Can you guys believe I was once a little ballerina? I took classes until I was 13! Since then I developed an aversion to tights….until my move to London, that is. Hahaha! Lately, stocking/tights have been my quick fix on days when I miss going barelegged. I was browsing through the Multiply marketplace a few... ...continue reading

Everyone I know is sick. I’ve done my time over the holidays, so now it’s everyone else’s turn! All this getting sick business has got me thinking about the healing power of food…which isnt really style-related but it’s my blog post. Actually, there were loads of talks about size 0 models and eating disorders around... ...continue reading

What is the meaning of life?

What is the meaning of life?

Gotcha there! For your sake, were not talking about deep shit today. Maudlin Mondays are SO grade 7, back when life revolved around pimples. The whole process of adolescence was quite brutal thanks to my frienemy ‘Raging Hormones’. These days I just feel bad for ‘R.H.’ He gets blamed for everything, specially if he’s friends... ...continue reading

My mother is SO funny. People never expect her to be because she never really mingles with ‘society’ and she looks and acts pretty normal in everyday life. Except I’ve known her for 24 years and I know the truth. Many people say (my father mainly) that we are quite similar…except she’s wiser and cleaner.... ...continue reading

I didn’t realize this man was getting his feirce on with me Pursuing multiple passions and interests in a balanced manner is something I’m constantly working at. Compartmentalizing my career and extracurriculars is good to a certain degree because I don’t feel static, but life isn’t tidy so one box inevitably spills on to the... ...continue reading

   I’m easily excitable. Fact. Over the weirdest things as well. Like I was never really good at physics (I was even worse in geometry. I HATED proving things which I already knew were true so I never really bothered to memorise all that postulate crap) but I remember being quite intrigued by  quarks. Admittedly,... ...continue reading

Benefit Hervana

The make-up fairies over at Benefit sure have the supreme ability to make me go giddy and giggly with their latest beauty potion-y concoctions. Their latest powder blush, Hervana, is heaven sent. Packaged neatly in a lilac box is a mosaic of dusty/rosey/coral/mauve color wheel that can turn even the most cranky broad into a... ...continue reading

My friends = AMAZING. Case in point: Pablo, who I’ve adored for years. I’ve lost count how many years. But in my mind the length of friendship goes a little something like this: Ive moved to 3 different countries. He’s moved to 2 different cities. We’ve seen each other through family crises, relationship crises, etc.... ...continue reading

The Window is a Stage

 Back when I did my little stint in retail, three of my favorite activities were 1) rummaging like a rat in the stock room for apparel from past seasons which were severely marked down 2) guessing the price of new merchandise and 3)window dressing. I specially loved number 3 because you can play around, brainstorm... ...continue reading

VERSACE x H&M

I’m not a Versace girl so I didn’t see the need to wake up early and stand outside in the cold just for it. Instead, I decided to brave the crowds a little after lunch and check out the H&M collaboration. Surprisingly, I arrived at the Regent store and found it free from any queues…I... ...continue reading
