The best photo spots in Paris, for Instagram that is. Love it or hate it the reality of todays time, Instagram matters!! Well for if not all for many!! But before we begin, not everyone has the same definition of the perfect Instagram spot. Some like skyline views, some historic, some romantic and so on. This guide is from the point of view of iconic + romantic. Now lets begin.  
  1. La Maison Rose - The pretty pink cafe in Montamarte. Every girl needs a shot here. Wander down the streets of Montamarte from Sacre Couer and you will spot it.

  2. Palais royale - Well as i said in my how to do Paris in 24 hours post, a shot with the striped columns in the courtyard here was on my bucket list. As for all the places reach early to find it less busy else you can wait. If in luck you will find a section with less people and then just go for the shots without wasting time. Will have to act fast.

  3. The sinking house of Montamarte - Haha its an illusion and i totally suggest you go, see and take a picture to get what i am saying. Its right next to Sacre Couer instagram guide to paris, must shot pics paris, where to take pictures in paris, what to capture in paris, paris, paris travel guide, paris travel info, sinking building paris, optical illusion paris, montamarte sinking building
  4. Arc de Triomphe  and the rooftop views from it- Will take about 250 steps to get there but they are totally worth it. You will be able to take stunning pics of Parisian rooftops with the Eiffel Tower. Also stunning are the views over Champs Ulysses. instagram guide to paris, must shot pics paris, where to take pictures in paris, what to capture in paris, paris, paris travel guide, paris travel info, arc de triomphe view, paris rooftops, champs elysees, arc de triomphe, eiffel tower
  5. Gallerie Lafayette - The glass and steel dome at the Gallerie lafayette is spectacular and a must shot. How about a picture with an eclair or macroon against the dome as the backdrop. If you happen to visit around christmas time you will be able to check out the super impressive christmas tree that they instal. But thats not all you have to go to the rooftop of the gallerie to take some stunning pictures of Paris from above.

  6. Eiffel tower from Trocadero  - Of course, of course, Eiffel tower is a must in Paris and there are a zillion perspectives to it but one breathtaking one is at sunrise from Trocadero ( Eiffel tower with the staircase shot) If you go around sunrise there is no tourist and all the opportunities for the perfect Insta shots. 
  7. Musee de Orsy - The giant clock inside Musee de Orsy is very instagram worthy. But you have to reach at museum opening else it gets crowded for photo opportunities .

  8. Palais de Luxembourg - Its majestic and lovely at the same time. The garden is lush and you can actually spend some time here reading or just with your thoughts. Photo opportunities are plenty.

  9. Parisian balconies and cafes - A shot of a Parisian cafe with the authentic parisian bistro chairs and the parisian balconies is well must to capture parisjetaime in its full. The balcony shot can be taken from the hotel you stay in and for the cafe shot there are plenty of opportunities in Montamarte. The one below i took near Palais de luxeumburg.

FULL STORY

Just like London its impossible to do Paris in a day but nonetheless we did have a perfect 24 hour in the city of Lights so here i go. 

red suit, pant suit, beret, all red outfit, parisian chic, what to wear in paris, palais royale, 24 hours in paris, a day in paris, how to spend the most perfect 24 hours in paris, paris, travel guide,

