I've always been a big fan of the Little Black Dress. So much so that my mom says, "you've got so many now I can't even remember all of them". Erm...that isn't exactly true mom, but I still love buying them whenever I get a chance. So this little number from Globus was off the rail and in my bag within seconds of spotting it in the Globus sales a couple of years back. True, its never made it to the blog for some reason, but when I wore it to a small family dinner a few days ago, it finally got its spot in the limelight!







Layering necklaces is something I think needs to be done right. This dress is such a great base and since it was a little festive occasion I decided it was the perfect time to add a few gold accents to the look. The gold metal cuff is simply gorgeous and while I got mine off the streets, there are some really great options online too. Links to all of these above. I'm planning to make online links to similar items a regular thing on the blog. Would you guys like that? Tell me in the comments below.

In other news, I've got a giveaway lined up for you guys this week! Yay!! So stay tuned for that. You can also follow me on Facebook to get instant updates on best street bargains. 

If you've read this blog for some time, you probably know I have an instant fascination with everything that has pockets! This dress is old, bought on a whim while meeting friends and it has been a party favorite ever since. I love the muted work around the neck, but most of all, i LOVE the deep pockets! You can't even see them, but boy do they come in handy when you're dancing and need a place to stash your phone.











I wore this dress to a cousin's birthday party a while back and the compliments I got just made the evening that much sweeter (of course the endless supply of cake was more than welcome). Mind you, these pictures are from a couple of weeks ago, when I had some semblance of a life. Currently, just editing and posting on my blog alongwith Uni work makes me wanna curl up in a ball in cry. Oh well, hopefully May will be here soon, and I'll be able to relax just a little bit. (GOD!! Can you please fast forward time for me!)

Do you like using necklaces as belts? I love it when these necklaces double up as different things. Do you do the same? Tell me in the comments!

I love finding new ways to wear old things in my wardrobe. There's something exhilarating about seeing something you always wear, then seeing it in a whole different light. Its almost like getting a new outfit without shopping! Score! Today's outfit is exactly that. Old wardrobe basic, worn in a classic way using a little imagination.







This dress! Are you wondering why you don't know about it? Well, its my mum's skirt. Its black, midi length, and pleated. This could very well be one of my dream skirts. However, thanks to my recent weight loss, it just didn't fit right and so I decided, hey, no reason to get sad, lets turn it into a dress. One belt and a little pleat adjustment later, Hello LBD!!
