A Time for Reflection

I spent close to an hour reading and looking through my archive and what came out of it was a sense of longing. Longing to be the way that I was.

What struck me the most was my (naive) confidence. How I didnt seem to care what the public feels - I wore (and pose) with much gutso and conviction. I wore the clothes and not the other way round. I was much vocal. I talked about fashion and freewill, image problems, etc. I facilitated discussions among readers through the comment box.

I was fearless, carefree, intellectual and vocal.

Now, I'm just a run of the mill, who wakes up everyday with nothing to look forward to but the weekend. My posts are dreary, with nothing but half-baked photos of myself. My outfits are boring and lack character. And let's not talk about mind stimulating posts. Really...I think the longest post that I last did was 3 lines long.

So what happened to me? Is it work? Have I lost my style? Am I getting more and more boring/stupid by the day?

Or maybe, my personality and style has become, and I quote from a friend "more subtle, more chic,more mature". I don't need to put my heart on the sleeves. I appreciate simplicity, which borders to boring (sometimes). I don't feel the need anymore to be obsessed by the latest model, bag, designer etc. I've shifted my preferences in the pleasures of life- less clothes and fashion, more time with friends, intimate conversation about anything but fashion, good food, good books and basically waking up and acknowledging that there are more important things than clothes.

Should I?

Should I let my hair grow long like the above hairstyle?

Sheena Easton

Yesterday, my colleague made an out of the blue comment on how I look like Sheena Easton. I had no idea who she was. I wiki-ed her and this is what it says,

"Sheena Shirley Orr, better known by her stage name, Sheena Easton (born April 27, 1959) is a Scottish singer and actress. Easton became famous for being the focus of an episode in the United Kingdom television program The Big Time, which recorded her attempts to gain a record contract, and got her a deal with EMI.

Easton is the only UK female artist to have two singles ("9 to 5" – known as "Morning Train" in the US – and "Modern Girl") in the UK top 10 at the same time since 1959. In the UK Sheena Easton has earned eight top 40 hits and three top 40 albums to date.

Easton is a two-time Grammy Award winner and has sold over 4 million albums in the US alone, and 20 million records worldwide. She has recorded 16 studio albums, released 23 singles, and has 15 Top 40 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100. Sheena Easton is the only artist in the history of the US Billboard charts to have a top 3 hit on each of the Billboards key charts: Adult Contemporary, Dance, Pop, Country, and R&B."

Here are some of my favourite photos of her




Okay. I think my colleague was referring to the hair.

A Random Gift from the Mom

My mom passed me this beautiful silk scarf right before i left for work a few days ago.
It was exactly what I've been looking for. The colour is great, the material, pure silk and the length, just nice.

Mother really knows best.

There's something mesmerising about a face that is stripped of deliberate brush strokes.
It's so raw and refreshing.
More so when you have killer bone structure like Sasha's.
