Formal Shormal

Hi Guys...

Isn't wearing formals 5 days week such a drab. You cant experiment much without having everybody stare at you. What i like is to wear formals without getting the feel that i am wearing formals. One best way to do that is with accessories. In the below outift i have put a casual feel to a boring trousers and shirt with a bright beanie and ankle boots.

Till next time Cheers!!!

Hi Guys :)

22 days!! Thats all that is left for 2015 to be over. Another year crossed without finishing even one of my resolution. Self-five. Maybe i should resolve to sleep atleast 10 hours daily. I am sure i'll be pretty good on that one. BTW, what say?? Something feels different. Well yea... i changed my font. I am the kind of person who loves those fancy spirally "hard-to-read" fonts but sadly blogger doesn't have much options so i have to make do. Courier always gives me a feeling like i am using a typewriter. What do you guys feel?

So recently, actually it was 2 or 3 weeks back i saw Tamasha. And irrespective of what most people are saying i loved it. The story was good, the locations were just "wooooowww" made me wanna go on a solo trip to corsica, music good, Ranbir good and Deepika was just amazing!! I just loved her in that movie. It felt like it was real life Tara and not somebody playing her. And her style in that movie was impeccable. I think currently she is the most stylish person in Bollywood hands down. Her style is very casual and something even we can wear in our day today lives. And she can rock Indian as good as Western. There was this one look of her in that movie which i fell in love with completely. She was wearing this white flowy bohemian dress with white flower headband. She looked like a greek goddess i swear.

I tried to create the same look over here. I wore this "game-of-thronish" powder blue dress and a peach kimono over it. I completed the look with a peach flowery headband.

(Dress, kimono :- Forever 21, headband :- Goa)

Another look of her which i just love is the one in "Daru Desi" song  from Cocktail movie where she is wearing orangish palazzos and green tank top. I think she single handedly got the palazzos back in style. I wore a similar combination and topped it with a hat.

(Palazzos:- Inmark, Top:- People, Hat:- Forever 21)

The third look isn't from any movie. I think it is from some promotional event, where she has jazzed up a simple jeans and t shirt outfit with a flowery blazer.

(Pants:- Mango, Cami Top:- Forever 21, Shirt:- Vero Moda)

This is my take on three of her looks.I got her pictures of google. And i know mine are not that good quality. Well i had to be my own photographer. Hope you guys liked it. Please let me know in comments below.

Until next time. Adios amigos ;)

Haze away

3 years. I can't believe its been 3 years in Bangalore. Time does move so fast. So after 3 years i am saying bye bye to Bangalore. OMG! I never thought i would be leaving Bangalore. The place is amazing. Anyways as my last week in Bangalore started i decided to explore lots of places i didn't do in last 3 years. And let me tell you there were a lot. And one of those places is a pub. Bangalore is supposed to have some of the best pubs in the country or so i have heard. It was one of the things in my "to-do list" before i die :P. Personally i don't like going to pubs because 

a)I don't drink

b)The music is too loud for two people to have covers without screaming themselves hoarse.

But then i did go just for the reason that it gave me a chance to dress up after a long time. Since i have sent most my stuff away to the new place i just put up some last minute layering. Bangalore is getting cold lemme tell ya.

Signing off from Bangalore for the last time.

See ya soon. Cheers !

Little Trip Back Home

Hi Guys,

How you all been? Last week i had been home again. Home is one place you can never get enough of. And these days i been missing it even more i don't know why. Maybe three years is a long time to be away. Moving out was one of the biggest decisions of my life. And i can say it has been an amazing journey from dependent girl to an independent woman. Living in a big city all by myself was like a dream come true. And it has its plus points i can say. Waking up whenever you want, having pizzas 7 days in a row or just staying out till late at night. I am a free bird and living alone was like getting out of the cage into the wild where no one can tame you. Sadly with time its kind of faded away. Honestly speaking i miss being pampered and taken care of and also all the scoldings i would get for being lazy. Bangalore is great its just that it doesn't feel like home.

Anyways like i said last week i had a long weekend as it was US Independence day holidays. God i love US holidays, you always get them in a row such that you can a long weekend. So after work i hopped onto the next flight and i was home in an hour. It was the most peaceful weekend i had in a long time. Being with some people can just make everything feel so right. We had a nice celebration for my dad and cousins birthday. Watched a movie, had ourselves little barbecue, went to the beach and yea my mom made my favourites dishes. And in return i cooked as well. I made french onion soup for mom and dad. It wasn't amazing but edible :P And now i am back to Bangalore. And its 2 am and i am really hungry but theres nothing to eat. Why can't they have midnight pizza delivery i don't understand when we more than half the population awake after 12.

Anyways i have attached some of my outfits from back home. Hope you guys like it.

Rain it Pours!!

§§§

Rain it pours and its dancing in my Soul now,

Rain it pours and it drowns away my thoughts,

Rain it pours and everything goes silent,

Rain it pours and its dancing in my soul.

