Quattro, Mumbai The wall I was sitting adjacent to, love it Torta Formaggio  (Spiced cheese cups filled with cheese mousse with grilled asparagus, olive and cherry tomatoes) An interesting Baked Spaghetti That's what you call a good presentation and a delectable Risotto (clicked it from my phone) Cheesecake (except me everyone else liked it) (another phone click) Tres Leches (Mexican Dessert) - tasted like heaven Oh yes it is a fashion blog, yet you find food peering-in every now and then, causing ripples of confusion - WHAT IS FOOD DOING HERE? I wouldn't call myself a foodie {I like food, but I am not one of those who'd dream chocolate mousses or paneer tikka in the night}. However finding a tasteful (tasteful in the sense of fashion and not taste) vegetarian restaurant is just as hard as putting together a tasteful look. So for the benefit of the society at large, it's pivotal to steer away the fashion route for the momen

A couple of weeks ago I unexpectedly landed on shopbop.com (I've seen their online store a couple of times earlier) and thought I'd dish up a bit for some window shopping and the seemingly harmless browsing ended up in an indulgence (towards the end of the month when the bank balance was already not hitting the right notes). Marie Claire  Spain Now before you start raising your brow, in my defense I am really bored of my wardrobe and it needs some serious overhaul. So when I spotted this  Tibi  emerald green top with (what looked like) subtle bling and unstructured cut, it suddenly became a 'must buy'. I mean how could it not? Besides while browsing online I came across this spread (of Olivia above) and it inspired me into buying the emerald green bling. Since I was already buying something, I had to buy a basic tee (seriously I barely have them, I always loathed tee but lately a sudden discovery of their practicality compelled me to reconsider

Intriguing snippet of how the paper is made from cotton waste in Daulatabad   One afternoon while passing through the Dalal Street, after an official meeting, a store caught my attention and my curious self followed my instinct and opened the door of store that called itself Bombay Paperie. What I first discovered was beautiful colourful papers neatly stacked in piles and piles across a huge store and I immediately  hopped in to check it out. Besides, a cheery colourful store bang opposite the hustle and bustle of Bombay Stock Exchange definitely made it all the more interesting. A few minutes into the store and I was completely glued by the sheer beauty of the papers and more importantly its history. The paper at Paperie not any ordinary paper, its history dates back to the time of Emperor Jehangir. All the paper in the store is handmade and made 'not from trees' but cotton waste. The pictures displayed in the store giving

When I first discovered Maje online I was completely smitten by their clothes. Almost everything was a drool worthy piece, and I wanted it all. But luck has it, I never found Maje in-person to any of my shopping trips and I didn't want to buy it online (dont know for some weird reason I myself am not yet aware of). But during my last holiday in Europe, I bumped into Maje and was super duper delighted (yes the kind of delighted that makes you jump with joy and forget everything around you). The clothes were beautiful, simple with elegant cuts. Their blouses and shirts were instant love. Unfortunately for me, almost everything was either leather or silk (my vegetarian self didn't allow me to buy either), but among all the silk I found this beautiful top which was just as easily pretty and perfect and I couldn't be happier with this buy. Perfect Spain souvenir!!

Zara Blazer and Blouse, H&M Pants, Only Belt, Butter Nail Paint Macbeth More colours? Spring is arriving and with Festival of Colours knocking the door tomorrow I just had to get some colours out of the closet. Now I've been talking, rambling and obsessing over colours since forever now. I've become kind of fascinated by how much can you play around with colours. Colours - conspicuous, multifarious, fun. From the monochromatic palettes to colour blocking to the colour overdose with prints, just let your imagination run. Here's an indulgence in colour blocking - trying shades of blue with the blazer and pants (going light to dark) wore merely to be broken by a dash of pink blouse, folded green cuffs and tan belt. The colour cheat continues with red nails (making me feel glam). I am thinking chic with a twist of cool. I was amazed at how I could pull of so many colours in the office dismissing the murmuring and frequent glares (conceited enough to bel

Talking of shoes, the shoe obsession never seems to cease. Don't know what is it about shoes that keeps me obsessed by it (I am speaking on behalf of womanhood here, and those of you who are "unmoved by shoes", you really are the "blessed souls"). Just found this picture in my photoalbum, I bought these Kurt Geiger wedges online sometime back. When I spotted them online while browsing through KG website, I was totally moved by the colour of love and just couldn't resist buying. Yet to figure out how would I wear them to that would do justice to their beauty, but for now its mere presence is enough to keep me happy. What's your shoe story?

Style Challenge - Wearing One Skirt three ways: causal to work to party.  Wearing one piece of garment over and over again can only be masked for so long. But smart styling can definitely let you wear your favourite piece myriad times.  I bought this H&M skirt last season and while it was sitting in my wardrobe I was working on ways I could wear it. Much to my surprise (it seemed to be one of those pieces you cannot always wear out), I was happy with the way I discovered so many different ways and occasions I could wear this skirt for. Here's how I did it three times. Lace Skirt from H&M Look #1 - Casual Chic A lacy skirt for a casual look may sound like an oxymoron, but don't we all love a challenge? To put together a more casual chic look I wore the lace nude skirt with a very light grey slouchy cotton t-shirt tucked in. To make it playful and interesting, I added pop of bright colours through accessories.  I emphasized the waist with a
