NEW Sugar Cosmetics Nothing Else Matter Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics has launched a new formula, Nothing Else Matter Powder Matte Longwear Lipsticks.

They have launched 11 shades for now and these are priced at Rs.499/- for 3.5g

Claims: The lipstick of your fantasies is finally here. Get ready to applaud utter gorgeousness itself – SUGAR Nothing Else Matter Longwear Lipstick. We bring you the rich experience of a lipcolour which has smooth application, intense water-resistance, premium opaque matte finish that doesn’t feel heavy on the lips and a plush comfortable wear. Long-lasting and delivering utmost perfection to your pout are the 11 extraordinary shades to complement every mood, every day. For the woman who likes to live her life on her own terms and who doesn’t get bothered by the world even a tad bit – This. Is It! And, nothing else matters.

SUGAR Nothing Else Matter Longwear Lipstick has a soft, matte premium finish that settles in an intense, opaque look. It is water-resistant and masks the unevenness of the lips. The paraben-free formula stays all day long without any fade. This product is dermatologically tested & approved and 100% safe for your skin.

Buy HERE

The packaging is similar to their It’s A Pout Time Vivid and Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks but the cap shuts quite tight and is very secure.

One issue with this packaging is they are all plain black and now can’t differentiate between these 3 formulas too.

I love the pigmentation and texture, it’s a plush, powder matte look and feel, just as it claims. It is super comfortable on the lips and very light weight. It doesn’t feel like you have any lipstick on. I am all about the matte finish but have dry lips, so this fills in the lines and doesn’t accentuate them and is still matte.

It doesn’t transfer much, there is minimal transfer and stays put easily for 7-8 hours. With a full oil based meal, might need touch up at the centre but is very easy to touch up and layer.

01 Browning Glory, 02 Red Rush, 03 Rust Have, 04 Nude Vibes, 05 Coral Dilemma

Although this is made in China, usually all Sugar lipsticks are made in Italy or Germany, the formula or pigmentation is pretty good and Sugar quality as usual.

I absolutely love it, and highly recommend it 🙂

OOTD: For The Love of Orange

Hi guys,

I am doing an outfit post after ages! I didn’t shoot anything new since Sept, almost 5-6 months apart from 1-2 campaigns in between which were not proper outfit shoots as such.

My photographer was busy with weddings and I wasn’t too keen in between. I had a bunch of things to shoot this time from this dress, to shoes and bag. I have also shopped a lot in the past 2-3 months from ShopBop, Zara and online H & M and Lulu & Sky, so expect more shoots and posts 😀

We did three outfits this time, and the first one was this. It’s a little difficult to get the venue and match the availability of photographer, venue and me i.e. on days when I don’t have events, shoots or any family stuff. So shooting 2-3 outfits at one go works best. But after two changes and clicking the third outfit, it gets a bit tiring :p

So anyhoo, coming back to this bright orange dress! I love yellow and orange, they are my favourite colours, apart from red. Anything bright and colourful and I am instantly attracted. I am loving mustard yellow, sunflower yellow, this orange and all sunset hues this summer (in fact, all year round :D)

This orange straight fit dress is from Afamado. It’s neither a shift dress nor a tight bodycon, but a straight, comfortable fit which hugs your body but doesn’t cling it.

Afamado has sizes from S to 6XL, so you can be any size and still you can get the dresses and they even have a ‘Made to Measure’ option where they can customize the outfit for you as per your exact measurements.

When I got this dress initially, it was quite loose and then they altered it for me. I lost some weight and it’s still a little loose, I clipped it from behind so that it gives a better fit 😀 But basically, it’s a boon for people who do not find the correct size in clothes as per their body type or have basic, boring things which they never like.

I love the interesting cold shoulder ruffled sleeves it has. I am not into sleeveless clothing, and this works perfectly for me. It’s not see through or sheer and I didn’t have to layer anything underneath.

Truffle Collection

I paired it with nude bow design shoes from Truffle Collection, these are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and I have many! I am not comfortable wearing heels for a long period of time, but these I can wear. They are super comfortable and light weight, does not give any shoe bites plus look so cute! They work with everything from dresses to denims.

Loeffler Randall

I chose this colourful Loeffler Randall sling with round pom pom kind of floral work on it. This bag is super cute and colourful and even though the dress is bright, the shoes were nude and the accents of this bag matched the dress well as it had orange too.

