Hello Winters!

Hello Winters! What is there not to like about this weather? More and more of Adrak vali chai (ginger tea) , lazy comforters, heaters, overcoats, calf boots and yummylicious food! This winter I have figured out, more than overcoats and chunky knits I have fallen for delicate, soft and super warm pullovers. 

The good part about them is , they are light weighted unlike other winter garments and you can layer them with gorgeous scrafs, accessories etc. And most importantly they do not suffocate you.
 Being living in that part of the country where wether is quite uncertain, I like the idea of layering. As you see in the pictures below, it's bright and sunny in afternoon but the same part of city faces drastic windy movements and snowfall( occasionally) in the evening.  But i still love my City.
Other than the sweaters, Blazers are undoubtedly my favourite and savior of the season. How about your's? 

They are such, good to pair with your denims, maxis, tracks or even delicate dresses and you are good to go. They save you from being over dressed, while they also add that extra spice to your outfit.
I would not be talking much on Blazers today, next post is all about different types, moods and fits of Blazer. 

Until then enjoy the outfit Pictures.

Sweater, Pants, Necklace - Street Shopping

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:-)

Blogging has inbuilt immense confidence in me and the credit goes to your positive feedback and inspiration. This particular giveaway was due for a long time now and finally it's here.
If you read my last post, I have spoken about how much I am influenced with the local market of Sikkim. Thus, the giveaway for this season is from my most inspired and consumed Boutique called "Come Bag". The shop is owned by two sisters named, Tshering and Uden. I know the two sisters, now since 10 years and have seen them growing up with their brand and product in the market. The boutique offers wide range of products from clothing to shoes and bags. In fact, as questioned by most of you and my friends about where are my shoes and bags from? The answer is here. A few days back, when we met for coffee they discussed about their new line of products and fresh stock coming in. Before my excitement came to the ground there was silence. And that was the time when there was a good news for all you amazing readers. Yes, Come Bag decided to collaborate with pen-twister for a giveaway!
