It's almost the new year. It's so near,you can almost taste it. This year has been crappy for me. So much so that I almost hate it and hate is a really strong word n I don't use it often. It's been terrible personally, emotionally draining and more or less too eventful, in all the wrong ways.<br>
Still, it went really fast, and for that I am grateful. Grateful that all the bad memories are just that now,bad memories. It's so easy to complain of bad times. Easier than contemplating what went wrong and the learning. So I vouched to do just that. What did I achieve? What are the things that went right and the highlights.<br>
The highlight definitely has to be the time well spent with family. A small day trip to Mahableshwar. The week long vacation to Coorg and the Diwali of course. A new beautiful apartment and all the moving on has been great too. Professionaly I was so good when I was working hard. Believing that the job, which wasn't really my dream, I could do so much more with it than just paying bills. It was a revelation. Then yes, there is the actual dream job,which somehow seems tangible now, more than ever. Since I've been so free, emotionally.<br>
Then there it was,the heartache, the pain and the guilt. Dealing with it the entire year now. It hasn't subsided,it's so there all the time, lurking, threatening to show up at any vulnerable moment. But I've learned to deal. I've learnt that it's not going away. Also that looking back is not the solution, it's forward that matters. And the Today, it matters the most. I am happy to have found this freedom in me,this strength and faith that has kept me afloat. This belief in the Light that has given me the will to go on. It's like the worse has happened and I dealt with it and here I am, the strongest yet. It's painful but God is so kind, He lets you remember only the good parts.<br>
Then again, a bygone year reminds you so very strongly that its such a short, minuscule time in your entire life and so tiny in the bigger scheme of things,that I want to chide myself to even think about it in such a big way. All I want to take away from 2013 is that it was a wonderfully trying year that has made me the person I am today and altered me forever, for good.<br>
I so want 2014, I welcome you with open arms,you are mine.</p>

Hey guys,<br />
Have you been to <a href="http://design-seeds.com/" target="_blank">this </a>site before? <a href="http://design-seeds.com/" target="_blank">Design Seeds</a> is a site that captures pallets from beautiful pictures. It even gives you an option to search a particular colour in different colour pallets. This could come in handy when you need to paint or design a space in your home. I am especially loving these minty shades for spring.<br />

Hey friends,<br />
<br />
What does it mean to write a good post? What does it mean to you? I have found myself with a dip in my mojo for a long time now. This post is forced, in an attempt to bring back the beloved mojo. A small letter for it to see that I love it more than anything else, but yes, you are not the only one mojo, I am self made and I can surely do without you, I have my determination with me. But I miss you, come back dear Mojo, I need you, for me to move on. I need you to show me the way further.<br />
<br />
For you readers, I will be back with a post that makes more sense.<br />
<br />
Ciao till then.<br />

<br />
Great love stories is a series on <a href="http://citified.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">{this is glamorous} blog</a>. It chronicles the great love stories of famous (often glamorous) people. I just happened to read two of them. Audrey Hepburn is an icon (i can't even say 'was', i love her so much), with utmost grace and poise and there is no denying that in everyone's imagination she would have found love easily. But in reality, it came a lot later in her life, but when it came, it lasted forever. Go <a href="http://citified.blogspot.ca/2012/05/love-stories-06-audrey-hepburn-robert.html" target="_blank">here for the lovely story of Audrey and Robbie</a>.<br />

Could there be any more a perfect bag? Uh No! But for 5,459 INR, it's pretty steep. Nonetheless... I am in LOVE.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey guys,<br />
<br />
Here is a first installment in my favorite looks from Cannes Red Carpet. I had been waiting for this event more than anything to witness what are the leading ladies wearing this year. It's always fun to look around and choose favorites.<br />
<br />
This year witnesses the return of fishtails :) Well, here goes:<br />
My very favorite:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://redcfa.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Naomi-Watts-In-Marchesa-%E2%80%98Madagascar-3%E2%80%B2-Cannes-Film-Festival-Premiere.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://redcfa.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Naomi-Watts-In-Marchesa-%E2%80%98Madagascar-3%E2%80%B2-Cannes-Film-Festival-Premiere.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Naomi Watts looked gorgeous in a Marchesa Gown though the necklace was unnecessary. Look at the details on her bodice:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://redcfa.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Naomi-Watts-Marchesa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://redcfa.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Naomi-Watts-Marchesa.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Her hair looked perfect and she looked radiant.<br />
<br />
Close second was this Jessica Chastain in Gucci look:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGMMup-42rQkTW1HbJh4dRv21RP0FBotRAN_6s9AHR8sLnh94pROaqKvUqpMquKgxm0DfqtihCpz8lvUTsrNW5Q-gq9EpZMwldjRSXK6Olct0ySwEzkza_Uv-WkndFhqmnKafltmd2w0/s1600/Jessica-Chastain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcGMMup-42rQkTW1HbJh4dRv21RP0FBotRAN_6s9AHR8sLnh94pROaqKvUqpMquKgxm0DfqtihCpz8lvUTsrNW5Q-gq9EpZMwldjRSXK6Olct0ySwEzkza_Uv-WkndFhqmnKafltmd2w0/s1600/Jessica-Chastain.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
This look with the classic nude+shimmer combo looked so contemporary. Loved it.<br />
<br />
Few other favorites in no particular order:<br />

