Chaand Chupa Badal Mein

 At night when the stars light up my room, I sit by myself, talking to the moon.           Tonight is a very special night for me, and it's Kojagiri Pournima (Sharad Pournima as some might say). Ever since a child, year after year, we celebrate this day by sitting in the night flooded with the light of the full moon, drinking milk.  Since moon is supposed to be closest to the earth on this day, the moon rays are said to have curative properties. The vessel containing the sweet is prepared and left in the moonlight to be consumed later.           According to Ayurveda, the `pitta' or acidity aggravates at the end of the monsoon season. This is the reason why cooling foods are recommended to neutralise the pitta and balance it. The consumption of cold milk and rice flakes is supposed to be a good remedy for pitta.           Coming back , I remember my mother would make me sit by the window,...

White Shirt for the Soul : 2

            Obviously saw this one coming didn't you?  I was gonna add these pictures in the previous part but it was a bit too much. As you can see, there are various uses of a white shirt. I wore the shirt with a pink lehenga. It turned out pretty well. Also I wore a saree with the same shirt and I'm in love with it !!! What do you guys think  ?  Saree πŸ’• Follow me on  Instagram ! Bye for now, Anu πŸ’“

Blurry Nights and Flower Whites 🌼

There have been trying times and there have been truely blissful moments in the past. One such moment was the ensemble of my first year at the university. Man, it was both πŸ˜‚. Okay, let me just tell you an experience, honestly, being a fashion lover, I thought it would be so nice to dress up and attend the big night, and without even asking anyone what to wear, I wore a blue dress with white flowers on it, got ready, and dashed downstairs.  But, one of my friends was dressed up sooo casually, I second guessed that maybe I'm going a bit extra and I changed. Ugh, I remember being pissed at my college and the students who weren't extra-dressed. But anyway, I went to the college dressed in a jeans and my favorite brown T-shirt.Later I DID see a couple of students who were kinda dressed like me earlier. I thought, damn I should go home and change because I really wanted to like dress up for the event. I got home, dressed up yet again in that cute dress which made me think that I was...

Rise and Athleisure

               For many of us who see me, whether I'm at college or doing whatever stuff have always seen me in athleisure. I just cannot live without it. Athleisure tops my go-to outfits ALL THE TIME ... and I mean it.  I know this quarantine and the pandemic has taken a toll on most of our lives and I can barely accept the fact that 2021 is only 4 months away. Keeping yourself healthy and working out has definitely been affected (obviously homemade mum's food is not something you can say no to, and also I tend to overeat just because my mom makes the most delicious food πŸ’).  To be honest I did workout in the beginning of the lockdown but I wasn't very consistent. But today being able to wear athleisure, I actually missed working out. Not that I'm crazy about workouts but, just like you feel after a workout ? I literally missed it.   So, I will definitely make sure to workout tomorrow ( obviously only to get into my athl...

White Shirt for the Soul.

          We all know that when the word "Formal" is uttered, we indirectly hear a white crisp shirt. Whether we want to look elegant or not, a white formal shirt does it all. Its effortlessly chic and makes you powerful. Formal is just an another addition to list to the many adjectives a white shirt has.  Take a look below and say I'm wrong.  I like to tuck my shirt in so that it outlines my waist perfectly.  A knot can make a ton of a difference. I wore the shirt with a palazzo or a culottes (3/4th version of palazzo) basically.  Here's another one 😏  Happy styling a white shirt you guys! Tell me how would you style it on Instagram  ! Until then,  Anu πŸ’“

Fabric + Print = Everything

 I cannot emphasize the title more enough. Even if there's a gorgeous dress you dreamt about, but it does NOT feel good enough, its a shame.  Yesterday after a very long time I went out, because it was necessary, and it started raining. For the very first time in this year I was soaked from head to toe in water, other than anxiety. πŸ˜…  Ever since the monsoon has arrived, it's become necessary to wear comfortable clothes, which do not get wet that much. I personally love print but I areally like the fabric of my clothes to be more soft and silky.  The dress I have worn has a very silky touch to it. Its also very stretchy which makes it a perfect dress ro wear in this rainy season. This dress would look beautiful in a leggings as well. There's a gold touch to the dress which stands out the neck line of the dress. This is the reason I had gold and glittery eyes for the make up. I got this dress way back so can't remeber the deets. πŸ˜… I hope you all enjoy the rain withou...

Quarantine Qooking 🍰

I have ALWAYS loved baking as long as I can remember. Baking kind of soothes me, like reading books. When I initially started the process of baking (like about a year ago), man you wouldnt even guess what I was doing in the kitchen. All of my baking outcome was a ridiculous mess. I thought I  wasn't meant to bake AT ALL. But as and when I see the my refrigerator has all the ingredients needed for baking a cake, I just float towards it like a moth to a flame. I know I'm not a good baker, nor do I say I have all the qualities, but I can't unlove baking. I just can't. There are many things in life which we cannot (yet) do, and that does not mean we should stop doing it. There are times where you suck terribly, but you still gotta appreciate that you made an effort for something that you love. Love is not what you make. Love is what you are. If you love cooking,or dancing,or whatever in the world, do it for the sake of love within you.  πŸ’“ I'm still in the initial state...

