Vero+Moda

I discovered Vero Moda about 4 - 5 months ago when they sent across some gift vouchers , until then all plans to make a trip to the store had somehow been futile .However  I'm a regular there these days , check there collection every time i pass by a store or see something new and interesting on there facebook page . If you guys haven't discovered Vero Moda yet make a trip quickly :)

Mango

Meet my newest lovely .The Mango dress I scored  a while ago i have worn this so many times surprisingly I have just one set of pictures.It's one of the softest fabric feels so snugly .

And Then I go And Spoil It All

Just got from an impromptu trip from Mumbai . The sad news is I lost all the pictures I took of me ,people ,random people/things .(Read) a stupid Picassa mistake.I know this will me make sad in the later part of my morning coz right now I'm too tired to be bothered .So until I find time to click new pictures which would only be next week end ,I've decided to dig into my Singapore archives as there were so many pictures to be posted and stories to be told.

There's A New Button In Town

I was in Bangalore a couple of weeks ago , as usual on my list of things to do  was to visit this new independent store in Indranagar called The Yellow Button . Must say I was quite impressed . More about the store will be the content of my next post . This is just a quick "what i got from the store  " post  . Meet my newest basket cum bag cum laptop holder cum book rack . It's pretty ,  assortment of colors and produced by an NGO so guilt free it is . 

P.S If any of you know of such stores in Pune do drop me an E-Mail .

Wrapped in Gold

One of my favorite jackets from Mango , Quite sadly it's been trapped somewhere at the back of my closet in Bangalore  ,Can it get a little colder already my jackets would love to breathe once in a while . 

A whole bunch of readers have been mailing for quite sometime now asking me to do some how to wear basic elements in your closet kinda posts ,been putting it for a while now , so here is what i'am gona do starting from next post on ,will do a series on re-usability as in how a basic pieces  can be worn in different ways .  So people stop threatening  me  :-)

Neon

Off late the highlight off my evenings are  finding the  perfect cafe which serves the most delicious mouth watering hot -Chocolate-Walnut pie and yummy coffee in cute little mugs .Makes me wanna turn this into a food blog.Once this is done taking a long random walk to find a small little store which has all kinds of neon nail paints .Then finding a book-lending store  and the lady who owns it turns out to be this  absolutely charming and oh so swell  , has some brilliant stories to share about some super interesting travel chronicles person ,these encounters gives me hope  "you can break my  dreams but not my spirit  "so much for my  perfect ending .

P.S coincidently these pictures were in front of a really cool book-store in Bangalore

Maxi Skirt

 I'am missing some of my favorite people in the world and my lovelies -doggies like crazy . Apart from that i miss Bangalore coz it lets me  wear red/violet wayfarers , long maxi skirts and some crazy shoes, walk around all over town without being starred at like some crazy person from Uganda , oh yes people here keep asking me if thats where I'am from ,now i just nod and say yeah yeah thats right . Initially i thought it was a made up place apparently not .So much about the all the updates  , will have to get back to some non-consensual study material reading .So long .

P.S :if your looking for some consensual reading Ella Minnow Pea is your book .

Mirrors

If i had to come up with one word that  described the feeling in my head off late ,rather the past month i would say "snooze" . Perpetually sleepy and hungry .I watched 2 movies back to back this weekend while in the same state of mind , movies make more sense that way you know. One of them was this Persian feature film called Mirror ,absolutely loved it .The movie stops half way when this little girl who is the main lead refuses to act anymore just coz she doesn't feel like it however  the movie continues as the producers decide to secretly film her after she leaves the set and thinks she's one her own. Absolute drama queen she turns out to be .It's supreme and a must watch

Cape-Dress

In the past year I've realized that a camera which is remotely fancy looking can make people act like absolute nut cases in front of you since for some reason the person holding it according to most  folks is almost always somebody who can make you famous , splash your face across front pages of magazines and papers . Something similar happened when we went to click some pictures at this Dhobhi Ghat place . Initially they wouldn't let us click pictures coz they were scared we would reveal the top secret ingredient being used here while washing clothes or something like that but within minutes it changed (read a glimpse of my camera) So basically I had them convinced that there 15 mins of fame was starring right at them .The price that had to be paid was i had click pictures of everybody at this place washing clothes/themselves their kids, aunties uncles ,family portraits .After all the madness ended i was finally happy to indulge in some narcissistic behavior.

