Hi angels !! Well! I am literally feeling tipsy on welcoming 2K18. The entire year went by in swag, it was a quick one for me with many highs and lows (Do tell me yours, in the comment box below). Talking more about highs..the year had me swinging all over the globe. More so, we started with new business unit, made many new friends and had the best time with old ones along with the newbies. Now, words like compassion and empathy have taken over in my life, as I continue to learn lessons with each passing day.  It's difficult to crunch a year in this much space, but like always my family and I had a great time rejoicing around, celebrating and supporting emotionally as and when needed.  God is kind :) So, for the new years eve, I have decided upon few options for you guys, to style up for the *party* A. On the hotness quotient, try donning gold embellished skimpy sequence skirt with a chic black top over and a smart jacket to make up for the sins....

Think 'Winters' and out pops an image of uber-comfy woollens wrapped up and above, all around. Still for many of us, it isn't a no-fuss story. We want to stay warm but not on the cost of layering clothes. Here are few styling ideas you would swear by as the temperature drops! ✔️  Chic mid thigh dress with a long faux-fur jacket, pantyhose and high velvet crush boots..voila! A perfect gala evening. ✔️ Casual day look can be mustered by donning a blue ripped jeans with a cashmere pullover and patent leather/velvet loafers. ✔️ Going for a classy dinner date? Here is the winter red hot - sexy black dress with a short trench coat and count on high heels or ankle boots to complete the look. ✔️ Beat the monday work blues with a pastel leather jacket on black fitted trousers and scarf around, if its a non formal mood day. *The catch is- wherever the winter takes you, stay warm in soft and stylish wool*

Hi everyone! With the festive feel all around, I wish you all a very Happy Diwali! Hope you guys celebtated it in the gleam of diyas with lots of happiness and joy. Today, this substantial blogpost is about a two word hashtag floating virally on all the social mediums  to condemn sexual harrasment in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey  Weinstein.  It has spread its wings in all the corners of the world from Hollywood to Bollywood, people from all  walks of life are coming forward with their experiences, raising hands among those who have been  assaulted at some point of time in their life.          WHY? I beseech here WHY?? Why still things like these exist?  No matter how westernised our culture is or how forward (in lame language) we are, still men feel  powerful in groping a women at her workplace or when she is alone on street walking the way down  to her destination.  ...

Hello to my friends! A long time again, since I wrote :(  Many apologies, but yeah see here I am back with a new topic *all smiles* This time its for MEN. The thought of writing up a blog on men's styling came up to me, when I watched the protagonist of 'Kingsman - The Golden Circle' and his co-stars. Everything right from their clothes to pistols, spying manners and well screamed British accent,  Flawless ! So, let's go Anglo-Indian way to seek some sharply dressed well-suited ideas.   Grey Rules  The classic grey suit and a white shirt still fit the bill, no matter the occasion. Job interview? Evening wedding? Afternoon wedding? Dinner date? This neutral palette provides a handsome look with add on accessories depending upon which party you are attending #WINK. Master of the Game - Double Breasted suit You wish to wear those from the movie, while Taron Egerton do the superhero sort of spying. Well fitted double breasted jackets a...

It's hard to express but, there are times when you feel sort of love affair with a place and would really want to settle in. I felt the same Celtic connect with this country. This beautiful land boasts of a romantic seaside peninsula region, religious heritage sites and lunatic beaches for the party animals. Here are some reasons, I would wisssssssshhhhh to go back again. #1. Breakfast at Las Ramblas Barcelona Who doesn't want to sit in lined up eateries with a live violin tuned up? Its soothing...! The place makes you stop and sit with a most luxurious view of high-ends with live flute or guitar playing as you fill yourself with their menu. #2. Gorge on the interesting E spaño l  delicacies If you haven't tasted the Paellas and Churros yet, you are missing upon something real special. The blend of saute veggies folded in the thick Thai rice, served in wok is a new Spanish experience to witness. If you have a sweet tooth and are willing to taste beyond waffles ...

Fellow readers, how I wish to stay connected with y'all. Well! I do love to share my experience on things I have successfully completed or reviews on products I have used and much appreciated. Sure, everyone has their own skin routine and it works just fine with them. But, everything in life needs an upgrade and our skin is no different. In this post I will try to share my views on how I went from dry and unhealthy skin type to a ravishing and glowing one. Dealing with a dry as well as sensitive skin was no turkey shoot. The moment I used to nourish my skin with any good moisturiser, it used to end up  making my skin look oily with the mushrooming blemishes all over. It was so hard for me to face myself that time. Then someone suggested me to try,  Blossom Kochhar's almond nourishing cream especially for dry skin type after cleansing and again a Blossom Kochhar's aroma magic vitamin E night cream for the magic to happen. Containing high levels of   natural veg...

