Judging People

If you’re into style because you feel good when you put an outfit together and you enjoy it…great, it shows because you’re probably smiling a lot and you give off a good vibe. Going on and judging other people on their choices however, takes away any class and style you posessed. Think about how you would feel if someone who you admired who was ‘more stylish’ did that to you one day. Just some thoughts after seeing a few ‘style bloggers’ pages and the comments they make. Sort it out. I don’t really want that kind of BS on my Tumblr dashboard, I admire the style these people have I don’t like to see this attitude snaking around via comments about people they’ve seen out and about etc. I bet half of them wouldn’t be able to say it the persons face, don’t go onto Tumblr and shout about it.

Keep it positive.

Lakme Fashion Week '11 Roundup

This summer no doubt will be awash with weddings and events galore and I need to get all new outfits..So recently I have been looking at Indian Fashion as inspiration.


Taking a look at the Lakme's fashion shows I am sharing designers who have caught my eye, an overview of their collection and also highlighting my favourite pieces.


Amalraj Sengupta

Basically made up from Sport Luxe with casual shapes but heavy fabric, and more tailored shapes suited to evening featuring flirty frills. A couple of my favourite mens and womens from the collection:

Archana Kochhar
With this collection we see Luxe Sportswear being incorporated with the Indian style of dress.

  

      











 












Aneeth Arora
At first it bored me a little but as I went through the images the collection appeared to be getting much better, the designers obvious interest is in layering and textures.. But the reason why I am highlighting her is because of her ability to really merge the Indian textures with Western styling. there are obvious inspirations from London and New York urban street fashion featured in a very   consistent manner throughout.

 


Anita Ganguly & Anita Walia
Sports Luxe meets Futuristic Warrior in this collection. I am in Love with the print on the skirt and leggings in the larger images..

So ye! those are my favourites!

Check Me Out..!

Aside from this blog I have a Tumblr that takes you through life as an architecture student. I did this because I remember being a potential student and thinking, man if only I could see what's it's like! Architecture isn't something you study or have a familiarity with before your university career. So for this reason I thought it would be useful for other pre-uni students to have a resource where they could see what it's like.

Music!

my two favourite artists at the moment.

Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) his mix tapes House of Balloons and Thursday are so good it’s disgusting.

Jermaine Cole (J.Cole) his mix tapes speak for themselves. His debut album, at first disappointed me, but after a couple of listens man, I am HOOKED! Always raps about stuff you actually want to listen to but the album didn’t grab me at first because of the beats etc. Believe me, they are very good for a debut. Even featuring Missy Elliot.. Thank God she’s back. Sort of. And the track she’s featured on is classic!

ok enough. 

Just a Little Something to Brighten Your Day!

After getting some emails from my Mum (i know lol) I have come across one with the cutest and funniest captions on some otherwise weird photo's... Take a look..

The 3rd and 6th ones are my favourite!

The Almighty SLEEP!!

A few of my friends have insomnia. I myself have never suffered from this; I am naturally an early sleeper and early riser. =) -which is bad sometimes!


However I came across a website today that puts into words what I have been trying to explain to my friend's when they ask me for advice. An excerpt:


       "I read that most insomniacs are people who go to bed when they aren’t sleepy. If you aren’t sleepy and find yourself unable to fall asleep quickly, get up and stay awake for a while. Resist sleep until your body begins to release the hormones that rob you of consciousness. If you simply go to bed when you’re sleepy and then get up at a fixed time, you’ll cure your insomnia. The first night you’ll stay up late, but you’ll fall asleep right away. You may be tired that first day from getting up too early and getting only a few hours of sleep the whole night, but you’ll slog through the day and will want to go to bed earlier that second night. After a few days, you’ll settle into a pattern of going to bed at roughly the same time and falling asleep right away. So if you want to become an early riser (or just exert more control over your sleep patterns), then try this: Go to bed only when you’re too sleepy to stay up, and get up at a fixed time every morning.'' -May 23rd, 2005 by Steve Pavlina
