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.
