New York Diary

Two Loves. Theater and Shoes.

I know the ordeal of having to look at other people's travel pictures. But I am travelling, so you'll have to grin and bear it. Its all about the reciprocation, you know!  So far, I have been to the glitziest place in the world-Yes, I'm talking about Times Square! Somewhere deep down there is a joy in having a hundred LCDs flashing colourful advertisements at you, and all in all, I would say the experience was..overwhelming? But the stores there were good. Really good.

Im crazy about the houndstooth pattern this winter!

Streaming Sunlight

Complete coincidence that these two walked past.

More Streaming Sunlight-Do you know how good the bright sun feels on a cold winter day?

Challenge: Spot my favourite store.

Your's truly, too pink in her opinion.

Street Art on Broadway

These are actually clocks, looked really cute with the tails of all kitties and doggies wagging in unison! 

These pictures are a mix between urban landscapes, trees with pretty leaves, and peoplewatching. I have here, 14 out of 100, so yes, you are welcome:P

The trees against glass fronted skyscraper-I see an interesting pattern!

Blue

After all, when your'e travelling alone, the little pleasures of the day are the cup of coffee and a solitary place to rest your mind a little bit. Which is why after a chaotic half-day at Times Square, I headed out to Bryant Park on 5th Avenue. All the pictures with the leaves and trees are from there, by the way.

Any suggestions as to what I should see in NYC? I have an unlimited metro card at my disposal and lots of time on my hands!:)



Love,

Ice Cold

Before I came to NY, I was extremely apprehensive if I would survive in the cold or not. I have always been cat-like, there's nothing I like better than curling up and staying warm at all times. But surprisingly, with the right clothes, the cold can be quite an exhilarating experience! 

 Just for the record, it was 1 degree Celsius and Windy, and I was freezing my hands off! Interspersed are a few pictures of this beautiful city, just as it is, in these cold grey days.

 Boots-Aerosole
Cap,Fur Scarf-HnM
Jacket-Forever21
Sweater dress, leggings,bag-Borrowed from the Sister!

Signing off now, there's so much to do! Tomorrow is going to be a fine day weather wise(I'm hoping for some sunshine) and I hope to click lots of pictures of the city!

Lots of Love,
Shubhi!

Butterflies on a Jewelled Tree

 My sister is a super stylish girl, and you can tell just by the way she stores her earrings. And she is very extremely organized, atleast 10 times more organized than me. I have NEVER seen such a beautiful jewel tree in my whole life... Not to mention the enviable earring collection!

I have reached New York, and there's so much to do and so much to write about, I don't know where to begin! It snowed the first day I was here, what a perfect start to a trip!
Hope you'll have a fabulous weekend!

Love,
Shubhi!

I Will Write To You

Dear Readers, I am off! As I said in my last post, to New York City!
Just dropped in to tell you that I will write to you..

Doesn't that sound incredibly old fashioned and romantic? I would have loved to live in an era where everybody had their own special notepaper and wrote letters!

Love,
Shubhi!

Lipcolour Tales

       Okay, don't worry, I'm not really going to tell you a big boring tale. I rarely use make-up, but I firmly believe that by the a girl turns 20, she should have found The perfect lipstick shade!Its my own theory, in case you wondered where I read it.
I'm a couple of years late, but better late then never, eh?

      Its been a long, winding road to finding this colour. I tried all kinds of reds before, and a friend actually asked me if I had just eaten an Ice Lolly. Here in my country, we have ice lollies called 'gola' in various gaudy hues that colour your mouth up temporarily!

       So anyway, this is an amazing pinkish-red shade that I found. And a very critical friend of mine approved of it too, so I'm pretty sure it's THE one for me! Oh the happiness!

      Oh by the way, Its from Colorbar, and cost me a meagre Rs 195/-! And though it not even remotely brick-red-ish, it is called 'Brick-O-La' for some inconceivable reason. Do I care?

      I'm taking a brief blogging break, because I am travelling to the United States! So come next week, I'll be your faithful correspondent from the second fashion capital of the world, NYC!  Hope the freezing weather permits this Mumbai(Read: A Hot, humid, blissfully sunny city) Girl to click pictures!

Love,
Shubhi!

Badass Princess

Sometimes don't you just feel so completely fearless and badass? Even if your'e not actually like that, you have those phases. Well,  if you aren't, donning this would certainly get you believing you are. Or go watch Fight club.

Try it.

Enchanted Woods

The weather is just perfect, easy enough to wear a flimsy maxi dress and chilly enough to top it up with a fuzzy scarf!

For more pictures and updates, join me on facebook. Hope you will have a super smashin weekend!

Love,

Shubhi!

Bag It!

This is a DIY bag I have been meaning to show you for ever so long! It is modified, actually. The original bag was boring and unused. 

Materials used: Coir rope(which is twined around the handles).

Acryllic paint(With which I painted the queen's face and the lavender accents)

Stick on pearls!

 

 

Tomorrow is Diwali, the festival of lights! The windows are decorated with fairy lights and lanterns, The doorways with oil lamps, and there is a stack of areal fireworks waiting to be lit! And lets not forget the sweets and all other super stuff.

Its my favourite festival of the year, and I am off to celebrate!

Love,
Shubhi!

No Words

Dreams

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?


Love,

Shubhi!

Golden Dusk

Dusk is probably my favourite time to shoot pictures! This is the first professional photoshoot Iv'e done, with a school friend who is a freelance model- Aren't the pictures gorgeous?

 I was so excited I've wanted to share them with you for the longest time!

 I'm looking forward to do more portfolio shoots- you can contact me at shubhangi90@gmail.com or on twitter.  Hope you all are having a fabulous week. As for me, I am busy preparing for two major things- One, an exam, and second, a trip. Details coming up later!

Lots of Love,
Shubhi!
