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:

Shoes : Rubi Shoes

Cuff | Ring : Deepika Designs

Dress | Leggings : Globus

That is what I wore today!

Kurti | Leggings | Shoes : Lajpat Nagar

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

P.S Have you read about the 30 day outfit challenge yet? Read it here.

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,

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

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.”

St. Kilda Beach (Melbourne Diaries)

So, I've never been to a beach all my life when I was in India and less than a month being here, I've already visited three beaches. Yay!!. I went to St. Kilda Beach on Saturday and was totally mesmerized by its beauty. We walked by the beach, soaked in the beauty and clicked beautiful pictures. Then, we stopped at Nando's for a quick bite. The weather here is quite unpredictable, carrying a jacket and an umbrella with you always, is a must. Here are some pictures from that day:

The Beautiful Beach

Street with Graffiti all around

Loved the art!

That's what we had :D

I am Wearing:

Shirt and Scarf: Janpath

Navigator Sunnies: Factorie

Watch: KMart

Bracelets and Ring: Random

Shoes: Bata

P.S I hope all of you are enjoying the festivities in India. I am surely missing the Diwali dhamaal (celebrations) here!

Much Love,

Deepika

Feels Good to be back!!

First of all a big Hello to everyone. Well, I managed to be away from this space for almost over a month. Feels good to know that I was missed :) (I missed you guys too, will catch up on all the blogs soon). I did come here to write in between, but I had so many ideas that I was unable to settle for any one idea and I kept bouncing back and forth. I have too much to tell you guys but let's go one by one :D. I am on a long long holiday (as I've already mentioned in my previous post). The update is I am in Melbourne. Ha! it feels good (very good, actually).
So, in Melbourne, my life is pretty much eating-shopping-wandering-meetingnewpeople :D (which, I am totally enjoying). Well, things are a bit settled now, therefore, I am back to blogging!
And here are some random pictures from the trip so far (detailed posts on the way!)
