Surrounded by Light

The season of wearing shorts and skirts is finally over for me. Thankfully the temperature drops between 73 to 75 degrees at night and in the mornings. Though the sun shines quietly during the day. And the winters here may not be depressing. Loving this slow but effective change in the air.

So be prepared to witness more of trousers and jeans in the coming posts!

By the way, I am loving my short hair. Every time I wash them, they look different. Though it's an inverted bob, but thanks to my wavy hair, the waves make them look different wash after wash.

On that note, Life is so simple now. Easy, I should say. Styling my hair does not take more than 3 minutes now. Hence, I can sleep for three extra minutes! Bonus!!

P.S. Through this post, I hope I was successful in busting the myth that Brown does not go with Black :)

Enjoy the typical Fall Post :)

Keep Smiling.

Cheers

Hat-trick

I feel bad about missing for these days. And typically there were two reasons. One, I was tied up in few other important things of life (truly, seriously, no lies!). Second (being the prominent one) - my laziness was super active last week.

And did I tell you I watched four good movies in the past few weekends. "End of Watch" being the latest one last night. And to my surprise, the movie had absolutely no storyline, but it manages to keep you seated. A different kind of movie. The only bad part was the hand-held camera which makes your eyes roll and head pain for a little while in the early parts of the movie.

Other than that, I watched "Loopers" - a science fiction thriller. I personally liked that movie. Don't worry, this post is not a movie review post, let's keep that to some other day.

Remember, I mentioned about my affection towards skirts lately in my previous post. Hence, I bring upon to you another fun-filled 'skirted' post! Third post with skirt - It's a Hat-trick! Yayy!!

This is one of my favourite skirt, because it's color pops! Lovely orange for me :)

Enjoy and let me know what you think!!

Good Day!

Grey Shades

I was feeling grey when I opted to this outfit! I am really into skirts these days - be it long, short or knee length, give me all. Next post on the blog may also have pictures of me in a skirt! That would be a hattrick. You never know!!

I rarely, take out my Zara bag. It's a super big, super comfortable bag. And I love it so much, that I like to keep it safe in the four walls of home most of the times! Strange.. I know, especially when I love it so much.

I wore this skirt and shirt on Saturday when we were out for lunch at Chipotle. I love that place, really! How about you? Ah, well, I'm hungry again, gotta go!!

See you next time.

Keep it simple. Keep it fresh!

Cheers

My life keeps changing every 3 months. And I believe it’s for my own good, as my interest in life remains alive. So much is happening so soon. Can't reveal much right now, as I like to keep secrets a little longer before revealing. :-)

On another note, I've been acting so lazy for the past week, even I'm amazed! Did not workout yesterday thanks to the mood swings, and lazy me. Well, I'm back in gear again, and let's do some fabulous outfit posts with my new haircut as an accessory! Do let me know what you think and trust me, it took a lot of faith on the hair dresser and confidence on myself to get my hair chopped this short. And I have not regretted my decision, even once! Well.... not yet!!

On the outfit post, remember I posted about going to Flagstaff on the weekend? Well it turned to be a one day trip to Sedona instead and wooahh... what a place it is! Such natural scenic beauty, and I must say it’s heaven on earth. And this is what I wore on my trip.

Enjoy the extra dose of pictures from the trip!

Gothic nails, long skirt and shoes - all scream comfort and perfection for me!

Cheers to surprises and my black nails!

From Long to Short

Lately I escape for a coffee all by myself. And because I don't have a car of my own yet, I take a 15 minutes’ walk to Starbucks and enjoy my evening coffee with the company of my own.

I enjoy doing this once in a while. Though I have shared the best coffee dates with my husband, but still I relish the ‘ME’ time I enjoy these days.

Well of course, there are mood swings on bad days (I being a Cancerian) when I don't feel good about anything, but such bad days are few. And I make sure to divert my mind into something creative or something that I enjoy doing, like cooking something new (from scratch) for dinner, or baking a cake, or watching a movie or simply doing a high intense short workout  (at home itself)!

Yes, my workouts give me an intense energy boost and it lifts my mood! There is no better feeling than those out-of-breath moments post workout every day!

Try it out people, I bet you won't be disappointed J

I know, I know how can I forget that I spoke about a surprise in my previous post, and I am super excited to share it with you guys! Check the last two pictures and you will know!!

Here goes the surprise people! Yayy.. It’s a haircut. From Long to Short! I am loving this new look of mine with short hair, it is so easy to handle and I feel so chic myself! And trust me on this - Life is much easier now.

You know what, I have been wanting to cut my hair short for about a year now. Finally made up my mind one Sunday and BOOM! Got my hair chopped to an inverted bob. And here are the results!

Cheers to healthy living!

Accidentally I took a 2 hour long sleep which was meant to be only a 30 min nap! Now, I'm out of time! Though feeling fresh, I am so behind my schedule..eehh.

Hence, without taking much of your time too, I would like to keep this post short and crisp!

Oh and yes, I have a surprise for you all. Too lazy to tell you today, hence, let's keep it for the next time! J

Enjoy the pictures.

Cheers

Hello Hello Hello! **That's my happy tone**

It's Friday today... once again. And the husband agreed upon escaping to a colder place this time (at least colder than Phoenix). Yikess!!!! **happy dance**

Yeah people, Flagstaff it is. A mini vacay sounds good any time any day. In few hours, we would be on the road, under the sun!

Wanna join us?? Sure! See you there, then!

Oh, and these pictures are from last weekend. An outfit for a romantic supper may be (yes of course, keeping Fall in mind)!

Cheers

A very big hello to all the lovely people out there enjoying some good weather and making me jealous. Can you imagine the temperature here in Phoenix still scores up to 103 degree Fahrenheit’s almost like daily! Holy God, please bless us with some good weather too... I am so tired of summers now L

Anyways, this was one windy evening when I went for an evening stroll with my partner. The hair, the blouse etc. did not co-operate well with the photo shoot. Hence you will have to bear with me! << as if you have an option >> lol.
