A black leather dress isn’t exactly exactly the natural outfit choice for brunch. But this happens every year! Just when spring is around the corner I remember all the awesome winter clothes I forgot to wear. Or atleast haven’t worn yet. (And thats also how you end up wearing a black turtleneck in April but…
Take 3: Denim Crazy
Who doesn’t love denim? We certainly do! Its this universal love for denim that prompted us to use it for our latest edition of Take 3. And I have to say this is one of my favorites so far. The easiest outfit in the world and perhaps the most loved is a pair of denims…
Short Girl, Tall Boots #OOTD
I jumped on the tall boots trend quite soon. Atleast relatively soon. This was also helped in part by the fact my old boots completely gave up on me and it was so cold the idea of wearing boots tall enough that they made trousers optional sounded great. Of course, there are problems with tall…
Sephora? I Would Rather Have a Boots Instead!
Bombay finally has a Sephora. My male friend who does not wear makeup informed me of this fact. So imagine the drama this has created if even he heard about this!

Basic Makeup Essentials: The Only Things You Need in Your Makeup Bag
I have recently come to realize that my makeup addiction is a very real thing. I constantly find myself buying new makeup when I know perfectly well that I’ll probably never be able to finish the stuff I already have. Honestly it can be quite overwhelming at the makeup counters, what with all the bright…
The Indian Beauty Stuff Everyone Should Use!
When I decided to move to London, these were the three fashion related thoughts that came to mind: I can wear boots, I can wear (faux) leather and I can even wear (faux) fur. The beauty stuff was not something I really thought of too much. I am not much of a beauty-makeup person although…
My Shopping Bag: Colour of the Year – Marsala erstwhile Oxblood erstwhile Maroon erstwhile Dark Red
If you read fashion or lifestyles magazines or news, you may have heard (rather, could not have helped but hear) that Marsala is the colour of 2015. No, you are not crazy and the only person who has never heard of this colour and does not know what it is (I am still grappling with…
TAKE 3, Diwali Dressing
I had a great Diwali with somosas, jalebis and gulab jamuns – hope everyone else did too. Also, had the chance to finally wear the Indian wear I had lugged all the way to London!