Overall I really liked this outfit and how it came through. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below 🙂

Also I am looking for something lemon print, top or dress, do let me know if you find it :p

Dress: Afamado
Shoes: Truffle Collection
Bag: Loeffler Randall

Sugar Matte As Hell Lip Crayons 12, 13, 14 Swatches

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics has added three new shades to their Matte As Hell Lip Crayons. I have reviewed Sugar Lip Crayons before on the blog HERE and HERE

And the 6 shades added in June, no. 6 to 11 HERE

MRP: Rs.799/- (Buy HERE)

GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com

The formula is super pigmented and matte, you get an intense colour pay off in one swipe. It comes with a sharpener and is easy to sharpen and use, the clean point gives a nice edge to define the lips.

These are not transfer proof,  but they stay pretty long. It has stayed on me for 5-6 hours minimum and fades after a full complete meal. It doesn’t vanish completely, but just fades and you can easily reapply it.

12 Baby Houseman is described as Deep Pink. It’s a gorgeous plummy pink, something that will work for all skin tones, even dusky skin tones.

13 Murphy Brown is described as Chocolate Burgundy and it is exactly that. This shade is perfect for fall and again would work for all skin tones.

14 Violet Crawley is described as Smokey Violet. It is a medium violet with grey undertones, not something everyone would like or can carry. This one is also slightly streaky.

Here are the swatches..

L-R: Baby Houseman, Murphy Brown, Violet Crawley

I love 12 and 13, would recommend getting both! 12 Baby Houseman would also work really well with Indian festive looks.

Which is your favourite shade?

Tips & Tricks to Click the Perfect Makeup Selfie

Tips & Tricks to Click the Perfect Makeup Selfie

Hi guys,

Now if you follow me on Instagram, you know I post a lot of selfies! Majority are clicked on the spot, coz I get the best lighting in the car which is not direct and yet bright enough near the windows.

I am using the new Coolpad Note 5 and have clicked quite a few selfies with this. The camera offers Night mode, Beauty Mode and Pro mode. You can adjust everything manually in the Pro mode.

It also has Watermark, Long Exposure, GIF and Panorama settings.

Here are few tips and tricks to click the perfect selfie, I have included the Do’s and Dont’s in pic form.

1. Always click facing the light, not against

This is the most important thing. Face the window or a source of light when you click a picture, never the opposite side of the window or the window being behind you. See the difference here..

When the source of light is behind, the picture would be very dark, and also your dark circles would be emphasized.

2. Try and use the rear/back camera

Majority phones have a better rear camera and the sharpness and clarity would make a huge difference. Now you may not be able to see where and how it is being clicked, but with practice, you will find the perfect angle 😀

See the pic above with the front and rear camera..

3. Keep the phone slightly above the face angle

Never keep your phone below your face angle while clicking, that is the most unflattering angle for your face and would also show up your double chin :/ Clicking from above gives a defined face structure and jaw line 😉 See the difference..

4. Never click exactly from the centre

Now when you keep the phone exactly at the centre, you may look squint as both your pupils face the lens and also the features are not very flattering from the centre. Slightly tilt your face towards left or right, whichever side is your best angle. You will find it with trial and error. See the difference here from the centre and slightly tilted..

5. Basic makeup for the perfect picture

Now we have the ‘Beauty’ feature to make us look pretty even without makeup, but a little concealer and brightening the under eye area and high points of your face, will also make a huge difference. Always use a concealer for under eyes, bridge of nose, center of forehead. Use a nice, bright lipstick, pink, red or berry. Bright lipsticks instantly brighten your complexion. Now I have not crossed the pic with nude lipstick here, as nude is also OK but bright is better! A little blush and highlighter would give a nice flush to the skin and give a dewy appearance to the skin. A good volumizing mascara will open up your eyes.

6. Use the ‘Night’ mode

If your phone has a Night mode, make sure you use it for all the pictures clicked during night time. With regular camera mode, the pictures may turn out to be more grainy and unclear.

7. Editing

When all else fails, a little bit of editing helps 😀 Crop your picture to hide something unflattering or when you do not want a particular area to be included. VJ Anusha doesn’t like her big forehead and the veins showing, so she usually clicks cutting her forehead or crops it later. Also adjusting the Brightness/Contrast/Structure/Warmth makes a lot of difference. I use Aviary and Snapseed.

