“Life’s A BEACH!!”

This one is for my love for the sun combined with even more deeper love of burying my feet in warm sand. There is more to beaches than just getting a sun tan now :).

I know it is difficult to find that crystal clear water with clean sand without finding any plastic bottles as you help your nieces make those sand dunes in Mumbai. But we cannot complain as we are equally responsible for dirtying this city knowingly or unknowingly. Another pledge for the year – Do not litter & don’t let anyone else litter either. Luckily We found the perfect beach spot to shoot my next look & enjoy the location in my very own Mumbai.

For me the favourite part of this look is the easy to flaunt head accessory this summer – Floral colored head scarf! I have tied this up in two variations for you ladies. The first one being a twisted head band look wherein I have simply folded the scarf in a small rectangular way & twisted both sides to just simply tuck the extra sides of both ends behind the ears. Easy peasy plus a head turner for sure!

The other look with the scarf is the turban look wherein I have divided the scarf into a triangle and then placed it from the back of my neck, bringing it to the front covering all my hair. Finally tied into a fancy knot. I like this one because it not only protects my hair from the harsh sun but saves me the trouble of spending that extra time doing my hair up… 😉

This over sized front buttoned grey shirt is a perfect pick for this sunny day at the beach. Does it get any comfier than this? P.S. – I have added that silver sequins on both sides of the shoulder for the little blingy touch which I thoroughly love and is in very much in vogue too! The dark blue denim shorts should be on the top 5 beach must haves this season. I also love the fact that the shirt just ends right above the denims shorts. The red ruby butterfly statement neck piece which I have decided to put on above my collared shirt, simply not only stands out but signifies the chirpy, free spirited, independent me. Like I always say, add that you into the whole look and then see the wonders. The outfit gets special beyond infinity. The round stoned red ruby bracelet is a gift cherished by me which again adds the “its special” angle to it, plus it goes so well with the whole look.

Keep your make-up to the bare minimum with a light kohl and a brighter mouth. I have opted for a cherry red glossy colour with the lightest possible blush for my cheeks. Also make sure to use a sunscreen to protect your skin from the harsh effects of the sun. I personally use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sun Block SPF 50+ and the trick is to use a little bit below your makeup.

Now is the time to pick out those simple chappals or beach sandals which we all own and sport it with those denim shorts.

This is something I had written on an early morning, during one of my first days in senior college. I don’t know why but I think I should sign off with this :

“Your heart aches, it runs dry

Urges the blood, don’t know why!

Being so close, yet far… Thoughts bundle in despair..

Have you ever imagined the beach, with the water running its course?

Little do we know it preferred touched or untouched, swept away or left alone;

But yet, its vastness couldn’t be consumed

With the joys galore, as the waves lash out on it!!!

So it goes on!!!!!!”

I wrote this few years back which simply means does the sea ever ask for the sands permission before drawing a pattern and then destroying it, then again repeating it??? Such is life!!! We have the chance to better it, be more compassionate towards each other! Let me know what you guys think about the poet in me.

I hope you gals & guys enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it… As always, muchos love and stay trendy!!

Mwaaaah!
