Hence, here's why : People cannot help but pick their favorite outfit on me. BUT the focus of these series is not to decide what I look good in, but instead how one can be smart and use pieces from their closet in multiple ways. Got it? :) ... Good! Thank you for reading!

Reader's Spotlight (II)

Today's Reader Spotlight is on - Soomya. 

She is my stylish and super supportive sister-in-law (husband's cousin). Thank You, Soms for being such a sport and always saying the kindest things. 

I had a fun time putting this outfit together for a Dinner with my friends. Since it was cold and dark here in Delhi (December 2011) and I hate wearing black and grey, I decided to play with polka dots. As Tanvi has often suggested, I picked one piece from my closet and planned the outfit around it. I picked the polka dot skirt and paired it with black leggings and a black dinner jacket. I wore a neutral color like white in between to avoid the overdose of pink. I added the finishing touches to the outfit with a string of pearls, lots of bangles (obsessed with them) and black watch.

The inspiration of wearing a white tank with a black net patch came from this post, however, the outfit is loosely inspired from this post. P.S. I am completely in awe of TANVI not just because we are related but for her classic, fun and very inspirational style!

I think it is a super cute look. I love the finishing touches. And let's not forget the satchel which is playing an amazing contrast against the pink skirt. There is nothing like brightening up the cold & dull winter evenings with some bright colors. Whats your verdict people? P.S. Genuine feedback is welcome, nasty criticism is not.   

If you have been inspired by my blog and wish to share your outfit with everyone feel free to email me your photo. If you do not wish for your name to be revealed, you can choose to stay Anonymous.

Lust : Valentine's Day 2012

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. I know, right? We were just shopping for New Year Eve's dress. Anyhoo, I thought I will just throw these things out there (in the interweb). A.L.T.H.O.U.G.H. I do not celebrate these fake-Hallmark-created-days B.U.T. then a girl doesn't need a reason to do some harmless online- window screen-shopping. And then not to forget what a great service I am doing to all poor clueless boyfriends/husbands out there who would be looking for last minute ideas to pamper their girlfriends/wives. 

P.S. Guys, do buy at least minimum of 3 things from a list 'coz lets face it, giving just a lipstick would be so lame and would probably make her more mad than if you did not give her anything at all! #justsaying  

1. Sunglasses 2. Ring 3. Cardigan 4. Scarf 5. Lipstick

6. Tee 7. Belt 8. Clutch 9. Socks 10. Pendant

I am Blue

May be it is a cultural thing, may be it is not but I would not know unless I read your comments but here's what I am talking about: [Disclaimer: I am talking purely about first impressions here and not someone you have known forever and ever!] 

During my trip to India recently, I realized that my version of a 'good person' is very different from the version of most people in my country (or at least the ones I have met in my life so far!). It is not easy to impress me. I do not get bowled over by anyone and everyone. I am not very generous with compliments or praises either <- that I think I got in my genes. I won't tell from which parent though [:P]. So where were we? Oh! ya I was saying I have pretty high (only 'coz they are rare) but simple standards in terms of whom I will call a "good person" upon first meeting. I was able to make a list of what characteristics I consider a "good person" should have: 

My List: 

- Punctual 

- Well mannered, Polite & Respectful

- Greets you pleasantly

- Treats his/her family right and has well disciplined children

- Let's the other person finish their sentence before speaking

- Takes equal initiative in making small talks

- Says Thank You, Excuse Me, & Sorry when required

You've got all this covered? Well, then Congratulations! You are a "Good Person" in my books based upon first impression. 

But there's a different story among my other countrymen:

- Doesn't matter if you arrive late 

- Doesn't matter if you are loud and behave like a borderline drunk  

- No one cares if your children are misbehaving and tearing the place down

- Doesn't matter if you pick all the wrong topics for small talk

- Also, doesn't matter if you bump into people and never apologize

If you wish to be popular with people (who aren't me, of course!) you need to be syrupy-sweet (a.k.a. fake!), must know how to liven up the party, should be an expert at non-sensical conversations and then should have mastered the art of buttering-up the host to no end. Tick? Tick? Tick? Congratulations! You just became the most popular guest and by default a very-very (yes! thats two verys) "good person". 

P.S. The "good person" from my books will probably called snooty, arrogant and/or boring. Go figure!  

We took these pictures while it was drizzling. 

You must commend me for my blogging dedication, right? 

Also, for my photographer's entertainment I broke in to a dance [check: video!].
