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.

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

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!

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,

The Jewelry Corner (Organisation)

As you guys know, I have (temporarily) moved to Melbourne. New house, new room and new organisations :D. I am not a very organised person, generally, but when it comes to clothes, bags, shoes and jewelry, I am highly organised. So in my new room, I managed to create a lil jewelry corner using the stuff we generally have around our house. So, following are pictures and some tips to make your own jewelry corner:

The Corner

 I've made this jewelry corner over an orange storage cube which has some makeup and some more jewelry stored in there :D.

• I've stacked the bangles over a tissue role holder.
• The butterfly that holds my earrings is a candle holder. I've taken out the two holders and kept them on the left side of the stand and it hold my studs.

•  The oxidized silver tray in the picture below holds all my rings, you can also use a glass bowl to keep your rings. I picked this up from The Salvation Army store for 50 cents.

•  The candle holders which now hold my studs 

•  I used a basket to store my huge pendants

•  You can hang as many earrings as you like on the stand.Those pink and bronze earrings are my latest buys, haven't worm them yet.

•  I've pasted some hooks inside the storage cube to hang my necklaces. You can use such hooks anywhere (on the door of your room, cupboard door etc.) to hang your neckpieces.

•  I've placed my brooches at the base of the stand (the beige and black roses)

I hope this post gives you some inspiration for making your own jewelry corner :). I would also like to know how do you guys store your jewelry? Do share your ideas!

Much Love,
Deepika
