If the ubiquity of peplum might got you thinking that it is old season, you ought to think again. The late forties and fifties favourite peplum that the mighty Christian Dior introduced to the fashion world took this summer by rage with Peplum here, Peplum there and peplum everywhere. But they're not over yet, its here to stay for even Autumn and Winter.

Was all ready and excited because I was about to delve into cupcakes from Cakeitaway - a treat to myself after a long suppression from anything sweet. Always a delightful way to start your day!!!! Forever 21 Jeans ; Rossana Blouse c/o Missguided ; Barrats Heels ; Charles and Keith Bag ; Rare cropped Jacket Getting a taste of good cupcakes is not hard with the recent cupcake frenzy that is catching up in Mumbai, but for a vegetarian like me it becomes almost impossible to find a decent vegetarian place for good ones. With a big sweet tooth that I have, the moment I read the words 'vegetarian' and 'cake' in one line, I go completely dizzy until I have had a taste of it. So here I was reading about  Cakeitaway cupcakes, a recent startup by 25 years old Natali, on BPB  and the cupcakes jumped out at me calling 'SJ, SJ, look at me, I am a delicious piece of petite cake topped with frothy swirls of icing and demure garnishes of berries.
