But, where is it going?

I have always liked everything different. Or some would say unconventional. It wasn’t a a way to rebel but perhaps a way to experiment & figure out what I actually liked & later down the path what I wanted to pursue. Some of my life choices haven’t led me down the yellow brick road of…
Time for a change

My first exposure to blogging, specifically to fashion blogging was around ’09, when I was spending extensive hours scouring the inner-webs, which little did I know would become a lifestyle & to an extent a source of income. I was deeply enthralled with the five ways I could style cow-print, calf length boots & discovering…
Can we chill for a minute?

Between the fashion industry churning out 52 “micro-seasons” per year and fast fashion mass producing garments before they even make an appearance on KKW’s Instagram, consumers are buying more, as quickly as possible. For the minute, I’ve moved to the slow lane, trying to re-build my over flowing wardrobe with more unique pieces rather than…
A Love Letter

Growing up I loathed Indian clothes. I found them uncomfortable & would always roll my eyes back into my head each time Ma would forcefully slip a slightly oversize kurta top over my torso.

Black crop tops on their own or paired with anything from belted cord flare pants to an opaque floral lehenga, are an essential piece for anyone looking for versatile crop top or building a wardrobe. I can name, from the top of…
But, was the food good?

Before jumping on my fifteen hour flight to Kathmandu, I didn’t really expect to go on a semi-cullinary journey & eating half my body weight in momos, however, my taste buds went on a flavourful journey… OR2K: When I was still planning my trip, I read a few blogs & watched a few Youtube videos…
But, is it worth it?

As I reflect back on the year that had went by, one aspect of my life that was a constant struggle was my skin. During high school I did take prescribed antibiotics but around the age of twenty four, pimples were back for a party. After trying every haldi mask connotation, drinking 2L+ of h20…
But, is it old now?

Denim cut off + thigh high boots + crop tops + oversize fits x lack of motivation = Jacket – General Pants & Co Crop & cut offs – Bardot Hat – Universal Store Boots – Public Desire -A
