Another Day

Photography : Debjyoti Das | thatPhotographerwithHeadphones

Another day. In a land faraway. All alone. It's difficult for her to go to sleep. Light sleeper she is. Lying on the bed for hours, thinking, for she doesn't have no control over her mind. Tomorrow bothers her. Tomorrow excites her. Keeps her up, this emotional flurry, it won't let her sleep. Not scared of the dark anymore, she stares into the nothingness after the lights go out. Stares and stares while her mind tries to picture things out of the black. Wondering, fearing, dreaming. Not once she could recollect the moment she eventually dozed off to sleep. Wakes up with messy hair, and spends another hour in bed, curled up in a corner, trying to go back to sleep or maybe calm the things on her mind, that have already started to take over like black clouds. A confusion surrounds. This chaos. In mind. In life. Things are perfect. Maybe they just seem to be perfect. Daily chores to be taken care of. People to take care of, the loved ones. Trying hard to strike a balance. A balance between both the worlds, a balance of both modern and traditional ways. In the middle of the run, she stops, stops to gaze into the haze. She seems to be waiting. There is this endless wait, wait for something real, wait for the real happiness maybe? The wait seems to be driving her delirious. But the wait is worth it. It has to be. What is she waiting for? Do you know? Well, you wouldn't for she herself doesn't have any clue. A lot has to be done, a long way to go, because it's just another day.

But It's Alright

Westside is one of the stores that I visit now and then, and I love how they have been trying to keep up with the latest trends. I was rather surprised the first time I spotted an international print. (It was quite long back, not very clear on what the product was) And since then they have only improvised in terms of introducing new styles and materials and prints. And who wouldn't want to indulge in such a perfect shopping experience where you find some of fine trendy numbers without spending big bucks. So yeah, the price factor at Westside, very affordable and reasonable, is one of the reason I do take a walk in the store maybe once in a month. And guess what! They have launched two new in house brands, one range satisfying the stylish needs of the women belonging to the curvy clan, and the other one gives you pretty lingerie made with the best of the materials that are very moderately priced. I was invited to the store to take a look at the collection, and no disappointments ladies, no disappointments.

Westside's new range of funky, curvy women's wear, "Sassy Soda" that caters to young curvy women who wish to wear tres-mode outfits. Sassy Soda has some beautiful graphic prints, pretty polkas, florals in some of the prettiest color combinations, and some staples like basic vests, denim shirts, denim shorts etc. Sassy Soda let's you flaunt every curve you've got. Fun prints, cool silhouettes, colours that pop and all the latest trends in plus-size that leaves the curvy lot with no complaints, as sometimes it does get a little difficult to find trendy things in a various sizes.

Take a look at the Sassy Soda collection. 

You know one of those days, when you are feeling blue? Well, you know what helps? For me, lounging around in my prettiest lingerie set with some good food and music works the best! You don't need no one when you have these! Haha. ^.^
So here is a solution to finding some elegant pieces without having to cry the next day about the empty wallet. "WunderLove" has some of the beautiful colors and prints. And no cheating with the fabric as well, yes! WunderLove, Westside's first in-house stylish and affordable lingerie brand is here, that fits perfectly with every mood and wardrobe piece. They also have a wide range of daily Essentials comprising of everyday must-haves. Gorgeous sets that let you explore your fun, playful side. I really had to try my best to control this unruly urge of picking everything from the tempting collection full of alluring and elegant separates, pants with adorable prints and much more.

Take a look at the WunderLove collection. 

Do visit the nearest Westside to see these gorgeous new brands. :)

Her Story

She finds her space only at her home where she truly belongs. There's been an incident which has never been told. She wakes up every morning with messy hair which she loves, she steps out and there's reality she faces daily. She hates crowd, people, them ogling at her. She wears a bra and it shows, so what? She want to go away with a lover and never return. How she wishes she could be that 4 year old again who is pampered daily, is the center of attraction and dance with someone who feels the same way she does. Travel they say is the only thing you buy which makes you richer, what about happiness? How would she stop doubting everything when she has been lied to constantly and betrayed. She is the kind of person who loves to share and care but is taken for granted, always. Her work and family is the only thing that's dear to her heart. She is motivated to reach greater heights and make a mark for herself and not die a nobody. Screw weekends, She loves getting high even on weekdays. No boring 9:00-6:00PM job, she likes to be free.
And as I complete this story, she stands alone, gazing at how beautiful these clouds are. Every morning they have a different story to tell unlike hers.
