Monthly Favorites : March

Hey beautiful souls!!
Another month has come to an end. This week has been totally crazy for me. I've been out with my friends partying, sharing so many thoughts and chilling with those rascals somewhere in the mountains. We've been longing to spend some quality time. How we just wished our other 2 squad members could have joined us (Zangmo & Nawang, we missed you guys so bad). You just need a keen listener, a friend and someone who understands you to share all the thoughts that have been lingering all over your mind. And, when you find such a person it just leaves you feeling relieved. The month of March has come to an end with loads of memories, priceless moments and happy days. I believe that at the end of the day, you are responsible for your happiness as well as your sorrows. The end of every month just promises a better start of the next month for all of us. So, here I am with my March Favorites to end my month.

First favorite up for this month is my Leather Jacket from Zara. It has been my go-to piece for every outfit. It has got a bit of stud detailing which gives it the look of a biker jacket. I just need to carry my leather jacket and I'm ready to go out. It keeps me warm and cozy as well as adds that extra oomph factor to any outfit. A leather jacket is a must in your wardrobe because you can never go wrong with it.

Next up is my turtleneck top from H&M. Black is my favorite color and turtlenecks have been my love for this A/W'15 season. I love how it fits perfectly and is ribbed which makes it super-comfy. It can be paired with almost anything from distressed denims to skirts or flared pants etc. Whenever in doubt, wear black and turtlenecks.

My third favorite for this month are these lovely cat-eye sunglasses. I ordered it from Koovs (online shopping site). I've always been in love with Koovs. They have got the best stuff compared to any other site. These sunglasses feel so good when you wear them and they completely protect you from UV rays too.

I have been loving this Johnson's baby lotion a lot. When you apply it on your hands the previous night, it leaves your hands feeling baby soft the next morning. I basically use it to remove my whole face makeup. It wipes off the eye and lip makeup so easily in just one swipe. It is so gentle on your skin as it is meant for the babies and their super soft skin. And, it is totally free of chemicals too.

My last favorite for the month is Strawberry Body Mist from 'The Body Shop'. This body mist smells divine and is so long-lasting. It has got that fruity smell which obviously has got more of strawberries. It smells so pure and heavenly. I completely love the fragrance of this body mist.

This is all for March favorites. See you soon :)
Until next time...

DIY Choker

(This was supposed to be a weekend post but due to some technical problem it got late. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you guys still enjoy the post for the remaining few hours of the weekend *winks*)
Hi All!!
It's weekend already *sigh*
Weekend calls for some relaxation time, dayouts, stay overs, house parties, clubbing or just some alone time at home. Different people with different ideas to spend their kind of weekend. I know some of you out there must be whispering to yourself that it's always weekend for her *laughs out hard*. But, hey hey hey! even I get excited by those extra positive weekend vibes ;) Some of you must be out on short trips, partying or just lazying around in the house while some of you must be still wondering how to spend the weekend, right? I say, plan stuff, experience new things, try out different delicacies, go out shopping or just shop online (if you're a lazy ass like me) or try out new DIYs.

Yes, I've got a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) for this week. You can always DIY something that is not easily available in the market. Chokers are my new love. They are so in fashion these days. Chokers aren't going anywhere it seems. It just adds a charm to any simple outfit. Wear it alone with bare shoulders for high drama or layer with threads of gold chains to keep it cool. Chokers just add that extra oomph to any outfit. Chokers aren't easily available in the market, so I decided to make my own. I'm totally drooling over this trend and if so are you, then just keep on scrolling down to get your hands on one of these chokers.

DIY:
1. You need to get the material you like. I got mine from an embroidery shop. I got myself a black velvet cloth. You can get them in any style you like. These shops sell different kinds of designs, so you get a variety to choose from. And, the material that I got is just meant for kurtas and stuff. I got half a meter for mine.

2. You will need to get hooks or buttons to secure the choker at the back of your neck.

3. You just need to measure the diameter of your neck and get the hooks or buttons stitched. You can stitch it yourself or get it stitched like me by a tailor.

Voila! Now you have your own chokers to style with any outfit you like. I've got some other choker material but haven't got them stitched yet. Also, you can find tattoo choker online at Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal. I have got no photographs to share as I've ordered mine and it has not arrived yet.

Hope this DIY was helpful enough. I'll be posting more DIYs and stuff in the near future. If you wish to read any kind of post, feel free to message me on Facebook (Whimsical Closet) or DM me on Instagram (@whimsicalcloset) or mail me at (happysoul421@gmail.com). I'll be more than happy to write and post it on my blog :)

Have a happy week ahead ya'll.
Until next time...

Casual Hangout Day

00:58

Hola People :)
Hope you all are having a great weekend.
It's just that I've been around my friends for the past few weeks and we've been exploring places, trying out new cuisines and most important of all, spending quality time. Meeting your friends and spending time with them seems to be the perfect stress buster. Talking to your best friends makes you literally forget everything. My happy place has always been around my friends. I know after reading this they're going to mock at me but still I love them to the moon and back.

