Outdo Santa with your Christmas pressies

Friday 28 December 2012 /

This Christmas, many of us will already be thinking about whether to buy noisy toys, techy gadgets or beautiful keepsakes for our loved ones. Here are a few gift ideas which are sure to guarantee some happy faces come Christmas Days.So here are just a few random ideas/thoughts on what should make a perfect gift !!

Espresso machine
This one may stretch the budget, but it’s a gadget that will definitely be used by coffee lovers. Nespresso, in particular, has become a bit of a cult, with a loyal and enthusiastic following worldwide. This machine should come with an addiction warning, however. A few smooth shots of the George Clooney-worthy coffee and it’s almost certain you will be joining the hordes of fans that flock to Nespresso’s standalone counters worldwide.

Charm bracelet

The great thing about charm bracelets is that when you start one for your daughter, sister or friend, you won’t have to think too hard about future presents (at least for a while!). You can simply buy a charm to add to the bracelet. Charm bracelets have seen a revival recently, with many modern jewelers selling wide ranges of charms, from lucky dice to
gingerbread men.

Kindle
One of the best gadgets about, Amazon’s Kindle is user-friendly and focused on one thing: reading. The Kindle is great for traveling. You can carry your entire library on it, and it makes reading more easily accessible, with over one million books at your fingertips. The touchscreen Kindle Paperwhite has recently launched in the UK, so what better time to pick up a new reading device for someone you appreciate!

Winter wear
Many people focus their winter wardrobe on clothes that they will out and about, at work or on social occasions. Hence choosing a bathrobe or dressing gown for your loved one might be an unexpected treat. A good quality, warm and comfortable dressing gown is always a welcome gift. It’s easy to shop for dressing gowns online, and they’re a cozy addition to any winter wardrobe.

So here's my compilation of a few gifts,let me know what's your pick ?

Meet the Santa- My Christmas Eve outfit

Wednesday 26 December 2012 / , , , , , , , , , , ,

How was ur'all Christmas celebrations ? I didn't do much, just a quiet dinner with few close friends,and that was all about Christmas Eve for me ! Also not to forget  making of personalized gifts for few kids ! After all for them ,Christmas is only about Santa coming to town,and fulfilling their year's long wishlist ! This was what Santa( tired,hungry and bored ) wore on the Eve,when all I could think was How to please the little tinkers around me !! As for the outfit, it was one of my jeans and shirt days ! The funniest thing I've found is that I can spend hours and hours getting ready to go out, but sometimes the most attractive thing is a gal in a pair of nice jeans and shirt. We just need to get bit crazy and , throw on our favorite jeans, some shoes, and  a shirt, and let few accessories make all that difference, after all its time we make our own rules ? What say?

OOTD- Hearts Stars and Studs

Friday 21 December 2012 / , , , , , , , , , , , ,


Since childhood I haven't been taught to free the ideas from my brain ! Frustration, Anger, Confusion, helplessness all gulped down that throat and my heart became the most heaviest part of my body ! 
But things really changed during my late twenties and more when I became a Mother ! I started living my life the way I want and tried to do whatever made me happy.Blogging is just one part of it ! It really helped me self discover myself and also replaced self talking time ? Eh?(revealed) And I am thankful to no other person than myself for doing that ! ! I have suddenly spurred in action, I go and do new different things,to get authentic stuff for my readers, Even if I look silly or clumsy in any of my outfits, I know I am still gonna be appreciated ! Total win-win ! To sum up,Starting a blog opened up whole worlds that I never knew even existed ! No one wants to be "sold" something every time they read a blog ! Selling true motivation and encouragement still goes a long way ! Sorry for the long Rant ! I really wanna trawl back on this post when it becomes history and set new reminders !**
Time for some pictures now :

Style Statement-Track Pants

Sunday 16 December 2012 / , , , , , , , , , , ,

Delhi got soaked up in December rains and I decided to wind up quick with my meeting and head out for a Brunch ! Sweat pants are an emerging trend right now, and can be dressed for formal and semi formal looks ! Gone are the days when sweatpants could only serve the gym purpose, and when u ask me, I really treat them like any other pants in my wardrobe ! Who says u can't make a statement in them ?(only if u quit wearing them with your sneakers) I accessorized with layered jewellery, added a well fitted tee,a high bun and dark lips for a no fuss look !
Sticking to solid colors might as well do the trick for most of us,and give that feminine edge to any outfit ! Let me know what's ur take on the same !? Yay or Nay?

