Colour blocking and vegan luxury
Style Destino in Stella McCartney Falabella Clutch Bag
Zara skirt and shoes, Marccain tank and Stella McCartney Falabella bag
Its past midnight and my brain fog is becoming a hindrance in letting me write anything cleverer. But all I know is I am in the mood of brights and my piece of self-practised wisdom that always cheers me up in every situation is the choice I always have and that I can always exercise – staying in the bright side of things.
It reminds me of the beautiful words of Anne Frank – “Think of all the beauty around you and be happy”. Waking up to another day of light and sunshine, having yourself to you, being able to make the choice of being happy – happiness is within you. Allow today to be a reminder of what’s truly beautiful and let go of anything that troubles you.

As I was rummaging through my wardrobe, this summery tank caught my attention, and it seemed it was in a desperate need of colours. I searched every corner of my closet and pulled this cheery pink skirt and the perfect blue shoes (matching my manicure) to pair with the two of them. Once I was done the whole look seemed incomplete – it screamed for that “IT piece” to add some definition to the look. And Bang!! I immediately knew what did I need to pull together this outfit – my metallic Falabells clutch!! My favourite vegan falabella that I had carefully taken out only for dressier looks was tired of the pampering. It needed to get out in sunshine and be carefree. Just like what we need sometimes – no hang ups, no boundations – just being carefree.
Have a lovely weekend!!

P.S. These pictures were taken a while ago by young and vivacious photographer {and friend} Sakshi Parikh who insisted I show my face in this post. But I am not still out of my anonymous phase Sakshi, so bare with me. Maybe some day!!

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)
