Easy Holiday Gift-Wrapping

November 18, 2015

Easy-Holiday-Gift-Wrapping-8Easy-Holiday-Gift-Wrapping-7As much as I love giving and receiving gifts, I love to wrap them up too. I’m always looking for different ideas to wrap gifts. Even as a kid, whenever I would attend a friend’s birthday, I would wrap the gift with a nice paper, tie a ribbon write a small message on a card, even if it was a chocolate. I feel that a nice wrapping always brings a smile on the person who is opening the gift and adds to the excitement of finding what’s inside.

Easy-Holiday-Gift-Wrapping-4And now that holiday season is here, I wanted to share some gift packing ideas with y’all. A beautifully wrapped gift doesn’t always need an expensive wrapping paper, ribbons, cards etc. You can be creative and make your own wrapping paper too. Just with a few colors, simple white paper, and some accessories you already have at home, you can create an elegant gift-wrap. Today’s post is just about that – an easy holiday gift-wrapping idea with a few things from your backyard or even on the street.
Materials: watercolors (metallic), leaves, pine-cones, white paper, tape, gold ribbon, scissors and gold sharpie.

Fall Staples / Tights – Part 3

November 5, 2015

Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-1Hey there! Today it’s fall staples / tights – Part 3 of the style series. (See Part 1 & Part 2). There has been a lot of speculation over wearing tights in winter, are they out of fashion? Some say that they look old, out dated and matronly. Well, I have would have to disagree. I think I’m on the side of pro-tights team even today. In my opinion, I don’t think any fashion garment or accessory ever really goes out of style. I think it’s just the way you rethink pairing it with other items and styling it differently is what makes a difference.

Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-2 Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-3The same applies for tights. As soon as you put them on, your legs get a definition almost instantly and thighs feel celluloid free. The stretch, the fit, the sense of form and structure is just perfect. And somehow that shows in your attitude too. And I don’t think that feeling can be replaced with anything else. Tights are the perfect inner wear for winters and can be layered as per your choice. For me they will never go out of fashion. In fact, I feel wearing colored tights is even more fun. That was my main motivation behind creating this series of posts.

Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-5 Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-6 Fall-Staples-Tights-Part-3-7I hope you feel inspired to try them on to. Now’s the time to get those hosiery drawers filled and experiment with your looks. Have fun this fall and winter season.

13 Reasons To Love White Wall Rooms

November 4, 2015

Styling homes with all white rooms is becoming a trend these days, however there is still some apprehension around it. A lot of people do not consider white as a color. There is a belief that if there is no color hue means the walls are bare and a worry that the house may look unfinished. So today I wanted to share with you ‘13 Reasons To Love White Wall Rooms’.
Also at the end there is a before-after makeover of a room, which shows what paint can do to transform a room.
1) Light & Airy: White is the best color to reflect light and hence makes the room look brighter and more open. It’s a trick to make small spaces look bigger than they actually are. I love it when rooms with big large windows have white walls, which reflect all the beautiful beaming sunlight that comes in. ( Pic: 1/2)

Weather it’s a big painting or a gallery wall, everything looks good on what is essentially a blank canvas. This can also be useful when you want to change your artwork and put something else. You don’t have to think if it’s going to match your color.(Pic:1,2)Continue Reading
