Ditching my dresses and skirts for a change and putting together a country outfit for the weekend, except for the hat. Keeping my hair messy like always and wearing a pair of earrings that I very rarely do. Completing the look with my brown boots, I’m ready to get a lot of things done today so I can have a exciting Sunday tomorrow with my favorite people.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Places that seem free of restrictions and just about right during location scouting unnecessarily become the most difficult places to shoot. I have always wondered why the local crowd gets paranoid when they see someone with a camera. From security guards shooing us away while in the middle of the shoot, people stopping their vehicles to see what’s going on and weird stares of the passers-by- I’ve experienced it all. Shooting this post unsurprisingly was challenging too when the caretaker of the place just refused to let our camera inside. However, we somehow managed to sneak it in and got some quick shots, not in the places I had planned though.

 Featured in this post is this asymmetrical dress and a black neckpiece. Samprada is a store that showcases clothes for modern women with an Indian touch. The store believes in the idea of preserving the textile heritage of the country using the art of hand block printing. I love how the prints have been blended into western wear giving the garments a fusion feel. The store has everything from easy breezy dresses for summers, scarves in beautiful prints, summer jackets to interesting jewelry and knick-knacks. Do check out their website and Facebook page to browse through their collection. You are sure to find a lot of stuff for the season.

CASUAL SUNDAY 

-EDITORIAL-

Photography by Rutvik Katuri | Styling & Modelling by Naznin Suhaer

Sometimes it’s fun to just play a model and let the photographer take the shotgun in terms of deciding the mood of the story. Working with new people is always exciting and the amalgamation of ideas that transpire during the discussions always brings out something different from what one has done before. Rutvik is a talented and well established fashion photographer from Hyderabad. When he discussed the idea of working with me on something like this, I was all in for a new experience. It was very interesting to see how he played with lights to achieve what he had envisioned. If I may say so, it was the most professional experience with a photographer so far with some really high-tech stuff at the studio. Thank you Rutvik for letting me play my favorite music on the shoot. And of course, for such amazing work and having me be a part of it!

A SUMMER SONG

Top - Mohr | Skirt – Zalora | Sandals – Truffle | Sunglasses – Old  | Bag - Toniq

The smell of watermelons, the feeling when you head out post-shower with a floral fragrance in your hair, the cool breeze in the heat and orange popsicles – keeping the fact aside that I dread heat, summers are beautiful and so much fun. Especially when you are at home listening to something like this and taking an extended nap after a sumptuous meal; or going out in the evening at the sunset in a pretty floral dress. My version of summers. I'm sure you have your own. 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I promise to be back soon with yet another post for all you lovely people. Till then, follow me here. And yeah! Happy Sunday!

“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it” – Jim Goodwin

Easier said than done for workaholics like me who rarely tend to take a break. But like I promised myself last year, I have been scheduling myself for little breaks to unwind.  Last month, I was invited by the O2 Spa at Novotel to review their spa and beauty services. I was allowed to choose any service of my choice. I chose the Balinese Massage and a Coco Butter Deep Moisturizing Wrap which I was very excited to try.

For the massage, the masseuse used lavender oil that is meant to leave a calming effect and induce sleep. Happens to be the essential oil for my zodiac (Gemini). The massage lasted for about 60 mins and every stroke was extremely relaxing. It was followed by steam that lets the oil soak into the skin completely and eases one's mind, body and soul. Such a luxuriating experience!

The next treatment carried out was the Coco Butter Deep Mositurizing wrap. The masseuse got the yummiest smelling coco butter and the mix was applied all over the skin. I was literally wrapped in cellophane so the coco worked on my skin for 30 mins. That followed a hot shower and a ginger herb tea which was extremely refreshing. The whole treatment left me completely rejuvenated. Plus, the fact that it is located at Novotel makes it a great choice if you are planning for a stay or a just want to spend a day by the pool under the palm trees and have some great food.
Wore a white and blue striped dress with a sleeveless shrug knotted at the waist for a cool resort vibe and a dash of grey on my eyes.

With a rejuvenated soul and a relaxed mind & body, we returned, only to come back and throw ourselves into our comfiest beds and wake up the next morning after a good 10 hr sleep.  After the continuous shoots I’ve had recently,  it’s probably time I go for another pampering experience. Much needed.

Moving away from dark hues and slowly transitioning my closet into a summer-ready one. Think whites, pastels, florals and lots of airy and light fabrics. Made two loose braids in this post and wore a pinkish-peachy shade which I'm absolutely in love with. My take on Summer 2016! What is yours?
