A few days ago, a dear friend who was visiting London called me from Punjab Sweet House in Mumbai. She kindly offered to bring me some Mithai (fully aware of my sweet tooth) and insisted that I choose something. I knew what I wanted but couldn’t remember the name - just what the mithai looked like. So I said, “can you bring me some of that ombré mithai ?” She then proceeded to ask me what ombré was in Hindi and we had a good old laugh on the phone. The mithai I was after was Milk Cake, also known as ‘Palang Tor’ in Punjabi. Is that because if you eat too much of it the weight gain may result in you breaking a bed? Thank you S for my ombré mithai - this ombré saree is for you. Hope you like it! ————————————————— #ishasverdict #fashionaddict #fashionblogger #indianoutfit #saree #sareemojo #sareelovers #ethnic #chinese #brocade #brocadeblouse #whatiwore #londonfashionblogger #fortyplusstyle #indianwedding #ilovesarees #mystyle #indianstylist #instafashion #indianfashionblogger #indianclothes #photooftheday #ombre #chinesefashion #blacksaree #jewellery #statementpiece #mylife #mithai

What’s one of the easiest ways to update an old saree? Wear it with some new jewellery! This saree is my mother’s (we share our sarees and I grab some of hers every time I visit) and is probably at least 35 years old. I have always loved this saree of hers and I especially wanted to use it to highlight the beauty of @heritagejewellerybyridhi jewellery in this collaboration. I adore how it looked together and what I love even more is that this jewellery would look equally great with a white shirt and jeans. I think the moment for Indian inspired jewellery with everything you wear is now! #ishasverdict #fashionblogger #aboutalook #saree #sareeblogger #sareemojo #sareelovers #sareefashion #indianoutfit #indianstylist #fortyplusstyle #londonfashionblogger #mystyle #ethnic #indianwedding #jewellery #jewellerylover #indianjewellery #indianjewelleryuk #statementnecklace #indianethnicwear #jewelleryaddict #ethnicjewellery #indianfashionblogger #heritagejewellery #instalove #heritagejewellerybyridhi

A kind soul gifted me a huge and lovely box of @fortnums chocolates. The flavours are amazing and the temptation is real! Heres’s me fighting the chocolate monster 👿 #ishasverdict #fashionaddict #styleblogger #chocolate #temptation #boxofchocolates #homesweethome #whatido #homedecor #instalove #photooftheday #eating #foodie #foodlover #sweetooth #styleinspo #livingroomdecor #relaxing #chocolateoverload #mystyle #mylife #londonblogger #fortyplusstyle #household

My parents went to Russia on vacation and look what I got! This beautiful bright floral scarf just in time for winter. I put it on and then I had a moment of styling genius - swipe to see the brooch that I fastened my new scarf with. Also, see my stories to see what else I got from Russia. Thanks Mom and Dad - you shouldn’t have (no no I don’t really mean that..). 🇷🇺

You know a purchase was worthy when you end up wearing it very often in the few weeks right after the acquisition. This floral blue tunic dress from @zara fulfils so many criteria - pleasing to the eye, easy to wear and most importantly it went with a jacket already in my closet. 💋 #ishasverdict #fashionaddict #fashionblogger #londonfashionblogger #fortyplusstyle #zaradress #chic #comfortable #dressoftheday #whatiwore #boots #ootd #aboutalook #pleateddress #instafashion #mystyle #streetstyleluxe #dresses #winterfashion #weekendvibes #tights #floraldress #everyday #ootdfashion #styleinspo #fashionfiles #indianstylist #stylist

My husband is a whisky collector and this corner is my tribute to all things Japanese, including whiskey (I couldn’t tell good whisky from dish water😂). I love the little wooden Japanese doll, my Japanese incense holder and the little bamboo steamer which may not be Japanese but it has a porcelain dim sum in it (bought in Singapore) and I adore it so I have added it to my exhibit. #ishasverdict #interiorstyling #styleblogger #interiors #whisky #whiskey #japanesewhisky #dimsum #japanesedoll #interiordesign #homedecor #myhome #housedecor #interiorsblog #mystyle #londonhome #decorating #incenseburner #steamer #homesweethome #homeinspiration #paintings #whiskeylife #artwork #homedeco #mylife #interiorinspiration

What makes a great casual outfit? Comfort, practicality and an underlying style element pulling it all together. Casual outfit of last weekend - the wide leg trousers are super comfortable and on sale at @uniqlo_uk at the moment. #ishasverdict #fashionblogger #fashionista #ootd #whatiwore #aboutalook #widelegtrousers #whitetshirt #overforty #fortyplusstyle #sneakers #mystyle #stylist #styled #handbagaddict #mylife #sneakerhead #comfortableshoes #outfitinspiration #londonfashionblogger #londonblogger #casualstyle #handbag #weekendvibes #outandabout #indianblogger

