Monthly Favourites: September 2017.

Hello! 

I was about to do my Friday Favourites when I realised I hadn't even done my September favourites! 
Gah! 
So let's crack on and jump into it right now! 


1. Bujo/// I went a little all out with my Bujo set-up of the month. Given it was a festive month- Durga Pujo, I wanted to do a little something special for my Bujo. 
I used this floral dori for my Bujo and used this fluffy monster in glasses to decorate it.
So cute!!!! 


2. Stamps Galore/// September was month of acquiring some beautiful stamps. Some really quirky and seriously beautiful stamps. 
I love the Classiky ceramic stamps. The cat and the girl I also have in sticker form and love. 
I got all of these from Cute Things From Japan


3. Indigo Bag/// My favourite bag this month was this darling and super soft and well-made bag I got from Jaypore. I love indigo in all it's form. And this bag was love at first sight. It is so incredibly soft and it fits everything I need. So gorgeous! 


4. Autumn Sunsets/// Marmalade skies and nature putting on a brilliant show every evening. You've got to love fall?! 



5. Laptop Case/// More indigo love! 
For Pujo we also got the laptop a new outfit from Okhai
It is slightly padded and fits a 13 inch MacBook Air perfectly. 


6. Durga Pujo/// The end of September ushered the four days of Durga Pujo and all the celebrations that come with it. 
Pandal hopping. 
Pretty Protimas.
Bengalis being in a tizzy. 
All good things! 
My favourite time of the year. 




7. Pujo Styles/// Pujo means new clothes and wearing the best styles.
This pujo I wore mostly comfortable clothes and clothes I could breathe in given how hot end of September was brutally hot and humid and I could only wear cotton and muslin and soft fabrics. I will share my OOTDs soon. 

September was a good month. 
Full of festivity. 
Spending time with my family. 
Some happy shopping. 
A chill little month.

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.

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
