Inspiration

SO I have been fairly busy running errands which seem to take forever. Mostly to do with University Exams and school..chaperoning little ones hither and thither. Myself included. That would explain the blog flow that is currently on a lapse and moving and hauling suitcases about is another inconvenience to blogging.


That said.. Outfit posts are the last thing on my mind right now though there's this fiery red dress Ive been wanting to prance around in while the cam goes click,click,click. I will get to that soon before my classes weigh me down. Ive noticed how the parka has taken center stage so now I need me a parka.. over sized will work best for this tiny frame, for that breezy leverage. Preferably gray or black. Well... Fall season? You're gonna have to step it up and get here soon.


Here are pictures that have been a source of inspiration for FOREVER.. they're usually rotated about for my desktop background. So yeah still cant stand the idea of a bare post with no visual eye candy. And BTW Ive teamed up with fellow blogger Audrey of befrassy.com..note the banner on the right side o' my blog, who's got an amazing knack for mixing separates. So go have a looksey .. you're sure to find great pieces there.


 
stockholmstreetstyle



The first two pictures from stockholmstreetstyle have stayed with me for a long time now.
You look at the outfit or the separate pieces that make the outfit...and you cant fail but to notice at the intelligent and cohesive blending. You catch details and go 'oh' and 'hmmm' and sort of delve into how people portray their individual take on a slouchy furry coat..or a nerd glass but that lady up there is probbly wearing prescriptions. I look at it and I feel like patrolling the streets wearing something that would drag along with me like the above.. Maybe the parka would cater to just that. The second image no doubt propelled this ongoing  inclination to buying items that are nudey.. tangy nudey..pink nudey..gray nudey. Then color wise.. I went all peachy.. coral shrimp. Enough with color naming now.


The last image is, one of many favourites by Tommy over at jakandjil. Danielle Steel and daughter Vanessa Traina... The power shoulders had caught on.. blazing head on actually. The first thing that caught my eye about this picture was the floral dress and the frenzy of activity that is captured, like a race against time. The shot is perfection for me. So anyhooo.. will try and get going with more posts soon. Buhbye.

Dalki and I are gonna take on the world

My preoccupation with all things cute and animated will never cease.
And with that said, HERE is my Dalki bag!
Dalki means 'strawberry' in Korean, yes, a cartoon character. 
She is described as " especially interested in unique fashion style. She sometimes creates accidents and troubles, however she also troubleshoots troubles of others. She likes boy friend, Water Melon, however she also ignores him and is very capricious. " SO thats who DALKI is, if you were wondering. OH she believes she has telepathy. Geeeeee. I sense an uncanny resemblance.


Oh well. There's me getting snapped about in the neighbourhood. Dalki and me running the day's errands. Slightly uncomfortable though. There was this man sitting nearby who seemed completely baffled at the sight. Anyhoo dressing up is so much fun when you have this sort of whimsical add on. 


And thats Dalki on my Msn DP :D



And here you have ze meshy skirt. I am irrevocably in love with it. I got it just before I left home..along with my Dalki bag. A definite score and I can't recall whether I did a jiggle at the thrift store when i got my hands on these.. which I deem would be appropriate when you support the saying that fashion should be whimsical and fun. Thats Marc Jacobs for you. Hmmmm.. OK coming back to the skirt, feels like you're wearing a tutu..so call it my gramma tutu skirt because its not your average tutu clearly. 


And now I'm off to bed. Buhbyee. Oh and Dalki and I are definitely gonna take on the world!

SO I went and bought them Zara brogues. I had to, because they were grey with floral details, like they were sprinkled on top. It was perfect.
Pretty NO? I just GRABBED it as soon as i saw it. Literally. 

OHH. Miu Miu influence all over. NOTED. There was this top that had a tiny cat print on it, and instead of the sharp drop collar, it had a peter pan collar. The sleeves could have been more structured, or they could have done better with no sleeves at all.
Bumped into lovestruckcow at the store. Know what, I had a gut feeling I would see you that day. No shit :P
Sorry I was so nervous and petrified, but it was lovely to see you again!

OHH and I solemnly acknowledge and thank you for the feature over at the Indian Express. Won't mention names but you know who you are if you're reading this. Sorry I was, again so nervous during the interview via phone. If you didn't notice, I really was. Heh.

Back in the capital. Weather's a kill on overdrive...slugger posts ahead.
