Foot (Wear) - Fetish!!!

I am kind of in a daze these days and being pulled by colourful and cute, fancy footwear. So, I thought I will write a blog on them with some pictures of course!!

The first set of chappals that started off this fancy for me was one purple braided chappal that Anu was wearing one day. I was so impressed by it that the first picture was taken for this blog but unfortunately i dont have the picture anymore.. She took us to this shop - "The Shoemaker" which has branches in the city. We went to the Jayanagar shop and i was mesmerized and bowled over by the collection they had in the smallest sizes (my size). Most of them fit me!!! the tiny little feet of mine I was overjoyed and decided I will go there soon. Shoe-Maker here I come!!

So here are a few sets of feet in a variety of chappals..... May the foot fetish continue!!!

Bright knick-knacks

In my last post about the arty stuff i had said i will do a foto post about all the little knick-knacks I picked up from the Soul Santhe & Lepakshi in CKP so here it is finally.....

I picked up just a few little things from the Soul Santhe.

This set of 3 bangles in multi colors is made of papier mache. It was in all shades of blue and little green and purple & green. I liked it at first sight and had to have it.

I also bought a big bracelet in plastic in brown color which has polka dots...so very retro and went ahead and bought it.

Also bought this owl pendant and after going crazy looking at all the owl pendants around from Forever 21. I just 'heart' it & now i can rest content.

These were the stuff from Soul Santhe...but now comes the best part.. ;-) from here we went to Chitra kala Parishat where they had an exhibition going....

I bought silk thread bangles in 9 colors - 1 of them complimentary from the stall keeper as he knew my friend. He gave me one extra because I was her friend. Thanks R!

I also bought another chain in blue color which had a mirror done with crochet and had little shells and an earring in dull brown color.

I bought a really nice necklace made from metal and beads.

I bought a colorful Jaipur juttis that would go really well for summer. I dont have a foto of it though... It is a beautiful mix of colors and has a mix of blue, green, pink, orange & purple. Awesome isnt it??

I bought a nice summery printed top in lovely hues with dull gold metal embroidery and another flowy Kaftan with white color as the base and has pista green, peach & light brown abstract design on it.

But, these clothes i will only wear and take pics to put it up....until then watch out for it...!!

Arty Stuff!! & new chapters!!!

Last week when I went to the Soul Santhe, we noticed this exhibition happening at Chitrakala Parishat...my friend and I thought if we finish early at the Soul Santhe we would give a flying visit to this exhibition too...We finished at Palace Grounds by 4pm and from here we went to CP.

We entered, Lo and behold- it was an entirely different world. I bought so much stuff here (much more than what I bought from the Soul Santhe), I have been wanting to show it all off!! i have been wanting to do a photo blog of it. I will do it first thing tomorrow morning! So, after all the euphoria of the World Cup where WE WON!!!! yooooohooooo!!!!!!!!yippeeeeeee!!!!! i am just counting the days till this chapter of my life will be over and new chapter with fresh pages will begin!!! Though i dont have any breather between the 2 chapters...hope it will be much more interesting and enlightening than this one was.....

Massage A Thon

I went for a 15 minute reflexology massage last week..It was simply out of this world. I could just lie down there with my feet up when I was gently being massaged... I almost dozed off. The feeling of my muscles un-knotting was equisite pleasure ;-) anyways i just had to lie there and my whole body was tingling with the effect. The masseur started with my feet working on the balls of my feet when I could feel all my pain & stress seeping away and then progressed to my calf, lower back, back and then came the next best part my shoulders & neck...ummm!! that was awesome, fantabulous!!! then the head. All this was happening during the office hours but who cared all this experience was unlike anything from this world!!. All this and I did not even have to step out of the office....had to just climb up 4 sets of stairs and go to the cafeteria where we had organized 5 massage couches ;-) what did you think?? I wanted to buy the chair...when I asked for the price, I came quickly back to earth with a thump!!!! But, all in all this was a very good uuummmm experience!!!
