A couple of things in this post. First, here are some pictures that were clicked recently.

Dress - F21, Shoes - Miss Sixty, Bracelets - India

Next, sweet Vertu of Vivaciuosblog17 passed the " Kreativ Blogger Award" to me in which I have to disclose 7 interesting things about me.

Here we go:

- I am strong willed, impulsive, adaptive, very selective, impatient, sensitive and hyper active. If some of these clash, don't worry - I am Gemini :)

- I am in finance field by profession.

- I firmly believe that A is A and I love Ayn Rand.

- I don't have any OCD's (not even shopping. I can exercise reasonable self restraint).

- I can not eat hot and spicy food (even a little bit spicy). Not surprisingly, lot of my classmates therefore think I am pseudo Indian.

- You don't want to sit next to me while watching horror movies or on a dangerous ride; I shout my guts out.

- I have a name which doesn't have ANY meaning. Now, being an Indian and having lived 25 years in India, you can imagine how unusual this is and how amusing it can be for people to keep asking and/or guessing the meaning of my name. And, how difficult it was for me to explain to them that my name is just a name..please don't find any meaning in it :)).

P.S: I will pass on the award to some of my favorite bloggers next time. In a bit of rush right now.First, a few photos that were clicked recently.

Lastly, have an awesome weekend, everyone!

Pretty soon I will bid goodbye to my summer break and would be back in school. I will be juggling with multi million things to do at the same time and my multi tasking abilities would be put to a severe test. I have thought out of some ways on how to balance all that with my blog, but I wanted to ask this from all my readers out there -

"How do you best balance work, study or generally busy life with regular and interesting blog posts? Are there any useful tips or advice you have? Do you blog at night, day, in the bus or on weekends? Are there some things that seem to work really well for you? "


It would be great if you guys can share your thoughts on this and help me keep my blog as rocking as ever ;))

On a random note, this was what I wore for a trip to the mall.

I guess I was not trying to put together a color blocking sorts of outfit, but it turned out this way. The best thing is that I have grabbed, everything I am wearing, at great deals and fantastic prices. Hope you like it (will have better quality pictures next time :))

Summer in Seattle is really short lived. We survive through nine gloomy, dark and rainy months to get just three months of sunshine. However, those three months are the most beautiful and gorgeous and are totally worth the wait (or so I would like to believe!). Summers are going to be over soon here and even thinking about it makes me sad. Shorter days, little or no sun, and constant drizzling would be upon us Seattleites. But, there will be thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year to look forward to and the cycle will go on and on. It’s amazing how after moving to U.S weather has become such a prominent part of my existence and affects my moods, thoughts and behavior. Back home, I never remember paying any special attention to weather or weather forecast being the hot topic of discussion, as is the case here.

Anyways, coming back to the outfit. You must be thinking that this a wedding and Indian Fashion blog, so where did the outfit post come from? Well, you are right. This blog is all that, but it also is an extension of my personality and this is the way for me to connect with my readers on a personal level. I seldom wear Indian outfits here and hence in most of these kinds of posts you will see me in western wear. The one below is what I wore on a casual day out. Hope you like it!

In case you are wondering where have I disappeared (too bad if you aren't, still!!! angry face) over the past few days, I am on a short trip back home. And, you know how things are when you have 1000 things to do and never the enough time. But but but, today I received such a wonderful news that I had to come out of my hibernation and share it with everybody. I was featured in the Style Stories in The Telegraph. Below is a snapshot; click here to read the full article.



"If you are poised to get married and need tips on how to look the part of a fashion savvy bride, look no further than www.weddingonthecards.blogspot.com. The woman behind the blog, Sovina Gehlot, a management student based in Idaho, US, says: “I started the blog when I was getting married and putting my trousseau together.” She started the blog in March 2010 with reviews of the latest couture collections from the Indian runways (which she keeps a tab on long-distance) along with advice on jewelery, bags/clutches and shoes."



