Burst of Color

Don't cha just love it when life decides it's time for a change and just bursts through like a storm and everything turns topsy turvy.I am approaching some major life changing decisions right now and even though am not sure where they will lead me to...am ready to welcome them with open arms.Sometimes we get too comfortable in our own space.Following the same eat.sleep.work.play routine is very easy to get used to but not as fulfilling. Every time I fall into a routine,I get this urge to leave it all behind and break free.It could be the smallest thing like what I eat for breakfast everyday.I tend to eat the same thing for months until I get bored and switch to something completely different.This is why change is good.It keeps us fresh and motivated and not have any expectations out of life.Like a whoosh of color through black and white.Always know that when we leave something behind...something better is on the way. :)

Summer Lovin'

Hello Lovelies!There has been so much going on with me that blogging had taken a temporary backseat the last last month.To summarize the reasons; A holiday(Delhi-Jaipur),2 family weddings and a mammoth amount of orders because of the two weddings.In the meantime I won not one but TWO extremely awesome giveaways.A 30 minute blissful massage at Four Fountains Spa courtesy Varsha of Warflower and an extremely gorgeous leather clutch courtesy Eshna of All Things Desirable.Thank you so much guys!

And then before I could blink,it was summer.I Hate Summer.I really do.I get extremely grumpy with the sun blazing down and the Kolkata humidity draining out every ounce of moisture from my body.However,Since it is better to look at the glass half full(And we need a lot of chilled glasses right now!),There are a few things I could concede to enjoy about the season.

1)Summer Clothes:Barney said it right:Sundress up! There is so much to love about summer clothing and so much to experiment with.Shorts,Skirts and tees.Summer definitely has the best of the lot.

2)Is there anything better than a chilled Gola (Shaved Ice) on a hot summer day?

3)Swimming:The ONLY Sport I enjoy.Even though,the club pool I go to is nowhere near as gorgeous as this,Everytime I go swimming I feel like I'm on a mini vacation.

4)Summer Colors:Just looking at summer colors makes me feel refreshed.Pastels,Neon and White can soothe the most sunburned mind.

5)The first monsoon after a sweltering summer.The smell of grass and earth.Splashing around in the rain puddles.:)

6)Summer is the perfect excuse to procrastinate. You can crib as much as you like and no one can blame you.Because it is too bloody hot to do anything!

7)Florals:They're everywhere-Clothes,Accessories,Shoes and ofcourse,in Nature!

8)You can never click a bad picture on a summer day.Unless you squint.There is no better lighting than sunlight.Everything just looks so bright and lively even if you're sweating like a pig!

9)Summer Hair:Even though I'm not very good at hairstyles,I love tied up hair.Braids,A messy updo or a puffed ponytail and some really stylish ways to beat the heat.

10)And last but definitely everyones favorite!Summer Holidays-In school we loved it because of the vacations and now I love it because we take an overseas vacation every summer.This June I'm heading off to Switzerland-Paris and am SUPER excited.If any of you have been there,do let me know your travel tips!

What are your plans for the summer?

P.S.-It started raining when I was writing this post so maybe the Gods really do listen!:D

A Spring Fling

When I think of spring,I think of florals (Sorry,Miranda Priestly).And this outfit is what my typical weekend Spring outfit would be like.Casual,Comfy and Colourful. Since Spring days are limited in Kolkata before the much dreaded summers begin,we try to make most of whatever little bit of decent weather is left.Soon,it will be too hot and humid to even want to go outdoors!
I wore this outfit for a relaxing afternoon out last Sunday  The floral pants cheer up the most boring days and about my obsession for pink you will soon find out with the upcoming posts. Everytime,I see something in the most in-your-face bright pink...I just have to pick it up.If you give me an option between any color and pink.It will always be pink!I had planned to put on pink nail paint also but didn't get the time and I really wanted to do another outfit post soon.The makeup is minimal with just a hint of Kohl and Lipbalm as I don't like too much of a fuss on weekends unless I'm going somewhere dressy.Do let me know what you think?
