MS COFFEE AND CREAM'S INSTAPARTY

What is your holiday fantasy?? For me it’s been checking into the @wynnlasvegas , taking long baths, jumping on the big fluffy bed, and snuggling up to lots of cheesey Lifetime Christmas romance movies! Taking a vacation and breaking your routine is one of the best ways to tap back into your creativity and happiness! To be honest I’ve been pretty stressed out getting my Product Design portfolio ready, applying to jobs, and just generally feeling drained by all the intense focus it takes to be so logical and so “ON” in a totally new world (the world of tech is just so different from my natural state of mind). This stress has really created a block in my natural creativity and sense of expression, which is why you haven’t heard much from me. But that’s about to change!! I finally hear my creative essence calling me to shoot some photos! Although life has its ups and downs, your creativity is always with you! Even if it is silent for a little while, that essence is always with you if you can learn to open your heart to it ❤️ Tell me if you had no agenda and could free yourself from stress, what would be your dream fantasy this month 👇🏽? #LasVegas #photoshoot #gannigirl #lacedress #holidayparty #wynnlasvegas #lasvegasbaby #bathtubselfie #fashionshooting #highfashion #girlsjustwannahavefun #ganni #holidaystyle #lacedress #lookdujour #bathtubparty

"My definition of beauty is strength and personality. Strength is captivating: the women I've seen in India working the fields in their orange saris, their arms covered with colorful glass bangles; the women working construction in Indonesia, carrying heavy bricks on their heads; The dignity of these women with their innate elegance is a true inspiration of beauty." - @therealdvf So thrilled to get to meet one of the women I consider a true role model today - Diane has made it to the west coast yay! Ever since my mother bought me my first DvF dress (for prom!) and I have been captivated by the meaning behind her designs and how she has faced so many challenges with confidence and strength. When I was going through a particularly difficult time I used to go on long runs and listen to her book “The Woman I Wanted to Be.” I highly recommend it for anyone taking the road less traveled in life!! This shot is one of my favorites and I’m wearing a little crop top by Diane that reminds me of my favorite place in the world...Maui! I seriously wear this top all the time (even in the winter) because it gives me those happy Hawaiian vibes. 💕 #DvF #mscoffeeandcream #fashionshot #dianevonfurstenberg #fashioneditorial

I put a spell on you...and not you’re mineeeeee🔮 What is your favorite Halloween movie and why? ⚰️ 🧿 #mscoffeeandcream #selfportrait #halloweencostume #conceptual #styleinspiration #artphoto

I’ve missed you all so much!!!!! The past month has been a whirlwind since I’ve been transition to Product Design and cramming my brain full of challenges, but I have truly missed you all my dear friends! What have you been up to??? Any new exciting projects, trips, adventures? Comment below and tell me! Also who is excited for Halloween??? I can’t wait to have my first Halloween as a new homeowner and am currently trying to compete with my neighbors for best decorations. Halloween is such a joyful time of childlike delight and it’s so much fun to watch all the kids being imaginative. Are you going to dress up this year and if so what are you going to be??? 🥰 #mscoffeeandcream #portrait #fashioneditorial

Have you recently discovered something new about yourself that you LOVE?? I never thought I was patient or detailed enough to puzzle over pixels allll day, but it turns out it can be quite a fun challenge, even when I feel like I’m just swimming upstream in circles and circles. My dear friend and fellow UX designer Valentina @vcalvache wrote me the most inspiring letter yesterday, about facing challenges and still loving yourself, and I wanted to share her valuable words of wisdom with you: “Let’s be infinite and courageous, for we have nothing to lose. In a world where we are often told to be sad and powerless, let’s shine and go wherever we want, because our moment here on earth is just one, and we are from beyond the limits of the earth. Never think that you can’t do what you have to do, because like it or not, that is where self respect lies.” ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #mscoffeeandcream #inspirational #fashionphotography #photofashion #whitedress #sky #composition #conceptualphotography #visualmags #creatorsmags #fashionphoto #beacuseofvogue #thevisualvoices #yourvisiongallery #beachfashionshot #sfmodel

Are you as ready for this long weekend as me!!!!??? What are your plans?? Just in case you don’t have grand plans, I give you permission to truly just relax and enjoy some quiet time! It’s totally okay to not fill up your calendar! There is something very healing about the joy of missing out ;) ❤️ Things I’m looking froward to this weekend - having Jay’s parents see our new house for the first time! They will be performing a Hindu housewarming ceremony and I’m so excited to have some positive spiritual energy surrounding my loved ones. Ganesh is one of the main deities we will worship (he is the cool elephant 🐘 God) and he helps unblock obstacles in your path to success, and is a patron of the arts and new beginnings (we all need those obstacles unblocked right?). I remember my Dad cracking a fresh coconut 🥥 to symbolize the unblocking of obstacles while I was growing up, so this ritual brings up a lot of nostalgia and good memories for me (and who doesn’t love to eat fresh coconut meat??). We will also boil 🥛 milk to the point where it overflows, to symbolize great wealth and prosperity flowing abundantly in the house. We are also supposed to bring a cow into the house to symbolize blessings from Lord Shiva, but that’s not going to happen! Then we will be off to Tahoe for some fun in nature. What cultural rituals do you enjoy the most and what are your plans this weekend??? 🥥 🥥 🥥 #mscoffeeandcream #indiangirl #desigirl #bangalore #leelapalace #desimodel #hotindiangirls #modelsofindia #bollywoodfashion #southasianblogger #desiqueen #indianoutfit #bayareablogger #pink #fashionpose

