Ending the week with a colourful home in Paris’s bohemian neighbourhood of Canal Saint-Martin.
Manish Arora, a New Delhi born fashion designer did a major overhaul to the Parisian prewar apartment, breaking down walls and flooded the space with natural light; giving him a nearly bare canvas to deluge the place with his creativity.



His home is quintessentially Manish Arora. With bursts of colours and murals running through every room the apartment is engulfed in Arora’s theatrical touches. Follow this home tour and brace your senses for a dramatic assault of graffiti, bright colours and quirks.

5 thoughtful gifts for her this Valentine's

Read Article →
With Vday right round the corner, we are all scurrying about to find that unique gift for that special person. While scouring about Etsy I stumbled on some great items that will make nice, thoughtful Valentine's day gifts!

Plan a movie night in full of cuddles with these original statement pillows. Psst...here's a tip: Spritz your cologne on them and she will think of you when she snuggle up with them next time. 


These bath bombs looks good enough to eat. If your girlfriend leads a stressful life, these yummy looking bath bombs could just be the key. So go ahead and prepare a bath on Valentine's Day evening ready for her to come in from work, shake off her shoes and hope right in! Now aren't you a sweetie! :)


Flowers on Valentine's Day are always at extortionate prices, and there could be a chance of the florist confusing the orders due to the high volume of orders. So why not get your hands dirty and labour some gorgeous succulents into these adorably colourful planters. It is sincere and sweet. The best part is, they will last more than 3 days!



If your sweetheart loves working in the kitchen, she will appreciate this delicate linen kitchen towel. Kit out the kitchen with romantic kitchen textiles, and cook up a Valentine's Day meal for two while you are at it. Not only will you avoid the crowded, overpriced restaurants on that day, the pair of you are able to spent some quality time together to reconnect. 




If you are adamant on bringing her somewhere, this handmade leather clutch will be the perfect for a night out on the town. This classy accessory will match any classy restaurant you will be taking her. :) 



Hopefully this list inspires you to be imaginative and origianl in your gift choices this year. Make it count! Ladies, you can always drop little hints to help the men out. :)

Autumn Cranberry Crush

Read Article →
You know that Autumn is in full swing when all the shop windows are filled with dresses of deep wine or cranberry colours. This is my favourite colour of all despite my love affair with bright yummy colours. There is something sultry and mysterious to this rich cranberry tone that is so cozy at the same time. Anything in this colour instantly has a very captivating allure to it, don't you think? It could be bias talking. :)

Be Brave

Today's board is inspired by October being Breast Cancer Awareness month. Coming from a family that has a long history of cancer, this is something that is close to my heart. Meals in my family consists heavily of antioxidants due to the strong cancer genetics that we all share. However, as a general rule of the thumb, prevention is better than cure; and being on top of your health checks are vital.

I have the utmost respect for those who have conquered and survived this sickness, the courage and strength they have -especially women given the context of this month; I am unsure myself if I will have it in me. To all women out there who are fighting and who have conquered this predicament; I salute you.
