Hey Beautiful Souls!
Hope all of you are in the best of your spirits.
While I struggle to hold on to a lot of things that I have to share with you, allow me some more time to prepare myself and tell you about things I've been upto. On the other hand, I am so excited about Spring/Summer being here. The fresh breeze of air, blossoming flowers, cool ice-creams, fresh watermelon, cute summer sun dresses all bring a wide smile on our faces. After a fairly mild winter that teased us with spring-like weather back in February, suffice it to say we're ready for official spring weather and the clothes to accompany it. And, what better way to be back with a Spring/Summer trends 2017 : Essentials.

1. Statement Stripes
Stripes in every color, shape, size and form are welcome this season. Be it broad bands, skinny hypnotic stripes, pinstripes or the nautical stripes. They are so fresh and clean. From seaside to school to sailor and more, stripes are all welcome.  Go for vibrant and bold stripes this season.


2. Head-to-Toe Florals
Florals? For spring?
Yes, please.
So rad in colouration, scale, fabrication and mood that designers thought it best to go full throttle in full blooms from head to toe, shoes included. Florals give you such a spring/summery vibes and make you happy.

3. Playing Peekaboo
The see-through dress is ruling this season. You can go all cute with your pastel-hued tulle and t-shirts. Go for sheer tops with your basic denim or sheer longline tops with some cute bralettes and denim underneath. But, remember, this is a million miles away from the A-list world's "naked dress" obsession.

4. Post-Minimalism
Just don't call it minimalistic. There's so much more to minimalistic style. Minimalism comes armed with subtle details to make even the simplest item (take for example, a cardigan) seem like the most exciting thing you've ever worn. Go play with minimalism this season.



5. New Shirting
Every season, designers task themselves to reinvent everyone's most essential workwear staple - the button-down shirt. In 2017, that looks like one-shoulder split-shirt tops, shirt dresses with graphic lines and oversize shapes with extended sleeves.

6. Bra Out
Nope, no more lurking beneath shirts and tops. In 2017, bras are getting their time in the spotlight. You can go for strappy, lace, leather, floral or luxe velvet textures. A cute bralette and a little sheer will do the trick.

7. Statement - Making Slogans
Perfect for the introvert - tees and dresses that do all the talking for you.
The return of the slogan tee is here. Whether you want yours to be political or just super sassy, try tucking into a maxi skirt or your basic denim and wearing with plenty of eyeliner.


8. Slider Comfort Fantasy/Easy Mules
Flip-flops were once a huge thing on the streets, particularly in the 90s. Now, we have some funky sliders appearing instead, something we noticed last spring as well. They are flats with a laid back presentation and updated for the summer with sequins and floral designs. Also, it's so dang comfortable. Call it the style that just won't quit. Easy slip-on and mules : either with closed or open toes are the best option with any outfit.



These are the looks which I would definitely wear anytime. Also, make sure that you include these staple items in your closet. Play around with styles this season and share your outfits with me on Instagram (@whimsicalcloset) or Facebook (Whimsical Closet).

Hope you liked today's post.
Until next time...

Dress up, hangout with friends, get a drink or two, dance as if no one is watching and be merry.

Just stay happy and always keep that beautiful smile of yours on.

Hello beautiful readers!
It's been quite a long time since I updated my blog. My sincere apologies for not being active. To be honest, I wasn't caught up in any work or anything but it's just that I didn't feel like blogging for some time. I couldn't feel the urge to write down and share my heart with you guys. But, now that I am back, I'm here to stay and keep you guys updated with the latest of fashion world. Also, Whimsical Closet turned 1 this January. With Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought that I should come up with a date outfit for all the lovely ladies out there who are still struggling with their outfits. My kind of date outfit is more on the simple and comfortable side. I can't wear an uncomfortable dress and roam about the whole day long. Also, I don't go out on dates. Okay! So, I picked out this velvet slip dress (trending) as velvet (trending) is all over these days whether it be dresses, trousers, hoodies, bags, shoes etc. You can find velvet is everywhere from the streets to the high end brands, they have all got it. This black velvet slip dress with lace detailing at the neckline and the hemline is perfect for a date. I have styled it in two different ways.