What did you love? Or hate? :o) I am still extremely keen on seeing what Aishwarya Rai chooses to wear. There has been lots of speculation on that because of the post-baby weight.<br />
See you later!<br />

Guess who plays Walt Disney in the biopic of the man who built the House of Mouse? Oh Ryan Gosling of course. OK, it's a joke, a fake poster. But I am already in dreamland, what if this is made?

How have you been? Spring has been too fast to enter in my part of the world and also seems to be leaving to fast to usher in what promises to be a very hot summer. I took advantage of a wondeful saturday to go click some photos at a really pretty palace/house near my place. It's the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aga_Khan_Palace" target="_blank">Aga Khan Palace in Pune</a>. It's an exquisite building with lush gardens on all sides. It's so beautiful, you kind of forget that you are actually right in the middle of the city. Here we go on a tour:<br />

There is a significance to the place in Indian history. When British colonised India in the nineteenth and early twentiet century, Mahatma Gandhi was kept under house arrest here, along with his wife Kasturba Gandhi and a secretary Mahadev Bhai Desai. Both his wife and his secretary breathed their last at this place and their ashes are kept here as a samadhi alongwith a part of Gandhiji's ashes. It's a very serene place, silent and perfect for meditation or contemplation.<br />

How did you find a little part of our history (it's right in my backyard, sort of unbelievable). Did you like it? I would love to hear about famous places near your place of residence or any place you love to go on quiet weekends, do tell me.<br />
<br />
Buh bye till next time. <br />

Hey there,<br />
<br />
How are you guys? And how is spring in your part of the globe? Here it is more hot than I would like, but fine nonetheless. The flowers make it easier :o)<br />
<br />
In other news, I went ahead and bought a F21 White jeans, yup! White as snow. And I dread wearing it the wrong way (obviously I dread it getting dirty, but that is another story), like I turn out to looking like a fool with whitewashed bottoms. SO I started compiling inspirations on how to wear light bottoms easily. Not that my body type matches with any of these skinny girls there, nonetheless, it's fun. Go check my Pinterest board <a href="http://pinterest.com/mrunmayees/white-jeans-how-to-wear/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are a few ways I love:<br />

Combining it with pastels and Navy Blue or Grey seems to be a safe bet.<br />
What is your tip for wearing a white jeans? Any rules you play with? I would love to know.<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S - be ready for a picture heavy post at a really romantic spot near my home. I loved going about photographing it for you guys.<br />

it is sweet spring night with the sweetest spring breeze<br />there is a pretty pink paper with my name on it<br />I can see the magic weilding within us, right here and now<br /><br />the flowers make me blush and the trees make me sway<br />I am in too much a rush to make you stay<br />I can see there is some magic within us, right here and now<br /><br />there is a good ole note waiting on your table<br />and a gift in pink paper with a fancy label<br />I want to make the magic happen for us, right here and now<br /><br />You get me shoes and you get me dresses<br />you get me flowers and take me places<br />I can see you work the magic for me, right here and now<br /><br />This is a very busy street with lots of people<br />but I can only see you of all the people<br />I can see the magic in your eyes for me, right here and now<br /><br /><br />a little bit vodka and a little bit wine<br />I am all tipsy when I stand with you in a line<br />And then we share a smile with a thosand words inside<br />So I know we make some magic all the time, right here and now<br />

I am in love with these guys. I found this <a href="http://hal.petit.cc/" target="_blank">site</a> via <a href="http://www.shoandtellblog.com/2012/03/brothers.html" target="_blank">ShoAndTell</a>. These little guys (Haru and Mina are their names) are brothers and their father - the photographer, Hideaki Hamada has documented their adventures since a few years. You will love seeing the archives. They are so adorable and cute, I can hardly stand the cuteness. In the photographs they ooze out so much attitude and innocence. And that look glee everywhere which is unique to children. And as <a href="http://www.shoandtellblog.com/2012/03/brothers.html" target="_blank">Shoko </a>mentions, they look more like best friends.<br />

