Too Pretty To Use.....

Started from beautifully designed makeup, now we're here! 

*insert see-no-evil monkey emoji*

Alright, we will not talk about those useless but pretty outer boxes we don't have the heart to throw away. 

(When I left the UK back then, I actually flattened a lot of them and tied them together nicely with a rubber band, so I could bring them back here. I have no idea where they are now!)

~ Cath Kidston Notebook, Rs.695

~ Cath Kidston Travel Cup, Rs.945

*Cath Kidston is now opened in Ambience Mall, Gurgaon.

~ H&M Socks in a Christmas Bauble, Rs.399.

~ Victoria's Secret xo, Victoria Rollerball Perfume, Rs.1600 

(approx, as part of 2 for 3 offer.)

~ Forever 21 Pink Bunny-Shaped Slippers, Rs.799

If I know you long-time readers, I'd say you like them all =)

But which one would you keep in a drawer, unused forever?

Me, most probably the notebook. 

I wanna say the bunny slippers, but Ziizayne is always wearing them these days, haha!

Have a great weekend everyone!

*To all you fellow horror movie freaks, have you watched Lights Out? I might watch that tonight ;)

XO, M U S E.

What should I say? That I......

Nah, not that. Don't say that.

What about where I've been?

Nope. Don't go there. You'll bring everybody down.

C'mon! You're overthinking again!

Ummm....You c'mon, genius! Tell me then, tell me what to say. You know exactly where my head is!

Okay....

~ How about you managed to survive on 50 rupees in your wallet since the demonetization. You saw the new 2000 rupee notes only yesterday. You thought they'd be pink, and felt *phus* when you saw they're purple? 

~ How about you're listening to August Alsina's 'I Luv This Sh*t' & 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' as you're typing this? Shuffling between: I'm just trying to chill cause I'm way too drunk to be talking like this I'm way too high to be tripping like this

I'm way too young to be living like this & ज़मीन पे न सही तो आसमा तोह आ मिल 

~ How about you're now hooked to a new tv show - The Missing, Season 2?

~ How about Ziizayne now yells 'Mummaaaaa!', says 'Oh-kay!', 'Shoes', and 'Moo!' when he sees cows?

~ How about you're now only into black or nude/muted rose nail polish shades, and you find corals & pinks almost repulsive? This is when they should probably understand your state of mind.

~ How about you think the new Lakmé 9to5 Mousse Lip & Cheek Color are awesome?

~ How about you're kinda obsessed with the word 'Quinoa' - keeen-waaah!  

~ How about you've decided you're going to become a Lawyer? The kind that would carry night vision goggles & have a snitch in prison.

~ How about you found inspiration in the most unlikely place.... the most hopeless situation.... the most unlikely person.....?

~ How about........

3 Days Of Giveaway: Day #1 ~ CUTE & GIRLY (CLOSED)

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all doing good.

Finally I'm able to get this up, after procrastinating for months - okay, years! 

 I've decided to split my giveaways into 3 parts. 

*** This giveaway is OPEN WORLDWIDE.***

In this series of giveaways, there won't be any makeup items, because most times a lot of readers say they don't use a lot of makeup (like eyeshadow palettes). So I thought I'd put together cute, useful things that everybody would put to use. Hope you'll want them all.... and adore them when you WIN them! ;)

Here's the 1st set of Prizes:

~ Forever 21 Sleeping Cat Makeup Bag with pom pom zipper

~ H & M Pink Pom Pom Handbag Accessory ~ In this post, I asked you if you want the pom pom to be included in a giveaway and many of you said YES. I went back to get another one, but it was sold out =(, so I got something similar - it's less pink and it has gold instead of rose gold hardware, BUT it's bigger! =D

~ Romantic Rose Mirror

~ Hello Kitty Lip Balm

To participate, please fill in the Rafflecopter below:

  a Rafflecopter giveaway

In case you're confused, there are only 2 mandatory Rules:

OOTD: Dungarees + Summer Beauty Picks

Hi, Hi! =) 

Dungarees are back! I couldn't be more stoked, because I have this odd obsession with overall(s)-type things. To put it simply, I like suspenders. I like them a little too much.

