So, Im clearly in denial that time is ticking towards Fall. While everybody's in end-of-summer, so-excited-for-Fall mode starting to wear darker hues and booties, I'm digging my heels in, wearing pastels and calling it Spring (Small secret to my peeps: Pastels are trending this Fall as well... woot, woot! ).

In 2014.) is the fact that Fall seems to have taken the fastest plane there is to arrive a month early here in Buffalo. Its been so chilly and rainy here lately that I most definitely have developed frown lines. Not to forget the intense scorned lover type feelings from the sudden taking off of summer. But, but, but.. it did give me a reason to bring out a pair of printed pants that I'm particularly fond of.

Well, it was exactly such a day in Pittsburgh where Kushal and I visited friends this past weekend!

I credit some of that joy to the sunshine, but mostly to this outfit you see me wearing. You know how they say that style is an expression of the self, what you wear is who you are and such? Well, this dress is me in sewn-and-stitched form, you guys. A good-girl dress with snark, whimsy and quirk is just my thing.
Read MoreSummer and pants just don't go together in my books. After five days of relatively uninteresting work wear ('No pants, No Science', say the multiple notices in my building.), I'm usually picking out the most fun, non-pant pieces in my closet on the weekends. But one has to make exceptions for some fancy pants. I mean.. red silk, excessively tasseled, pockets.. the works.
Read MoreIf you're a petite five-footer like myself ( I'm actually 5'2", but I'm also a girl well rooted in reality, people.), you probably run from any kind of horizontal stripes like they are the plague. While stripes will always be trendy, they can be quite challenging to style on certain body types. So how am I clothed in said stripes from head to toe, you ask? This candy colored, pretty young thing asked to be friends and I said faaaine, that's how.