Start your day at 7 am with delicious breakfast of crepes or croissant with your favourite drink tea/ coffee at any of the chic coffee shops along the canal st martin closely located near the gare du nord, the main train station. After that head to quintessential paris Montamarte which also houses Sacre Coeur. Its possible to go by metro but i suggest you uber it because their is quite a climb after the train station and no point getting tired right at the start of the day. At the Sacre Coeur you can climb up for the city views but i suggest you skip that, many stairs and the view is good but we have loads to do. After spending some time admiring the architecture and some obvious photo taking begin a stroll on the streets of Montamarte. Any given street will greet you with stunning architecture, ivy and some of the cutest cafes like La Maison Rose the iconic Le Consulat. Also worth checking out is Place du Tertre where you’ll find plenty of artists painting ‘en plein air’. Montamarte is really the one Parisian district which will give you all the flavours that is quintessential ‘Paris’. Cobblestone streets, cafes, artists, nostalgia, architecture, boutiques, it has it all so a good couple of hours are definitely worth. 
It will be about 11 am now, head to the Louvre, well you do not have the hours to do justice to it so lets just skip visiting and instead check out the pyramid in front of it and then head towards Palais Royale. Stop for a quick lunch of whatever you fancy on the way at any of the cafes on the way. The Instagram famous installation at the Palais Royale was on my bucket list and i am super glad to have ticked it off. Spend some time there and also check out the garden and the arches in the Palais. 
It will be about 4 pm now, walk through the tuileries gardens and the pontes des arts to take the metro to arc de triomphe. I recommend you climb the 250 odd steps to get on the top for the most stunning views of the city. If you are in luck and the timing is perfect you will witness the most stunning sunset over the city of lights. I personally am not a fan of shopping but if you are you can check out Champs Elysses after Arc de Triomphe, its right there. I did stop for tea and croissant at cafe. It is about 6.30 pm now and you have to now head to the mecca in Paris the Eiffel tower. In the metro would take about 15 mins to reach from Champs Elysees and exploring around the Eiffel Tower about 30 mins. The first time i went to Paris i did go on top of the Eiffel Tower but i feel the views from Arc de Triomphe are much better. So i have not included it in this itinerary.  It will be around 7.30 pm  now perfect timing to do the cruise on the river Seine and soaking the city of light at night. I recommend you do advance booking for the cruise with dinner if you can but if not tickets are available on the spot.

Once found in board rooms and offices of fashion magazines and the likes, the pant suit is now being found in cafes and streets and i can’t be happier. It automatically translates to empowerment of the female species. I did feel a lot powerful when i wore this red hot number on the streets of Paris. You guys know red is one of my favourite colours and if i was going to wear a trouser suit there could be no better colour than it!!

This year the trending pant style is the wide leg, good it suits my body type and the double breasted is my favourite in blazers so i didn’t even pay second thought when i spotted the set in Zara. What i also love about a trouser suit just like any matching set is that you have more than 3 outfits in one!! Styling is pretty simple as well, just decide on the top and shoes and you are done. Going by my effortless chic style, i wore mine with a graphic tee, black sock boots and big black button earrings as the only accessory to frolic along the Seine with the Eiffel tower in the background.

FULL STORY

Heading to Paris anytime of the year, here are a few essentials that must be packed in the suitcase. I say anytime because these are just classic items that go with the Parisian style all year long. The Parisian style that draws me to the city more than the city itself, haha !! Its really the mecca of effortlessness and i just can’t stop wondering how they do it. And in such majority!!! An average person on the Parisian street is far better dressed than a fashion conscious person elsewhere!!! Such a stylish city, hence!!

paris outfit, paris street style, paris spring summer fashion, beret, red beret, trench coat, what to wear in paris, indian blogger, uk blog, effortless chic, parisian chic, french style

  1. Small block heels or kitten heels or flat shoes- There is no way you can do the cobbled streets in high heels so best leave them at home. 
  2. The colours - The two colours that top are navy and red. Parisians love red and navy be it in the accessories or their outfit!!! The other colours are shades of beige, khaki, brown, white, black. In short neutral colours.
  3. Beret - It was everywhere on the streets of Paris during my trip and i couldn’t be happier. So yes do pack a beret and make it red if possible!
  4. A trench coat - Paris weather is quite close to London’s. Bright and sunny and begins to rain!! So a trench is a must. If its cold you can add layers inside and good to go. 
  5. A tote bag with a zip that can keep all the essentials for your day out. Camera, charger, umbrella, etc. I say with a zip because Paris is super touristy and just like any touristy city got to be careful of pick pocketing.

  3. Beret - It was everywhere on the streets of Paris during my trip and i couldn’t be happier. So yes do pack a beret and make it red if possible!
  4. A trench coat - Paris weather is quite close to London’s. Bright and sunny and begins to rain!! So a trench is a must. If its cold you can add layers inside and good to go. 
  5. A tote bag with a zip that can keep all the essentials for your day out. Camera, charger, umbrella, etc. I say with a zip because Paris is super touristy and just like any touristy city got to be careful of pick pocketing.

Its official the wide leg trousers are the biggest bottom trend for 2018. I spotted them everywhere in Paris last week and we all agree the streets of Paris are the trendiest and the chicest streets in the world. The skinnies are classics now so don’t fret but if trend is of any sense to you than the wide leg it is. I always loved them because i think just like the skinny they suit my body shape very well but on one point they beat the skinny i.e they make me look cooler. I prefer cool over hot so obviously!!!

The other day i was thinking about the women who moulded fashion over the years. Does it intrigue you as well? So here is a post on who are the female icons that have truly transformed how we dress? 

female icons who transformed fashion, indian blogger, uk blog, white denim, longline shirt, summer outfit, fresh summer look


It’s almost impossible to tell exactly when, how and why a style or trend became fashionable. However, sometimes, all it takes is the drive and power of a single female icon to create a revolution. Check out the leading women fashion influencers and find out how to bring their iconic trends into 2018.  

Marilyn Monroe 
Marilyn Monroe is one of the most recognisable faces in modern history, and someone who is known today for her persona and romances. But when it comes to style, what made Monroe an icon? 

Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, she revolutionised how women thought they had to dress, and made it more acceptable for ladies of her era to wear clothes that weren’t so modest or restrictive. While most ladies naturally opted for blouses, long skirts and high necklines; Monroe showed the world how to wear clothes that showed off your body in an attractive way — and the best example of this was the famous white cocktail dress. 

Have you ever seen The Seven Year Itch? If you haven’t don’t worry — you’ll know exactly what cocktail dress we’re talking about. The ivory frock Monroe wore in the now iconic scene that shows air blowing up from a subway grate, lifting Monroe’s skirt as she playfully tries to push it back down, is an example that perfectly defines how Monroe contributed to fashion. This famous backless dress featured a daring halter-like bodice with a plunging neck and bare arms — a far more risqué design than many 1950s’ women were used to. Similarly, the sheer, strappy dress featuring more than 2,000 crystals that she wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962 again displayed Monroe’s ability to create an attractive silhouette while fusing sex appeal and high-fashion. 

Monroe was a vulnerable powerhouse whose legend lives on today — some even say the term ‘bombshell’ came about because of her. Her curvaceous figure and ability to exhibit it with class and style today makes her one of fashion’s most celebrated icons. Soon after her death in August 1962, we saw the rise of miniskirts and knee-high boots — both styles that helped women break free of humble fashion during the Swinging Sixties.

Embracing femininity and defying the standards of 1950s’ fashion, Monroe fused her attractiveness with fashion to create an alluring, elegant, feminine appeal and encouraging other women to do the same. Perhaps today, we could even thank Monroe for 2018 fashion-favourites like figure-hugging bodycon dresses, backless jumpsuits and strapless tops.  

Get the style: 
Be confident and ever-glamorous to channel the fashion of Marilyn Monroe. Bodycon dresses will give you an enviable silhouette by flaunting every curve, while Bardot tops allow you to show some shoulder and halter-neck jumpsuits look amazing with a pair of heels. Strapless, fishtail dresses are the ultimate in Hollywood glitz, and anything with metallic or diamante embellishments will help you shimmer like the blonde bombshell herself. Make sure to finish off your occasion dress with pretty pieces of jewellery, too. 

Audrey Hepburn 
As far as film costumes go, Audrey’ Hepburn’s LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of the most revered and renowned looks. Released in 1961, the opening scene of the film depicted Hepburn in a stunning, black Givenchy dress with elbow-length gloves and pearls eating a croissant on the morning after a big party is a beloved part of Hollywood history.  

