A total U turn from my usual posts featuring chunky and ornate earrings. You can catch me wearing something like this on an usual day as this is more REAL me. Well, I don't own these earrings, this is a gift to my darlings B and S. I picked this cute black flamingo earring from MAX.  It's light weight and something totally wearable.

 

I went ahead an googled  picture of a flamingo. See, it's legs?Exact ditto as that of the black Flamingo's legs. 

 

Little research and look what I found 

"Flamingos often stand on one leg, the other tucked beneath the body. The reason for this behavior is not fully understood. Some suggest that the flamingo, like some other animals, has the ability to have half of its body go into a state of sleep, and when one side is rested, the flamingo will swap legs and then let the other half sleep, but this has not been proven.Recent research has indicated that standing on one leg may allow the birds to conserve more body heat, given that they spend a significant amount of time wading in cold water. As well as standing in the water, flamingos may stamp their webbed feet in the mud to stir up food from the bottom." -Source:Wiki

 I  even  bought this cute elephant charm for B. I adore MAX accessory line but, little pricey I guess as I can get almost similar stuff and reduced price in other shops.

Going BOLD!!!

Happy new year people :) . While the whole world celebrated new year in style, I was fast asleep on my comfy bed, then I visited my extended family on 1st. Not a regal way to celebrate New year huh?!!.
I went to MAX retail on Sunday (1/1/2012) with my brother, who had some last minute shopping to be done before the start of his new semester. All the while we were in the shop I was ogling a wide belt (Retail price: INR 500) which was a must have item in my wish list and some pretty floral shrugs too well, I nibbled my the shopping bud and promised myself that I would start saving Money.


Swarnali from  Dreams n Drama  requested me to do a post with a pic of moi wearing an earring. I am camera shy but, being new year I thought "Why not?". Here is my vain attempt:

This earring of mine is nearly 3 years old, bought it back in 2009 for my Btech graduation party. The earring was so heavy that I couldn't fathom the idea of wearing em quite often as I should be. Recently when I got a chance to flaunt them, I did and I am so glad with the outcome. When I am wearing a heavy earring like that, I prefer to keep my neck bare much to my mom's dismay. 


On a random note, I can't keep my mind off these beauties :Multi-strand statement necklaces. Sigh!!! wish I haven't had shopping constrains:(.

Introducing Malvika and her FAB earrings

Introducing Malvika Manoj who was previously featured here and here. Stylish person she is, she owns a small but enviable collection of earrings. During our usual office communicator chat, she mentioned on how she fell in love with the earrings the moment she saw em in MAX store. "You will for sure like em" she added. I immediately asked her to send me the pics and here they are.


We have a similar yet contrasting taste as far as earrings are concerned . Mostly she prefers her No-fuzz minimalistic style and I am more of a chunky-funky type. The difference in choice of "To wear" types never manages to make us disagree on the earring as a separate entity. Whether it look good on us is a different thing but, finally we end up concluding the same thing. 

The above one is a daily wear, no fuzz type and can be worn with a simple kuta-jeans or western wear. 

More of my type, beads and black. What not to love. Now, the structure of earring is different and wearing em can be tricky. The above earrings doesn't suit everyone. If you have the right pinne shape to boast of well, you don't have to worry.... just wear and let the pair do the talking.
