Noir + Rouge

The monsoon is on its way out. As much as we appreciate the lush greenery, the romance in the air and the coziness it creates, we are glad about one thing - we can get all our favourite pieces out of the closet again without worrying about it not being rain-friendly! 

There are some fashion fundas we love - like how a combination of red+black can hardly go wrong, or again how a combination of black clothes and gold accessories always look chic.

Here, I've paired an organic tee with this gorgeous red skirt both from Zara. Love how versatile the skirt is, it could be dressed up as well as down. In those super heaty B'bay days cotton tees are every girl's savior, without trying too hard one could look effortless. Here I paired gold accessories with the outfit to dress it up a bit. In loooove with kolapuris, the most comfy and flattering shoes ever. And that beautiful gold accented bag, a complete steal, was bought on a trip to Goa. Last but not the least, the Egyptian inspired earrings were a gift from a dear friend that I cherish a lot.

Privacy! Is it a lot to ask?

            In this city of dreams, with its light, passion and vigor, there seems nothing that cannot make us happy. Yet time and again, as much as we love Mumbai, we struggle to cope with how it works. Space, privacy are words unheard of over here.
           People cannot keep a distance, cannot respect your privacy even if you are one of those kinds who hardly socialize. This constant need to know the details of all the people in your life might be frustrating someone beyond measure (example = us!). Really! What exactly is so interesting about what's going on in my love life? or what i'm studying? And now that you've poked and prodded me till I answer all your nosey questions, who gave you the right to judge? So i'm just doing ordinary B.A. while your boy is doing engineering? Well! Congo aunty and thanks for the unasked information!
         If invasion of mental privacy wasn't enough, the physical part comes in. You can practically never be alone! Most parents don't approve of closed doors of rooms, sitting at a cafe alone means getting weird glances, private time on trains, buses is a joke! So when? When can we just sit, with a cup of coffee, with mental and physical privacy and just be able to breathe?

                                                              Questions, questions!

On a lighter note we clicked these pictures before catching up with an old friend over the movie  'Ishqzaade'. Diana liked it, I didn't! Rare clash of opinions! :P Have you seen it yet? Share it with us in the comments section.
