Time for a 'Shorts' Break

Pictures Compiled from the Internet

 There are very few things I like about summers, and one of them happens to be 'SHORTS'! Watermelon is another one :)


Come summers, come shorts! A girls wardrobe is incomplete without some cute/ sexy shorts. In fact the other day I felt so overdressed during my visit to Select City since almost everyone was in shorts and poor me in traditional jeans :(

These days, there are plenty to chose from. You can go for denim shorts, cotton shorts, hot pants, leather shorts, patterned shorts and even velvet shorts! Honestly I have not dared to venture into anything besides the first three and denim shorts are my favorites! I have one from Forever 21. If you're planning to buy a few pairs, here's what to do.

Where to buy Shorts from?

1. Old pair of Jeans
You don't need to spend money here. In case you've got bored of your jeans, you don't have to throw them away! You can create a brand new item of them by simply cutting the legs!! I have done it since college and I just love 'em.

2. Street Shopping
Just drop in at any of the popular street shopping ventures be it Sarojini, GK M Block or Janpath, you will find fabulous stuff for great prices. Trendy, cute, colorful shorts for just Rs 200!! In case you're a starter, you might wanna start from here. But take a sample along as you wouldn't get a trial room there!

3. Mall Shopping
I can't think of any brand that doesn't sell shorts in summers! Walk into any store and you would find loads of shorts lying around. However, in case you just wanna see what's available I have compiled some pictures from place where I have bought shorts from and loved them!  I will do some OOTDs in those some time. For now take a look at pictures from the calalogues.

And the funny thing is that though they are all shorts at they end of the day, they still have been given different names!! Take a look at those too!

So, which ones do you like and where do you buy your shorts from?

Zara has an Interesting Shoe Collection

Can you believe it, I go to the Select City Mall every weekend but today was the first time I entered the Zara store! Don't ask me why, because I am wondering myself! It was a Friday and the bosses were away, so I left office a little early. Dropped in the mall for some work which was over in the first 10 minutes. But then there was no point going home so early on a Friday evening. So I made the most of this opportunity of my being alone, by window shopping without feeling the guilt of making someone else wait!

Anyway coming to Zara, the store's pretty huge and very nicely set up and color coordinated. Besides clothes, they also have a huge collection of shoes comprising low heels, wide heels, stilettos, ballerina and some flats. I liked them and so decided to write about the two pairs that I thought were the most interesting (not necessarily the ones that I loved)!! Well, I think you need to have 'something' to be able to carry those shoes (both in terms of comfort and style). I know I can't (heels or price, both are pretty high). Nevertheless, I want to write about them. And do tell me what you think.

WIDE-HEELED SATIN SANDAL

Price: 5,990 INR

Height of heel: 11 cms./ 4,33 inches.

What makes them Interesting:

The Heel, The 'Belt', The Color Combination

I like these because of the sleek style and the vibrant colors. 

Extremely chic and smart.

TWO-TONE WIDE-HEELED SANDAL

6,990 INR

What makes them Interesting:

The Black & White Heel, The Zipper

I don't these tooo much because they have the same old basic design, but as I said, found them interesting!!

Something that I really liked about Zara

I took some pictures in the store but they did not come out well since I clicked them in a hurry. When I came back home and looked at them, I was rather disappointed since I could not have written this post without the pictures. So I checked their website and was glad to see that they had it updated unlike most other brands in India. I did not see all the store shoes on the site but most of them were there.

So you can easily browse the site and decide on what you want to buy sitting at home with your hubby, and then just to the store to check the fit and the size. Trust me, it will be much quicker and hubby will be much happier :)

I wish the brands did the same too! 

Some shoes I did not see on the website (The pics are really bad :()
