It was Valentine's day yesterday. While I wasn't exactly out and about, I did go for dinner with the family. In my opinion, Valentine's day is a just an excuse to celebrate with the people you love. Of course, the presence of good food is always a major check mark in my book!

I wore really casual clothes to Uni during the day, since it started raining just when I was about to leave, but dressed up a little for the evening. I knew ages ago that I wanted to wear my Ahai Lipstick Print Shirt on Valentine's day! It gives off the perfect valentine's day vibe without being the obvious, hearts and roses print that invariably takes over the world on this day.









I paired my printed shirt with these plaid shorts and a pair of flats. I managed to give myself a few shoe-bites as I was breaking in new shoes during the day, so I stuck to my well-worn sandals for the evening. Since I haven't yet found my shade of 'red' for a seductive pout, I kept my makeup simple, meaning, what I do everyday. Lol, I really am useless when it comes to that right? Somebody, please give me a crash course!!

How did you celebrate Valentine's day? Did you go out on dates with your partners? Or were you celebrating with the family, like I did? Tell me in the comments below! I'd love to hear from you!

You need to be living under a rock to have missed the Tartan trend. Plaid, tartan, checkerboard, whatever you call it, has been an old favorite of mine. By old, I mean since I was about 3 years old. Unlike the British or Scottish countries where Tartan was a part of the schoolgirl uniform, we never had anything like it, so thankfully I've never felt the need to shy away from it (incase I'm assaulted by (un)fashionable school memories).
Being a Tartan lover in India, especially Mumbai is hard. We simply don't have the weather to sport it the way the westerners do (look at me bifurcating between us and 'them'). So here's my take on sporting the tartan trend in a hot and humid city.








I would like to take a little sidebar and discuss my amazing satchel bag. I bought this with my sister on one of our crazy shopping trips and it has been my go-to weekend bag. I'd probably use it on the weekdays aswell if I figured out how to fit my mahoosive Uni stuff in it. Totally worth the spur of the moment shopping decision.
