A little late on the trend....but better late than never right?

Striped Chiffon Shirt: F21 ($10), Pants: Suzy Shier ($15), Blazer: Thrifted via Value Village, Flats: Payless - old ($10)

As you all know I recently started a new job, I was quite apprehensive about wearing red jeans for my casual friday. I sat quietly at the office until my boss called me "Trend setter". Out of all people, I did not expect my boss to come around and say something about MY.RED.PANTS!

Well tsk, tsk! its better than her freaking out on me I supposse! I sweat-ed the small stuff all morning and I asked my hubby like 3 times if I should wear them or not. He somehow convinced me it still looks conservative.

I had a great weekend, did you? The weather was beautiful :) My husband went to hang out with his friends and so I took the time to spend some quality time with my brother. Now that I am married and moved out of my house- I really miss him. We went clothes, grocery and nail paint shopping. He enjoyed it, although I enjoyed it way more! :)

Later, I got the news that one of my besy friends is moving back home as she left our city 6 months ago to live somewhere else, things didnt work out as they envisioned, it's such a great news! I am so happy! :)

Got to also catch up with another best friend of mine :) We planned our outfits for our wedding reception coming up in less that 4 weeks, and another friend of ours is getting married also.

Hope your weekend was great! Happy Monday! (I have a day off horray!)

Red Lipstick

Among many new things lately in my life is a new husband, new place to live in (in-laws house), new morning and sleeping routine. This is a great opportunity to start fresh again. So I thought why not debut on the blog as a married women wearing red lipstick? As my mom said to me a day after we got married - start wearing bright colored lipstick bec you are married now (bec in Indian culture traditionally women would wear bright lipsticks only after they are married) and I said YES MOM! :D I used to just dab on some lipgloss before but now I am excited to start increasing my lipstick collection.

I love royal blue against grey pants (Even though you cant see them) - I still in the process of setting my tripod in my in-laws bathroom.

Almost Black and White

Plaid Shirt: Thrifted ($4), Pants: GAP ($20), Red v-neck: F21 ($5), Belt: Thrifted ($1)

January 2012 must be a plaid month, as I am finding myself wanting to wear plaid ALL the time now. Yesterday I wore a plaid tweed jacket. This plaid shirt I wore today, I thrifted it last year for $4 only and guys, it is so comfy - full sleeve and partially wool material so it keeps me warm no matter what I wear with it. 

Bridal shower update: It was alot of fun, this one was the first one I ever attended. I still do not have pictures on me from the event, otherwise I would share what I wore and how the gifts got showered on me (literally) through a very nicely decorated strainer.

A very Exciting Year - 2012!

2012 is our year, is a year where my best friend and I will get married. Only a girl's heart can know how she feels when there are few days left for her to get married. There are so many emotions running through my heart and mind these days.

The excitement to be searching for THE wedding dress, then sad emotions about parting with my family soon after the wedding, amazement on how far R and I have come and become so much stronger than we have ever been

Vest: Hand me downs, Boots: S.M., Pants: GAP ($15), Plaid: thrifted ($7)

 and then the next moment, I get so much more happy to think about new things we would do as newlyweds and start our new life together - a new chapter in life, sometimes feel anxious wondering if everything would go ok. In fact, I wont be suprised if there would be some bumps along the way. and that is ok, nothing is perfect. Well except GOD.

Infact, my only resolution this year to Enjoy more, Laugh more and Worry less, esp about things not in our control and I wanna share my new favourite song with all of you called "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bob McFerin.

What is your "things/habits to improve on" for this new year!?

Family Christmas Dinner Outfit 2011

Dress: Suzy Sheir, Necklace: Ardene's, Cardi: Old Navy

This is what I wore to Christmas family get together at my Fiance parents place yesterday. I love the cut of this dress, the neckline design and it can totally be used as a cocktail dress on some other occassions, I am sure. I kept it simple with a black cardi and necklace. 

It was alot of family fun, it was good to sit with grandparents and listening to their stories, played cards with the cusions whom I get to see once a year, had holiday tea with the moms, and filled my tummy with some awesome turkey and stuffing yummies :)

I am so greatful for everyone being healthy and happy in my circle of family and friends. 2012 is a huge year for R and I and we can not wait for all the wedding festivities to begin...

I hope you had a best christmas this year and hope people are happy and healthy on your end too.

How Was Your Christmas?

Celebrating TANZANIA!!

I wore this outfit to a recent work party. We were celebrating Tanzania 50th year since they gained independence. I had purchased this necklace last year from a local festival here at a Tanzanian stall, so I thought this would be a perfect occasion to wear this necklace. I know I did not take a photograph of the shoes, but I wore it with my red wedges (which will be featured on the blog soon, promise!)

Being from India, I am just so fond of jewellery. I also love to collect different kinds of jewellery from different countries. This one is so chunky and makes a statement.

Linking up to this challenge - a half-day late - challenge is to rock BLACK.

Do you own/love any ethnic jewellery?



Lucky Shirt

You know last time I wore this tunic was a while back, now that I think about it. I remember it so vividly because I wore it on the day I got this promotion. There is also another story behind these shirt. Weird, how I tell stories about my clothing. Does that make me crazy?

People wear Christmas sweaters on Christmas, I wear tunics...Therefore this is also my Christmas shirt...but since summer it has become my lucky shirt. Just the other day I wore this outfit and was walking around the mall, and I put in a draw at a booth and found out today I won a gift card to the local mall here.Ha! 

Besides everything, I love to wear this tunic because it is comfortable but it also has ruffles and the length is just perfect for my long torso. 

Other times I have remixed this tunic: (I thought you might be interested!)

Thanks for coming by! Have an amazing weekend!
