Knee-High Boots

Knee - high boots from sixties walks firmly back into our lives for autumn- winter 2011-12. Trendy and easier to wear, OTK boots (over- the - knee ) are chic with a midi skirt, great over jeans and ideal with oversized cashmere and knitted dresses.

Besides the classic black and tan this season also offers different textures and colors.  Prada's multi-tone snakeskin boots, Emilio Pucci's plum velvet designs and Valentino's lace boots are good for inspiration.

Ideal for transitional styling - wear with bare legs in the autumn months, then add tights and leg warmers to ease into your winter wardrobe. Heels, wedges or flats , Knee-high is the length to know when it comes to boots this season.

Janmashthami 2011

This Janmashthami I prepared the regular mithais the way i do it every year. I prepared the coconut burfi, makhana dipped in sugar, makhana kheer, and bheej ki burfi . But all this was not enough to make my 4y old daughter realize how important this festival was for her as it use to be for me when i was a kid. So to make it a really special birthday party for our little Krishna we decided to make something special. Poorva came up with ideas like balloons and streamers , which i would say every birthday party always has, but then a special swing would be the best idea. As soon as it clicked our minds,we were ready with our scissors and glue . I used my old carton from ikea to make the base and one of our gift wraps (also from ikea) to make it look festive. And here we were ready with our beautiful "Jhula"(swing) for our little Krishna.

My Love for puzzle!

 This is my first ever 1000 pcs puzzle . I always wanted to make one since i saw a Harley Davidson's puzzle at a friends place in Gurgaon. Thanks Ranjana and Bhupi....i really loved it and see after so many years i finally did one.... And then there were another set of friends in Charlotte who were pioneers in puzzles....they had all different kinds of puzzles and legos in their house....quite an inspiration for me...... so after a much wait ....i finally bought myself this one . But  i would also give  credit to my daughter , who was so patient with me.
Though i started this puzzle few weeks ago but the last three days on the long weekend were when i got into it ..... quite a satisfaction after completing it and all geared up to do another one:)

One-Of-A-Kind-Chairs

This is my blog after a really long time, almost a month.....all this while i missed blogging and my "me time" a lot.... So as i get back i would like to share something i came across at Anthropologie . Anthropologie has always been my favorite shop in terms of Clothes , furniture , beddings and other small little home decors. This time it is the collection called " Le Versha Chairs ", a collection of garden chairs of colourful flourishes, inspired by the designs of traditional wrought iron fencing. These are designed by a British designer and artist David Le Versha . Hope it freshens your creative instinct as much as it did to me.
