DIY Little White Dress

"Create"

Hello
Today I have this amazing DIY post for you guys. It's a dupe of white dress from Zara. This DIY is super amazing, fun and easy. I have always loved creating stuff. Art does not judge you. You should keep creating stuff you want to, it doesn't matter if you have an audience or not, it doesn't matter if you get appreciation or not. It should make you happy and that is what art is for me.

For this DIY I have used following materials:

1. Faber Castell 3-D Acrylic outliners in glitter shades
2. Fevicryl Hobby Ideas 3-D Acrylic outliners
3. Fevicryl Acrylic Paints
4. brushes
5. Pen / Pencil for sketching
6. Over-sized white t-shirt (so that you can wear it as a dress)

Steps :
1. I started by sketching rough template on a piece of paper. I sketched the design on the tee using a pen. You can use a pencil if you are a little apprehensive using a pen.

2. I wrote "lady" in free hand-cursive handwriting using a pen. I used orange acrylic color to paint it. A thick outlining of black color was added.

3. I sketched the palm tree to left side of the tee using a ball point pen. Color the leaves green using Faber Castell 3-D outliner. Fill yellow color in the trunk and outline the tree with black 3-D outliner to give it a final finish.

4. Sketch the ice-cream cone and start outlining the cone with golden glitter and make the design as shown. 

Use pink color to fill the ice cream (yummm ) and add red dots using Fevircyl 3-D outliner.

5. Sketch the lips according to the template. Use magenta shade from Faber Castell outliners to fill the lips. Finish by doing the final detailing using black acrylic color. ( the pictures are pretty self explanatory though :P )

6. For the lipstick start by outlining it with black fevicryl 3-D outliner. Fill in magenta and transparent sparkles accordingly.

6. Watermelon!!!! Fill the green part using green glitter outliner. Use fevicryl 3-D outliner in red to fill the internal part. Color the seeds black using 3-D outiner.

7. Daisies!!! Color the circle using golden outliner and petals using Faber Castell Virgin Snow outliner. Voila.!!
You are done.

8. I added a diamond at the back of the dress ( not present in original Zara dress). Bling.

After much efforts, this is the final result. This dress has everything that a girl likes, food, makeup and daisies. I added diamonds too.

So do you like the dress? It looks similar, doesn't it? I love it. Since this post is already a big one, I will be styling this dress in the next one.

Beautiful Chaos

" Madness is somewhere between chaos and having a dream"

All the madness and chaos before the shoot, raiding my closet, finding the perfect accessories, gets justified when the post turns out to be beautiful. This madness for having my own blog keeps me going. 

Moda Yalda is like a beautiful chaos. Moda Yalda is my dream.

I am a sucker for twin sets. I have a dozen twin sets already and I am still buying more ( yes I am obsessed). In this post I am wearing a black high neck crop top with a high waist stripe pencil skirt from Blush_wherefashionmeets. Blush is a cute instagram page that has all the latest clothes available at very affordable prices ( you would want to buy everything, trust me).

This attire gives a very sophisticated yet sexy feel. I totally loved it.
I accessorized it with my candy pink clutch and cherry leather heels. Sunglasses are a must have during summers.

Summer Uniform

 " Blue jeans, white shirt 

walked into the room and you made my eyes burn "

                                                                                                    - Lana Del Rey

Hello my lovely readers.!

I hope all of you are having an amazing Sunday. Summers are officially here and every summer is incomplete with a blue jeans and white shirt outfit. Blue denims and white shirt is a classic. It's an eternal fashion statement. Nothing can go wrong with a blue jeans and a white shirt.

I am not big fan of jeans but I love this one. I have had this jeans for like 8 years now and it's still my favorite. It is a high waist skinny jeans and I have worn it so many times that it has holes in it now. Instead of a basic white shirt, I wore this handmade white cotton pleated crop top with my denims. Handloom woven cotton is love in summers.

I went for minimal accessorizing. I wore a hand-chain and my favorite aeroplane pendant.
To give this outfit an old school 70's vibe, I borrowed my dad's vintage RayBan aviators and my mom's vintage woodland chunky strappy heels to complete the look.
My blue-jeans-white-shirt outfit is incomplete without a red pout.

aeroplane pendant : myntra.com | hand chain : Dulce couture

White crop top : Hand-made by mom | blue jeans : gifted | Aviators : Vintage RayBan |

 Heels : Vintage Woodland

Lip color : Lip Couture (Siren)

I hope you like the post.

Until next time.

Shopping with Limeroad

I have never been much of a fan of online shopping. I am the kind of girl who has to try on the clothes and visualize how I can style them, I need to see the fabric, the prints, the cut of the clothes and how they fit me.

But all this changed when I found online shopping  with Limeroad.com. On Limeroad.com you can actually style your clothes virtually by creating scrapbooks. I just love how one can create different looks and style a dress. What's the need for going from shop to shop and trying on clothes when you can do the same thing sitting on your bed.
I totally loved scrap-booking.

I fell in love with this amazing print.

The other thing I liked about Limeroad.com was the variety that it has to offer. One can buy anything from clothing to home decor. Also they have amazing dresses available at a steal of 400 bucks which is a great thing for college students like me who don't want to spend a fortune and still look chic.
I like how limeroad has so many different options to choose from. While browsing through the dresses, I liked doodle waist cut dress, striped monochrome waist cut dress and purple bloom open back dress.

Limeroad.com also has an amazing collection of quirky bags that I loved. You should definitely check them out. I am sharing one of my favorites here.
How cute is this coin purse?
Also loved this Ikkat print mint green sling.

I loved these wedge chunky sandals too.

That's me scrap-booking and styling the dresses I liked. ( hehe it was fun )

I finally ended up buying this dress. It has a perfect combination of style and print and I can't wait to style it.

I had a fun experience shopping with Limeroad.com. I definitely recommend you guys to check it out and buy some amazing stuff at such steal away prices.

Art of Minimalism

“Minimalism means not trying to improve perfection.” 

                                                                                       - Bryant McGill

Hello all you lovely people

I am pretty excited about this post as this is the first black and white post for Moda Yalda. I love black and white pictures so I wanted this post to be prefect.

Well this post combines two trends : Boyfriend Fashion and Minimalism.

Minimalist trend is all about doing away with the things that are not essential, being more with less.

Boyfriend fashion originated with borrowing and wearing boyfriend's clothes. The two main important wear the look is making it over sized and rolling the sleeves. Boyfriend trend is about wearing a size bigger than what you normally wear and rolling up the sleeves gives a feminine look and balances the sleeves that would look too big otherwise.

In this post I am doing the minimalist boyfriend trend. I am wearing a over sized black tee shirt dress from adagio. If you don't get the tee shirt dress, you can get a tee two sizes bigger than your actual size from the men's section and you are sorted.
I did away with all the accessories except for a tribal choker and charm necklace. Reflector sunglasses and DIY holographic statement clutch completed the look with my favorite Litas.

 

Tribal choker and camel charm necklace : Delhi Haat, Dastkar Mela

Boyfriend tee dress : Adagio | Sunglasses : Dulce Couture ( also worn here ) | Holographic clutch : DIY | Litas : streetstylestore ( also worn here ) 

I hope you like the look and how I styled the Boyfriend tee. If you guys want me to a DIY of the holographic clutch mention in the comments below.
If you try this look, tag #modayaldagirls and I will feature it on my Instagram.
Have a happy weekend,
