monichrom3However much we wish for things to be in black and white, unfortunately it seldom turns out that way – there are several large areas of grey to contend with.. poignant much? ๐Ÿ˜‰ ย Anyway I was trying to come up with something clever to describe my outfit and erm..what do I say .. that’s all I got on a tuesday ๐Ÿ˜› Happy day!ย

Hello earthlings,

If mondays were shoes, they’d be crocs! ๐Ÿ˜› But just because you don’t like them, doesn’t mean they aren’t going to be around:P Anyway I had such a busy week and really looked forward to some me-time . In between periods of doing nothing, I did manage to sneak the below in there ๐Ÿ™‚

1. Best thing about cooler weather? Layering. Yes but I am thinking soups! And when you have some time on your hands, try making a dumpling soup from scratch! Its totally worth getting flour everywhere ๐Ÿ˜›ย 2. If you have no idea what a highlighter pencil, you are excused, because I had no clue what it was either until this one came in the mail. I’ve been ODing on youtube videos trying to figure out the best way to put this Chella highlighter pencil to good use ๐Ÿ˜€ย 3.ย Halloweenย decorations are already out andย aboutย in myย neighborhood! Clearly my favorite time of the year:)ย 4. Dug into a calorie laden plate of kuzhipaniyaram – a south indian delicacy at Anjappar! Sorry not sorry ๐Ÿ˜‰ย 20130912_1357265. Some people are just born with great skin, the rest of us try to get by faking it! ๐Ÿ˜› But finally my endless search for a product that would help my skin from within has ended with this DIY Vit C serum! It really does work!ย Happy day and happier week! ๐Ÿ™‚ย

monochrome3Knit maxi skirts aren’t really home turf for me. They can be clingy and highlight areas that have enjoyed abundance of non- activity ๐Ÿ˜› But add a fold-over waist band and that changes the equation entirely.. take that tummy! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Obviously because I was trying something for the first time I chose to not complicate things and kept everything else simple but on afterthought I did pile on a few chains to add some interest!Happy friday folks!ย

redGood news for those of you who have always been terrified of committing the “frowned upon” faux pas* dramatic music plays* of matching lips and nails….;) because that is about to change people – matchy matchy lips and nails are now a thing!From the runway to celebs everyone’s sporting perfectly matched pairs! Also what fun it is when what is once frowned upon becomes mainstream and then shunned again in a never ending vicious cycle!:P

PS: Incase you are asking me if lazy-me is happy about this trend? Ah well I will be, the day chipped nails are in ๐Ÿ˜›

monochrome1Blame it on the change in weather for this new series.. but everyday when I pick out my clothes I seem to gravitate towards black, white and shades of grey:D Not that I am complaining.. after piling on all the color, a monochrome palette may be just what I need, kind of like a cleanse after a major binge. ๐Ÿ˜› Anyway just a heads up that you’ll be seeing a lot of B/W broken by hints of colored accessories! ๐Ÿ˜€ I open with this polka all black number paired with a slinky grey vest!taadaaa! ๐Ÿ˜€
