I know: This departure has been pretty tedious for me too. Sorry for going M.I.A. That constant reminder to myself (I need to update my blog kept piling at the very end of my spectrum). Essays, Jean Cocteau, toiles, library, Jackson's Art, Les Enfant Terrible, deadlines...Holy! My life almost summed up in few nouns? Now, I am so glad this beautiful chaos is somewhat momentarily in halt - It is 7am, a beautiful morning here in Newport. Hello summer 2014! Leo Addeo's songs of Hawaii in the background and as I write this blogpost lying down on my freshly washed sheets; This certainly feels like an achievement!

I am wearing vintage jumpsuit/ Newlook wedges/ MK watch/ Topshop silver bracelet & earrings

Bonne journée !

April

2014-05-05T04:41:00.002-07:00


Little things happening around me! April has most certainly been a swift month in which uni deadlines, London travels, good food and contagious people revolved around me. I am so thankful for everything in life and knowing there is so much positivity to look forward really excites me from within. Last month has been a whirlwind for new changes and acknowledgement. There is so much more I want to learn, many places to visit, many things to see and many hearts to be touched! I am really relly relly rely rely excited ! on that positive note, y'all have a lovely afternoon! I am off to do my toile which is due tomorrow. P.S. Everything you do, do it from within ! people really dig that shit ! Peace y'all xxx

Nature is so inspiring. I am on my way to Wembley and this long drive during this hour is so beautiful. With the perfectly painted sky in front, watching the golden fields as they brush by takes me somewhere else . Somewhere so peaceful. Past few days, the weather has been a complete bliss. Whilst basking under the perfect blue sky, taking few strolls down to my town with a very good friend of mine was amazing. Here, sharing few thrifted items we agreed upon!

Walking down brick lane !

Silver lining

2014-04-01T05:00:00.002-07:00

Rajasthani women , an epitome of beauty. As far as I can remember, I have always wanted to travel across the globe extracting inspirations from the remotest places on earth. Fashion, lifestyle, food, architecture ! u name it. Here, drawing inspiration from one of the most beautiful city in India, Rajasthan. I am absolutely in love with these women who carry themselves so beautifully. I can only imagine the beauty glistening as they dance nonchalantly around the fire in a pure full moon night. So sincere and full of life! My recent purchase instantly takes me back to the forts of Rajasthan. I have been digging a lot of silver jewellery lately, specially silver with a touch of turquoise has to be my ultimate weakness !

Few snippets taken on my cousin's birthday! PISCES RuLES!

This is my recent inverted bob if you guys have not noticed and I absolutely love it. Although the cut itself is quite high maintenance. In order to achieve my everyday look, I let my hair rest overnight in my rollers and voila, the result. As of current, I am really busy with all my uni work. Hence, the late post. Thank you so much all for being so persistent with my posts. <3

I was absolutely awestruck by these editorial only to find out more about this iconic face of Burberry. As Burberry's first ever Indian campaign star, this 18 yr old raw beauty has taken her modelling career by storm. She is breathtakingly beautiful. Neelam Johal, my current girl crush! Absolutely love her.

10:09 am, location : ongoing, 143 to Brent cross

This is my everyday morning when I think about life and my dreams in this one hour long journey. I am a planner. Post it notes and I are best mates for quite a while now:). I like to plan my entire day, sometimes an entire week and execute it as it unfolds. This week, I am at print room almost everyday. If not, I am at uni's basement library. Literally, it has been my second home for the past 2 years! And in midst of all this chaos, I just wanted to say hi and share my love. From now on, I would like you to be part of my life and share you a bit of what I am up to as a messy fashion student.

As of now, I am currently working on prints inspired by the blue marle: The Blue Marble is one of the most spectacular and true to colour photo of the Earth to date, taken on December 7, 1972, by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft. Amazing huh ? I am so excited where all this is going to lead.

Life on the run. My current essential and favourite!
I will see you all next week!

Day 1 LFW, The weather has not quite been in our favour lately. Neither on the first day of LFW, where I strugglingly made it to Eudon Choi's backstage on the dot. And undoubtedly, the A/W14 collection was just beautifully executed. I was in absolutely awe, loved the fine feature, cuts and linear silhouette that is so flattering to uplift one's wardrobe. This particular number which had this devine symmetrical shape elongating the entire hemline, this skirt had a life of its own. Definitely a show stopper! And on that note, I am so excited to announce that I will be updating a videologue of my inspiration, travel, fashion show, interviews and many more. Till then, take care.

Many Thanks to Eudon Choi and the team.

Cutecircuit & NewYork

2014-02-09T14:36:00.000-08:00

These are just a few snippets over the month, little things happening around me. January has been a little restless. I have literally been working against the clock while I intern at Cutecircuit for the past 3 weeks. Yesterday, the entire crew left for New York and I am sending my love & wishes from here. With the month-long season of shows that kicked off in New York yesterday, I am curiously anticipating our show to go live on 12th of February. Good luck Cutecircuit. See you in 3 weeks !

This turtle neck sweater is one my favourite pieces this winter. This one has such a lovely soft ribbed details which is undeniably cute. Plus, a cropped version is just perfect as I can happily pair it up with my favourite high waisted jeans.

London collection Mens was my ultimate remedy to beat those January Blues. It is such an overwhelming feeling to call home as one of the major Fashion capital in the world. And here I am, backstage at Christopher Raeburn's show entirely inspired by an exhibition "Last days of the Arctic" by Ragner Axellson.

Happy Feet

2014-01-08T09:03:00.000-08:00

Just a quick outfit post. Currently in love with my new pair of penny loafers from the boxing day sale. I seriously cannot get enough of this! Burgundy Loafers, Miss Selfridge sweater, American Apparel Strip cross back bra, Primark pink chocker, DKNY boyfriend Jeans.

FURBALL

2014-01-05T06:44:00.000-08:00

This vintage fur coat is by far the most beautiful item in my closet. The tiny intricate details remind me of a vibrant Peacock's feathers. So beautiful! The elasticated wrist lining for that extra warmth and hook & eye fasteners on the front adds a retro feel whenever I'm wearing it. What better way to feel more glamorous in such miserable weather! Thanks Rose for this lovely coat.

INSPIRATION: HIPPIE TRAIL

2014-01-04T16:39:00.000-08:00

And, once someone said " The simple things are also the most extraordinary things and only the wise can see them"

1970s Hippie Trail to Nepal, a true beauty captured on film. Absolutely inspiring! I believe it is the elongated length away from where I was born or simply because I have always longed to see many wonders of the world. I feel absolutely fascinated by these flock of people. A shoestring budget with nothing but polaroid and dairy on the other hand. And what you really get is glimpse of a life time.

Lets travel far away together !
