The Monsoon Nail Polish Edit!

Hello my lovely people,

I'm finally back from a mini refreshing vacation and have decided to do a lot of posts this August! I'm doing a happy dance since the past 3 days because 'AUGUST' is my favourite month as it's my BIRTHDAY MONTH !!! 

I was really confused what to post and I kept thinking & while I was getting my nail polish off last evening, an idea popped in my mind! I'm a nail polish hoarder & I hate it when my nails ain't painted. But sometimes it's necessary to let your nails breath.

Since it's monsoon in Mumbai, the weather is gloomy & dull and for me nail polish is a great way of add some colour to the dull life! I find painting my nails very relaxing, sometimes stressful also but would talk about that in another post.

So here are the lovely nail polishes that have made me happy during these rainy days....

Maybelline Color Show in 402 Blackcurrant Pop : If you are someone who isn't into bright shade but still want a colour that pops, this beautiful lilac shade is perfect to match this changing weather.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in 420 Pacific Blue : You can never go wrong with this ocean colour shade. Just one stroke and you are good to go.

NYX Advanced Salon Formula Nail Polish in NPS 214 Creme Glitter : I swear by this copperish rose gold shade! It instantly dresses up your nails and can be worn with every outfit. 

Maybelline Color Show in 215 Keep - up - the - Flame : I love my classic red. Whatever season it maybe, I love my reds & this is the perfect bright reddish orange shade.

Do let me know which shades are you loving currently ??

The Lil Flea ...

“Better late than never.” 

And so rightly said here’s the post on my last year’s (in December to be precise) experience at Mumbai’s own one of a kind weekend flea market, The Lil Flea at the Reclamation grounds, Bandra.

To start with, The Lil Flea is all about art with a perspective, the pulsating creativity and free well. If you are the kind of shopaholic who thinks there is nothing quite as exciting as coming home with a bag of quirky, one-of-a-kind goodies then The Lil Flea is just the place for you. With the mention of a flea market, the term conjures up images of beach side markets across globe with vibrant colors all over, selling some of the most wonderful and enticing knick knacks.

You simply cannot avoid this one !!!

What made me Happy here ??? DREAMCATCHERS ♥

In order to quench the shopping needs of the city's fashion enthusiasts, The Lil Flea is a one-stop destination for the choicest products from various brands spanning across fashion, jewellery, home decor and lifestyle whilst keeping up with latest trends. Colourful tents with fun drapes and lamps, umbrellas hanging upside down, ladder installations with lights and Christmas goodies uplifting the space and giving it a nice cool vibe, pop-up shops showcasing a variety of items such as clothes, footwear, bags, accessories, handicraft, artifacts, arts & craft, antiques, home décor, and the concept of exchanging old books in lieu of another book at free will, that’s something I experienced for the first time and loved the idea. But unlike any other pop-up exhibition selling only merchandise, the flea also had a vibrant pop-up cafe with dozens of booths offering a number of cuisines and street food.

Posing time ... This mint green ladder & these cute jars instantly attracted me !

This cute girl ... I wish I could become a kid again ♥

Making a wish ... At the Secret Santa Tree ♥

Super cute Christmas decorations !!!

The Lil Flea market is definitely not one of the cliche' exhibitions with only merchandise on offer. The Lil Flea has a fun central flea square, right in the middle of the flea - open music zone showcasing live band performances by some local coolest up and coming singers and song writers through the day. The pathways and the layout were such that you can have the freedom to enjoy your time looking at pretty corners, or relax on benches spread throughout the flea to park your shopping bags and grab a bite. You can take a time out and go about clicking snaps and selfies with the number of props and artifacts kept around. I personally loved it. Also you can chill out at the café area sitting on the ground sipping away your cooler, or participate in a smattering of cool and fun workshops, for instance the dream-catcher workshop was just way too cool.

In a nutshell, The Lil Flea offered a lovely setting for the market, an ideal destination for collectors, bargain hunters, music aficionados and fashion enthusiast Mumbaikars who want to soak up the atmosphere.

Don't Forget to Live your DREAMS ♥

How I Spent JANUARY 1st !!!

Hello Guys!!! 

How was your 1^st January, 2014??? I hope you had an awesome day!

It’s often said that what you do on the first day of the year is what you will continue to do all year long. Dunno whether it’s true or not!

Personally I don’t believe in this thought but if it’s really true then good for me coz I slept, ate good food, spent time with family & did a tinny minny workout (walk) &also did some photography 

I thought I would blog on the first day but I couldn’t… "Bad internet connection"… This made me do this post & I had an awesome idea (according to me) to post about what I did on DAY 1, 2014… And it was quite easy because I clicked too many pictures. Right now I'm in train going back how from my vacation! I was in Agra & Rishikesh visiting family!

I was in Rishikesh on the first day of the year, here are some pictures of DAY 1, 2014…
Lemme know what you did!!!
