Friendship day is a very big deal in my city. I woke up to lots of texts from various friends wishing me and the day just went on being a typical Sunday from there. Read lazy and relaxed. I did manage to go for a walk with a couple of friends. Thank you weather for not raining on our parade. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures when I was out (well, I forgot my camera, oops!) so the outfit pictures are all at home. (Missing my best friend for a zillion reasons here)

Monsoons have been proclaiming their arrival for quite some time now. And not to mention the heat in the off time between intermittent showers. While its all good to be a cool fashionista and wear smart clothes such as mini skirts (like I did here) and maxis made of quick drying fabrics (see mine here) or maybe just a simple dress(the way I usually do here and here), I can't help but think of all those girls who are uncomfortable with anything that's built like a skirt. What do you do in this case? Why shorts of course! This is my take on how summer/monsoon dressing doesn't need to be very difficult and doesn't even require a lot of shopping if you have basics!








 I've got very few shorts (mainly because mom keeps rejecting the ones I get saying they're too short!) but these are those rare ones that have passed inspection. Also, they have an amazing amount of detailing on them that I love! All in all, a simple everyday look. You could replicate this look with absolutely any combination of shorts and tees in your closet with ease. Simple basics just need a good accessory to make you stand out, imho. So what are you waiting for? Grab those shorts and brave the rains in style!

I have been leaning towards blue a lot lately. I seem to add atleast one piece of "blue" to my daily outfit to feel complete. On the other hand, mint is something I've been lusting after. I desperately want a few pieces in mint for my wardrobe. Especially after seeing the fabulous Jessica Quirk of What I Wore rocking it in various forms of minty goodness. But since the rains have been hampering me from venturing out onto the streets to hunt for mint, I've been shopping my wardrobe to satiate my mint needs. Result is this little jacket I found at the back of my closet, just screaming for a little love.

Shivan and Narresh are the only Indian designers who design swimwear. They cater to the high flying glitterati who frequent the various gossip pages of media. They're designers are swimwear for people who won't actually be swimming. Think on a yacht or the Hamptons! That being said, their collection still packs a punch! Also, it wasn't all swimsuits and bare midriffs here. There were some truly pretty dresses as well.
Here, have a look for yourself to decide.
