Date Night

Firstly, this post was supposed to be up a week ago! Days seem to fly by so fast, I can't even.

Secondly, please excuse the blurry night time pics.

We'd gone out for dinner after over a month! I had a hard time picking what to wear, since everything's too tight now that I'm on my 3rd trimester. So I just went with this hi-lo dress, which came with a belt that's too small now =D

Dress ~ Jane Norman

Bag ~ Voir (Malaysian brand)

Shoes ~ Stelatoes. Shown here

Had dinner at Punjab Grill

Lemonade ~ If you're familiar with Kala Khatta or Chuski, a street ice popsicle that's popular in India, it tastes a little bit like it. I really enjoyed it, coz I'd been craving that Chuski!

Punjab Grill makes the best lamb chops! Also had Mutton Saag (mutton in spinach gravy), which was also nice.

Good Night/Day All! <3

Will be posting regularly here this week, coz I'll be leaving for a mini vacation soon! =)

Thank You for reading & hope life's good.

How To Make BIG Shoes FIT small feet

My Feet Size: UK 2-2.5.

Yes, they're tiny, but the problem that adds to my shoe woes is the fact that my feet are also thin and flat-ish - there's not much flesh between my soles and arch of foot. I think if they were thicker, I wouldn't have so much heartache in shoe stores.

Okay, so here's what I do when it looks like I'm a kid trying on grown-ups' shoes......

 BEFORE

Step 1: Place full cushioned insoles inside the shoes.

CZhome: Dressing Room Curtains, Finally!

Hi, Everyone! Just a quick update on the furnishings & decor of new home. I finally got curtains for my dressing room last week, and I am quite happy with them.

My first plan was to get floral curtains, and was kinda liking the ones below.....3rd white/grey......

 ......but they were quite expensive - Rs.750/meter. 

So, I picked up this light pistachio green one instead, and I'm so glad, because now I think they're better than the floral ones. Since they are sheer (semi-sheer, I'd say), I don't have to draw them open every time, like I would have to do with opaque ones. You know, since it's so hot outside. They also have a nice sheen  and a grossgrain-like texture, so they don't look so flat.

Mr.CZ also pointed out that the floral ones would have overpowered the room, and wouldn't have looked very good ("Just imagine, big big in-your-face flowers right there!") 

 He's absolutely right! Why didn't I think of that?! =D

This fabric was for Rs.250/meter. 15 meters went into these curtains.

From: Sita Fabrics, Lajpat Nagar Market, New Delhi.

Hope you like them too! 

Please don't take the other stuff you see in the pics seriously. I still don't know what goes where right now, so I just randomly "decorate".

I've yet to get some necessary things for this room:

 ~ A day bed or chaise that will go where that telephone stand is right now.

~ A chair/stool for my vanity.

~ Artificial flowers. Because I'm done with real ones. They die! =(

~ Etc.

Until next time......

Thank You for reading, and I'll see you again in a much-requested Shoe post soon =)

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! =)
