If you want to add colour to my boring life which is turning shades greyer with every passing second, then please add some colour to your wardrobe. I’m quite sick of seeing blues, whites blacks and tans. Buy some colourful bangles and bring some joy to my pathetic life. No, I have nothing to do with bangle manufacturers, I’m just having a bad day.
MINIMALIST
Plastic bangles
Rs 20 for 12
These little rings of colourful plastic joy. They are cheap and you can wear them with just about anything. Pick up two or three sets and wear them together to make a rainbow appear on Pune’s streets
GO BETWEEN
Wooden bangles
Rs 30 for 4
These bangles are really pretty. They’re available in single pieces for Rs 10 each. However, if you’re up for a bargain, then buy them in colourful bunches of four each. They come in an oblong shaped pattern too which costs a bit more
SPLURGE
Thick acrylic bangles
Rs 30 each
I love these new entrants on the bangle market. They look like plastic but aren’t. They are called acrylic but definitely aren’t. They come in really nice shades and are broad and pretty

Nail it

Kurti craze
This cotton kurti has puffed sleeves with trimmings of lace and embroidery. Wear it with a matching pink churidar or team it with jeans. Be careful though, splashes of mud could ruin it.

Much hoopla
I found the mother of all hoops in orange and lime green. With a four inch diameter, these earrings just about squeeze between my ears and shoulders. The store has a 20 per cent sale on!

Eye say
“Riveel, how shady is that,”was my first reaction. But when mixed with a little water and then applied one’s eyes, this eye shadow STAYS. A lovely dark silver, purple and bright blue are some of the colours that caught my eye
