summer wardrobe

Lighter Brighter Summer

Whats worse than the perfectly cool Bangalore turning incredibly hot in summer. Yup summer is setting in! and it's time for a wardrobe change. I couldn't think of a better way of starting my summer shopping with a pair of shorts. I don't even know how much longer I would survive the heat my hair down, The fringe is killing me now. summer makes me want to lighten everything I wear. Yes that means lighter cloths, lighter colours, lighter make-up, lighter footwear. I know many of you might wonder why the scarf? but hey, truth be told I find wearing a cotton scarf in summers just as good as wearing an over sized scarf in winter.

the new ugly

The UGLY trend

So what is the cause for the drift from neat sharp stilettos to chunky block heels, from neat light weight jewelery to the bold over sized awkward pieces, from Persian cats to the Sphnyx cat. I really don't know! I read a whole article about it in ELLE but it failed to make any sense. Its that tread report that drew me to this tee. It looked so perfect I had to get it! Now I'm not trying to look ugly, but for someone who was a printed T-shirt teenager in the 90's this outfit came together naturally out of instinct.

Flea market buys #1

Why we all should go flea market shopping?

So flea markets, exhibitions, bazaars, and any type of events used to make a account for quite a bit of my family entertainment when I was a kid. I even got lost in one of them, one of my most amusing childhood memories of trying to be Sherlock! Ah forgive me, I could go on and on about those memories. But in the recent past we've all see a rise in the number of flee markets hosted in the city, especially targeting youngsters like us who like to do cheap shopping, fancy food and drinks, with a live band playing in the background.

Flee markets can be annoying most of the times, but there will be that one thing that you will find that will brighten up your whole day. Likewise I can never forget that day, my car lost a bumper (never mind that story) it was the first time I meet my best friends boyfriend (Ewwww) and the heat and dust of palace grounds was killing me! Yet what made my day was finding that dress :) 

We all know solids can make a statement in itself, but those who know me also know grey no matter which shade would be too dull for my nature. The accessories light up the effect of the dress, Never forget your accessories can make or break an outfit. p.s. this is something I would typically wear while thrift shopping or going out with my friends. With a jacket and heels I could even wear the dress to work!
