Wearing the Pants in the Family

Do you know what? Every time you think you got the pants down, something new comes up! Transparent pants, sequin pants for any occasion, no-pants... heck even changing your sweaters into pants. It's crazy what we'll do to cover our legs! Anyway, while the whole roundup isn't necessarily about PANTS, they certainly come up every now and then. What I like about the idea of "pants" is the idea of taking control of your wardrobe. Maybe everyone in your family wears pants, but in your life who or what is wearing the metaphorical pants? And what can you do to reinvent them? Let's find out in this week's Links a La Mode!

Links à la Mode: December 19th

SPONSOR: East Dane Ca & Lou, Oscar de la Renta, RVN, Inis Meain, Havaianas, Parke Ronen, Lenny Niemeyer, Jill Stuart, Koolaburra, Christopher Raeburn   NEW Instructions for Submitting to Links à la Mode: 1.

I won The Liebster Award

I have been awarded with the Liebster Award by my lovely blogger friend Krithi from Confession of A travel-hoo-lic ;)). She loves to travel and blogs about the places she travels to and writes very honest reviews about make-up products. I thank you Krithi for the award :)

For those of you who don't know, The Liebster Award is given to the up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Blogging is about building a nice community and I believe it's a great way to connect with other bloggers and give your readers a few new blogs to follow!

Here are the rules for the Liebster Award -

  • Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.
  • Answer the 11 questions given by the nominated blog.
  • Create 11 new questions for your nominees.
  • Paste a Liebster Award picture into your blog.
  • Nominate a minimum of 4 bloggers and mention them in your post. (Of course let them know on their page too)!




1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why?
Of all the places I have been to, I loved the Ottawa city in Canada. The beauty and the history of that city excites me, it felt like I could never get enough or never get bored of the art and the culture of that city! The people are so warm and smiling and helpful –even to strangers and travelers. The food is so delicious. The architecture is so picturesque! I won't mind living there forever..

2. What is your favorite meal?
I would say Lunch. And my favorite cuisine is Thai. I love their Yellow Curry and Jasmine Rice. And I prefer it spicy!

3. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
As soon as I open my eyes, I check the time in the alarm clock on my bedside (to check how much time I have left to be on the bed – and how weird it is that within milliseconds my brain calculates the time left – even though I am like half asleep then!). And once I am up, I drink a glass of water, freshen up and go for a morning run!

4. How many lipsticks do you own?
Being a woman, I would say counting is bad.. (very bad).. If we start counting our dresses, shoes, make-up items  etc. – then the world’s economy may come to a stop! Huhh!..
Well, jokes apart, I guess I own about 20 or so..

5. Where and what time of day do you usually write?
I write usually in the afternoons or in the evenings. I believe in the old-fashioned way. I write my blog posts in a diary which I always keep in my handbag (Inspiration can strike anywhere, anytime, you see.. and I like to be prepared for that!). And then, I copy it on the blog, adding a few pictures..

6. Is there anything about yourself that you would like to change or are totally uncomfortable about?
Yes, actually there is.. I am a Cancerian, hence I tend to be protective towards my loved ones.. And some times, this protective urge becomes so strong, I start controlling them, deciding for them – like what they should or should not do.. and I know it’s not a good thing, so I try to tone it down - I keep working on it.. always..

7. Do you have a pet?
As of now, I don’t, however I had one in childhood – A Pomeranian female dog. Though, I have a strange kind of connection with cats, not sure how and why.. But I am certainly a dog person. I love, love, love dogs (that is an understatement).. I will definitely own a dog (or dogs) as soon as the circumstances are favorable!

8. Best book you have read recently?
I am a die-hard fan of the Romance Fiction. I love to get lost into the fiction world. It’s the best time of my day when I could simply forget about all my worries and live in a different world altogether! I recently read The Twilight Saga – and loved it!

9. Beauty product you can’t live without
It has to be a lip balm. I already did a post on my (not so) small collection. I hate the feeling of dry lips!

10. Gold or Silver?
Gold, any day.. so elegant..

11. Diamond or Gold?
Diamonds.. for sure..

Now I would also like to award and tag a few blogger friends with the Liebster Award -

I'd like to extend a formal invitation to you ladies to answer the questions and pass it on..

My set of 11 questions for you all are -
  1. What’s your all-time favorite movie?
  2. What do you do to keep fit?
  3. What is one skill or hobby you've always wanted to learn?
  4. What quality do you find most attractive in others?
  5. If you had a magic lamp, what would you wish for?
  6. If you have some spare time, what do you do?
  7. Are you a planner? Or are you spontaneous?
  8. What meal or dish do you make that kicks ass?
  9. What’s something you regret, and how would you change it if you could?
  10. If any character from a novel could be your best friend, who would you want it to be and why?
  11. Which are the 3 blogs you read everyday?
Looking forward to your answers to these.. :)

Cheers!
Ritika

Making the Effort

Making the effort every day has been on my mind lately. It's fall, the typical time for dressing up. Fashion Month opens the floodgates to trendy people. And while, life may have other things in store for you: unusually warm October, working at home, not working at all... etc, making an effort still matters. Yesterday I was just talking about how making an effort doesn't have to be too much work. It's just a matter of planning things a little. That's what the links this week tell me, they peek into trends for next year, they organize the trends this year, and give a little inspiration for the upcoming holiday we all love: Halloween!

Blast From the Past

Ever since the cave people started wearing loin cloths and furs, we humans have had fashion history. This week's roundup delves into the past and how it has inspired our future. From the swinging 60's impact on sunglasses, to a look at Eurovision's pop music style evolution. For those of us who can't get to the MET one blogger shares her experience and for those of us who haven't yet seen the Great Gatsby, we have a look into Gatsby style in the mix there as well. So get your cup of tea, reflect on years gone by and check out these links!
