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! Bidisha is as unimpressed as ever – she is usually unimpressed by anything popular and anything you would stereotypically expect a fashion stylist in…
Autumn Androgyny, Winter Shopping & Blog News! #OOTD
You may have seen me showing off my new shoes. I am slightly ashamed to say I was very sneaky and cheap about these. I absolutely knew I should not spend money on another pair of heels after I got these two pairs. We were ambling around Brick Lane and magically ended up at an All Saints sample…
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…
Sweater Dress and Purple Lips #OOTD
I was going out for dinner, and for once it was quite chilly here in Bangalore. Perfect time to bring out this sweater dress I’ve had for ever. It was marked as a dress when I bought it, but its way too short for me to ever wear it as one. I always end up…
How to Wear Summer Clothes in Winter #OOTD
Its not shocking that once its officially winter and I can no longer wear skirts without tights or go out without at least two layers, I long to wear all my summer clothes. A friend in India recently asked me how I have managed – have I packed up my summer clothes (or Bombay clothes),…
The Long and Short Of It: Long Cardi and Short Shorts!
I dragged my husband to the Vogue’s Night Out shopping event (and got myself this cool coat on discount). This was back in September when I could still get away with wearing one cosy cardigan. We ended up doing quite a bit of shopping, ending with some great dinner at The Kati Roll Company near…
Denim Shirt as a Jacket #OOTD
For someone who loves jackets, it’s quite strange that I do not own a single denim jacket. They never seemed to quite fit in with my lifestyle in Bombay (where it was too hot to wear denim jackets) and don’t really provide enough protection from London’s cold weather like my leather jackets. I have been wearing my Gap denim shirt as…
Guest Blog ALERT!
I love makeup and spend some considerable time on Pinterest for looks to recreate. And then I swipe on my same old bright lipstick (Boots No. 7 Sienna, MAC Ruby Woo and now Revlon Colourburst Showy) to make up for the outfit which is lacking in colour (always!). And when its a really special occasion…
Confessions of a Lipstick Hoarder: The Only 5 You Need
Okay I’ll admit it. I have a problem. I cant stop buying lipsticks. I don’t know what it is, I’ll be strolling calmly through the mall minding my own business, and then I’ll spot the MAC counter. And that’s that. 30 minutes later I’ll walk out with a new shade that I’ll convince myself is…
