My Personal Style Diary & Everyday Looks
Not just fashion — this is a peek into how I dress for life, from Bapu Bazaar runs to traveling the world. Get a look at my style files and what makes an outfit feel 'exclusively me'.
A get-ready-with-me video showing a typical museum-hopping outfit. I've paired a bold magenta top with wide-leg trousers and an olive green faux leather blazer for a look that's both stylish and comfortable for walking around all day.
Posing with some classical statues at the museum. My outfit, with its structured blazer and relaxed pants, feels right at home among the art.
Another shot from the museum, showing how the colors of my outfit pop against the neutral gallery walls. Personal style is about creating your own art.
Standing in front of ancient mosaics, my modern outfit creates a fun contrast. This is what I love about style, it's a conversation with your surroundings.
A travel fit from London, featuring a comfortable brown co-ord set. When I travel, I prioritize pieces that are easy to wear but still look put-together.
A candid street style moment in London. A simple black tee, white pants, and a pop of red in the bag is my go-to formula for a cool, effortless city look.
Exploring the beautiful art and architecture of Baku. I'm wearing a comfortable and flowy dress from Cord, my favorite companion for travel.
Waiting for the bus in Baku. My travel style is all about being ready for anything, and this embroidered dress is both beautiful and practical.

About My Personal Style Diary
You'll notice a lot of layering and mixing in my photos, whether I'm navigating Dilli ki sardi or museum-hopping in London. It’s rarely about buying new—it’s about remixing existing pieces to create a silhouette that feels authentic, comfortable, and exclusively yours.
My NIFT foundation taught me technical garment construction, but my day-to-day style is pure 'jugaad' magic. I don't believe in just following trends. Whether it's pairing a vintage jacket with everyday basics or giving an old outfit a fresh life, my goal is to show you that style is about personality, not a price tag.
Why I Love This Approach
- Real-World Styling: I live in Delhi, so I know how to make outfits work for our climate and lifestyle. No stiff, impractical looks.
- Sustainable Choices: I'm a big fan of shopping from homegrown Indian brands and reimagining pieces I've had for years.
- Color & Confidence: If you scroll through, you’ll see me playing with bold colors and unexpected patterns. If a pop of orange or a floral jacket makes you feel like yourself, wear it.
Can We Do This For Your Wardrobe?
Absolutely. If you look at your closet and feel like you have nothing to wear, you're not alone. During my in-home closet audits or virtual consultations, we go through exactly this process. We identify your 'style DNA', sort what you own, and find new ways to style existing clothes. It's not about being a fashionista; it's about making your wardrobe work for you, every single day.
