Why Girls Love Winter / Autumn

Winter is magic and why you ask - Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.- Edit Sitwell 

Winter is time to warm the shackles of our heart, for that cozy touch and cold breath to mingle by the hot bonfire.. 

Winter is for so many things and quite a favorite with all the lady folks.

Listen carefully its not a hoax. 

Hot Chocolate 

Date with hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Books 

Reading in a warm spot all tucked in. 

Playing footsie with cutesie leg warmers and socks 

Soupy mugs .. 

Winter comfort food

Hot bowls of Maggi and momos for those hunger pangs.

And the stories and music and all the fervour around it all.. 

Cozy candles

Cozy chilled afternoon naps or just tucking your toes in your favorite blanky- nothing can compare to those warm snuggles.

Diwali Decor

Diwali - one of the most loved Indian festival which is celebrated with aplomb is around the corner. Diwali means celebration of light, good, life, colours and joy.

Celebrating this festival with our near and dear ones we open our home doors to all the love, get-togethers, festivities and more. So this comes as no surprise that we want our home to reflect the beauty of Diwali and glow in its colours and be warm and beautiful.

Sharing some of my most favourite ways to decorate your home this Diwali and at no great costs.

So keep reading ....

Flowers

Flowers and Diwali go hand in hand especially Marigold- Adorn your home with flowers, giving it a fresh and fragrant feel.

Make the entrance welcoming with lights flowers and colours.

Arrange flowers everywhere in different vessels, urns and make it pretty.

Rangoli

Adorn your home with Rangoli be it from fresh flowers, chalk, paint, colours or the readymade kundan ones. Use your imagination and create a master piece ;p

Copper utensils

Bring out the old brass and copper vessels, the silver and even the olden steel ones, they add warmth and character to the house.

Play with terracotta.

A little bit of terracotta around the house adds simplicity and an earthy feel.

Tell a different story through every corner.

Diyas

The festival of lights is incomplete without diyas.

Let every corner of your home glow with diyas, fairy lights and candles and add an effervescent glow to your home.

Group together different pieces to complete the bigger picture.

Throw in lot of bright colours in the form of furnishings, cushions etc ...

These were just a few tips, be creative and transform your home into Diwali grandeur.

Hope you enjoyed the blogpost.

Will be back soon with snippets from my Diwali décor and more Diwali Diy.

Be happy being creative..

Until then.

Stay Happy and Cheerful!

Black on Black

Black was, is and will always remain a fashion classic. A must in every wardrobe. 

The fashion keeps changing but black rules the roost, dawn a simple black classic outfit and you sure are guaranteed of turning heads and appreciation heading your way. 

Instant way to clean up your act and look all classy and elegant. 

Today I am doing a black on black outfit which is a rage. Depends how you can pull of this basic but classy and bold look. 

I threw in a red jacket and kept the look completely minimal. 

For a fine wine and dine and an after party. 

Simple tips to jazz your black on black look- 

Mix textures.

Keep it simple.

Don any one statement piece.

Throw in a jacket, scarf, bag, footwear, hat, leggings etc in another colour to add that instant pop. 

Bright lip shades. 

Play with prints. 

As you can see I have used most of the tips mentioned above in creating my look. The top is chiffon with metal detailings ( it's almost 8 years old and still in mint condition - amazing quality and it's my favorite black top ), the jacket has a different texture and I wanted a pop of red - something solid yet simple. Such a comfortable outfit especially for those cold nights when you want to look all chic yet keep yourself warm and cozy. 

Did you like it ? 

Be experimental and enjoy your own style.
