Hello June! Give me Summer......

June is here! I can't believe half the year has already gone by.... Summer does not start for us officially until another two weeks but one can already feel its presence....The grass has turned a deeper shade shade of green; pastel colored blooms are now giving way to more deeper shades of color; hot cups of chai have been replaced with iced-tea, lassi, buttermilk and fresh fruit juices; cotton fabrics and open toed sandals are dominating the style scene; parks and pools are alive with squeals of laughter; ice-cream parlors have people queuing up for the new flavors of the season, farmer's markets are popping up in neighborhoods and the kids are counting days to their summer vacation..... 

As for me, I'm as excited about summer as the schools kids! And even more excited about all the wonderful posts I've got lined up for you:

~ We have deep conversations with inspiring artists and a close look at their fabulous work ( from digital collages to wearable art). 
~ A wonderful giveaway  in collaboration with Coppre
~ And tonnes of summer decor inspiration! 

Have a great weekend!

Tea and a Synopsis of what's in Store for the month of February

Come afternoon and I need my favorite brew......a steaming cup of chai. The daily grind can get to me at times, however I seek refuge in a simple cup of tea. It has an element of escapism for me. It gives a moment to breathe, relax and recharge. Nowadays, I find myself creating impromptu nooks in places where the golden rays of the sun stream in. A few cushions and a nubby wrap on the floor and I am all set to bask in the warmth of the sun. It almost makes me feel like a star with the sun rays creating a natural spotlight....  

Now for the updates, in February I have a wonderful line up of very exciting and inspiring posts for you'll. The highlights being a brilliant artist feature, spotlight on a New York based jewelry line and a tempting giveaway to celebrate Valentine's Day! Wait I have more! With the overwhelming response that we received for the Subramaniyam's home, I have another fabulous home tour coming your way ! So stay connected.......
