Summer Lookbook #005- The Royal Wedding Look

June 10, 2018

With the season of awards nights, model hunts and beauty pageants, and derbies, the fact that you look suited to the occasion and wear appropriate outfit ( specially if you are invited as honourable jury) holds quite an importance.
The current summer lookbook series is specially been loved by all of you so I really wanted to include a regal look that could suit such classy occasions too.
The recent royal wedding of #princeharry and #meghanmarkle has upped the fashion quotient and stands as an inspiration to millions. Of course, it was only #priyankachopra who got to attend the wedding but we all stand astounded and inspired to make some British fashion statements this season.

So my summerlookbook #5, {click #anujasummerlookbook for more looks this season} is a very Brit looking dress with assymetrical cut to it and a ruffle ( yes, ruffles are here to stay). What I love the most about it is it’s bishop sleeves, that make this pastel powder blue dress so elegant. Its one of those dresses that doesn’t expose any inch of your skin and hence is an class act. I paired it with pink lipsticks and pink pumps in a typical British fashion when even the toes are not exposed (only if I could have been a part of such a royal affair since I’m all set).

I’m wearing pastel pink coloured glass beads set that I had recently picked up from #murrano glass factory in #italy.
If only I had done my hair in a bun or some fascinators I think we are ready for a derby or a fashionable night.
My location was amazing and it suited my mood with the aroma of hot brewing chocolate while it was drizzling as I looked outside the window panes in #nemmabengaluru – its the #fabellechocloates boutique at #itcgardenia. In fact, I loved reading few concoctions too; only how I wish they were love potions and I could be with my beau who is not in town these days…♥️

Ms. Lalitha Kumaramangalam took over as the Chairperson of the National Commission for Women w.e.f. 29th September, 2014. She is a graduate in economics honours from St.Stephens College, Delhi University and Masters in Business Administration from Madras university. She speaks many languages fluently owing to her great family background. She belongs to powerful, illustrious political family, comprising Governor, Cabinet Ministers, Army General and Members of Parliament.

Ms. Kumaramangalam is a prominent political leader in her own right, who has been working relentlessly for decades for the empowerment and advancement of women belonging to the vulnerable and under-privileged sections of society.

She runs an NGO named Prakriti (in Indian Samkhya philosophy, Prakriti, or the nature, signifies woman). She has worked on issues dealing with healthcare, HIV/AIDS prevention and worked with dis- empowered communities like truckers, sex-workers, the LGBT community, migrant and construction workers, SHGs and urban slum women.

Recently she was at the ThinkBig 2016 Summit Inaugural ceremony in Bengaluru and addressed the gathering of women entrepreneurs and commanded all the attention, owing to her frank and impressive speech. Her speech stirred the audience and her words on condition of women in rural and sub-urban India made us realise the mammoth task of empowering them. They need to be heard and listened to and this is a moral obligation of us, the privileged sections of society, the educated lot, to reach out to them. In her speech she told how men in her life, have been the pillars of support and usually it’s a man who stands behind a woman who does well and breaks from the chain of ever present prejudices and suppression.

ThingBig summit was radiant with the presence of such truly inspiring lady who is so honest and transparent in her ideas and actions. The message that we gathered was that we must, as a society, be steady in our actions towards the upliftment of underprivileged women and be a guiding light, be their voice, and not just be a flicker of hope for a while which gets exhausted as soon as there is rough weather. Here is a short conversation with the stalwart who commands attention and respect as she speaks, Ms Lalitha kumarmangalam.
