Have you been sweating like crazy lately?! I sure have! October heat has arrived! Okay, its more like almost gone, but this past week is when I've really started feeling October. Bringing in heat from all directions, Uni, Home and the very literal sense, its making me wish for cooler 'Autumn/Winter' or what passes as winter in Mumbai.










This outfit is a marriage of practicality and wishful thinking. I wore my fabulous Globus leather skirt (this is so cool, wish they'd bring back more stock) with a simply casual cotton tee. I added a little belt for a more structured look. (Yep, I've lost a little weight which means the skirt almost slips down without a belt!)

What are you wearing to combat the October heat? Are you from cooler climes? What are you wearing there? Talk to me in the comments below. You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 

Blue is a state of mind these days. The academic pressure is getting to me and frankly, I eat, breathe sleep in a state of constant chaos. My dreams (if I could remember them) are interspersed with assignments, graphs and reference books. However, I was determined to wear one of my favorite colors (remember my minor obsession with it) in a way that didn't show how 'blue' I really was.

Its Navratri again!! I can't believe its come back so soon! Time does seem to fly doesn't it? Last year, I celebrated the nine day festival with traditional Indian clothes (read sarees and punjabi dresses) as I was a 'professional' and working. This year, I'm a student again, which means I have the freedom to dress in quirky styles without worrying about working girl outfit rules! Yay!!

The color for the first day was Grey. While I own a lot of grey clothes, I felt it was a bit dull for the first day of a beautifully colorful festival. So I styled my grey skirt with my gorgeous neon top to give it that little pop of color and excitement!

I tend to live in jeans when I'm at Uni. Somehow, those everyday looks don't really end up on my blog. I mean, do you really wanna see me in jeans day after day? Today however, I decided I would share a typical look of mine in one of my favorite tops that has been in my wardrobe for about five years now. And, while I'd love to take credit for a great choice, this one was all mom! She's the one who picked this out for me! Thanks mum!

I'd also like to talk about a little thing that a friend of mine asked me recently.Contrary to what it seems on my blog, No! I don't go around with my hair flying all about the place when I go out. In Uni especially, 9 times out of 10, its up in a messy bun. Since I travel by local trains, I'd probably be bald if I kept it the way I shoot it for the blog. When I take these pictures, I'm home, and when at home I like to keep it open and that's how it ends up on my blog.
