Doorway To Nostalgia

I get nostalgic pretty easily.. sometimes its a rainy evening or a whiff of a perfume, sometimes, something I’ve eaten, or a rarely spoken phrase, sometimes its a song and sometimes a scene from a movie…it could be a mail, a call, a card, a letter.. and then sometimes, its furniture..

Well, with furniture that has never actually happened before, but when I saw this by Haldane Martin, it took me back to days that can only be categorized as, ‘way-back-when’, to my grandfather’s house where furniture like this was all over the place!

Atleast the chair anyway! Y’all know what am talking about?

Not all of his collection got me nostalgic though! Some of these pieces are really contemporary, modern and very, very minimal! And, really pretty cool.

Whether inciting nostalgia, or vibing ‘futuristic’, the furniture sure had a way of transporting you to a different time and place! Definitely worth a dekho.

Rohit Bal for British Airways

British Airways recently unveiled the new cabin crew uniforms designed by Rohit Bal. The uniforms will be worn by air hostesses on flights in the South Asian routes. Besides the traditional sari, the collection has sherwanis and kurtas for the women.

I like the piped lining on the sari blouses and kurtas, but, the red, white and blue graphic print on the outfits is so boring. I wish Bal had chosen a more indian motif.

I am surprised there was nothing for the men…Do they still have to wear suits? Would have been nice to have them in Sherwanis too! 😉

Style A Stole


Buy Via Saks
Buy Via Saks

Probably the best thing about Fall is how change effortlessly creeps up on you, and suddenly, you notice a nip in the air and a chilly shiver on your shoulder on a quiet evening… And while the still evening puts a blush on one’s cheek, nothing says elegant better than a demure stole wrapped around a lady to compliment the weather and her temperament!

Buy Via Neiman Marcus

A paisely scarf/stole is easily a staple that remains a classic and timeless must-have that you can’t go wrong with! The pictures that I have posted, are of Loro Piana (at Neiman Marcus) and Etro (at Saks) and needless to say, they are definitely pricey! But hey, if one were to look, you can always find the look for less!

Considering it is such a wardrobe staple, you should pick a stole that is in your budget, and trust me, there is one for everyone!

Are you Fall ready?

I absolutely loved the collection/work of this young Swedish designer called, Karl-Oskar Karlsson who used a combination of glass and wood to make these stunning vases. And how fabulous is that flute?
