My First pair of White Jeans and how to wear them with flare

Afraid of wearing white pants?

I have always been afraid or not so confident about wearing a pair of white jeans. Honestly ..
I am heavier on my bottom and on the plumper side so it was a big no according to the fashion bible.
White pants are meant for skinny girls - myth or reality.
I was soon to find out .. one more thing on my bucket list was about to be ticked or flicked in the bin.
I was out shopping for my birthday when I saw this gorgeous pair and in my heart I always wanted to try one out and then there were friends and family saying it will make you look thicker, not for you and you get the drift.
But guess this time I threw caution to the wind and went after my heart and was I glad I did that.  I rocked this look on my birthday ..  Loved it and completed another challenge in my brain, life, fashion, confidence whatever you may term it. But I did conquer this fear with ace.

Some tips to wear it with flare.

• Always get the perfect fit, not too baggy or it will make you look more frumpy and big and not too tight, you don't want the colour to reflect on those areas that you want to camouflage more. It should fit perfectly.
• Don't go in for a too thin material which is see through nor a too thick one which adds another layer which is not required.
• Wear appropriate underwear, you don't want it to look like a bizarre peep show. 
• Pair the jeans with a plaid shirt and you have a classic on your hand. 
• create layers, try blazers, dusters, to break all that white. Just match the right colours. It will work out surely.
• The classic one will always remain black and white - its magic. So pair it up with a black top. 
• White on white is pristine. 
• Try long tops, shirts, stripes if you don't want to experiment too much.
• Lastly wear it with panache and carry it with attitude and you are done. 

Such a classic piece for every wardrobe especially in Summer.

Goa Diaries- Snippets

Our Tradition of Hubby's birthday celebration in Goa continues. 

We both love Goa however his love for Goa exceeds mine any given day with him wanting to spend every birthday of his in this land of Sun, Sea and Sand. He wants to Go to Goa for every vacation 🙈. 

So atleast one trip to Goa every year is mandate and so is his Birthday celebration 💃.  

This trip was all about Sleep, Sea, Swim, Eat and Repeat. 🏊🌴🌊🌞😴🍴 We so needed some relaxation and Goa never lets you down. 

We got a slice of everything on offer - partying, lazying, napping on the beach, swimming, feasting and hydrating. 

The susegad life indeed. 

Sharing with you guys our sun kissed snippets. ❤️❤️

Enroute, we both love to take a road trip to Goa rather than a flight or train.

We just love the scenic locales and all the fun we have on our journey.🚗

 

Mandate pit stop and customary weird pose.

Goa it is.🌴🌴

The elephant drank away my drink ;)🤓🍹

when in Goa it is always Boho.

Love reading after swims be it by the pool or at the beach.

The sea food paradise, we can never have enough of it.🐠🐟🍤

The sea beckons........

We can sit on the beach forever.

Night dips and then long peaceful sleep.

The beauty never ceases.

slurping on ice creams is a must.🍦

Perfect nook to read.

Ending on a sweet note.

This trip was so much fun and more.

More posts coming soon.

Hope you enjoyed.

Do let us know your thoughts.

Until we meet again.

Stay cheerful and happy.

Lots of sunshine and laughter.

March Favorites 2016

The march heat hit us with a jolt and before we could get comfortable and say 'Hello March' t's already over. 

Just a few favorites and my March in little snippets and pictures. 

I love potpourri, fragrances, candles, wood, flowers and some soothing natural herbal tea. 

A perfect evening is an amalgamation of these senses. Here I am on such an evening enjoying my cup of cinnamon tea. Zen. Perfect! 

Summer is here and the love of flowers and the joy to be in the open grass and enjoy the greenery. Sadly it's very hot to even venture out during the day time. So here I am with my never ending love for nature. In the garden of my own mind- healing all my senses with my favorite hobby. Ever calming, ever favorite of mine. Paint like there is no tomorrow. Paint your heart out. The joy that it brings. 

Try it out. 

The love for floral designs over white bedspreads just soothes my senses in the hot months of summer.

A perfect summer day enjoying a nice read. If you wish to read the review of the book it's right here. Bhakti Diaries : The Monk who Sold his Ferrari

The days are so hot you crave for a liquid diet rather than food. But who could say no to a hot steaming plate of chicken momos with spicy chutney from the local Himalayan momos Cafe Milano. I just love this. So light yet so filling. Comfort food at its best and surprisingly not so unhealthy as well. 

Keeping myself hydrated with these infused concoctions. Infused water is super healthy, yummy and oh so hydrating. Best thing is it is so easy to make and super quick. I am having my dose of cucumber, mint, ginger and lime infused water. The health benefits of these drinks are so many to even count. For a list of these super drinks and their health benefits check out the post here -Bhakti Diaries : Summer Detox Drinks

No sooner than summer arrives it's time to greet the King of fruits and what better way than to welcome him at Falahaar with a tall glass of Mango blast. Sinful indulgence is this. Mango thick shake rather pulp with dollops of rich cream, smooth ice cream topped up with fresh cut mango. I am already in heaven. You must try it. 

I have a weak spot for a hot plate of creamy white pasta. I can gobble it any time and lick the plate clean as you all know by now. Every month there has to be one pasta favorite. This one is from cafe Milano. A veg Alfredo pasta which was super yummy and an absolute treat. Filled with veggies and mushrooms I can sheepishly say it was healthy too (grinning widely) . 

The love for Kolhapuris continue, this one is right from Kolhapur, the Mecca of magic for kolhapuris. A beautiful present and I sure loved it. Check out my nails cutely painted with summer colours. Totally summer ready feet. Ting !! 

I am wearing Colorama 29.

And just before March ended this baby arrived sitting snugly in the mail courtesy Paperboat. They sure know the way to a heart full of memories and just like that opened a bag full of sweet memories that will linger forever. I was transferred to the time when watching jungle book on Sunday was the biggest P.O.A ( plan of action ) and excitement mounted in every living room with TV blasting the tunes of jungle book on high volume. Cheering for Mowgli while gorging on Sunday breakfast. Sigh. Those simple things and simple happiness. Thanks Paper boat for giving me a peep into the innocent era gone by and rekindling old memories. Their timing couldn't be more perfect what with Mowgli the movie larger than ever coming up. 

How i love this song, Its coming in theaters on 8th of April people so be ready. yay ( a little jungle dance )

My Sunday is set with big plans of reading Jungle Book with yummy treats. 

So here did March end on a very happy note. 

How was March for you all ? Do let me know in the comments below. 

Until we meet next time. 

Stay happy and cheerful !
