I am back with an OOTD. I have seen palazzos doing rounds since a long time,I always felt they look good only on taller and leaner women like maxi dresses, and hence never tried them.
This time, I thought, why not give it a try and I saw this beautiful floral palazzos and fell in love with them. This navy blue lace crop top matched perfectly with the palazzos and also the fit was amazing,it hugged the body snuggly. The upper part was lace which played a peek-a-boo.
The palazzos are so,so comfortable. light and airy. I feel I can wear them everyday, even in these summers.
Since the top and bottoms were lace and floral, I did not accessorize much and just went with my classic watch and tan brogues. And my favourite companion MK Selma Mini.
I wore this at the Pantene event last week, and we also met the super hot Lisa Haydon.

The Body Shop Sleepover with Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask
Hi guys,
So yesterday night I had a sleepover with The Body Shop! Not literally :p But, the lovely people at The Body Shop had sent a surprise box and a letter for a sleepover. That’s all I knew, coz the box and letter was to be opened only when they told us the sleepover would be, and it was yesterday night.
As I read the letter first, I had to rip apart the box immediately, I couldn’t contain my excitement looking at all the cute stuff. See what all I got:
A #BounceBackBeautiful tote bag
A #BounceBackBeautiful Cute Pillow to hug me 😀
A mug
Hot Chocolate! (My favourite thing in the kit)
A stress busting ball
Super cute Pink eye mask (Yes, pink :p)
The Body Shop Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask
The letter it came with..
The Body Shop Drops of Youth falls under their ‘Nutriganics’ Range.
About the product: Discover our Drops of Youth™ Bouncy Sleeping Mask, enriched with Edelweiss stem cells. Designed to be left on while you sleep, this overnight mask leaves skin looking bouncier and feeling replenished. Discover how this mask will bounce your skin back to youth. • Youth-enhancing formula for bouncier, younger-looking skin • Unique bouncy, memory shape texture • To complete your skin care routine, pair perfectly with Nutriganics Drops of Youth Concentrate and Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate
MRP: Rs.2295/-
How to use: Smooth onto face before bed either alone or after Drops of Youth™ Concentrate, and allow to sink in overnight. Do not wash off. For best results, wait 15 minutes before going to bed.
Here is a video that shows exactly how to use it:
It is white in color and gel-like in texture, feels bouncy indeed, difficult to get the product with hands. It comes with a small, white spatula. I used 2 small spatulas and massaged the product on the skin the same way as in the video. I let it absorb on the skin while I enjoyed my hot chocolate 🙂
Here is a picture of me with the mask on and the ‘After‘ is the morning ‘just washed with water’ face. The difference in light is due to night time and day time light. Also, you can see the shine on the face in the pic with the mask as it was still getting absorbed.
L-with the mask, R- Morning Just ‘washed’ face
My skin indeed felt softer,hydrated and smoother. There was no dryness or stretchiness and skin looked refreshed.
I like the fact that it comes with a spatula which makes it hygienic and easy to get the product. But it comes in a heavy glass jar, so it is not exactly travel friendly.
I was very happy with the ‘Sleepover’ idea and the kit, one of the best ideas by The Body Shop. Also, this is one of the best kits I have ever received from a brand.
I actually slept very peacefully yesterday after ages, I don’t know what exactly worked for me, but no nightmares haunting me (Which has been happening since a lot of days, the same old ‘accident’ scenes) and I slept for a long,long time 😀
Thank you The Body Shop for the kit and the sleepover idea.
I loved the mask and I am going to continue using it, would update you guys.
Need a packing list for your get away this summer?
A perfect summer vacation has to have a nice, comfy, trendy shorts. Denims, of course, I live in them! Shirt dresses are quite IN these days and super comfortable too, for your travels or just a day of backpacking. That remind me of backpacks, again perfect to carry along, and you can just wear them behind and forget about it and be comfortable.
Here are a few compilations that will help you in remembering #WhatToPack 😀
I lovee shoes and if you are a shoe addict like me, of course you cannot forget them. Sandals, sneakers are your best bet for summers, also very comfortable for walking when you are on a vacation.
#Shopbop Shoes Day: Every Tuesday of the week as they celebrate the most versatile footwear season of the year. Here are some styles worthy of mention for your summer outdoor adventures!
