From the floral melodies... Ft. Upahara.

“Like all magnificent things, it's very simple.” 

― Natalie Babbitt 

Hello, good souls. Hope you all are doing great. It's August 2 today and I'm super excited to start my birthday month with a 'simply beautiful' post. If you know me, you know how I am obsessed with home decor, stationery and gift packagings. The beautiful little things conquer a major part of my lifestyle and who I am as a person. 

Rakhi is round the corner and this is no news that it's one of the most celebrated festivals in India. My brothers being in different corners of the world receive Rakhi and handwritten letters from us. I always think of ways to make it special for them. While I was browsing, "Upahara" came along and sent me this absolutely stunning Rakhi box. The mosy attractive thing about their boxes is the finish and quality they offer. The boxes are well made and the colors used are subtle and oozing out freshness.

Between the Lines..

Saturday went past by about 9 minutes ago and after a long long time it felt nice to relax in my super snug silk blanket. A quick thought on the other hand, you are ought to witness a lot of new stuff on the blog super soon *trying to shut my mouth here*, so keeping a tab (like you always do :*), will definitely not disappoint you!

Jumping right into the post, I am happily and officially confessing to be obsessed with off-shoulders this season like everyone else out there. 

Here, I decided to style my striped off-shoulder with powder blue ripped denims. Perfect for all girls night out/coffee date! 

Check out below and see how we do the stripes, the Spangle way:

Happy post!! ft. Bewakoof.com

Kickstarting my Monday with a refreshing fashion post for y'all! Hope you are doing great. I am celebrating 6 k followers on Instagram (calls for a carouse!) and I'm elated and extremely thankful to each one of you out there. 

When I say a "refreshing fashion post", I am not really joking. You might be the most aggressive fashion enthusiast out there but deep within your heart, you are a jogger lover! (We all are) 

I think joggers are super dope and super snug. So there isn't really anything to not like about them. 

Bewakoof.com heard my wishes and sent me these very cool joggers that I decided to style the Spangle way. You might not want to carry this outfit on a red-carpet (unless you are Rihanna), but it's a perfect set for your everyday evening workout/grabbing-a -coffee -thereafter session.

"The Epic Battle- Soap Vs. Shower Gel"

I am thoroughly excited for this beauty edit on Spangle Street! I just had to start off like that. 

Hello my fellows!

Hope you're having a good week so far . The summer is taking a toll on us but the beauty world is making it easier and we can't thank them enough. 

I am reviewing the most epic shower gels from the season AND here is what I love..and love about them! 

About the Fiama Di Wills Skin Conditioning Shower Gels range:

These gorgeous looking shower gels are infused with skin conditioning and exotic ingredients like bearberry, brazilian orange, peach and avocado etc. Beautifully crafted by the beautiful herself- Masaba Gupta, my personal favorite is the hand behind designing this amazing set. 

My take on it:

The shower gels claim to be infused with skin conditioning ingredients and trust me they aren't lying. They moisturize your skin thoroughly and you get out of the shower with bouncy skin. (really). They have a refreshing fragrance that lasts longer than most of the shower gels that I've used. Overall, I am giving full points to the uber cute packaging and a convenient-user friendly bottle. I got a chance to use 2 shower gels out of the collection. These are:

1. Mild Dew, Peach and Avocado - This one is great if you have extremely dry skin. It is meant to intensely moisturize your body leaving it soft. I would recommend this mostly for winters. But dry skin warriors- this one's for you! 

2. Ravishing Ruby- This is one has to be my favorite. It smells great and it looks great. It is infused with Ruby dust and polishes your skin instantly. I recommend to use this- well, everyday! This one is straight out of the Masaba collection, so you can happily bathe in style now! 

Soap Vs.Shower Gel: 

I stopped using a soap in my everyday bathing routine many many years ago. Personally, shower gels have always worked best for my skin..and well, my morale! Something that smells so fantastic, boosts up your inner energies, and makes you clean and soft as silk- I mean, what is there to not like in shower gels? 

