This is what happens to me most of the times, I spend so much time processing the images and editing them each weak that by the time I actually upload them into a post and start to write the post, I am exhausted and don't feel like typing anymore. But I will make an effort of mention a couple of things that are going through my mind right now real quick. 

 - I have been sincerely wondering if I should consider having a more sophisticated [in the basic bitches sense] wardrobe for work. Not entirely short dresses with pumps look [coz that's just not me and I don't want to loose my identity] but more of a maybe clean lined, black and white, Rick Owens, Givenchy look [on a budget of course]? I did like to experiment. What do you guys think? 

 - I love this outfit. I have been wearing it nonstop since I bought it 2 months ago. 

 - I had a lovely weekend. Danced for 5 hours straight like a monkey last night. I love my friends. 

- Oh and Don't Shoe Me is going to be part of a coffee table book coming out in India soon. Will keep you guys posted! TOO EXCITED!

Everytime I go to India for a vacation I have to schedule atleast one shoot there. It is my favorite fabric to shoot against. Last time it was at Chor Bazaar which was quite an experience and this time it was at a construction site in Raey Road and the slums outside of it. It is always a huge experience to shoot in India. Everything becomes such a spectacle and mostly in a fun way. Everyone wants to participate, like my sister's driver in the first few pictures who decided to wear my sunglasses and act cheeky, the construction workers at my friend's site who were all to excited to pose and then the ladies in the slums who kept asking me to fry their fish. It was awesome. While shooting in the slums outside we [as usual] had a whole mob of people gather around just watching, which stalled the traffic behind them and eventually attracted the attention of some cops who came by to stop us from taking pictures as we were creating a commotion. Told you it's always interesting to shoot in india. 

Love these pictures. Love my jewelry. And love my incredible photographer's talent and drive to not be afraid of all the shit I put her through during our shoots.