And still if you are not happy with your pictures, there are always ‘Filters’ 🙂

I hope you liked these tips, I tried to include pretty much everything.

I am loving these pics clicked with the all new Coolpad Note 5. It has 13 MP rear camera and 8MP front camera with LED flash. You will be amazed hearing the price, it’s only Rs. 10999/-

OPPO F1 Plus Selfie Expert Review, Comparision

Hi guys,

If you remember I reviewed the OPPO F1 phone before, see HERE. They had announced the launch of F1 Plus at the same event, but the official launch happened on 6th April at Hotel Lalit in Delhi. I had gone to Delhi for the event for a day. See the entire vlog and event details in my vlog below, Yuvraj Singh was also present at the event 😀 He came even with his ankle injury!

Anyhoo, coming back to the phone, OPPO F1 Plus. I am obviously no tech expert, so would not be reviewing from that point of view, though I am a tech and gadget freak! Also being a blogger, I am present on every social media channel on earth and use my phone 24/7 for everything from clicking pictures to updating you guys on social channels, replying to mails, etc. The best part of this phone is obviously the front camera, as the name goes ‘Selfie Expert’. The front cam is 16MP,f/2.0 which allows four times more light compared to other smartphones.

Price: INR 26,990/-

Colors Available: Gold and Rose Gold

I have been using the phone ever since the event and it’s been quite some time now, so it’s the perfect time to review it. To start with, it’s very light weight (only 145g) though standard 5.5 inches, you do not feel this phone at all even in your pocket.

I have the Color Gold which I like a little more than Rose Gold, coz of the deep matte gold finish. Also it is super comfortable to hold and ergonomically designed to fit in your hands.

The thick Corning Gorilla Glass 4 does not need a scratch guard. I bought one and when I was just about to place it, I realized this phone doesn’t need one. The glass is super thick and scratch resistant, I did not feel adding another layer was required.

It has it’s own Operating System Color OS 3.0 and the Lollipop version of Android, it is pretty smooth and fast untill now, quite impressed with the OS. I have always been on Android and can safely say, this OS is quite good.

It has 64GB internal memory which is expandable externally upto 128GB, there are very few phones in the market offering that! The 4GB RAM is sufficient and the phone never lagged even once, though I am not a gaming person, so did not try that. For me, I have 10-15 apps working all the time, and none stopped responding at any time.

I have always been using a dual sim phone and that is my priority when I have to select a phone for myself. I am so glad this is dual sim with both being 4G enabled.

Specs

Other notable features are fingerprint scanner, WiFi Direct, fast battery VOOC Flash charging, etc.

Coming to the main part and my favourite, the camera! It has 13MP rear camera with f/2.2 with auto focus, face detection and even Beauty and Panaroma features. The Beautify 4.0 brightens the skin and removes all blemishes, so without makeup, it gives a made up look 😀 I love the Ultra HD mode which gives super crisp and bright pictures and the GIF creator which is super fun! GIF creator option is also available for the front camera. It also has a range of inbuilt filters which lets you select a filter even before clicking a picture! My favourites are ‘Elegant’ and ‘British’. The rear camera also has an ‘Expert Mode‘ which lets you control the ISO and exposure, so even if you are a pro photographer, this will give you the freedom to work your way.

Beautify 4.0

The 16MP front camera has wide f/2.0 lens which allows more light in pictures coz of it’s unique sensor technology, so now you get bright selfies even in low light and during night time. And now fit in all your friends in a selfie with the amazing ‘Selfie Panaroma’ feature 😀 The ISOCELL technology reduces the noise in selfies, giving you super clear and sharp selfies. My favourite feature though is ‘Double Exposure‘ which helps you click two pictures in motion and combines them into one. I haven’t found a subject yet to use that, but I will be using it soon and would be posting it on my Instagram, so follow me there 😀

It also captures videos at 1080p@30fps, I would be using it for my vlogs too. Also love the ‘Time Lapse‘ feature! I am clearly bowled by the camera features.

I also compared it to Samsung Galaxy A7. It looks quite similar, weighs almost the same and the specifications and features too are similar. The Samsung A7 Operating System is so slow and it was a pain to use comparatively. It runs on Kitkat which is upgradable to Lollipop. I am not sure what exactly is the problem, but you need real patience to use Samsung A7.

I have also compared the selfies and pics taken with both the phones. Samsung camera is pretty sharp too and love the clear pictures, but in terms of catching the true colours, OPPO F1 Plus is the clear winner.

