Mumbai Happenings: SARITA HANDA is finally here !!

 This is a feel good space! You walk in and immediately you forget about the chaos,noise and clutter of Mumbai. The store has been so tastefully put together that you immediately feel a part of the lifestyle that is on offer.Every nook and corner is just so tempting and inviting. 

The store is packed with color and texture and lots of chevron pattern(my favorite kind of pattern).There are scrumptious embroideries both hand done and machine guided.Navy blue and white with punches of coral in both color and design.There's pastels,ikat prints and shaded options on offer too all of which has been seamlessly combined with their line of furniture and accessories.From bags to cocktail napkins,cushion covers,duvet covers,lamp shades,table linen and lots of fabrics,there is something for everyone.

Interestingly there are also some great 

lighting options to be found here.

love these dogs in wood and metal!

Have fun exploring the new store - i know I did !!

MUMBAI HAPPENINGS - SCOT SCHUMAN in CONVERSATION

Scot Schuman is in Mumbai. Elle India and Bungalow 8 hosted an event last night for bloggers to come in and listen to and chat with the creator of the infamous blog The Sartorialist. An interesting event with answers that were honest, insightful and candid.

Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum

I finally made it to the Bhau Daji Lad Museum. 

Thomas Heatherwick (award winning designer,architect,engineer) was in Mumbai to give a talk as part of this years India Design Forum 2013.

It's really quite beautiful and a hidden treasure of Mumbai. 

Originally bult as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Bombay. It is Mumbai’s oldest museum and the third oldest in the country.

While the space is brilliant,the content on display

 is a little un inspired and looks tired,

the poor lighting dos'nt help either. 

I would definitely go have a look, as the grounds are nice and 

you do get a sense of peace and quiet amidst the bustle of mumbai.Would be nice if they had a good cafe!

I hear they host a lot of great exhibitions through the year, so i'll definitely be going back for another visit.
