They All Should Never Look The Same

A few days back, I saw my flatmate watching a TV show on TLC in which they gave makeovers to people. The difference between the before and the after was really striking. The best thing that I noticed about the show was that the stylist did not force her style on the participants. She made sure the participants were comfortable and happy with their new look. If they did not like a certain colour or do not really like a certain way of dressing, they were heard.

The whole thing made me think of how we feel free and happy when we dress up the way we want to. And I find it strange when some people think everyone in the world should dress up in a certain way. They do not even consider, even for once, that not everyone likes the same thing. I have seen this happening a lot within gangs of girls. Some of them tend to tell others how to dress up and most of the time, they all end up looking just the same! 

Some like bodycon dresses, some like shift dresses or maxi dresses or no dresses but pants or shorts. Some like their shorts to look tailored while others like them really casual or even ripped.

They all should never look the same. 

I am happy in those distressed jeans and white t shirt and my Daniel Wellington watch. Hope you have used the discount coupon rupadw while buying a watch from their collection. Checkout Daniel Wellington's website here and their Instagram account here.

Anyway, enough of my observations. You guys have a great weekend. Please like my Facebook page. And yes, I am now there on Instagram as well.

The Precious One

In all the life that I have lived so far, I have seen people being very possessive about a few things e.g. a piece of jewelry, a box of collectibles, a family heirloom etc. I had this friend who would keep a book gifted by her mother safe in a wooden box and no one dared touch it.

In my case, that much treasured possession is my Daniel Wellington watch. I have never seen a better designed watch and there is nothing I would like to change about it. I am so possessive about it. I have given my previous watch to my sister. But no one will get this one :)

Check their website to explore a world of the best edgy watches ever. And yes, here is the good part. Use coupon code rupadw before making the payment and you will get 15% discount. The code is valid till 30th November.

Don't forget to have a look at their Instagram account. Trust me, you will love it.

Rock Chic Meets Pearls

I have tried to add some feminine element into this one. Pearls. Pearls remind me of my friend Pooja. That girl would add pearls to anything and everything and it looks so cool. I will feature her on my blog. Soon. I have not even asked her yet. But why ask? She will be here. 

Like A Boy

Some of us are born tomboys. My sister was the big one. I mean if being tomboyish was measured with a number, say 3, 6 and 10, then she is an absolute ten. In this post, we have tried to create a boy inspired outfit that would look totally cool. I mean, look at this one, if you  increase the length of those shorts a bit, just a bit, an average boy could totally rock this outfit. 

You guys have a great weekend.

Very Indian

Whenever someone asks me how I am, I have this usual answer, I am okay, everything is the same. And its weird. Because everything is not the same actually. Its just a weird habit of mine to say everything is the same. Or maybe, I do not give importance to anything. So I end up not talking about things.

Don't know what am I talking. You guys have a great weekend. Sharing with you a post on Indian clothing this weekend. This is my sister again, posing happily for the blog and her Facebook profile pictures. 

Tote Bags and Us

I like tote bags. They make me feel I have so much to do. And they don't let me struggle with my stuff. I like women in maxi dresses and tote bags, going about their business, walking from one shop to another for hours.

Why are tote bags a must have?

They may look like a huge square shaped things made of cloth, but there is more to them. You can carry your laptop (in my case, the beloved camera), an e-book reader or a pair of flats in case you might have to walk later (Yeah walking in heels is not awesome, but that is a different story). 

And you can customize a tote bag without breaking your bank. You can have the photo of your loved one on it or you can write something as well. There are many websites offering those kind of things. 

And I think it is so cool when men carry tote bags. I am kind of sick of seeing men with backpacks all the time. The Guardian's Kyle Chayka once explained why every real man carries a tote and why it is unfair to call it a murse.

"Tote bags were originally as manly as could be. LL Bean designed the modern tote’s first ancestor in 1944 with the Bean’s Ice Carrier, a hefty bag made of reinforced cotton for carrying giant blocks of ice from car to ice chest”. How much more rugged can you get," he says.

I agree.

Sea Gets Me Thinking

So I took a break of exactly three months. Hope you all are doing well. I will take the liberty of talking as if nothing happened. As if there was no gap. So.... I was talking about the sea. At nights, when the waves hit the shore, they made a sound that got me excited at first. And with every wave, the sound grew on me. Even as I walked, I tried to block all the thoughts, all the footsteps, all the little sounds, to listen to the waves, to check if they have gotten a bit ordinary now.

They did not.

My friend says God is in the waves. As I spotted a tiny boat at the brink one morning, I wondered, there is nothing in there. No society, no biases, no rules, nothing. All that is there is a fisherman and his will to survive. Everything else is non-existent. And I thought some more.

The point I am trying to make is that the sea gets you thinking. If you are looking for some answers, you may like to give it a try. I know that everything is within. But nature plays its part. It always has. 

Philosophy apart, I look happy. Right? Love the Forever 21 blouse and shorts.
