Where the sun always shines

You’ve seen this before, but I loved it (outfit inspired by post Colours of India).

Fashion for me has never been about following a certain trend, although of course inspiration abound. I feel style is like life, it evolves with your exprience and exposure. It is in a constant state of flux and refinement.

I’ve been trying to find my feet between me (two yrs back [known as the black clad lady]) and me (now) sartorially; and finally I found my spot. I was never a risk averse person (for as long as I remember) so why the holding back? Fashion for me is now about “why not?”. And this outfit with a burst of colours is just a re-iteration of it.

 

 

Zara Skirt, D&G Cardigan and Sunglasses, Warehouse Shirt, River Island Shoes, Ring own design

Yellow and Pink? Why not. Red and Yellow? Sounds great. Brown and Orange? Sure. It’d sound crazy on paper but all of it mixed together?  Wooooooooooo. The excitement of clashing colours was strong enough that paying heed to any piece of colour co-ordinating advice could not have stopped me. Why restrain the inner desire to expreriment and be naughty?

All right before I go, have to share this. The bright sun and all these happy colours and the peppiness emanating from me is getting me to sing “Pocketful of Sunshine” (oh this singing wouldn’t last very long. All the summer fun and its fancy is short-lived in Bombay. The soaring temperature and aggravating humidity does not leave any room for it).

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)
