Its my birthday in a few weeks time and I am one of those people, who buys a ton of stuff to “celebrate my birthday” because I am a Western consumer sheep (and there is nothing wrong with that).
However, this year, all I have been doing is buying stuff, thinking, “where will I wear this?” and then returning stuff.
This includes this dress for under US$100 that was originally priced at US$650 and in a place like New York, it would count as sacrilege
My birthday treat(s) are therefore, yet undefined. However, these are a few things that completely caught my attention and I absolutely love (but obviously) can live without.
Jewellery department
My business school community board is full of start-up news. It always is. However, its rare for these start-ups to be design or creative focussed. I love this new brand of jewellery, who are so new that they don’t add VAT to any of their prices.
Pendants come with matching earrings. The central stone is 1 carat and is surrounded by smaller pieces.
I love, love this sapphire blue pendant.
Shoes
Naturally, everything I own is out of fashion. I really don’t own flat sandals, because I am quite short. But I just don’t fancy wearing heels anymore (and that’s a sentiment so many echo). I have been scouring the internet for something suitably low priced and chic. I may have succeeded with this paiy r
Dresses
There are three places I have been scouring for dresses. First, anything DVF related (because I am that old that I love the style of wrap dresses). Second, an Indian start-up Renge, that does the most fantastic cotton dresses. The dress I feature here speaks Zimmerman to me. And I haven’t told you the best part: worldwide shipping for INR 2,000.
DVF dresses
The best place to buy DVF dresses (current and past seasons) as well as in multiple sizes is the outnet. Sorry, there is no other website that has as many variants. I am not persuaded they are always the cheapest, but that’s okay.
