My blackberry - painted

So for the longest time  was searching for a site in India that sells awesome blackberry panels, i did find one site but since my model is brand new, the 9360, it wasn’t available. So i gave up hope and painted it. Here it is.

I just drew what i wanted with a sketch after painting the case white. Remove the case first of course. Then start painting away(acrylic paints).

After it dries give it a good thick coat of varnish. let it air dry and then put it back on.

Voila.

OOTY – Blue Blue with a twist

G’day all.

I thought I’d post an OOTD post today since I hadn’t done one in a long time.

I was heading out for lunch and a movie.

As you can see the pic is taken with my HTC.

I decided to go light on the accessories and keep all the focus on my upper half and the turban.

The top is from NUON, the earrings from Tanishq, The shoes from Lifestyle and the watch and sunglasses from polaroid. The pants are a brand that I don’t really remember. I don’t think it is available anywhere anyway since i’ve had it for almost 5 years. The turban is made from a neck scarf. When i say made i mean tied before i left the house.

Splash Haul

The splash sale is going on. Well, was going on. And boy did I have fun shopping there.

I got a lot more than I’m posting here. But unfortunately or fortunately, i got excited and wore them and they are currently in the wash. The others are wallets that are either already in use or gifted.

Love this. Absolutely love this and at 50% off down from 800/- it is a steal!  I can just picture how awesome it would look with a purple top and some black high waisted pants. A nice watch, tiny stud earrings and it is such a go to outfit.

I got this in an XL, that is because the didn’t have a Medium. But this looked so lovely anyway that I couldn’t resist. and If i’m right, it was 60% off from  1250/- which makes it a steal. Love the two pockets because hey, i’m a pocket girl. And I’m probably going to be using this in a OOTD soon.

Something that I was dying to get my hands on for quite a long time but i kept resisting. Was so excited to see it still there on the shelves during the sale.  Apart from the whole blue white nautical inspired style it has going on which you all know I love, i love the jandle. How the strap is woven into the metal. And the quilting work done on the entire bag.

My perfect, absolutely gorgeous, overnighter bag. At just 1490/- DAMN! Thats awesome…. because of the finish.  Do you notice the beautiful texture on the pouches while the rest of the bag is just simple. it doesn’t photograph too well . It looks beautiful directly.

Been looking for a boho print like this one. it’s about 1290/- at 30% off. not a bad price. I might not have got it otherwise but since it was on my wishlist, i decided to pick it up. 

Another wishlist item. So glad i found this. It’s still there and i think it is 1099. An awesome price coz this thing, fits beautifully. it’s definitely going into my bad hair day shelf coz it can make me feel awesome no matter what. 

There was also purple and black. purple was one shouldere like the grey one and the black was a tube. it was 909/- after discount, i’m not sure what the price was before that. it was either 10% off or 30% off. either way. i’m glad i got it. 

And finally, a nice LBD. Little blue dress. I’m going to be adding a little nautical shrug to this to make it the perfect navy nautical combo.

I really went all out. apart from this i got some accessories, two more wallets and a top that is in the wash because i wore it immediately after purchasing it. And even though today is the last sale day, these things are awesome and some pieces are still at the store. I’m sure you guys would love to pick them up.

Have fun shopping.

Summer Shorts Trends

Here is a quick overview of the shorts that are making the rounds this summer.

Starting with my favourite.

The high waisted shorts.

The high waisted shorts have made a comeback and they look super cute. a gift for any woman who has a questionable waistline yet amazing legs.

another rule of thumb – when going for high waisted shorts, the higher the better. Because the higher the waist, the longer and more streamlined your legs will looked. This is because you are giving the illusion of longer legs by starting the waist higher than you normally would. Therefore this is an even better bet for those short women who aren’t just satisfied with short shorts and tall heels.

070420-mischa

Mischa Barton seems to love the high waited trend.

The patterned shorts:

Floral patterns are liked by almost everyone, me being an exception to the almost rule. So when you don’t like floral patterns you can always go for other patterns.

Although I wouldn’t necessarily go for these shorts I would prefer something more defined and streamlined. But polka dots are always pretty. 

If you are a plump person wearing a slightly longer pair of patterned shorts remember that smaller patterns suit plump people while larger patterns suit petite people.

The formal shorts:

For those who are bold enough to wear a pair of shorts to a place where it required the clothing to be formal then these are the pair for you. Or maybe you just can’t get enough of the shorts trend, Or maybe it’s just THAT hot in India. Whichever your reason, the formal shorts are a lovely thing to own and a trend that isn’t just a trend but a style that is worth investing in.

The Jason Wu shorts (left) are a beautiful sleek pair. For some reason the grey make it more formal but less depressing (like most formal wear) but for my pair of shorts (right) I’d prefer it if it were more still and dark because I like the slimming effect it has on my waist.

The boyfriend inspired shorts:

dsquared_denim

loose, comfortable and casual. What shorts should really be. For those thinking that men always have had better and more comfortable clothing the new wave of boyfriend / menswear inspired clothing are a must have, i own a few in my cupboard myself. But a menswear inspired pair of shorts are something that is still on my wishlist for the simple reason that I can’t find a good pair anywhere where i live. for those with the body that can rock this trend, go out and pick up a pair.

This is also a good bet for those women who aren’t really used to wearing shorts and are just dipping their toe into the trend to test it. they are more comfortable and less revealing. So even if you find you aren't very comfortable going beyond these, they are still a god way to live the summer.

My favourite shorts trends are listed above. I hope you found this useful and I am sure that you can find these shorts anywhere in your nearby lifestyle / esprit etc.

OOTD – Blue Elephant

 

Jaya is the name of this lovely lady that I spotted when I was taking pictures of the sunset at Wai, Maharashtra. Quite a nice ensemble, very me. I thought I’d share it with you and she very sweetly accepted to pose for the picture as well.

Thanks Jaya for gracing my humble blog.

JAYA SHOES

It has been quite a while since i saw anyone in an all white outfit. A style that I love to hate and love to love, both depending on my mood. Must say that I love the necklace.

Copy (2) of JAYA Copy of JAYAMust say that I love the way she brought the whole thing together. A nice indian touch. Hope you enjoy.

D.I.Y Bows

Since i have vanished without a trace i thought that i would make up for it by coming up with some DIY tutorials that i do whenever i have scrap cloth lying around. So whenever i shop for those headbands/clips with flowers or bows on them the prices usually shock me into thinking “hmm, it probably cost a fraction of this to make”

so i thought, why the hell not? I’ll make it myself rather than buying it. So here is the end result. I’ve made quite a few of these but this one was my first. :-D

I just attached a bobby pin to the back of them. when I find some super cheap metal head bands I’ll just hot glue them together! :-D

I’ll probably be posting a DIY video onto my youtube channel which i will link to here when I do that! :-D

I’ll make another one in a while and make a DIY of it. that is the vid that will be on my youtube page! :-D

hope you guys have been having a good time. Take care!

A blurry OOTD

I had to go for an interview. So I wondered, since i’m not going out much anyway, why not make this an OOTD day. The photo is taken with my mobile so i’m sorry, again, for the quality.
