Sustainability, Birthday Fashion and World Environment Day #BlogchatterBlogHop

By
I am happy that my birthday falls on 5th June, celebrated for a very special occasion, that of World Environment Day. So as the title suggests, I decided to add some sustainable fashion on my birthday to celebrate World Environment Day.

So, right now I am in Kolkata, and I have all of my old things lying around the house and inside every cupboard. I thought of going through those and found out some timeless things that both I and my mother in law have kept with care.

The first piece is this striped tee that goes back a very long way. A tri-coloured tee with 3 shades of turquoise, if noticed carefully, along with a deep turquoise bow at the right side, that gives a illusion of a tied side. The balloon sleeves go well with the style. I remember pairing it with dhoti pants, as was the style back then but today I paired it with a black plazzo. 





I had to go out in the morning, and I picked a parrot green salwar suit with chikankari work, the best part of the entire outfit was the white clutch with golden metallic border. This clutch holds a special place as it belonged to my grandmother. I have no clue how old it is, perhaps more than my age, but yes, this is the epitome of sustainable fashion. 




I am glad that I have done my bit for the environment by incorporating items in my wardrobe that have been stored for years and are still as bright and beautiful as new.

I would be attempting to carry on with such sustainable fashion from now on, meanwhile, Happy Environment Day to all, and a Happy Birthday to me.

      Thank you so much. We mostly have such items lying around everywhere which can be reused.

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

Brenda Meets Ba & Bakul at the Beachy Bookstore #Blogchatterbloghop

"Myself Bakul from Baroda." A 30 something man approached Brenda. She was startled by the man's attire. She had never seen so many colours on a man before. She was left amused, "I am Brenda from New York." She could sense the man's nervousness. " You reporter?"  "Oh, yes, I work for the New York Flash." Brenda declared. The warm, cozy and colourful bookstore that they were in was very different from the usual ones. Situated by the sandy beach, it had a cafe, equally colourful. Even the books that adored the racks had been arranged in a rainbow themed pattern. Brenda quite liked the overall decor and theme. In fact she was planning to write about it in her next feature, when Bakul came. His outfit perfectly matched the cafe's overall theme. "Nice outfit." Brenda was not a pro at hiding her feelings. "Thanks, Ba's choice."  "Ba, is that your girlfriend?" "No no, grandmother." Suddenly the enti...

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...