Today's post is about what I wore on a casual hangout kind of day with my friends. Friends are your soul, your life, your happy place as I said. No matter where you are, what you're doing, how you've been and stuff like that, your friends are always going to be there for you. They are always there for you when you fall down, when you soar high, when you are filled with joy or you're going through those break-up periods of your life. Yes, there are going to be ups & downs in life, relations, career or let it be friendship too but that doesn't mean that you should let go off things so easily. As long as there are stuff you want to be in your life, you need to hold onto it. So, I wore my knee-ripped jeans and paired it up with a turtle-neck top with floral detailing on it. I also carried my leather jacket because the evenings are still cold in Delhi. For footwear, I got these boots which are really high-heeled but are real comfy. And obviously, I had to carry my favorite sling bag to fit in all my stuff such as cards, lipsticks and money. I find this look perfect for a casual day-out with your friends or even if you're out on a picnic or a lunch date.

Outfit Details:
Turtle-neck Top: Thrifted
Denims: Forever 21
Shoes: Borrowed from a friend ;)
Sling Bag: Jabong (online shopping site)
Leather Jacket: Promod

Spend this weekend with your friends and tell them how special they are :)
Happy Weekend guys.
Until next time...

Monthly Favorites : February

Hello guys!!
I hope you all are in the best of your health and are doing great.
I'm so sorry for being inactive for the past 2 weeks. I've been out of town due to some college issues & I also had a function to attend. I've been dying to write and post so badly. I've been in Chandigarh for the past few days and it just feels so nice and refreshing to be back here every once in a while. Blogging is slowly & gradually becoming a part of my life. I've been enjoying writing, posting and sharing stuff with ya'll. I've noticed that I've become more observant to things. Lately, I have been jotting down all the things that I like throughout the month and have been keeping note of it. Anyway, I'm back with some of my February favorites. I'm enjoying this favorites thing a lot. It helps me keep an account of all the things that I like and dislike. I think everyone should try this once as it helps to remain more organized with your stuff and you'll also be able to keep good care of all the things that you own.

My first favorite up are these knee-ripped jeans. I'm in love with them. It's so comfy that I can live in them. I know jeans don't sound comfy but trust me on this one. They are high-waisted and are obviously black (my fav color). I bought it from Forever 21 (Citywalk-Saket, Delhi). F21 gives you a wide range of bottoms, you just need to find the perfect piece that fits you. I don't have a picture of my pair of jeans but they are similar to these one.

I bought this nail paint just a few days ago but ever since I applied it, I've been loving it. It's the perfect maroon any girl can wish for. It's a bit light maroon in just one coat, so, you need to apply 2 coats to get that maroon it promises. It's the brand Faces and it comes in the shade 'marooned-421'. It doesn't wear off soon and if you apply a top coat, you're good to go for atleast a week.

Talking about favorites, I had to mention my knee-high boots. I thrifted them last October and I'm so happy I got my hands on them. You can team them up with almost anything. A pair of black, white, blue or any jeans you like, midi dress, LBD or any other dress you'd like to pair it up with.

Ever since 'Pillowtalk' came out, I've been drooling over this song. How can someone be so perfect?? And, I'm saying this for Gigi Hadid and not for Zayn Malik. I love that lady to the moon and back. Yes, I also love the song and it's been on my playlist since day one. It's such a soothing song and fills you with joy. Do listen to it if you still haven't.

Lastly, I'm going to talk about a dupe for my Chambor Velvette Touch Lip Liner Pencil. I was searching for a cheaper lip liner in the market and then, I came across this Swiss Beauty Glimmer Lip Liner. It's in the shade red and I must say, it's a great alternate. I just used it once until now and so far, I love it. It stays on the whole day and is super amazing.

This is all for my February favorites. I hope you all like it.
Until next time.

Monthly Favorites : January

11:21

Did ya'll people found your reason to smile??
Anyway, a very saccharine Hellllllooooo to all you guys reading this :)
Thankyou so much for taking out your precious time and coming back to Happy Soul. It means a lot to me.

As last time, I seriously had no clue what to blog about even this week. But then, there are tons of things to do and feel good about. People do find happiness even in the minute things that life bestows upon them. This time I decided to do a January favorites post. I know that i am a little late for this favorites stuff but better late than never. Right?

I have been loving my Chambor Velvette Touch Lip Liner pencil in the shade 228. It's the perfect red any girl can ask for. Basically, its a lip liner but I use it as a full lip filler. Its so smooth and glides as soon as it touches the lips. It doesn't wear off and stays on the whole day long. I swear by it and as they say, when in doubt, wear red.

Speaking of favorites, how can I forget to mention my black sweater. Its the perfect turtle-neck and goes with everything. Whenever I can't find what to match my stuff with, I wear my black sweater (I always wear it and tbh, I got no clothes man!!) Its a thrift find and I totally love it :)

Relaxing and sipping on some coffee is liked by everyone but sipping on some green tea is my kind of thing. I have been loving this green tea from China (XI HU LONG JING) Its not similar to the other Indian brands in taste and has got a leafy texture. I believe it completely detoxifies my body and makes me feel cleansed ;)

I am completely in love with my sling bag from Jabong (online shopping site). Its the perfect black bag with some python skin detailing in between. And, my favorite part is that it replicates the Chanel Boy Bag. Yes Yes, I know Chanel is just too much to ask for but hey it makes me happy to think this way. So YaY! !

And to finish off I'm adding my favorite snack. Snack favorites do change every once in a while but Piknik has been my all time favorite. Since childhood times, I've been snacking on them and to this date, I love them.
