Colors of Monsoon !!

How else would you describe a trip, when the moment you land at your holiday destination, you are welcomed by the whimsical generous showers. Never been to this city of myriad treats.This is Bombay, the city of stars and this was my personal rendezvous with the city of Glitz.

This trip was dedicated to sniffing the street side that the city had to offer, the cafes and the street style, which of course didn't let me down & I was nothing but exhilarated to absorb all of it.
Bombay Fashion style, I found very laid back & Boho.The colorful umberellas only add to the element of abounding colors. Yeah the colors of Monsoon.

Here are the personal pit stop details for you :

Shopping in the mad rains was no mean feat, but getting inspired by the localities I braved it & fell even more for it. The streets I frequented with my girl was Hill road for bags & accessories.You shouldn't be missing it she said.I am told the city is brimming with such delightful street shopping stops.Also, Mumbai is one of the biggest exporters of clothes, so it makes sense to pick up pieces for a fraction of their price charged. I could not go mad with shopping because of stomping rains but I am up for next time. Moving on ,there is a mix of departmental stores, brand outlets, street-side carts and regular shops that sell mainly clothes and accessories. One can also find many restaurants and cafes dotted along the miles long stretch of this road.

Linking road Market /Khar Linking road & waterfield road are other similar streets I could explore.The place worth a mention here is Cafe Basilico purely because of ambiance & mouth-watering dishes.Not to be missed when you are there,if you take my word for it,trust me the conversations would flow. Bora Bora is another hot spot on the same lane.
For mall shopping, Infinity Mall in Malad was my delight.Bombay has such a Cosmo vibe & speed of the city is like current.

Apart from the street side, my experience with Luxe & Glamour begun at Taj Land's end offering the best of both worlds - breathtaking views of the sea and the energy of city life.Must mention is the Atrium/High tea/Coffee shop where the stars frequent throught the Day.I saw couple of stars & icons of Cinema like Dilip Kumar in just my small spent time there in shop.Also many of my favorite Celebs  lived right next.So during my stay, I kept oscillating between Luxe & street side of the city.Mornings were spent mostly admiring the beauty of the Seaside.

It would be unfair not to mention the noise of the silent sea right next or the customer friendly Auto drivers.It is no mess traveling despite the overwhelming monsoon of the city right now.

Also , I could go on but here I leave you with my Insta bytes of trip.It was a perfect getaway to say the least.Can I be pardoned for not being able to have proper outfit pictures but hope you like the blogger's Insta takes :

Unpacking makes me sob

This trip was more than special in many ways.With a perfect holiday coming to end,comes planning for the next one. I read somewhere that the one who thinks the most about a holiday is the one who has just taken one which holds true for me right now.

Special Thanks to S for being a perfect host & showing me around. XX

May I ask , when are you planning next getaway because the only thing keeping you away from it is you.

Till next

Fashion's latest - "Chaos to Couture" at Met ball !!

To upkeep yourself of the latest buzz on fashion, here is a little piece on the coming up glitzy affair right for you , we all love that , don't we ? And all the more when it has punk.

Accessory designer Charlotte Olympia has teamed up with jeweler Tom Binns to create a special collection for the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition

The limited-edition pieces will include shoes and bags, and will take punk fashion as their inspiration - so think platform heels, studs and neon flourishes.

The inaugural gala benefit for the exhibition, the Met ball, will take place on 6 May, and promises to be one of the glitziest affairs on the New York social calendar.

The show will highlight the origins of the punk movement in London and New York, and chart the connections between punk fashion on the streets and how it inspired haute couture and ready-to-wear fashions on the catwalk.

Sheer Love

Pictured: Elizabeth Hurley wearing a punk-inspired Versace gown

With umpteen designs on display, original punk looks will be juxtaposed with designer pieces that were inspired by punk fashions, including safety pins, torn fabrics and bleached denim.

This year's hosts include actress Rooney Mara and designer Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, both known for their gothic sensibility, while Beyonce, who wore Givenchy last year, has been announced as a special guest host.

More details are upnext.
