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:
This is kind of like a summer fashion lookbook too. If you like more of such casual outfits compilation, do let me know 🙂

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

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?

I loved the simple pearl pieces and the beautiful temple jewellery she stocks. I love temple jewellery and I feel it looks amazing with a simple South Indian saree. Also the fact that her prices are pretty reasonable compared to other online facebook stores.
I bought these pretty pieces recently from her store recently. They were neatly packed in separate plastic covers with bubble wrap and all together in a bigger plastic box.
This beautiful red and black beaded tribal necklace is my most favourite! How pretty and statementy is it! Can’t wait to pair it with my simple tees and shirts as this is more than enough and a statement in itself.
A white and gold layered pearl statement bracelet, a pair of gold and white square earrings. Isn’t that design quite cute.
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.
About Saree.com: Saree.com is a one stop shop for women’s ethnic and lifestyle needs. They aim to offer you most genuine and adorable garments for all the occasions.
When I was searching for ethnic wear for my wedding trousseau a few months back, very few sites online interested me. I liked Triveni Sarees and 1-2 other, but not many options were availble. Recently I stumbled upon Saree.com and I am hooked on to the site!
They stock everything from anarkalis to designer sarees to lehengas and even evening gowns! Evening gowns was something I could not find anywhere and I was searching them desperately for my cocktail. I wish I would have known Saree.com before 🙁
This costs just Rs.2395/-, unbelievable right! Also you can get it stitched the way you want, a shorter choli if you want to show your lehenga or like a longer salwar which is quite IN these days.
Ok, I love yellow in ethnic wear and especially yellow and pink combination. I think it looks fabulous, and this saree is a perfect blend of colors and the embroidery work on it looks really pretty.
Aren’t these pieces amazing, and there are many many more. You will be spoilt for choice 😀 Absolutely loved the collection on saree.com and definitely shopping here the next time I need to buy ethnic wear. Highly recommended.
Also, I have a special coupon code for you guys which will let you avail INR 500 off on your cart value above 500. Its ‘SPCL500’ valid over next 30 days.
Have you checked out Saree.com yet? Which one is your favourite?
