Weekend fun

Hello lovelies
so on Saturday i went to dharavi to watch an installation put up by artists from new york inspired by the people of dharavi. It was just about okay as it lacked the connection you need to make. But dharavi was intriguing as always. I wore my new purple chunni and churidaar with my trust old black kurta.
On sunday, i went for a bandra tree walk with my friend gitanjali at 8 am!! dressed in my zara pants and tee with my pretty ballerinas and matching bag. it was fun! now back to work :)

chunni and churidaar from vintage eart in lokhandwala, bag from mango, shoes from veromoda, kurta from fab india

bag from shop near andheri station!

shoes and bag from lokhandwala, rest from zara

also, check out gitanjali's bag...between her cat and my rabbit, we had almost the cast of alice in wonderland on location!

A little bit of skin goes a long way

this top i bought at a great sale at vero moda and it made perfect sense to wear it for our meeting with the sula guys. It's formal but also so pretty!

All set for Dhobi Ghat

dress from vero moda (they have a great sale...got this for only 700, shoes from gossip, bag from mango

star earrings from kazo

So i went to watch Dhobi ghat in this dress that i feel will be great for all curvy woman. It gives us a waist and hides the flaws, don't you think. Great slimming shape for everyone. As for the movie, Prateik rocked for his innocent portrayal, monica for her natural feel, and just everything about dhobi ghat was so subdued and calm that it was a treat to watch. Go and watch it guys

The "intellectual" look!

Alice wandering and Indian summer have a cool chat

Look at me trying to pose. Dress from Sabbah Sharma worn as top, shoes from Tres Mode, bag from Baggit, specs from Causeway

Fellow blogger and friend Dhruvi Shah looks casual and so girl next door. Love it

Fahion student Rea Burman and Arts student Priyanka Bajaria do bohemian with great style

Ankita paul looks smashing in a simple yet tres chic outfit

So Dhruvi of Alice Wandering and I caught up over green tea and iced milk to discuss some business and a lot of fun. We talked about everything else under the sun too, took each others's pictures and also managed to capture some fashionable chicas. It was fun Friday afternoon.

dressed for a read meet!

So i went to caferati's read meet, armed sheepishly with a short story. I thought i should look pretty as well, maybe some votes will swing my way ;)...so i decided to be casual yet slightly dressy. Hence the shredded sleep top that i bought at a sale for just Rs 300 again. It's perfect for curvy women like me because it takes away focus from my love handles...or does it. I really think it does :). paired with a dark pair of jeans that slims me down and a necklace i have fallen in love with, and my brand new ballerinas...i think it works well. Hwat do you think, my gorgeous friends!
points to be noted:
1. DARK jeans work well with rounded figures. They make your butt look sexy and yet toned down.
2. Tops with embellishments at the right places take focus away from problem areas!

Three casual looks

The black lace skirt was a steal for just 300 bucks ladies, and paired with a promod top and catwalk shoes, it looks super classy. The dress i bought at the fab Promod sale for just 700 bucks. You guys have to go now. There are two looks i have tried with the dress, just covering up a bit when i needed to go on the train! As i said before, i can take you guys for some cheap chic shopping, just give me a hollar.

when i go out to work, i don't wanne be bothered with anything i wear. So jeans are my favourite bet, and especially right now that the weather in Mumbai permits that i wear them without sweating silly. So jeans, a bejewelled tee, my adorable zara waistcoat and a cloth bag...with my pink ballerinas adding the zingy colour. and yes, my classic aviators as always....
