* LoVe to Me * & Stylish Blogger Award

What is Love, oh baby don't hurt me.. don't hurt me.. No More.. Remember this song of 1990's from Haddaway?? yeaa.. :)

So Hello to all My Loveliess.. <3

I will talk about LOVE today!!! I had written this article 3 years back and published it last year in a website called Chic Factor.. I guess many of you know about it :)
So go on and read about what I feel about the Beauty of Love <3



My Perfect Guy would be a person who loves me like a Princess, 
shows me that he cares, 
tells me 'I'm your's' and 
sways me like a Man!! 


Makes me feel safe, 
makes me feel alive, 
makes me spend every second with 
smile uptight :)


He Never says Never, 
says fear will be at bay and 
when we finally come together.. 
Time will stop Forever <3 <3


~ Akanksha


What makes Love sweet? What makes it all glorious? How does it make the 'world a better place'?
Love gives us so much and what do we have to offer? .. Criticism and erotic gestures?


Our loved ones help us in rough times and allow us to be a part of their world. They risk their identity for our unrealistic demands over a so called ‘quality time’ and in return we have a ‘Thank you’ to offer.
Love can’t be depicted in words and cannot be binned by promises of either the one to ‘stick’ with each other until the end of time! I’d say that both Trust & immense feeling have challenged my insight to Love... But I realize only now, I’ll understand what it meant- LOVE WILL FIND ITS WAY.





A few days back, while talking to a friend, I realized why some people are skeptical to 'walk the aisle' - In this case, walk towards the path of Love! Why so? - After all the vivid description by Shakespeare and Pablo Neruda.. But when the reality struck me, I was taken aback- the more you you give out yourself, the more difficult it becomes to recognize yourself in the eyes of others. My friend felt that Love has many problems attached to it and 'the need to commit' becomes a 'need' rather than a 'want'!
Well well well, this gives rise to even a bigger question- Is Love, a Burden?

A piece of note here, “Don’t struggle for love, let Love chase you”. For as I said Love will find its way. Do what you intend to do but be open to uninvited guests: as it is said, 'You meet a certain person in life because he is related to you in some way or the other' ~ Destiny anyone?



So to tell you what I perceive of Love . . .
if you are in love, all the hurdles seem untangled.. all the worries seem at bay and when you think it is over, your love saves your fate! When you are ready to push your borders and let things work out for each other to make them feel loved. It's love...You wont hold them back from their dreams, instead you will be their support system and make sure they get there..


"Baby, you have my Full Support"



What better way to conclude than by saying this:-
‘Not everyone can become a great lover but a great lover can come from anyone '


So, my friends.. What do you feel about Love? Thoughts? Please share them here :)

Now for the second part of this post..
I've been awarded 'The Stylish Blogger Award' by the very sweet Dian ajeng maharani from Less Sugar Sweet Candy.. Thank you so so much for this award honey! I love it :)

Now, there are just 4 rules for receiving this award:

  1. Thank & link to the person who awarded you.
  2. Share 7 things about yourselves.
  3. Award 15 or so recently discovered great blogs.
  4. Contact these bloggers and tell them they won.

Seven things about Me! This time I will say altogether different things about me :)
  1. I don't like aerated drinks, coffee and tea: exceptions are always there ;) like I can have coke in functions (but I hate it), coffee with a hot date *blush blush* and only GREEN TEA!
  2. I'm a huge fan of How I met Your Mother- The show.. Have watched all seasons 7 times till date :D.. If given a chance, I'll visit New York (for sure!) and Meet Josh Radnor aka Ted <3
  3. I don't like playing Holi or Diwali (Indian festivals) but the happiness, sweets, fun and lights amaze me! :)
  4. I've been on half-night out, only Once In Life: haven't had sleep-overs with my girl-friends and have been on 1 trip with my friends :( but this hasn't stopped me from enjoying small moments in life :)
  5. Blogging is one of My Biggest Passion till date! Also, since the day it started, whatever clothes I buy are in accordance with my Blog :D
  6. I love to cuddle dogs (Pets only) but I'm scared to hold them at first place.. haha
  7. Interior Designing or Shoe designing is my 3rd and last resort after Engineering and MBA related jobs. :)

Now, as a rule and out of happiness, I'd like to give this award to 15 great stylish Bloggers :) (random order)


Happy Women's Day in Advance.. <3 Actually, Every Day should be a Women's Day with minor shifts to fit in Men's Day :P

So, here I go :)

Five things that set me Apart:

1. I find happiness in small little things in life!
2. I prefer receiving/giving hand-made gifts over bought ones!
3. This is like a little off the 'list' but I have to tell you guys- IT IS MY DREAM to go to NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The number of exclamation marks would explain my desperation!
4. I don't follow ANY TREND or what is 'IN' and what is 'OUT'.. I dress according to my mood and when my parents give me money to shop! ;) haha
5. I have a penchant for Spicy food!! Can never stop eating.. I overeat Spicy food!!!!!!!

