Va Va voom

That's what I wanna look like!! My hair is totally dated at this point in my life, I have joined the gym so at least my body is going to look banging by summer, My skin has been and always will be hopeless (I'm 26 and I have a 16 year old skin). But hair is something I really need to change up! Ugh! I'm going crazy because I promised my mom I'm not gonna chop my locks before my wedding but c'mon dude we have extensions to tackle that! Anyway I'm super excited for March 8th as Nikhil's brother and his gf are visiting us from Syracuse. Like us they loourve drinking, eating, gossiping and all that.. Now u know why I need good hair (there are going to be many pictures so yeah!) for now this is what I have in mind-

I'm back!

 So I'm back.. I know I've been kinda unprofessional with this blogging business but unlike most of these fashionista bloggers my life is kinda dull.. I have a boyfriend, who has absolutely no interest in fashion.. So getting him to step out with me to take my pictures is pretty much a challenge.. So anyway speaking of challenges, I have a wedding to plan!! Yes I'm getting married at the end of this year and I'm going to share with u guys some of my wedding ideas... The wedding will be a typical maharashrian affair, the whole nine yards (pun intended)..The venue we have decided as of now is the Pune race course and the December winter, horses, amazing marathi food!! Sounds just perfecto! As of now we have crossed out a reception, as I find them highly wannabe.. The whole friends getting up and doing a lil tacky rehearsed dance number, a shit ton of guests you barely know, all that bridal trousseau, loud make up, loud ass lighting and an open bar that the bride and groom cannot enjoy!! Trust me it blows.. Instead I want an intimate dinner in a backyard, constant flow of champagne with close friends and family, awesome music and maybe the bride and groom sneaking away to smoke a toke! Splendid !! I do have a perfect idea of a dinner too.. Some awesome sea food, Sula wine (the real awesome one u get in India)! Oh hey btw the wedding is in India! If all the above words sound cuckoo here is a lil visual to what I want my reception to look like..

Mi Casa

You don't need to spend big $ on decorating your crib, just take stuff you already got, and get creative
There are ones who collect jewelery.. Use it to decorate ur crib
  

Trust me there's more

Then are the ones who hoard clothes


Followed by shoe hoarding

Which may lead to a drinking problem  
 What do u do with all the empty bottles?


Here's a dekko at how I used my trinkets to decorate my living space


Then one fine day you notice you have too many empty boxes! So yo go ahead and glue magazine pages to them and they can hold all your junk, while looking quite kitschy

Everyone needs to have celing thingy's! 

Especially if you have high ceilings, they look  supercute!

There's always a favourite blanky for the winter months while you weep during intervention episodes! Make sure it is a fun print ;)

And tell your man he needs to put his shoes away! Pronto!

Then there are the artists! Go ahead hang your art!

Even if it isn't that great!

la la la

Hello Lovelies,
Hope everyone ad a fabulous weekend, coz i sure did.. I spent most of my weekend drinking like a fish and being water buffalo in the Jacuzzi ! I know I said ill post some pictures sporting the whole bohemian gypsy look, but it rained all weekend and I was freezing so had my peacoat on the whole time and had to abandon my heeled booties for flats (which in turn were freezing my feet) as I did the major style snafu of wearing heels to walk around in the super sloped Eureka spring streets, hence had to to put on my open flats which i bought along thinking it will be warm in the day and then had to spend the whole day being lectured by Nikhil on functionality vs fashion!phew ! Anyway here are a few pics i managed to take anyway
Halter top- some store in Boston, Jeans- Lee ( Bleached in the tub), Head thingy- Necklace from Forever 21 
pinned a necklace in my hair

Peacoat- Pacsun, Tee- thrifted, Jeans- Levis, Flats- Old Navy, Jhola- Bombay Store, Pune
So speaking of bleached denims, Nikhil thought they were too loud (blah blah, what do men know about fashion), they turned out to be quite a show stopper, every girl at the bar asked me where I got them from and all i said is take a pair of old jeans, lay them out in the bath tub and splash bleach all over, leave em out till you get the desired color and Voila!

What would I do without you!

Here's a big shout out to my homegirl, my bestie and my crazy half, "Welcome SONIC- My gin and Tonic"!   Between our stupid ass conversations on Blackberry, countless hours of skyping, smoking countless cigarettes together and connecting virtually more than any two people can connect in reality, we start yet another awesome thing together. Ok! we just have shit loada time on our hands, and Blogging seems to be the hot thing for loners right now so yeah!
Here is her awesome blog http://bad-abing-bad-aboom.blogspot.com/ which is going to keep on changing cosmetically because this girl is cuckoo about template designer, fonts, color layout and shit, Trust me, her blog will be as funny, colorful, crazy.. Ermmm.. lets say something like Zach Galifianakis on Mushrooms.. And speaking of Shrooms
I love you too bad-abing-bad-aboom.blogspot.com/

Sundays Yawn!

Sundays! As a a jobless person, one would refer to everyday as a Sunday.. But I cant decide how I feel about Sundays. Sunday mornings in our apt are typically cozy, I wake up much later than my boyfriend, who is up and awake on Sunday mornings, all clean shaven, shiny and smelling like his Oak Body wash which i <3. I wake up to him working on his laptop, smoking a cigarette and it is right then, when I crave a cup of tea the most. As the day proceeds we both start getting duller. He gets sad about going to back to work the next day and I am overcome by maddening anxiety about my own unemployment. Sundays evenings mark the end of the week (unlike the beginning for many), for me its only the end of yet another week being wasted and things still being the same and time running out!
View from the Basin Park Balcony Bar
Alright my life isn't really that bad, this weekend was aahmazing, I shopped, watched a ton of really good movies (Lost in Translation, Hurt Locker and the fall), Drank peach Absoulut Vodka with OJ, smoked a strawberry cigar, ate kickass Indian food and had a 1 hour long amusing discussion with Nikhil comparing life to the Bigg Boss show where he said, " Big Boss like life has poetic justice". So for now I'm embarking on a new week, with new perspective and new positivity which has been bursting within me lately. I'm also planning a huge romantic weekend with Nikhil to Eureka Springs where we have booked a cute lil jacuzzi suite at the Basin Park and being the hippie place it is, I will dress to my hippiest, drink coffee at the artist colony, buy silver trinkets and will post my hippie pics with my shiny new dslr! which is another exciting thing to look forward to this week. So until then a really hippie peace out to all you lovelies :-*