Minimalistic Trend With a Pop Of Color

Monday 10 December 2012 / , , , , , , , , , , ,

What do you get when u cross a blogger and a small pup ? Hide and Seek ! Its not that I like to pull a lot of funny expressions, but couldn't help it ! End result-  distraction and la-la land ! Pups are not pic friendly,hence could not take even a single steady pic, so u'll have to bear with mine ! Have a look !
 


 
Peek- a boo, with Puppy Woo



I love creating look which is minimal and pop at the same time, giving a perfect lift to an otherwise demure outfit ! Using bold splashes of colors always takes a minimal look to the next level ! I love to build my wardrobe around staples first, and add standout pieces in  bright colors coz for me accessorizing with brights can be a lot of fun ! A basic transitional look, can get a makeover by just adding fit for fall accessories ! With the approach of winters, it's time to start thinking about pieces that can transition into cooler weather, and this summer dress turned out to be weather perfect ! Tell me what ya'll think !?

Go Green With Camo trend

Tuesday 4 December 2012 / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I have these old camo pants which is now years old, and I have hung out so casually in them, wearing them almost everywhere(years back i am talking),And since they have made a huge comeback, so why stop wearing them? The best part that these pants are very versatile and can go with almost everything that you already have in ur closet ! Pair them with neutral tops or mix prints(keep the colors fields same though),add a jacket for an edgy day look, and dress this up for night with a snazzy sequined tank and some funky girly elements to soften the whole look and get that femininity twist!! So have you given this trend a try this fall?

Bird Of Prey

Wednesday 28 November 2012 / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Had to complete this project as a part of my daughter's school assignment where a visit to a historic place is a must every month, more of a personal project for me too ,since I have hardly visited any after I got over my school ! Total Shame ! Henceforth not a bad location for an outfit shoot ! Was not prepared for the same but never mind ! Rush is a time to show off your personal laid back ,style—right? These pictures are from Lodi garden ,A tranquil and peaceful park with  numerous beautiful trees ! It is, in fact, a bird watcher's paradise. Here you can see some exotic birds like babblers, parakeets, mynahs, hornbills, kingfishers, and so on(u can also spot them on my shirt BTW(kidding) ! Sheer Coincidence ! The garden also serves as a picnic spot and as a venue for yoga classes that are held every morning. And apparently this happens to be my especial workout place too,coz of the Piquant breakfast I get to hog at the Garden Restaurant after my class ! These collar chains were lying in my bag since I forgot to keep them back the last time I wore them, hence made a nice saving accessory to add drama to my dressed down look !! My nude lips got a swipe of  Dior Holiday palette, and I was ready to pose for my space on this blog !


Just love this combo of green n blue somehow

It's dark outside early for a reason.And the earth is telling us that it's time to go to bed often, Hallelujah !! Welcome winters ! which means, time for cold feet n fingers, cuddling up in bed till late in the mornings,while slackoff shifting my morning workout, to evenings, coffee right in bed, longing for the warmth of sunshine, soup dates replacing formal dinner dates,having an open air barbeque party with my friends on my rooftop,keeping the wooden stove going..to get the heat ,buy a new pair of gloves after poking a hole through last finger, ! and I can go on...I really admire those who live in areas where they get heaps of snow, along with the freezing temperatures,have experienced it, but am not a Polar bear kind of person ! Its hardly anytime left, when light coats would soon swap places with the woolen ones. Till then, a little sunshine and a Little dress doesn't harm anyone, Isn't it?

Bling Play

Saturday 17 November 2012 / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am back after the celebration week,and that too with an outfit post ! Had a crazy Diwali and ate lot of mitahi's and massed a little inches as well,but that's how festivals are supposed to be celebrated ! Although I am feeling a little off base and guilty since I am always my own motivator, but with all the  sweet distractions which I  say that I very easily and knowingly gave into ,have left me feeling so hung up! Saying no to every delicacies  requires a little bit of willpower fuel, and once you spend that fuel(over so many months) it becomes harder to say no. Also have you heard of the Special- The No S diet program by Reinhard Engels,n ? If not then here are the basic rules,or in other words the commonsense approach to it - No Sweets, No Sugar and No seconds(helpings). follow them over the weekdays and break them on days that start with S -Saturdays, Sundays and Special days ! Now this sounds interesting ? Definitely worth trying out for a month ! And in-case you have too heard of this program or benefited from it,do share your experience in the comments section below !
As for the outfit,I love the color of this blouse and the sleeves are just too medieval ! Layered a few necklaces,brought up the bling factor and just rock n rolled for a date out !








I can be crazy at times....really crazy !