Then there are some skincare essentials like a sunscreen,moisturiser,etc. A hat, sunglasses and a sipper (water is the most important) are also very much a necessity.
Let me know your #WhatToPack essentials in the comments below 🙂
Today I am showing you 3 casual outfits which I have been wearing of late.
Outfit 1:
A blue ‘Cinderella’ t-shirt dress from Disney and Kook N Keech collaboration for Myntra. I paired it with my tan brogues and Michael Kors Selma. I added a glitter gold belt to define the waist and give a shape to the dress. And my Daniel Wellington watch and a gold and black layered statement neck piece.
Dress: Myntra
Belt, Shoes: Foot-in
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Necklace: Shop Miss A
Outfit 2:
Second outfit is more of an androgynous look. I have paired a white tee with my blue denims, and layered with a men’s blue tartan cotton shirt from Zobello. Zobello is an online men’s clothing wear site, where you get everything from formal to casual to party wear shirts, trousers, sports wear, shorts, sweat shirts, etc. I love adding a men’s shirt as a layer to my outfit and there are so many other ways to wear your man’s shirt 😉 I love how comfortable and soft the material is and it is quite thick and pure cotton, hence very comfortable and perfect for summer layering.
The only feminine element I have added in this outfit to break the androgyny is this silver semi- precious stones cuff from Silvette. How super pretty is this cuff! I absolutely love it. The shoes and watch are the same as in the above look. I wore this outfit to the Levis’ event a few days ago.
Tee: Marks & Spencer
Denims: Forever 21
Shirt: Zobello
Cuff: Silvette
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Shoes: Foot-in (Also seen HERE)
Outfit 3:
Third outfit is this simple, teal colored dress from Dressberry which I bought during the Myntra sale for some 275 rupees 😀 I paired it with a simple,thin black belt and this gorgeous statement necklace from Rosabelle Treasures. I completed the look with my Daniel Wellington watch, Michael Kors selma mini and metallic gold Vans. I love the combination of teal and gold, the shoes perfectly complimented the dress.
I wore this outfit to the Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Collection launch a few weeks ago.
Dress: Dressberry (Myntra)
Necklace: Rosabelle Treasures (Also seen HERE)
Bag: Michael Kors Selma mini
Shoes: Vans (Also seen HERE)
Watch: Daniel Wellington
I just realised after putting this post together, that all three outfits are shades of blue! Its like, 50 shades of blue :p :cheesy much:

I did a small haul from Bornprettystore.com, which is a site that stocks everything from nail art, accessories,makeup brushes, beauty stuff, toys,watches and even clothing. If you love nail art, you will find innumerable options and you will be stuck on the site whole day 😀
Here is what all I got:
A cute,tiny, PINK eyelash curler. I wanted to try this kind of eyelash curler since a long time and also it is quite handy to be carried in your bag.
A polka dots, pink retractable lip brush. Again it is very tiny and goes in my handbag 🙂
A beauty blender dupe (wanted to try it, lets see how it works)
A multi layered, braided bracelet. It has anchor, infinity, etc., very cute.
My favourite is this pearl tasseled hand harness. This is so pretty, I am going to wear this a lot!
And last but not the least, a Pedi Spin. Its a handy tool for at- home pedicures, comes with a polishing and a finishing plate, and 12 extra polishing pads. I know Scholl has Express Smooth Velvet Pedi but this is like 1/6th the price :p
You can get 10% off on bornprettystore.com using my coupon code ‘KKAG10’ 🙂
They have beautiful accessories, inexpensive makeup brushes and a lot of tools for nail art. The best thing is they have Free Shipping worldwide! And your order gets dispatched in a day, though it is usually sent through post, so takes about 3-4 weeks to arrive.

As you all know, I have been talking a lot about the Reliance Trends Spring Summer Collection 2015. We were invited at the Bandra Reliance Trends store to check out and review the collection and pick our favourites and style them 🙂
New Reliance Trends Collection included the brands Rio,Fig, Intribe, Fusion, DNMX and Team Spirit.
