Shades of Gray: Singapore

Hello Fashionistas

I'm back with another outfit post. This is the second part to my Singapore Diaries. Read the first one here. Universal Studios is just a dream come true. Heaven truly resides here.

On the second day of our trip, we visited the much awaited Universal Studio. There are seven islands in the studios namely- The lost world, Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi city, New York, Hollywood, Madagascar and Far Far away.

So I had a good read about all these islands and tips & tricks to make the Day (yes you require one full day) pleasant.

1) Resist clicking pictures until after you've had covered half the park. There will be plenty of time to click pictures but the more the day proceeds towards the evening, the queue increases.

2) Be sure to absolutely have these rides if you are going to Universal Studios in Singapore:

• The transformers ride which is located at sci-fi city.
• Ancient Egypt for “revenge of the mummy” ride which is indoor roller coaster. Here you have to put your backpack in locker. (free for 30 minutes)
• Now head for The Lost World to enjoy “Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure ride”. In this ride, you might get wet. So wear your poncho or raincoat before entering. If you don’t have one, you can buy one from there.
• After that you can go for the “Battlestar Galactica”. This is a outdoor roller coaster which has two tracks, Cylon (blue track) and Human (red track). Cylon is more adventurous than Human.
• Here you have to put your backpack in locker. Remember to empty your pocket. Other attractions you should not miss are: Shrek 4-D, Madagascar: a crate adventure, Light Camera Action, “Water World” show.
• Pay attention to “Character Meet and Greet” timings displayed outside on the board
• Skip Monster Rock show, beach party go round and treasure hunter. (internet research)

Just enjoy the rides and the day that is laid out in front of you. 

Enjoy the rest of my post 

 

 

You will remember this outfit from here

Yellow: Singapore

I was thinking ideas of my next post and that's when it hit me; I haven't shown you guys pictures of my trip to Singapore. The reason is also very clear- that was the time when I became an instagrammer. The only reason why I had an account and didn't post pictures regularly was because I didn't have any! Come Singapore and I had hundreds. So here you go: part 1 of the many posts that you will see on my blog every now and then.

On our way to Gardens by the Bay

Singapore is such an incredible place to have a vacation in; I know now. One day we were sitting at home and I came across this post about cheap destinations (flight) from India. While Singapore isn't really that cheap but it came last in the list. I happened to just check the prices of flight and made a list of places we can go to, in descending order. I pitched (yes pitched) the idea to my dad and he asked me to check hotel prices of Singapore. By evening, I was checking what one can do in Singapore and the price attached to it. Within a week of it, I was planning itinerary! The thing about planning and akanksha is that, we can never go wrong. I love planning so this was like my very own baby. I planned each and every hour with back-up places to visit so that we can utilize maximum from the 4-day trip. We had so much fun you guys so if anyone needs an itinerary/tips for Singapore then let me know. I promise I won't charge a penny ;)

Color Zombie

Hello Beautiful :)

There are several meanings to this word and yet just one message is received: Your soul attracts me. Before I go overtly romantic, let's get lost in the colors that you're gonna see in this post. You all know my love for mint but a very few know how much I detest Gold/golden. It doesn't look good on me (or so I feel); but the moment I saw this bracelet on Zaful, I HAD to HAVE it (is this correct English?. Nevermind; the bracelet looks so good on my hand that even if it's the only accessory I'm wearing, it completes me!

 

Next, these shades. So my old blog readers know my love for cat-eyed glasses back from my giveaway triumph. I'm not a very 'accessory' person so more often than not, you won't find any accessory on me. I know it might be a taboo in the blogging world and many you might find it weird but I like to keep it simple (boring, eh?) and only let my clothes & shoes define me. Sometimes when I'm in a really good mood then a charm necklace/earrings/bracelet comes along. 

So when I found these cat-eyed glasses in leopard print, I knew I would wear them <not-very-often> but cherish them forever.

 

A special mention the the material of these glasses- The glass & frame quality is so good that my mom, who is usually skeptical about shopping from abroad, praised the brand and even called dibs on this one.

Pants on Fire!

Hi Folks

There comes a time in every blogger's life when they want to experiment all the way. For me, these baggy pants are 'it'. I had a hard time pairing these since I don't have those perfect abs else crop tops would have been the obvious choice. Still I tried my best and came up with this outfit. Even if you have fuller bottom or waist, wear what makes you happy. It's my goal to achieve a toned body and that's my choice which gives me immense satisfaction (exercising).

So here you have, the best version of baggy pants on my body (as of now) 

 

I wasn't very comfortable with the drawstring so used a different belt :)

Patch Jeans: Zaful, Top: Lovelywholesale, Moccasins: Nineteen

Here's my wishlist from Zaful. I just love their quirky & bold collection.

 

1. Dress

2. Bracelet

3. Pumps

4. Bag

Don't forget to participate in my GIVEAWAY: You can win $70 gift card. Ends 5th Oct IST.

Until then

Shine Bright!

Years to LookBack

It's been 5 years since I've started blogging and the journey has been quite amazing. This isn't a 'blogging-has-taught-me-so-much' moment, although it did! But, I just wanted to look back at all the fabulous pictures and tried to recall the fun I had during the photoshoot. So in this post I'll be sharing the amazing moments and what I love about that outfit :)

Sit back and relax!

The first time I wore a lipstick. Gosh! I was so nervous as I know nothing about makeup, the right shade or even to wear one but, I did it anyway. It's about feeling good right? So I felt.

I did the basic white and black look here and completed it with two different accessories- a hat and a floral headband.

This was a very sunny day and I sort of regretted wearing those pants (not mine!) so I said to myself, 'Hey! Why not try something new' and so I tied my favorite scarf and voila!

You'd see this sling bag in so many posts. This is undoubtedly one of my favorite bags. It is stylish, light and so useful to carry on a day-out, date or a party.

I asked my friend who is a photographer, to click some nice pictures for my shopping haul. We went out to Carter road, Bandra and had a blast while shooting it; never-mind the sun!

My favorite thing about this outfit was the blue canvas shoes. They are my brother's but I gave a twist to it by going lace-less ;)

Goa is so much fun with friends! We danced to Lean On, partied under the stars, sun-bathed at Candolim beach and kept ourselves hydrated with watermelon & kiwi juices!

I finally found a reason to wear crop tops and my leather shorts (in India). I had worked so hard to prepare a toned body for Goa and the results were truly fruitful.

This outfit is again from Goa Diaries. The sun was upon us but hey, it's always great for photoshoots!

I hadn't wore this magnificent dress for like-ever. With my body in shape and at the right place, I took out my floral headband and let my hair down. It felt so airy and light in this piece of maxi-dress.

My last academic farewell was so emotional and fun-filled. Click on the picture above to read more :)

I'd have to say, I had not gained as much as eye-balls 'in college' as I did that day when I wore this nude-colored elegant piece of jumpsuit. My first, yes!

At last, the bidding goodbye to Mumbai pose. This picture was taken at Worli Sea Face. I loved everything about that day, the weather, fresh air and my natural waves.

I have to admit, I have so many blues but this kind of blue sets my mood high: such a paradox! This romper glides over my skin so well and the lacework is just so splendid.

I love to organize my photo albums with nice and customized designs. Look how I created my own lookbook for Social Print Studio's custom photo books.

Waiting for your views.

xoxo
