I think it was sometime around last month I had taken these photos. It’s been a whirlwind last couple of months especially with my shop. Time goes by really quickly, but more than anything I have been really enjoying it. The pleasure that you get from doing something you are really passionate about certainly doesn’t come from any job, that’s how it’s been with me at least. So a little life update, for those you who follow my blog or my Instagram might know that I am a vegan, being a vegan opens your brain to a lot of new things. I’ve been particularly moved by how human race is impacting the planet. The stats are crazy trust me! It’s shocking to see how we are impacting the planet knowingly and unknowingly. So I have decided to live as organically as I can. I am going to try and not use plastic as much as I can and I am not going to shop new clothes now. I am going to try and buy second hand clothes (if you are not sure how buying second hand can help the planet, read this), I don’t think it’s going to be very difficult for me because I thrift shop anyway. The only thing I am going to invest is in a pair of good jeans and shoes. They are very difficult to thrift in India. I am really excited about this and it’s very satisfactory to think that I am going to help the planet in whatever little way I can.

Coming to the outfit – these were last few days of summer when I shot this and realised I haven’t worn enough skirts and dresses – I have been such a jeans person this summer! Suddenly I was experiencing that urge to wear all skirts and dresses I have and this turned out to be my favourite transitional season outfit!

Polka dot shirt is thrifted, skirt is from Zaful, jacket is from H&M and shoes are from New Balance!

Oh hello there! How have you been? I’m sure some of you know that I’ve been fan of all things nail-paints for a long time and I can be often seen doing an impulsive happy dance with my new bright nails. I’m so pleased with all the hand-thrown goodness served up by POLISH Nail Spa. If it also tickles your fancy, find more about them here.

Special thanks to Gurbani of Spangle Street to arrange this amazing Sunday for all Chandigarh bloggers. With fellow bloggers around, the experience could be nothing but amazing. It was a great opportunity to pamper ourselves and have fun! So, about the experience – I’m more of a power polish kind of a person (pretty nails for at least 15 days! NO CHIPPING) so I chose that with nail art on top! But you get a lot of other options to choose from like Spa Pedicure and Manicure, Permanent Nail Art, Gel Overlays and Nail Extensions. I was getting this done for the first time and I loved it. Also, when I’m using someones services for the first time, specially skin related – I can be a little crazy about hygiene – but I was so happy and relaxed to see the staff in their proper clothes, absolutely clean workstations, technicians wore masks, machines and instruments were clean and the place was very well maintained.

My nail technician Martha was really nice and professional. She started the whole process with cleaning my nails, cuticle pushing and filing. After cleaning, she started with the base coat. It took me a while to decide the nail art and then I finally decided to get almost nude colour nails with the hint of glitter on top. I totally love it. I think it suits my personality and reflects many things about it. Martha did a fantastic job and artfully applied the glitter. I love how the whole look came out, I couldn’t stop staring at hands.

What could be more perfect then getting yourself pampered this festive season? Delicious results with minimal effort! It’s win win, really! 🙂

Here are a few pictures 🙂
