1 year, 1 day "to all those lost souls who have forgotten to believe in the immensity of love"

Wearing: Ottomode military jacket, YourEyesLie union jack top, Senso booties via Solestruck, Forever 21 necklace, Boyy fringed bag. 
On Naina: Vintage lace shirt, Forever 21 necklace, vintage ring, Nine West suede booties. 
On Rohini: Motel dress, Topshop leather vest, Aldo wedges.
On Malavika: army supply combat boots, ASOS jeggings, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.  

Its been 1 year and a day since this when we took these photographs last year on my birthday. I turned 17 yesterday and it was pretty great (I'm not sure why I'm posting pictures from last year's birthday either). Its weird, a thought passed through my head yesterday: 'next year, we should come back here' till I realized that next year, we may all be scattered in different countries. Heck, continents at that. Its an odd feeling, when you realize that in a handful of short, fleeting months you'll be thrust into a whole new life and your old life will sort of dissipate. Where do you belong? Here or there? Everywhere?

treading in shallow water

I've effectively abducted this skirt from Naina.

Wearing: MINK PINK soft blazer c/o MarketHQ, Calista scalloped silk tank,  Zara chiffon skirt stolen from Naina, STEVE MADDEN Grettta platforms, The 2081 bag by Pietro Alessandro c/o Lori's Shoes, Forever 21 necklace.  

This Pietro Alessandro bag is the perfect fold - over. Its buttery Italian leather with great quality hardware and its basically extremely utilitarian.

I love a slouchy blazer that doesn't drown your body and this soft linen Mink Pink blazer with a whimsical floral print does just that.

Steve Madden finally opened its doors in Delhi a month or so back at DLF Promenade (although I was unfortunately not able to make it to the launch because I had my mid terms destroying my life at the time) and so I obviously had to get my hands on these ankle strap platform shoes, the Gretttas. No joke, they are one of THE most ridiculously comfortable heels I have ever owned (the only other close contender are the Jessica Simpson Danys and those are too high to wear casually). Seriously, you feel like you're walking on air in these. The fact they're adorable to look at is an obvious plus point.

In fact, the Steve Madden store in Delhi (much like the Zara store) has a fairly kickass collection. I was especially obsessed with a pair of cerulean suede block heeled pumps and these incredible leopard print ponyhair ankle boots. Swoon.

LACOSTE BLOGGER PREVIEW A/W 12'

This post is awfully late - the event was nearly a month ago but I've been swamped with all sorts of college application/school/writing projects related things. Anyhow, I went to a fun Fall Preview arranged by Lacoste for a couple of Delhi bloggers a while back where I chilled with Santu, Lesly, Imsu, Surabhi & Naina. There was a dinner after but Naina, Mali & I headed to Flavors for some pasta instead. 

Lesley was wearing this fantastic Zara leopard print belt and F21 necklace. Naina in the picture above this one of Lesly's was wearing vintage and F21 rings - I'm crazy obsessed with that gigantic cerulean rock.

I wore these strappy Report Signature ponyhair spiked heels which I love because despite the significant heel, they're fairly comfortable and don't relegate you to the corner of the room, where you sit the rest of the night, reduced to tears and clutching your feet in pain.

I wore some sparkly Chanel Ebloui eyeshadow which is much lighter than the pigment looks in the case. But its smooth to put on, so I'm good.


So good.




Lots of warm wool jackets with a structured yet not stuffy silhouette and colorful (it is Lacoste after all), brightly hued leggings, paperbag pants and tote bags. My favorite pieces were this polka dotted red jumper and the pleated black silk skirt.

I wore a sequined dull gold top with a slouchy black linen blazer that involves flat lapels, outer facing pockets and all sorts of other awesome contraptions. Naina wore my leopard Zara blazer, a black bodycon skirt from ASOS and shoes from Durban.
