In most cases summer shoes usually means flip flops, Birkenstocks and ballet flats – basically anything thats slip on and easy to wear. I seem to think of summer shoes differently. I thought these barely there black strappy heels were perfect summer heels! I have been hankering for these shoes for quite sometime now but never…
Shopping Bag: Workwear Buys and #OOTD
Item 1: Stradivarius Faux Leather Pencil Skirt and Item 2: Zara Houndstooth Dress I am obviously some one who takes her own advice. I mentioned this camel faux leather skirt and dress in my workwear post as a fashionable workwear pick and went and picked it up. To offset the slightly daring leather for work I will wear…
My Shopping Bag: Shopping the Holiday Sales
I ended up doing some shopping during the holidays (sadly, quite some time back now). Indulged by buying some practical and basic items and some very fun items as well at the holiday sales. The Jeans, the Jacket and the Jumper This covers the practical buys. Almost everything I am wearing in this outfit is…
Shopping Bag: ‘All my Money Goes to #Zara’
I end up shopping Zara’s sales pretty much every year. Last time I picked up these printed trousers for 10 bucks and was pretty pleased with myself. I just missed the sale when I picked up this houndstooth dress I raved about in my workwear post. But then I did my bit to clear out…

My Shopping Bag: Winterwear
So I had to do some winterwear shopping since I don’t really own much in the way of winterwear suitable for London winters. Except, of course, my trusty Forever New black peacoat and my tailored light duster coat. Item 1: Zara leather biker jacket + coat I loved this coat the first time I saw…
My Shopping Bag: Flea Market, Soul Sante
Soul Sante was filled to the brim with unique, one of a kind, hand made things. I wanted to buy one of everything! But a lot of the stuff especially the flower headbands and things like that, I realized would be novelty items for me. Something that I would end up not getting that much…
My Shopping Bag – (Faux) Leather Love
First, let me clarify, wherever I mention leather in this post I actually mean faux leather. With the beautiful quality of faux leather now available, I see no reason to buy real leather. Of course, this isn’t true if your purpose is to keep warm. However, leather for me is purely about fashion and I…
My Shopping Bag – Almost Monochrome
I hope for these posts to be a series where we write about five-six items we recently purchased, why we picked it up and how we either plan to or have worn and styled them. Needless to say, suggestions about how to wear such items if you already have something similar would be appreciated.
