Chiconomical

So its been about ten days of madness and I haven't been able to do anything other than think and breathe medicines and hospitals. This little outfit is what I wore last week when my mom was in the hospital and I was busy running errands. Denim is the easiest thing to wear when you don't know your work hours, and when its a denim overall, its totally awesome. Read, no need to look for a matching top!! Sold!!

I also think this is a cool way to welcome autumn, okay...erm...its still raining here so technically, its still summer/monsoon down here, but, a girl can hope right? I paired this with a simple crop top and heels. Although I have to be honest, these had come off in a couple of hours and were replaced by my trusty kicks.

Currently, I'm bedridden, trying to study for my tests and not faint at the same time! However, this little mail that dropped in my Inbox made me smile. Guess I'm doing something right, Right?!

Today's post is all about how much loving I've received in the last week. I've had a very very good weekend (something that hasn't happened in a long time) and because its good to share happy thoughts, I figured I'd let you in on how my weekend went.

First off, my aunt flew back from the UK after 6 months away! Obviously I went to receive her at the airport and we spent a better part of the weekend catching up! She came back with so many goodies I can't wait to share all my new beauties with you!

Next, one of my favorite bloggers, Martyne Hillman, the fabulous lady behind, Going the Extra Style, sent me a few accessories alongwith my aunt, and let.me.tell.you, Christmas has come early! I was so humbled and touched by her gesture, I'm at a loss for words! You've got great taste, Martyne! xx

And lastly, a first of firsts. A very good friend of mine, got me a truly unexpected present. I got a handbag as a present, from my friend's first earnings (yes, we students tend to celebrate these little things while stuck in the grind that is PostGraduation) and well....its red! Needless to say, I'm getting starry eyed looking at it! Stay tuned to see it (practically all the time) on the blog!

Oh, and while this is a little out of the context of gifts, my mum made the most amazing home-cooked meal on Sunday, and that just added the cherry to my cake (literally!). All in all, I feel absolutely blessed, loved and honored to have such amazing people in my life!

Thank you so much everyone! One of the nicest weekends in recent times!

I seem to be on a vintage dressing kick lately. Almost every outfit these days tends to have atleast one vintage (read stolen from mum's or aunt's wardrobe) piece in it. Its no surprise then, that I've pulled out a very old dress of mine to re-invent. No, not really a DIY since I spend about 6-7 hrs at home these days(of which for about 5 I'm a dead asleep) and the rest at Uni. (Also the reason why the blog fails to be updated frequently these days).









This is my 'I work on the farm picking cherries and strawberries' look. Well, atleast in my head, that's the version of reality I'm living in. Even if what I'm actually doing is extremely tedious thesis research and drinking packaged berry juice. Everytime I look down though, I feel a little country, and that makes sitting at my work station bearable.

Some outfits don't require a lot of thinking. A simple outfit with a combination of lace and bright cropped trousers is the best way to tackle the current weather(please stop PMS-ing). Add a jacket if the weather gets chilly (how I wish this would happen) or face the rains bravely with your cropped trouser length. Adding a pair of heels makes it a bit more feminine and classy.

You can never go wrong with a little black dress...A little black dress will always be your friend. This surprisingly applies to all forms that a 'dress' can take. Even the Indian version of 'dress' aka, the Punjabi dress. I love how vibrant this dress looks when I wear it. Its such a beautiful marriage of prints and fit that everytime I wear it, it makes my heart sing.






This was originally my mum's dress, which I altered to fit me. I love the gorgeous dupatta that goes with it and how it doesn't need a lot of work to stand out. The block print makes it unique and while every other girl in the city is in a Punjabi dress, I feel its how you wear your dress that makes you stand out, even if your wearing the same print. (Although it does help, that this particular one is quite unique)

Today's outfit post is a Throwback to simpler times in my life. If that's not your cup of tea, I guess you could skip reading and go straight to the pictures. (Wait, you don't already do that do you?)

If I could turn back time, I would be listening to a little group called Aqua (does anyone remember them?) and the title is a reference to their song.

If I could turn back time, I'd be swimming with my mom on lazy afternoons, pushing and kicking to win in races with her in the pool.

If I could turn back time, you'd probably still find me in this two piece that I bought in order to look a little different, but never wore for its intended event.

I haven't really grown at all in many ways have I? I still think ice-cream is a perfectly sensible breakfast choice, I'm still very possessive about my books and hoard them like there's no tomorrow, I still swim every free chance I get, I act on impulse and get annoyed at the drop of a hat.... and I still wear the same clothes!!

Your Mom's closet is a great place to shop in when your wondering what to wear. My mom's closet is full of amazing western outfits, most of them gifted by dad to her, since he's a big fan of western dressing. Of course I picked out a knee length skirt, of course its blue, I mean, that's quite obvious considering its been a running theme this week, right? Right?? (I agree I'm obsessed and need to start facing it!) In case you can't seem to understand what I'm talking about, you can read my last post here.

Is there something called color addiction anonymous? Coz I feel I need color rehab! I've been wearing a lot of Blue lately (like you didn't notice!) and seriously need to start focusing on other colors. Somehow, I seem to be wearing exactly what my mood seems to be these days. Today's outfit was just another blue day. (A few other 'blue' outfits can be seen here, here and here)

In case you don't read my blog (why not?) you know that I've been having shoe problems lately (read the post here) and so this whole outfit was mainly based on comfort. The fact that I rather liked it in the end is an added bonus! The leggings I'm wearing are true blue vintage! They used to be my mum's and have been in her closet for a good 26 years now! Still, pretty brilliant no?

I've been having shoe problems! If  you follow me on twitter, you probably know how much of my time is spent at Uni running around doing a lot of running around. I did buy a new pair of jelly flats last month when my old ones had a rather unfortunate accident, but they turned out to be a size too small for me, causing me to have painful blisters. Not gonna be wearing them anymore. (In case you wanna buy mine, drop me a line here and we can talk details, I promise they're in great condition and have been worn about 5 times)



So coming back to my week, I've been worrying about the rains and have worn absolutely everything from beach thongs to boots to jelly flats to Uni, and my feet have almost given up. I could have worn my regular trainers, yes, but those were in dire need of serious cleaning, which I was too lazy to do. So finally, after a rather painful blister today , I decided to go buy a new shoes. Simple, black, ballet flats that will (I hope) go with everything, and not eat my feet for a snack.

Since I couldn't visit Bandra (my go to for shoes) I had to compromise and get a pair from my neighbourhood. This little shop had a surprisingly current collection of shoes and bags. Its called Sartin and its in Moksh Plaza, Borivali, worth a little look if your in the neighbourhood. Here's a look at my new flats!
