Lessons, Learnings, Laughter!

A year seems inconsequential but if you really stop and think about it, each one of those days had their own significance, in one way or another. Another year passes and I turn a year older. Usually, I don't believe in the concept of celebrating life on one particular day, within the span of a limited 24 hours. My thoughts are that you should live and celebrate life everyday. But the fact that my birthday falls on the same day as Beyonce's makes my heart dance with joy and gets me excited nonetheless. 

So, as I turn a year older, I decided to reflect on the past one year and how much I have learnt since then. Just like any year, it had its ups and downs. Penning down my learnings, lessons and moments of laughter and love, I hope you take back something of substance from this. 

I learnt that patience is powerful. I started off as someone who wanted things to happen instantly, with little to no tolerance level. But somewhere down the line I understood that if you got everything you wanted, served to you a platter the moment you wanted it, there'd be no learning, no journey, no growth. 

I learnt that effort is priceless. Be it at work, for family or in your relationship. You need to put in the required effort, take the required action everyday. That way, you will have no regrets. If you ever feel unmotivated, ask yourself: Whats it that you're going to lose by taking action? 

I learnt the importance of having goals. If you have seen the winning speech by Matthew McConaughey, when he wins an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club, he mentions that he is always chasing his hero, which in effect is the person he wants to become in the coming few years. And, for most of us, that's what keeps us going endlessly. Where would you hit if you don't have a target? 

I learnt that it is almost essential to maintain your sanity by taking out time for things you love. Reading, movies, travelling to your favorite city, the works!

I also learnt that seeking validation is an unnecessary act. You shouldn't tame/change your thoughts about anything only to fit into the spectrum of society. 

I did learn that your people are your pillars. Your family, your loved one, a handful of your friends; they will build you a great foundation to sail through anything. 

I learnt that it doesn't cost a dime to be grateful for the life you are living. It will just give you a clear lens and make your problems seem smaller. 

And lastly, I learnt that I should post here more often. 

Hope it brightened your day or gave you a little something to ponder on. 

Until Next Time! 

Structured Elegance

It has been a while since I last posted, I shall not deny that. I have been swamped with academics lately and I couldn't wait to get back to curating posts for, you, all my dear patient readers. 

What I set to bring forth today is something novel. If I asked you what a modern, working women, would look for in today's day and age in her wardrobe, I'm sure you would say something along the lines of elegance, agility and the perfect blend of chic and comfort. Luckily, I happened to find all those in this one outfit by Arcoiris. 

I have repeatedly acknowledged the love I have for structured and well put-together clothing. So naturally, while browsing through the website of Arcoiris, I just couldn't resist this skort dress. The literal definition of Arcoiris, meaning 'rainbow' in Spanish, pretty much intrigued me in knowing more about the brand. The beautiful philosophy behind Arcoiris is to empower oneself to express their identity, which is exactly what I seek to bring out through this post. 

The white skort dress is completely body-con that greatly enhances your curves and indeed is quite flattering in all its entirety. I decided on styling the dress along with a choker, barring any heavy accessories so as to give an effortless feel to the whole look. What I sought to create was an imprint of the new-age women with a contemporary elegance. All in all, you can sport the skort dress either at work or at a brunch, and I'm sure eyeballs will linger! 

Let me know your thoughts behind the look in the comments below. (Always great to hear you out.) 

Until next time! 

 

Boho Chic

 With summer nearing it's end and the conundrum of crazy weather beginning, I reckon we still have a few muggy weeks of late summer ahead of us. This undoubtedly calls for outfits that are a roundup of summer fashion implicating a more easy-going relaxed look. 

Much like me, if you have an undying love for summer clothing, All About You from Deepika Padukone can pretty much turn out to be your kindred match. Curated by Deepika Padukone herself, the brand encompasses femininity through its silhouettes, and does so, phenomenally. I picked out this tassel vest that synchronized perfectly with these sequined shorts. The white top broke the monotone and when paired with the vest, brought together a very bohemian vibe. You can check out the amazing collection from All About You 'here'.

The best way to amp up any outfit is through the bags you choose to wear with them. As for me, bags have always been an alluring accessory and I cannot resist a good bag when I see one. This bag from Zhero Denim was the perfect mixture of chic and edgy as it comprised of leather and denim, making it one of the many unique bags that I've come across. Another quality that stood out was how sturdy the bag was, making it the perfect match for this look. Check out their bags 'here'.

I paired the overall look with these Rivir Shoes. The silver slip on's are as comfortable as they look. It fell in place and aided the chic factor, seamlessly. The whole look was created in mind by bringing out a bohemian look(with a chic touch) and one that serves as a fashion fix for the last days of summer while they're here. 

Let me know whats your idea of a bohemian look, in the comments below.

Until next time, lovelies!