For me, shower gels win ! 

Consider using a soap for 1 week without a moisturizer and then a shower gel for 1 week without a moisturizer. Share your results with me on my Instagram (gurbani_johnbuttar) or connect with me on Spangle Street's facebook page. Let the battle begin! 

More is coming soon on #SpangleStreet

Stay tuned

"Be"

Hola! 

The rains are making it absolutely difficult for me to sit on my desk and write because #ohmygawdIloverains ! 

On the other hand, the summer is officially here and so are the upgraded fashion trends. But me? I am still stuck in my happy place of Vintage fashion obsession. (I don't think I can move on that easily). 
Just when my eyes were searching the streets for some unflawed vintage pieces, "Be"- a brand of curated Vintage clothing sent this absolutely adorable skater dress to me ! The lace detailing around the neckline stole my heart instantly. 

You can order this dress (and many more) by DMing them on Instagram (Justgotta_be and Vintage_clothing_chandigarh) or hop on to their Facebook page. 

I styled my sunny floral skater dress with heeled leather boots so that it's easier for me to run back to 70s..(you saw what I did there? ;) *heh*

Have a look: 

Culottes Calling

Hey everyone! 

Hope you all had an amazing weekend. The summer is officially here and killing us already. It's so hot outside I wonder what's going to happen in the coming years. Nevertheless,fashion never stops. Fashion should NEVER stop! 

Here I am with another fashion post to kick-start your mundane Monday!.. Let's talk: Culottes. 

Culottes are my favorite this season simply for the reason that they are so SO effortlessly stylish. From formal to casual- this one piece will make the fashion mamas happy. I can sit here and think of so many ways to style it. It's really fun and crazily chic. You are probably going to see so many of them throughout the summer on Spangle Street. Are you convinced already!? Go grab then! 

I styled by basic black- front bow culottes with structured stripes and strappy heels. Perfect for a formal party, this outfit can also be worn for a lunch party with the girls. It's going to be cherry on the cake if that lunch is on a fashion street in Milan, but, oh well!

Vintage Vibes- Summer 2016 Ft. "Be"

Hey all!

Hope to find you in the best of your spirits on this Monday morning. I'm humming this beautiful track by Gabrielle Aplin -"Home" while styling this gorgeous vintage dress from "Be" 

My love for all things vintage is pretty evident on the blog. I come crawling back to this style time and again. I feel it reflects my inner style, my soul, if you know what I mean. 

About "Be"

"Be" is one of its kind clothing line that effortlessly carries strong vintage vibes in their collection of personally curated pieces. By Vintage I mean truly vintage reflecting fashion from the 70's to the 80's. Oh, what an era that was!

I have styled this gorgeous layered dress with my ankle boots. It's perfect for a fun outing with friends on a summer evening. You could watch a movie and grab a coffee and then head straight to the bar for live music in this outfit. (Yes!)

Did someone say Summer? Ft. Talons D'or

Hi All,

Getting back to business, today's post features a pair of heels that are LITERALLY SPANGLED! 

I am so excited to style these dazzling glitter heels from Talons D'or. Hold on to your breath- I am going to tell you something amazing about this brand: 

Talons D'or has a striking originality that you simply cannot ignore but adore. It strives to give you the best quality for a design that YOU, yourself can make. :) WHAT! 

They offer a great variety of visuals that you can play around with while designing a shoe. It's user friendly and it's super fun. You click your heart out and design as many shoes as you want, give your size specs and boom!

Also,their beautiful packing is die for.

You can see how I styled these beautiful golden pumps perfect for a Wednesday night with the girls or maybe a fancy luncheon?

Tip: If you're not on the red carpet and you are not Beyonce, don't wear bling with loud colors/prints. It's best to go with the subtle colors and then add a pop of bling to the outfit.  

And Skater Skirts for summers? Yes Please!
