New In: Quilted Ballet Shoes

Hi, All! Sorry for not updating here for 2 weeks. Time just flew....somehow. So I dropped in a shoe store yesterday, and found 2 flat casual pairs that I needed. You know, since no high heels for some time. After being in the store for over 15 mins, and trying many many shoes that were too big for me, I was glad that I at least got 2 pairs.

I just love the color combo of these. Taupe-ish grey with light grey accents. Quite impressed with the quality too for the price. No sloppy stitching and glue marks and such. They are soft and cushioney, so I'm gonna be wearing them a lot during the next 4 months of my pregnancy.

Size ~ 36. I'm usually a 33, but these fit me fine. 

From ~ Stelatoes, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi (Next to Rajco)

Price ~ Rs.795.

They're also available in Black & White.....

Now I'm thinking maybe I should have gotten the black ones too.....maybe white too! Oh, the greed.

Thank You for reading, and I'll talk to you again soon.

Whenever you see grass & greenery in my pics, it means I'm staying at my in-laws. Have been here for a few days, and will be heading home tomorrow.

P.S.  In some online websites in India, they call ballet shoes "Bellies" or "Belly Shoes". Funny, no? As if they're for belly dancing =D

Birthday Pics & Haul

Hi everyone, Happy Sunday! I don't usually blog on Sundays, but this post was supposed to be up on Friday! I don't know what happened. Thursday the 22nd was my birthday, and this is the outfit I did not wear....haha....only because it was a lil' too formal for shopping. In addition to that, it felt too tight around the waist part! You may not see the baby bump here, but boy I couldn't breathe! I wasn't feeling that great to be clicking a OOTD, but I wanted to click some pics with Mr.CZ, so I decided to quickly click a few singles.

Dress:Forever New

Belt: Jane Norman

Shoes: ZARA (shown properly here)

Bag: Floozie

Watch: Fossil

Nails: The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Nails PK109 (shown here)

I didn't have time to click pics of my final outfit, but below is an Instagram pic in the car....

Skirt: Topshop (worn here) I wore it with a Lipsy top. After dinner, they also felt too tight! I had to unzip my skirt while sitting in the car =D

Bag: Warehouse

Shoes: Vincci slip-ons with kitten heels (shown in video below)

My birthday cake. I was dying to have pineapple cake. People say you're not supposed to have pineapple when you're pregnant, but my Doc said it's fine to eat after the 1st Trimester.

Yes, I made a special wish ;)

I got some pink carnations & coral roses (I asked for 6 roses, but seller mistakenly packed 5). They dried up in 2 days, because of this hot weather (or maybe I didn't cut the stems right?), and now I don't feel like buying fresh flowers anymore! =\

Had dinner at Nandos in Cyber Hub. I had 1/4 Chicken (Extra Hot) with Spicy Rice, Portuguese Salad & Tea (yup, no wonder I had to unzip my skirt!) Mr.CZ had a burger.

After that, we went to Hard Rock Cafe. Loved the music there & I had one big glass of Virgin Bloody Mary. Here's an Instagram video I posted that day....

Haul:

 Clockwise:

Forever New Kyla Ponte & Lace Yoke Dress

Zara Dress With Slit Shoulders Yellow

Forever New Joselyn Lace Yoke Applique Shirt

Zara Draped Skirt

Forever New Corrine Chain Jewelled Belt

Forever New Pure Bow Hair Clip

 

♥

So...ya, my clothes are too tight, and high heels aren't comfortable for long anymore.

It is going to be a magical time! =D

Thank You for reading all, talk again soon!

Unboxing Mail....

Like A Boss.

Have you met my Nici Lion? Mr.CZ gifted him to me years ago, and now he lives in my room. He looks so relaxed & lazy with his wobbly legs when I lay him on the rug, that he reminds me of myself these days =D

Today, I sat with him & we unboxed some goodies that came in the mail.

The Body Shop Strawberry Range ~ Body Butter, Shower Gel & Body Mist.

Maybelline Colossal Box ~ A cute 3-tier box with some Colossal products.

Blonde Wig & Weaving Cap from Ebay ~ Waited weeks for this!

♥

Have A Good Day, Everyone! =)

Thank You for reading & talk again soon.

