Day to Night

Hi everyone! Here's the Day-to-Night post as promised. The day look is perfect for a busy day at work (meetings galore, anyone?) or a morning of errands around town. For the night look, I switched out the large tote for a clutch and the scarf for a statement necklace, and voilà, you have yourself a look that'll take you straight from the boardroom to a dinner date. 

And for my readers from India, here's a tip. Don't save up your heavy-duty ethnic necklaces just for formal events like a wedding in the family - pairing them with a sleek dress or a shirt is a great way to glam up your whole outfit. I call it the "Parisian glam meets Indian charm" effect. :)

The day look was featured in Hidesign's Street Style album here. I love structured bags for daytime and this one by Hidesign is gorgeous and functional at the same time. And that, in my books, is a win-win.

Have a great weekend! 

Weekend Inspiration

The recipe for a glorious weekend? A lot of books, a bit of bling. 

Have a great one, folks!

PS: The backdrop is the Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland, as depicted in the book "The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World" - a treasured gift from my darling little sis, and an exquisite addition to my home library.