This is my very first feature and my own sweet Hall of Fame :) So you can imagine how excited I am!!! Without getting into a never ending thank-you speech, I just wanted to share this with everybody (actually i want to shout out from the rooftop!!!). Feels awesome to be featured with such accomplished bloggers. Also, a big thanks to Arundhati Basu from The Telgraph for finding me (:)) and for her super duper write up.

Hope all of you are having a great time. I have lot of blog catching up to do and I will surely be back on my favorite track very very soon.

Krimly from My Cherry Gum has featured me in the list of ten blogs that she likes (see here). This is my first feature and it means so so much to me. Just want to shout out and say thanks to Krimly and to all my my wonderful friends here on the blog, who make this blog so very very special. Please do stop by and say hi to Krimly from my side :)

Coming back to the original post that I intended to do . This is probably my most favorite piece of clothing these days. I love the linen fabric and the fact that they are so comfortable and can be styled up in so many ways. This is how I wore them on two different occasions.



And, now passing the "A Blog with Substance Award" that I received from Ruth of Underneath his wrappings (here) to the following amazing blogs.



1) It's Uber Chic
2) My Cherry Gum
3) Pink & Black
4) Animated Confessions
5) Someplace Else
6) Miles of Style

This is perhaps the most colorful piece of clothing I have. I bought this dress a year back but couldn't really find a good occasion to wear it. Finally, I showed it some love while vacationing in Hawaii this year and I guess it was just the perfect place to wear it. The beautiful colors in the water & on the ground accentuated the colors in this dress even more.



Another reason I love this dress is because it instantly lifts up my spirits. I am a very color loving person by nature and big bright colors always attract me. The reason I am holding my hat is that it was so windy that day that it kept flying away. Also, as you can see in the pictures my hair are a little messy again because of the wind.

I don't have too many tube dresses or tops in my closet. Usually I am not very comfortable wearing tube and that's why I added the necklace just to feel a little covered up.



What about you? Are you a color person? Do you prefer bright colors or neutrals? Please share in the comment box.

It was my birthday last week - a perfect occasion to dress up. This is what I wore for dinner date & some shopping with my husband. I like this dress as I can wear it in so many ways - with a jacket, with a belt or just simply with some fabulous heels & clutch.



The belt I added was just to glam up the look & not for fitting etc. Hence I am wearing it a bit loose. The gold & blue look so fab together that I think the belt would be a good idea to glam up the whole look. The heels are the ones that I wore on my wedding day underneath my lehenga. I searched every nook& corner of Delhi to find sandals that would not just be a waste after the wedding day. I wanted to be able to use them multiple times & these are just the ones I was looking for.


And, of course I am haaaapppppieesssstttt after shopping. So, here are the some that we clicked in the mall with my i phone camera.


Have a great weekend. Hope you like them!!!

I wore this dress a couple of days back for an evening coffee. I always used to wear it with a black belt but this time I thought of pairing it with my brown belt and it worked pretty well (I think). Wearing it with my super comfy blue heels.



Usually we (my husband takes all of the pictures) take 5-6 shots and from them I get 1-2 right. But, on this day I was lucky enough to get 4 of them right. So, here are some we took in the garden.


Dress - G.K, Belt - American Eagle, Jacket - Forever21, Shoes- Urbanoriginal

Hello Ladies

This is a new section that I am adding to my blog - a small retreat where I would rant about my personal style, what I am wearing currently, things that I am obsessed about and lots more... On the surface it may seem as a slight departure from the current theme of my blog, but actually it is just an extension of my passion for style and fashion.

Hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoy reading other stuff on my blog!!! As always, would love to hear from all of you.

Starting right here with my first outfit post


Denim Shorts - Wet Seal, Blazer - Target, Breton Stripes - Forever 21

Currently I can't seem to get enough of stripes. Whenever I go shopping I feel myself drooling over all the striped pieces - shorts, pants, tops, shoes. Combining two of the latest trends of the season - stripes & shorts - I feel all set for the best summer months ahead. Added the boyfriend blazer to give a little shape & edge to the outfit.
