Never goes out of Fashion

There comes a time when you want to drop everything and relax, catch a breath, sip coffee, watch your favorite tv shows and engage in laughter with the people you love.

I am in such a state right now. I wanted to do those things which I loved before coming to Mumbai. When you're home, you're taken care of and can focus on yourself and things that make you happy. Here I do everything: right from cooking to laundry, studying to shopping. So it was essential for me to make a day plan for me the night before or early morning so that I can have 'Me' time everyday. I was so excited as things were going well ( getting fit, control on diet, positive thoughts..) that I decided to call up my friend (photographer) for a sunny day out. What better to feel good in than a basic white shirt and blue denims. It Never goes out of Fashion.

Hope you enjoy the pictures. P.S. I've planned a holiday Giveaway for you. Stay tuned for my next post.

Make Your Online Shop: Ezebee for India

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”, famously said by Edgar Degas.

Hello my Beautiful friends

There are very few places in the world where an Artist can portray his art; even less in the digital world! E-commerce has taken the world by storm AND it is mandatory for people of brilliance, to let their lovers find them. Do you agree?

ezebee.com is doing just that! It is a marketplace that brings thousands of unique handmade products, gifts and designs from all over the world at one place. You can shop from their website, directly talk to the person selling it, like your favorites or even sell your beautiful artifacts online and it’s absolutely safe.

Take this beautiful piece of jewellery from Bangles4u and pair it with this lovely saree from Saiyaara Design Studio: the options are limitless.

When on the website, you can join forums & groups, make your free online shop, post an advertisement and become an independent entrepreneur that you always wanted to be! Tips and Ideas on hot topics like Social Media Marketing, Fashion and Weddings will keep you hooked while new artists update their ideas on the marketplace.

It is really fascinating to see your work online and even more exciting to see the ‘request purchase’ proposal within few minutes of display. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your efforts being appreciated, is it?

Head over here and sign up to start your business- Big or small, this is the place that matters

Let me know in the comments below, what it feels like to be responsible for your own livelihood :)

This Time Home

Hi Friends

How is everyone doing?

I am so excited to be back. Someone rightly said, there is no place like home, no greater love than family's and no comfort than in your jammies :P I know I mixed a lot of sayings and put my words into it, but hey: you get the feeling, right?

I have so many thoughts running back n' forth my head. One time I feel overjoyed then at once grinding my teeth.. All because I'm at home and the time is running so quickly. Not long before I was here this time last year: when I was excited just to be back. It was more of a 'welcome home let's celebrate Diwali' than 'You're busy these days, come home to celebrate Diwali'. Everything but the feeling is in place. Who likes change anyway. But as I wrote in my earlier post Change is Inevitable

we got to move on and accept what life is offering to us. Then again, don't we make our own lives?

These snaps were taken in Palladium Mall, Mumbai. Loved the swarovski artwork in the center of the mall. You cannot miss the embellishment on my collar here. This was the only attraction I paid INR 350 for! Yes! I can also bargain upto 50% :D (maybe first and the last time as I don't enjoy shopping at flea markets and yelling at the top of my voice just to be heard)

But for now, enjoy the pictures :)

WEARING

Shirt: Linking Road, Mumbai, Pants: Madame, Shoes: Metro, Bag: Oasap.com

The Striking One

Hello all

I'm feeling good these days. No reason, just like that. Isn't it nice to NOT think about reasons & not justifying your happiness to someone? I, for one, do feel it's good to be on your own and do what suits you the best.

Just last few months in Mumbai and I'll be off to my hometown. The biggest thing Mumbai has given me is Independence. I know many of you would resonate with this feeling. There are many reasons why I still prefer Delhi over Mumbai but I have to face the truth; if it weren't for Mumbai, I wouldn't have had the courage to face the '@#@DW@$%^' of life. I also thank it for not having winters but loathe rains! I know I've said it many times, but it kind of grows on you. **Rains bleh**

So we were out in the mall, buying gift for a friend when suddenly I just wanted some pictures for my beloved blog. It was a long time and it deserved some action :)

This top is my favorite from my New York trip- H&M all the way. I have worn it with white, red, yellow, pink and ofcourse black pair of pants: It just goes with everything!

So enjoy my post while I'm off to watching Despicable Me. Have you seen it? How did you find it? Let me know :D

Wearing- Top: H&M Jeggings: Myntra

Hairstyles for Monsoon

Hello Everyone

It’s Monsoon here in Mumbai. I guess I’m the only one who hates these kind of rains. Who else feels the same? Let me know so that I know I’m not alone in this.

So here I am with cute hairstyles for women for long and short hair. You can consider this post to be a throwback whilst showing the hairstyles you can adorn for monsoon or on other occasions. 

If you want to let your hair open then

Wear a hat- On sunny days, a hat can spruce up your outfit.

Floral tiara headband- Wear it to a beach, day party or a brunch.

Simple headband- I’ve been wearing headbands all my life now. The styles have change but on any day when I have to keep my hair open, I wear one!

Pin up on sides or top- This looks great on rebounded/naturally straight hair or the ones that are really heavy on top.

Short hairstyle- Leave them open, part them from sides and pin it up. Makes up for a cute yet carefree look.

You can also wear a Beret or Breton cap or tie up a cool bandana. They look super call with any hairstyle!

During monsoon or bad hair days, I recommend these hairstyles

Fish tail braid- Messy or neat is upto you. Fish tail braids look utterly hot and beautiful on any day.

Twisted ponytail- Tie a pony, make a gap in between and take the entire ponytail through it such that twists develop on either side of the hair. It looks really royal.

High rise ponytails- These look very chic. Wear them with crisp shirt and colored pants/denims.

Which hairstyle do you like? Let me know in the comments below :)

MY LBD from Limeroad.com

"I have enough LBDs, said no girl ever"

I've had 3 before and when I saw this piece on Limeroad.com I just had one thing to do- put it in my basket!
So the first time I saw Limeroad.com it was back in 2013. It was a very different shopping destination as compared to other websites we see around. Their USP, I believe, is the storyboards they create around their clothing. They give you visual style tips to make your shopping experience memorable. I didn't find their delivery system quick but when the order came, they had left a "We missed you" note since I wasn't available. I liked this gesture of theirs. Don't the little things count? :)

So I bought this beautiful sheer dress from them. I was sceptical about the neckline and armhole but it fits me like a glove. Tailored-made, eh?

I believe it is one of the best online shopping websites in India with one of the most versatile designs and friendly customer care.

Also, since the world is going digital and mobile seems to be the new thing, they have a mobile app for your convenience :) Do check it!

Can't wait to style this. What do you recommend?
I say, low bun, chandelier earrings and a cuff.

Sunny in Central Park

When we officially came New York, there was no looking back. We just had one plan: EXPLORE!

On our first official day, we went to Central Park. The park is beautiful to see, sit and sleep (haha). On one side you see families playing while on another, people getting tanned, eating, sleeping, running. Well yea, running! They run all day, all the time.
Also, saw the WTC and walked across the brooklyn bridge on a cold night.

I loved each and every moment and I can't tell enough of how beautiful the city is.

For now, see the pictures and you'll know what I'm talking about.

 

Wearing:

Dress: Promod, Coat: Udobuy, Bag: Fastrack, Shoes: Myntra.com

I hope you had fun reading my post :)

Can't wait to read your comments.

Until next time

xoxo
