With every moment passing
We knew this was coming to an end
New beginnings with sunrise
Were we happy?
Different paths chosen
Last breath of togetherness woven
Reminiscence of the memories
Were we happy?
Lying underneath the stars
Baffled by our perfectly imperfect connection
Wishing upon a shooting star,
for similar intimacy ahead
We will try to be happy. Probably.
Shine bright and be kind! 🙂

Wandering through these woods,
our paths crossed.
Before we knew it
we walked together,
further and deeper.
Days passed, months passed,
moments lived and shared.
Throughout our wander
we heard two distinct voices:
soft murmurs of love
and noises of uncertainty.
Deafened by these noises,
we gave in.
Now I wander alone
cherishing our shared memories.
Wondering if we walked together for longer,
just a little further and deeper
Would we finally be enticed by these soft murmurs?
Well, no matter how far you and I wander on our own,
If meant to be’s are real
Wish we give up on the noises
and choose love this time.
Hey there! Hope the first month of 2017 has been a great start for you. It has been a really good start for me and I am very excited for the coming months. Last weekend, I got the chance to collaborate with my dear friend, Karen and it was so much fun! Fun is an understatement. Karen not only exuberates confidence in what she wears but is also extremely talented! It was a pleasure collaborating with her and I hope to do many more in the future. 🙂 We have put together two casual urban looks for this piece which represents urban in our own colour.
Look 1: A pair of jeans, shirt and platform oxford shoes
Styling oneself in a minimalist way is an art in itself. Here we have tried to add a bit of edginess by wearing Oxfords.
Look 2: A leather skirt, shirt and black & gold heels
A leather skirt is also a minimalist way to make a simple shirt look stylish. For this one, we have paired it with a blue shirt which I borrowed from my dad’s closet along with black & gold heels. The gold in the heels adds a whole new level sophistication to this look.
The urban woman today, we believe, is someone who is always on the run, yet she never forgets to look flawless. She not only has an impeccable taste in fashion but also let’s her personality shine through the fabrics. She is confident, independent and believes in her dreams. She has immense admiration for all the women who cross her path and uplifts them in every possible way. She also shares an unspoken bond of sisterhood with them. She is a free spirit who no more conquers the world only in a pair of heels, but also in a pair of oxfords!
Enjoy the look:

There are endless possibilities. Explore everyday and discover something new about yourself. Let your imagination run wild. Have an open mind and don’t ever limit yourself. It is okay to feel a little intimidated by the vast possibilities and uncertainties. Take risks. You will try. You will fail. You will learn. You will grow. Nothing is meant to be perfect. Let your hair down and be a little messy. Just don’t ever get caught up in the mess: the past experiences. They exist to take you a step further in your exploration. When you encounter moments that make you smile, stand still and embrace them. Break the mundanity. Try something totally different, something you’d only imagine in your wildest dreams. You might think you are bounded but you aren’t. Change your perspective. Intoxicate yourself and the world around you with kindness and compassion. Hold your head high. Believe in yourself. Live.
Enjoy the look:
Hey there! I really hope you enjoyed this and have had an amazing day so far. Floral dresses are a must-have as you can easily dress them up or just wear them if you want to create a minimalist look. The cut outs add a flirty element to this dress. Here, I have paired up the dress with pink flats as there is a bit of pink in the floral print. This is a good way to style prints and pop of colours. Choose a colour from the print and use it to accessorise the outfit. Anklets and body jewellery will be a trend in 2017, so I recommend to invest in a few. You can always use the necklace chain as an anklet as that’s what I did for this look. I have also used a dainty necklace and a bracelet to accessorise along with a statement ring.
A huge thank you to my mum for capturing these photos. Let me know in the comments section below if you would like me to do more of these. I definitely enjoyed curating this post as it made me think outside the box. I really want this space to exemplify endless creative possibilities. I am also a firm believer in spreading good vibes and positivity. So, I sincerely wish that you let your imagination to run wild and explore everyday. 🙂

Hey there!
How’s your first week and the weekend been so far? Mine was fairly decent, just work, guest at home and worked on this DIY.
Do you have any resolutions for this year? Recently, I came across an article while watching a Whack video about 33 books that everyone should read before turning 30 (Link: http://www.businessinsider.com.au/33-books-to-read-before-30-2015-11). So, I am planning to read at least 10 this year. Let’s see if I actually accomplish it! I will definitely keep you posted. Also, if you haven’t heard of the Whack channel on YouTube, then you should check it out. Freishia B is one of my favourites and her videos are full of crazy facts. She has a lot to offer. 🙂
Anyways, for this post, I thought of doing something different and gave video a try. This is my first time actually shooting and editing. It was so much fun! I have tried to show as much variety in design as I could under 20 bucks. Yes, these 6 chokers are under 20 dollars.
Enjoy the video:
Which one was your favourite? Let me know in the comments section below and don’t forget to tag me (@aditisawarkar) in your Instagram post if you give it a try. Also, please let me know what needs to be improved in my videos. 🙂
Shine bright and be kind! 🙂

Hey there!
Merry Christmas…I hope 2016 has treated you well so far and your Christmas day is filled with full of surprises and some great cherishable moments with your loved ones. Can’t believe this year is almost over!
This is my first blog post. I had been thinking of giving blogging a try for the past few years and I am so excited to finally start this journey!
I have tried to put together a subtle mix of gothic and rocker style, which can be carried off by anyone as there is no right or wrong way when it comes to wearing a certain style. It is all about celebrating one’s uniqueness in every style and to never stop experimenting.
Well, this is my version. I am wearing an all black outfit from head to toe. The leggings and top are from my DIY project. I consider a good pair of ripped leggings/jeans as an essential as it can add a whole new dimension to your look. You can wear them on a day when you don’t feel like putting an effort or are running late. Just make sure that it is the right size and fits your body perfectly.
Instead of using a basic black crew neck tee, I thought of giving peek-a-boo top a go. In this top, there is a gorgeous black mesh with barely visible tiny white dots around the waist. If you are not comfortable to show too much skin but still want to experiment, this is a great way to do it. The peek-a-boo mesh doesn’t necessarily have to be around the waist, you can choose a top with mesh around the neckline, arm or even on the back! I love how the simple white detailing in the mesh compliments the ‘79’ print on the top.
To complete the look, I chose a pair of black combat boots with heels. These shoes are my baby. It’s been almost a year since I have had them and I literally wore them every other day during winter. For the accessories, I have used a bohemian black choker necklace with silver beads and pendant in the centre along with bohemian silver rings with intricate carvings and bracelets. Oh, and the octagonal sunglasses are from the Kmart festival collection for only 6 bucks!
Let me know in the comments section below about the accessories you are totally obsessed with and tag me (@aditisawarkar) in your instagram posts if you experiment with this look or even experiment with a style totally different to yours. I would love to see how you add your individuality to it. 🙂
Until then, enjoy the look and Merry Christmas once again:
