Time-Machine

 Time moves in one direction, memory in another.
-William Gibson


Time, enough said!!! One thing that we could never build a remote control for, it keeps moving even when we lay still, even when we close our eyes, even when we have no will. 

It's a no-brainer that my inspiration today is time, our past, present and future. Time pieces keep me constantly reminded of the time slipping off my hand, and quite ironically take me back and forth at the same time. I see a part of my past with the memories attached and present when I see the actual time on it. I have collected a few quirky time pieces and thought of putting few of them together, I only needed an outfit idea now.   

The Mercury level is at it's peak in Delhi, so, I needed to style something that instantly soothes my senses down. Blue being the closest thing one can get to a water body in Delhi, was my obvious choice. White and Red just played along.t. I am fan of Jersey Tees and have stocked on as many as I could get my hands on. If you too lust after jersey Tees as much as I do, then this cropped one is just to die for. Not one to shy away from flaunting the midriff? Got one? show some. My sporty side got paired with the tease in me with a high waisted palazzo pants. Strappy white sandals, red waist-belt and my favourite red studded sling bag did what they do best, stand out. 

Time pieces, old, vintage or brand new, can never out-run each other, even if they wanted to and will take the exact same circle with the exact same speed every second, every minute, every hour,  every day. Here's wishing that we all could reflect the same in our lives too, instead of trying to outrun each other, lets do what we do best with the same passion and intensity everyday.  

Time is running out, stop beating yourself up and make most of it while you can. So, when you're happy, flaunt it; when you love, mean it; when you believe, show it; when you promise, keep it; when you laugh, record it;  when you cook, burn it; when you smile, selfie it; when you're sad; mourn it;when you  fall, learn from it.

Summer-time madness!!

As a kid, summers meant more playtime, more sunshine, more ice-cream, more fruits, more flowers and obvioulsy more happiness. Now it's a synonym of a season of multiple application of sunblocking creams, all thanks to a free treat of penetrating hot UV rays. I am constantly worried that I'll get evaporated the moment I step out in the sun. However, the kid in me still looks forward to summers, who would miss a chance to put the sun to shame in drool worthy summer prints, I know I won't.

I am a master of DIYs and my mum is my partner in crime. So, now you know who to turn to, if my DIYs are all over the place. She runs a boutique and whenever she finds a cute print, she'll try and save a piece for me if not the entire thing. All thanks to my tiny frame, irrespective of the length of the material she is left with, it always proves big enough for a new wardrobe staple for me. 

Survival instincts kick in on hot summer afternoons with floral prints. This one is more than perfect to liven up any dull afternoon and that's exactly my plan too. So, here is a new summer cotton dress that I would be living out of for most of my summer afternoons from here on.

Boho we are!!!

Flow like a river, No forcing and no holding back!! 

Who are we? We hold back so much when we act sober, saner and smarter. The very attempt to become a social fit makes us contain our true selves. Being a lil wierd, a lil stubborn, a lil aggressive, a lil out of place or a lil social misfit is fine by me. 

Boho means freedom to me, becoming Who we really Are. It gives me a perfect excuse to go overboard and not feel guilty for it. My favorite part about dressing up is that I make my own rules and break them too at my own will. My styles can't be contained and they are as free as my true self. So, here's a modern take on bohemian style. 

Don't hold back and go all the way. Celebrate life being free and being true. 

Cheers to fashion and life!!

Nautical Sunshine!!

Our lazy weekends are still as much lazy and we really need someone to take the charge, however, I have my own coping mechanisms for the time being. Nothing beats a mug full of coffee and a bright sun when it comes to instant energizers and I swear by them. But, today they were just starters, main course was yet to be laid out, a bright look that shines as bright as the sunlight and as energetic as the coffee itself.

Yellow is psychologically the happiest color in the color spectrum, full of energy and positivity. Stripes too can instantly and almost magically turn anything dull into a oh-so-hot one. So, added a bit of sunshine with yellow culottes to the naughtiness of Nautical stripes crop top. Another pop of color was added through pumps with side satin bow details and a matching lip color. Well, I am in love with this look for so many reasons that I can't even count. It is young, fun and classy, all at the same time.