The first look is for those of you who like to remain covered up but still like to show off a bit. Slip dresses are so popular these days and what better day to wear it on a date and flaunt it. I wore my white turtleneck sweater under the slip dress and teamed it up with a pair of chunky ankle boots. This look is so simple yet eye-catching. You can try different hairstyles but I like to keep my hair loose. Put on some red lipstick and you're good to go.

Hey there everyone!
I'm posting another part of Human Writes today. So, those of you who get bored by this stuff, I would like to request you all to wait for the next fashion post. Bear with me and my sad posts!



It's just that I'm not the real me these days. It's like I had given myself to someone. But, its hard that you'll be safe there. So, its better to lock yourself up far from all the things that don't value you. I know most of the people don't share their feelings with the world or their close ones. But, it's the opposite for me and has always been. I've always been an open book. I like sharing my feelings. It kind of makes me strong because if  I can just open up myself, I'm sure gonna recover from it soon. It's not that hard, right? Still, easy to say, hard to tackle with. Sometimes, life's not that easy as it seems to be. After all, life's always been temporary for me. One day, it will all be gone and we'll all turn into ashes. So, live with no regrets. I'm letting go my regret today, so should you all. Let go of the things that make you sad and don't value you. It's already time to start afresh and be happy. Again, easy to say but believe me, it'll be all gone soon. Sadness, happiness, anxiety, frustration etc. are all temporary and always come and go. You need to stay strong, no matter what. That's the whole point of it, it makes you strong and makes you believe that you can overcome all of it and make it to a brand new day. Memories, they are not good. You just can't get rid of them. They keep coming back and haunt you to death. Just be happy and remember, only you can cheer yourself up. It's you who has it all to make things right and joyous.

Start from yourself and cheer everyone up. Be happy.
Until next time...

Hey there beautiful souls!
Time just passes by so quickly. It's the end of October already with the festive season all around. Diwali is the most amazing festival with beautiful lights everywhere, sweets, new clothes, rangoli, yummy food and loved ones. People celebrate this festival with firecrackers which I personally don't approve of. So, I request everyone to make it an eco-friendly diwali for all. Instead, just get a box of sweets and give it to those who can't afford one and make their diwali better.

Anyway, enough with the festive vibes. Here, in Delhi, it's just started to get a bit chilly in the evenings which means winters are approaching slowly. So, in today's post, I'm going to share some of the fall trends 2016/17.

1. Trench/Duster Coats
It is the perfect outerwear with any outfit. You can just throw it over with any and every thing. They never go out of fashion. Celine, Balenciaga, Lanvin all amped up their layering game.

2. Shearling
It is one of the most trending item this fall. You can find it everywhere from stores such as Zara, H&M to Burberry fall runways. It is definitely a must in your closet this season.


3. Velvet
Velvet has made a major comeback from the 70s & 90s. Thanks to labels like Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Valentino and more, velvet stormed the fall runways.

4. Military
Camouflage is the hottest trend this season. Burberry, Prada and Miu Miu all injected military influences into their fall collection 2016. Be sure to invest in one good army-like coat this season.


5. Over the knee boots
They are life savior and a total look changer. The whole look gets put together by just adding over the knee boots to your outfit. You can opt for black (basic), brown, grey or cognac boots in leather or suede for this fall.

6. Jumpers and Hoodies
Jumpers are best to layer up with anything. Put on a simple pinafore with a jumper and you're good to go. Also, we are all in luck as hoodies are still there in the fall 2016. Snuggle up in options brought to you by everyone from Lacoste to Alexander Wang and Anthony Vaccarello.






7. Fur Stoles
Designers have always a love affair with luxe fur stoles. It's perfect when you are in doubt about your outfit. Katie Ermilio, Monse all had fun with fur stoles on the runway.


8. Bomber Jackets
One of the best and most loved trend is the bomber trend. It is one of the hottest trends. You can never go wrong with a bomber. It keeps you cozy as well as stylish at the same time.





9. Snake-skin Boots
Be it ankle-length, knee-length or over the knees, it's all well appreciated. Snake-skin boots are the hottest trend this fall 2016. So, if you come across one, be sure not to miss the opportunity to buy it.



10. Reconstructed Denim
The biggest trend in jeans are the reconstructed denim and the uneven hem line. Cutting up the hem line of your old jeans is the idea. Designers are reinventing denim up by cutting and sewing different pairs of jeans together to create a unique and artsy vibe. Perfect pair to wear with your chunky ankle boots.
