I don’t think autumn has arrived yet in Mumbai, but I was in an autumn mood. Mumbai summer sucks!!!! As much as I love dressing up for summers, I kind of miss the Autumn feel in Mumbai. The transition from summer to winter is my most anticipated time of the year.
I dug out this tartan shirt from my closet and a wonderful knit bag I haven’t worn since ages. This tartan checked shirt made its way into my wardrobe a few years ago during a shopping trip to London. It’s a delish piece, but didn’t get a chance to wear it more than once. Paired it with my black jeans, which I cuffed till the ankle (can’t really make out the fold in the picture) and added my platform heels.
And where did I go?
My Sunday started with an architecture exhibition at Balwant Seth School of Architecture in Juhu. The only time I ever visited an art-related exhibition was in my university, dragged by a friend. I was the most observant person with that look on the face ‘hey I am a serious art aficionado, DND’. But the truth was, I trying to make sense out of the pieces, which were all Latin to me, and was wondering, why am I here?
How did I land here? Again a friend, but this time I totally loved it. The architect-to-be created these most beautiful pieces as part of their project which required them to create installations representing skin structure of various animals and plants. Friend’s cousin who was a part of it was kind enough to explain the structures in detail and what went into making it, which made sense.
First time I thought, architecture is just as serious as finance. The thought that goes into it is mind-boggling.
Here’s the chameleon………….
and the armadillas…
Ahh, I thought of giving this picture an autumn feel. Sod it, I will just imagine it in my mind. I remember when I used to live in England and in autumn the trees would start to change color, they would turn red, orange and yellow and the the whole city would look like the most beautiful postcard.
Sunday also yielded a little shopping spree. Visited Mango (sale at this time of the year? I hate Mango sales, its a mad house during sale), Nine West and Rohit Gandhi+Rahul Khanna’s Cue at Bandra.
I liked a bag and shoes from Nine West. As much as I love sling backs, especially the heeled black ones, the square on the front was too big for my petite frame, it looked overwhelming on my feet.
Loved this bag though and bought it. Badly needed a nice black bag. What I loved about it was, despite being small, it was quite roomy. Can’t wait to wear it!!!
I am seriously in love with autumn and dressing up for the season. No worries, I will go against Mumbai weather to please myself, what are ACs for?