Hello dear awesome people, <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
How have you been? I have been utterly uninspired to blog, since I am not 'creating' or 'learning anything'. Hence the lack in posts. But I am back and well into spring :o) Don't you just love this season. I feel so fresh every morning with the crisp wind through the windows (not that it has inspired me to wake up early and go exercising), birds chirping everywhere (here I am ignoring a few annoying pigeons who have made troubling me very much the aims of their lives) and the blossoms everywhere, I mean when do you get to see SO MANY COLOURS? I see bright yellow hues and purple, the dusty powdery purple and a real beautiful white and pink on blooms everywhere. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And have you heard of the 'Palash Tree' or very rightfully called the 'Flame of the forest'. Let me give you an <a href="http://www.google.co.in/search?q=flame+of+the+forest&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=XqdUT4H2K87PrQfBloXQDQ&sqi=2&ved=0CE0QsAQ&biw=1024&bih=584#hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=flame+of+the+forest&pbx=1&oq=flame+of+the+forest&aq=f&aqi=g9g-S1&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=28091l28091l4l28264l1l1l0l0l0l0l108l108l0.1l1l0&gs_l=img.3..0l9j0i24.28091l28091l4l28265l1l1l0l0l0l0l108l108l0j1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=bad2320961fc08a&biw=1024&bih=584" target="_blank">idea</a>. What do you think? It's gives yours eyes a feast of bright, beautiful orange colour which you cannot take your eyes off. It's is precisely this season in which the tree is stripped off all it's leaves leaving these breathtakingly beautiful flowers behind, creating a scene as if the forest is on fire. These are a vital part of the festivities at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi" target="_blank">Holi, the festival of colours</a>. It is one festival which should be witnessed by everyone, for the sheer involvement of colour and pure joy. I have fond memories of celebrating Holi in my school days. It was supposed to be a very big deal (I don't even have a holiday this year *really angry face here*). Though I don't play it anymore, well not as much as I used to. It's still fun to observe people and try and identify, who's who at the end of the day :o)</blockquote>

Hey people,<br />
<br />
How have you been? Great? Just fine? or fatabulous? I have been pretty good. But do you know what really cheered me up today? <a href="http://rikrakstudio.blogspot.in/2012/02/your-academy-awards-looks-revealed.html" target="_blank">This</a>. The rikrak studio had a great and fun challenge, to come up with looks for the red carpet with handmade items, consisiting of only two items. And I submitted about three to four looks,don't remeber now. But here they are on the blog, shining along with some other lovely ladies :) The lovely people at Rikrak chose, not one but three of my looks to showcase. Here are those<br />

Which one do you like best? Isn't this a really fun activity, picking out party dresses and accessories. For me, it's like the best way I could spend my time.<br />
So.... I went ahead and had some fun time. Here are a few more looks with handmade items. <br />

Hello friends,<br />
<br />
I have been away for a long time. Taking stock of things and
getting back to work commitments. Including a very demanding fasting day
in the middle. I came back to report that I am going slowly on the
learning curve, learning to sketch a basic model figure, with 9 heads.
Ha Ha. It's actually a technique to draw a fashion sketch, one of the
learning methods. Here is a video tutorial for the technique:<br />

<br />
I also wanted to share a few ideas for <a href="http://www.heavenandhome.com/magazine/design-details/bowlvase-five-new-looks/" target="_blank">decorating with glass vases</a> (which look deceivingly more like fish bowls. hmmm... May be you could use old fish bowls) at <a href="http://www.heavenandhome.com/" target="_blank">Heaven And Home magazine</a>. <br />

I love the first one with soaked lilies the best. It is really lovely with a calm, non overpowering decorating sense to it. Also the one with dried moss is innovative.<br />

