SALE! season

SALE comes every season for a reason!

I hate going for sales! But honestly at F21 it feels like a sale everyday. I've never seen that store maintained, Sale or no sale. It's a sea of cloths to go through and nothing fits right :( I was in no mood to drive all the way to Zara, simply because their stores are in malls so far away in no mans land. Yes you guessed it right! for someone who grew up in a city its nice to go to the center of the city where you can do all types of shopping, where I can pick up both branded and street side things :) 

Now I'm not saying I won't go to Zara, and I did eventually end up at the Zara sale! It's just that at the start of the sale season I was at F21. Like always I made 5 rounds around the store, I tried on twenty outfits and discarded most because of the fit. Finally like always the first pick is the right pick and I couldn't let go of the top. But like always no matter what you buy at a sale we have to end up buying something non discounted, and I found those denims with the back zipper which were so cool. So I just gave up hunting through the merchandise when I realized I have an awesome pairing. I know I'm being exhausting describing my shopping adventure but it doesn't stop there, see my favorite accessory brand was on sale too. ALDO was on sale and something about their accessories just make me so happy. Picked up 2 sunglasses, an eternal weakness laid to rest.

Neon

She's always buzzing just like Neon, Neon, Neon

I know I've expressed my dislike for jeans many times before but I've been hording cloths in my wardrobe waiting for a sunny day to wear some of them. That stupid fear of wearing a good outfit for the wrong occasion. When my friend so graciously requested my presence at the filming of her music video I was so flustered about what to wear. She kept saying come formally dressed! Oh gosh! of all the things people say. But I said hey! Not like it really meant anything because it was happening @ urban solace, now for such an amazing place how could anyone wear formals. 

So finally when I opened my over cluttered wardrobe and found my neon top, I just had to wear it. There was something about the colour, I still remember the first time I saw a bunch of neon garments on one rail. That was a while back when I still worked for Maison, It was the happiest rail in the store. Of course I lied when I told everyone I could never carry it off. So When I found this @ soul sante I grabbed it with both hands.

So it took me a few more seconds to decide what to wear it with, naturally with the insufficient time at hand I chose to wear it with my skinny jeans and pumps (I know it such a typical cliche). So I paired it with a printed belt and over-sized clutch, also that ring I've been wearing to work almost every day. Amen! I was done...

the colour yellow

It is criminal after over a month to be talking about how much I shopped in Delhi, so I won't! However it's never criminal to talk about the yellow ;) I do love every thing about yellow, how could you not like it too! I remember my first yellow acquisition was a yellow puma bowler bag, everyone would smile at the sight of it (Amused or annoyed, either ways they did!). Unspoken fact about yellow is that you can never wear it unless you consciously choose to be happy about life. It's too bright a colour to contain, it just naturally spreads happiness.

However this shirt however had the misfortune of being worn the first time to a hand block printing unit, but of course we were expected to do some of the block print ourselves! And like my track record goes I stained it with printing dye (FYI all my school uniform shirts had paint stains on them!). Although it was an awesome experience, and it never fails to remind me why I appreciate what Fab India does for Indian artisans.

So everyone out there, Especially you designers who understand the pain of making that one hand stitch or changing that one font, do feel free to patronize these products. If you don't the art will eventually become extinct, If not to mention pricey. Also for those of you who don't think these products are fashionable enough, do keep your eyes on my blog a lot more Fab India products will show up. P.S. its the side effect of working in a place where cloths are affordable!

What's the next best thing to a super hero?

Have you wondered what it is like to discover aliens? I always have, I secretly wish some mutated DNA would give me super powers. But next best thing to being a super hero is genius who figures out the super heros! (I know some of you would rather be swept of your feet by Thor, but not me) Have you been watching MARVEL's agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? I am, and it's obsessive! and like every other TV series my favorites are the genius Fitz and Simmons. Their intelligence and natural curiosity makes they all the more amusing to watch. honestly it's been a while since I've watch a chic in a nerdy role (oh! wait do you remember anyone else?) I'm not saying Jemma's better than hard faced May or sneeky Skye, she's just so much more intelligent and well dressed. At least I can choose to dress like her. ;)

I know we have Mr. muscle man and Agent May to protect us, against the enemy. But who can figure out what energized Ward is an asgardian staff, or figure out what happen to the particle accelerator, or the strange electro magnetic disease and the anti serum for it. We all need the logical solution to the problem, even though we wish for a magical one. Yes sir! Jemma Simmnos is on the case.
