Happy Birthday, yo

What is it that you look most forward to on a friend's birthdays? I could tell you that a large part of it involves dressing up and looking pretty for the party. Also, the joy on your friend's face when she unwraps her gifts to find things she absolutely adores. The gastronomical reasons are not far behind. (Yes, I'm a self confessed foodie) It was my friend's birthday and we went to a place called 'Fireflies' where Cosmos and Fire wood pizzas were the order of the day. Endless chatter, a gorgeous birthday cake, lots of gifts, lots of pictures and a lot of promises for our last year together were on the agenda. Check all. I absolutely love birthday parties. Don't you?

I wore a black tube dress with ruffles at the top from Dotti and a flower brooch to give it that extra spunk. I wore a string of pearls and chains across my chest...uhmm..I don't know why :) It just seemed to complete the look. My favourite part? The polka dot net stockings. They came in the most gorgeous box of Leona Edmiston and are more commonly called the 'opal tights'. Paired that with my black booties and a dash of blue and silver sequins in the clutch from Forever New.

I'm anticipating more experimenting with the hair this season. Poker-straight might be an all time favourite but there's nothing like a cute side ponytail or a frivolous braid with some hair accessories. Also a must try this season: The chignon for that French, dainty look.

Beret style

Hi folks! :D
My internship is over and I can very proudly say that it was an enormous success. Coming back to Uni after a month full of bringing sexy back, literally :) Difficult to say the least. Girlfriends and I have shopped everyday of the last one week, gone out for lattes and cheesecakes, drinks and italian yummies, mall hunting and sheesha-ing(yes, thats what we call it :) ).
Forever New being one of my most favourite places to shop did not disappoint me when I wanted a lovely beret for the grey Delhi winters. This is also when I chanced upon the lovely LookBook which you saw here. I wore the lovely off-white beret which has an embellished bow at the front with a black and white off-shoulder shirt from Paper Scissors-an Australian store I absolutely adore for their very trendy and innovative clothing. Needless to say, I am hearting berets and tweeds and fedoras this season. Are you?
Tell me what you think :)

Share the love! :)
XOXO

Forever New India Lookbook

Hello hello and then some.
I love myself and my punctuality on weekends. No, seriously. Two posts in 2 days. Good job, A Lot Like Fashion. I have been ranting about my exciting life in Delhi what with my internship and chilling with friends post that. Incidentally, there have been some very productive results of this wanderlust too. Shopping, for instance. I have time and again, praised the Lords for sending Forever New to India. More than Forever 21, maybe. Yes, I said it. But personally, Forever New is iconic for people like me, fashion tastes like mine. Dressy and ultra feminine. Maybe it comes from the love of Australian fashion. So having shopped at Forever New the other day (what did I buy? I'm not telling you, not until I wear it one of these days ;) ), I picked up a copy of their lookbook India, Fall-winter 2010 and you gotta love it. Whats better, I'm going to share the lookbook with you right here :) Yay! :D

Which ones do you like?
Tomorrow is the school reunion. I can barely wait. Its the first one I'm attending in 4 years of having passed out of high school. There, I'm ranting again.
Surprise still under wraps :)
XOXO
