Satire, Sarcasm, Mockery = ♥

I found this amazingly hilarious website called Go Fug Yourself. Yes, a detailed explanation about the term "fug" can be found. It is basically a blog run by two girls who openly (sometimes subtly) make fun of certain fashion choices of celebrities. I know it's not nice to laugh at the fashion blunders of others and their comments border and tip toe their way on harsh but my god they're so funny that they'll make you laugh out loud (and/or snort out liquids that you might have foolishly been consuming while reading their posts). The site combines two of my favourite things - fashion and humourous writing plus it's a scathing laugh riot. Ha, fun!



Go check it out :-)

If Wishes Were Horses...

Well, if wishes were horses, I'd have half a dozen stables full! My most recent obsession is owning a pair of Converse sneakers. Desperate, desperate obsession. And not any old pair from the lanes of Bandra; but the original shoes, which (according to the official Converse website) are only supplied to Planet Sports outlets in India. So Planet Sports it is. I still can't imagine shelling out 2k for a pair of shoes. Footwear for God's sake! But then again, this obsession has a life of its own. I stare at the Converse website so often, I would have made it my homepage if I didn't think it would have been the final nail in my coffin of insanity. Until about 15 minutes ago, all I wanted was a pair of red hi-top chucks. Then, Fashionista.com introduced the whole new possibility of owning purple hi-top chucks! And I was hooked.

I am like a junkie and I want my drug. PurpleConverse PurpleConverse PurpleConverse PurpleConverse PurpleConverse. Hey, you never know; maybe if I say it enough, a pair of them will magically appear on my doorstep.

P.S. As long as my footwear related wishes are getting fulfilled, I wouldn't say no to a pair of these ballet flats I've been lusting after since this morning :)

In Love ♥

My new love. I warned you I've become dangerously obsessed with fashion, didn't I?

P.S. I wish I had found a new obsession with something that doesn't cost a whole load of money. Or any money. Like oxygen or something. Oh well *looks at the dress and sighs*

Much Ado About Nothing

Ok I wanna write about something, I really do. The problem is, I have nothing to write about. My life is so mind numbingly dull at the moment. If I started writing about it, I'd fall asleep half way through it myself. And I just can't think of any topic to write about. Nothing. At first I thought about how since I'm having such a tough time I should write about writer's block. Seemed brilliant at the time. After all, I'd be killing two birds with one stone. Problem is, there's not much to write about writer's block (yeah, I know, shocking!). The words "It sucks" pretty much sums up the whole thing. I need a life so I can blog about it!

Oh! *candle flashes over head* (because light bulbs use up more energy than candles. duh.) I know something I can write about. How about my sudden frightening obsession with all things related to fashion? Oh my god, it's scary. Ever since Tanuj told me he's gonna take me shopping, I've become like this fashion obsessed monster who cannot think about anything else. Which is so unlike me. I'm not this person I've become. I don't think I like her. She actually prefers clothes to books! Who is this scary person who has taken over my mind and body?! You know what I'm doing because of me being possessed? I'm reading fashion blogs. No, seriously. I come online and I read blogs dedicated to fashion. And not chindi fashion like the one we find on Linking Road and Hill Road, but more like designer fashion (though I prefer street fashion anyway and that's probably 'cause I'm broke). This fashion thing is like a drug; I can't stay away even though I want to. What happened to the girl who didn't mind wearing the same pair of jeans regularly or who was perfectly happy roaming around in the same old 3-4 tops. Or who, given the choice between books and clothes, would laugh in the face of fashion and pick books without hesitation? Where is that girl? I miss that girl. I was that girl!

I'm not saying paying attention to fashion and being trendy is a bad thing; but being obsessed? Severely obsessed? I think that calls for psychiatric help or medical attention at least. It's just not me. I will stop. I have to stop. I'm closing all the tabs that have the word fashion in them. Or shoes. Or purses. Or accessories. Yeah I'm closing the browser. And done. Whew, loadsa melodrama eh?

In other news, ballet flats are really very cute.

How adorable are these? I'm gonna see if I can find a pair like these in Bandra

These are amazingly pretty too. I don't think I'll find something like this in Bandra, but you never know.

Maybe not as comfy as Oshos, but definitely a whole lot prettier. I already own a white and silver pair (which I'm totally in love with) but I have my eyes on these black and gold ones I saw at Hill Road. There were really extremely gorgeous. Oh and I googled ballet flats and I see lots of designer ones. Why become kangaal buying designer flats when you can get them for 150-200 bucks at Hill Road? *shakes head at designer labels*

Yeah I know what I said about closing all fashion related tabs. And I did. I just opened new ones. Like I said, it's like a drug; pulls me right back in. Maybe I can deal with it by splurging on shopping. Wotsay?

Oshos = <3

I love *love* Oshos. They're my new favourite things; right after skirts and cargo capris and ballet flats. The whole Oshos trend started a while ago. But I never really got around to buying them. My mom, however, had bought herself a pair of Osho chappals long before the trend caught on. My friend has five, yeah FIVE pairs of Oshos. I decided to get myself a pair as well. And let me tell you they are the best thing ever! (I'm just saying best thing ever till I find the next thing I fall in love with) They come in a wide range of colours; though black is the most preferable 'cause it'll go with anything. They're cheap too which make them all the more lovable. Literally dirt cheap; they cost like a grand total of 50 bucks. And the best part is that they are so super comfy! You don't have to deal with shoe bites and all that crap. And since it's summer, it'll look great on any casual outfit. So what's not to love. I, in fact, loved them so much that I got myself two pairs - one black and the other pink. Surprisingly I couldn't find them anywhere on Linking Road. Ballet flats are the rage there. I did manage to find them in Hill Road though; at a small shop near St Stanislaus. They're really such a bargain and I *love* them. Oh wait, I mentioned them already. Eh well.

P.S. For some strange unfathomable reason, I can't seem to upload the pic I have of Oshos which I found after so much hard work! *makes angry face*

P.P.S. After much trying and cursing and whacking the computer, I *finally* managed to upload the pic. So yay.