Forever New

One of the main highlights of moving to Pune was I thought I'll get to visit Mumbai and all the fun places around (read Goa). Also I was super thrilled about the Lakme Fashion Week.Had some really awesome passes for all the shows happening over the next 2 days  and i cannot believe It's not happening for me . I was ready to fly down all the way from Bangalore for this a couple of months ago but now that I'am a few hours away it's even more depressing that I'am not going . I had a like an awesome plan n stuff,  first there was breakfast planned at Cafe Leopold then a stroll down Colaba ,catch up with all the my friends there , Damm !! Should find somebody quickly here to donate the passes to. I really don't wanna use them as bookmarks .

Mango

This was taken the evening i left Bangalore , Ruhi and I met up did exactly the same things we always do together , first clicked some pictures and later hung out at one our favorite cafe's and chatted for hours till i realized i would miss my flight . Ahhh !! how i miss doing nothing . 

Every-time i wear these trousers here in Pune for some reason people keep asking me if it's from China , now I keep wondering if it's an honest Pune question or i genuinely look like an absolute "nut case" in them .

(Wearing: Top :Mango Boots: Tibetian Plaza,Trousers:Code,Bag :Orange Bicycle ring -gift,Belt:Safina Plaza)

I know i promised the Orange Bicycle post a hundread years ago but it's just i had to share this amazing bag which has walked into my closet again from the same place. Shweta Rao's ( Stalk Her Here) Oh so sweet going away gift for me.After a long hard days work she managed to find this store buy something i had always wanted and made it to my so called "going away party" so it was an overdose of sweetness that night.Thanks a ton Shweta now i can strike one of "wanted" items from my wish list.

Saturday ritual

It's been a while since i dusted my camera , absolutely randoms shots of what i wore yesterday, Pune debut .This whole process in Bangalore used to be so much fun though half the time i would land up bickering like a first grader( this one time i'am very sure i was super close to pulling hair pinching and running away) with who ever was clicking pictures for me coz they wouldn't do telepathy so no mind reading happens hence pictures in my head don't transfer as results on my LCD screen .There were times when  some super funny things would happen as well. Now i really appreciate all the the help i had ,some from super awesome friends at times  mum and did my best to bully my brother as well basically anybody who would put up with all my tantrum throwing .

P.S spotted my first spec of grey so depressing ,thought i had to be at-least a 160 for that

                   jean trousers - Splash , Shoes - Bata , Belt&choker - Safina Plaza 

Balloon skirt

While at home in Bangalore there was so many things i would just take for granted like Internet , inverter, hot yummy dinner the list can just drag from here . Now i actually realize that they were luxuries and not basics, my data card for some reason stopped working and ever since I've been using a computer that belongs to the manual computer booting time zone.I have to climb 4 floors for that as well and i need to rest after 2 floors.

Inspite of the fact that i had so much to do i finally managed to sneak around the city for an awesome dinner at this divine place called Malaka Spice and all thanks to one of my first blogger friends "Vibhuthi" (You can stalk her here.Hmm did i mention soon to be writer)Who very sweetly picked me up from my place and suggested we had to go grab dinner there.Must say Pune sure looks heavenly on a saturday night or i don't know if it was the company .

P.S this is not what i wore though :)

Draped skirt

There's a whole bunch of study material on my table waiting to be finished and i thought i was done with books sigh!!! such an effort not to let my mind wander off and think about all the interesting things i could be doing here in Pune . On my way back by the end of the day on shared auto's all i want to do is take a few more trips up and down so that i can people watch .In a span of 5 km's  at-least 20 people get on and off on the whole , apart from that I've noticed wrought iron benches on the side walk ,where people randomly sit . i want to do that !!! damm !!! the luxury of time . It would be super fun to sit there with a camera .Like this wasn't enough my friends have been suggesting some awesome-ly interesting cafe's i should visit.The weather doesn't really help either at-least if it was hot i could just sulk and sit inside but it's perfect "feels like going out " weather .Things don't really seem to be adding up like the way i hoped . Keeping my figures crossed for some spare time so i could do them all .

p.S pictures from the era when time was all i had

P.P.S Ruhi Just told me that I'am in this months Cosmopolitan ,blogs to book mark or something like that , don't know where to buy magazines here,will post more as soon as i get a copy .Getting super lazy at this need post the Grazia article scan from December , Society Magazine's article from the January issue also the Radio Indigo interview clip soon.
