Fall/Winter baby coats 2017

Summer is officially over, and I'm kinda looking forward to fall and winter. Little surprised at myself as I say this coz things weren't the same seven years back (when I moved to this country) I've dreaded the change in seasons especially the brutally cold winters on the east coast. But I guess with the passing of each year, I've learnt to appreciate the beauty and importance of every season in my life and embracing change. 

Fall always manages to play it's charm on me. Everything about it- leaves changing hues, the crisp cool breeze and of course the need to upgrade your wardrobe with fall fashion essentials! 

This year I'm super excited because I get to shop not just for me but also D. Though I've always enjoyed dressing up my baby girl, looking for tiny fur options to keep my little girl warm in the cold weather gives me so many more options! And you can trust me when I say so that baby clothes mean serious fashion!!! No kidding, I'm stunned by the gorgeousness of winter clothes being made for kids.

After browsing through all the baby gear available online, and having done my research promptly -  here is a list of my top 10 picks for baby girls: ( Available for sizes 6 months - 2 years and for Zara clothing up to 4 years)

Faux fur puffer jacket - Zara

Trench coat with faux fur hood - Zara

Denim jacket - Gap

Water repellent, reversible hooded jacket - North Face

Crepe mustard yellow jacket - Zara

Floral hooded vest - Zara

Checkered wool coat - Carters

Red puffer jacket - Gap

Faux fur vest - Gap

Military green jacket - Carters 

Now that I'm done updating D's wardrobe, I can hardly wait to start shopping for mine:) If you've read my previous posts you'd know how I went Twinning with D over the long weekend. Honestly I had so much fun matching my clothes with her's, I have a feeling I might pick up similar winter gear too!

Miranda Frye Ashleigh necklace

I rarely purchase jewelry online but for this particular Miranda Frye Ashleigh necklace, which also happens to be one of their bestsellers, I gave in to the temptation. And now that it's here I can't wait to share all about it. 

From hitting the "place your order" on my laptop screen, waiting for it to arrive and to the day it actually got delivered (it took a month!) was quite a journey.

Apparently I had entered the wrong apartment no. and USPS ended up shipping it back to Miranda Frye office. After endlessly tracking my parcel with USPS and exchanging emails with MF customer service ( they were so kind and prompt)  I finally had the chance to open my first Miranda Frye jewelry box last week! And I can safely say it was totally worth the wait. Though I couldn't stop thinking about how many times I could have worn it earlier had it arrived in time. 

Never mind, it's here now and I can't stop wearing it over everything and anything. The shining silver adds the right amount of glam to otherwise such a delicate chain making it look super elegant and an everyday kind of jewelry to adorn.

Details: 

The chain is 42" long.

It comes in sterling silver and gold filled. ( I ordered mine in sterling silver)

Gold filled is an actual layer of gold pressure bonded to another metal and has more gold compared to gold plated. 

I feel that this kind of jewelry is definitely a great and affordable alternative to solid gold jewelry without compromising on the quality. 

Care Instructions:

With just a little bit of effort you can make your jewelry last longer!

Store it in an air tight plastic bag to avoid contact with air. Humidity is an enemy! My MF necklace already came with a ziplock pouch perfect for its storage.  

Wear your jewelry at the last. Perfumes,  deodorants, lotions or hair sprays have harsh chemicals that will hamper the quality of your jewelry in the long run.

Lastly, avoid rough wear and handle your jewelry delicately to slow down the process of "wear and tear"

The coolest part for me was how this necklace can be worn in 9 different ways out of which I've listed my 5 favorite below.

   

                           

The only downside is that you have to be very careful while you take it on and off your neck because it tangles very easily. 

Other than that I'm obsessed with this necklace, for that matter all of Miranda Frye designs. And now that I'm assured of the quality I know I'll be indulging in a few more of their stuff :))

Happy shopping! 

Twinning with D!

There is nothing more blissful then spending time with your loved ones and this long weekend was all about that. We rented a cabin in the woods at Poconos and I still can't get over the feeling of living right in the middle of lush green forests. 

The weather did play spoil sport and we couldn't do much of outdoorsy stuff, but what followed was a series of dumb charades and poker sessions, late night conversations with lots of chai and food and getting clicked in the lap of nature. 

D and me ended up twinning during our stay and I can't wait to share our pictures together. 

Outfit details:

D's Shirt Dress: Zara 

D's Shoes: UGG
