Laced in memories

'Pack light,' they say. 

I'm one of those people who carries her world in her bag. You never know when you'll need what okay? But for the recent trip to Ooty, I decided to keep it minimal. I packed light. Ok maybe not light, but it was lighter than what I usually do. I played smart by taking outfit changing pieces, versatile ones, lots of necklaces and accessories to dress the same outfit differently etc. It worked. 

I ended up not having to carry a heavy bag, but at the same time didn't compensate on my style. Of course I even had enough space to push in some shopping. 

This look is the evening look of the first day. I was supposed to do the morning one first but look at the gorgeousness of this lace top and the necklace, and my darling shoes. Not to forget the awesome background. I wore the gray top and black knee length cotton pants through the day and changed the other details on the outfit. 

Since this look was for the evening and we were just roaming around sightseeing, I decided to wear lace. Lace can be very dressy which is perfect to add to a simple outfit like this. Of course the gorgeous gold accessories made my work easier. 

Can we just take a few moments to talk about Stalkbuylove? Along with great collections, they now have a customization option. What I'm wearing in this post was customized for my size. So the top fits me perfectly! How amazing is that? No more size woes. Also, you guys must check out their accessories. The necklaces are to die for. Of course, the new collection is pretty amazing too.

On a side note, kudos to all those working people who manage to post often. During the course of this internship, I have realized what actually goes behind it. And, OMG. 

Also, I'm not apologizing for the lack of posts, but I am going to post like crazy after the internship. I have so much to share with you'll :* 

*Kisses*

Weave it, Werk it

The internship has begun. I have to say, Journalism isn't what you think it is when you'e a kid. And the next time someone says: 'Oh, you're doing an internship in a newspaper? That must be fun, do you do work?' I WILL PUNCH THEM. Trust me. 

The best part about internships is that you get to see what each profession is like before you actually get into it entirely. So it's a great learning experience. 

I shot this outfit during the exams with the intention of blogging. But, I just got loaded with so much work that I couldn't. The outfit is rather subtle for my likes. I mean, I played around with the hair as I always do, and kept the rest of the outfit rather basic because I've been into plain things lately. I think it's something I'd wear to a flea market. Or the likes of it.

MAX Fashion has a great range of Spring/Summer clothing. It's super colourful, and very seasonal. You must check it out. Found some lovely pieces. From printed pants to colourful crop tops and jackets. Even their kurtis are really nice. 

 However, I wish they had bigger sizes. Hoping they hear this and try do something about it! A couple of friends have been saying the same to me too, after they checked out the collection.

Her dream was now reality

She took a step into the light. It was a new path, uncharted territory. She looked at the Frangipanis as the sun pierced her hazel eyes. 

She had no makeup on. Not a hint of pink or blue. Bare, yet clothed in maroon. The light dancing through the strands of brown and black on her head. Long chains dangled from her neck and hit against each other making music. Her nails were painted pink and mauve and stood boldly against the black geometric print wallet she clutched. 

The uncut grass poked her feet, but she walked on, in search of the dream. Slowly she began running towards the forest. The animals passed her, unable to get through the bubble she'd formed with her power. A nasty blue creature tried to snatch her chains but she blew it away with goodness. 

She ran without a break, the magic clasped tightly in her palm. 

Then it was there. The ray of hope. Her dream lay right in front of her sparkling in all its glory. She crawled towards it with all her might. Her knees bristled against the hard surface and blood oozed. Her eyes were red with pain and struggle. But her lips curved into a smile.

 It was over. The struggle. 

Her dream was now reality.

Let The Anchor Be

Hello there,

I'm writing this post as I pack my bags and throw in some last minute essentials like shades and a hat. Yes, I'm off for a weekend getaway. A short one at that. I'm currently running all around my room and it looks nothing less than a mess. Trying to get everything ready and catch some sleep which I know won't happen. I blabber too much. YES? NO? Okay, don't tell me :P 

Thought I should show you this outfit before I scoot. It's pretty simple actually. Something I might consider wearing to the internship minus the makeup. Very writer-yy. Know? Must be the least I've spoken in a post. I'll let the outfit speak for itself? 

Outfit details:

Navy Anchor Print Shirt: c/o ZOVI 

Tee Shirt: Zara

Pants: Local boutique

Necklace: Flea market

Sunglasses: Aldo

Make up: c/o Joseph Dosh from Givenchy

Cannot imagine summer without the coolers. May the universe bless them. :P

I Found Magic

Each page opens up a new world,

world that tells you a story

Every word leaves impressions,

impressions that pass the test of time

Living and breathing in between the lines,

lines that offer you comfort and ecstasy

 Drawing you in for endless hours,

hours spent away from reality

Being a friend and lover passionately,

passionately teaching you lessons unsaid 

Filling barren spaces on your shelves,

shelves that would otherwise bring an uncanny emptiness 

An immortal fire burns,

burns hidden desires and unleashes radical thoughts

A four letter word is all,

all of the universe in its palm

Changing lives with magic,

magic that touches them eternally

I can't begin to describe the relationship I share with books because it is truly unlike any other human relationship. It's something beyond words, beyond feelings and emotions. It's above expectations, above trust and above material bonds.

I don't need to ask them to stay, because I know they will.

Without asking them to help me through tough times, they offer their worthiest advice.

I've never asked them to make me laugh or cry, but they never disappoint. 

Books are more than just pieces of paper held together with a string. 

They are life.

P.S: There goes another attempt at describing my relationship with books through words and some lines I penned down quickly.
