Mumbai Forever

will be my second home

Right before when you are about to give up on something, life gives you the same thing from a different angle and then; all of a sudden, you begin to love it or at least do something to accommodate the change. I have always disliked Mumbai (from the bottom of my heart) but before I left it; we developed a love-hate relationship. Love from Mumbai, Hate from me. But the day I left it, I realized how much I'm leaving with it. The friends I had made, the food I had wished was a bit spicier, the weather to be a little more generous and most of all- the rains to just stop being so heavy on us! Everything said and done, I knew I'd miss it because of the company I'd keep but I couldn't be more wrong. It taught me everything I'm proud of today!

So, I was more than happy to accompany dad for his friend's daughter's wedding. Met friends and made a day out of it. 

Here's the outfit that keeps coming back to me. I can wear it Dungaree style, 70s style or just the formal way! This is my favorite style and I cannot wait to explore more in the same version. 

Let me know how you'd style your dugarees ;)

I'm my own Gold

Hello people

How many times have you dropped down low, gotten up; only to be disappointed again? Many a times it so happens that we digest our pain either by enjoying it or accepting that it is a part of life and when we do so, we hope for so much more than we were hoping before but fail to realize that we need double the energy now lest we fail again. Each time you try the same thing, do so with more efforts and more positivity. We fail to realize the impact, positive thoughts have on our daily lives. Take for e.g. showering. You enter into the shower, put soap then rise, dry yourself and come out. This is a normal routine for most of us. On another note- imagine that you get up with a smile and remind yourself to give your best today no matter what. Now with these happy thoughts, you enter into the shower and do everything mentioned above. The only difference being, you are either singing, dancing or smiling or doing everything at once. Do not tell me this never happens! Try it, you will be surprised as to how your day changes :)

So when this little cutie came to me, I was just extremely happy to be having something Gold that I do not have to wear it on my wrist/neck/ears. I'm not very fond of Gold: more-so, golden! Zaful has just what makes me happy. I'm so happy with their products and service that it's almost an addiction to check their website time and again. For now, you should go and check them out.

Overall; it's good!

Hey peeps

 

These words, mean everything! I mean look at people around you. Eighty percent of them do not want you to be happy, fall in love or travel freely because they couldn't or can't. They want you to live your life the way they had even if they had promised themselves that they will treat you differently than how their loved ones treated them. And I'm talking about those who matter to you. Those who don't, needn't be the steering in your drive :)

I've always been positive, determined and hard working throughout my life. When things pull me down, I quickly think of 2-3 things that instantly distract me and do them! Distracting is good. Distracting doesn't mean you are ignoring your feelings or thoughts. It means that if the thoughts were important or would do you any good then they will jump right up in your happier times. I've decided that whenever things affect me on conditions that I can' do anything about it: then I just try to live each day, one day at a time; one step at a time :)

So winters are finally here in Delhi and I couldn't be more sad. I mean I hate winters, that's true but they just make morinings all the more difficult. I wore this woolen sleeveless top underneath my overalls that I received from Fashionmia.com. The combination was so killer that everybody commented two things

- Aren't you cold?

- Wow! You look great!

When people you don't talk to often, say this; it means something doesn't it?

Also, No I wasn't cold because this top from 8th grade (yes I'm still tiny and I save) is so warm that I was actually sweating all day with red cheeks!

Enjoy the post and let me know if you want to see anything different in the way I post-look-blog interface: anything!

Mama Mia!

Hello Beautiful

Yesterday (and the week before) was such a blissful occasion. In India, we celebrated Diwali or Deepawali as a gesture of triumph of good over evil. Some celebrate the occasion by bursting cracker (majority which is reducing) while others like me, decorate their homes, make rangoli, dress up, put heena or mehendi. It's my FAVORITE FESTIVAL of the year. I don't know; there is this sweet smell in the air that makes me smile endlessly.

This is what I wore for the occasion and you can also see how my mom decorated the home.

With all this festivity around that won't stop until New Year; I decided to check out FashionMia

I like how there are multiple colors in same designs and that their outerwear section is flooded with coats which is exactly what we need since it's going to get chilly soon.

They also have an app ready for those who like to shop on-the-go.

Their Halloween sale Ends on 1st Nov which has upto 50% off on great items.

For greater ease of customers, they have 3 sections marked red- New In, Top Sellers & Flash Sale. I think this is a prerequisite for any fashion website depending upon customers' needs.

And now, it's time for ratings.

Let me know how your Halloween goes and what you were ;)
