A new year promises an array of possibilities. Even in fashion, we would have new reasons to look gorgeous. As 2013 comes to an end I look back and see some great fashion trends that only few years offered before.
My favorite trend of the year was boyfriend jeans followed by overalls and of course the very infamous cropped top! Well I don't have a midriff to flaunt a cropped top, but the other two are very much going to be in the closet soon. Am I too late? Maybe. These trends deserve some extension, don't they?
From Kate Middleton's elegant maternity style to Miley Cyrus' love to hate negligee, 2013 had an assortment of fashionable things on offer. This year I loved Marion Cotillard on the red carpet (and well almost everywhere, she is an absolute delight to look at, isn't she?). Beyonce at Mrs. Carter Show World Tour did mean some larger than life fashion and Jennifer Lawrence had a fashionable fall in a lovely Dior dress at the Oscar's.
As we have an addictive weather to sit and eat, I am going to take a short break. Will do all bad things, no work and all play. You guys have wonderful new year celebrations. May the new year be really great for everyone.
Will be back in a few weeks.
It has every reason to be one of winter's most loved colours because the grey not only makes a good twin sister to the weather but also gives way to other colours to come, sit with it and look spectacular.
I don't remember any time of my life when I did not have a grey t shirt. Somehow I used to get a hint from some kind of weirdness that I am running short on them (the tees I mean). For me, a grey t shirt has to be on the top in a list of the most important basics.
I am sorry for not posting on Friday. Even I don't remember what I was doing. Hope you guys are enjoying the Christmas days. Enjoy! Have a good one!

For some, accessories define an entire outfit. A necklace that makes a lot of statement, a pair of ear rings that refuse to unshine, a bag having that perfect allure or bracelets that tell a lot about a person's inner self.
At times I see someone playing really cool with accessories, I close my eyes and picture them sans the little adornments. And it does make a difference. They look different to that perfect flash screen installed in my head.
Achala got this pretty necklace for me from Colaba, Bombay. I would like to spend an entire day at Colaba some day, all alone, just shopping and eating sandwiches.
Hope you guys are having a good time. Christmas is not far. I am suggesting Secret Santa at work. Isn't Secret Santa a wonderful thing?

In my head, I have been taking the rebellious lane for a long time now. Ever since I was 10. I had pictures of studded jackets, messy hair, loud songs, old torn shoes coupled with similar feelings in my head.
But on the outside, everything was subdued, silent and non messy. The interior had a serious conflict of personality with the exterior. But the interior always dominated. Maybe because the head is always stronger than the body.
So do all people dress up the way they are inside their head, calm or restless, grunge or nudes & peaches, palazzos or leggings, basic or flamboyant, black or white? I don't know the answer to this question. But I do want to find and embrace whatever I am.
I believe it takes time to find out what look we really want to sport and not regret later. It will take a while for me. Till then, I will look at people to see what they are doing. You have a great weekend.

A girl in a beautiful cape, that is how I used to remember Abhilasha, founder of the Indian fashion blog 'Looking Good Feeling Fab'. She is a master at wearing one piece of clothing in various fashionable ways. She makes good videos as well. She is also a master of assembling different things to create an outfit that is truly different and inspirational. Here is a short interview with her. Do check her blog and let us know your opinion about it.
What does your blog mean to you?
In one word it means "Opportunity" to me. Its an opportunity to learn, an opportunity to write, an opportunity to connect and so much more..
Which food wards off your blues, instantly?
Maggie when the blues need to vanish in 2mins, cold coffee in the summers and hot chocolate in the winters.
What are you most comfortable wearing?
Anything from my husbands closet..
What is your favorite colour?
Pinks and peaches and whites..yeah I know I am pretty indecisive.
One thing that you would never wear
Never say never...but I think it would have to be anything that has the word balloon attached to it. Balloon dresses, balloon skirts...you get the picture.
Which are some of your favorite blogs?
Wendys lookbook, Kature, Atlantic Pacific, I discover new ones to follow and drool over everyday, and that is so much fun.
Which fashionista or fashion icon inspires you and why?
Maharani Gayatri Devi. She was always stylish and classy while being bold with her choices in life.
One thing you would like to change about yourself?
I would like to throw away all my insecurities.
What are you going to do now?
Slip into my pajamas and have dinner.
Naive, bland, unflavored, uninteresting, nonliterary, lack of texture and flow...at times I go on and on trying to find words for my writing style. Yes, I am severely dissatisfied with words that come out of the movements on my keyboard.
There is this girl I know who writes beautiful. At times I do see flaws waving hands from her writing, flaws that are so interesting that instead of making the reader angry, take him or her to a world of brilliant stories.
But right now, at this very moment I am angry at the lack of words and it fills my head with despair and hopelessness. An then I wonder what would that girl do in moments like these? Would she have moments like these in the first place?
I want to access all areas of my head and heart to find something I can be proud of. All areas that are yet untouched and untrodden, waiting to be accessed, decoded and transformed into something great.
Thanks a lot for reading about a war you had nothing to do with. Thanks a lot for visiting my blog. Dear readers, I want to do better.

The other day I was talking to a friend about how we have stopped being the happy, eccentric, crazy us. How we have lost the big comedies of our lives to its small tragedies. And we have been doing so for really long without even realizing it at all.
It seems to be a collective phenomena. What else can explain why no one points this to us, except for the fact that over time, most of us start behaving the same? Our experiences in life seem to be some sort of an effective energy drink that works in reverse. We look calm, we behave perfect. But we act less with every passing day.
I know this has been said many times before. But happiness does lie in small things. Life is a lot about being excited about things, small, smaller, smallest. It is of utmost important to be crazy about something in life.
Sharing some pictures. Just the small things. The bougainvillea in my balcony that makes really pretty mornings. Dark chocolates to make the nights less darker! Old gifts to be cherished. A Saturday evening. Being featured in Cosmopolitan magazine.
