Popping Yellow

By Ankita Das

The best thing about staying in a city for a very long period of time is, you get to see those places which is not very touristy. They have a charm of their own and it somehow shows how beautiful the city is away from all the crowd and buzz. Yes, I definitely love London Eye and Big Ben but there are so much more the city offers. My sister took me to this place and  this dates back to the 1600s. It has its own rustic and vintage look to it. The whole street is lined up with different restaurants and if you just walk past the street you get an almost empty wharf to yourself. Read More

Neal’s Yard

By Ankita Das

Neil’s Yard is a beautiful place in Convent Graden, everything seems chirpy there with lovely colorful buildings. It is  one of the most instgrammable places of London, I can totally see why photographers wants to be there.

Also, the outfit I wore is perfect for the spring / summer. The skirt is cotton and white which just makes me feel so breezy and comfy. You can totally wear this to a brunch or for a day out. The best part is the outfit costed me only £14.

iPhone Capture

By Ankita Das

 

 

iPhone photography is a thing now and we all know it. People are really changing the way they take photos, considering there are 3.4 million photos on Instagram with the #shotoniphone hashtag, . Well for me, I started with my phone when I used to post daily on Facebook. Yes, it was annoying and I accept it. There was no front camera in my Samsung Corby. So, I used to turn the phone and take selfies when selfies were not even a thing. So, let’s just say I have a thing for my own pictures. Sounds a bit narcissistic but let’s roll with it.

Dreaming about samosas and dancing to Lunapop

By Ankita Das

I moved to the United Kingdom in around 2013. So, when I went for my induction, almost everyone had an iPhone with them. It practically felt like I was the only one with a Blackberry but what came next was more interesting. Culture shock ! It was way  different than I had anticipated. Quite frankly, it was intimidating and I found myself totally out of proportion.

Books and More

By Ankita Das

Whenever I am travelling I always pick up a book from the airport and that book becomes my souvenir . Then the next time I read the book , it feels good to look back and re-visit the memories of the trip. I was certainly not into books when I was in school. The school’s library looked really nice but then I was not interested in the books.  Oneday, I happen to read a book and got hooked into it. My mom had to literally make a whole new book shelf to store the novels we have.Read More

Blooming

By Ankita Das

 

London is beautiful right now. It is sunny and warm  and everything I love. It feels like we are jumping straight into summer by skipping spring and I am totally not complaining. I feel really good when it is sunny outside. It just has a happy vibe to it. The parks are full of cherry blossoms and the flowers are beautiful, this totally makes up for the gloomy days of London. I am currently trying to get the best out of the weather and sitting in hyde park while I am writing this and I am totally into it. Read More

Glossy page

By Ankita Das

 

If you are aware of set-wet hair gel from 2004 (I think it was 2004), we were obsessed with the idea of it. My sister, cousins and I decided to get the ₹10 pack just to try it. I remember the advertisement showing some very drastic changes and we all wanted our hair to look like that especially the wet hair look.

Wrap it around

By Ankita Das

I was in Budapest last month and it is absolutely stunning. I loved-loved-loved the city keeping aside from the fact that it was freezing. More about the trip will be coming on my upcoming post. Well, if I am not too lazy for that.

Anyway, coming to the pictures  this dress is from LOTD . At first I got this to gift it to someone but then I kept it for myself as I liked it so much. This is just one of those easy-breazy wrap dress suitable for spring/summer. It is very low maintainance and makes you feel pretty in a giffy!

Doing it differently

By Ankita Das

Doing it differently

1.Be grateful

We are so caught up with our busy schedule that we totally forget to appreciate what we have. I find myself complaining when something goes wrong but then I forget to feel grateful when I can sleep inside my warm duvet in -3 degrees. One day I sat down and tried to understand what was bothering me so much. That’s when I realised I never really felt blessed to be living the life I live. There is so much agony in the world I have no idea about, and I’m so lucky to have this life. I must appreciate and feel grateful for what I have. Simple things in life bring happiness and to realise that, you just have to focus on yourself for once and understand life is not that bad. Change is constant and whatever is happening right now will pass. We need to restore faith and be grateful for the wonderful life we are living.
