Hello there! Welcome to the revamped space-o-mine. Apart from some minor tweaking, I am in love with how fresh the blog looks!
Anyhoo, here are some things I have been up to lately.
#1. Shopping
What's new, right? The thing is, I have been attempting to exercise some restraint on the purchasing front since I am saving up for a HEFTY purchase for my big birthday in June. I did however check out the new ZARA flagship on 5th avenue. One word - HUMUNGOUS! I ended spending a solid 2.5 hours there on St Patrick's Day evening while the rest of the city was getting their drink on.
Pastel was all over the store and I came out with a couple of pretties. Alas, the denim, although quite on-trend, had shockingly sub par seams - so those went straight back.
I also bought twinsie outfits from DVF for GapKids for my 6-year-old niece and me. Unlike the other truly made-for-kids pieces, the tanks I picked out for us actually look cute on the little AND the not-so-little alike!
#2 - Eating. LOTS. These are some of the highlights:
While dearest S was out of town last weekend, I enjoyed a solo brunch at The Dutch:

My oldest friend in New York and I ate half the menu at Fatty Cue:

A wonderful dinner date with dear girlfriends at Locanda Verde:
Performing is an integral part of Barathanatyam and I am positively chuffed to be gracing the stage for the first time in New York this weekend. If you are in the area this Sunday, the 25th, do come by Dag Hammarskjald Park. We are scheduled to perform at12.15pm 1.25pm!

#3 - Dancing.
With all the dining and imbibing I do, something's got to give. Regular yoga and circuit training aside, nothing brings me as much joy as my Tuesday Indian classical dance classes.
I have so much love for Bharatanatyam - a traditional art form I have been at since I was 5 - from the rhythmic striking of the bell-clad feet, the seemingly complex patterns formed by the arms and legs, right up to the conveyance of so much meaning through intricate facial expressions.
