Re - Lived the Past!

Before the post, some exciting news: You can also follow Pen Twister now in  Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in name of (@Nikitagarwal) :). Also warning: The following post is going to be a bit long :) I hope you still read it!

It's 2 months now that I have been in Bangalore and honestly I am still helping myself to settle in this city. For various reasons of course, but I guess I will hold on to it. Since a few days I have been missing city of Joy -  "Kolkata" quiet a bit. The city where I learned the most, met the most amazing people who are still connected to my heart, where I discovered a new side of me and lived most of my days being happy. Even after stay and time of being in this city was over for me, I continued to travel to kolkata every month of some random reason. I have my strings attached to this place emotionally and recon shall never get enough of it. I miss every bit of the city! I think Kolkata loves me equally, no wonder it had send out packages to me with my most desired things from the city:) Also coming to the much bigger news, loved ones from Kolkata flew to Bangalore too to see me. Happy much!
The weekend then had to be in my favor with lots of love, laughter, shopping, conversations and Food. Apart all the usual stuff I must tell you, exploring places for food and reviewing it was probably the major criteria of loved ones to visit Bangalore. Nevertheless, it was "The" most amazing weekend ever.
I am extremely glad about the fact that, the following days witnessed amazing weather with some showering and pleasant breeze. Seems, like the sun had disappear just to make my days even better:) While I was the tourist guide for the season Nando's located in Church street was no.1 on my list. The reason being while we were in U.K, Nando's was our home. The love for Peri Peri chicken can never be transformed or decrease for us hence, while I spotted it here in Bangalore we had to visit.
Coming to what I wore was very casual, comfortable, chic nothing flashy and perfect for the weather. Florals have been a great hit this season and I personally love every pattern of it. And, who would not like when florals also have a hint of net border and embellishments. I do. I was in love with the sheer shirt shown below, when I first saw them from a distance and grabbed it that very moment without a thought. And, I don't regret a bit about it.
What do you guys think?
Well this post and a few coming ones would be flooded with pictures because, he loves food and I like to
pose ;)

 I am wearing:

Floral Shirt & Bag : Thrifted
Jeans: New Look
Accessories : Here & There

Doesn't the food look  ymmylicious:) I am all set to go to Nando's again and make my weekend fun!
What are all you lovelies doing for the weekend?

The Valentine Week!

Last few days have been absolutely mad and full of entertainment. Well, I am back to my normal life after a vacation of 10 whole days and I am just not liking it. However, I and Mr. A never believed in Valentine's Day, the entire concept of showing that extra love or exchanging gifts on that one day was a little too much for us to handle. We asked that one question to each other every year on this occasion, why so much love and confession to it on this specific day. No offense but just strange. Anyways as most of you know that I was in Kolkata last week for medical stuff without the knowledge that it was "The Valentine" week, until my little cousin gave me a huge bar of chocolate and said Happy Chocolate day. I laughed and said chocolate day she replied, didn't you know it's the V week going on and aren't you here for the same reason. Woh! Hold on girl, It was just a co - incidence and actually thinking about it I was really excited (it's good to do things you never did) to spend the exclusive "V" week with him! So, the week obviously was not turned into romantic Dinners or Vacation but it definitely bought in lots of laughter, get together, and love with all the loved ones around.
As, the week drew to end and not so purposely on the "V Day" we came to Gangtok. The weather was really ill treating and did not allow me to take him around, so I and my friends ganged in for the actual fun. The warmth of Born fire with delicious Barbeque and house music made it the Best Valentine's ever! After all, its about spending time with people you love irrespective to who it is! Right!
Ok, I did not get dressed for the occasion due to ridiculously bad weather but there are loads of OOTD from the week! Have a look at the pictures from the Dinner at "AQUA" for now. A place I need to visit in kolkata!

I am wearing:

Dress- Mango

Shoes- Local Market

Bag - Gifted

So, what do you think of the dress for Pre- Valentine Dinner ;-) The dress gives me an absolute Victorian feeling with the best part of having a scarf  knot!

Do share your experiences too! And lots and lots of more posts to come, stay updated!

Locally Inspired!

With much sunshine and love I required, I am on a perfect holiday away from all the winter bites and lonliness. Surviving each day with the fear of loosing myself, I am glad that I got to do this trip at the right time. The weather, the companion and the schedule is perfect to hold on myself and get things back to track. Initially, the trip was organised for 2 days for health reasons but subsequebtly it has just extended to a week and further. I can't get any happy or excited, Oh well I am in the city of joy "Kolkata". So far the things are really smooth and I am having an absolute fun packed week with loved ones around, crazy itenary for the week, drive aways, an outbound road trip and lots of love, food, shopping and amzing moments.
Coming to the post today, it was much awaited and requested one from many of the readers and friends, the post on Local hauls. I personally buy and put my hands on the stuff from the Local market of Sikkim and totally love them, reading through my one of the post here you would know the reasons. I personally am very  inspired from my town not because it produces great segment of clothing or fashion but the place itself is a beauty covered with mountain capes, with tresure house for some streams and waterfalls, blessed with holiness of monastries, perfect destination for relaxation and of course serves with a variet of dining options.
 For the shoot I am wearing the locally inspired colourful knit with black skinnies, the Bling shoes (details here) which was originally thrifted from same market as knit and bag:-) Few of the pictures are clicked in the capital Gangtok, may be the pictures do not do the justice in defining the beauty of the place but it's simply Gorgeous.

So what do you all think of my Thrifted outfit? As, one of my follower said before I may not get to take home the beauty supplied by International or National tagged brands but, I possess stuff which is quiet unique and have an advantage of not letting my style to blend with the crowd. I am quiet proud of all my belongings specailly the once which are locally bought:-)
What possession are you proud of guys? Do share and leave your feedback:-)
