This outfit post was supposed to be at a beach. And it was supposed to be a series of outfit posts. Turns out, beaches don't work as good places to shoot in the mornings. What's with everyone deciding to take a walk or walk a dog or defecate on the beach (yes, you're welcome for that image). So after wandering around possible shoot locations for around an hour, we drove back to my all time favorite, Powai. Yep, seems I'm destined to take pictures with the lake within 100 meters of me.

Of course, once we did reach the garden I was overly excited by the little circles on the ground. I kid you not, circles excite me, so much so that I insisted on standing right in the center to take all the pictures. Erm...lighting wasn't working out (or so I was told) so I had to leave my circle. I do have some rather great ideas about role-playing some circle games here. Okay, maybe not.

Onto the outfit, I wanted to showcase a fun, bright beach outfit. There isn't a beach here, but this outfit is still pretty great for say a weekend drive. A bright orange top and bright pink shorts equal lots of happy colors. The top was a great street find and there are lots of lovely solid color tops out there which I think every girl should own (in atleast 3 different colors). A pair of sunnies and a big tote to carry all my day's supplies, and I'm ready for a day at the erm...beach/garden. Honestly, I could pack a nice lunch in that tote considering how big it is!

Tips to Color Blocking In Summer:

• Summer is all about bright colors, so don't be afraid of mixing colors you wouldn't normally put together.
• If you're afraid you'll look like you dressed for the circus, start small, use colors you're most comfortable with and then work your way to things you find daunting.
• Usually, colors from the same color palette work well when it comes to color blocking. For instance, red and pink actually look great! 
• Don't want to color block using your clothes? Use accessories it add a little color and interesting dimension to the whole outfit. Think bright shoes and a bright bag. 
• As the outfit itself is pretty bold, tone down the accessories. Neutral accessories work well when it comes to color blocked outfits. 
• Finally, remember to have fun with it! If you aren't loving your outfit how will you expect others to like it! 

If you've see the last few posts, you know I've got water on my mind. Today's post is a quick little look into how I dress while I'm rushing to go for a swim at the club. Nothing fancy I know, but I feel its important to show that you don't need to be dressed up all the time. For instance, why wear makeup when its all gonna be washed away in the pool anyway! (Yes, I'm one of those bloggers)

So I've been in a rather bohemian mood lately. Last weekend I went to the beach with my family and while this outfit isn't what I actually wore, it inspired me to dress for a beach day.

My obsession with crop tops seems to grow everyday. Coupled with the rising temperatures, its my two new loves that have taken centre stage.The Palazzo pants have come out with all their pop colors to combat the heat. Thank god for wide leg pants that can let my body breathe! Right?












Classics are the best when you want fuss free dressing. This classic black croptop is so good, I think its practically a wardrobe staple. These simple palazzo pants are just such a pretty color you immediately want to wear them all the time! I kept the look simple so as to keep the focus on the clean lines. I think summers are the best time for minimal dressing. The hat was just a last minute addition to keep my messy hair in check. Overall, something I think I'll be wearing over and over again this summer.

Is the summer heat getting to you? How are you combating the extreme weather? Talk to me in the comments below. I'd love hearing your thoughts!

Hello everyone!!A very Happy Women's day to all my women readers! You know that women run the world, so be proud you're one! And boys, we can do everything you can, and we do it in 6 inch heels! ;)

 Sorry I've been away for a week. I've had the most stressful week with Mid semester exams and crazy submissions. I slept about 10 hours for the last five days! Anyway, on to the happy news! I'm back with a cool Women's day outfit post. I've had the best day today with my dearest friend (you know who you are!) who has been a totally kickass addition to my bunch of friend. I really don't know why we didn't start talking earlier! We had an early dinner at Yoko Sizzlers! (God I love Sizzlers!!) Oh, and I managed to do a little bit of shopping (More on that in the next week).










Today's outfit is actually yesterday's outfit. It was my 'yay!! I'm done with Mid semesters let's go out and have fun outfit'. I really feel like summer is right around the corner, and the legs have come out with a vengeance. It was simply too hot yesterday to wear pants and since I spied this shirt thanks to a minor cupboard landslide, it was meant to be! Keeping it casual (yes, that's what I say when I can't be bothered to think too much...but I was awake for about 15 hours at that point!) I paired it with a striped top, simple flats (my feet still hurt thanks to that sprained ankle) and I was ready to go.

Hope you've had a good week. Are you ready for spring? Tell me in the comments below. I'd love to hear what you've done all week while I was away.
