A Century and a Giveaway! (** Update: Giveaway now closed **)

Ta da..This is my 100th post, people! Yes, One Hundredth! Can you believe it? Feels odd that I have been writing for so long and that I have reached the mile marker 100. I was never really into writing you see; not the writer-types, but I am more of the talkative-types. So, well who knew I would be writing for so long?!

Most of the times, the writing has been about my thoughts, adventures, experiences - both good and bad, and the meh ones..and sometimes it has been as curt and straight-forward as this. But nevertheless throughout this journey I have surprised myself, my mom (she couldn't identify with her child who took to writing out of nowhere) and many of you, my friends and readers.

So before I go on and on, on how I have come to be writing this 100th post, let me get to the celebrations part of this post where you, YES you can actually win something! My most fave retail website - Groopdealz and I have have come together for a GIVEAWAY to celebrate this momentous occasion.


Groopdealz is a daily boutique deals website and they are giving away a 25$ gift card to Target! Now who doesn't shop at Target, tell me? And by shopping I don't mean the daily grocery stuff, I am hinting towards the occasional unplanned stroll down the shoes, bags, accessories aisles (I would also add the home décor aisle to this list ;)).
I am so glad to have paired up with one of my fave brands and as you may know many of my accessories in the posts here, here and here have been from this darling website. If you are looking for the fancy-shmancy necklaces, earrings, bags, and home décor stuff for an unbelievably economical price then you know you have head to Groopdealz.

Blog Birthday with a Pop of Pink!


Last week I celebrated my blog's birthday quite pompously! I blogged non-stop for four days (phew! that was a marathon..hats off to the bloggers who post daily) and then on the B-day I had a small cupcake party with my blog staff aka my photographer aka my husband! To tell you the truth, between work, house and blogging I was kinda feeling deadbeat to even dress for the evening. And so the easy answer to that was a pop of pink.
Pink blazer is such a fantastic pop of color! And a perfect compliment to it is stripes. When I think I have too much of color on my hand (or one me), I play it down with either stripes or polka-dots.
**StyleTip: A colored blazer is a go-to item for days when I feel lazy to think about putting an outfit together or matching patterns/color schemes. The blazer is especially welcome for spring days; when the temps are not-so-warm and not-so-cold – just somewhere in-between. 
We met in the town center for a quick sweet-treat which was followed by a spicy pani-puri (spicy Indian snack) hogging session at home. The cupcakes (red-velvet and devil's food) were oh-so-delectable! My staff was so happy with this treat and when I gave him a bonus with a peck on the cheek, well, I made his day :)
Enjoy the pictures from the blog's birthday revelries! 

P.S.: Have you entered the fabulous giveaway yet? Hurry 'cause it ends on Wednesday, May 1st.