Rio has bright coloured tops and tees. Fig has nice summery tunics, sheer crop tops, harem pants,etc. DNMX was all about denim, from printed (polka dots too :p) denims to all types of pants, shorts and also nice denim shirts which mostly all of us picked 😀 It is perfect for layering in summers since quite thin and breathable. Intribe had floral numbered tops, lots of sheer and sequin and even faux leather. Fusion obviously had the Indo-western look and feel with bright skirts, shirts, kurtis,etc. And lastly, Team Spirit was all about casuals and sporty. Numbered tees, hoodie vests,stripes, etc.
For creating this look, I went went a vertical striped numbered tee from Team Spirit. I love how the number has an ombre effect <3 And paired it with blue skinny denims from DNMX, the ombre blue number on the tee matches and balances the outfit.
I paired it with my bright black and pink floral statement necklace, a classic watch, a pretty stone silver ring and studded black pumps. The reflecting sunnies steal the show though 😀 Absolutely loved the mirror reflecting round sunglasses.
The best part is all the brands are quite affordable and do not burn a hole in your pocket. The stuff is perfect for everyday wear and there is something for everyone,from sporty Team Spirit to trendy Fig and DNMX to Indo- western Fusion. You guys also have a chance to win this look and/or the looks created by other bloggers starting from 13th and going till 17th May on the Reliance Trends facebook and twitter. Go follow now 😉

This is what I wore at the L’Oreal Paris You Cannes event. I absolutely love midi skirts and this printed pleated midi looks oh so pretty! So many asked me where is it from, and I anyways wanted to do an outfit post with it, so here it is.
This skirt is from CNDirect.com. I love their collection, they have amazing stuff at such reasonable prices. From clothing,bags, accessories, sunglasses to even cool gadgets and electronics, they stock everything. I was wary of the quality, but then they are so good quality wise too! I still have more things from CNDirect for future OOTD’s, wait for them 😉
I love the house and lake print on this skirt, there were 4 print options. (Click on the link given in outfit breakdown below to check the options) I was a bit confused as to which print I should go for, since all looked good.
I paired it with a white shirt, I was supposed to pair it with some other white shirt but I forgot that at my mom’s place, hence went for a backup :p
I am not allowed to wear high heels currently for 2-3 months, so I got these smallest nude heels from Foot-in for few of my dresses. If you follow me on twitter, you must have seen the Foot-in collection I shared there. I have another awesome pair which you guys will see soon! Foot-in is so affordable and I loved the variety they had, plus the quality is good too. These are so light on the feet. I was not sure if I would be able to wear heels currently, but this was pretty comfortable. Foot-in also has bags,belts and sunglasses. I got a super pretty, gold glitter belt too 😀
Accessory wise, I only wore this huge,super pretty statement necklace from Rosabelle Treasures. I soo love each and every neck piece they stock. Do check them out on facebook HERE or on Instagram HERE, you will surely be tempted to buy 2-3 😉 And you do not need any other accessory when you wear Rosabelle Treasures neckpieces, they are more than enough and will take your outfit from simple to glam, in an instant.
Future of Fashion in Mobile-only world and what it means for you, as the consumer?
Hey guys,
I was thinking of how everything these days is turning mobile-friendly..especially shopping. A large percentage of people these days prefer shopping online from the comfort of their home or office or while travelling through their mobiles on apps.
We even have fashion shows online now, like the recent Masaba Gupta show at Lakme Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015 which was the first show to be showcased live on Instagram for people around the globe to watch it! Isn’t that a cool concept?!
I guess everything around is soon turning digital. How many of you shop online on your mobile through e-commerce site apps? I do! It is quite easy and convenient, shopping on the go.
There are so many things to come up in India, while some of them are already in use in countries like US. E.g.: QR codes. While shopping anywhere in stores, you can scan the bar code of the product through your mobile and you get redirected to the website and the product page where you actually get the same item,cheaper! It will automatically place the order for you in one click and the product would be delivered at your place the next day. Awesome,right?
There are also things like digital fitting rooms which help you actually check the size with the help of 3D image and virtual mirror through your mobile’ s camera. So many people have become entrepreneurs today by having their own e-commerce site or a page on facebook /Instagram where they sell or re-sell products and also as a buyer, you might get a lot of stuff, which you were always looking for and also quite a few options to get the best price from. So consumers get many many options and choices now.
