Last Sunday James Ferreira celebrated his “Nearly 60” birthday with friends and family over brunch at his beautiful home in Kotachiwadi. I remember going down that lane once before for Nowshad and my pre-wedding shoot (remember?!) But this was the first time I got to go inside his ancestral home, which is GORGEOUS! And hang out with all my favorite fashionista’s Bandana Tewari, Akanksha Nanda, Little Shilpa and Poorna Jagannathan. So fun 🙂

Oooh! You wanna see what the unexpected cherry on the cake was? His super stylish turtle, Myrtle! Only James could have a pet this cool. (Apparently Myrtle likes to be picked up, petted and played with, not one to be shy, she was all about showing off her shell!) Wanna see?!

And here’s what happened when I told Bandana that Nowshad was off to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Cape Town! An impromptu stylista primer courtesy Mz B. and just like that she coined the IT term for the trip – Fashion Tourism. Watch!

PS. Love you James! Can’t wait for our next Sri Lanka escapade, funnily enough my pink top is from that trip to Cotton Collection! 🙂 xoxo
