Shawl Season

Nothing much to talk about these days, other than the cold weather and I don't want to start my 'how harsh this winter is' rant, 'cause I know by now, you and I, have been bored hearing about it! One good thing about this weather is that, I have started putting in a lot of thought in dressing-up. Basically, different ways to perk up the same old sweater, pull-over look and also staying right on track of my shopping ban and reinventing theme. There are not a lot of occasions these days to go out and seriously speaking, I am not in a mood to shop in this dreary weather. So well, saving money has been a pro of this harsh winter season (same cannot be said for the heating bills, I am sure :))

Anyhow, cold weather calls for cozy accessories. A floral shawl is a perfect accessory to the same old sweater-and-jeans look. I bought this shawl from my trip to Dalhousie last year. The shops there are stocked with luxurious pashminas in vibrant colors, right enough to ban the cold-weather blues. For all you based out of India, there are pashminas available readily in department stores these days. Throw on a supple cashmere scarf for a polished pop of color.

Well, in today's post I wanted to style the pashmina, and show different ways to wrap it. The second one - over the shoulder- has to be my fave.....what's yours?

Snow and The City

We are having a really harsh winter this year and it's been all over the news lately. Right from people in cafe shops to grocery stores, everybody's chanting the 'How we hate the winter' song! I mean it's making headlines all over the world..almost all of the US is snowed in every weekend or the other (and I am not talking about the Calfornians here).

As a fashion blogger or let alone as a normal person, stepping outside house has become a cranky task. The cabin fever is real people! And it has hit everyone of us on the east coast. Other than binge TV-series watching on Netflix or HBO GO, and gorging on some much-needed carbs nothing keeps going on the weekends.

Well, lucky me, this weekend we met some of our friends for lunch. Much needed socializing in this snowy weather. I took inspiration from one of my fave fashionable TV-series and now a movie - Sex and The City. Carrie Bradshaw dresses up in this somber colors with a pop of scarlet red around her neck. A sweater and a scarf is pretty much the uniform now so getting more creative in it, is an added bonus for dressing up. Booties, neon-striped gloves and a puff-coat completed the look.

P.S.: Shooting in the snow was fun until I took of the puff-coat. Then it was like, let's just get it over and and get in the car :P

P.P.S.: My neon-striped gloves and techno-friendly. What it really means is that, I can access and use my iphone's touchscreen without taking them off! Whoever thought of it and made them is simply a genius!

We went on a stroll by the frozen lake on our way back; scenic as it looks it was super-windy and chilly. But we had some fun pelting snows-stones on the lake and seeing them slide by!

New Year, New Look

New Year has started with a barrage of snow, wind and chills. So staying put at home is the smartest decision anybody including me could make. I have been venturing out only for absolutely necessary reasons (believe me going out at this time is one difficult thought!) and when I do its usually in yoga-pants, tee, hoodie, jacket, scarf and running sneakers. Rarely have I moved away from this dress-code; its become more like a uniform. This and an occasional change of bright-colored sweater/pullover (like the one below) and jeans so that I look socially-acceptable in this horrid weather.
Polar vortex, snow storms and what not, don't ask. I am just waiting (more so like hibernating) it out and hoping for more warmer days to come. On a brighter note, the days are getting longer and we have few mins of sunshine during after-office hours.

And hey, also I had a new haircut. More so like a new look. Most of the times in past, I have always decided to grow out my hair and by six months I am done and chopped them off. And that's exactly what I did this time too. I will grow them out in a single length this time (hopefully!).
What do you think of this new look?
