Having worked in the interior design business in New York for almost two years now (albeit as somebody who publicizes beautiful work, rather than one who actually creates it), you can’t help but get influenced and inspired by the beautiful products and design you see. One design in particular has had me salivating (yes, I … Continue reading »

Last week Thursday John and I attended the wedding of one of my work colleagues. This was my first time at a true Indian wedding (we attended day one of the three-day celebration) and it was so refreshing to see the joy, fun and tradition that took center stage.

I almost feel less trapped, but am waiting for the day where I can step outside the house without a winter coat on before I … Continue reading »

I’ve been neglecting my blog of late and realized this week that I left it hanging for the past two weeks with my rather moody winter blues post, so thought I’d quicly share with you that my blues is on its way out…spring has sprung! In theory at least… It’s still freezingly cold and I’m … Continue reading »