Hi Guys,

Even though the winter has come in Game of Thrones, in Bangalore its raining crazy. And when i say crazy i mean it has a mind of its own. It will be hot in the afternoons like its still summer and so you decide to go out without an umbrella and bam!! it starts raining. And i am a kind of person who doesn't like to carry things in my hand except my cellphone neither do i like carrying huge totes n purses. I am the small bodycross kinda girl. And this always lands me taking shelter beneath a tree or under the roof of a shop. The only good thing about Bangalore rains is that they don't last for hours. So i guess it kinda balances it out.

I have a love hate relationship with Rain. I am born, bought up in Goa and there it pours cats and dogs. Its like someone opened the shower tap and forgot to close it and went for vacation. Even when it stops you can fill the dampness in the air. I always feel sleepy in such weather. I remember my dad literally pulling me out of bed and dragging me to school. I mean who wants to leave their comfy bed and go to school, half wet cause you are not a ninja in opening the umbrella as you get out of the car. And then keep those wet umbrellas near your leg cause obviously we cannot have 60 open umbrellas in a classroom. The only good memory i have of rainy days was when it would rain so heavily that the nearby stream would be flooded and school will be closed or when my mom would make hot onion pakodas in evening or having cycle races with raindrops trying to catch me. Personally i find the cracking of black sky with sudden lightning is one of the most beautiful thing witness.

Anyways things have changed and i don't have to go to school anymore. 'Yayyy!!' and i am starting to enjoy getting wet in rain a little bit. Its kinda calms you down and makes you feel free like no matter how screwed up your life is at this moment its all getting washed out with the water pouring on your skin. But then i certainly prefer to be tucked in rather than getting wet :P BTW, I watched 4 movies this week :- Dil Dhadkne Do, It Follows and 2 evergreen oldies Hum Apke Hai Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hai. I would say DDD wasn't as good as i had expected it to be. It follows is a good movie if you are the kind to discuss about movies and their hidden meanings and stuff. And i also caught up on ep 9 of Game of Thrones and i have to say its been one of the best episodes of this season. Actually the first 'WTH' moment of this season. I didn't go out much after i tried once and got drenched. So i have got my rainy outfit for you guys. I wore a flannel knotted at my waist with a black maxi skirt with slits.

Until next time, go get yourself wet, Cheers !!

OOTN: Boho Way

Hi Guys....

How you all been? Its literally been months since i last posted and i am so sorry for that. But i just have not been feeling opening up mood lately. Its been one of those days when you don't wanna talk to anyone and be lost in your solitude. Just that mine has extended for days (read months) and i am still kinda in the same zone. And even though this has totally put me out of social circle it has given me lots of time to catch up on my reading :D Recently i got the " A song of ice and fire" book set and i am 2 books down. Looking at the size of them i guess it will be couple of months more before i finish it off.

Anyways on one of my more social days few days back i went to watch Piku with my family. I have to say it has been one of the best movies of this year. Not much drama or action just simple, happy movie. Its the kinda movie that makes you smile :-) And you can watch it 'n' number of times. Deepika and Amitabh were just awesome. And i just love Deepika's sense of dressing in it. Ethnic with a hint of boho. Coming to the outfit i wore when i went to see the movie, it was boho sporty. These days i been just loving the boho style. Laid-back with lots of colors and fun prints, messy hair, chunky jewellery.

Welcome 2015 and OOTN

Hi Guys...

Happy New Year. 2014 is officially over and i can finally give a sigh of relief. I would have to say it was a hard one. More like a typical Bollywood movie romance, heartbreak, drama, action, fights, comedy; it had everything. Lots of lessons learnt. Few days back i couldn't wait for this year to end. This year was like perfect example of Murphy's Law.Everything that could go wrong did. But as i sat on the roof watching the crackers burst in the sky in million colors it stuck me that life is like these crackers. It has to burn to burst out into something amazing. So no matter how hard it gets, it will get over.

                                                  (Pic Credit:- Damodar Bhat  @Goa)

I think the most important thing i learnt this year was relationships be it with your parents or siblings or friends or music or anything is what will help you make it through. A lot of people come and go. There also a lot of 'almost's' out there. But then sometimes you get lucky and you find the 'one in a million' kind. The ones who will be always there when you need them no matter what. Who will accept you for who you are, who will go mental with you so you don't feel odd one out,who laugh and cry with you, whom you give a part of heart. These are the keepers and i feel that's the best 2014 gave me finding few of these 'one in a million' kind. Love ya... ;-)

Coming to what i wore for new year's eve. I decided to keep it simple. I wore a black maxi skirt from Max and paired it with a muscle tee from Vero moda. And since its winter i added a black lace shrug i got from Sarojini. To finish it off we have a satchel bag from Forever 21 (my current fav), watch and My spiked wrist belt and some colorful flip flops from westside.

As for 2015 lets bring the house down... Cheers :D
