City Pockets

Posted on June 13, 2011 | 1 Comment

Sunless days, making me wonder what I actually like about Bombay. Maybe these pockets of delight. Mostly Colaba, but some Bandra and elsewhere.

Le Mill is an expansive, expensive concept store in the middle of nowhere. But it’s beautiful and thoughtfully accessorised (I love the crows, the pencils, the candles and the lighting), has very sleek branding and is worth one visit.

Pretty embroidered linen and doilies shop on Colaba Causeway.

Gaiety Galaxy. At Rs.75 a ticket, it’s the best multiplex for a movie marathon.

Bungalow 8 is in one of the most gorgeous buildings in the city and is a beautifully curated interiors and fashion store. I love the menswear and vintage on the third floor and the deliberate holes in the wall on the furnishings floor.

Also 15 of my pictures of Chor Bazaar were published in Wallpaper* in one of the Reborn in India issue’s guest editor blogs.

Pashin for Fashin

Posted on January 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

Love that two of my favourite labels Missoni and Prada have such fun, spirited campaign videos for their festive new season collections. No vacant stares and insipid poses to be found anywhere.

Thanks Alex and Sophie.

Apartamento

Posted on March 28, 2010 | 6 Comments

Oh so I live in Bombay now. Except I keep getting ill so I’m in Pune as I post this. But I have my own tiny apartment in Chuim Village, a quaint old Portuguese fishing colony in Bandra. My place is mostly unfurnished except for my miniscule kitchen (priorities!) but I thought I’d post some pictures from the house and the neighbourhood. It’s super charming, there are always animals scurrying about, and the house itself has awesome potential I reckon. Just wait till I get a bed or desk or wardrobe. Hah!

Till then, some glimpses.

View from the kitchen. So ghetto. Yet amazing.

Lights in the living room.

This dog likes me. I think anyway.

Editorial wall in my bedroom. Mostly Prabuddha Dasgupta’s for Vogue or GQ. Ah I love him.

Poseur cat. Seriously, I took like ten perfect different shots.

My window shrine. My nana brought over the crucifix and our lady. I inherited the healing crystal and buddha from my father. I’m not really religious though.

Oh and I have the coolest cardboard clock!

It’s been a while since I posted a photograph of the style on the street. This one’s from Amboseli, Kenya.

Editorial

So like I’m styling now! Strangers have been like ‘Are you a stylist?’ (I think it’s cos I wear MC Hammer pants) and now I flip my hair and I’m like ‘Why yes I am, how’d you know?’ It’s like, brilliant. Speaking of which I love these editorials – Vogue China, etc. Much needed inspiration today.

Diya’s House

Posted on October 31, 2009 | 3 Comments

Diya Sarker is a beautiful girl and talented art director I just met. She lives in Bombay in a one bedroom studio, which Neville and I visited inebriated post midnight last Friday. I was in awe. Beautifully lit with fairy lights and Robot Chicken on her macbook, she has art and her own prints everywhere, a blue mural in her kitchen, lots of lovely possessions and a great selection of reading material. Two very cute street cats keep her company when they please.

Wayne Tippetts

Posted on October 30, 2009 | 1 Comment

I love Wayne Tippetts’ photography blog. As far as street style blogs go, I shan’t be bothered with ones that feature only middle aged men in bespoke Italian suits with pocket squares. Pssh. Wayne’s on the other hand is full of lovely, light, creative styling and good looking guys and girls. And he’s a very talented photographer.

What I Wore: Bombay

Posted on October 1, 2009 | 2 Comments

Bombay weather is only conducive to cotton and nudity. So for everybody’s sake, I picked cotton. Wearing one of my favourite travel finds – this pair of stripy dhoti pants from the ugly streets of Delhi, Vedant’s t-shirt after he threw me in his pool – now mine and a Toy Watch (Kanye would be proud). Eating a cupcake that cost twice as much as my pants. Hanging out in Eero Aarnio’s bubble chair over their pool.

Apartment love

Posted on August 17, 2009 | 1 Comment

Last week, I managed to sort out my paperwork in order to live and work in India and I had to go to Bombay again to do so. Again I had a lovely time. I stayed with my friend Sohrab in his adorable apartment. I think I’ve mentioned him before on the blog, he was my first ever crush and he’s a beautiful pianist with an incredible voice. We ate gnocchi and sushi, watched Love Actually and stayed up all night London apartment hunting, smoking and talking in his wrought iron window sill which he turns into a magical nook with oversized cushions and pot plants and candles. His pad has the nicest lighting, lamps and low lighting from below and he has Freddie Mercury artwork hanging above his piano. I was a little mesmerised.