YOU ✨CAN✨ REINVENT YOURSELF. ❤️ I want to remind you today: you are not stuck, you can reinvent yourself, and you are more than what you do. ❤️ Regardless of where you are today, if you hear that little whisper that you were made for more, just know that people love you for who you are, for just BEING, not for doing. ❤️ A lot of you DM me about how to start something new. The answer to ‘How to start?’ is, just start. If you want to be an artist make art, if you want to be a dancer, dance, if you want to be a Kpop Star start singing and sheet masking! Find places where you are able to do the things you wish to do. Join an art school, find a dance troupe or a theatre to perform at. Find people who do similar things, learn from them, get mentorship! Ask yourself if you want to make money from your passion or just pursue it as a hobby. Neither is a wrong answer, only you know your circumstances and limitations of what you can and cannot do. (At least at this very moment). Google every doubt that crosses your mind, learn everything you can and then apply it. Learn from your mistakes and be open to unlearning whatever you need to as time passes. Be creative not just in your craft but with how you approach your life, as there are no fixed paths. And remember to enjoy whatever it is you love making ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️ #Mscoffeeandcream #howihue #portraitphotography #photovogue #editorialfashion #80sfashion #fashioneditorial #contentcreator #contentcreators #goldearrings #pinkaesthetic #acolorstory #purplesleeves #jeweltones #boldcolor #popofcolor #model #indiangirl

CELEBRATE where you are today!! It is so easy to chase what the next big thing in our life. It is so hard to slow down and evaluate and celebrate where you are at the moment. I don't know about you, but I used to judge myself very harshly ... and I still do sometimes, but I’ve finally learned some good tools 🛠 to deal! Last week I felt myself spiraling down into some anxiety and negative thinking - criticizing myself for not doing or being enough. Do you ever feel yourself spiraling into negative thoughts or moods? What triggers those for you? ... So this morning I made the conscious effort to meditate for 10 whole minutes (while face masking) and it just felt so cleansing and invigorating! I never though I would be the type of person who could meditate but trust me - even two minutes will help you set yourself up for success and positivity thinking! I’m not perfect at staying present, but I’m learning to enjoy where I am now, and stop thinking about what, who, and where I am not. Do you feel what I feel sometimes? Tell me one thing about yourself that you are celebrating today! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #mscoffeeandcream #editorialfashion #fashionphotographyeditorial #sfmodel #sanfranciscostyle #mysf #sfmoma #sanfranciscolife #girlsinmuseums #colorfulfashion #colorfulstyle #makeyousmile #longlegsdontcare #miniskirt #mixedgirlmonday #mixedgirlmagic #strikeaposeanywhere

I see some new faces around here (👋 hi, welcome!) so I thought this would be a good opportunity to re-introduce myself. ▪️I’m Asha, a joyful soul who can’t decide if she should live in 17th century Versailles or 80s. ▪️I’m a Gemini, a dark chocolate lover, and an enneagram 4 (The Romantic). ▪️I’m a Californian of half Indian and half European decent, and lived in London for college. I just moved into my first house with my husband Jay and we live with our crazy tuxedo kitty named Margot who is a very spoiled and clumsy kitty. Even though I have a house most days I still feel like I’m a kid playing grown up! We are starting to think about having kids and I’m really excited to one day be a hot mama 🥰 I currently spend my days learning everything to do with designing amazing user experiences at a UX immersive bootcamp in San Francisco, and my lunch breaks, nights and weekends creating artful photography and words to inspire YOU ❤️ ▪️On my blog www.mscoffeeandcream.com you’ll find *lots* of advice about taking the road less traveled in life, and how to find happiness and satisfaction if you are a unique soul. I also love talking about relationship advice, and yes, there is lots of fashion too! I strive to support you on your journey to a joyful life with lots of color and fun added! ▪️😬 Ohhhh lalala that’s enough about me! Tell me something about you! What’s your favorite food?? ❤️ #editorialfashion #mscoffeeandcream #moodyports #portrait #lovepluscolor #mixedchick #photovogue #colorfulportrait #sfstyle #sanfrancisco #portraitstyle #womenportrait #photovogue #portraitmodel #selfportrait #selfiemoment #artdirectionbyme