Interestingly, it was actually around 40 years earlier that the LBD was brought to the fashion world by Parisian designer, Coco Chanel. Featuring on the front cover of Vogue in 1926, it was labelled ‘Chanel’s Ford’ which was testament to its simplicity and accessibility. “Black wipes out everything else around,” said Chanel about the design, and it appears that fashionable women feel the same. The vision of Holly Golightly — Hepburn’s character — revived the high-fashion style and brought it to the attention of fashion-conscious, 1960s’ women who wanted to look effortlessly elegant at a time when women were beginning to be encouraged to think that way. 

But did you know that the dress we recognise today was not the original? Hepburn’s first LBD was much shorter, but the film bosses of the time felt it showed too much of her leg. Consequently, costumer designer, Edith Head, amended the design, which sold at auction for £467,000 in 2006. From the frenzy-creating LBD worn by Princess Diana in 1994, to the LBD donned by Kate Moss to mark a decade with Rimmel London; this simple and sophisticated design was propelled by Hepburn propelled into mainstream fashion where it has stayed.  

Get the style: 
Nobody can go wrong with an LBD, so accessorise it or keep it as simple as you please. This is your opportunity to rock whichever cut and length you feel most comfortable in. Love figure-hugging styles? Get a bodycon dress. Prefer undefined silhouettes? Go for a tunic LBD. Need something truly sensational for a special evening? Opt for a floor-length, fishtail design for classic glamour. 
Mary Quant 
Now, it’s time to discuss the miniskirt. Although some people say other designers got there first, Mary Quant was the main driving force behind it, taking it from the fringes of fashion to mainstream almost immediately. Quant began seriously designing miniskirts around 1964. Sitting around six or seven inches above the knee, the style was revolutionary at a time when young women were still expected to dress like their mothers.

With massive stars of the era including Jean Shrimpton, Goldie Hawn and Jackie Kennedy all donning the iconic miniskirt, the trend soon caught on globally. Unfortunately, during the 1970s, the popularity of the miniskirt waned. However, rock legend, Debbie Harry, brought it back in true PVC style, before Madonna put her own tulle-embellished stamp on it at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards and 1990s’ girl Britney Spears took it in a fresh direction with barely-there cropped tops.  

Launching during a decade of youth culture and sexual freedom for women, the miniskirt couldn’t have been better timed. Often considered a symbol of female rebellion against the status quo of fashion, the miniskirt is still causing controversy today in certain religions and countries. 

Get the style: 
Miniskirts have never left mainstream fashion, so blending them with your current wardrobe will be easy. Skorts are big in 2018 — so why not go for this style and infuse your current wardrobe with the 1960s? Alternatively, try a frill mini skirt with a cute cami for an interesting outline, or rock an embroidered denim number with a cold-shoulder top when the spring-summer season gets underway. 

Cher 
An icon of 1060s and 1070s style, the bell bottom trouser was actually originally associated with the navy, not fashion. However, the rise of the multi-talented singer, actress and fashionista, Cher, was the driving force behind bell bottoms — potentially the most iconic of all 1970’s styles. 

Thanks to her popularity in the US and UK, Cher’s fashion influence was far-reaching. From the 1965 episode of Beat Club when she sang ‘I Got You Babe’ in flared trousers, to the end of her three-year run on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour in 1974 where she donned the bell bottoms throughout, Cher really drove the trend. 

Reflecting on the style now, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the bell bottom jean was restricted to ‘hippie fashion’. But Cher brought the bell-bottom jean — which were typically flared from the knee with an opening of up to 66cm — into mainstream fashion via her fame and influence in TV, radio and film; encouraging men and women alike to adopt the style and aiding the fusion of genderless fashion styles.  

Get the style: 
Wide-cut pants are the way forward if you want a retro trend in 2018. Think bell bottom jeans are too retro? Go for a pair of black palazzo pants and match with a cropped top and heels for a stunning, going-out look with just a hint of nostalgia. Or, pull on a pair of nude culottes and team it with a floral Bardot top for the perfect boho, 1970s vibe for drinks and food with friends. 



