periwinkle stones.

trousers: vintage, top: f21, belt: vintage christian dior, necklace: nine west, shoes: michael kors, sunnies: ray-ban

i was really excited to wear this necklace nine west sent me from their new "chase the blues" jewelry line.  it's quite apparent that i love bold, statement jewelry, so this piece is totally up my alley :)  i paired it with a vest (worn backwards), some fun trousers, and a vintage christian dior belt that i found hiding in my dad's closet!

cuffs.

trousers/belt/earrings: vintage, top: express, shoes: michael shannon, handcuff bracelet: bullets & mullets

i'm generally not into trousers this length, but i thought these were so much fun - i love the cute print and the colors in the detailing!  i'm also very excited for my handcuff bracelet, which i bought at one of my favorite local stores: bullets & mullets.  i'd been eyeing it for a while and finally picked it up last week!

the wonderful ladies at lilla p sent me some fun items to review and my favorite piece was this ruffle v-neck dress. i am obsessed with wearing bright-colored, girly dresses all summer long so this piece is right up my alley!  you can check out all of their fabulous pieces online HERE and if you live in NYC you can stop by their new store in the meatpacking district.

the lilla p team was lovely enough to offer one of my lucky readers an origami wrap (all you have to do is leave a comment with your email address) AND all of my readers a 20% discount code from now until may 6th - all you have to do is enter "zarna" during checkout! happy shopping :)

so chaud.

blazer: vintage, dress: banana republic, shoes: lucky, sunglasses: a.j. morgan, watch: michael kors, ring: f21

i snatched this striped dress when i went outlet shopping with my mom the other day - we wanted to spend the day relaxing but there was a torrential down pour, so it was more like a day of sprinting from store to store! we still had a good time though and i bought some fun items :)

on another note, i've been into experimenting with lip colors recently and the one i'm wearing above is "so chaud" by mac.  do you have any recommendations for fun spring/summer lip colors?

these photos showcase one of my summer uniforms: cut off shorts, a tied collared shirt, and a pair of platforms (i promise i'll stop wearing these shoes, they're just SO comfortable and they go with everything!).  these are the second set of photos i took with my bud marty cherry - he's so talented!

...and just to let you guys know, i didn't win the refinery29 competition, but i'm so thankful for all of your votes and support - you guys are AMAZING!  i'd like to send a huge CONGRATS to the fabulous ashley of milk teeths who won the competition!

ps - i'm so excited about nine west's "chase the blues" line because it's full of oversized, funky jewels (we all know i'm a sucker for anything over the top!).  if you want to see how fashion cheers me up when i'm "chasing the blues" hop on over to their facebook page!

bollywood dreams.

dress: zarna surti, earrings: bebe

this dress has a fun story: it was the first dress i designed (i had it constructed in india) back in 2005 and it ended up being my senior prom dress! i've been meaning to feature it on my blog for a while now and was excited when i had the opportunity to shoot with local photog extraordinaire, marty cherry.  he's an amazing talent and i knew he'd be able to capture the nuances in the fabric and embroidery.  it was fun running around barefoot in a field - i felt like i was in a bollywood film!

i also wanted to thank so many of you for entering my chicshop giveaway and i'm excited to announce the winner: v-neesa from simply chic! congrats!

nashville fashion week photo diary.

(photos by zarna surti, except photos of zarna by today i'm wearing)

 nashville fashion week was SPECTACULAR - it was full of elaborate runway shows, local talent, and inspiring speakers. it was a truly amazing moment for nashville.  i was behind the scenes helping out with all of the events throughout the week, but was able to see most of the runway shows and snap a few photos along the way :)

for a more in depth look on my top five moments of the week, check out my latest vogue india post HERE.
