Hello people!

I am happy. Touchwood. I tried something new today. And it was totally spur of the moment. Like totally. I think this is the advantage of not planning your weekends and just walking here and there. Out of one shop and into the next.

So as you would have figured out from the title, I made this photo frame today. I had a beautiful picture of my mom dad and had been thinking of buying a good frame for it to put in my room and as I was searching for one today, I thought of making one myself and ended up in a stationary shop. There as I was looking for a card board for the base, I remembered that we have our new refrigerator packing box (for we just furnished our new apartment. Clean which is.) which we were thinking of throwing out! You can imagine my excitement at this ingenious idea ( I know. I know. It's not that big a deal. But this is my blog. My space.). So anyway, after I realized I have something for the base, I quickly bought some stuff to decorate the frame with, got home and just started working on it!

WARNING: Do not get too excited about stuff which includes Fevicol and tape and sketch pens. Make sure you change into something not so precious as your white linen shirt before you start working with the above :P

So this is what the frame looks like.

For any of you who is interested to make a similar frame, I used the following things:

1. A portion of the refrigerator packing box
2. Hand made paper
3. Cotton
4. Pair of scissors
5. Fevicol
6. Scotch tape
7. marker
8. Photograph
9. Decorative threads

To make the frame, I did the following:

1. Cut a piece of the packing box according to the photograph I wanted to put in the frame
2. Made a boundary of the photograph in the center of the card board piece
3. Pasted lots of cotton around the boundary  in order to make the sides around the photograph protrude out
4. Covered the cotton with hand made paper
5. Pasted the photo in its place
6. Made some designs with decorative threads

I sent my parents a picture of their picture in my frame and I am sure they smiled :)

So. I am happy. Touchwood. Also, this is a new thing I did this weekend. As I had promised myself I would every weekend!

Happy DIY.

Until next weekend.

I have always been a small town girl. And I have loved it. Everyone knows everyone there. You don't know what traffic is. Every other place is a tourist place. You grow with the town. And you always belong there. Always.

Now, I am in Gurgaon. And its no small town. And I am finding it hard to call this city my own. But one has to try. So, I have promised myself that every week, I am going to try something new in Gurgaon and Delhi. This new could be a restaurant, a boutique, a tourist spot, a blog post. Anything. But new. 

So today was the first day of living up to my promise. And I did two things. And I am doing the third.

First, I went to Mykonos. It's this cozy little Greek restaurant in Shahpur Jat. Amazing Greek food (not that I have had Greek food before), amazing interiors (white and blue) and an amazingly amazing owner, Anastasia. I was a little disappointed with the area it is located in but once I went upstairs and met the lovely owner, I knew I'll have a good time. It is cozy, has the classic white and blue shades of Greece and the food is differently tasty. Prepared with delicious Greek herbs (which the owner gets from Greece every three months) and olive oil (Extra virgin. As the owner insisted), you just want to keep eating. We tried Pita Burchette, Tzatziki, Spaghetti Napolitan, Chicken Tangania and Bakhlava and loved them all. Greek music in the background just adds to the soulful ambiance (There is a Greek song which has the same melody as the song "Mehbooba Mehbooba" from "Sholay"!).

Second, I tried a new attire. And I used the very basic essentials every girls' wardrobe should have:

Blazers

Wear them with high-waist pants or jeans, over a t-shirt or a shirt, printed or plain. Wear   them to transform your simple attire to a stylish one.

White linen shirt

A MUST HAVE. Beige shorts, blue jeans, high-waist pants, with a printed scarf or a stylish bag. A baggy white linen shirt is your savior.

Jeans

The name is enough. My experience tells me to have a fitted pair and a slightly loose one. A light blue shade and a dark one.

Brogues

They are comfortable and are major attention grabbers. Go with jeans, pants, skirts and stockings! Why should boys have all the fun ;)

Blazer: Forever 21
White Linen shirt: UCB
Jeans: Only
Brogues: Clarks

Third, I am writing a new blog post.

Μέχρι την επόμενη φορά
