Rome in a Day

On my last visit to Rome, I just had few hours to roam in the city. Hence with a few friends, I visited The Colosseum and few other attractions, this very confused kinda day when it suddenly becomes gloomy, suddenly becomes sunny and suddenly it starts to rain. Nevertheless visiting Rome once again has made me fallen into love with the rich architecture of the city all over again. I am sure my pictures are not doing the right justice to the beauty of the city. However I am also sure it is one place you need to visit once, if you like vintage architecture. Also went into one of the many churches in the city and it was so calming and peaceful. Not to mention for a foodie like me the Pizzas and the Pastas are out of the world truly delicious. Hope you liked this quick travel post.
Until next time...keep it stylish...keep it functional.

The Great Wall

Happy Monday !!

Next up on blog is a travel post and as the title suggests it is none other than one of the seven wonders of the world The Great Wall of China. This wonder needs no introduction as we all know it is one of the longest walls built along the northern borders of China in bits and pieces way back in the 7th century Bc. Later those walls was joined together to be more stronger and bigger and collectively now it is known as The great Wall of China.

Let's not go too deep into history and just take a moment to appreciate this wonder. A group of friends and I went to the Mutianyu section of the Wall which is almost an hours drive from the Beijing International Airport. Upon reaching Mutianyu there were cable cars to take us up in the hills to the wall. I must tell you the ride was a breathtaking one. Once we reached the hills there was a stair of like 10 to 12 steps that leads you to the wall. From that point the real experience begun. As we walked up the stairs, we were standing on the Wall that I had been wanting to visit from a very long time and finally this was the time that I made it. I couldn't believe how in those days these people had managed to built a wall as huge and as concrete as this up in the hills. I mean just compare today's age and technology to that era when they had manually stood this wonder up. Simply unbelievable.
We had decided to walk towards our left through the watch towers to one of the highest points covering almost a kilometer. As you may see in the pictures this walk to and fro was definitely an adventurous one and a Walk to Remember for a lifetime.

The weather now in Beijing is very pleasant with temperature anywhere between 21 - 31C but with occasional rains. We were lucky enough it was a bright sunny day. Hence I wanted to be comfortable with my outfit and sported these dressy shorts that I got from my last trip to Korea with a printed crop top and a pair of shoes from Primark.

Hope you like this travel post and will come up with more in the coming days as my ever so wandering soul hauls in the next destination.

Until next time ..... keep it stylish....keep it functional

Hi My Lovely People!!

How have you been guys? I can't tell you enough how I missed being active from blogging all these days that I was MIA. The last two months were little crazy at work. Nevertheless I am glad that I could finally visit a place in the mean time, that I had so wanted to, for a very long time now. Today's post features my short trip to Tunis and the very first travel post in ProgressivePanache. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed roaming around this ancient historic Village, Sidi Bou Said, in northern Tunis.

What attracted me to visit this place were the white and blue houses. There is something very magical, and surreal about this place, which has a reputation of being the town of artists. Many artists have lived or visited and have worked here in the past. Though I am not that an art lover kinda person, I could feel how any creative person would feel and how he would connect to the ambience here. One can feel there is history here. The history may not be that rich, but it surely has tradition to it. I am a sucker for anything that has a traditional and folk touch to it. It is a small uphill village that can be covered walking in two to three hours if you walk through each and every lane. I just took the straight way that led me to the highest peak from where the Port of Tunis is clearly visible. I must tell you it is a breathtaking view from there. Specially if you are like me who loves to see the sun go down, it is just surreal. I sat in one of the most known places, Cafe Delices, to relish a local seafood dish along with a minty-nutty-tea to enjoy the sunset. But am really sorry I was so smitten by the view that I almost forgot to capture the sunset through my lens. Though, what I know for sure is that I will treasure that view in my heart for my entire lifetime.

Last but not the least, as a fashion blogger lets talk about the outfit I wore. I had planned a very dreamy summery maxi dress to go with the, lets say, theme of the location. But much to my disappointment it was a very windy and chilly day and I had to settle down with my High waisted skinny jeans and a turtle neck knitted crop-top. Threw in a long woolen coat along and wore my spring inspired canvas shoes which I am obsessing these days.

Thank you so much for stopping by,.....until next time...keep it stylish...keep it functional.

Lots of Love
