A Present.

There are posts that you think of and publish them in a jiffy while there are some that lie in your drafts just because you can't express them right. This is one such post.

Its hard to find someone whose had an association with you professionally and still manages to make a significant impact and I consider myself really lucky to have found one even though it was for a mere 8 months. I feel blessed to have found such encouraging seniors at my workplace that shower me with ideas, support, encouragement & the occasional whacks to set me right! I must have done something terribly right in my last life !
Unfortunately my boss *Honestly i find this word too harsh & its usually thought as someone whose born to screw your happiness.. It sounds better to refer to him as the Creative Director of the Company* quit the job and on his last day, he left a present on my desk.

Marchesa Fall 2011

Since the last few seasons, Marchesa's designs have been so beautiful almost heavenly but it has come to a standstill. Its almost as everytime i end up saying "Its so Marchesa, so typical of them! ". This time around though there is a change. A minor one but a change did take place. With the tulle voulme that they love to do season after season, there was an introduction to structure. Leg of mutton sleeves in Wrap Dresses, leather cut into lace were some new additions which I am guessing is a welcome change!

Done to death.
Yet so pretty!

Dior Fall 2011 .. The show must go on.

When John Galliano Creative Director & Designer at the house of Dior was sacked it was obvious the news would spread like wild fire. It came as a shock to every single soul who has ever known John. I hope he recovers soon, it cannot be the end of another great designer. Whoever will replace him at Dior will have to fit into some really big size shoes.

Dior's Fall 2011 collection was food for the media to aniticipate a new plot in this drama.  But the show went on and I have to admit, it is one of my fav shows in the entire season.

Starting with the colours used.. so rich and luxe. A shade of blue has picked up great attention in this season. I like it call " Oceanic" . Deeper shades of maroon, grey, blue & greens with their pastel versions formed Dior's colour palette.

050311 :D

5th of March happened to an awsome day !
First because my weekend starts on a saturday *Enough reason to thank the universe*
I finally saw "THE BLACK SWAN"
And the biggest was when i found the song that i have been searching since soo long !

The weekend that just went by was highly awaited because i hadn't had a day off since 2 weeks! How much ever I love my job, i need a Sunday to keep my sanity in place ! I can't work like a mad woman!

The Black Swan:
I can't find words to tell you how brilliant, amazing,thought provoking, real, crazy, scary and everything the movie is ! Natalie Portman had a tuff role to play and she broke all barriers of the performance. Hard to imagine if anyone could put a better act than her. It took a while before Nina could get out of my system. Absolutely Fantabluous !

Mila Kunis who plays the role of Lily in the movie has an interesting plot too. She was the perfect casting. With the face she has, she can dance like a virgin ballerina and with the same intensity kick someone's ass that hard !










And then the day ended with HUGE surprise!
I FINALLY found the track that i had been looking out for since the time Sex and The City I released
Its the most awsomest song ever !  I owe you one K !

You know you are

You feel it in your heart

And your burning and wishin

At 1st wait,it won't be on a plate

Your gonna work for it harder and harder

And I know cause i've been there before

Knockin on door with rejection

And you'll see cause if its ment to be

Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

[Chorus]

It's amazing its amazing all that you can do

Its amazing it makes my heart sing

Now its up to you

Patience now frustration in the air

And people who dont care

Well its gonna get you down

And you'll fall (fall)

Yes you will hit a wall

Get back up on your feet

And you'll be stronger and smarter

And i know i've been there before

Knockin on door wont take no for an answer

And you'll see cause if its ment to be

Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

It's amazing its amazing all that you can do

Its amazing it makes my heart sing

Now its up to you

Now I can die peacefully.



Manish Arora Fall 2011 Paris

The season is in full swing with new collections being screened within minutes from every fashion capital of the world. My eyes were sore to see Manish Arora and I guess my expectataions from him have risen beyond the sky  and probably thats why I didn't seem to enjoy his Kaleidescope of a collection this time around. Of every collection that we have all seen, this one seems to be the subdued one. On a macro scale, the collection has received some great reviws with celebrities like Kayne West gracing the front row.



I Don't do Clingy ! :D

I am at work and i have come across awsomeness :D
Watch this !
Its just the outrageous sass you need when you are over and out !

How often do you come across a page like this in a Magazine ?

Absolutely nothing can overpower the might of a print.

What would life be without your monthly dose of Vogue,Elle,Harpers

 however good/bad/ugly/boring they are?

No word written in the above sheet can be argued upon

.Period.

Where you should be

 Where You Should Be: Skream by AlexandriaMarcela

Now this one has memories .. recent ones .. but beautiful ones.

Where there is silence.
Where your the people who matter are.
Where no word can explain what you feel.
Where they know what you are feeling without the sound of a breathe.
Where you feel welcomed even when there are no arms to hold
Where you should be. 

Dressing it up

A classic case of a random night of boredom landing up into a bunch of clicks. Dressing it up !

Wearing:

Dress: BRFL (Our creation)

Booties (Zara)

Feather chain (Twisted,Inorbit)

Beaded satin neckpiece (Westside)

P.S. I need a Professional camera now ! Like NOW !

And there is also this ...

A continuation to my last post, there can be two songs in life at the same time too



How can you not like this track ?
Bruno Mars.. Thumbs Up!

After an act of Disappearance...

If you have been trying to follow this space you would notice my sudden bursts of absence and this time I have a valid excuse! Not that i want to find an excuse from running away .. its just that work is getting the best for me and what remains is plain body ache and the desire to sleep .. !

Anyhow life is too short for excuses and Ladies & Gentlemen you know I am NOT going anywhere :D

At any given point of life there is a song. THE SONG.
Right now is Tool 10,000 days Wings for Marie.



Sheer bliss.
