Mangoes and Jamuns
Nida Mahmood shorts, Forever 21 top, Nine West sandals
When I was thinking about how to style these shorts, my first thought was to pair them with a white shirt. But their vibrant color and playfully retro print begged for livelier companionship.
I fished out this really old purple top from the back of my dungeon of a closet and was instantly reminded of summers in India. Together, the ensemble is my throwback to fragrant alphonso mangoes and ripe, luscious jamuns. Ah, summer!

When I think of India, one of the things I think about is Gulab Jamun too. Infinitely sweet but that stickiness reminds you so much of Hindustan.
Lots of love from Sydney,

Kel: Gulab jamun is one of my favorite deserts too. But jamun is actually a deep purple fruit from which gulab jamun (literally, “rose jamun”) gets its name. If you are ever in India during summer, you should try some jamuns. They are delicious.