OPPO F1 Plus has all the features and specifications that of iPhone6, some even better and at half the price! I totally recommend checking out OPPO F1 Plus, see more HERE

OPPO F1 Launch & First Impressions

 Hi guys,

Last week I attended the launch event of #OPPOF1 and they also announced their association with ICC. They are soon launching F1 Plus too.

Currently the F1 sales start this week. The tagline of F1 goes ‘Bright & Beautiful, Selfie Expert OPPO F1′. And rightly so, this phone has an excellent camera.

Let me tell you a little more about the camera:

Dubbed as the “Selfie Expert”, the F1 features a standout 8 MP front-facing camera with a wide f/2.0 aperture lens and a 1/4-inch sensor, a sophisticated Pure Image 2.0+ photography platform offering OPPO’s Beautify 3.0 feature, OPPO’s patented Screen Flash to make snapping selfies in low-light conditions, and can shoot selfies using hand gestures and spoken commands, ensuring stunning selfies in all conditions.

The F1 also features a 13 MP rear camera with an ISOCELL sensor, the phase detection autofocus (PDAF) with a focus time of just 0.1s, and the anti-shake optimization feature which enables the camera to automatically select the clearest image from a huge buffer of image data the moment the shutter button is pressed.

The F1 is specially designed with powerful software and hardware to make capturing stunning selfies a breeze, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 series Octa-core processor with 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM, all backed by OPPO’s spectacular build quality with a silk feeling metal panel.

It comes with a charger, head phones, two guides and a transparent silicone cover. I am glad they have head phones and cover too, and the head phones are pretty good quality.

Colors available: Rose Gold and Gold

Price: Rs.15990/-

The phone is also 4G enables and is so thin and light, the design is mind blowing. Read more here http://bit.ly/1JeFXYw

I am absolutely in love with the design, it is super thin and very light weight. The dull gold matte finish looks very classy and elegant and it is the lightest phone I have ever used and carried. Plus the four contoured corners are also well designed giving it a sleek look. It also comes in matte rose gold which is again beautiful.

The camera also comes with Beautify 3.0 option which makes your selfies look pretty! The front 8MP camera works even in low light conditions and still gives you pretty bright and clear selfies. The front camera selfie pictures are also all high resolution and crisp.

Here is my selfie taken with the front camera without any filter or Beautify option, it in itself is so bright and clear.

Selfie Oppo F1 Front Cam

And a pic taken with the rear camera.

Rear Cam Oppo F1

The camera and design is excellent and I have not come across a phone as classy looking and light weight as this in this price range yet! I highly recommend checking out OPPO F1, the sales start this week in all major cities and also online.

The best thing about OPPO is they have 30 day replacement period and 24 months warranty which no other brand in India has, I believe coz I have only seen 6 or 12 months warranty majorly.

Do you like the phone and pictures? Have you checked out OPPO phones yet?

Jaipur Diaries: Part 2 (Food & More Food)

Well if you haven’t read my part 1 yet, go HERE. And if you have, we talk about the 2nd main thing in Jaipur now, the food!

I had a fulfilling breakfast at The Bazaar at Zone by the Park in Jaipur for 2 days.

Also I am very picky about my tea, and it was perfect, just the way I like it! They serve it a mini Parle G and some crispies.

They do have buffet options for both lunch and dinner, hubby went with the buffet once. I went with a-la-carte coz I like to try different things.

I tried the Caesar Salad and Zone Chilli Cheese Khakhra Toast the first day, loved both the khakhra was real spicy and not for the faint hearted 😀

Ordered Biryani for room service once and loved it too, perfect blend of spices and served with raita, just the way a biryani is meant to be.

And also tried the Alfredo Pasta once

Not much of a fun, coz I like my pasta more cheesy. I wanted to try their wood fired pizzas which are their speciality but there was some technical issue in the oven and I could not, my bad luck!

Other items I tried were Veg. Dumplings & Noodles with Honey Chilli Potatoes, Mango Blueberry Panna Cotta, Gajar Ka Halwa and Moong Dal Halwa. I found the dumplings a bit under cooked, absolutely loved the honey chilli potatoes. The artificial mango taste killed the panna cotta but it was not the season, so can’t blame them. Love their Indian desserts, moong dal halwa and gajar ka halwa were terrific!

