If you choose to be happy, no one and nothing in this world can change that. Your happiness has always been and will always be in your hands. Why should I be dependent on anyone for anything? Problems, stress, heart break, anger, disappointment, all these are just a state of mind. I rule my mind and its in my hands in which direction to steer it. When I decide someone else is going to make me happy, I let my happiness be driven by their actions; when I leave it to my success at work, that success (or loss of it) affects it. But ultimately it is you who makes the decision who or what will make you happy. Isn't that funny when it comes to our happiness we become dependent on external factors, when we can choose to be happy all the time? After all happiness is my very nature. It's the first time I've used pictures taken from a phone (old i-Phone). They aren't great but surprisingly usable. Zara Bag , Only Belt , River Island Jeans , Mango Blue Top ,

Oasis Dress , Kurt Geiger Nude Heels My renewed desire to wear the hidden treasures in my wardrobe coninciding with the Valentine's day, which is the time you'll spot the most reds, is just a sheer coincidence. I got this dress from Oasis back in my university days in England and wore it twice, and it has been warming my closet ever since. I absolutely fell in love when I first spotted this polka dotted red dress. It was the perfect whimsical piece to feed my desire for a feminine dress that was so missing in my wardrobe back then. And although it's length was far away from the perfect knee-length I stick to, to elongate my petite figure, I purchased it regardless. Pearl strings, updo hair and a pair of nude heels was the perfect way to complete this look. This look is so deceptively flirty yet refreshingly elegant (I think pearl strings did the trick). Flirty, retro and elegant, all at once. I can't even recognise myself here.  ..............

Finding a gift for a man can be a tough task, the choices are limited and the usuals - box of chocolate, bouquet or a shopping spree do not please him. I am not an expert, but over many SOS gifting ideas for friends, having to help my brothers and guy friends with their shopping, I'd like to believe I've acquired some knowledge (or atleast a broad idea) about what would make as a good gift for men. So for this Valentine's I've made the task easier - smart gift ideas for Valentine's Day to suit all budgets. I've squared down the gifting options into few categories: fashion, gadgets, watches and grooming (includes pampering). I'd update this list time and again to ensure the list is fresh out from the oven. Tink!
