Blogmas Day 16: OOTD + New Accessorize Backpack

Hello all!

Today (or rather yesterday!) was a really hectic day. Lots of work and work-related things to be done but I did manage to squeeze in a teeny bit of Christmas shopping!

Went to H&M and bought a ton of their adorable stickers and patches! Plan to jazz up some plain backpacks, bags, T-shirts, jackets etc. Will share what I bought from H&M very, very soon!

Here's a quick look at my outfit of the day or OOTD, as the kids call it!



Wore a navy floral top from Westside... from a brand called LOV. Both LOVE and Sassy Soda have really "on-trend" tops and t-shirts! 

My pendant is a new love from an old favourite store. It's an original illustration of an indie artist's print, reproduced with permission by Polarity, an Etsy store. I love these pendants! Each necklace comes with 4 different, inter-changable pendants and so, you can pretty match or not with what you wear. SO FUN!




My main Christmas present, which has come in a bit early, from my sister is this GORGEOUS 'Free Spirit' backpack from Accessorize! Just look at all the pretty woodland themed illustrations! I die!! 
We've had a tradition of buying bags for Christmas going back to 2011! I love how compact yet spacious this bag is and it comes with a removable 'gadget' sleeve. Basically, you can slip in an iPad or any gadget of that size or smaller in that sleeve. Perfect for travel! 


Hope you've had a good week! Enjoy your weekend! 

And, of course, see you tomorrow with yet another Blogmas post! 

Toodles!

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.

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 most well kn

So come, why don’t you too join in the fun? General Thoughts: I've read quite a few Sudha Murthy books this year and really enjoyed them. I find them soothing, simple a
