5 ways of styling Art Brooches.

We follow fashion trends ardently, don't we? We like to remain updated. When its time to attend an event we look for designer wear. The Shopaholics that we are, with every season there are new designs in apparels to hunt down, wear and flaunt. The beauty however lies in how we style our apparels.
And sometimes we do not realise that the apparently plain and simple clothes in our wardrobe offer just the right canvas for making a style statement! How you ask?
The trick lies in accessorising, my dears!
Let me show you just one type of accessory that can give a 360 degrees turn around for your plain Jane/ boring Jack look. 

5 WAYS of STYLING with BROOCHES:-

1) Heading for a brunch party and you got nothing new to wear? Isn't that almost always the case? 
 A cupboard full of clothes but there's nothing interesting to wear. Woe Me! 
I suggest you bring out that boyfriend blazer you got there and simply affix a huge, standout Brooch on the lapel. And Voila! You will surely be grabbing eyeballs. They'd be flitting to you like butterflies.





2) Your favourite old Overalls/Dungarees needn't lie in the back of the cupboard for lack of that punch. Take your weathered Denims to a whole new level of functionality meets edgy styling. Pin a feathered Art Brooch onto the front pocket or lapel and set a trend. That pop of colour will do wonders for your look.

3) A fashionable Art Brooch with a good design often lends far better character to your outfit than an expensive gold and diamonds Brooch. Use it with your flowy, very feminine dresses. Take a cue from Mrs. O.Respect!

 4) Brooches are the oldest form of accessories that have never really gone out of style. The most traditional way of wearing them has been on the hat. Take the most basic black hat and a brightly coloured Brooch. And what you will see is a volatile combination! This styling, instantly takes a guy and projects him as THE dapper dude. What would the Ladies at the Derbys have done without their voluminous hats decorated with those awesome accessories. 



5) And our last but very interesting tip that may give you more popularity than any of your other looks. We call it - The Perfect Host' Look. Invite your closest friends over for a dinner party and surprise them with gorgeous hand-painted Art Brooches at each place setting, on the dinner table. Imagine their thrill when they realise the darling piece is for keeps! Thus you will have them eating out of your hands, quite literally.

Dressing up the young, urban and male!


Tricky business this?
Challenging definitely because they are unchartered waters for us women wrapped up in our own world of shopping and playing dress up!
There are however an entire generation of men, yes MEN who love to dress up too.
They preen as much as a Peacock and they have an intense urge to pick up fashion pieces that will UP their style quotient immediately, the impatient gender that they are.
Well, I've always found dressing up my man more interesting and have been pretty successful at  that because he's as game as I am for sporting Quirky fashion pieces. Edgy fashion seems to go down with him well too..:)
So happy at home ground I was that I decided the first series of YOLO fashionable offers should be something for the young, urban and MALE.

Style this pair of hand-painted North-Star Black Canvas Slip-Ons well and you are making a style statement at every step! Keep the rest of the look minimalistic. A pair of your most lived-in Jeans will also go down well when your legs end at these. The assymetrical design breaks the monotony.

Since they are completely hand-painted,each pair of shoes are unique and may vary a tad bit .
I'm an artist and I'm passionate about painting. And good at that too..;)
A pair of hand-painted shoes are as individual and unique as you are.
There are an array of colourful possibilities on myriad themes, some sophsticated, some playful and some truly inspiring designs. Your shoes can flaunt any concept that you personally like, treasure. You would be wearing what you are all about, thats what bespoke hand-painted fashion accessories are all about.
You can judge a man by his shoes, they say? How true would that be!

Meet The Artist

Hii friends,
The very first post at my fresh new blog...
Thought I'd introduce myself first because that's what good manners are all about right?
Vibz aka Vibhuti Bhandarkar loves to dabble in colours.

 "Give me any plain surface and I can spruce it up with my imagination"
Professionally qualified a s a commercial artist I started out as a graphic designer and following the 2 passions of my life- Art & Writing, I've been on a journey that's been full of absolutely enriching experiences.
Its so very truly put that Its the journey and not the destination, that makes it all worthwhile. From graphic designer to Copywriter, from avid blogger to published author, I have enjoyed each phase of the metamorphosis, so completely. 
From being a gallerist at my own little set-up in Pune to being an Art Curator at this sprawling Mall in New-Mumbai, I have still a lot many dreams to live. 
As a gallerist and Art Curator I quickly realised that Art as in Paintings and Sculptures is looked at as inaccessible for the masses due to the price tags they carry.  Each and every soul has a penchant for, understanding of and appreciation for some or the other form of creative art. However Fine Art is looked at as something meant for the rich and elite. I beg to differ! And I wish to strive to bring about a change in this rife belief.
YOLO has happened only because of this undying passion for art. It has come about with the strong vision, to make hand-painted Art pieces easily accessible to one and all. YOLO will bring forth wearable Art which the masses have great appreciation for. Paintings are mostly always expensive but not at YOLO.
'#YOLO- You Only Live Once so everybody deserves to own bespoke-completely designed to your own personal choice, arty accesories that are hand-painted JUST FOR YOU...
I believe in living life to the fullest because #YOLO !! ;) :)
