The Week That Was

{Hot Cup of Cocoa}

New trick. At the end of every work week, review the week and see what makes you happy, what tasks you've completed and what tasks need completion. It helps reviewing your efficiency (or inefficiency) and improving it. It'll also make you happy and more content. 

Its been a nice relaxed week for me. I spent some time moving things around, pampering myself with hot Cocoa and digging up old memories. I am looking forward to seeing my Dad tomorrow, who comes bearing gifts! Also, setting up a few projects for the coming week:

- Get a haircut and bangs

- Faster and more laps at the pool

- Convince mom and dad to let me adopt the cutest pups you've ever seen (Unless you'd like to adopt one - contact me if you do!)

Enjoy your weekend!

LwW Loves: Knots and Crosses

{Inspired by Cat from TakeCourageBlog}

Winter! My favourite time of year (in India). You'll hear me say this a lot if I'm writing from here. My favourite thing about winter, jumpers! I love to wear my jumpers with a white or off-white based shirt or blouse underneath. But, an excellent accessory to the jumper and shirt is a black ribbon tie. At other times, I like to use a narrow width scarf and tie a big loose bow.

To get this look, you can do either of two things. If you went to the same Uni as Cat and I, you could probably just use your black neck tie. 

Else, pick up a narrow width black satin ribbon and cut it to your ideal length and tie a double knot, setting both lengths of the ribbon upwards, and you're rocking the look! 

Tying the knot (Just in case!):

• First, tie a simple knot. 
• Then, placing one length over the other, take the length (that naturally comes) at the bottom and face it upwards. 
• Cross the bottom length over the top, then under and through the loop (second simple knot of the double knot).
• Pull the lengths so they make up the knot and yank and set the ribbon so that they sit fancy side up.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2012

I'm so excited about Chanel's Pre-Fall 2012 collection. Chanel is all out Indian this Pre-Fall. In fact, its giving Indian designers a run for their money, something I'm sure none of the Indian designers are too happy about. One field of fashion they could confidently call their own... well, no more. What's more, such a beautiful and elegant India-inspired collection by Karl Lagerfeld, and apparently he's never even visited India. "Its the Paris version of the idea of India", says Lagerfeld. Modeling the collection you can find Indian models like Lakshmi Menon and Jyothsna Chakravarthy as well. 

Check out Chanel's Pre-Fall India Inspired Collection called Paris-Bombay Métiers d'Arts. And when I say India-inspired, I mean Anarkalis, Churidars to Tikkas and Chappals. 

Also find in the collection, 'Diwali', Chanel's latest nail color. You know what's next on LwW Loves? Yup. You guessed it!

Find the rest of the Pre-Fall Collection here.

Now Playing: Blogger Playlist

Time for an IFB Project! Project #24: Blogger Playlist. Also, don't forget to check out my holiday gift guide for music fans below! (Hint: Its got something to do with the first two photos)

Coming back to the project, I basically get to share with you what I'm listening to, on (perpetual) loop. I'd think twice before I put it all out. Why? Because. I'd like to have left it at that, but they say your playlist says a lot about your personality.

Oh well. 

My playlist usually has pumped up music which keeps me in a happy and active mood at all times (very important!). Occasionally though, you'll find some soul music there, like Adele's stuff that has some great melodies. 

There was a time when I was an alternative-rock-crazy person back in school and still revisit it sometimes. But mostly, I'm dancing to the tunes of 'partay' music! I call my playlist (on my Phone) ...Summer 2011... sigh... memories. 

Okay. I digress. Again. Back to the playlist - Argh! .. huff huff.. here goes:

As I mentioned above, here is my version of a holiday gift guide (partial though) ... for music lubbers! 

1. Gelaskin for iPhone, iPod, or any other device you have. "I like this music" by 'Exploding Dog' $14.95 

2. Panasonic RP HTX7 Old School Monitor Stereo Headphones Very cool. $69.99 

or find it on Amazon for as low as $29.99

LwW Loves: Oversize Gold Watch

LwW Loves: Oversized Gold Watch! I've been waiting for a bit to do this post and then I just forgot about it. My friend and I were getting our watches around the same time, but her's got lost in transit and I could not bring myself to put this up. 

Until. 

My friend got her watch! *throws confetti* 

Well, its definitely doing the trends. But it looks a-mazing. Try out a good size for yourself. Men's watches may be too big, but most of 'em have come out with dials that look comfortable on a woman's wrist. I wear a Guess Gold Crystal Dial watch. Though I am also loving Michael Kors Golden Oversize Runway watch!

Check out more of this trend:

At Cupcakes and Cashmere.

At Atlantic-Pacific.
