Made to Fly

So, being the blind person that I am, I pay a lot of attention to eyewear. I need to buy something that won't make me look like too much of a nerd.
So, I went ahead and bought my first Ray- Bans. I went with the classic aviators. I did have a moment of indecision when it came to choosing between the aviators and the wayfarers. But then, I decided to go with the classic.

So, go on, get those aviators since you know you can never be kept down.

Little drops of the ocean

So, I have a recently developed a huge fascination for pearls. I think they make any and every dress look elegant. I like to buy them as and when I can. Or sometimes *borrow* them from my mom. My mom has an even wider range of pearls than I do. And I have successfully convinced her to gift some of them to me.

One of the basic necessities of owning pearl jewellery is according to me a long string of pearls and short neckpiece with two pearl studs. That should be the initiation of any girl into pearldom. After that, you can start experimenting with your pearls. Like the silver earrings I got from Curio Cottage in Bombay. Or the pearl and stone necklace.

Other than experimenting with stones and metals, you can also experiment with the shapes and colors of pearls. Like my pink pearls or the rice pearls from the Charminar city, Hyderabad.

The last word in pearls is of course the Chanel Pearls. So beautiful.

So, go out there. And get pearled up.

You know you want to.

Current Obsession: Mint

I am currently obsessed with everything Mint or Turqouise. I know it is more of a spring/summer color than fall but in Chennai it is always summer so I feel like wearing it all year round. It's flattering on everyone and it will surely brighten up your day.

Here are some of my favorite Mint accessories:

I got this bangle from Forever 21 in Singapore. I love the tiny bow detail. 

I love these Chandelier earrings as they add a pop of color to any outfit. I like to pair them with an all black outfit with my hair in a top knot.

I got these earrings from Accessorize ages back but I still wear them a lot. They are perfect to wear to the office with a Kurti. 

I got this oversized clutch from Accessorize during sale. It is a statement piece and I like to keep rest of the outfit simple whenever I carry it. 

And finally mint nails!!  

Fashion Essentials: première partie

Everyone has fashion essentials. Everyone should have them. Be it your loose red shorts you spend your Sunday lounging in or be it those towering electric blue heels which give you shoe bites (what's a bit of pain when it comes to looking good!)

I think, fashion essentials vary depending on the place you live at. I mean, my black coat and leather boots would be my fashion cannot-do-withouts when I am in London. But, c'mon. I'd have to be a lunatic to wear a black coat and walk around in a place where winter never arrives. 

So, here goes, my fashion essential list for Bombay to help me stay fabulous and chic:

1. My Black heels

Make that all the pair of black heels that I own. I have 4 pairs. Not too much right? Yeah, they are, when you end up having to pay extra baggage for extra pairs of shoes. I have formals, I have sky high, I have lace, I have peep-toe; sigh.
And trust me, the moment I see another black pair, I am going to have very little self restraint to keep me from picking them up.

2. The color red

Yeah, I have a major fetish for the color red. I love red shoes, red lipstick, red nailpaint, red dresses and of course, red does look very very good if taken further. 

Can you imagine the world without the color red? You wear an absolutely drab dress in brown or some equally boring pastel shade and smear some red lipstick or paint your nails red and you'll still make heads turn. Oh, and don't even get me started on red heels.

3. Lace

I remember my friend telling me she would disown me if I went after any more lace. I have lace in every form of clothing you can think of. And since that wasn't enough, I went ahead and bought some shoes with lace too. Pretty much everyone has had enough of me and my lace. But I haven't been able to get rid of this addiction. Not that I am trying either. 

4. Coral Lipstick

This is fairly new love of mine. But I think its going to stick with me for
sometime, like every little thing I usually pick up does. 

I absolutely adore coral lips. And in the Bombay sun, it just seems to be such a perfect match. 

5. LBD
Last but not the least, my little black dress. I mean, it has to be there on the list.
Immortalized by Audrey Hepburn, adored by millions, making women all over

the world feel beautiful is the little black dress.  I am not even going to say why
its on my list of fashion essentials.
I like pairing mine with pearls or a single stone pendant. And my black heels.
And a tweed jacket. Classy. Always!

Well, that's my five fashion essentials. For Bombay. 

You know you want them.
