Walk Beside Me! :)

Hi Everyone, 🙂
How are you guys doing? It’s getting quite rainy and cold here in Paris. The greyer Paris is getting, the more colorful my makeup and clothes are getting. I am having a bit of fun in adding the contrast. 😀

I wore this oversized vintage cape on a rather sunny day a few days back. It is massive and you could get lost in it. I loved it the moment I saw it at a vintage boutique here. There is a little scarf attached to it and there is a faux leather piping all around it. The color red reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood. 😛 I quite enjoy wearing it. 🙂 I have found quite a few cute little boutiques here this time around. There are also little Sunday Markets that happen here. You could pick up small trinkets, souvenirs, fresh veggies / fruits, chocolates, bags etc. from there. I guess the idea of slow travel is amazing. You tend to notice things that you miss when you are in a hurry to visit all the hot spots of the city. But I think the real essence of city is hidden in the most unexpected places. Of course you HAVE to see the best of the best of every place. But I think a few days should be reserved just for you and your loved ones where you spend time with them just sitting at some cafe, enjoying a cup of coffee and talking about things that matter …or may be not. 🙂

Got a bit philosophical right? Catch up with you all soon. 🙂 How are your preps for Diwali going on? Tell me all about it. 🙂 Loooads of love! mwaaahh!  Continue reading →

Hi Everyone, 🙂

Here is my Karvachauth outfit. I haven’t worn a yellow Indian wear in a long time so thought I’d pick one this time. Absolutely loveed this one by Mishru. It’s heavy but not crazy heavy to wear on a day when you literally have zero energy. 😀 I paired it with these handcrafted earrings and pink potli. I hope you all got dressed up today to celebrate the big day. I am kind of missing all the festivities around. But oh well! i have you all to share it with. 🙂 It’s around 7ish here so still 2 hours to open my fast. I hope you had an abbbsolute fabbulous one. Stay blessed and happy always. Loooooads of love! :-*

PS: So I walked the streets of Paris looking for the moon. Got a ton of stares. Sanjeev was getting a bit conscious but I think I was rather enjoying myself. I told him my lehega totally deserves the streets of Paris. 😛 I loved it! hihi Continue reading →

Time You Enjoyed Wasting Was Not Wasted

Hi Everyone, 🙂
How have you all been? 🙂 Sanjeev and I are enjoying the slow Parisian life here in Paris and honestly, we could not ask for more. This is probably my most favourite trip to Paris so far. I think the reason we are taking everything so slow I am noticing more and more of this city. The people, the stunning architecture, the Parisian cafes, and just about everything is so inspiring for me this time around. I am overwhelmed with the whole vibe Sanjeev and I have for this trip. It’s slow, calm, and extremely inspiring. There is so much I want to do, change, create and be thankful for. I am finding it hard to put in words. May be it’s the city or may be it’s the process of growing up, I know that I am probably in an amazing phase of my life and every bit of grateful for it. It’s a little rant I wanted to write, not sure what you guys would make of it. But that’s Faux Pas for me. It’s where I pour my heart out. 🙂

I picked up my first Celine RTW pieces and from here on, I only want to have a wardrobe full of clothes from the brand. 🙂  I might just bore you by restyling both the trench and massively oversized-cuffs shirt again and again. 🙂  Have a fab week ahead all of you. 🙂 I’d share more pics very very soon. Stay tuned. Looooads of love! Mwaaaahh!!  Continue reading →

Paris 2016

Hi Everyone, 🙂

How are you all doing? 🙂 It’s like ages I have talked to you all. 🙂 Sanjeev and I are travelling to Paris once again. It’s like our year won’t complete if we don’t come to this gorgeous favourite city of ours. 😀 What’s the plan? Well, no plan actually. We have been here from past 2-3 days and all we are doing is just walking around, stopping by for  cup of coffee, checking out the world go by, enjoying the rain and may be stopping for a picture or a two. The day we came here my first statement was, ” I wold never be able to tell anyone why I love Paris so much. I just do.”.

I would be posting regularly here on FauxPas. So keep a look out for some more posts. Right how I hope you like this outfit of mine. It’s quite cold here. I am not much of a winter person – mostly because I am constantly hungry, I eat too much, i gain weight and then I crib too much. hihi. 😛 But this is a nice lovely weather with a nip in the air and let’s me enjoy doing my makeup without worrying about how to make it last longer. 😀 Loooads of love to you all. Hope you are all doing good. I will catch up with you all verry soon. 🙂 Let me know if you want to see something special from Paris in coming posts. 🙂 Mwaaahh!  Continue reading →

I Love You London! : )

Hi Everyone, 🙂
Sharing the last set of photos with you all from our London trip. God! what a trip it was. I am missing being there already and I can’t wait to go there already. Just like Paris, it has become my dream to visit London atleast once a year. I hope you enjoy the pics. regarding how to plan a London Trip :

  • You must apply for Visa well in advance. They mostly give a good 6 months visa if there are no issues with your passport. I think it is fantastic.
  • There are a ton of places to stay in London. if your budget allows you , do look for a place in Central London. It is expensive but gorgeously located from all the main centres and has a lovely charm to it.
  • It is best to do the money exchange from here itself. It would be cheaper for you. Coming to cheaper, London is extremely expensive. Every meal, every shopping and every bit of transportation would cost you a boatload. You can travel within London either by Metro (if you can understand their system), or by bus. We mostly travelled by Black cabs and Uber. Uber definitley is verrry cost efficient in comparison.
  • Avoid travelling by British Airways at any cost. Horrible Flight.
  • We absolutely loved our stay at Four Seasons, Park Lane. We had a smaller room initially but later on request they shifted us to a lovely big room.
  • Carry comfy shoes. The amount of walking and shopping your’d end up doing there would literally kill your feet if you end up wearing wrong shoes.

Let me know if you need more details, I’d be happy to share them with you all. 🙂

Until next time. Mwaaaahhh!!! 🙂  Continue reading →
