Unconfined Aspirations

Florals and Beautiful Days.

Top: Lush ($4.99), Skinnies: Maison Jules ($24.99), Shoes: Dolce Vita ($24.99), Watch: Michael Kors ($180), Handbag: Michael Kors ($199.99)

I just have to mention that I practically live in these skinnies, they're the most comfortable pair I've ever owned. They're actually jeggings but since I've always just hated jeggings, I try to address them as skinnies :-). I think I'll go to Macy's and get another pair for when these fade out. As for more blog posts, well there's always camera issues and laziness issues getting in the way.

Jasmine

Black and White. And some Blue.

Top: Soprano ($19.99), Pants: Maison Jules ($25.00), Shoes: Dolce Vita ($24.99), Watch: Michael Kors ($180), Handbag: H&M ($24.99)

As you can tell from Jasmine's face in a lot of the pictures, it was crazy bright - but we didn't have a choice, as Arjoo was going to leave for Paris and London (that's right!) and needed the camera, so we only had that half an hour to take pictures. Pretty impressive, considering... that's right so modest. Anyway love black and white together, it's classic, and right now it's also on trend.

It's kind of hard to believe, but yes this is a new post. Let's let that sink in for a while. A lot has happened since the last few posts - J and I came back from our 6 month stint in Mumbai - which we have such fond memories of, even the bad days were special because it was our first time living by ourselves and we can't wait to go back. We've worked on a movie, did a photo-shoot series with kids for the first time, started an online styling business with Keaton Row - which is a slow start. So, the need to let out our creative juices flowing, finally brought us back to our old blog. A is really busy right now, so J and I are going to try to keep updating because we feel like we're being productive and it also helps us feel inspired, plus it's just so much fun - we forgot that for a while.

These are from last year.

This was a shoot that J (for Jasmine) and I (Sona) did last year. If you sometimes check out our blog you know that we were living in Mumbai these past few months. Well we're back home and just finished working on a movie (!!!!!). So I have a little time to update this poor abandoned baby and while A (Arjoo...I don't know why we were using the initials...I think it was a Gossip Girl phase thing) hasn't gotten a chance to take pictures (college)...I thought why not update with these (our favorite shoot so far). We worked with a great team; Rummy Makmur (Photographer), Inna Mathews (Makeup) and Morgan O. (Model). This photo-shoot was also published in Content (based in San Jose) magazine. ... let's see, these images belong to their respective owners, please don't use them in any manner, blah blah you know the deal... and until next time, no promises as to sooner or later, but you obviously know better.

Once summer comes I am ready to whip out all my adorable short dresses because is there really any need for pants? I think not. This dress is so comfy and breathable! It's perfect for the 90 degrees I'm currently experiencing.

Our new business cards!!

It's practically impossible taking outfit pictures because it's always really crowded and just awkward and half the time we're so sweaty cause of the crazy humid heat...so yeah. It might happen, but probably not anytime soon. So look forward to outfit posts from A. From S and J you get to look at pictures of buildings and food and the beach and of course palm trees. Here's the first installment, of our excursions in Mumbai, being all super touristy and of course got some work done and got the self-designed business cards printed and cut!

P.S. If you haven't already figured this out...this is from my instagram feed...all iPhone photos.

Hey guys!! It's me S...blogging from guess where...MUMBAI!! That's right Mumbai! Although these pictures were taken by me in Tracy, like two months ago...or more. Finally got a chance to post them. Just been really busy with you know moving to another county, that's all, as well as a wedding in Delhi before that.

J and I have moved to a place in Khar West, which is right next to Bandra, we're literally a five-minute walk away from Carter Road and Olive, that really famous restaurant that we haven't gotten a chance to go to yet! There are lot of good things about being in this place, but the past week or so, we've really gotten homesick...let's hope we find the work we want to do ASAP, so we're busy doing what we love. We know it's barely been a month since we moved here, but we already want to be busy working...although exploring the city has it's perks...beach front and amazing-shopping anyone?! Will try to update soon!

That skirt.

noreply@blogger.com (A, J and S) — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:31:00 +0000

Skirt: Forever 21, Stockings: Asos

I realized I have't worn this skirt in a while which is just an atrocity, because I love it oh so much. It's so gold and shiny! It's even cuter when paired with adorable tights. =)

The Chelsea Boots.

noreply@blogger.com (A, J and S) — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 22:34:00 +0000

Dress: Zara, Boots: Asos

Hey guys! Long time no blogging. =)

These boots are the chelsea boots of my dreams! Finally the shoe gods answered my prayers and I got these in my life. They remind me of a pair of Celine chelsea boots I fell in love with, but these are actually in my price range. When I bought this dress, I remember I wanted to wear these boots with it, so I waited until I got these boots to wear this dress. I know I'm weird but it's nice when the outfits you create in your mind actually happen.

San Francisco Love.

noreply@blogger.com (A, J and S) — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 01:31:00 +0000

One of my favorite things about living in San Francisco is being so close to the ocean. I love the ability to just hop on the Muni and get to the pier and act like a tourist. I love to just sit and stare at the ocean; it is so incredibly calming. I, sadly, did not have my camera with me, but I took these photos with my iPhone.

Pretty in Pink...and Black.

I love midi skirts, but they are so hard to find! When I saw this skirt on sale at Urban I purchased it in black and pink! It was a good decision because I wear this skirt often. Isn't the color just darling? =)

The Red Coat.

I was ecstatic to find this coat because I've always wanted a bright red coat, and the cheetah collar makes it thousand times more wonderful.

It's a mirage, an oasis in the desert of no updates. It's a fluke, It just can't be. A post? An outfit post no less. It's not a mirage dear readers, the 7 of you who checked in today. Nothing can bring you together like a mandatory family event! Where schedules and lack of cars are overcome and you have to figure something out. A and I had a family event in Tracy, where we stubbornly took out half an hour to take not one, not two but four new outfit pictures! Because who knows when we'll get the chance again. A's working part-time while going to school - her work requires her to wear a somewhat "semi-formalish" attire, these are some of her new clothing purchases. Also...look at all the pretty leaves!! I just love Fall!

J and I on the other hand are in the middle of some life-changing things and because we're paranoid about jinxes, we'll share with all of you the news once we're in the safe-zone! Until next time!

Quick Update .

noreply@blogger.com (A, J and S) — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 01:59:00 +0000

I finally have my camera!! Sadly, I have not taken any outfit pictures, because I need someone else to do that for me, and I need some free time. I promise I shall try my best, and get on that soon. So till than here are some pictures I took of my room ( it is still a work in progress). Also my beautiful new Zara sweater!!

3. Exploring San Francisco and admiring the beautiful churches.

I sincerely apologize for being so absent from the blog. I've been so wrapped up with school and my new job that I've hardly had the time to blog. I'm getting more used to my schedule now, so I'm going to try and start posting regularly. I actually need to bring my camera to San Francisco to do an outfit post because those are definitely long overdue. I hope these Instagram pictures can suffice for the moment. :-)

SS 2013 RTW.

noreply@blogger.com (A, J and S) — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 18:30:00 +0000

Burberry Prorsum, LFW, SS 2013 RTW

Dries Van Noten, PFW, SS 2013 RTW

All images via wwd.com

There were many collections that I really loved, but so far these are the only two that I ended up making collages for. These two collections are almost antithesis of each other. While the Burberry Prorsum collection to me was decadent, British and ladylike the Dries Van Noten show had this light, easy menswear/womenswear feel. I loved both. I wanted everything from the Dries show for daytime and everything Burberry for when you want to feel a little fancy.
