PrintAny outfit which does not involve a puffer jacket is worth posting however drab it may be!:D So here you have it, an oversized cocoon coat which was literally sleeping in my closet thanks to a gazillion snow storms, a dress which hasn’t seen the light of the day in about 3 months and stockings… sigh! However the good weather lasted a day and I am back to my old ways… so until it gets better, OOTD posts shall continue to hibernate. ‘appy wednesday! ๐Ÿ™‚

Hello World!

The main reason monday exists is for me to feel really happy about a friday! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I had such a wonderful weekend what with the miraculous good weather and all that but alas it was but a short lived pleasure! I did manage to get some stuff done which I thought I should share!

1. Baked up some quinoa-oat-pumpkin seed granola to snack on the way back from the gym! So easy and tastyย ! ๐Ÿ™‚1391986903051_2. I seldom buy lip glosses, I stick to tinted lip balms or matt lipsticks! But I now know what I have been missing! I just love this fuchsia lip gloss for it’s consistency, easy application and longevity! ๐Ÿ˜€Print3. Started drinking a cup of chamomile tea every night to help me sleep better! Seems to be working so far! ๐Ÿ™‚ย 4. Rewarded myself with a tasty veggie burrito bowl at tres carnes for not missing a single work out day ๐Ÿ˜›ย 20140222_1345595. Visited the trendology exhibition at the FIT museum…ย thanksย in part to the greatย weather and company! Brought a flurry of fashion school memories! ๐Ÿ˜€Here’s wishing you all a wonderful week! ๐Ÿ˜€ Do what you can with what you have, where you are!ย

Think of a pencil skirt as literally as you can and this is what you get! ๐Ÿ˜€ I would have a field day coming up with different ways to style this! And the fact that there are pops of color (pencils) on a neutral background should scare everyone a lot less!:P But the only catch.. It is fromย anthropologie! Which means I am going to need someone to buy me this pleassee!! ๐Ÿ˜€

Tried to keep up with all the great fall clothes down the runway at NYFW!ย 4.

Here’s me on my way to becoming a human popsicle.. Seriously who ordered this terrible weather! ??!ย 1390336987731_Have a super duper week! ๐Ÿ˜€ We’ll get through this one day at a time ๐Ÿ™‚

20140211_203847Maybe it’s the weather or it could be quite possibly a recently acquired hoarding problem! ๐Ÿ˜› But I’ve been on a lip balm buying kick lately… BECAUSE I NEEED TO HAVE one in every bag/room/coat/.. at arms length in short ;)! So there’s the Vanilla Noya, the burt’s bees, a just-average neutrogena, a fancy little nina ricci, a slightly pricey malin+goetz, a tinted one from em, my faithful blistex and a big ol’ tub of vaseline! There are also 2 chap sticks( I had one and forgot about it and got another one :D) ย at my desk at work and an eos mint egg at the bottom of my gym bag that am too lazy to find ๐Ÿ˜› I am also happy to let you’ll know I am still collecting.. because there is no such thing as too much lip balm and the bad weather is staying awhile ๐Ÿ˜› ย So bring on the suggestions and let me know which one is your go-to lip balm! Happy 2-days-until-friday! ๐Ÿ˜€

Anniversary, Beauty, birthday, OOTD, top posts

Hello You’ll,

Somethings are hard to believe.. ย like monday being here already :P. Jokes apart I was actually referring to chasing yellow cabs turning 2!?!:) Feels like I just started this a while back! What started as a self test to really see if I could keep at maintaining aย blog consistently is now a fun platform for me to meet & connect with new people, come up with reasonably entertaining content and of course reading some great blogs in the process! ๐Ÿ™‚ I take this chance to thank all of my readers for their support and prat for giving me blogging ideas when I feel uninspired ๐Ÿ˜€While we are at it, I thought it would be apt toย revisit my 5 top posts from the past year which wordpress tells me were the most read ๐Ÿ˜€ ( in case you missed them ;))

1. How I battled the bulge and won2. A guide to begin and feed your lipstick obsession3. Spring fling4. Weather gets hotter, hemlines get shorter5. Bauble Bar: Simply statementย Have a wonderful weekend ๐Ÿ˜€ and thanks again for taking time to visit CYC ๐Ÿ˜€

Thought for the day!

hair, hair cut, long hair, rant, throwback

I am not sure you’ll remember but I am in the process of growing my hair out, in fact it is the longest( and messiest) it’s ever been! But on the flip side the terrible weather, poor genetics( I have poker straight thin hair.. thanks mom!), getting through shampoo bottles faster ๐Ÿ˜› and chronic fly aways ย have made me share a ย love-hate relationship with it;) It gets in the way when I roll around in bed in my sleep( does this happen to anyone??) and frankly it tires me but I really want to see it through at least until the end of the year to see how long it gets. Which brings us to this picture I chanced upon in my archives while looking for something else..! Carefree short hair. Sigh! I hated how it looked on me then but now I realize what a breeze it was to maintain! My hands are itchy ever since I saw this pic.. it’s a good thing I cant find my scissors ๐Ÿ˜›fly
