NUPTIALS | The Bells Toll

‘Tis April and although the weather seems to never let up (I cannot STAND this never ending Winter –_-) it is officially well into Spring! And with flowers (supposed to be) blooming and birds (hopefully) migrating back we all know what time it is… WEDDING SEASON!!! I know I am probably hearing moans and groans right now :P Not everyone is fond of the bridezillas and un-godly early hours that come with weddings, but with all the hardships that may come, un-called for, with weddings, it is a time to spend an otherwise inconceivable amount of money, YAY!

I am constantly online window shopping for new saree designs and as many gorgeous designs I come across, it hardly seems reasonable to drop hundreds on something I’d wear for merely a simple event… However lucky for me finally I have a reason to splurge on a few new item! So although I am not quite sure what direction I will be going for the looks I will wear for this wedding, here are some inspirations I will be taking into consideration!

As you can see, my style varies greatly… But I love that about sarees! With each different colour combination, and each different design, you can style yourself into a whole different person! Sultry siren, or sweet fresh-faces doll, bright & outgoing or shy-pastels you can really portray such varieties within your personality, and I love that! I’ll update more on styling choices and what not, but for now I must go back to my studies… –_- Till next time, hugs & cheers, Anya <3

HAUL | CRUISIN’ COUSINS

Sorry for yet another long delay in posts, I am infinitely busy with work and school and sleeping (I just can’t get enough of it!) and thus have lacked on posts, I will try harder tho! (Pinky Promise (: ) However yesterday I got to hang out with a dear (although crazy) cousin of mine and we went SHOPPING! I haven’t done that in too long -_- I got quite a few items, mostly necessities ;P

I’m also testing out and experimenting with my new camera (Birthday Gift, love you mom!) So bear with the weird focusing and lighting!

The item I’m most excited about is this new watch set I got from ALDO ($35)! It’s super cute and comes with 5 straps! I love the versatility and  affordability of this watch, and the best part is that it comes with warranty! There are different sets, however I chose to get the set with the most neutrals, best for matching with outfits :) The set I got comes with a black faux leather strap, a white faux leather strap, a brown faux leather strap, a floral material strap and a striped black and white strap. The watch works fine, however the only down side is that the other three meters, meant for day and month etc., are just for show, they don’t actually work :( But you get what you pay for, plus, what are smartphones for!? :b

 

I then visited one of my favourite places, Home Outfitters! I am obsessed with this store, just the amazingly huge selection of the cutest (yet not so necessary) items has got me hooked! I’m a frequent window shopper in this store, however the fact that it was payday just made these items seem much more necessary! From HO I got the most chic oil dispenser thingy’s, the one’s you always see on the cooking channel! They are super adorbs and hopefully benefit my mom, who is pretty much the only one who can ACTUALLY cook in my home :b Also I visited an all-things-indian mall near my home and picked up henna which stains amazingly dark! I’m super excited to try it and I’ll make sure to post about my experience!

 

I then picked up the SEAWEED IONIC CLAY MASK & SEAWEED MATTIFYING DAY CREAM from The Body Shop. I am currently using their TEA TREE line and it is working wonders on my acne, so I thought I’d pick up a few testers of this product to see if it helped with my oily skin. I don’t wear makeup on a regular basis thus I’d like some sort of help for my oily skin, oily just isn’t cute – _ – Also I got this beautifully chic wallet from ALDO ($25). I have been in dire need of a purse for that last 4 months, ever since I broke my last one. I am in love with this purse, it is the first one I’ve found that actually has enough space without being bulky! Thank you for this amazing purse <3

That’s all for my haul, I am after all a broke uni student :b Till next time, hugs and cheers, Anya <3
