It’s time for the Black Friday Sales and ShopBop also has their amazing sale just like every year. It starts from 26th Nov and ends on 30th Nov i.e. on Cyber Monday.
You get 20% off on all orders over $200 using the code ‘SHOP20’ and the code ‘CYBER20’ on Monday.
These are on my wish list since a long time and perfect to grab at 20% off, Again will work with everything, I love investing in classic pieces and nude, tan and black are classics that compliment all other colours beautifully. And I am loving the square toe currently.
What’s on your wishlist? What are you planning to buy this Black Friday?
I am doing an OOTD post after months, and quite honestly it’s been all about Instagram of late. Bloggers share everything on Instagram/Instagram stories because it’s much quicker, and reaches many more people and instantly. It’s all about instant gratification, and the new apps are giving what the people want or they didn’t know they wanted?!
I just wanted to talk to you guys and pour my heart out. So this post will random bits and pieces of my life along with this outfit and what I feel about Instagram and Youtube.
I shot this outfit last September, yes it’s been a long time and why I haven’t shared it yet? I had downloaded the pictures but never got around selecting and editing them. Usually if I like 3-4 pictures from one outfit shoot, I will share them on Instagram but if I get like 7-8 good pictures and I love all of them, I will share it in a blog post. I used to share all outfit pics here earlier but as I mentioned Instagram is just quicker, talk about being an easy devil :/
Easy it is, devil you guys know how Instagram has been. Since the last few months, I am not enjoying Instagram at all. You must have seen I used to do one post daily and now I am not so active. Sometimes I don’t even share any stories, the only problem is if I am not active for 3-4 days, Instagram reduces my reach and it becomes so bad that when I start posting, for at least about a week, no one can even see my posts on their feed unless I ‘promote’ that post. So Instagram has taken the Facebook route finally, and now your post won’t reach ‘your own’ followers unless you promote it. It’s like I have to forcefully remain active and post something, so that at least the minimum reach it is giving me anyway, that doesn’t get affected.
And as if Instagram wasn’t enough. Youtube is also doing the same. Apparently even if people are subscribed and sometimes have hit the bell icon as well, youtube doesn’t show your videos in their subscriptions or notify them. I have never been super active on Youtube but I am trying to. I go through those phases but in between 3-4 months I think I didn’t post anything at all, and the same thing happened on youtube, some unsubscribed, some aren’t getting my videos. I am currently getting half the views of what I used to get and it’s really discouraging and demotivating especially because Youtube unlike Instagram takes whole day to shoot, edit, etc. and it’s very time consuming. And then when your videos are seen by hardly 100-200 people even though 8700+ are subscribed, I don’t know how to express but it feels terrible and I thought of quitting youtube and not posting anything at all.
Some bloggers have shifted to IGTV because it’s new and that’s why the reach is much better there. I don’t know, all platforms come up with something new and push it for a year and then again same, paid promotions and push for ads to reach people. Same cycle. Everything is a vicious chain.
Instagram recently banned me for 3 days for apparently some copyright issue and nothing else was mentioned in the email which was a general mail and you cannot contact them or ask them about it. It’s so unfair because all my pictures and content are my own, and I hardly post videos or music and it’s all no copyright music even if I use. I contacted them 15-20 times on the app, of course never got a reply and I also asked my facebook account manager but even she couldn’t help. So for 3 days, I couldn’t post or like or comment, could just see the feed, not even stories.
I realized how Instagram can block the account permanently anytime and there is no solution to it. One cannot rely on Instagram and have to keep all other platforms open and need to have one primary platform i.e. blog/Youtube. Again Youtube also can deactivate your channel/account anytime. How we depend for our life/career on these platforms and how unreliable they are, it’s just scary!
I am trying to post regularly again on both Instagram and Youtube, I know I might go through the quitting/demotivated phase again but I don’t know if there is a solution to this. I would really love for you guys to like and comment on my Instagram and Youtube if you watch my videos and see my posts on Instagram, at least I can see some engagement and might help me push myself. That would mean a lot, I only see some people engage during giveaways and I know who they are. And I know people who regularly and genuinely follow me since years, I know your names, I know who you are and thank you for always supporting me. I really need your support again.
Coming to this outfit, this has to be one of my most favourite outfit/shoot I have done. The red orange colour, the co-ords and how flattering they are for my body type. The location/lighting/hair/makeup everything complimented and worked out so well.
The top has statement sleeves and is adjustable from the front, the skirt is well fitted and can be zipped from the side, it was slightly loose on the waist and I had to be careful there 😀 I loved the feather, leaves, circles, polka dots print on it and it screams summer and vacation, perfect for this season
It’s a super simple outfit and I kept the accessories also minimal and simple because I wanted the focus on the outfit. I paired it with my Daniel Wellington watch and pearl earrings and wore my Kendall and Kylie flat slides. (which I now wear everyday! So comfortable)
Co-ords: Free People Watch: Daniel Wellington Earrings: Kazo Slides: Kendall + Kylie
I hope you liked the outfit, do let me know your thoughts. And what do you think about Instagram/Youtube? Also any engagement would be really helpful and would mean a lot, thank you 🙂

Promotion Code: STOCKUP18
You have to use the code ‘STOCKUP18’ during checkout and it’s valid on both ShopBop and East Dane. The sale starts today, till Sept 29.
I mostly get all my bags and shoes from ShopBop, I have also started buying clothes since some months, fit is always a guess because the size charts are standard where as fit varies brand to brand and internationally returns are difficult. Hence I stuck to bags and shoes for the longest time, but I am liking the outfits a lot too. I usually size up, so most of them are a little big for me but at least I can alter them a bit and wear them.
I recommend Michael Kors, Steven by Steve Madden, Dolce Vita, Levi’s, Sam Edelman, Kendall & Kylie in bags and shoes.
Free People, BB Dakota, Endless Rose, Stylekeepers, etc. in clothes.
I have already placed my order 🙂 What are you planning to get?
ShopBop is back with an amazing end of season sale!
· When: April 10th, 2018 – April 14th, 2018
· What: 20% Off Orders Under $500, 25% Off Orders of $500 or More
· Use Code: EVENT18 at checkout
The sale starts today at 5.30 PM as per IST, since I am a Gold member I got early access and have already placed my order 😀 :happy dance:
I love the fact that they always include ‘Sale’ items on sale, which most websites and brands don’t. This gives us a Sale on Sale, which is an amazing deal and I always make use of that!
I highly recommend getting your designer bags and shoes from ShopBop during this sale time. Over the years, I have got a lot of shoes and bags. I have been investing in good designer outfits and quality pieces now, especially during the sales.
If you like LA based designers and small brands, local boutiques, ShopBop has a lot of them! From Ella Moon to Moon River, Stylekeepers, Susana Monaco.
I have been getting a lot of dresses and fancy tops and skirts from these brands, if you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen quite a few. The recent ones I am yet to shoot, I am also planning to shoot a collective haul video since some time.
Michael Kors
I highly recommend checking out Michael Kors bags, watches and shoes, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, especially if you want to invest in your first designer bag and don’t have too big a budget for LV’s and Chanel’s. My Michael Kors bags literally last me years and I use them every single day! And they still look good as new.
What is your pick from the sale? Are you eyeing something?
