On a hot summer day...

Oh god, Delhi temperatures seem to be sky rocketing by the minute and to think of going out during the day is just dreadful. But of course, all of you have busy schedules be it running to pick your kids from school, socializing, heading for meetings or whatever. What does one do to dress up in this heat?! On most occasions, I just feel like putting on a long cotton Pakistani style kurta paired with tights, but of course that can’t possibly work all the time.

Anyways, so the deal is it’s hot and we have to deal with it. Placing ourselves under house arrest till 7pm is not a solution and dressing like a garbage bag isn't either. So I figured why not have fun with what we wear despite the soaring temperatures. Summer is all about bright colours and cheerful prints even if it’s so hot you could melt. Here’s what I’m feeling to cheer me up from all this heat.

2.       Dolce & Gabbana Printed Silk-Twill Top – The duo’s SS 13 collection was just so cheerful and SO Italian.One glance at this top and I feel like jet setting to Sicily and stay there forever.

Just perfect for one of those days  when you’re sulking about the weather and need something to brighten your day. Click here to purchase.
