(Wearing : Stripped Tee – Zara, Skirt – Mango, Boots – Paris, Sunglasses – Mango

All I have been doing off-late is watch re runs of some of my favorite movies(Wonder Boys, Garden State, Station Agent, Paris je t’aime ) making mixed tapes and drowning myself in stripes. A) Stripes are still mad hot in my world B) For Visual distraction. It’s a rad rad trend to be following.

500 days of summer is here, I am not even exaggerating. The heat wave has successfully fried my brain. Have been sucked into the youtube black hole again and all I do is listen to songs and make virtual mixed tapes to send to people.”Everybody is Free To Wear Sunscreen”  is an incredibly cute song which for some reason I always associate with summer.Watch Watch !!

Bangalore has tons of weekend getaway options inside a 300 km radius. Chikmagalore , the land of home-stays and coffee estates happens to be one such dreamy destination. This was on my travel checklist for a while now.

When The Serai invited me to Chikmangalore with 8 other bloggers to celebrate women’s day, post the first 15 mins of screaming with joy, suddenly dawned that I had nothing remotely fashionable to wear. I barely buy clothes, most of what I own is pretty incredible if the intention is to pull off the sloppy chic or the grunge look, which obviously wasn’t the first choice of my style manifest for the trip. I had two days to finish my shopping chores and post sale season is a very odd time to indulge. You are used to slashed price tags and then suddenly you face the full price phenomena. However when you have puritan intentions about clothes the universe mostly comes to your rescue. I was strolling during my lunch hour and happened to walk past the new Tibetian plaza located in Kormangala (Bangalore). One small little store inside for some strange reason was selling everything on display for measly amounts. I snagged this dress and one other top. I am back from one of the most beautiful and blissful weekends at The Serai in Chickmangalore. Tons of pictures and stories about coffee, food, cycling, pampering, swimming and midnight pool party to follow soon.

A few days ago Lagori, Bangalore based band was looking for some fun outfit ideas for their gigs. We decided to touch base with Breakbounce. They sent over a couple of t-shirts and a smart pair of fitted khakis. I did a fun shoot with them in mayflower covered Cubbon Park.

The makers of casual street menswear clothing. Nothing can be more vexing than shopping with most men. Breakbounce is about to make this task a little bit easier with their colorful and young collection. Interesting detailing coupled with good quality is how I would describe the collection. One of the few brands to have incorporated colors quite well that men will not shy away from. Tees, well fitted trousers, shorts and shirts they have them all. The spring summer collection should be out soon on Myntra, stalk their Breakbounce website for more.
