Clockwork Orange


Light  plays around beautifully with these gold and orange earrings. I love picking out ordinary things and see how they transform into the stylish. My friend Sri and me call it "potential". We traverse junk shops, road-side jhumki stores and cheap trinket havens to score some sweet stuff. And these chandelier earrings in bright orange are a treat for the sore eyes. I found in a small shop in lokhandwala ( *name forgotten) for Rs 40.

Glimmer of Hope


I am a big big fan of Indian jewellery. Nah, not those tacky gold bangles and the stupid-looking yellow gold necklaces, but the ones that are contemporary enough to be traditional. And Amrapali in that way is a brand I relate to, in every way. These pretty little intricate earrings are my favurite this season, and they're a gift from a colleague. And I absolutely love love love them.

Miss White, she said





White strappy heels are never my thing. I mean, in a city like Mumbai, I find them very annoying. Esp with the dust and grime, I cannot let my babies like these be put to the pollution test. But these, these gold-buckled beige beauties were hard to miss. The leather was soft, the buckles as sturdy and shiny as possible - Charles & Kieth is probably one of the my favourites because finding a classic there is easy as pie.

Black and Bright






I've always wanted a classy black heel but the temptation of colour was too much to take, and so I succumbed. To both. Tresmode kinda has that soft spot in my heart, for blending the bright with the black.

T for Trouble, T for T-Bars




I've somehow always found T-bars to be classic fare. I mean, a Chanel, a Monolo, a T-bar. That kind of classic. And these tan leather T-bars have been the fruit of months-of-searching. I love how Forever New plays with the playful and the staid.