I recommend their buffet and Indian sweets apart from the pizzas, salads, biryani and breakfast of course is included in the stay. I saw many people visiting just at the Bazaar restaurant for the dining experience too.

Few other places that are a must visit in Jaipur when it comes to food are:

Doodh Mishtan Bhandar (DMB Sweets) for sweets of course and kachoris, mirchi wadas, all farsans are equally good.

Rawat Sweets, for their Pyaaz Kachori! They are mind blowing, even got them packed. And rest of the sweets plus ghevar, got all packed! Mawa Kachori is also good if you like sweet stuff, a little too sweet for me. The stuffed khandvi was the best! Hated the lassi, full of essence and way too sweet.

Chokhi Dhani, you cannot not come here when in Jaipur. It’s an experience in itself, a little pricey at Rs.900/- per plate, but it includes an entire experience of seeing around. You can do activities like boating, camel riding, or playing games, buying stuff,etc., at an extra cost. But looking around, watching the dances and shows, and the different historical and religious places recreated is all included in the entry. The food is amazing, authentic and pure Marwadi food full of ghee! The way they serve and feed you is amazing.

Coming back to Zone by the Park, they also have a mini infinity pool, a rooftop bar, a gym and a spa. They have a separate club area which they were making sound proof and the work would have been completed before 31st Dec.

Rooftop Restaurant & Bar

I also tried a spa service, went for the Swedish Body Massage as I wanted something with light pressure coz of my back and leg fractures. The masseuse was very gentle and I felt completely relaxed. I was a bit nervous at first since this was the first body massage post the accident, but she was quite light with her hands and I loved it! She used lemongrass oil for the body massage and it also covered head massage. My body felt light and skin felt super hydrated even in that cold climate, post bath too and without any additional moisturizer.

Swedish Body Massage at Zone By The Park Spa

I do recommend trying out the spa services too and burning all the calories from the yummy food at the gym or by swimming! You have so much to do in Jaipur outside and within the hotel too!

This was one memorable trip for me!

Have you been to Jaipur? Tried all the yummy food?

Hamdard Safi Natural Blood Purifier Review

By Pallavi

Hello Girlies,

It is always said that what you eat shows on your skin. So, always eat healthy to keep your skin healthy. But in this age of junk foods and fried foods eating healthy is really not possible. Now, who can resist the tasty pizza and chats???At least I can’t. So, all these fast fried foods take a toll on your skin. When a pimple appears, this is the time when we think that it is the end of the world. But frankly speaking pimple appreance is quite normal. But when pimple takes the form of acne and when this acne leaves a mark on your skin then that it something really serious.

So, here I will be showing you an age old popular method of reducing pimples and keeping your skin healthy. You might have heard from your grandma’s about blood purifiers. Well, they used to have all herbal measures for their skin. But today, we don’t have many herbal methods for us. But Himalaya Safi blood purifier is one among the few products which assist can you in the path of healthy and glowing skin.

Product Description – The herbal remedy for skin disease such as acne vulgaris, boils, skin rashes, blemishes, urticaria etc, checks nose bleeding, cures constipation, corrects indigestion and improves complexion and helps you to stay slim and smart.

Directions to use: Just put 1-2 spoons of the purifier in the glass and drink it. You will gradually get adjusted to the taste.

Price: Rs.152 for 500 ml, Rs.80/- for 200ml

Shelf Life  36 months from packaging

Ingredients:

Packaging – The bottle is available in different sizes – .But I suggest to buy the smaller size to test its effectiveness. The packaging is of rectangular box which is green in colour. The bottle has the entire product name and other details mentioned. Inside which there is a transparent bottle. I like transparent bottles as they show the quantity of product left. The bottle is sealed and tightly enclosed to prevent the product from spilling out.

Key ingredients: Sana, Revand Chini, Neem, tulsi and Chiraita.

Texture: A Blood Purifier is definitely liquid in texture. The liquid is not on thicker side. It is actually quite runny. If you want to drink it with water it will easily get dissolved in water within no time.

My Experience with Hamdard Safi Blood Purifier

The liquid is dark brown in colour. Now, coming to the major part of taste. The taste of this blood purifier is really yukk. It tastes very sour. I need to drink one glass of water after drinking only 1 spoon of this purifier. But as it is said you have to taste something bad for the bigger good in your life. If you feel the taste is too sour then you can also dilute with water and then drink.

