Starting with the classic – Black and White

 

There’s absolutely nothing like the classic combination of black and white. It works magic and looks really pleasing.

It feels so nice when you see things as either black or white, with no grey areas. As a person I’ve always believed in not having grey areas. Grey areas usually create confusions and make your life complicated. Shouldn’t life be simple?

It’s so interesting how sometimes one thing leads to another and how the same thing can be interpreted in so many ways. Take for example black, white and grey. I just googled the term black, white and grey areas and found two very different arguments. One was close to what I said about having things as black and white to keep things simple. While other interpretation of black, white and grey was – one should not be staunch about their beliefs and not categorise everything as black and white. There is a need for some space for grey areas to explore life and leave room for change and be receptive to other ideas.

Now I’m steering towards psychology and its best to avoid it right now, otherwise I’m afraid I would end up writing an essay on this (and I’m sure you wouldn’t want to read it).

The black and white movie era also has its charm – their vintage style, pretty actresses, dramatic movies. Although I haven’t seen many black and white flicks, but from the few I did, I totally loved Casablanca. Great romance, clever dialogues and great fashion sense.

Chic and elegant – this white blouse and black skirt felt the perfect way to start off the new year. Paired it with my trusty slingbacks and this leopard print bag I recently got from my Hong Kong trip (at a bargain).

Despite copious amount of planning, I stayed home for the New Year’s eve. And after partying for years, it was a surprisingly pleasant change and a wonderful way to start the year 2012.
A simple non-fuss look that wouldn’t take more than a few minutes to put together but will still look stylish and elegant was on my mind when I put together this outfit. Nothing beats the white and black combination.
What’s your favourite evergreen look?

don’t travel solo…
“you’re married, go with your husband” — We’ve all heard this before… 
but here’s the truth… solo travel hits different.

you reconnect with yourself, travel at your own pace, do things you love {and finally do everything you wanted to but was always pushing it back}, 🍰 eat what you want (all those vegan desserts without anyone watching you ☺️🙃), talk to strangers (a lot), sit alone without feeling weird ….. and somewhere in all that, you meet yourself.

scary? Not at all.
worth it? every single time. ✨

Did you know your fav lipstick may have bug juice 🐞 ? Shocking?
Truth is - most lipsticks in the market contain 
🐞 carmine = crushed cochineal beetles
🐑 lanolin = grease derived from sheep’s wool (waxy greasy substance secreted by sheep’s skin)
🐝 beeswax = bee vomit

Who wants to slather their lips with bug juice? 
☺️ Didn’t think so.

Thankfully, there are plenty of brands doing it right. 💄  I’ve put together a handy list so you can shop vegan lipstick with ease:

👉🏻 #VeganLipstick Brands: 
@violette_fr, @elfcosmetics, @kvdbeauty @milkmakeup, @tower28beauty, @inikaorganic @axiology_beauty, @lilylolouk @rarebeauty, 

👉🏻 Cruelty-Free brands with Vegan options:
🐰 cruelty-free doesn’t mean a product is vegan. It simply means it’s not tested on animals, so be careful. 
@tartecosmetics @rmsbeauty, @doseofcolors (most products are vegan), @charlottetilbury, @glossier @urbandecaycosmetics @nyxcosmetics 

🇮🇳 Vegan Indian makeup brands
@asabeautyindia @kirobeauty @disguisecosmetics @colorchemistry.in @lovechildbymasaba @hyueofficial 

Next time you buy makeup – make sure it’s #crueltyfree and #vegan! And look out for 
- Natural Red 4
- E120
- *CI 75470 (misspelled in video as CI 17470 🙈)
- Carmine or Carmine lake
- Cochineal extract 
- Carminic Acid

👆🏼 they’re all different names of carmine (bug juice)