When I become CEO someday, I'll make suspenders part of my office's uniform....we'll have, like, this retro 'Mad Men' kind of vibe. I'll wear them over a white ruffle shirt and a black pencil skirt...and black pumps...maybe cat eye glasses for that "pro look"....I'll sit with my legs on the table - more in a casual laid-back way than a  b**** boss way - and my assistant who's wearing a cabbie hat will barge in and announce, "Forbes. They want us on the cover of their May issue! They said it's very important we bring our own suspenders to the shoot next Saturday."

Pom Pom Lovin'

Obsessed with it. 

Regret I don't have a handbag exactly like it.

To do the matching.

How do I NOT have a powder pink handbag?!

Wait. 

Just wait.

OOTD: Tulip

I got a call the other day:

Caller: "Hello, I'm calling from Snapdeal. Can we deliver your order today?Will be there in 15 minutes."

Me: "Okay, but definitely come within 1 hour, coz I won't be home after that."

Caller: "Yes, yes, agent is on his way there now."

1 hour later: No package. So I call him.

Me: "Hello, I'm still waiting for you. Where are you?"

Caller: "Sorry, Madam?"

Me: "You're the one who called me earlier, right? From Snapchat?"....

...."I mean, from Snapdeal!"

 ♥

I'm not even on Snapchat! I don't even know what it's all about! But I keep seeing everybody else say "Follow Me On Snapchat", so let's blame them hehehe  =D

About the outfit: I'd been waiting half of winter to wear this tulip sleeve top! It matched a floral mini skirt I have perfectly, but I thought ~ Nah, let's wear pants. When was the last time they saw me in pants? ;p 

When You Find Your DREAM Jewelry Box.....

HELLO! I missed you :* =)

From a new location. Things have just started going back to normal - after moving house and Baby CZii getting sick and yada yada....

So I've found the only jewelry box I'll ever need, and if you've been reading my blog for a long time, you will know that that I'd been drooling over a jewelry organizer like this for 4 years! When I say it like that this feels like a reward =D

OOTD ~ Varsity Sweater Dress

Thoughts:

~ Why didn't I apply a black nail polish? Or black & white stripes...haha... who are you kidding?!

~ When will the skin on my hands be smooth again? Moist.

~ What if that aggressive father monkey that was living on our balcony when we were out of town comes back & attacks me? I'll use backpack as a shield. 

~ Hmm...I feel like watching that movie 'The Craft' again.

 ~ Tiesto. Playing. In Gurgaon. Can't go. Life of a Mommy, sigh. (He's playing tonight, btw)

~ My baby. Can't wait for bedtime cuddles & tickles.

~  ♪ ♫ My heart is a ghost town...toodoo...doodoodoo.... ♪ ♫

Faux Fur To Favorites

Hi, All! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. 

Today, I wanted to talk about the things that make me feel happy....

....and  lucky! =)

Still Here....

Chaos.

 

 

               Lost.

 

 

Soul in my goddamn imperfect world.

 

 

            Feet in my seemingly perfect shoes. 

(Wait, that didn't rhyme anymore! But it's not meant to be poetry, you idiot. Okay, keep going....)

But you.....

 

(Yes, pause for effect.)

 

 

 No matter how many times I've failed,

 

I'll always find my way back to you.

 

(What the....Cheeesy! Get outta here!!! Go put on that new dark lipstick that matches that F21 headband you treat like a piece of valuable art, and....ah, never mind.... just get out!)

When September Ends.....

So I was listening to Radio One (94.3 FM) in the car one evening,

Male RJ.

Topic: Contest-type. Listeners (People?) had to call and say....

"Whenever I see you, I just want to pick my nose."

'Pick My Nose'! I swear I'm not making this up!

They had to say it in the most seductive way.

They had to make it sound sexy.

Oh, and the winner was gonna win some prize I can't remember.

Movie tickets? Restaurant meal?

Okay, I really can't recall!

Must have been a very unappealing prize. 

The callers really really.....tried their best.

I got to listen to about 3 callers.

 The RJ listened - I wondered if he was trying hard not to LOL - and politely gave each of them a pat on their backs for trying their (*cough* orno) best.

"That's really good."

"Oh, wow!"

And then the one memorable tickler.....

Woman: "Whenever I see you *moans*.... I just....mmm....*groans* want to....mmmmm.....pick my nose...... rawwwrrr!"

