This Christmas, Primark, a European fast fashion retailer, launched a replica of gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent boots. And being a budget fashion chain, Primark sold them in an extremely affordable price. One can only dream about owning haute couture and designer blings, unless they are Hollywood celebrities or very well off. Hence, I decided to make do with this gorgeous alternative (as if I had any other choice :p) Despite my initial dubiety about parading them around in the dusty streets of Kathmandu and my general dislike for heels, they turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and were a definite eye-turner. For this post, I decided to keep them as the center of attention, with minimal clothing and accessories. I wore a slit tunic with this denim jacket and a simple pair of black trousers for a fuss-free look.  Here are the pictures: This is not a bracelet, it's a crystal stone necklace, which beautifully balanced the texture of the denim jacket....

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018! What is your resolution for this year? Mine is to upgrade my style a bit (as suggested by some of my friends), regularly post in my dear blog, travel to at least 10 new places and live, laugh and love. Let's check at the end of 2018 if I have kept all of my resolutions... In Nepal, New Years is celebrated on April 14; this year we will be celebrating the arrival of year 2075. Quite interesting to note that Nepalese people are 57 years older than those who observe the Anno Domini version. Haha! Facts aside, I wore this yellow slit top with checked shirt, as you cannot imagine wearing a slit top alone in the cold weather of Kathmandu. The silver collar necklace complimented the look. I have no idea if yellow and red are meant to be worn together, but I wore the combination anyway because style is all about what feels right on you. The highlight of my entire outfit was the star embroidered ankle boots. Out of the many, many, many gifts my sister has bou...

When I started this blog, I had a head full of ideas, wardrobe full of clothes and a lot of spare time in my hands (as I had just graduated). And now it's two years old ! So on it's birthday, I am dedicating this post entirely to the blog itself.  Some days I felt like "Ugh, why bother! Who reads this nonsense", while other days I was consumed by happiness when my Stats page showed that people from all over the world were reading my blog (India, Australia, USA, France, UAE, UK, Kenya, Spain etc.). And when some of my dear friends called me and said "Hey, why haven't you posted anything lately? I am waiting", I felt like I had been awarded the Oscars for blogging. Most of the times, I dragged my sister all over the town to click my pictures, without whom this blog could not have survived. And since my only photography tool was my mobile - Samsung Galaxy J5, you can see that most of the pictures are not quite up to the standard of a fashion...

Who else hates winter like me, the never-ending feeling of cold, runny nose and the need to bundle up? Kathmandu is growing colder day by day, like Elsa just got angry all over again. And I'm adapting like everyone else. Despite the general hatred, I don't remain behind in looking presentable for winter. Hence, I piled up two sweaters with my gorgeous waistcoat and go-to summer skirt. To neutralize the colorful ensemble, I wore these oxfords made by the king of shoe-making in Nepal, which is great in terms of both comfort and style. This fabulous pair of sunglasses which is heart shaped upped the style quotient. Take a look. On an ending note, Do Visit Nepal . I myself get enthralled from time to time when I see the wondrous beauty of my country. As they say "Heaven is a myth, Nepal is real" Sweater (inside): The Cashmere Outlet Sweater (outside): F.B Skirt: H&M Waistcoat, socks: Local Store Oxfords: DULLA ...
