The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello!  Time to list some of my favourite fashions for 2017.  I loved so many different elements and styles through the year and today I want to share some of my absolute favourites.  So let's jump into it.  1. Closet Clean-Up/// The best fashion decision I made in very early 2017 was to clean my closets properly and re-organise it thoroughly. It took some time and a lot of effort but it was so worth it! It has made getting dressed super-duper easy. I hadn't re-organised my closet properly since 2012 and this overhaul was a long time coming! 2. Bangles/// I fell back in love with an armful of bangles. I dug out old favourites- like these wooden ones from Fabindia and paired them with my silver ones. 3. Pins/// 2017 was the year of pins. I bought pins and wore pins and I even stuck some pins in my bags and backpacks. It is such a wonderful way to add a little something special to an outfit. I am obsessed and I don't see my love ...

Hello!!!  For today's Blogmas post I want to share a very simple and spontaneous DIY that my sister I undertook this evening.  This simple, very vintage-looking bag has been sitting in my closet for over 4 years now. My sister picked it up for me during a work trip to Jaipur.  I have been meaning to carry it for ages but for some reason or the other it has sat unused and unloved!  Bad form!  So, this evening I dug it out from the depths of my closet. The hardware on the bag had a fair amount of rust on it which I had to clean away. Actually, my sister managed to clean it off with some coconut oil and cotton. It is now slightly stained but infinitely better!  I then thought why not jazz it up a little? Like slightly...with some vintage vibes patches. We received our Planner Society Kit for November in the mail today and it came with a gorgeous floral patch. That got me inspired and I went and dug out some older patches I had on hand....

A circle bag of dreams!  A very wintery colour and I have wanted a circle bag for ages! Got this one from Kanvas Katha via Amazon .  Everything about this bag is perfect.  Silk. Jamini Roy art. All the of gorgeous pink. Stunning embroidery!  This beauty is sadly sold out from Paulami.  More pink love!  A gorgeous embroidered ethnic tote bought from Udaipur.  So freaking pretty.  An old favourite that I picked up from Either Or, Pune.  It is gorgeous. Small-ish but perfect!  Kutchi embroidery is one of my favourites.  I can't wait to carry this backpack.  I love the winter colours of this mini-backpack and I intend to carry this one in December.  This one is from Accessorize. 

Hello!  Sharing an outfit post today.  I wore this very autumnal outfit a few weeks ago.  I love the very pumpkin colour palette of this entire look and I love this indigo bag of mine, it's not too large but it is large enough to hold everything I need. Plus, it is the softest fabric ever! EVER! I wanted to squish this fabric is was the snuggliest thing ever.  What I Wore//  Kurta- Global Desi  Tights- Marks and Spencer  Bag- Jaypore  Necklace- Forever 21  Rings- Silver Shop in Commercial Street Bangalore Shoes- Max Fashion India  The little giraffes on this kurta are so darlinggg!  I hope you guys are having a good weekend.  My plan for this weekend is to get some rest.  Do some skincare pampering- face pack, a thorough cleanse. My skin is in some serious need of some TLC.  Journal.  Do some colouring.  And some Netflix and chilling is jus...

Hello!  Time to share yet another Whimsy Wear post.  I wore this predominantly red outfit for Ashtami, so this post is seriously a #Latergram.  But better now than never!  I loved this outfit of mine.  It was comfy and I could walk around and breathe in this outfit. Perfect for a muggy September evening.  Outfit Details///  Kurta- Fabindia  Bag- Either Or, Pune  Ring- Darjeeling  Jootis- iTokri  Silver- Fabindia & Amber Colaba  Beaded Necklace- The Orange Bicycle Bangalore (now closed) 

Hello!  I have wanted a velvet backpack for a while and I've looked long and hard to find one that I wanted.  After looking around I finally found one on Ali Express that fit my budget and it was exactly what I wanted!  I love it. It's tiny but so well-made and it still fits everything that I need on a daily basis, including a tiny bottle of water and a book.  I went a little all out and decorated my backpack with enamel pins that I  got from Ali Express as well.  A little gir in a raincoat.  A black cat.  An umbrella.  &  A couple of succulents.  I love how fall appropriate the colour of this bag is.
