Pretty Reckless

The post title is a nod to my current favourite band that goes by the same name.It's fronted by Little J herself, Taylor Momsen, whose sartorial outings on Gossip Girl are totally lust-worthy. Talking of good girls gone bad,there's something to be said of girls who let their wild streaks get the better of them!I mean i'm all for women's lib and girls not being reduced to the stereotypical role that society expects from them and am a firm believer in the saying, 'people need dramatic examples to shake them out of their apathy', but in light of recent movies such as 'Bad Teacher' and 'Easy A' wherein the heroines are far from saintly and the Casey Anthony trial, I have to say that acting reckless and selling your soul to the devil isn'nt really worth the 60 minutes of fame, let alone 15.So let the acts be dramatic, but not to the extent where you find it difficult, to not only live down the incident, but also to live with yourself!

Retro Renegade

Ok so I am back with another shoot of sorts.This one was actually a part of a college assignment wherein my friend had to style and photograph me according to a certain theme(the theme being retro incase you did'nt already figure that out looking at the pictures)!So like I said,my friend A was supposed to have styled me,but being the lazy bum that she is and the obsessive perfectionist(haha I can't even say that with a straightface-I am as lazy, if not more than my friend,although I do get slightly obsessive when it comes to things that I love doing!),I ended up styling myself and also played creative director(yes I do infact realize that this ain't no glitzy magazine shoot,but a boy can dream right?also get ready to get sucker-punched if you burst my little bubble :P).The inspiration was Ryan O' Neal's preppy ivy league style in 'Love Story',and hence the perfect opportunity to test drive this vintage 'man-bag'(?) that my aunt gave me.

The pictures were taken at Hauz Khas Village,which is a must must visit incase you're ever in Delhi.It's a charming little market which houses quirky designer stores,artsy bistros(TLR has the best caesar salad ever!EVER!),vintage-y furniture stores,alternative bookstores and offers the best view of the lake at Deer Park.Like I said,a must visit!(and no,I have not been payed by them to say so!! :p)


Adding to the "retro-ness" of the post, Chace Crawford(on the cover of V-Man magazine)sitting pretty next to my copper Zara sneakers!


I love how shiny they are!!

And i'll also share with you the pictures that I took.The theme was 'bohemian', and the model(haha) is off-course my gorgeous friend A.

Everything looks better when the sun goes down

Okay so this is the first official outfit post on 'our' blog(yes you heard me right,from now on I have a co-collaborater on my blog,we'll call her H).So my inspiration behind this "look" is the grunge punk style that Taylor Momsen's character Jenny Humphrey nailed on season 2 of Gossip Girl(yes the one wherein little J decided to go all bad-ass on us).Think plaid flannel shirts,combat boots,worn out black pants/leggings,.A look Kurt Cobain would definitely be proud of!