Performance wise don’t expecting anything miracle in the first bottle. Even if you drink daily then also I doubt you can observe any changes. Now, you can doubt if it actually works or not. But trust me girls it does. You can see changes on your 4th or 5th bottle. Since it is meant to purify blood thus changes will be gradual and quite slow. But when it start showing effects on your skin don’t stop it immediately, keep drinking some more bottles. Gradually you can see your skin all glowing and healthy.

Even one bottle will last long. With my daily usage size bottle lasted me for 3 months. So, quite economical that way. And you can get it easily in pharmacy stores and even on online portal.

Pros of Hamdard Safi Blood Purifier –

1. Herbal brand

2. Affordable price

3. Comes in different variants

4. Easy to use

5. Purifies blood on a long term.

Cons of Hamdard Safi Blood Purifier –

1. Takes time to show result

2. Tastes too bad

Rating – 4.5/5

Would I recommend the product to you – Of course. This product is definitely a buy. It must be a staple in your daily routine.

Editor’s Note: I have heard so much about it since ages, was going to try this when my skin was in a terrible state during my teens, but I am so scared of the taste :/ But I know of people who religiously drink it everyday from the past many years.

New Whisper Ultra Clean: 5x Better Protection

New Whisper Ultra Clean: 5x Better Protection

If you follow me on twitter, you would be knowing about the new Whisper Ultra Clean. They also had a Bloggers’ Meet on 19th Dec where Aditi Mittal, Kalki Koechlin were present, more on the event later.

I had received this new Whisper Ultra Clean at the start of December with the event invite and I tried it last month.

What it claims:  It claims to have 1000 suction holes which absorb upto 100% wetness offering more dryness, faster absorption and more protection. Magic Gel Crystals, Odour Lock technology, extra long and a softer, comfortable top cover.

One Whisper Ultra Clean = 5 Ordinary Pads

I have always used Whisper Ultra and was all eager to try this new and improved version. I loved the packaging and how it came in this wooden basket and had this white and green theme going on.

I did feel the change in these newer pads, having used Whisper Ultra always, these ones definitely offered more dryness and I also like the fact that these are XL and long enough to not worry about sleeping or staining the bed sheet.

There are a lot of taboos associated with periods in India. When I was young, my grandmother told me that whenever I get my periods or they just start and I see it, I should immediately go and have a bath including hair bath. I used to follow it for a few years as I was quite naive about the entire periods thing. There were times when I had some important work and was getting late and still had to go and take a bath as I got my periods. As soon as I matured, I realized this ‘custom’ had no logic or reasoning and I stopped following it. Other such taboos are not touching the pickle during periods as it would turn bad, not touching idols or worshipping or going to temples, etc. While I don’t believe in any of the others and don’t follow them, I still avoid going to temples only not to irk someone else’s sentiments or beliefs.

And coming to owing those 5 days, I consider those days as any other days and live normally. My first day at times is a little painful and I usually take a tablet if it obstructs my work or I have to go out. I either go for Spasmonil or Cycolpam, Cyclopam is a little heavy and half an hour you feel a bit weird post having it. I am stuck to Spasmonil ever since I have used it. I don’t go for a tablet unless the pain or cramps are a lot. Few things which doctors recommend and I try to follow  and which work for me during those five days are less salt, less caffeine, light exercise, hot water bag, etc.

You can try a free sample of the new Whisper Ultra Clean, just go HERE and register 🙂

OOTD: Casual Half Tuck Military Green Shirt

Hi guys,

A new OOTD post today. It was our first wedding anniversary on Sunday and we went to the Rivergate Resort in Karjat. I can’t believe it’s been one year, I have no idea where time is flying, the year was mixed actually. The first half of the first wedding year went into the accident, recovery and the repercussions. It is very, very difficult to get out of it mentally more than the physical recovery. I still fear crossing roads, still mind my every step and over cautious about everything. The accident nightmares every night don’t let you sleep.

Anyhoo, it’s gone and done now. I want to start my 2nd wedding year like it’s the first year and it’s a fresh start 🙂 We shifted to a new place and everything is new. I hope we can keep things happy happy. I was wearing this casual military green shirt half tucked that day and I shot this outfit.

I paired the shirt with my blue Forever 21 denims and my favourite nude brogues. I kept the overall look very simple and my new Michael Kors navy blue sling bag and the rose gold watch completed the look.