Hello beauties! How hot it is around you? I know the weather is taking a toll, all around the country. And now, its time to tweak your regime as the mercury hits high notes. First and foremost, its very important to keep yourself hydrated, so that you stay fit and healthy. Consume good amount of H2O, juicy fruits, coconut water and lemon juice. Drink like a fish, breathe in a happy environment and wear something comfortable - Say hello summers. Pick a pain white tee teamed up with hot pants, glares and white sneakers for cool casual day look.  Playing it safe you are not just beating the heat but, helping yourself to get that summer swag on. Time to opt for some pastels, my heart goes with mustard and celadon green. You may choose any of your favourite hue in a cold shoulder funky top or an off shoulder blouse, completing the look with tousled wavy hair. If you are already tired of wearing jeans and full lengths, linen cullotes with crops is the bes...

Hello, Recently, I got this new matte finish corallista nail lacquer from Nykaa .   I will be sharing swatches of  few of its shades in the post with a quick review. After applying, I found this one compared to any other brand, a little more durable with a long lasting stay. The Nykaa paints are more thicker in consistency, which makes them take long to dry out.  Trying out its neon shades like lavender and blueberry macaron - nothing beats their polished finish and the smooth touch reflecting back the chic look.  I loved its colour palette, offering some dreamy hues with a clear matte finish. The wear time is about 5 days after which the shade goes pale. Overall, it looks pretty on your hand. What else? :')

Hey guys!  Today I am sharing with y'all my travel diaries to UAE. I hope you get a brief glance about the place and can plan for a holiday this summer break.  Last year, at this time we (my husband and I) scaled up our travel pursuits a bit and went for a long sojourn to Dubai. Oh! what an amazing holiday it was...!!!! We took a personal car and drove all the way exploring the city, admiring its sky high edifice; Burj Khalifa ; the magnificent Burj Al-Arab, a beauty in its own standing tall on the waters and serving as the best hotel, one of its kind. The spectacular architecture and design of the minarets, was way beyond the imagination. Dubai conjures up a variety of images. A melting pot of cultures, a partying hotspot and a mecca for shopaholics- this place is a world in itself.  While we enjoyed the each day of our stay, the most intimidating visit was when we went for the Desert Safari, rolling our powerful SUV's and Hummer on high sand ...

Hello plebs!  Hope you all are doing great :) Well, I have been doing awesome too and this time, I have come up with some unapologetic make up tips and products which you all should definitely try upon, for a swanky red carpet entry. To start with, first hydrate your skin with a generous amount of moisturiser. The new whipped Shea butter cream by  L'Occitane en Provence  is a must try product especially for a dry and flaky skin. It illuminates the face, making your skin look healthy and lustrous.  Next, apply a soothing foundation, I use  VITALUMIERE   FOUNDATION  -  Chanel , a liquid foundation for a flawless finish.  If you want to give your eyes a classic winged look, dust the eyelids with golden/silver shade from the palette, preferably La Palette Nude Rose by L'Oreal.   Using the,  Double Wear Zero-Smudge Liquid Eyeliner - Estee Lauder   (you can opt for any as per your choice) draw a ...

Heya peeps!   How was the weekend? Hope you guys had a great fun. Last to last week it was my cousin's bachelor bash.  Amidst the champagne and tequila decanters, I found myself high-spirited draped in pristine blue off-the-shoulder ankle length prom dress. The wired satin sheath dress, added oomph to my style, accessorising it more with an abstract statement piece in my ears and hand.  A flawless option, if you are looking for an evening filled with love and romance. One can also slip into feisty stilettos or bold wedges and walk the talk. And if not, then carry it simple with soft curls and minimal make up to be the cynosure of all eyes for the eve. Get the look - Blue Dress - +Forevernew India   | Stilettos - +STEVE MADDEN   |Watch -  +TAG Heuer   Keep smiling. Hugs xoxo

Wohoo! The week turned out to be a memorable 7 days affair with family and friends, who descended from all over the world, to be a part of my cousin's regal wedding. While the bride and the groom were dazzling on the red carpet, the stage had its own share of drama filled with their folks, eager to perform for the prince and the princess of the evening.  The wedding day was dotted with tears of joy, few hangovers, some emotional highs and of course baraatis dhol dance and gaana galore. As for the dressing, in musical night, I chose to wear a parasol peach angel sleeved long dress designed by  @armuse. Adding up to the English rose, hair and make up was by  @venusjaipur. Amping up the drama on the main wedding day, I suited myself in pristine red lehenga with zardosi embellishment all over, more so with a quirky mix of head and neck jewellery. Again the hairdo and make up was done by @venusjaipur.   (Scroll down for more pictures from the func...

Hui there! Apologies...! I have been keeping super busy with designing and other stuff, and not writing blogs for days. But luckily on new years, I took a resolution for staying in touch with my readers by writing for eve other thing which I do, maintaining the strong bond with y'll.  Talking about today's post which is regarding the last photo shoot night of 2016. Well, the year had been crazy for me with many ups and downs, got to learn new lessons, travelled a lot, and most importantly started loving myself, come what may.  That night in the KK Royals hotel, the final shoot for the year was quite simple and easy. For your new winter wardrobe a double breast suede jacket along with sexy pair of boyfriend jeans or high waisted pants is a go to outfit for anytime of the day. I wore a plaid +Promod Italia   jacket with black high waist cigarette pants from  +MANGO  and bandra market kitten heels from Mumbai. Pictures from the shoot...
