Bride Series 5: Shoe Shopping...

Ok guys today after a long time I am in this mad frenzy of posting. This used to happen the most last year in June/July. Seems like am into celebrating a lil blog anniversary.

Anyways have been delaying this little bride update, the other day Soma and me, we went shoe shopping. We went to New Market. In college I used to frequent this shop in the newer part of New Market, the name I have forgotten. Anyways after 10 years or so my memory was a little rusty and I just wanted to check out the stuff there. It has been ages since I last bought shoes from New Market.

Hence the venture. Omg. That part of New Market has about 10/15 shoe shops all in a row and they fight like mad to attract customers. I do not even remember these other shops but they were all stuffed with shoes.

We had a gala time. Finally we went to this tiny shop manned by two teenage boys. After much haggling picked up the following shoes. But the boys have become my friends for life and promised me discounts forever. I still need to pick up one more pair of evening shoe (I am looking for a silver something which eluded me in this shopping spree) and also a pair of slippers. Since I could not pick up black shoes (black is a taboo colour in Indian trouseau) it was getting rather difficult since I mostly grativate towards anything black.

Some points I had to keep in mind while picking up the shoes:

• Need sandals/slip ons to wear with the saris;
• The slippers had to be in gold shades since the sarees are all heavy ones with zari work;
• NO BLACK;
• Need heels cos Indranil is 6 to my 5.1-- without heels I would look ridiculous beside him.

This one is my favourite, though this is wildly inappropriate, but what the hell, for once the red shoe looked better that its black version....

Well I could not wear heels all the time, this one is a comfort wear....

Little birdie...

Is'nt the little birdie in my blog header really cute? Last Saturday after somehow enduring office, Soma, Nisha and me, we had gone out in search of puchka. We walked to Basantidebi College, well almost walked, dragging a reluctant Soma along the way. Buro was not their but his nephew was there. Had puchka. In that lane there is this boutique called Rinku's, I have seen it forever but never ventured inside. That dat we went in, they have some really nice clothe evening bags, found this cute little key bag. Could not resist it. This purchase so reminds me of our (Anubha and me) mad shopping in Dilli Haat, People's Tree (though here Anubha used to go berserk, I could never afford their stuff), Kriti exhibitions, Khadi....the list goes on.
