Sneaker loving

Accessories, Clothes, Fashion - Anupriya kapur - March 10, 2017

I have never paid much attention to fashion trends. But like most women I struggle with I-have-nothing-to-wear-syndrome and I-don’t-know-what-to-wear-it-with syndrome. But I guess as you age, some things take priority over others. So for me now comfort comes first. Even though I still love wearing heels, I avoid wearing them to places where I know I have to stand for long hours or if I have to be on the move. Also, I don’t prefer to wear heels post a long workout or run. Thankfully, gone are the days when sneakers were only meant for gyms. You can style them the way you want to. So with my adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged I tried creating a few looks. What helps is that they are grey so they go well with most colors. Continue Reading

A forgotten affair

Accessories, Clothes, Fashion, For the soul - Anupriya kapur - February 8, 2017

How often do we take the city we live in for granted? Years pass by and the only place we usually visit are the nearest cafes and pubs. But when we travel, we take out time for places that aren’t even remotely worth visiting. I have started to believe that it’s almost criminal to not to see the heritage your own city has to offer.

My visits to monuments of Delhi might have started of as I wanted good pictures of me in a saree (you can read my previous articles here and here). But it’s slowly converted to love for Delhi and how beautiful it is.

Colors and chaos

Accessories, Fashion, For the soul - Anupriya kapur - October 25, 2016

I used to love wearing sarees and cottons were always my fav but somewhere along the way I stopped making the effort. When I wrote about 100 Day Saree pact (read here), I realised how much I miss wearing them. Also, when we did the shoot for that article at Old Fort in Delhi, I realised how much I’m missing out on what Delhi has to offer. So I couldn’t resist when Arun, who’s passionate about photography and Delhi’s monuments, suggested that we go to Chandni Chowk.

A bit of royalty

We shot at the recently renovated Haveli Dharampura, Nau Ghar, in crowded lanes and in front of all the colorful doors. Haveli Dharampura is beautiful and sanitised, where we were served sanitised version of Paranthe waali gali deep fried paranthas, while rest of Chandni Chowk is dirty, very dirty.

When we couldn’t locate the Haveli, a resident walked with us to show us the way. When he overheard me crib about how dirty the lanes are, he poignantly said, “yahi asli dilli hai”.

Intricate work at so many entrances

We were offered a hearty portion of kheer by a pandit when we stopped to click a pic near a temple. And the shopkeepers of a small zari shop, emptied it for us so that we could get a good clean shot. The place left me disturbed yet very warm despite all the chaos, commotion and utter madness and of course we managed to get some very good shots.