If you follow me on <a href="http://pinterest.com/mrunmayees" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>,
you will see that I am on a huge 'fashion Illustrations' kick. Well, the cause
for this madness can be explained with a story as follows -<br />
<br />
The other day I was in the mood to chill out, browse through
magazines, put good music on, just because. It so happened that I went to my
library and brought home a few perky magazines. <a href="http://www.hellomagazine.com/" target="_blank">This </a>was one of them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHX4ytJnIgOyH1WC62_yLz67aPmpuM6KdUPHdFaVztSb5EY3Bl4EEhCtiAqPKNj8oHCkv9Ss_lxtMbql14q1g4V7pbwwGcs5PWEkbrcgIhZkEqDT-5MpjWWfKX2SKGik9BYVsJg7UhyCc/s1600/images.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHX4ytJnIgOyH1WC62_yLz67aPmpuM6KdUPHdFaVztSb5EY3Bl4EEhCtiAqPKNj8oHCkv9Ss_lxtMbql14q1g4V7pbwwGcs5PWEkbrcgIhZkEqDT-5MpjWWfKX2SKGik9BYVsJg7UhyCc/s1600/images.jpeg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The January 2012 cover story showed celebrity moms and daughters wearing
classic <a href="http://www.abusandeep.com/" target="_blank">Abu Jani and Sandeep
Khosla Couture designs</a>. These Indian designers are known for their
traditional as well as contemporary clothing, their specialty being Indian
Couture (Sarees, Chania Cholis, Ghagra Cholis, Salwar kurtas and so on). They
recently completed 25 years into their career and boast of catering to most of
India's stylish modern Royal households (Nawabs, Rajas and Rajkumaris along
with Bollywood glitterati). Okay, I am coming to the point, just read on.<br />
<br />
So I browsed through the cover story and felt an energy in me that I hardly
feel, ever. Like there was an epiphany, a realization of sorts. I knew this all
along but it dawned on me, rather forcefully that evening that I am not doing
what I should with my life. I am made to design. My brain creates designs in my
head like an accountant should create balance sheets. It's an inbuilt mechanism
somehow. But sadly, I never gave this aspect of my life a fair chance. Even if
I know how a garment should look like in my head, I have no skills to translate
it into a tangible thing of beauty, even on paper. Tears came to me thinking
ten years down the line, I am going to regret this, and I will always think
that what if I would have studied design and made a career out of it. What if I
would have been successful doing what I love. But if I don’t take any action
now, I will never know what could have been of these ‘what ifs’. <br />
So, here it comes – <b>I decided to
learn Fashion Design</b>. I haven’t still decided if I want to do a full time
course and take the plunge, leaving a job that actually pays me (and I am even doing
well at that front). But nonetheless, I have decided that I will learn this
art, may be step by step, investing a little time and money for every little
step, but I am surely giving it a shot. This realization has made me feel powerful
and passionate about something, a feeling I haven’t had in a long long time. It’s
liberating of sorts. Maybe if I don’t actually learn to dress other people up,
I will at least have a good designer for myself<span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span> :o). Sounds like fun, doesn’t
it? I cried myself to sleep that night, more with excitement and realization
than sadness. And I feel so GOOD. I discussed this with a dear friend and he
advised me that the first step would be to learn how to draw your ideas,
fashion illustrations. And there I went looking for good inspiration and tutorials
and hence this board on <a href="http://pinterest.com/mrunmayees/illustrations/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. There is lots of inspiration there but I
found <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">Youtube </a>to be a helpful resource in case of tutorials. It has
exceptionally good and thoughtful video tutorials for beginners. I am learning
people, <span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span>though my fashion figures look a little more like this right now:<br />

I really love the first one. It's too pretty and makes me think about Audrey Hepburn somehow.<br />
<br />
Check out the image sources <a href="http://pinterest.com/mrunmayees/illustrations/" target="_blank">here </a>and go visit the pretty boards from which I reppined a few. Take care till next time. Have you had an epiphany similar to this in the recent times? Do you live your dream job? What would you do in a situation like this? I would love to know.<br />

Have you been witnessing the Neon Colors surge? I am and sort of loving it too. If you are not so flamboyant as to sport this daring trend, this is how you can still enjoy without looking like a traffic cop.<br />

But where do you get this damn Dry Shampoo thing. Here is the big reveal - Here's your store my dearies - <a href="http://www.lushindia.com/" target="_blank">Lush India</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
Also, while you are there, check out their valentine's range. Here is how they describe their <a href="http://lushindia.com/Valentine/View-all-products/#3" target="_blank">'Love Portion'</a><br />
<br />
"I<span class="image-caption current" style="opacity: 1;">n days of yore, a
young maiden with her eyes on a likely lad would ask the village wise
woman for a love potion. These days a girl needs to take a more hands-on
approach, so we’ve created this modern alternative which is sure to get
you plenty of amorous attention from your special someone. Love Potion
is a massage bar with a difference. As well as the soft, melty cocoa
and shea butters we’ve added some cornflour to the mix, which absorbs
excess oils. So when the massage is over, you’ll be left with skin that
feels soft and touchable, but not greasy. Love Potion is perfumed with
our best-selling Love fragrance; a light, sexy apple scent with citrusy
top notes to inspire devotion."</span><br />
<br />
Sounds divine, doesn't it? And yummy too :)<br />
And I wish I could have each one of their perfumes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">P.S - This store was named in Vogue India for their all natural products.</span><br />

Or you are already their stalker? And I have been living under a rock. But this was love at first sight. I have been adding to my blog list daily lately.
