Colour Me Happy

Going by the abundance of colours (on and off the runway), it is more than clear that rainbow hues are going to be 'big' this season.

Effective Colour Blocking.

Hi 5 by Mrinalini's AW '12 collection. She was inspired by kindergarten geometry, which manifested itself in the form of lines and colours in her garments.

Perfect balance of androgyny and femininity.

WIFW SS-2012 Roundup

They say as you grow older, you get a better insight into your self, and the thing I've realized about myself is that i'm a fiercely competitive person. I like to call it the 'shiny new toy' syndrome wherein I get obsessed with something and go all out to get it, and after having gotten it, I get bored and move onto the next thing. Now I know that this is not a very nice quality to possess, but I am only human, and am trying to overcome this vice, and I'm sure that with age I will surely get over it. Now I do realise my loyal readers are not my therapists, hence I will stop with the ranting and rambling, and save that for an actual shrink. Not to say that I treat my blog like a ''shiny new toy', but yes in the recent past I did get a little too pre-occupied with the mad dash to get more followers and web-hits, actions that in retrospect seem totally uncharacteristic and quite honestly immature. I don't know why I felt the need to compete in the first place, cos quite honestly, I blog because I love doing it, and feel like it will serve as a learning curve for ultimately building a career in fashion journalism and design.

So recently I got to go for the spring-summer 2012 editon of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, and thanks to my friend Nayantara(who was nice enough to lend me her DSLR) I unleashed my inner shutterbug and went clickity clack clack(sounds that a camera makes, just incase i lost you there).

I do realise that my posts have been terribly sporadic of late, but college and other important matters keep me tied up. I will however assure you (like I aways do after every post) that i'll try and be more regular. Peace out!

Dog Day Afternoon

Ok so a little over a week has passed since my last post,and a few things of(sartorial) importance have taken place since.Designers took centrestage at the Oscars,what with Natalie Portman thanking the Mulleavy sisters and Colin Firth thanking close 'buddy' Tom Ford in their respective acceptance speeches,and designer extra-ordinaire John Galliano falling from grace(and how) following his anti-sematic rant at a night-club(tch tch).But apart from these 'incidents',it has been a happy week for me.

Firstly,I discovered the game of foosball at a Puma event on saturday night(well I knew what it was having seen it being the cause of contention on many a occasion on 'FRIENDS'),but did'nt quite know how much fun it could be.I mean seriously,being non-athletic(and that's putting it lightly),I think this is the most fun i've had at sports/sport like activity.

Also,you know how some people have kooky aunts(the types who collect cats,art,etc.).Well I have a kooky cousin,not so much kooky as artsy.Well,she came down to Delhi for the weekend,and being the spendaholic that she is, spent a bomb at Amprapali and then went on a mad-cap high street shopping spree.Considering how much I love to shop/shop for others/force them into buying what I think would look good on them,let's just say it was a saturday afternoon well spent!




that would be one of the gorgeous amrapali 'flower' bracelets she bought.



loving the 'poky' installation at Khan Chacha(a Delhi institution if there ever were one!)
