Friday Favourites: Bag, Mints and BC!









Hello All! 

Happy Friday and happy thoughts for the upcoming weekend. Here in India, this weekend we celebrate Holi- the festival of colours. So to those of you gearing up for Holi have a safe and happy Holi. I have never been big on Holi. As a child, the water balloons scared the crap out of me and the whole messy colour splattered-ness that Holi signifies, while pretty to think about, in reality can be quite horrid. So I will be staying indoors and dry and sans colour! 

My favourites tonight are a mixed bag...starting with a delightful little Chair Print bag from People Tree. It was a Christmas present and a rather apt one considering it's very Christmas like colours! I just loveddddd the quirky print and the retro looking chairs. 

This is going to be my year of Fitzgerald! I have 3 books, these two and a short story collection that I want to read this year. I also adore the covers of these books! 

Mints of choice- Love the mini Altoids. I also love cinnamon Altoids but wanted to try the Wintergreen ones and I love them. 

But there is nothing and no one I love more than Benedict Cumberbatch. Guys...I might have a problem..I just might be slightly mental about this man. He is soooo hot! If you haven't seen Sherlock...what is the matter with you? You need to see it ASAP! I love these BBC books editions of Sherlock Holmes. I have collected 5 books in these formats and I am one happy girl! I am currently coveting Parades End with BC on the cover. The book sounds amazing and it has BC on the cover. I NEED TO HAVE IT. 

What have you been loving lately? 

Have a Good Weekend All! :)

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...