(In my head: This woman is standing in her kitchen, in black yoga pants, cup of tea in hand, looking out the window, waiting for the vegetable wala to deliver the fresh gobhi/cauliflower. Kids will be back from tuition in 20, and hubby in 60.)

RJ: "That was very good. I'm really turned on right now." 

(In my head: He's bored, thinking about Jack Daniel's.... and before he could stop himself, puts his index finger up one nostril.)

I'm sorry to say that we'll never know what happened next, because I had to get out of the car.

That's life.  

Short Journeys = Interesting/Funny radio programs, New Releases, Top-something/HIT songs.

Long Journeys = MmmBop, Ads, Queen, Ads, Chefs, Education, Kejriwal.

............

Speaking of nose-related things, whenever I wear sunglasses, my eyes always notice my nose first. Especially in photos. I don't know, even my nostrils seem bigger than usual.

Which means: Sunnies can hide careless in-a-rush eye makeup application, but not a dirty nose. Don't make 'em want to pick your nose! =D

Okay, now I'll stop saying "NOSE" now.

This is an end-of-summer look that I meant to post, like, a week ago......

Sunglasses: Forever 21

Lipstick: I was obsessed with orange-y lippies for a while. Here, I'm wearing Colorbar Definer Lip Liner in Peach Cocktail....

But First, I'll Be Your Personal Shopper [SALE]

Hello! 

I'll be your Personal Shopper today.

You can call me Agent Personal Shopper.

Agent PS?

Or anything you want.

Just make sure you put in the word 'Agent' 

(I tried to sneak in the word 'Secret' too, but....)

Because it sounds cool & because I'm holding the hair dryer like a gun.

Plus, you need to have an agent-type....umm.... aura when you hit the Sale racks - 

Next time you're in ZARA during sale, take a minute to look at the other women.

Where? Oh, there's one!

That side....in that corner over there....(Ooh that top she's touching looks nice! I WANT!)

That's why they don't want to be near you!

And most of them would no doubt be shopping alone.

Oh, yes. Rule #1- Always go SALE shopping alone.
No one is to be trusted.

Especially if 'no one' is.......

 

 So without further delay, here are some goodies you can - and MUST - buy right now. I mean RIGHT NOW!

Forever New Ria Printed Hi Low Dress: 50% OFF! Rs.6200/Rs.3095. It is so pretty and so worth the price- the sale price. Comes with a gold belt. It's still available online here, and there's a similar dress with a different print here.

July Nightwear: Rs.1199/Rs.959. I LOVE this brand July Nightwear! I always end up liking only their pyjama sets while browsing Jabong. I got this Disney one here and a few more sets. All pyjama sets & sleepwear are 20% off right now. You can check out the entire range here.

Corioliss Mini Vintage Hair Dryer (Limited Edition): Rs.2999/Rs.1399. How cute?! HOW CUTE?!!! Nykaa had this in one of the sliders amongst hair dryers on sale. I saw, I clicked, I ordered. I prefer mini/travel hair dryers coz they're light. I checked online and it was $85 when it was launched :O ....If the floral & cute blue pouch are calling your name, go grab it before it's gone at Nykaa HERE

Maxi Dress Outfit & Maternity Shoot ~ For Bubbles....

 

Bubbles, you're so heavy!
It makes me want to bend on all fours to get you off my spine....
Like a cat - MEOW!
Okay, we should do a "Maternity Shoot"
I dress up and pose and show off how big we've gotten,
You try not to headbutt my bladder like you want to evict it.
Hmm....How.....Where?
Most people seem to go to serene forest-type places....
with trees and daisies and magical-looking sun rays 

that kiss their flower headbands delicately.

And they hire pro photographers.

No, we aren't 'most people'.

No, we are not going to a forest.

You & I will do low-budget DIY shoot.

But, on the bright side.....

We'll get to wear high heels.....

September Darling....Tied Up In A Neat Little Bow

Meet this September Darling.

It's called a Posh Bow Necklace.

It's so Beautiful!

It's so Cheap!

Cushioned Thong Sandals

I find closed ballet flats too stuffy now that my feet are a-l-w-a-y-s hot, so I have started wearing these thong sandals. They are really comfortable because of those cushioned circle designs.

I got these from the same store in Lajpat Nagar Market - Stelatoes - for around Rs.795. The same time I got the grey pair shown here. If I remember correctly, they were available in other colors as well.
