Fashionistas from across the city were invited for a 'stylish' evening at 'Tote on the Turf'. Vogue India and Allen Solly organized a wonderful event called 'School of Style', where the Vogue team conducted several sessions related to Fashion and Beauty.
This is how I spent my Monday evening, with fellow fashion lovers.

| Pre - event preparations: Vogue school of style at Tote on the Turf, Mahalakshmi Race course |
After appetizers and drinks, the event started with Vogue fashion features editor Priyanka Khanna telling us about the 'School of Style'. Priyanka Kapadia (Jr. Fashion editor) then took on from there and discussed wardrobe essentials, must have accessories, how to shop smart amongst others.
The focus then shifted to Spring - Summer must haves, and how you can incorporate the latest trends in your daily looks. They started off with the 'Corporate' look, where Model Sherry Shroff wore a bright and happy formal outfit. The aim was simple - formal look need not always be boring and dull. It's all about playing with different colors. Don't you think the cobalt blue blazer looks lovely?

Several other styles like 'Quirky prints', 'Party', 'Classic', 'Ethnic' were discussed. Each style was presented with an outfit, to show how certain accessories and prints can be matched to create the perfect look. Both Priyanka Kapadia and Priyanka Khanna then gave us tips on how just one item from the wardrobe can spruce up an outfit. Be it a chunky belt, stacked up bracelets, or even their favorite - metallic clutch.
It was then time for the Beauty editor, Parizaad Khan, to make a small presentation on beauty tips and summer skin care. She also discussed spring - summer 2013's hottest make up trends. Parizaad said that investing in a multi-purpose lip, eye, and cheek stain is a good option. She also suggested many other products that you may want to consider adding to your make up bag - Cleansing water, Dry shampoo, Primer etc. This was followed by the last Q and A session, where audience members got a chance to get their fashion and beauty related queries answered by the Vogue team. The clock struck 9 and it was time to wrap up the session. Priyanka Khanna thanked everyone on behalf of the Vogue team, for attending the 'School of Style' class.
Thus, a wonderful evening came to an end.
