Purple!! I have been very excited about this colour since day one! But as they say, things don't always turn out the way they're supposed to. Sometimes, they're even better!! So I didn't wear purple. What I did do is wear a gorgeous navratri outfit with all associated finery!








This entire outfit is courtesy of my favorite and absolutely brilliant aunt. She is a huge Navratri fan before marriage and still owns most of her festive clothing ans accessories.

Oh, and I'm sorry for the extremely sweaty shiny pictures. These were all taken after hours of dancing. All in all, an amazing way to finish an exciting week!

You need to be living under a rock to have missed the Tartan trend. Plaid, tartan, checkerboard, whatever you call it, has been an old favorite of mine. By old, I mean since I was about 3 years old. Unlike the British or Scottish countries where Tartan was a part of the schoolgirl uniform, we never had anything like it, so thankfully I've never felt the need to shy away from it (incase I'm assaulted by (un)fashionable school memories).
Being a Tartan lover in India, especially Mumbai is hard. We simply don't have the weather to sport it the way the westerners do (look at me bifurcating between us and 'them'). So here's my take on sporting the tartan trend in a hot and humid city.








I would like to take a little sidebar and discuss my amazing satchel bag. I bought this with my sister on one of our crazy shopping trips and it has been my go-to weekend bag. I'd probably use it on the weekdays aswell if I figured out how to fit my mahoosive Uni stuff in it. Totally worth the spur of the moment shopping decision.

I have a very weird fashion sense. That's something I've heard quite a bit at Uni lately. I'm not sure how much of that is true. I find to extremely difficult to balance the expectations of Uni dressing with my own personal style. So today's outfit is what I typically wear to Uni. Simple tunic top, jeans, heels. This is one of the rare outfits I wasn't told was not normal. Oh well, normal is overrated, right. Right?

This tunic is a few seasons old Remanika and is a worn a lot on an everyday basis. However, it hasn't made its blog debut till now. I added these fabulous feather earrings to give it a little boho edge. The trousers are shiny and surprisingly thin (a definite plus in the current heat wave).






How do you live with limitations at Uni? Do you have any fall back outfits you tend to sport in cases of (sleep deprived) emergencies? Tell me about them in the comments below or on Twitter or Instagram.

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)

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!

Cool girls wear coral. That's what I seem to be thinking these days. I've got a few coral pieces in my wardrobe, but these trousers are by far my favorite. They've been in my wardrobe for a few years now, and have been worn to death. The hem's a little ruined now, but I still wear them all the time!

Am I the only one who remembers The Addams Family? Remember those slightly creepy yet lovable oddballs that came to make us laugh with their scary ways? I used to watch pretty much all the cartoons on the toon channel back then, and today's outfit makes me think of Mortica Adams, the 'lady' of the family.

This skirt was a hand-me-down from a friend who bought it on a whim and couldn't fit into later. The top is my beach top and this whole outfit was basically an intelligent way to hide my ugly legs (no time to visit the beauty shop you see) and go to the beach for a quick evening stroll.

It seems my waist has forgotten to grow over the last few years. I recently did a wardrobe overhaul (which in my book basically end in tears over all the things I wish I could keep) and found these ancient trousers. They used to be too long for me and quite big around the waist when I was a kid (these were a tantrum buy!) and shocked as you may be to hear this, while the length is a cropped one for me now, the latter still applies!

So of course when I tried them on, found they could be used with a belt, and immediately had to figure out a way to wear them the very next day! I kept it simple with my new black shirt and a couple of cream accessories. Overall, a look that can work again for formal sessions in Uni and at the same time, easily translate to a casual weekend look with different accessories.








Do you have pieces that have been in your wardrobe for so long they're practically vintage? How do you style them? Talk to me in the comments below or send me a tweet! I love hearing from you!
