Industrial Lighting Transformed

Last weekend I went to a dozen places ... And all i could see was vintage / antique light fixtures and furnitures. I mean, is the world really seeing what i have been raving about for the last 2 years on my blog ? Either ways I am the winner. It is almost eye-candy for me !! Re-cycled, vintage, antique furnitire can be spotted everywhere -- from Cafe Zoe to Lush store in Palladium Mall.  antique light fixtures in modern spaces is a complete WINNER. I just LOVE how they come to life when taken from their pre-existing environments and are transplanted into a fresh new scenery. Trainspotters Lighting and Salvage is a store based out of the UK that does exactly that. Their catalog of vintage light fixtures adorn everything from upscale restaurants and boutiques to little country homes. Take a look...

Bare Essentials v/s Accessorize

My aunt and her children recently came back from the United kingdom. They were away on holiday. Whne they came back I asked her if she liked it there ? she said it was okay ! I probed her to talk, as clearly she had a very strong opinion - for she liked it Okay. Not too good or excellent or too bad or horrible.

She pointed out from Channel to dior to zara to Prime Ark each one sells the same long black leggings for example in different fabrics and qualities. But in the end they make the person look the same. She believes each one look generic. As compared to india - where ready made clothes are no biggie, so each one has their unique style. People dont look like each other's clones.

So the brighter side of this whole point she was trying to make was
1. how unique each one looks
2. because we have unique clothes we do not need to stress out about the accessories to make a dress look different
3. Even jewellery has starting to become common, and hence the make-up and all the stress about being immaculate.




Man - is it stressful to dress up ? Or will india never come up from its dress-down code that it has been following for years ? only time will tell.
