Life isn't always fair | Day 13, Day 14, Day 15 and Day 16

This post was to be published two weeks ago, that's when I decided the title but could not actually write anything. Bad health and then some events kept me away from the blog, 30 days passed and I could manage only 16 outfit pictures. But, I am surely taking up the 30 day outfit challenge in future and I hope I could complete it then. Till then, this is it guys!

Love,

Butterflies on my Shirt! - Day 12

Note: This post was to be published on Saturday. Then, work kept me busy and it got delayed.The good news is that I am still on with the challenge. I manage to take pictures daily, the posts get delayed somehow!

I love butterflies! Be it jewelry, bags or well, shirts! I am fond quirky prints and chunky jewelry. That's what defines my look here (the shirt and the chain link necklace). So, you may have understood by now that this outfit was planned around the butterfly shirt. Different sizes of butterflies, the blue and white color combination, everything about this shirt is just fascinating. Below are the pictures of what I wore to work on Saturday:

Outfit Details:

Shirt: One of my Flea market finds

Necklace: Gift

Shoes: Lajpat Nagar

Colored Denims | Day 11

I have nothing much to say today. Let's move straight to the outfit. Simple, laid back and very me! Well, there was no thought put into this except for putting the colors together. I wore the black vest to add some structure to the slouchy shirt and that was it. I also added an owl pendant later, therefore, its not visible in the pictures below:

Shirt | Vest : Sarojini Nagar

Shoes: Rubi Shoes

Trousers : Customised

The Going Gets Tough: Day 9 | Day 10

Taking pictures in the morning, putting up on the blog in the evening, it was all working out smoothly initially, but then taking the pictures made me run late for work and in the evening I had other works to do, the posts got delayed, no pictures were taken and all that!
I try my best to post the pictures that same day, but I am unable to do so and then this happens, two outfits in one post (one out of which was taken in the past :D ). So yeah, you kind of get the whole picture, right?

But I promise myself to complete this challenge and not drop it in between :)

So here you go:

An outfit from the past!

Outfit Details:

That is what I wore today!

The Haathi Print: Daily Outfit Post | Day 5

Today, I woke up feeling free (not restricted by the feeling that I have to dress up for WORK). We do not have strict formals at work anyways! Anything descent works but does not mean you show up at work in ‘purani jeans aur guitar’ (you get the point, right?). The basic idea behind today’s look was to layer up on jewelry, everything else that you see in the outfit was built around that (not really, though!).

My favorite trousers paired with my favorite black shirt, it looked well but I wanted it to look fun. Then, comes in the haathi (elephant) print cape I love, it was actually a scarf that I got made into the cape and the look was complete. Its fun to put a little thought into everyday outfits, the 30-day outfit post challenge makes me do just that! I am loving it.

Outfit Details:

Necklaces | Bangles: Janpath

Trousers: Custom Made

Everything else in the outfit: No idea :P

Much Love,

Deepika :)

Pink and Blue- Daily Outfit Post (Day 4)

Four days down already! yoohoo!! These days went like a breeze, I hope it stays the same for 26 more days (sounds easy, eh? ;) ). I won't go into the details of the outfit as it very very simple, all the pieces just got along well and I liked the outcome :).

I have something for all the tie-dye stuff, dupattas are my favorites followed by bags and tops. I keep collecting this kinda stuff and sometimes they come really handy (like today!). They're good to add a desi (Indian) touch to the outfit.

Fishy Love: The earrings I am wearing in the post! Designed and Created by me. Deepika Designs

P.S I am in love with this song (On replay)

The Colored Denim- Daily Outfit Post (Day 3)

First two days went just fine. Today, it started with a 15 minutes long staring at the pile of clothes lying in my closet (I usually take 5!). It was one of those 'having too many ideas but none working' kinda day. Finally, I combined these three pieces.Here comes the third day outfit. The basic inspiration for this look was tunic/kurti with the jeans. I added colored trousers and the crochet shrug as my take on the look.

Outfit Details:

Kurti: Customized

Trousers: Also worn here and here

Crochet Shrug: Also worn here

Earrings: Deepika Designs

Cuff: Janpath

Bag: Dilli Haat

The Flower Power- Daily Outfit Post (Day 2)

Just yesterday, I was talking about not wearing layers, due to the rains! And today, I am embracing layers (that's how unpredictable I can be!). Layering is an easy way to wear the same piece of clothing in a new way every time. Also I felt inspired by Surbhi's look, where she layered with a button down shirt.

Outfit Details:

Shirt: Also worn here

Floral Tee: Thrifted

Necklace: My Design

Watch: Factorie

Bangle: Dilli Haat

The Rainy Day- Daily Outfit Post (Day 1)

The rains in Delhi = What-a-relief! I love rains but they make travelling so difficult, specially if you travel by public transport. Today while going to work, I got semi-drenched and I felt so irritated, though it got better in about half-an-hour. I totally love the awesome mausam (weather) rains bring, only if, all that blocked water on the roads vanishes!

