EARTHY ACCENT: There’s something so unpretentious about a simple terracotta vase when it moonlights as the most charming dinner table centrepiece. Just throw in a bunch of fresh flowers, light some candles and you’re all set. Price: Rs 750
THE HALF-MOON BAG: The season’s crescent shape in a hand-embroidered cotton avatar. Take your white-shirt-jeans uniform up many levels with this cute crossbody bag. Or just tuck the leather straps inside to use as an evening clutch! Price: Rs 525
THE LITTLE BLACK BLOUSE: This Jamdani-with-a-touch-of-lace blouse from Parama Ghosh is going to be your closet hero this season. Wear it with a sari for Puja, and then style with your favourite denim come fall. PS: Don’t forget to add a fiery red lip! Price: Rs 3,750
THE KAFTAN LIFE: This luxe silk kaftan by Hanshu is tailor-made for our new hybrid lifestyles. The silhouette is dreamy and ridiculously flattering (option to wrap a DIY Obi if you’re in the mood). Wear it to a brunch, then pop over at a meeting, and host cocktails at sunset. You get the drift. Price: Rs 14,784
STACK IN STYLE: If a beautifully curated wrist is your style language, these brass babies need to be on your radar. Bohemian, minimalist or all-out maximalist, this bangle fits all!
