DIY - Denim bag!

Okay, so I had a pair of jeans lying around which I no longer wore, so  I thought, why not make something useful out of it. But what? Hmm. Think, think, think. And then it suddenly hit me! A BAG!

So this is really simple, anyone can make it! All you need is  a pair of jeans,  a sewing machine and some embellishments(I used colorful ghungroos, safety pins and chain link).

So let’s start with the steps :

1)   Take out your jeans and cut them short enough to wear them as hot pants. Keep the leg  portion aside.

2)   Turn them inside out and stitch the bottom a couple of times.   Turn it back again, you now have the basic structure of the bag ready.

4)   Cut the leg portion of the jeans that you kept aside earlier in the shape of a flap and stitch it onto the bag.

5)   Take the chain link and  stitch it along the  top of the bag

6)   Embellish with whatever catches your fancy! Here are some embellishments I used.

And you're done! :D

That's my sister Darsha posing with the bag, doesn't she look super cute? <3

Resurrected from the 80’s, this chic, sophisticated yet feminine trend is back, and back with a bang, I must say!

Captivating the hearts of not only designers and flooding the runways, this spring trend has carved a place for itself in the hearts of most women.

Yes, I’m talking about the presently-most-wanted, closet must have of the season; the PEPLUM TREND.

For those of you who are still not familiar with this trend, a peplum is a piece of flared ruffle attached to the waist of either a blouse, a skirt, a jacket or a dress.

This versatile trend nips the waist-line creating a curvy, hourglass figure. Whereas, a fitted peplum works for naturally curvy women, complimenting their curves and on the other hand, helps tuck away a not so toned tummy.  (Miracle ain’t it? :P)

These aren’t the only reasons the peplum trend is so dearly loved. The peplum trend lends itself to various looks, when sported on a blouse combined with skinny jeans can be worn for night about town. While, on the other hand, a peplum on a pencil skirt or a dress could make for a great formal, dressy look.  A peplum could also translate from the sophisticated look and turn into a more perky, up-beat, fun look when mixed with floral prints and bright accessories.

There are so many ways to wear peplum. You can wear an understated black peplum top with a silk printed skirt or a printed peplum top and colored pants, or a floral top with a peplum jacket, so many options! Here are 2 outfit ideas I came up with!

LOOK NO 1

Although still inching its way to popularity in India, its presence isn’t completely absent. Look at these celebs rocking their peplum pieces! And Other than high end stores like Zara and Mango who have peplum in their collections, local boutiques in Bandra also house this trend. I found this lovely pink peplum dress in Preciosa, bandra!

 So what are you waiting for?! J

This is definitely a trend here to stay and worth investing in! incase you are still hesitant look at how gorgeous it is! How would you guys wear this trend, let me know in the comments!