Five sweet things about Surabhi-->

1. She is the Sweetest Blogger I've ever known! I can even bet, there is no one sweeter in the Blogging world! :D
2. When I read her posts, they are like so genuine and cute.. You get a soothing feeling while reading them :)
3. When I scold her (not literally ofcourse) for not visiting my blog often, she apologizes like she has hurt me and clarifies what she was upto.. hahah.. cuteee
4. She is new to the Blogging world but it's like she is my Best-Blogging-buddy cum good friend in making :)
5. She makes me happy with sweeeeeeet and happy comments  :D .. the best one was " It's like marrying your blog- Loving it" :)

Five sweet things about Sam-->

1. I love her unconditionally!! She is my first Blogger friend and we have like grown together :)
2. She is so damn good at writing!!!!! Just Read ANY post of her's!!
3. Whenever she visits my blog, she asks about my whereabouts and all the good things which I find sweet :)
4. She lives in South Africa but that doesn't stop her and her mom to know about India. Her mom sees the 'top notch' soaps of Indian Television, she knows about Indian Movies, likes Dino Morea, loves Italian food but can't cook.. but can definitely cook Velvet cupcakes, cookies etc.
5. She is a humble person with a nice heart and it is always great to hear from her :)

The Facebook Award would be published on Facebook only! :)

Until then
Keep Smiling :)

Received the "Versatile Blogger" Award

The first words I said after receiving this were-
OMG
OMG
OMG

Funny story: Yesterday, a random thought came to my mind~ What if I receive some blogger award. What will I do? Whom will I pass the award too? haha. and look.. Here it is..  :)

I started Fictitious Fashion out of my own interest in September 2011. With each new member I would jump, go out especially to get clicked for blog, dress-up, wear accessories I wore just once and challenge myself at every step! I even clicked pictures of food which I never did and used to laugh at people who did such things :P. That was then and this is now.. over 130 followers, approx 3,600 page reviews.. I never knew how this blog would become so dear to me.
I personally Thank all my lovey-dovey followers who have 'Inspired' me to keep writing and exceed my capabilities. I swear I never ever imagined that I'd be able to do some 'Nail-Art' and now, you guys appreciate it which really boosts me. So a Big THANK YOU to each and everyone of you for being a part of my Fictitious world, Fictitious Fashion :)


I want to extend my Sincerest Thanks and Appreciation to Deepika of Divassence for recognizing my Blog and giving me this title. <3

Rules for Accepting the Versatile Blogger Award:
1) Thank the person who nominated you and give them a shout out on your blog with a link to their blog.
2) Share 7 random facts about yourself.
3) Send on the award to 15 bloggers whose blogs that you appreciate and then let them know that they have won the award.

So here are 7 Random facts about me ^^

1. I'm a hygiene freak!!!! I can't live without washing my hands for maximum 1hr. I scold my friends for not washing hands before having food :P.Also, my tummy scolds me if I eat from a local place :D

2. Eat- That reminds me: I'm a big foodie. You give me olives, jalapenos, chillies, vinegar.. That's right.I have 'hots' for spices.When in dilemma, I choose the food which is having the maximum number of chillies drawn next to it, in a menu card :D

3. I believe in Comfortable fashion! I don't follow trends.You will find me wearing leopard prints when the trend has gone..haha.. That's me. When I feel like and if I'm comfortable with a thing.. I flaunt like anything ;) Else You will always see me in jeans and a cute top.. Heyyy, That's chic too! 

4. I love giving hand made gifts rather than cash or bought goodies. You might have seen how I made greeting cards for Mr. A on his birthday :D. You give me buttons, ribbons, chart, scissors, etc. and I will sit for an entire day making stuff. But gimme 500 bucks; I won't be able to spend a single penny! SO it has to be thoughtful :)

5. My friends say I'm a perfectionist! lol.. really.. laugh on this one! My friends just have to tease me on the way I'm sitting, holding a glass, eating, sketching..- as I told earlier.. I'll sit for an entire day for the job that could be over in maximum six hours! It doesn't mean that everything goes perfect, but yes.. From my part, if I'm devoting time on something, I put my whole heart to it :)

6. I don't wear Make-up.. I don't know whether this comes as a shock to you or not: but I prefer being natural over putting a cake of foundation and concealers. Maximum: a kohl and a lip gloss! That's all I can afford on my skin.haha

7. I Believe in GOD! He is my inspiration, the source of my happiness and the reason behind everything in my life. I love him. I thank him everyday for EVERYTHING! Everyone who is in my life and for people who are not! I believe that devotion and patience in God makes way for the road to a happy and satisfied life :)

I'm highly obliged and excited to pass on this award to the most amazing 15 well deserved Bloggers who have put their heart and soul in blogging and love it as much as I do :)

1.  Sam from Frills and Thrills
2.  Alina from My SIlk Fairytale
