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.




Do you wear outfits inspired by cartoon characters? Which ones are your favorites? Talk to me about it in the comments below. You can find more ways to contact me here.

Can you believe it? This is my 100th post! I'm so happy I've been this consistent (more so in recent times I'l admit) and even did a little celebration with a bite-sized cupcake(Great bakery on my way home, but more on that later). No pictures of it though, it was too tempting to wait for a picture moment.

So what am I going to show you guys for my 100th blogpost? Well, as we've finally seen the sun come back with a vengeance this week, a nice little summer playsuit! Honestly, everyday I feel like I've sweat about two kilos by the time I reach Uni in the morning! So this is something I can't wait to slip into and dream about on my way back home.

I'm so happy to present this Part Two of my College wear series. When I got really nice reviews for the first one, I knew I wanted more parts. This is yet another simple look that works well in the college environment. My college dressing is quite simple and fuss free since most mornings I'm rushing about trying to pack a lunch, study for the classes in the day and leave home without forgetting all those little things you need to do (like eating breakfast, locking the door....sigh)




Its been less than a week and these trousers make another appearance on my blog. This blouse is a new buy (remember when I gave you a sneak peek here) and has already seen a lot of wear. I kept it simple with a little sling bag (since I only had a couple of classes that day). Add my bracelets and earrings and I'm all set to leave for Uni, In less than 10 minutes!!!! Gotta love outfits like this.

What do you usually wear to college? Talk to me about your everyday style in the comments below or write to me on different platforms you can find in the Contacts section.

Its been 66 years of Independence! India, one of the most vibrant, culturally diverse and beautiful places on earth! Its also my home. Its a bittersweet day today, since a couple of my good friends have left for the States, and I'm feeling a little bereft. At the same time, I'm also extremely proud to have always celebrated Independence day in my own country ever since I was born, surrounded by links to academia.

If you venture onto the streets today, you will probably see people dressed in various shades of white, orange and green (these are the colours of our flag in case you didn't know). I decided to do a little something different this year. I opted for homespun fabrics. Nothing screams Indian to me like Khadi in Khaki, that material and color forever associated with our freedom movement, our leaders and our protectors. My green bag is a little nod to the tricolor.










Is that a bit too much patriotism? Okay, maybe, but atleast for today, I don't care. Here's wishing all my fellow Indians, a very Happy Independence Day!

Love,

So today was the first day of my Masters course. I cannot believe how disappointed I was! Without going into details, let's just say, its not what I expected. At all! Oh, and as my bad luck continued, I fell down while walking back home. Fan-freaking-tastic!

Now when I got home, all I wanted to do was get out of my grimy clothes a cry in a pillow (happiness, where are you?!?) but I'd decided yesterday, I won't look back and let things get me down. Result, me in a, 'be a tough chick' girl look. My old leather mix skirt with my new lace top. (Oh, did I mention I bought myself a couple of blouses as a pick me up? No? More on that later)