The 30 day outfit post challenge: I've taken up a challenge to do continuous outfit posts for 30 days (except sundays, when I am usually at home!). These are going to be more of everyday outfits, something which I wear to work everyday.That's what I wore today, just a simple tunic and skinnies kinda outfit. I avoided layers purposely, so that in case I get wet (which I eventually did), it dries up quick without hassle!

Outfit Details:

Tunic|Shoes: Janpath

Wooden Beads Necklace: Gifted

Denims: Levi's

Bracelets (Do not belong to me): Designed by a Friend

Much Love,

Life in the (First Compartment of Delhi) Metro! - Part 1

All you gals (well, all the Delhi gals) must have traveled at lease once in the first compartment (the women only) of the Delhi metro. It's a different world in itself, full of girls! I spend almost 2 hours everyday, 12 hours a week in the metro, so it has become an inevitable and a very important part of my life. I see a lot of new and some same faces everyday travelling via metro. But, there's something special about it that's makes me write this post.

I randomly took the above picture yesterday, then I thought why not write a post about it? Traveling in the metro can be quite fun and entertaining. If you too travel in the Women Only compartment then you might have seen/met the following people:

The Loudspeakers: The gals who talk non-stop on the phone and in a very loud (well, unbearable!) tone. No matter how much you stare at them, makes faces, do whatever, they just ignore all the gesture.

The Chooda Gals: The type of gals I love staring at, I love chooda (for those who don't know, they are red and white bangles that the newly weds wear). Just yesterday, I saw 5 gals wearing chooda on my way to work.

The Readers: (I being one of them) The girls who dig themselves into novels/newspapers/text books/tabs reading something and ignoring everything/everyone around.

The Fashion Disasters: Dressed head to toe in the same color, shoes, bags and even hair band, all in that same color.Well, I don't think I need to describe them further, we all know them!

(to be continued...)
This is a never ending list that I'll continue (this and a lot more) in the future posts. Below is the picture of the necklace I wore yesterday!

Via Instagram

And I liked the Grazia this month, its all about embracing the denim pants (which is supposed to be my favorite piece of clothing). Also, the wedding book (which came with the Vogue) offers interesting info on jewelry and clothing for the brides-to-be, one of my friends being one of them, loved it.

Any funny metro experiences? Please share :)

Much Love,

Deepika

Laid Back Monday..... You wish!

So, yeah monday comes every week! Although, I love my job but getting up early in the morning is so not my thing (and, it will never be!) and it's tougher on monday because you're still surrounded by that laid back vibe. Therefore, I try and dress colorful to work on mondays (yes, I am even allowed to wear neon to work), which keeps me going through the day!

Other way's to get through monday:
#Listen to loud music on the way to work.
#Stretch your yoga sessions (It relieves stress, right?)
#Like me, dress colorfully to work.
#Last and the best, take an off ! (why go to work at all ;) )

Last monday, I wore this:

Yesterday, I wore this:

How do you guys deal with mondays? Please share your secrets!

Much Love,

Things I'll Never Say...

Not one of the best days to write a post but I need to write today. I want to talk about so many things to so many people but I am just choked with words and I am not able to say anything. The most frustrating part is  knowing what you want to say but not knowing how. Do we all have such tendencies of holding up words or is it just me? I end up being in such situations more often than not. I am misunderstood, misinterpreted and what not! And I can do nothing about it. Ah, well I think I should stop here as I do not know where is this going! 

Well for those who come here to see pretty outfit pictures, please ignore the text above and proceed :). This is what I wore for a casual day out with family. 

Black Out

While you read this post, I am on my way to a weekend getaway with family and friends :). Happy weekend everyone! Lately, I am obsessed with all black outfits with a pop of color. I created one such outfit here. I had an all black wardrobe few years ago, but it has become very colorful now. Though, my love for black is slowly finding its way to my wardrobe again.

I am wearing:

Black Shirt: Ghora Tabela

Pink Shirt: Sarojini Nagar

Bangles/Earrings: Deepika Designs

Ring: HandsOn

Necklace: diva

Much Love,

The Great Ocean Road (Melbourne Diaries)

While, its winters in most of the places, here in Melbourne, we welcome summers. Yay!! (Though, summers here are not even near summers, it can get cold any minute). Except the coziness of winters, I am a lil biased towards summers. :D. So, I went to the most scenic drive I've ever been to, The Great Ocean Road. If you guys don't believe me, google it, you'll know what I am talking about! That place is just B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Yes, I mean it and before I go on and on about its beauty, here come the pictures:

That's my Brother :)

Ain't it picture perfect?

The Twelve Apostles

Ain't the place beautiful?
This pretty much sums up my current state of mind: “Not all those who wander are lost.”

Much Love,
Deepika
