Starting a new year is always a great thing, but for me, the past two new year’s day have been extra special. Two years ago today, on 1st January, I started writing Mademoiselle Meets Maquillage and Macaroons and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Blogging brings me more joy…
Cotton Candy
As a child, ?one of my favourite things was going to the park every evening with my grandpa. On the days I was good, he would buy me cotton candy on our way back home. It has been a favourite ever since. You can probably see why I went straight from ‘add to cart’ to…
Striped Florals
This past weekend, we decided to take a little staycation in the Empty Quarter. Never having been to a desert retreat, I was very excited to the largest continuous sand desert in the world. We stayed at the Qasr al Sarab resort by Anantara and not entirely sure how to dress in a desert. I…
Off Shoulder Gingham
If you ever asked me what are my favourite trends and styles and prints of all time, I would say ruffles, off shoulder and gingham respectively; so to have all ?these three things in one dress meant only one thing. This dress was meant for me. With this dress, what you see is exactly what…
Committing to Leopard: How to Wear Leopard Print
One of the big trends for Autumn/ Winter 16 is Leopard print. It was seen on the catwalks of Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein , Givenchy and Dolce and Gabbana to name a few. And if that was not enough, to immortalise this trend further, highstreet brands like Zara have entire lines dedicated to the leopard…
The ‘Holey’ Midi Dress
Midi. Midi. Midi. If you know me, then you will know that this is one of my favourite type of dresses. I bought this dress last year, before the whole Self Portrait hype and have worn it a lot since. It is very comfortable and has that whole demure maiden feel to it! I wore…
The Summer Staple: Coral Midi Dress
This past weekend being a long weekend in Dubai,?we decided to take a weekend staycation and head to the Banyan Tree in Ras Al Khaima. It is a beautiful resort ?with a stunning view. As we were going away only for a couple of days, I packed light. However, I did take this coral midi…
A Little bit of Coco
There is something about hats that always fascinates me. I own a few, however when it comes to wearing them, more often or not, I find myself shying away. Hence my hats have seen more of the inside of my closet than the sun! This weekend I was determined to be brave and give my…
Buy or Admire
Ever since Alessandro Michele became the Creative Director for?Gucci, the brand’s style has evolved showcasing Michel’s?fascination with the Renaissance and the Baroque era giving it a modern romantic feel. The accessories from Gucci since the beginning of his reign are absolutely on point! However, Gucci being a very luxurious brand, is also very expensive. When…
Brunching with Pom Poms
Ok, so this has been another Sex and the City inspired outfit. Every time I binge watch a series, especially the ones with a female protagonist, I become her- the protagonist, first Serena from Gossip girl and now Carrie from Sex and the City. Thank god I haven’t seen Orange is the new Black. Orange…
Belle in Bluebell
When I first started packing for our holiday in Morocco, I knew immidiately that I wanted to take long, flowy dresses along, as the weather is really hot there.?So, when I saw this Kendall + Kylie midi dress on Shopbop, it was select-pay-checkout time in less than a minute. Bluebell being one of my favourite…
Hiking in Santorini like a Sunflower
This has been a holiday of off shoulder dresses. I have just realised that all the clothes I packed along for this holiday are off shoulder, so here it goes, another day, another off shoulder dress. When we came to Santorini, we decided to take it easy and plan each day as it came as…
Buy or Admire
I have always wanted a quilted denim bag. In my opinion, they add a certain element of casual chicness. Now, these are not very easy to find in the market. The most seen and well known one is the Chanel, however I wouldn’t be able to justify spending that kind of money on a denim…
No Rules, only Tulles
There is something about tulle skirts that I have always loved, but I never found one that dint look costume-ish until now. This skirt is knee length for me,?it is long enough to not look like a TuTu and yet short enough to not look like a prom skirt. I also find it very versatile….
Choker Vs. Dog Collar- A Man’s View on Fashion
This morning I wore my brand new denim choker necklace and looked at myself in the mirror and thought, damn, I love how amazing this necklace looks. No sooner did I think this, I turned and found my husband staring at me. “Hmm”, he silently said. “What?” I nudged, hoping to get a compliment from…
Wearing a Leather Jacket in the Desert
When I was little, I used to tell me mum that I wanted to move to a country with a temperate climate only so that when autumn and winter would come, I could fulfil my fantasy of wearing jackets! You see, growing up in hot and humid Mumbai- a jacket was never a necessary item…
Buy or Admire
All of us have window shopped at some point and hoped that we could have something that is very expensive. Well, thanks to the trickling of fashion trends from luxury brands into high streets brands, one can look a lot more expensive for less, i.e. you can choose whether you want to buy or admire….
Flats: A modern day Office Girl’s Basic Necessity
On the very first day of my working career, I remember dressing to impress. I bought myself a smart dress and a fancy pair of court shoes. However, on the day, there was a delay on the London underground. For a Londoner, this is common, but not wanting to be late on my very first…
The Blushing Pink Midi Dress
Ok, so you must know I am writing this post while watching re-runs of Gossip Girl and I have been binge watching it for the past couple of weeks. Hence, this dress makes me feel like I’m channeling my inner Serena van der Woodsen and some how reminds me of her style. I imagine, if…
The Boyfriend Shirt
Personal style is a funny thing. It is ever evolving. Some of the things I would have never worn a few years ago are now my go to favourites! Take wearing an over sized shirt for example. Being petite, I’m always very conscious of body proportions and wearing clothes that would suit my proportion. A…
Fashionably Forward at Fashion Forward
March marks the arrival Dubai’s fashion week, Fashion Forward. This year, I attended it on the third day and saw some incredible shows and presentations. Kage Bedouin Salta Dubai’s weather at the moment is all over the place. On the day I went to Fashion Forward, it was very windy and muggy. All I felt…
All Buckled Up!
Last Christmas was the first time in 5 years I spent the Christmas day with my parents! It was one of my favourite days in a very long time! In the evening, my mum insisted that we go to the mall and dragged to 8 stores before I finally found a bag I really liked…
A Perfect Day in March
March is my favourite month of the year, as it is my birthday month. This year I turned 27. To celebrate the day, I din’t want to do something extravagant, but still wanted to spend time with my friends. We went for breakfast to Culinary Boutique in Jumeirah, and is one of the nicest cafes…
The Lacy Jumper
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I love winters, and I love them even more in Dubai. Its technically winter, yet its like a cool summer’s day in England. However, some days it can get really cold here. For the past two months, I have been living my life in jumpers and have been loving it….
