Fall n consequences...

So fall is officially here..I can see the leaves turning yellow/red... I'll sure miss midwest's beautiful fall colors... Door County ~ Fall 2010 I just love fall...:) The crisp breeze, the nip in air the evr changing colors. Transformation is in the air.. So to celebrate this beautiful transformation i thought of baking Choco-Lava cake.The kinda you get in Domino's..I love em... Nothing beat the chill in air better than hot chocolate. Isn't it?? So here's what I made.. All the melted chocolate.. well just melted away..:D besides the melted chocolate, even the cake turn out to be horrible..rubber like... This beats my Milmaid cake by a league..n that was brick like, just terrible.. I ate even this terrible, terrible cake.. but for next tym I am going to ring Domino's...:D

Desi Tadka...!!!

India seems to be the flavor of the season..looks like everyone is adding the desi tadka to their stuff.. First the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2013 collection and then Marchesa's... Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2013 Have you seen Marchesa's Spring 2013 collection...its sooo drool worthy... Is there richer source of inspiration than India..the colors,the rich fabrics, the gorgeous embroidery..the collection was incredibly beautiful, chic n and quite wearable.. of course some of the pieces were quite literal but then..:D..I am intrigued on who, when and how it would be translated on editorials and red carpet...would be fun to watch.. So what do u have to say?? liked it?? lemme know.. Even the Vera Wang Spring 2013 collection was inspired from India...This was more restrained than the opulent Marchesa colection..more than embellishments it took inspiration from the jewel toned colors and dazzling textures..and was more aptly named as "Out of India&

Of Roses n Rosettes..!!!

Happy Monday people!!! Don't say Whats so happy about Monday..:D.. Well u can say that..I say that every Monday.. Mondays are lazy, sleepy, cranky...n what not..:D I always have trouble getting up on Mondays... So how did ur weekend go?? Mine went eating..Gluttony is my sin..for this weekend I would say.. So I have this pink hairclip from Foreever21.. I like wearing it.. n the fact I wore it yesterday with my french braided hair got me thinking of getting few more of these.. I made a rosette from my t-shirt some time back...So I thought why not..n made myself a hair clip from a scrap of dupoini silk fabric I had. It has a little shine to it.Looks classy...n it was soo simple to make it.. Things you need :- 1) Fabric Scrap 2) Glue 3) Hairclip(you can use snap clips or alligator clips). I had a snap clip with me..I lost its pair..So I used it for my rosette hairclip. You can get some from dollar stores too. I Forgot to take snap while starting..:) so maybe wil

I was writing today's post when I saw a video on FB posted by a friend..Its soo cute..made my eyes all watery..have a look.. you'll like it too... Now that was yesterday..been writing this post for a while now..:D So how have u been ??? I have been good..I had every intention of writing down blogs everyday..but was caught up wid things..Well not exactly..You know there are days when u don't want to do things..past few days have been those..:) So today I want to share my thrift store find with you... What do you see in the snap below?? Pop of colors on white..:D...thats what a friend of ours said when she came to this weekend. She said I have seen that you tend to favor reds and pinks...To that I said I do(I love bright colors you see..:)..). But in this case many of the stuff I did/made came from one bolt of fabric.. I thrifted this big bolt of fabric ~ very brightly colored, yellows, fuchsia, reds, oranges.. perfect one for me..n all for $2..:D..you Somet

My Louboutins!!!

So what do you do when the NFL season starts and all you have on TV is Football, more football and a little Tennis thrown in between..??? Well!!!..you paint nails..simple..:) I love wearing nailpaints..I change it quite often..Hate chipped nailcolors..which make me change it more frequently..:D..Not big on fancy nailarts..the phool-patti designs are simply not for..:P..For me nailart means painted tips, maybe some stripes if m being adventurous..You get it..right?? So when I saw Adele(I soo dig her red lips) wearing a shimmery silver nailpaint with crimson painted on back of nails,I was a gonner.She matched the sparkles of her shoes with her nailpaint, and the back of nailpaint matched the signature Louboutin sole..I think the idea is fun.. Well that was the Grammy Night many ages ago... I totally forgot about that until I was reading about the Louboutin nails.."Painting the back of nails in red" just like the shoes.Well now I don't have that kinda money to get th

The Famous Tunnel View ~ You can see El Capitan on left, Cloud's Rest in center,Half-dome in center right and Cathedral Rocks on right  Half Dome - You can see the faint line going up the dome, that's where the cables are. Would Like to go there sometime.Its in my bucket list now.If you look closely, you can see people on top of Half-Dome Finding the way out. This was what we walked on for half of our 9 Mile hike..:) Vernal Falls ~ The rainbow made it more beautiful...Worth the effort to get here..   Grizzly Giant @ Mariposa Grove    Taft Point Lake Tenaya   We saw t his momma deer and her 2 kids on Panaroma Trail.Seeing us on trail she waited for us to clear the trail.But there wasn't much space for us to go anywhere else.so she went off trail wid her kids... ..n came back up, avoiding us..I was soo amazed by her intelligence..:) Well tha
