Circa- when the world began (for me at least)- Right from childhood...one thing i remember about myself is that i was just a different kinda' dresser. My mother remembers more clearly :-/ (think big showdowns on choice of birthday dress, what to buy as rakhi/ diwali presents etc). My sartorial choices were commonly labelled as non confirmist, provocative, strange and mostly inappropriate depending upon who was presiding. As i reached college the perception changed to bold and experimental but mostly i was made to feel guilty about choosing to express myself through my attire - mostly full of contempt for bourgeois middle class norm - a major reason why i would be considered unfit for any corporate job. And living in a chauvinistic city like Delhi of course didn't help.
Cut to- Today - Hello, I'm Ruchika Davar- TV anchor, ex columnist, Event MC and performer but mostly an ardent fan of style. Living in Goa I easily (and not always gracefully...) shift from frumpy to Divaesque depending upon my mood and weather. Happy being comfortable in my own skin, skin-tights and Burj Khalifaesque heels...This is MY SPACE, MY STYLE. You are invited to be a part of my fashion journey. Comments, critiques are welcome...compliments will be cherished. Hate mails will be deleted as i have no place for negativity in my life. Happy to see u here...keep on visiting- i would love it.
about the title of my blog- My personal tribute to my signature perfume- Christian Dior's Diorissimo. I think there are certain things in life that are sheer classics and beauty but still lose out in the race due to bigger hypes by worthless competitors. Diorissmo is one such fragrance- unbelievably dwarfed by insane and inexplicable success of pencil eraser smells of ja'dore, Chanel no.5, Eternity etc etc.... Diorissimo is rare and a class apart. I've been wearing it for 13 yrs and each time it hits my nose
it almost gives me the big 'O'. If u think it's strong, overwhelming, and a bit heavy- then u're reading about ME.
About the image- clicked at a pool party- i absolutely love this Obi belt (you will also notice it in the cover shot of this blog) and the stunning finish it provides to the tube maxi dress I'm wearing. Just a bit of definition can make any outfit outstanding. The smoked Sunglasses were my first ever purchase from asos.com and a very cherished pair.
The Feather & skulls necklace is so me - gentle & lethal- love the contradiction.
much love & besos.
