Stylish Things: Weekend Edition
June 29, 2011 | Filed under Eatn, Fashion, Indian, Lifestylen, Stylish Things, jewelry 
On Friday after work I went to get my nails done and I really wanted to try white nail polish. But there was a wait at the salon {and I am very impatient} so I stopped over at CVS and bought Essie-Blanc and did my nails myself. I think the last time I did my own nails was when I was a teenager! I managed to get the job done but there is definitely room for improvement.
On Saturday morning my sister and her fiance joined us for Ariyana's first Ballet recital. Afterwards we all enjoyed brunch at Gaslight, our favorite brunch spot in the South End.
On Saturday afternoon, before meeting our friends for dinner at Hamersley's Bistro, I had the opportunity to meet the talented and lovely New York based fashion designer Jennifer Chun at the Louis Boston Exposure event. I adore Jennifer's collection and I left with this calligraphy printed silk georgette dress from her 2011 Fall and Winter Collection.
By the time Sunday arrived I was exhausted from our busy weekend. So I spent much of the day lounging in my pajamas and spending quality time with family. I also baked my mom's spinach-mushroom-onion quiche for lunch {Stay tuned later this week for the quick and easy recipe}.
I ended the weekend by packing my {and Ariyana's} bangles, earrings, and bindi's, for my sister and her fiance's engagement party and a family wedding we are attending next week.

What a beautiful collection of bangles! I love the Essie polish too. x
Sounds like a good weekend to me - good job on the polish! Last time I tried a white nail polish it looked like 'white out' lol! Yours looks like it has a sheen to it.
That photo of your and Ariyana's feet is so cute!
Sounds like a pretty perfect weekend. I love your sparkly shoes and that bangle collection is pretty enviable!
PS. Nothing better than a lazy Sunday, spent in your pjs.
Sounds like a fabulous weekend - hope Ariyana's recital went well and oh how I love the print on your new dress (btw also got the Thakoon for Target ikat dress - love it!)

I love busy weekends... post pics of the recital! I have gotten better at painting nails because of my daughters but I very rarely attempt my own, good for you! xo
Sounds like a great weekend. Have fun at the wedding! :)
P.S. Love the white polish!!1

How did you like the white polish? I been debating to get it too, but just not sure. I got Figi the other day and that's pretty white but has a little pink.
So glad I just found your blog! I am heading to Boston for the 4th, and I see you've mentioned Gaslight and Hammersley Bistro! Heard great things about both! Love the pics...esp of your bangles!
Love that top picture... white nails + purple & orange background- love it!
Sounds like such a fun weekend, and I look forward to that recipe!
Color me jealous of you and the little lady's bangle collection!
Never tried white nail polish. Something to try next ime I have a mani-pedi.
Both of the ballet flats are adorable :)
White nail polish actually looks good! I might try it though I'm on a coral spree now.
I adore the diary style post :-)
White nails = gorgeous. A really cute shot of you and Ariyana in your flats.

Such a pleasure seeing you last weekend! I am glad you bought that Jennifer Chun dress, otherwise I would have had to buy it myself;) I loved the white polish you were sporting too, very fresh for summer. Chanel's new fall colors just came out, can't wait to get them on my nails!
that bangle collection is amazing!
You have been really busy. I love how you combine your social life, your elegant dresses with the spinach pies!! Beautiful pics, ADORE the bracelets & earings!
The white nails look great, your quiche looks totally delish! Can't wait for our new Jennifer Chun fall wares to arrive :)
have a great 4th!!

Hi! Just stumbled upon your blog -- through a comment on Smitten Kitchen's site, actually -- and found this photograph. What a fun blog! Is there *any* chance you know where those earrings came from, in your picture above? The large antique gold hoops with the tiny "ghugraa" bells that line the arc? I am in love with those, and have been searching desperately for a pair like that! Thanks for your writing, it's wonderful to read! - Seema
