Beach, blender, Cafe himalyan, nepali food, ombre nails, quinoa corn soup

Hello darlings!

I blink and the weekend is gone! Somehow it never seems to apply to the rest of the week :P. But I had a fun week where I did all of the below and more πŸ™‚

1. Β I swear by Quinoa but Prat runs at the sound of it. I don’t blame him; it isn’t the most appetizing thing to hear but try it as a Quinoa corn soup like I did! Home run:)2. Bought a new blender just in time for ’em summer time shakes and smoothies πŸ˜‰Β 3. Finally the beach is inhabitable( barely though) once again with the weather getting better! πŸ™‚ Also those shoes are totally sand inappropriate but they lived πŸ™‚Β 20130413_1654054. I was always under the impression that Nepali food would taste like Indian food. Well I found out at Cafe Himalaya! It does and it doesn’t πŸ™‚20130403_1830265. I saw this last week on pinterest and wanted to try it. But of course I was “busyy”. I NEED to try this out this weekend as soon as I run out of excuses to laze around doing nothing πŸ˜›Happy eventful week ahead πŸ™‚

crochet flats, denim, Florals, Spring, sunglasses

I took “Make hay while the sun shines” a little too literally when we had one warm sunny day this week:P In fact I plead guilty to cramming in almost all my favorite spring time things in one outfit ( Florals, Shorter hemlines, sunnies and crochet flats!) just in case the sun decided to duck again! πŸ˜‰FloralsPS: I am clearly clairvoyant – Now a day later, am back to wearing pewter colored pants and anoraks!:P Sigh

Beauty, Estee Lauder, lily pulitzer, make up

estee_lauderI always knew that Estee Lauder made great cosmetic products, what I probably didn’t know was that sometimes when you buy one of their more expensive creams you end up with a surprise! πŸ™‚ Like this fun printed mini make up bag by Estee x Lily Pulitzer( RIP queen of prep) which came with an eye palette( My first one ever!), concealer( again a first!), mascara, eye pencil and a pretty pink lipstick! Yayy for the freebies πŸ˜€

blazerWhen the weather allows me to get away with just wearing a blazer; I should make it count right? πŸ™‚ Β I am not sure I did, but going a Β little preppy today was fun πŸ˜€

anthropologie, chocolate, cream soda, East Village, FIT shoe exhibition, LA Burdick

Hello World,

Finally life returns to normalcy in Gotham, what with all the sun we are getting πŸ˜›Β Hope you’ll made the most of the weekend because I know I did πŸ™‚ Here’s what went by last week.

1. Indulged my sweet tooth at L.A.burdick. Their hot chocolate is killer!Β image-12. Found this top on sale at Anthropologie..and I love how feminine and “holiday- time” it looks!Β image3. Β SHOE gawker alert!The shoe exhibit currently on show at FIT is a must see πŸ™‚4. It’s always fun to send a pic like this to your mom and hear an earful about how you shouldn’t be drinking alcohol and behaving badly and then watch her eat her words when you tell her it’s just cream soda.. πŸ˜› BTW How yum is cream soda..Β WP_20130329_0025. Trust the “east village-rs” to come up with an installation with an old discarded chair πŸ™‚Β WP_20130403_008Here’s wishing you all a very happy week:D

Sunny side up!

Color, Inspiration, OOTD, Spring, yellow

20130405_082255I somehow cannot get myself to do a selfie; but how can I not share when I finally manage to get some color going in my outfit! πŸ˜€ In hindsight weird angle shots like these help make my ensemble look more interesting then it actually is πŸ˜‰ Happy Friday!

Accessories, Inspiration, Jewelry, recyling outfits, wardrobe

Every morning( today included) I look in my closet and think ” I have nothing to wear to work today”! You’d be lying if you haven’t thought the same at least once if not a hundred times πŸ˜€ Don’t get wrong, I love shopping but buying and piling up more stuff might be just a temporary fix. I am waking up to the possibility of how a fun piece of jewelry/ a new bag/scarf can breathe new life into a plain top πŸ™‚ And what’s more no one will realize how much you recycle! Look at how these baubles add so much interest to your everyday basics πŸ™‚ and tell me if I am wrong πŸ˜‰IMG_3761 IMG_3748 IMG_3725 IMG_3786All tops are available at Pout Boutique

colored pants, Inspiration, men, Spring, Street style

colorHello Everyone!

I managed to beat the flu at it’s game and am back! πŸ™‚ Thanks in part to TLC from Prat, to all your wishes and the rest of the credit goes to the “changing-for-good” NYC weather. You know spring is in the air when colored pants are out full force..:) Take that depressing clunky winter jackets!! πŸ˜€

 

 

Be right back!