Lets Fall In Lavender !

 Alright Alright I get it. This corona virus sucks, we can't get out still, and life's pretty miserable as it is with all the stuff going around us in 2020. But lets not talk about that anymore, my little heart can't take it. So lets talk about colours ! Basically I LOVE Lavender, period. I like other colours as well, obviously it depends on my mood but there's just something about Lavender that gets me everytime. So I decided to surround myself with Lavender to lift my spirits !   I wore a lavender jacket because its all I have (meh) and painted my nails lavender and also the eye-liner is lavender.  I hope you have an amazing day ahead and enjoy the photos !

You can bet on net !

Although I'm usually the one to choose comfort over style, sometimes my need for fashion overpowers my need for comfort, especially when I crave to get into a pair of heels !  But today its all about net & comfort ofcourse. Now that we all have been in our pajamas for over like a week, it's time to whip something up and be pretty in black and netted ! For today I wore a black T-shirt which was a bit lengthy so I tied it in a knot with a rubber band (excellent jugaad for defining your waist, mind you) and a casual chic netted skirt with big polka dots.  Even a black cami can do the trick if you ask me. I hope you like the photos ! Follow me on Instagram xoxo,  Anu

20 going on 30

I know, I know. The title should be 13 going on 30 as it was one of my favourite movies when I was younger but hey! I can pass for 13 right ? Well my actions pass so ... meh πŸ˜… . As you know (or maybe not) I turned 20 on 27th June, just a couple of weeks ago. On this day I didn't dress up, didn't even try applying make up for once. I am 'me' and it is extremely gratifying and liberating.     I was thinking we could get to know each other ! Okay, I'll go first.  Here are a couple of things of me :  1. I love chocolates !  2. I'm addicted to books. (Thorough potterhead )  3. I hate dishonesty.  4. I can't live without Masala Dosa and Uttappa.  5. I make mistakes.  I try to be as honest as I am through my blogs and this is my journey so far !  Excited for upcoming adventures πŸ˜‰ Did I mention I like Balloons ? Tell me about you on Instagram ! Until we meet againπŸ’“  xoxo Anu

Jackets to the rescue (Part 2)

Hey guys! Let me just ask you, how are you doing ? Are you well ? I hope you are safe 😊. So talking about the jackets, there are two staple jackets which instantly make a difference to your wadrobe.  The first one is a leather jacket. These jackets are out of vogue, said no one ever. But even so you'd like to see the shape and how the chains are placed and how the jacket fits perfectly.You can pair them with a jeans and a basic T-shirt, or leather on leather etc. Leather jackets give your outfits a bit of a rock inspired edge. For an effortlessly chic look, this jacket is a must.   The second one is a Denim jacket. I simply cannot explain how it feels to wear any denim jacket over a casual look. It's versatile and can be the finishing touch to almost any outfit.There are various ways to wear a denim jacket, like denim on denim, or you can wear this with layering, non-blue denim, denim jacket with a dress,skirts, athleisure etc.  I have worn denim in denim in the fir...

Tshirts and jeans pairings that'll save your day!

                                    Hey guys! This is my first blog post so please bear with me ... and lets get started. As we all know that tshirts and jeans are an essential part of our wardrobe which we use daily or must certainly have as a part of our closet ..so why not style them differently and make your day by turning heads along the road ? For today I paired a stripped back t-shirt with a medium light blue denim jeans which is I guess essentially a part of regular wear ... I love Smokey eyes as this increases the oomph factor. The light pink lips also make the most of this outfit. We can also pair this outfit with white sneakers or the sandals that I have worn ... I love these sandals because they feel so wonderful ! For the second outfit: I have worn  a blue tshirt with a high waist Flare hem jeans with black heels and im in love with this oufit #ootd ...

Red Dress By Magic

 Well, as I write this blog, its raining cats and dogs and I kinda miss summer.  I miss the sun on my skin.  So I thought, why not just create the vibe of it.  This outfit literally screams of summer. Let me tell you why. When I bought this dress, all I could make out of it was a beach. And sun. And tan. The list would go on and on about summer, and I'm not kidding, really. The dress I'm wearing can also be worn as an off shoulder summer-dress which is why it makes this dress perfect to wear.  I added little flowery earrings to go with the dress and some messy hair. I added black strappy sandals to go with the look. Beat that, rain! Ps: I'm sure you must have heard the song red dress. Enjoy the photos ! πŸ’• Do you miss summer too? Tell me on Instagram ! Until we meet again,  Anu