My Vanity Table

Hi Everyone! I spent most of last weekend sorting through my makeup, and somewhat organizing them. Thing is, they are not all in one place right now, coz some are still in some box. But I thought I'd show you the first stage of my vanity now, and do an update post later.

There are 3 drawers. I have to get some drawer dividers so I can arrange the makeup properly. You can see the mess there right now =D

Top Drawer ~ Frequently used lipticks, blushes, bronzers, face products, eyeshadow palettes

Middle Drawer ~ Rest of my lipsticks, false lashes, Limited Edition products, etc.

Bottom Drawer ~ I store all my hair tools, curlers, etc.

I keep all these cute Kawaii makeup right at the top: Etude House, Tony Moly, Hello Kitty Lipsticks, The Face Shop Mini Pet Hand Cream. You can see more pics of these in my beauty blog here, and use the Search bar at the top of the page.

Favorite Perfumes: Marc Jacobs Daisy, Escada Cherry In the Air, Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola!, Marc Jacobs Dot.

Here, I kept the acrylic lipstick organizer (shown on IVC here), Blushes

In the box space there, I put all my Urban Decay Naked Palettes, etc.

Heart jewelry stand (bow is a clip/brooch), kabuki brushes, MAC lipsticks (for a post on IVC here), my cutie Fizzy Moon bear that Mr.CZ got me (came with a coffee mug)

This is an acrylic organizer where I keep my everyday products ~ Brushes, Face products, mascaras, eyeshadows.

 In the pink vase there, I keep eyeliner/lip liner pencils. 

3 other favorite perfumes in the back: YSL Paris Rose, Mariah Carey Luscious Pink, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy.

Eyelash Curler, tweezers, eyelash applicator, lash comb, Tangle Teezer (hairbrush), Paperchase Sticky Notes & pen, Watch (so I don't lose track of time when I'm getting ready.)

What's Missing:

Vanity Chair ~ I've yet to find one I like. I'm looking for a white with quilted cushioned look, specifically pastel pink/blue/mint.

 

Acrylic Makeup Organizer ~ Just one to keep some most-used products. I'll be ordering one from Ebay.

Vanity Lights ~ If it can be done, I'm planning to get lights installed/attached on the right side of the mirror & maybe top too. I don't know, I have all these ideas hehe =D

*****

 Will update once the organizing is complete & I'll take you through my entire makeup collection.

Oh, for those who asked me how I keep dust away, I use this Magic Duster every other day.....

Thank You for reading & I'll see you again soon! <3

OOTD & Baby CZ Sonogram Pics

QUICK! Think of a number from 10 to 19.

Don't scroll down until you've thought of the number first!

We'll call it "Intuition Test"

Number in mind? Okay, now you can continue reading....

I had not seen this Mango dress for a long time, coz I'd left it in India when we moved to UK. You must have seen it on IVC (here). So I felt like wearing it for the 2nd time. I know, we need pastel yellow shoes too =D

And here are some sonogram pics of Baby CZ.....

First pic ~ Very first sonogram, when it looked like a diamond ring. Posted here

Second & Third pic ~ From Down's Syndrome Test. Everything was fine. That's it's hand, not a snorkel.

Last pic ~ Baby CZ waving. I know it's a graphic photo, but it was cute when it happened =)

It may look big, but it's only about 7cm.

Okay, hope you have a number in mind.

The due date is......

......is......

 .

......is......

......is......

......is......

13th October!

After the first ultrasound, they put 8th October as the due date, but of course they said it'll be confirmed only after the 2nd ultrasound.

So, tell me, what number did you think of??? =)

Thank You for reading & will see you again soon!

Have a wonderful Easter tomorrow.

Planning A Colorful Kitchen

Let's just say if it's not pastel or colorful, it doesn't belong in my new kitchen =D

At first, I thought about making it all white & pastel, but it's so hard to find pastel kitchenware in India, so I decided bright and colorful is the way to go. These are just a few of the pots, pans, kettles & mugs that I've found and have with me me so far.

Finally got to take out my Katie Alice mint-colored mugs that I got in England.

I'm still hunting for more pink and colorful stuff- cutlery, storage containers, spice jars, tea set, etc, etc.

So will post pictures when it's complete! =)

Thank You for reading & y'all have a bright & colorful week!
