Rough night last night. May have eaten something funky and may have visited the good old loo for more times than required but I will spare you those details. Actually, let me just go back to the first sentence. Rough night last night! And I thought a bowl of cornflakes will be good. Probably 2:30…
Mustard and cognac are two shades my mother really adored. “Mustard”, she used to say, “is more mature than yellow and yet livelier than Amber; enough to brighten a dull day while soothe in a bright afternoon”. And I whole heartedly agree. Mustard is that sophisticated cousin of yellow that brings with it all the…
Hello! Hello! Ladies and gents! How are you holding in your neck of woods? I am here for a quick blog and a super cool list of 25 items that we found on Amazon India- from shelves to pet beds- and one which we think are totally smash park when it comes to that calm…
It is all very Heston-ish. The whole thing about coffee. Forget about smelling; say coffee thrice and you might actually wake up without even touching the cafe-au-lait! Our brain does some weird chemistry laced somersault with the very utterance of coffee, much like how your cat in a classic-devil-360-headturn looks at you when you open…
On this week’s favorite finds, it’s bits and bobs for your monsoon home, and one that I thin you’ll totally love! We have two cool monsoon gears, a few home improvement and freshening agents, a little for your skin and a bit for your soul. And barring the gummies that I have just ordered, I…
Not so long ago, if someone told me meditation is the only arm I have to battle my anxiety I would have blown raspberries on his/ her face. Even worse – meditation is beyond closing your eyes and chanting a phrase. I was outright repelled by meditation. That there are visual and tactile meditations and…
Stripes and ginghams rule my book of prints and quite predictably- or perhaps by habit- I inevitably pick stripe and checkered patterns no matter where I am shopping. But then again, not all stripes make it to my book. For a stripe to be 100% #trumatterstyle it should evoke coziness. Whether through colour, material or…
Peak summer in. Cool and calm solids out. Period! And contrary to what people say- that grey being a winter colour and all that- I think Grey is through and through a summer colour and I love the calm, coziness and poise it brings to a space. Read any colour therapy book and they dreadfully…
I am obsessed with dogwood flowers. I have been obsessed with dogwood flowers for a long time now. I was silently obsessing over them when the world was obsessing over matte lipstick. I craved for them when the world craved dalgona coffee- which was utter shit if you ask me. And if there was a…
In #FavouriteThisWeek, are these 7 organisers from Organisewithease that are so cool, you’ll want to leave them out as decor! No, seriously! I am not just saying that! For most part of my life, organizing was the less fun part of doing up the house. I mean my clothes are still a big mess and…
Deep dive into summer, with these gorgeous floral prints which also happens to be our favourites. Summer and floral prints are like summer and lemonade and every summer I find myself digging the depths of my ever expanding cosmic bed storage for floral prints. Can be that intense urge to get the outdoor in. Can…
Faux flowers are great. They store well, help you whip up floral arrangements along with fresh flowers in a jiffy, and are also great alternatives to the variety of flowers we don’t get here in India- like magnolia or lavender shrub. I have used a few sets in my house forever through out summers and…
Summer hath struck the subcontinent or at least the western part of it and we are feelin’ it! So clearly, hot chocolate station and lumberjack checks are out, easy- breezy, cotton, undyed linen and beachy baskets are in! And although wicker baskets are practically all season and can very well look the part with a…
