Fresh Off The Runway !!

Hey y'all!
Hoow hav you beeeen?

I recently did this fashion show called "IEC Designer's Runway 3" on March 20, 2016, which happened at Hyatt Regency, Kathmandu. It was  a graduation show organized by IEC College of Art and Fashion every year, where designers under IEC formally graduated and took their first steps in the fashion industry. House of Fashion managed this event, which has always been about promoting local fashion.

As a fashion blogger, maybe I shouldn't be posting this. But the show was filled with so much glamour and style flowed freely from every corner of the venue. So, I just wanted to share it with my readers. Read on to know more.




This was the very first dress I got to flaunt. It was prepared by Amyma Rai and Pema Sherpa. The theme of their collection was 'Abloom', which meant that all of the gowns and dresses had floral patterns and motifs. And they were also new/ budding designers (about to bloom), hence the name. Loved this collection.





Next was the theme 'Swanky Folk', prepared by Alpha Baral and Samana Neupane. The dresses had some dhaka print on them, either on the blouse or the skirts, which embraced the Nepali culture.





Then came 'High street Fashion' prepared by Rabindra Maharjan and Nirjal Singh Mahat. The dress I'm wearing had such shapes because the designers were inspired by Japanese lamps.





These dresses were prepared by Dina Shrestha and Sakuntala Pandey under the theme 'Beads and Bullets'. This collection was inspired by the Rana rulers as well as the military regime of Nepal and I felt some powerful vibes going on, wearing this collection.





This collection was my absolute favorite, since I love, love, love ball gowns. Give me anything princess-y and I will swoon with happiness. The collection was named 'Flores de color' and included bright, colorful and huge ball gowns. Mine was a princess gown featuring a strapless floral bodice and full bell shaped skirt.





This collection was prepared by Dipinta Thapa and Deepu Maharjan under the theme 'Elements of Life'and was inspired by vintage clothing.





Last, but not the least was 'Tomorrow land music festival' prepared by Kabita Lama and Anisha Shrestha. It was inspired by one of the biggest electronic music festival held every year at Belgium.
That's it for now.

I'll be back soon with a summer wear post. Ciao!

My Best Friend's Wedding

The best kind of friendships are fierce lady friendships where you aggressively believe in each other, defend each other, and think the other deserves the world. These are not my words, just something I read off the internet, yet somehow it struck a chord.  I am one of the few lucky ones to have that above mentioned kind of friendship. When me and my best friend met during the first year of our university (she was studying Optometry, me Public health), we both had weird negative opinions about each other. I thought that she was harsh and authoritarian, she thought that I was vain and ditzy (both were sorely mistaken). But as time passed by, we were inseparable. I cannot describe in a few lines about all the silly, fun, weird, lovely things we have done together for the last 5 years. Therefore 18th of June was a happy-sad kinda day for me, as she got married. Because she who deserves only the best, found the love of her life to cherish forever. And for me, she was the mos...

Escapade

Namaste readers, Quick fact: Namaste is a Nepali greeting, said along with the folding of your two hands, which denotes immense love and respect. Totally unrelated with my post though. Last Saturday, my friends proposed that we go on a escapade to Bhotekoshi river, Sindhupalchowk for rafting. What a wonderful day we spent! And returned with a bag full of wet clothes, mind full of memories and muscles full of aches. Haha! After all, what does your hard-earned money mean if you don't seek all the thrills that life provides! So, I wore something that was extremely impractical for the rafting itself (had extras) but great for my blog post. This beautiful blush lace dress has always been my favorite. When paired with a leather jacket, it looked remarkably well. These ankle length gladiator sandals completed the look, without being too over-the-top.  Do you think the look turned out well? Until the next post, bye my loves! Lace ...

Back to School

Hi guys, How have you all been? I didn't post twice this month and for that I have many excuses. Wanna hear the main one? Well, I had bigger plans for this month's post, but sometimes the mighty life deliberately throws you backwards. You don't have any other option but to accept it and start again, from one step back. Whew! The other reason is my  music video.  Yes, guys, I acted in a music video out of sheer curiosity. You can watch it  here.  Do you think I suck at acting? If yes, let me know, lol. So, as I recently graduated from university, my academic life is on pause for a year or so. But then I remembered the place where I started it all - school. I studied in the same school for almost 7 years and it's uniform was a sky blue shirt, dark blue skirt, blue socks and cute black Mary Janes. I drew inspiration from exactly that for this post. I traded the dark blue skirt for this black mesh skirt (my summer staple) and ditched the socks, since it's s...

Wanderlust-er

To move, To breath To fly, To float; To gain all while you give; To roam the roads of lands remote; To travel is to love Not my words, dear readers. Just something I read on the internet which touched me immensely. Traveling really is the best source of happiness out there. This realization has recently dawned on me, otherwise I am a complete sloth. I rarely get the interest to get out of bed, let alone travel to exotic lands.  But this habit has greatly changed ever since I started to live alone. Also, my new job is so stagnant, it got depressing after a while and I needed to recharge myself. So, I picked my favorite person in this entire world (my sister) to be my travel companion and off we went to this beautiful city Dharan, which is 218 kilometers away from Kathmandu. It was a great journey, with great people and great memories. I could write a really long post about that, but this is not a travel blog, haha, so let's move on. I wore a black crop top for ...
