New Shoes

I finally went shopping on Sunday, to catch up with the sale season.

Somehow I end up at South Extension market way too often - despite all the bigger, better, and most importantly AC malls that have mushroomed all over NCR. Maybe the fact of getting a better deal at the stores in South Ex or the convenience of going there, whichever maybe the case, I picked up new shoes :):)

I have a recurring lower back pain problem, and I have been avoiding heels in office. So I've been playing around with lots of colorful flat pumps to wear to office.

The new additions are these tyrian purple colored patent flats from Vansons for Rs. 795. These shoes instantly talked to me - I swear they did. "Pick me", "Pick me" was all I could hear! :>


I loved the criss cross detailing in the front, and I can't wait to wear these!

Another pair that I bought are these green patent flats from D&A for Rs. 745...

...with some elastic detailing in the back


But can any shopping be complete without something black! I picked up another pair of black patent flats (peep-toes) from D&A (Rs. 745 again)
(Pic coming up soon)

Finally ended the shoe shopping for the day with a pair of silver colored kolhapuris from the street vendor (Rs. 200) My only other kolhapuri chappals were in brown, which my sister took.

(I wonder why it has 'bossini' written on it!?!)

I will put up better pics of all of them after clicking pics from the camera. My Nokia 5300 Xpressmusic is just not good enough.

Fab India

I wear a lot of Indian clothes to office because:
a) the people in my office are extremely conservative dressers
b) I walk around a lot in office, and I don't have to wear heels with them

So the other day, when we went to watch a movie, I bought these 2 lovely kurtas from Fab India


The mistake that happened was I bought one in size XS, and the other in S! I didn't realise it till after I had already cut the tag of the one in size S!! I still wore it, and consoled myself with 'wow its airy' ;) (well, it doesn't look that oversized - maybe cuz of all the binging I talked about here)


As with all suits, paired with some chunky earrings, and nice flats, they look great.

I'm also trying to go 'green' in my lifestyle to the extent possible.

While browsing through the store, when I noticed how every product in the store says that FI is against Animal Testing, I decided to buy some of them

Lemon Intensive Hand Cream: I've tried the hand cream and it is excellent...Unlike other moisturisers where your hand either gets too sticky or dries up very quickly, so far with the cream, my hands stay soft until the next wash - which I tend to do very often (Rs. 125)


Aloe Vera Protein Shampoo: I'm yet to try the shampoo - will update once I do (Rs. 200)