This beautiful jewellery set by @heritagejewellerybyridhi works perfectly with this festive saree from my wedding trousseau 18 years ago, just as it did with my linen shirt and jeans in a previous post. The beauty of timeless jewellery and sarees is that they never age; even when the wearer clearly does. Please swipe to see the details of this set. Thanks for collaborating on this post @heritagejewellerybyridhi - I love your jewellery that seems to work with everything in my closet. 💋 #ishasverdict #indianstylist #saree #sareemojo #sareedraping #sari #indianwedding #indianjewelry #statementnecklace #indianclothing #sareelovers #sareeinspiration #ootdfashion #punjabiwedding #jewellerylover #ethnicjewellery #ethnicwear #indianoutfit #traditionalsaree #weddingsaree #whatiwore #festivaloutfit #indianethnicwear #londonfashionblogger #photooftheday #mystyle #sareefashion #jewelrydesign #heritagejewellery

My lovely walnut study desk that hubby bought before we were married at a work auction. Are you a desk kind of person? I sure am and I always get my best work done when I am sitting on my desk, in my work space, surrounded by all the tools I may need. Sitting on a sofa or a bed usually makes me think of food or sleep 😂 but never work. #ishasverdict #interiordesign #interiors #homeofficedecor #study #studydesk #officedesk #eameschair #painting #revatisharmasingh #homeoffice #interiorstyling #interiorsaddict #myhome #motivation #mystyle #walnutdesk #chairs #artwork #instalove #lamps #homedecor #homesweethome #stylishinteriors #londonhome #workoutmotivation #housedecor #interiorstyle

What do we want from our jewellery? I want mine to please my senses when I wear it, perhaps elicit some compliments from well wishers but mostly I want it to work with much of my wardrobe. I want to be able to wear it with both ethnic and western clothes and not end up just saving it for a special occasion. I love @heritagejewellerybyridhi because it allows me to do just that. I love this bold choker and earrings - in my head I see repeat wear happening all the time. 💋 #ishasverdict #fashionblogger #fashionaddict #jewellery #jewelry #whatiwore #mystyle #stylist #heritagejewellerybyridhi #londonfashionblogger #indianfashionblogger #indianwedding #indianjewellery #ethnicjewellery #statementnecklace #aboutalook #indianstylist #styleinspo #earringsoftheday #chic #jewellerylover #ootd #fblogger #shirt #fortyplusstyle #fortyandfabulous

This Sunday gone, the glorious weather was a bitter sweet reminder of the approaching winter so I only thought it fit to wear white linen. I bought this beaded necklace in Marrakesh and I always end up pairing it with white. Bye bye white linen - only chance of seeing you in my house in the next few months will be on my dining table! 😂 #ishasverdict #fashionista #fashionaddict #whatiwore #necklace #jewelry #jewellery #aboutalook #statementnecklace #instalove #fashionstyle #indianfashionblogger #londonfashionblogger #mystyle #ethnicjewellery #chic #linendress #whitedress #ootd #stylist #mylife #londonblogger #fashionoverforty #morocco #jewellerylover #rings

I bought these beautiful pictures at the Affordable Art Fair @affordableartfairuk many many years ago. The artist had recently returned from a trip to India and was so inspired by the landscape that she incorporated sand and egg shells into her medium to capture the dusty rural landscape she remembered and loved. I loved these then and I still love them now. That is what I call a successful art purchase 😍 #ishasverdict #interiorstyling #art #artistsoninstagram #turbans #homeart #interiors #mystyle #myhome #wallart #interiorsaddict #interiordecorating #housedecor #homesweethome #artwork #whatibought #londonblogger #interiorinspiration #interiorsblogger #india #indianart #artislife #ethnicart #brickslips #houseproud #homedecor

What makes for a great Monday? #asmileaday with like-minded people for sure. Insta has been great for meeting and bonding with like minded people. @adozeofsimplicity is one such lovely lady whose aesthetic and style philosophy is one that I deeply admire and so it gives me great pleasure in doing #sareemojo with her. We both love the endless styling possibilities presented by the lovely saree. Be it traditional or modern - the distinct styling of each individual wearer never ceases to amaze. In the spirit of making the saree your own, join us both in showcasing your personal saree style with #sareemojo. Use the #sareemojo to be featured! @adozeofsimplicity is wearing her saree with a camouflage top and boots and I am wearing mine with a faux leather top. What are you wearing yours with? #ishasverdict #fashionblogger #saree #sareedraping #sareelovers #mystyle #indianoutfit #sari #indianclothing #sareeaddict #styleinspo #howiworeit #desi #sareestyle #ethnicwear #instalove #ootdindia #londonfashionblogger #indianfashionblogger #mylife #drapedsaree #fauxleather #indianethnicwear #sareeblouseinspiration

I have always had s soft spot for these kind of ‘blank canvas’ maxi dresses. They can be worn year around and with plenty of layers underneath when it gets cold. My favourite part is pairing them with statement jewellery and accessories that stand out against the neutrality of the dress. I bought this statement beaded necklace from Khan Market in Delhi 3 years and it is one my top ‘what will I wear it with?’ but then works with so many purchases. It’s vibrant, eye catching and cost next to nothing - what’s there not to love! #ishasverdict #fashionaddict #fashionblogger #stylist #statementnecklace #statementjewelry #londonfashionblogger #aboutalook #whatiwore #dressoftheday #dressedup #workdress #chic #instafashion #ootd #overforty #massimodutti #styleinspo #mylife #fblogger #jewellery #jewellerylover
