An Evening With Kate Spade New York and Ella Catliff

When Ella Catliff announced that she and Kate Spade New York was hosting an event at their Westfield store, I was jumping up and down and throwing some killer dance moves, giggling and blushing. The sight was not very good to watch. 

I was happy, thrilled, excited, nervous, over the moon to meet Ella after my last encounter at the GAP AW14 event. There was no way I was going to miss this opportunity.

Kate Spade Accessories are to die for. Once you get inside, it is very difficult to get out of the store empty handed. The prices too are reasonable which is what took me by surprise. There are so many things on my wish list. Once I come back from the holidays, I will definitely be paying a trip to the store for sure. 

The glasses style bracelet and the coin purse are some of my favourites but the one that tops the wish list is the Cross Body Abbie in Red (above). Look how gorgeous the bag is. 

Macaroonsssssss........ Unfortunately, I did not have time to eat any because I was way too busy admiring Ella and Holly and the gorge Kate Spade accessories. 

I also got the opportunity to meet the lovely Holly McGlynn who is a street style photographer at Company Magazine. She has worked with loads of bloggers like Two Shoes One Pair, Ella Catliff, Kavita from She Wears Fashion and so on. The list is endless.

There was a competition where we were challenged to style the beautiful Kate Spade Accessories. The winner got to take home the stunning Kate Spade Bow Terrace Justine Handbag. 

You can see how I styled the accessories and also check out the winner of the awesome Kate Spade handbag competition (that lucky person who got to take the beautiful handbag home, hint: you might recognise the person).

I had such a wonderful time and the treat was meeting Ella Who is just a humble person. The surprise was when she told me that she has read my blog. That is big news for me. I still cannot believe that.

Do you fancy any of the accessories you have seen so far? My Kate Spade wish list is very long and I am definitely going to have a hard time deciding what to buy and what not to buy. 

P.S. I am going on a vacation to India  (coming back at the end of May). As a result I will not be able to post as the internet access is bad. 

I will try my best to update the blog but the best thing will be that you follow me via bloglovin or twitter so you don't miss out on the posts.

Thanksgiving Friday

Strawberries are my favourite. Every time I see them, my face starts beaming. I have finished one box already and this one will disappear soon. 

I don't get to eat them as often as I would like to because of my thyroid problem (very good source of Iodine) but I'm thankful that I got to eat the delicious berries this week. What is your favourite fruit?

I wore this shoes from Zara for the first time after purchasing them last year (first appeared in my haul post) and ended up getting blisters on both the legs. The legs were hurting a lot and I could barely walk. 

Things got worse for me that evening when the bus driver told us that the buses are on diversion because of an accident. This meant, I had to walk home (30 minutes journey). My both legs were covered in plasters and I was struggling (I was literally crying because the legs were bad and to top it off, I had a terrible headache). 

I prayed to God and kept walking. I was over the moon when I made it home. This was bad than last week. I am THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL FOR MAKING HOME SAFELY. I still cannot believe that I walked home that day. Thank God!

I have been making extra effort to eat healthy food like fruits, green leafy vegetables fish and drink loads of water. I started eating avocado, something I've always stayed away from but I like it now. What do you do to keep yourself healthy and fit?

So this are some of the things I am thankful and grateful for this week, what are you thankful for?

Embracing The Colour Blue

Looking at these pictures definitely suggest that I was in a modelling mood. Look at the different poses I'm channelling here, Holy God (laughing hysterically). This is what blogging does to you, brings out the inner model in you. Do you agree?

Blue is definitely big this season and I too decided to embrace this colour, so much that I went for blue on blue look. Obviously, in different shades and texture and that's the beauty of creating a monochrome look. 

Last outfit was mainly black, this time its blue. The shades are getting lighter as I climb the colour ladder. What do you think of my blue on blue look? Is it something you would wear?

Thanksgiving Friday: What I Am Thankful For

I wasn't feeling well on Wednesday and while travelling back home, things got worse. I had very bad abdominal pain. I wanted to get home as soon as possible but got stuck in traffic and it took longer but i'm grateful and thankful that I made it home safely. Nothing serious happened on the bus. 

I met an elderly lady who said: "You are so nice, I will pray for you" just for no reason. I was blushing, she totally made my day. 

It made me wonder that compliments like this don't cost money but they mean a lot and can make somebody happy. Why don't I try to do that? So I have decided that I will try my best to speak good and try and compliment people. You too should give it a try. 

I saw an elderly gentleman who was walking alone finding his way with the help of a walking cane/walking stick. I kept staring at him and started thinking of all the things I have taken for granted. 

I have said it before and I say it again, it's the simplest things in life that matters the most and the one we take for granted. 

I am thankful for having the opportunity to be one of the person who has a normal body. You and I need to appreciate it a bit more.

Hope you all had a wonderful week. No matter how hard your life may be, always remember that there is someone out there who doesn't have food to eat or a too over their head. Be grateful and thankful for what you have, no matter how big or how small it may be.

Back To Basics: Striped T-Shirt

Stripes are becoming increasingly popular and had made their way into the closet staples. The other day I went to Westfield London and couldn't believe how many people were wearing striped T-shirts, obviously styled in different ways.

This time, I decided to pair the striped tee with skinny jeans, red belt with gold stud details and black boots with gold details.

I am forever buying clothes in black (There is a story behind it though which I may/may not tell you some other time) and then complain that my wardrobe lacks colour.

As most of my outfit is in neutral palette, I decide to add colour in the form of a belt and bag. 

Accessories are a great way to inject colour in to your outfit, be it a necklace, a bracelet, a scarf or a bag, they can instantly add oomph and jazz to the overall look.

The styling possibilities are endless. The striped t-shirt is one of those pieces which can be worn all year round and can be styled up or down depending on the occasion. 

Add a pencil skirt, black pumps and red lipstick and you are ready to rock your date night. What do you think?

Thanksgiving Friday

Thank God it's Friday. Are you ready to take on the weekend? Before I gear up, here are some of the things that I am thankful for this Thanksgiving Friday.

Taking the time out and enjoying spring blossom. The park looks magical with all the colourful flowers. Enjoying the flower petal shower here! 

I am thankful that I am able to enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer.

As you can see from the tweet, I won tickets to the Gianmarco Lorenzi re-launch event. I covet their shoes, they are AWEOSME! Thankful for this opportunity to attend their #GMLaunch event and check the SS14 shoe collection which is on 9th April. 

I finally managed to get a tripod. I have been wanting to buy one for a very long time as some of you will know. I got the Velbon Ex-440 from John Lewis. 

If you have any tips for me, please let me know as I am very new to the concept of using the tripod to take my outfit pictures.

Still praying for MH370 crew and passengers, people of Ukraine, Chile who experienced a massive earthquake, lives lost in the US shootings and landslides and those who are injured.

Is there anything that You would like to be thankful for?
