long earrings, heels and a matching clutch they made a woman look sexy!

So next time you say wear any of these don’t forget to pay an ode to them ;)

Hi Everyone,

Palazzo Pants - Ritu Kumar

Palazzo pants are super wide-leg, loose, flowing pants that were super popular back in the ’60s and ’70s. As most trends tend to do, palazzo pants have recently made a comeback… a pretty big one. From the pool, to the party, and even the office, this seventies-inspired silhouette is everywhere !

The forgiving, easy-to-wear trousers are known for their waist-whittling fit and bold colors. They’re the perfect piece to add some liveliness to your wardrobe this summer when you’re uncomfortable in jeans.

To me, Palazzos are chic, forgiving Summer alternative to Jeans !!

Here are SBN Tips and Tricks to make these pants WIN

The great thing about Palazzo Pants is that they're very versatile. You can dress them up or dress them down.

There are different kinds of palazzos, in printed and plain colours. You can experiment with the printed variety; if you want to play safe, then stick to plain ones.

For daily combinations flower patterns are excellent, while for a bit more elegant days you will needed white wide pants

Palazzos are bottom-heavy since they flare out from the knees below, so keep the top you're wearing light and well-fitting. Just team them with high heels and tuck the top in.

These comfortable and lightweight pants are perfect fit for every body’s shape. A broad high-waist belt enhances your look and makes your waist look smaller. Wedges work well to complete the look.

In the evening a great lookwill be with tight shirt or summer corset and a pair of high heels in strong neon color.

For a Day at the Beach, pair a fun tribal-palazzo pant paired with a flowy tank and wide brimmed hat.

Palazzos at Work - If you want to try the palazzo pant for work, dress it up with a blazer.

Hope these tips are helpful.
