What are you doing?

You told me you’re a ghost.

From top to bottom.

You can’t be a ghost. Ghosts aren’t ticklish.

Really? What else do you know about ghosts?

After 9 (!) years, we are deactivating.

Thanks so much for following and chatting with us throughout almost a DECADE of activity!

I first started Ishtyle as an outlet to post celeb & desi fashion, hoping to eventually diverge into a east-west street style blog. What grew instead was a fun and creative community of coadmins and followers who shared their ideas, creations, suggestions, and questions. This humble blog has over 13K posts and at some times has attracted 40-50K followers. (To compare, my personal blog has never crossed 300 followers.)

Now, there are many more platforms for style than when I first logged into Ishtyle. I hope this community continues to grow and create even after my small piece of it is retired.

Sending off with a trip down memory lane- view our top posts.
