Mango Time

Eating mangoes during the summer is so synonymous with being home for me because as a child we had a beautiful mango tree in our backyard and my sister and I used to wait in anticipation for it to bloom and give us fruit. Sadly the tree had to be cut down because it became infested with pests, but that has hardly stopped us from buying them or stealing them from neighbours (I’m kidding, of course I don’t steal, I merely help out the neighbours by unburdening them of their mango troubles).

This past week has been pretty good for me. I attended a friend’s fashion show, had an entertaining sleepover with friends and did some stitching in my spare time. This post has a list of miscellaneous items that I will be mentioning because I don’t really have anything specific to talk about.
First, I’ve decided that I will give lipsticks a go, and the latest one to add to my collection is a Maybelline colour essential in the Lustrous Lilac shade. I think it goes well with my skin colour (well I hope anyway).

Next, as I mentioned I did a bit of stitching, and I stole my mother’s denim shirt (I seem to be doing a lot of social service for people, for the neighbours, now my mother not that she would mind of course) and I DIYed the crap out of it. Well I tried to anyway. I just stitched ona bit of turquoise lace, that’s all.

I want to mention this really cool app called Trendabl that is available on Apple products, (not sure about Android though, Blackberry definitely not). It’s an app that is very similar to Instagram except it’s only for fashion. For example you can upload pictures of what you’re wearing to a party, or a pair of new shoes, or even a new manicure. Anything from new trends, street styles, funky nails to ramp fashion, high end brand products and everything in between.

I did something a little mad recently. I’m not sure if I posted about bleaching the tips of my hair in my room when I was in Bangalore, but yes that’s what I did. My hair was pretty long, and it’s incredibly hot at home, so I just pulled out a pair of scissors and chopped off my hair. I do NOT recommend anyone doing the same, not because your parents will probably go berserk (let me put it this way,mine weren’t too happy about it) but also it is impulsive and unnecessary, and I do need to go to a professional hairstylist to get it cut the normal way. I will add a photograph in a post soon after I get it cut, so that it doesn’t look like it was bitten off by a bunch of rats (or my mad dog).
I also want to add that Indian designers Falguni and Shane Peacock will be designing the wedding dress for tattoo artiste Kat Von Dee. I think that is simply outstanding for Indian designers to reach such a platform in International fashion.

I have a bit of a creepy obsession for supermodel Cara Delevingne. I think she’s just so cool and she’s so different from what you would expect from someone who’s had such a fancy upbringing. The best part is that she is not what you’d call your everyday supermodel, she seems so normal.

Enough about Cara Delevingne, if you guys have any questions or comments, or if you want me to do something funky with clothes like stitch something, then please email me at mangomustacheblog@gmail.com.
Have a great week! xx
