Hi-Fashion capers

Like a barbie is to a baby girl, we grown-up ladies think about those gorgeous bags, clothes, watches, boots, earrings and what nots, all the time!

Luxury items from international brands are a wholesome part of every girls dreams. The more intently a gal spins through the pages of those glossy Mags' laden with enigmatic pictures of chic women, resplendent in the world's finest garments and accessories, the more she dreams!

And I was one such gal who devoured the Indian & international fashion and movie magazines. Only dreams were made of stuff like this for me. Big brands with bigger price tags could only burn a hole in my pocket, so deep. I shunned,even the idea of giving a second glance to those black, shiny, perfect pair of Guess suede ankle boots, when they actually appeared on the Indian shelves in our city. 

You know, however, marriage can do a whole lot of good and bad to you. What happened to me was transformation! The good about it was that I was taught how to splurge on myself ignoring the price tag. And the bad was instead of getting B off his addiction I got hooked onto the band wagon too. It was absolutely addictive how he could coolly go and pick up something off the shelf just because he liked it. (Not that we haven't gone through the lean, cashless patch in life when we had to curb all such pathetic shopping itches!) 

I can however never compete with B's style of shopping. I just take a quick from-the-corner-of -my -eye sneak peek at the price tag and then decide whether I love the piece or not. So MOST of the times I land up moving through the entire store without putting my finger down on anything. Sheesh!!

Then B marches up and decides for me.

So some of the decisions he made for me are now my priced possessions.

B has always been hugely crazy about 'Eau de Parfum' so after running out of  Hugo Woman I now revel in the very spicy, musk like, californian cedarwood fragrant Hugo Deep red!

Chopard's latest, limited edition Wish Pink Diamond is supposedly yet to be launched in Asian duty free but I had recieved it as a wedding anniversary gift from B in March' 2009. B had asked his friend who was about to fly down from Dubai to join us in Goa, to fetch it for him. Wish Pink Diamond Perfume by Chopard, is a superb fruity perfume composed of tangerine, pear, rose, acanthus, apricot,
freesia, amber, sandalwood, and musk. Ooooo I just love it!

At the mention of pink, how can i forget to mention how happy I am with my latest acquisition?

My Adidas Bloom Pink lycra yoga pants. They are oh so comfy! The absolutely perfect pair to wear through my workout session. (I think he's bought it with a purpose to egg me on to more regular yoga sessions. LOL)  
 
























On his last Europe trip in August he picked up this handsome Louis Vuitton Brown Leather wrist watch for me. It has this intricately designed brown dial with the trademark flowers on its face.
I'm also extremely proud of this photograph that I have managed to click of my first Louis Vuitton piece! Check out its Vintage look. Isn't it truly absolutely adorable. Just this small little expensive piece on my person can make me feel like a fashionista. 
 



No wonder those celebrities that flaunt those brands look and must feel like a million bucks!
