As my favourite composer would say: my dear friends, I am here, with you! Sorry about the mini hiatus, guys, I was doing a bit of selfcare, and then I got really freaked out by the trolling I mentioned in the last post! For everyone who supported me through all the horribleness – thank you ♥
Some changes
I never wanted to be in the public spotlight, no matter how meagre. I have probably mentioned this a million times all over the Internet, but I am a very socially awkward, retiring sort of a person who functions best in one-on-one company.
The empire writes back…sartorially: an analysis of why I dress the way I do
My favourite pastime as a kid was drawing – there were very few things I liked better than the time spent with my massive crayon set spread out in front of me, scribbling singlemindedly on a piece of paper.

Vintage Resources: Part One

Fun things to know about this shoot: Right after one of these photos was taken, I caught my foot in a massive hole in the ground and fell down. Thankfully my camera remained intact. Dress: ASOS// Bag: Modcloth// Necklace: Accessorize// Shoes: Office I bought this necklace last summer for a specific purpose. I was going
Pre Fall Wishlist
It feels odd to say this but my style might be changing a little bit. I have been super girly all summer – so much cream lace!

Sreejita in her favourite South Park jammies This post began as part of a Skype conversation when I jokingly asked my sister, Sreejita (Solo of this story) to write an article about personal style that I was supposed to do for one of the magazines I write for. She started typing into the IM window,
