The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello!  If you didn't know this before, let me tell you now- I am a complete bag lady.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE bags and therefore couldn't think of the year ending without listing my favourite bags from 2018.  So here we go.. Oh these are both my sister and my favourites!  1. A Simple Satchel from Jaipur Bought this beauty from a shop opposite Hawa Mahal. So simple, clean and utterly gorgeous. I wanted a bag like this for absolute ages. 2. Grey Ikat Circle Bag from Wear Your Style This tiny bag was a constant companion during my travels to the hometown. She was perfect to hold my essentials for outings and since she's crossbody, it meant I had my hands free. So gorgeous. I love ikat and bags made out of ikat are some of my favourites. The square checks bag is also from the same brand and one that my sister used while on holiday. 3. Grey Backpack from Chumbak Another travel favourite from this year. A neutral colour that wen...

Hello!  I am running late aren't I?  I have missed not one but two whole days of Blogmas, something I was so certain I wouldn't do and something I absolutely loathe to do. I take my commitment to Blogmas very seriously. I really, really meant to get a post up every single day but man; life just gets in the damn way sometimes. Like it has done this week!  Nothing too serious but some general life things.  On the 12th I had to run a few errands and then I hit the Mall after months. Months of being away and I was back to being a mall rat and I went a little insane. I am looking at you Miniso!  A little haul will come soon!  :)  So I am back home late and utterly knackered. I just wanted to shower, have dinner and crawl into bed and that is exactly what I did. So no blog post.  Yesterday, the 13th was an insane activity filled day.  Since we've been gone from home for over 2 months, our house needed to be put back in ord...

Hello!  How has your Sunday been treating you?  Mine was near perfect.  Staying in bed reading.  Pizza.  TV.  & Pondering over my TBR for this month.  Chill things.  :)  Today I want to share an outfit post, it's been a solid while since I shared a What I Wore post on here.  I wore this outfit during Pujo, for a day of road tripping in Dooars. Forests, river beds and hills. It was rainy and wonderful and a perfect way to spend Nabami.  Now on the OOTD  WHAT I WORE/// Dress: Sasa, Jaipur  Earrings: Manjha  Rings: Silver House  Watch: Chumbak  Keds: H&M  I love this dress of mine. It's roomy and comfy and perfect for a day of hopping from place to place.  :) 

Hello!  Purple is one of my favourite colours in the world. Pink and Purple was my colour palette of my teenage years. Now my wardrobe is made up of all kinds of colours but still I can seldom turn away from  purple.  I am so in love with my Lil Sister Backpack from The Burlap People. The perfect shade of Lavender.   Details/// Kurta Set- Sasa Jaipur  Bag- The Burlap People  Pins- Ali Express  Silver Bracelets- Amber, Colaba 

Hello!  I am a total and complete Bag Lady! I haven't met a pretty bag I didn't love. Today I want to share a little haul of bags my sister picked up from Byloom in Kolkata. My sister has been travelling to Kolkata all year round for work and has fallen in love with all things Byloom.  I can't wait to go there myself.  For now let's see the pretty bags my sister picked up from Byloom.  Forever in love with all things Kutchi. This hot pink leather satchel with a patch of Kutchi embroidery is a thing of beauty. I can't wait for the rains to dry up so I can take her out and about.  My sister also picked up these set of pouches, a trio, for really cheap and it's the perfect thing to organise your bag or use as a make-up bag.  Little birdie beauty. Also I can never have enough pink things in my life.  More birds.  We are a little bit bird obsessed in this household.  :) And finally, some fish l...

Hello!  Long time no haul.  Today I want to share a quick little haul of silver earrings from Manjha.   Manjha- has been on my radar for a while now, nearly a year. Initially, I was not too comfortable getting silver online via the numerous Instagram shops. But earlier this year, we, my sister and I have tried a few shops and so far we've not been disappointed *touch wood*  Manjha has always caught my eye with their designs and I am so glad we finally got something from them. We love these earrings and this is only part-I of our picks from Manjha, we've since gotten more pieces from them, I will be sharing those soon too.  Our first pick is this vintage style engraves earrings with floorers and birds on them. I wanted something in this style for a while and I am so glad I finally have something like this. :)  These earrings are gorgeous and pretty light weight and can be worn for long periods of time without pulling down your ear lo...

Hello!  My sister has been to Calcutta multiple times this year on work and every time she's there she kept meaning to check out the much loved and hyped store Byloom. Everyone from our cousins to close friends have been raving about this boutique to us and we had been dying to check it out. My sister's work schedule is mostly crazy busy so she didn't find time till her last visit to finally drop by the store and it was everything and more.  She fell in love with so many things there and picked us a few things.  For today's post I will be sharing the jewellery pieces we got us from Byloom. All of these are textile jewellery and all of these were wonderfully made and so affordable. I cannot wait to go to Byloom for myself! I am certain I will fall head over heels!  :)  Let's see all the beauty shall we?  Yellow Loving!  A happy yellow blossom to go with all things summery and happy.  My love for Yellow continues....
