As much as I love adding color to my wardrobe there are some days when an all black outfit is the only way to go.Black outfits are incredibly work appropriate especially for those days when you have a big meetings or a important presentation to give.During the recent Christmas sales I picked up a few classic all black items at [...]
I have been on the lookout for a very specific type of maxi dress-Ideally I wanted a maxi dress which wasn’t cut too low in the front (or back) but at the same time wasn’t shapeless or baggy and I wanted all this under the $25 price point (I don’t wear maxi dresses too often and [...]
In college I wore a lot of Forever21, Charlotte Russe,Target T-shirts.When I switched gears and moved into professional life,I cleaned out my closet and tossed a lot of my college wear.When it comes to professional wear I have a lot of clothes but things like work-out wear,weekend wear,jeans,basic T-Shirts are some items which are missing from my [...]
Perfect Fit Mixed Tape Cardigan I don’t have any long sleeved-long cardigans-Most of my cardigans are shorter and hit at the waist. A cardigan which is longer is a very versatile wardrobe item-It can be worn casually-with jeans and a T-shirt or it can be worn with a pencil skirt and a button down for [...]
Its been raining non-stop for the past two days.Here is a rainy day outfit idea and my interpretation of how I would style it using things I already own. Own-Black leather jacket- I never bought into the leather trend,other than one black dress which has leather details I dont own any leather clothing items but I do have plenty [...]
I picked up quite a few pieces during the Talbots sale.When I placed my online order the Kimono top was something I was really excited about but in real life the sleeves are super loose and the top is very boxy. The print on the top is pretty and the colors are a vibrant sea foam green/blue but [...]
Oxblood Red, Violet,Purple,Amaranthine, Amethyst, Lilac, Magenta,Plum, Wine-No matter what hue of this rich shade you like- invest in a few items of clothing in this shade I think violet and chartreuse are perfect for fall.They are like mint during summer-Mint, might or might not be the hottest shade of the season but you can never go wrong when you wear mint [...]
I have always been slightly squeamish about swimming in community pools but after Ryan Lochte’s big announcement during the Olympics, I can safely say I am going to be staying away from pools for awhile. While I might not go swimming,I do love hanging out by the pool-My favorite summer beach/pool bag was a Large Jelly Tote from Ann Taylor.It combined two summer [...]
Summer means flip flop season.For most of the summer if I wore flip flops outside- It was probably these super cute bow ones from Ann Taylor. They came in a slew of rainbow hues and I picked up super bright cheery pink ones.Between the bow detail and the happy girlie fuschia pink color-they were my favorite shoe [...]
After a crazy week, it was a relaxing weekend-I has a lot of down time which allowed me to think and make a major decision,which I had been postponing for quite awhile now-I am going to take the GMAT and start studying for the same from 1st September.The upcoming week is going to be spent [...]
Ann Taylor is having their friends and family sale which means 30% off all items.Here are my top picks. Nothing is more classic than a simple sheath dress in a warm taupe color-The scoop necks adds an element of interest and this is a perfect piece to incorporate into ones work wardrobe. There is something so whimsical and [...]
By this time next week I would be all packed and ready to head to the airport.The days have flown by and I am looking forward to relaxing and unpacking in my own apartment,catching up with girlfriends and getting back into my daily routine.Somewhere along the line, Uncle Sam’s land has started to feel like [...]
Once you have cleaned and sorted your wardrobe into keep , donate and maybe piles-its time to evaluate your wardobe as a whole- What closet essentials are missing in your wardrobe? What do you have too much of? What have you disposed off and now need to replace? I am going to go through each item on the list above and annotate the [...]
I had placed an online order at Ann Taylor because I wanted the Ballet Maxi Skirt in a Tall Size and Ann Taylor stores don’t carry Tall Sizes.As usual when I hopped over to the website things other than the skirt caught my eye.I also had stopped by their store and picked up a few [...]
Friday night I and my best friend have a girls night out planned-On the menu are appointment’s with Sephora makeup artists (I need a new moisturizer and a toner), a mani-pedi,some chilled out fruit smoothies and a shopping session to find things which are on my travel list (I kid you not -I have a [...]
For awhile now I have been thinking about writing this post but between taking the GMAT,the craziness that is life and finding the right words to convey what I wanted to say, this post kept getting pushed back.But now that the GMAT is behind me and things have stopped being so crazy, I have a feeling that [...]
I spent the weekend at a leisurely pace getting settled in.After a month of not having to do any cleaning,laundry or grocery shopping there is part of me which has gotten lazy about chores but I am slowly getting back into the swing of things.My fridge is stocked, the laundry basket is semi-empty,the suitcases have [...]
There is something about India that grounds me; Its reminds me of who I am and where I am from. Everywhere I turn, there is history -the playgrounds where I played hopscotch as a kid,the exact spot where my bicycle collided with a car and I ended up with a scar on my elbow,the schools [...]

I am looking forward to kicking off the heels in favor of some comfortable osho’s (Indian flip flops),spending time unwinding with my family,catching up with an old [...]
