With a day like today there wasn't any other option other than heading to the beach. The ocean was a bit too turbulent, so relaxing on the sand it was. For the walk down to the beach I am wearing a Primark T-shirt, Turquoise necklace and fabric (worn as a skirt) I bought yesterday at a local market and a Dimoni bag from TKMaxx
We are heading out to take in some of the local sights. Considering the amazing colours that are worn here, I thought it was a great opportunity to do a bit of 'Colour Block'. The main inspiration started of with this vibrant red Sari slip (bought yesterday) that has been pinned up to be worn as a skirt. The green is a H&M vest topped off with a Primark blouse, Dorothy Perkins necklace and ASOS watch.
This trip to India has been amazing so far, compliments of Sabu our Tuk Tuk driver that has been showing us the sights off the beaten track. Tonight we are heading for a meal and shockingly it is going to be Indian food. This photo was taken by the pool at our amazing hotel Vivanta by Taj in Thiruvananthapuram. For just such a meal I am wearing a Primark top and scarf. The trousers I made from taking apart an unsuccessful sewing project, plus extra fabric in the same colour tone. I am looking forward to a spicy meal.
I don't think I could possibly describe how hot it is today, hiding in the shade is the best possible idea. With that in mind we decided to visit the Napier Museum and take in a bit of culture. To keep the sun off my shoulders I am wearing a cardigan found at TKMaxx, an international range of necklaces from, India, China and England. The skirt I upcycled by making use of a pair of trousers from H&M (dark brown fabric) and a skirt from Thailand (tie dye fabric). Can't wait to get back to the air conditioned hotel.
Jet Lag is a distant memory, so it is time to hit the streets and see what India has to offer. I feel there will be plenty of shopping going on, but I need to pace myself and not go crazy just yet. A bright outfit is needed for such a bright day and starting from the top I have on a Dorothy Perkins top, Miss Selfridge cardigan and La Redoute sandals . The harem trousers I made out of a great wash and wear fabric which is a must for travelling.
It is so exciting, I am heading off to India in a couple of days and need to fine tune my packing to make sure everything is ready....especially the all important medicine kit. Today I am wearing a top, Top Shop Cardigan a skirt bought in Japan, 1980's vintage shoes and an amazing necklace found at Spitalfields Market.
