A snippet from yesterday's shoot and one of my favourite frames! Tap the image for details.
I have also done a video on the fundamentals of styling and it will be up soon.
I really want to sit down in here and eat pasta and do nothing. You?

Got the light fixed, it looks so nice and it's a nice cool evening in here. Not in the best of my mood but I'm not going to brood on it one minute.
Brooding is the worst thing in the world. A habit I also got for free. And for years I nurtured it. I would take time off to brood and feel either ecstatic or really bad about something when the most pragmatic approach to a situation would be to accept it as "fact" and move on. Now I do just that. Accept and move on! No matter how horrible it is.
Matlab aur kya karoge. If not this.

Update: tried out @_ashlee_white_ s tutorial with crumpled aluminium foil and it holds better. No cracks. Also lighter. Please use aluminium foil.

Happy Saturday.

Happy fall y'all.

I love decorating the kitchen according to season. It's one place I feel really 'at home' and it cheers me up to see a bit of outside in here. Funny that for the longest time Indian kitchens were purely 'a place to cool and no more'. The concept of decorating kitchens is fairly new and one I'm pretty happy about.
.
Do you deck your kitchen up too? What's your fav fall element in your kitchen?

Sundays are for pajamas, good bedding and reflecti

Sundays are for pajamas, good bedding and reflections. And pointers. For example?
Lilac paired with navy can make for a fabulous all round the year palette! Never worked with @reethebee s fav colour before so it made me very happy
Secondly, how lovely that this bedding can be styled in more than two ways with simply a change of pillow covers. A part of @boutiquelivingindia s metamorph collection, the prints in this are crafted in such a way that you can highlight a colour palette just by folding the sheet a bit!
Third, don't peel off wallpapers just because you're on the phone and that feels like... ASMR. That happened yesterday right after this shoot. Hahahahaha I can't believe this.
Fourth, don't type near cat. Cat paws and posts stuff before you could finish.
Haha, happy Sunday with your loved ones to you.

Over the years I have done countless styling projects where in I had to encapsulate the nuances of fall but with a local perspective. And styling is something I truly enjoy.

I have styled for almost all leading magazines including @goodhomesmagazine and it took me 10 years to finally get a chance to design it's cover. For you, it could be the year!

On blog today: 5 reasons why these wicker baskets are wicked good feat. @daisylife.in
One of the main reason and my fav reason however is simply the fact that when you buy from @daisylife.in you will be buying from a family run business that was started in the 70s and directly from the makers. And that is awesome.

Let's agree, I don't understand high fashion. But

Let's agree, I don't understand high fashion. But what I do understand is homely comfort and thereby- pajamas.
🍁🍁🍁
You can argue that a pair of faded shorts and boyfriend's old t-shirt can just do the trick and that'd be just fine! But that's not my jam. My jam are jammies because frankly
A. Your home deserves to see you in good clothes too! Especially now when our home is everything to us!
B. As @streakhuefall rightly pointed out these could be very well styled outside of your home- perhaps just a lovely tan jacket to go with it? And a bit of gold bling? They are totally versatile.
🍁🍁🍁
Bringing back the love for nightsuits that you can also lounge in all day with @sweetslumberstore today whose kafjamas are all sorts of comfortable. Made in softest cotton, a kafjama is a pajama with a kaftan top that you can tie at the waist when you are lounging and loosen when you've had a nice big Sunday lunch. And! Drumrolls please!!!!
They are available in nice large arse sizes so you don't have to squeeze yourself in just because you like the design
🍁🍁🍁
Spearheaded by the lovely Bhanu, whom people lovingly call 🐝, @sweetslumberstore is your place to go to for comfortable, beautiful, cotton loungewear and they are in our list of 5 best homegrown brands who are acing the loungewear game. Thank you @saffrontrail
For your vote of confidence in them. Always loved your reccos.

Happy Sunday!

Climbed up the hill yesterday with my picnic baske

Climbed up the hill yesterday with my picnic basket, camera, water and grapes and realized how little it takes in life to be happy like a child.
Got drenched, saw the clouds barge in with heavy rains, picked plants (with roots) said hi to my four legged friends, debated on whether those sqirmy creatures were leech or earthworms, had grapes and spread those seeds all around.
All thanks to a very enthusiastic husband and this gorgeous picnic wicker basket by @daisylife.in
Also that's your place to buy all things bamboo, wicker and hyacinth. @daisylife.in is real deal and you have to check her gorgeous store out. I'll do a blog on this soon.

The kitchen is now done! And yes it's rental. That's how much you can do in a rental kitchen without anything permanent and it's 0 compromise.
You can tap the image for the pots and pans and shelf and elf details!
Happy Friday to you.
This weekend take out some time and organize. It'll save you so much time and frustration.
It's taking me a bit of time to pen the blog down but the how to do it all and where did I start from will all be in my fav long format. Hopefully by tomorrow morning!
Ciao!

What does it take to feel like a princess? I say it's the freedom to decide what you want to do with your time. Its curling up in a soft bedsheet with a stack of books (which I will read at snails pace) and playing with my michiko who will graciously either hold the pages for me or well, tear them and hop in the basket- perhaps in hope of escaping punishment that awaits her in the imaginary dungeon. Welcome to our fort where we reign supreme, spend all day in bed and make life at home beautiful with little things
.
Now that the best part of the year is upon us, I partnered with @boutiquelivingindia to bring to you a series of beautiful bedding that are perfect to call in fall-festive-winter!
.
In frame: My muse today, in an elegant selection of subtle greys and beiges, is the Her Highness Collection that capture the carvings and sculptural details of palaces in prettiest motifs, and I love how very graceful they are

Order from www.boutiquelivingindia.com and I'm linking this piece to my story as well.
