Mamma mia, ever since I spotted this DVF Tonda clutch (yes yes its a vegetarian bag - no leather, no animal skin), I'd been fixated to have it in my closet. Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) unfortunately does not have a store in India yet, and Kitsch that stocks DVF in Mumbai did not have this green tweed-ish Tonda. I've never ordered a luxury bag online before (spending that much on a bag that you haven't seen in person,, hmmm .. not sure).

However, I thought of giving it another chance and I spotted a grown-up, stately elegance with a twist of cool on peplums with its structured shape almost like architecture, and i

With the summer almost gone and the best of the sale over, I'm already looking forward to my Fall and Winter wardrobe. So officially it's this time of the year, when the upcoming new season brings the excitement of the anticipation of new season shopping. Hours of browsing  through the fashion shows (in-person or online) to check the key trends of the upcoming season and secretly creating a list of the pieces you'd want in your wardrobe, soon (and if the bank balance isn't in your favour, atleast have them on your wishlist).
