Pastels & Polka

We’ve all been told that before you can find a healthy, happy & a loving relationship, it is essential to love yourself. But how does one cultivate such a love? Finding love, peace and happiness in life does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, no challenges, and no hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things while remaining calm in your heart. It’s about letting go of the pictures in your head about how things were “supposed to be.”

And in today’s always-connected world it’s even harder to keep things in perspective. Our lives are literally unfolding on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. We use these social technologies, to showcase the best parts of our lives: the beautiful weddings and enviable vacations, the finished projects, and the best smiles. But we forget that we’re only seeing everyone else’s highlight reel too – not the sleepless nights, the failed attempts, the moments of grief and self-doubt, isn't that true? Well! Think about it :)

One of my favourite recurring Spring/Summer trends is pastels. Pretty pinks, pale blues and soft lemon shades are feminine and flattering on almost all skin tones. I wanted to create a simple but chic look using my wardrobe basics. Adding a neutral colour to pastels is always a good idea so I paired this gorgeous pastel skirt with a polka crop and a nude camisole followed by these gold block heel sandals. I am a sucker for good co‑ord and hence matched my accessories on point. Now that you know, flounce out those pastel outfits and swipe off your favourite lipstick across your face, some sunglasses and get off to that stylish brunch this weekend!
