This & That - 4

Long time since I did a ‘This & That’ post. In case, you are wondering where am I lost these days, here are the deets –

1. If you are following my posts and Facebook/Instagram account, you would know that I recently moved to Washington D.C. with my husband.
2. As soon as we got an internet connection setup at home, I hopped on the blog to update!
3. The weather is beyond my imagination here! Last week was OK, but it snowed yesterday and today it’s freeeeezinggg!! Don’t know how am I going to survive this!! (Next project: To buy the warmest coats and jackets possible).
4. The city is quite nice, lots of cars and people to be seen. Everyone is always on-the-go! (I feel this way since Phoenix was a calmer city)..
5. I miss Phoenix winters terribly (I love’em).
6. We are still in the process of settling down (you know the kinds.. unpacking, home set-up and interior decoration etc.)
7. Our new apartment is great, the view from my bedroom window is spectacular (will share few pictures once we get settled)..
8. Ahh.. and here I am posting a few pictures which were clicked in Phoenix, just a day before we left for D.C. (I am not wearing any outerwear, just imagine the lovely weather over there)..
9. And practically I am living in these shoes these days! Best booties EVER. Best for work, evening, shopping - you name it!
10. Also, while I was editing these pictures, I realized that I recently did another jumpsuit post. (Of course both are my favorites)!

Cheers!

This & That - 3

Hey everyone! I am back with a few random things which are on my mind lately..

1. I am too much inclined towards the ‘burgundy color lately. Fall-effect may be.. I bought these burgundy pants the other day and I can already see myself wearing them to pieces.
2. These days, I am reading three books simultaneously. And all three of them are fiction. I am surprised myself that am actually enjoying it and not mixing it all up!
3. Surprisingly this (jumpsuit) post went viral on my FB page. Everyone seemed to love it, well, thank you all.. :-)
4. We are going to India next month (yay..!!) and that is why I can’t wait enough for October anymore..
5. I was (am) a big fan of the Twilight series. I did watch all the movies when they released. And now I am reading the books, needless to say, I'm in love with Edward Cullen all over again.. I think it was a good idea to watch the movies first since the books are very dense and the romance of the lead couple is very intensely written. Books are better any day! You agree?

Cheers!

I am back with another post of This & That while enjoying the long weekend here in U.S. Few random things I am sharing with you all today -

1. While most of our friends are spending their long weekend travelling, we are spending this weekend at home. Since mid of this week I have travel plans to another country. And did I mention I am traveling alone..
2. As I mentioned in my FB post, I watched 'Satyagraha' (an Indian movie) today. Well, it was a good watch - but I expected more.
3. I purchased a beautiful badass leather jacket from Wilsons Leather few weeks ago. Though I am not a big fan of winters, this time I can't wait enough for the weather to chill down..
4. We are also planning a trip to India next month. It's going to be hell lot of fun!
5. I love Almond Butter. I can have it all day (but obviously, I don't).
6. Though cats never leave me, but I am certainly a dog person. I want to have a dog so badly, however, I just can't (well, given the current circumstances)..
7. And lastly, I wore this dress on a shopping date with husband. Easy-peasy.. Best decision ever!

Cheers!

This & That - 1

Few random things I wanted to share with y’all ~

1. I am missing India a lot lately. Well, it has been more than a year since I was last there.. And more than anything I am missing my hometown - Kanpur - the place where I grew up – my city!
2. I am on a working out spree these days. After I come home from work, I eat something (I am usually super hungry at that time), then after an hour I go for a run! It feels great post workout.. I am feeling so 'light' these days..
3. Weather is still not good here. It’s very hot all the time.. I miss the rains. On that note, it’s raining cats and dogs in the northern part of India.. (you see.. how much I am missing India)..
4. I am growing out my hair.. plan to keep it shoulder length.. umm.. like a long bob.. Let's see how that goes.. (And for that I am eating a lot of proteins now-a-days, so they grow faster).. haha..
5. Travel is on the cards again! But I can’t spill the beans yet.. Though this time I am nervous (and not excited) – and that’s all I can share for now! Fingers are crossed..!!
6. I pampered myself a Swedish body massage yesterday.. And it felt divine.. truly..
7. These pictures were taken today in the afternoon. It was an unplanned quick iPhone photo-shoot to be precise (hence the picture quality).. My husband and I love eating pizza at Peter Piper Pizza. They don’t over-do cheese and they make these crunchy veggie pizzas which are drool-worthy! Did I mention they have lunch buffets? Yeah!!
8. I am quite active on Instagram (@rising_colors)... follow me if you like!

Happy Weekend you all...!!

Cheers!
