Summer Blue and Pleats










Top: Wal-mart ($8), Skirt: Suzy Sheir ($7), bracelet: borrowed from mom, Sandals: Aldo -very old - $8, hoops: gift from mom-in-law

I finally own a pleats skirt, I had my eye on this skirt ever since spring. Best things come to those that wait - I usually dont like this quote bec I like to take action and not wait, but I can wait when it comes to clothes.

Hope you had a fantastic weekend! We are having very warm weather here in western part of canada, i love it!

Teal Flowers







Cotton tunic: from India (gift), necklace: H&M ($10), Black skinny jeans: SIRENS ($15),
Wedges: Wal-mart ($15), Eaarings: Ardene's ($3)

We had a BBQ to go to this weekend and this is what I wore. I love this tunic my mom got me from India - it has 3 of my fav colors - white, teal and gold. It created a nice contrast with black jeans against it, didn't it?

Matching with my Hubby (East-Indian Style)








Yeah we are one of those couples, that love to match whenever we go out!!! Actually hubby enjoys it more than I do. Well a weekend ago, there was a sikh parade in town. My family, hubby and I and few of my coworkers went out for the day. I decided to wear my wedding bangles again.

I love love love the floral print, paisley print and many different colors in this dress! This is one of the dress I wore in India during the wedding week.

Union Dance





Dress: H&M ($30), Belt: $2, Necklace: Wedding gift (from in-laws), Bangles: F21 ($5),
Earrigns: Flee Market (in India)

My hubby and I went to the union dance last weekend and it was so much fun! I got to sit with the mayor and the councillors of our city (If you ask me, I felt like a BIG DEAL).

I also felt like a big deal, bec i wore my diamond jewellery that I received from my wedding gifts from my in-laws. I love the classy-ness of the necklace :) I dont know if you can tell by the design, but it matches with my engagement ring. and cobalt blue and gold works good together! :)

We are MARRIED!!!!!


Sorry for the lack of posts guys, I really didnt plan anything for my blog in my absence. My bad. But I am back now and will be doing regular posts in this week. I am sharing some of my favourite photos from the wedding which was on Feb 26, 2012 in India.


I am so happy and blessed to be married and it was a picture perfect day. It is kind of surreal to look back and say we actually got married. Do any of the married ladies relate? For us, it is just a blur.

the girls at the henna party!

I love my husband!

Hope you enjoyed the photos and thanks for sticking around. I love you, all my followers! I have moved to my husbands place and loving being together all the time.

Wedding festivities begin...4 more days to go!!!!



Want to know what I have been upto for the last 2 weeks - a hybrid wedding in INDIA........that's what. I have been having the time of my life.... My sis in law actually is writing a blog about it....check out the blog here: http://canadianmegan4.blogspot.in/ to get regular updates.....

Now that my hubby-to be has showed up here in India, I think I have fallen in love with him all over again (|we have been together for more than 6 yrs but then again who is counting!)


I think being a bride in india is the best blessing I have ever received in my life. 7 day bridal pampering package combined with pampering and excitement from the family...I just love it all!!!


My sis in law has learning the basics of language and has fast become the favourite of my dear grandma, who I am so lucky to have her blessed hands on us during the wedding festvities!


Megan and I ditched the modern day taxi for many rides in auto-rickshaw...they take u around the city for under $5 anywhere and plus you get a beautiful view through it.

I had a head message with a head spa, and a body massage....so freaking relaxing...I love INDIA. haha

I cant wait to get married...4 more days to go!!! :)

The Wedding Situation - Revisted*

This weekend was awesome to say the least! Friday we kicked off our weekend visiting the in-laws to discuss something about the wedding.. Everyone was under the impression that we are going to discuss whether the wedding in canada will be one day-or 2- day wedding.

Instead dad dropped the GREAT NEWS BOMB. Remember here, when we dropped the idea of getting married in India bec family was not happy and so I cried for weeks about it until I decided to except the situation and decided to get marrried here in Canada.

The great news is: WEDDING WILL BE IN INDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! As if you ask the universe and no matter how hard we try to change the situations, what's written will happen. OMG, You guys I am so happy i wish you could see my face right now. Dad dropped the bomb and everyone was so relieved and happy that family back home accepted the differences and encouraged my dad to have wedding in India. I have recieved unlimited texts from my cousins who first weren't able to attend in Canada and now everyone on my family can. MY GRANDPARENTS will be part of the weddin, just how I wanted. THANK GOD! and positive people in my life and bloggy world who prayed for my wishes to come true.

After wedding in India, we will still host reception in Canada for friends and family - a dinner and dance party for them who cannot come to India with us. I think we will still keep the canadian themed reception - I will wear the white dress and my bridesmaid etc. etc. I dont want to take fun stuff away from my girlfriends. WOW, SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

BEST of all, WEDDING was in 9 months in Canada, but now bec we are planning to go to india, WE GET MARRIED IN 4 MONTHS! 18 weeks! 126 days! countdown is SO ON! hahaha

It is sooooooooooo stressfful here to plan the wedding, I am so beyond glad it worked out for me(I was getting booked with 8 days full of appointments- appts after work and on the weekend like no time to breathe) Things are DIFFERENT in India!! you pay and get work done, sit back and actually enjoy the wedding!!!

Thanks for listening, I cant wait to fill in with all the Indian details now. Stay Tuned!


I guess I will show you what I did this weekend - I worked - thats right, worked on a sat! (Ah perks of this job! - meaning got to attend a inter city multicultural ladies event and got henna done). I will stop talking. enjoy!


me and my co-worker - getting indianfied - henna!

Receipe - Indian Chai and secret ingredients

Happy Weekend everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. In one of my past weekend posts a lovely reader asked how we make Indian Chai. So what a better way to launch the cooking series with a Chai post. It is one of my most favourite things to have ALL THE TIME.. This recipe is for 2 people. And cut or double the ingredients if it is for less or more people than 2. Well without further ado, here it is.

First the things you need:

1 Cup of Water


    2. Red Rose Orange Pekoe Teabag (you can use any brand name Black Tea), 2 table spoons of Sugar (forgot to include picture of it) - 2 spoons because the receipe is for 2 people.
    3. A teabag and 2 pieces of green cardomom (Note: Green Cardamom or black cardamom would do, this is the SECRET INGREDIENT! - this is what makes it yummy - trust me!)
                                        
    4. 1 cup of Milk (You can sue 1% or 2%, skim - we use 2%)
     5. A teacup strainer - ususally can be found in wal-mart or any east-indian stores
    Ok, next get a pan and put 1 cup of water in, with the teabag and crack open the cardamoms when putting in the mix. Let it boil for 1 minute.
     Set aside 1 cup of milk using the same cup that we used before:
    Then add the milk to the mix.
    Now, I let it come to boil - takes about 4-5 minutes on high heat
    This is what it looks like when it is coming to boil - be careful to take it off of gas as it started boiling - otherwise it will spill everywhere
    Then use the strainer to take extra ingredients out and take the chai
    This is the final product, now enjoy! :)
    Now, wasn't that easy?
    Let me know your thoughts below :) Do you have any other requests? I am accepting requests and will post the next receipe accordingly.