Coming to mobile apps, there are so many apps right now from creating your wishlist from e-commerce sites and helping you get the outfit at a lowest possible price to sending the best sales,discounts,vouchers, gift cards from 100’s of sites to helping you shop according to your body type and giving you the best fashion advice. There are just lots of apps for all your fashion needs. For e.g. Roposo which helps you find fashion products all over the web according to your taste, Klip where you can clip in products you like while browsing on your customized boards,Magzter which gives you access to high end magazines and feed from Vogue India, Harper’s Bazaar,etc, Polyvore which helps you create fashion sets,so you can understand what would look good and work with what items.
And and how do you forget us! The beauty/fashion bloggers..we are here to help update you on everything from new launches to what’s happening around, the latest trends and even reviewing the products if they are worth your hard earned money. So, checking reviews on your mobile while hitting that ‘Buy’ button helps you save some moolah 😀 Subscribe to us now, for getting all our latest posts directly in your mail box 😀 Also fashion outfit posts, what to pair with what, what works for which body type, where to buy something you liked, how to accessorize, the right kind of bags and shoes, we are here for all your fashion needs 🙂
And last but not the least, e- commerce shopping sites. Myntra is one e- commerce website that is already planning the big leap to become mobile-only shopping platform in India. I hope that happens soon, can’t wait to see the response.
What do you, as a consumer, feel about the future of fashion in a mobile-only world?
This month’s Fab Bag is a nice nine to 9 office from day to night look kind of concept. Something which you can keep in your office bag or drawer. Its a leopard print black and white bag.
MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Offers on 6 months and 12 months subscription. Go HERE)
Malavara Shower Gel (Rs.300) and Body Lotion (Rs.390/-) in Lime Vetiver- 60ml each
City Color Blush Quad in the Shade Coral (Full size)- Rs.500/-
Denman Hair Brush – Rs.475/-
Chambor Body Mist in Tender Tuberose (10ml)- Rs.595/- for 200ml
My most favourite product out of all these was the Blush Quad in Coral which is a gorgeous mix of peach,pink and beige. How pretty does it look!
I also loved the Denman brush, I thought it might not be that good since it does not have cushion or padding at the base, but it is pretty decent. I would have loved it if it would have been foldable.
The Lime-Vetiver Shower Gel and Body Lotion Duo by Malvara smells really good and is perfect for carrying in your office bag or while you are travelling.
Coming to the Chambor Body Mist, it had all leaked when I got it, so I remain with just 2-3 ml of the product. It smells good and thankfully it was in bubble wrap, so has not leaked out in the bag or mixed with other products.
Overall I would say this month’s bag is totally worth it! The blush quad and hair brush are total value for money. Can’t wait for the May Fab Bag already 😀 These guys are getting better and better each day with the concepts, bags and kind of products. Its a pleasure to receive a bag and unveil it every month and then finding such useful and value for money products worth every penny of the bag!
Have you tried the Fab Bag yet? What did you get in your April Fab Bag?
OOTD: Zovi Mustard Yellow Top with Gold Accessories
Hey guys,
A new OOTD, this time a pretty mustard yellow top from Zovi.com. I have shopped quite a lot of times from Zovi till date. I also got a very pretty polka dots dress and these blue and black ballerinas with this top for #BlogForZovi
I tried the shoes and they were a size smaller,so I had to exchange them. Though the process was smooth, it did take some time. Also I did not bother to try the dress before coz it was the usual size I order from Zovi and this top is of the same size. Unfortunately the dress is smaller and that is the first time I have faced it with Zovi.
Usually they have a measurement recommendation guide where you enter your stats and they recommend you the perfect size. Even that recommendation suggested the usual size. I really wanted to wear the dress and show it you guys in this post 🙁 I have initiated an exchange process again, I hope it happens quicker this time. I will surely do another OOTD with that dress 😀
Coming to this package, the process of ordering on Zovi is quite smooth since it is very user friendly and the navigation is also easy. They usually give you an expected delivery date but I have always received my parcels before the expected date.
I love this mustard yellow top with ruffled sleeve pattern and a gold button on the sides. It is simple and chic and can be accessorized well like I have here. Also these blue and black ballerinas with a buckle on top are comfortable and pretty, would go with a lot of casuals.
I paired the look with my gold accessories from Regium and my new Michael Kors Selma sling.
