Think of Allen Solly and the first thing that comes to your mind is 'Formal wear'? Well, you are wrong. I was recently invited by the Allen Solly team to review their Autumn Winter 2012 collection and trust me, I came out of the store with a smile on my face.

Look 1 is perfect for a cold, windy day. Its a casual outfit, which is suitable for a lunch with your girls or even a movie date. You can also wear boots, without the scarf, and pull off this look with ease. The knit dress is super comfortable.

Look 2

Look 2 is a bit formal, something you would want to wear for an event or a meeting. This is also good for a formal lunch or dinner. In this picture, I am wearing NYX lip creme Addis Abiba. Another good lipstick shade which will go well with this outfit is Revlon coloburst Lip butter in Candy apple.

Nivea and Maybelline, two of my favorite brands have lip balms which top almost everyone's wishlist. While Nivea's lip balm 'Repair and Beauty' has been around since sometime, Maybelline's 'Baby Lips' lip balm was launched a couple of months back. Winter is here and everyone wants a good lip balm which can repair and provide moisture to the otherwise dry, chapped lips. I used both the lip balms for a week each and finally, reviewed it for all of you.

Before I go on, I would like to wish all the readers Happy Diwali and a prosperous new year. May god bless you all with happiness, luck and all things stylish!

Chic, feminine, bold and sophisticated, words that best describe FCUK's Fall/Winter  2012 collection. The garments in this collection are designed in a classical style with a contemporary touch. Recently, they invited me to visit the French Connection store at Linking road (Bandra). Unfortunately, it was a packed house, thanks to the fact that I chose a Saturday to check out the new collection. But just like every year, lectures and assignments are given top most priority during the weekdays. 

The fall winter collection of French Collection has something for everyone (well, almost). Prints, Lace, Soft 'take me home' pullovers, adorable peter pan collars, double-breasted jackets, Embellished dresses and lots more. During a short conversation with store manager, he told me that the collection is inspired by the 60's and there some items also had a androgynous edge to them.

Let's take a look at some things that caught the Dancebee's eye!

Product Review

L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss (530 Praline Brown)

I am happy that I finally got some time to do an Outfit post. Assignments and lectures don't leave you with a lot of time to spare during the weekends, except for long days where you are surrounded by books, cups of hot chocolate and your laptop. The end result is pretty good, because you get to learn a lot. But the flipside is, I miss doing things that I love. 

This outfit post is dedicated to the colour of 2012 - Tangerine. Just like every year, 2012 passed by like a flash and I thought of doing an outfit post (almost like an ode to tangerine) before the end of this year. This is a bright, cheerful outfit and is perfect for a Sunday brunch or movie date with your girls.
