‘Well you just look like you just won the Tour De France, cycling around town’ – Kourtney Kardashian After all this time cycling shorts are still the rage, as much as I did despise cycling shorts, I couldn’t help but give em a whirl. Paired with a black lace bodysuit & layered with a neon…
But, would you watch it again?

I’ve recently started to re-watch/binge Sex & The City and the fashion, relationships, friendships & sex is still inadvertently relatable, relevant and arguably realistic. Obviously, Carrie being a freelance writer in NYC, living in supposedly a rent-controlled studio apartment & still being able to strut around in Manolo’s, hailing cabs is not really a reality…
But, they’re just shoes?

I’m not to sure why or how I decided to buy my very first pair of Vans, but as soon as a slipped these babies on, I knew it was going to be a life time love affair. I bought my first pair of white Authentic Lo Pro Vans in 2015 & I still remember…
But, how can you stand out?

There is nothing more sexier than being wrapped up in nine yards of intricacy and history. The saree is the epitome femininity & in my opinion brings out the essence of a woman. Worn from the beginning of time, the sari has evolved with current trends and every year talented designers introduce new fabrics, drapes,…
But, can we go to the beach?

I honestly cannot resist beach & swimwear, despite the fact that I haven’t dipped a toe in salt water since 2014, I have a soft sport for itty bitty bikinis, flare sleeved mini dresses, good ol’ cut offs & the ocean. The ocean has such an intense vibe & energy, it’s exhilerating. I’m always on…
but, why?

I feel as if there has been a certain humdrum with blog lately and I’ve been extremely unmotivated to put words to website. I’m not sure what the reasoning behind my lack of creativity could be (FYI mercury was in retrograde), but I’m certainly feeling a shift in energy with my outfits lately. It is…
But, do I need to do it?

Being a freelancer, a question I often get asked is how I stay motivated to tick off tasks from to-do list, all while working in my Harry Potter pj’s! To be honest, the first few months I was extremely motivated & would smash out tasks in the morning. After a while, I was waking up late,…
But, where can i find it?

Living across the ocean can make it super hard to get my hands on delicious Indian labels, that I swoon over on Instagram. A few labels are nice enough to make an exception, however, shipping charges can cost you your kidney & first born child! Below are a few of my favourite websites, that are…
But, how do you feel?

A few weeks ago a friend/photographer/beautiful soul suggested we do a photoshoot at Carriageworks where they have commissioned a large-scale work by renowned German artist Katharina Grosse. Using over 8,000 square metres of fabric. Grosse draped, knotted, then created a multilayered painting on the surfaces and folds of the fabric, resulting in a out-of-your-mind experience.…
But, will they ever go out of style?

I am a strong believer in the long-time phenomena that is the T-SHIRT. One can honestly not have enough & I declare the mighty tee a wardrobe eee-ssential. I can safely say I wear a t-shirt pretty much every day. At the gym, to work, to bed, on a date & sometimes I only just wear…