There are countless more women who have helped change how we dress over the decades. Why not pay homage to these iconic styles by bringing a taste of them into your 2018 wardrobe?

FULL STORY

I didn’t think of myself as a beach person till i went to Naxos, Greece last summer. For the first time in my life i was able to enjoy the beach life. haha. Wake up early in the morning to see the sun cast its many colours on the water followed by a yoga session on the beach then some breakfast at a tavern facing the sea. Then go to the beach and lie down, read a book if mood be or just lie down with thoughts or even blank. By now the sun is getting warm. good idea to take a dip in the ocean and laze in the water for an hour or so. When i come back i find a refreshing drink mostly iced coffee or watermelon juice waiting on the table next to my beach chair. Its time for lunch, omg i could live on the greek salad and feta cheese but there are many seafood preparations waiting so i eat some salad and then try the other greek dishes. My tummy is hurting because of food overdose and all i am good for now is sleep. So i go back to the apartment and sleep in till its about 5. Take bath post wake up, put on a breezy outfit and head to the beach to see the sun again cast its many colours on the water. Be amazed by the different shades of yellow and red and how the shades differ from sunrise to sunset. I have a drink for company and now music from the many taverns and clubs lined up on the beach begins to enter my ear. A dance on the beach barefoot is the feeling and after an hour or so of doing that i stuff my mouth with some yummy food, drink some more wine at a tavern and then walk some on the beach letting the evening breeze play with my hair. Its time to call it a day and sleep with no dreams, no dreams is a good idea to me. The next day repeat.

That was my schedule in Naxos that made me fall in love with the beach. When going on a beach holiday its best to pack little as mentioned in my post on Beach holiday essentials. Also worth adding to the list is a kaftan and a robe. A towel + changing robe sounds most practical. Perfect for swimmers, triathletes, surfers and watersports enthusiasts who need to change out of their wet gear and also for beach lovers.  I missed having something under which i could remove my swimsuit whilst preserving my modesty in public. Wide sleeves help to move freely or  remove arms from the sleeves to adjust the gear underneath the robe. Ideal for changing indoors or outdoors in spring and summer.
Some people like to have the who cares attitude while changing in public but somehow i can’t bring myself to do it in the open even if everybody else is doing the same. Lol!!

This is a bit of an unusual post. If you follow me on Instagram you know i have been asking questions. Questions that matter. That put sense to life, what is primary, what is secondary. Been up with reading, thinking, asking, finding the what and why's. Basically giving to my true calling ever since i was a child. Wisdom. I'll do a full post on it very soon. But today i am sharing some of my thoughts gained after much debate. Shared on instagram but never here. Some of it is shared on instagram story and present as story highlight on my feed and some are shared via instagram posts but i always use the hashtag #brainheartwork to share and here they are from a couple of months. I call it brain heart work because the thoughts are a product of both mind and heart, haha!!!

brain heart work, the monk mindset, st pauls cathedral, wisdom viral, philosophy modern,

1. Things don't work out, people don't work out but whatever is meant for our greatest good 100% works out, the truth of this universe. The dots connect always just sometimes in hindsight.
2. Everyone other that you is a second. Focus on the first, You. Your maximum love and affection should be for yourself and same ways your strongest criticism too. Caress yourself and also impress yourself and truly be your favourite person.
3. Its only worth looking at ourselves, what we are and what we are doing and improve that because none of us are vice / fault free.
4. Surround yourself with real kind and inspiring people because the people around us shape us in more ways than what our conscious self knows, got to be careful.
5. There is no randomness in this world, everything is planned to the T. So if you are running late or plans change or whatever there is reason behind. Sometimes it becomes obvious then and there, sometimes late and there is also a chance that you might never know.
6. Love me or love me not, no value. Love yourself, utmost value.
7. Everything in the world is ok, the problem is we are not ok with it. 
8. Your best intentions, actions and emotions are only good for the right person and always short for the wrong person. 

You can now already see me sharing my thoughts here on topics that matter to me and i can't be more excited to tell you that there will more posts on thoughts and wisdom here on the blog.
