What the Company claims: A daring and mysterious fragrance in a light eau de toilette, featuring an intoxicating blend of cruelty-free musk with sinuous notes of black smoky rose and tobacco flower.
Seductive floral-musk scent
Contains cruelty-free musk
Light eau de toilette
MRP: Rs.1395/- for 30ml & Rs.1695/- for 60ml
I have been using this from almost 3-4 months now. The White Musk Smoky Rose comes in both EDT and EDP form like other scents from The Body Shop. EDT is milder and lighter whereas EDP is a little more heavier in terms of scent/fragrance (more concentrated)
Top notes are bergamot, pink pepper and black currant; middle notes are tobacco blossom, black rose, orange blossom and immortelle; base notes are olibanum and white musk.
I quite like the cute pink packaging too. Its very small and handy to carry along anywhere.
I love white musk smell but it can be a little heavy at times. When blended with this floral and fruity notes, it balanced the white musk smell. ‘Smoky’ is what the tobacco flower in this gives a hint of.
Its neither too sweet nor too floral or fruity. Like everything is in perfect proportion. You have a hint of fruity, floral, manly white musk, smoky tobacco but all subtly balanced.
I quiet love this ! Its something unique and nice. Only issue is it does not stay long on me, max 3-4 hours. So lacks on the longevity and sillage department. I wish it stayed longer. Perhaps I would try the EDP next time.
Highly recommend this. If you are someone who does not like too floral or fruity fragrance and you like white musk, this is the perfect balance.
Have you tried The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose EDT ?
I am back with an OOTD. After a break, this time. :p
Has the culottes trend caught on you ? It has on me, and luckily I found an old floral one in my wardrobe while cleaning and organizing it. 😀 One of the advantage of cleaning your wardrobe 😉
I went to the L’Oreal Research & Innovation Centre few days back for where we were shown how the hair color is made and the process,etc (basically the research and the things that happen backdoors). And this is what I chose to wear, since it was raining. Nothing beats a pair of pretty, floral culottes when its raining and you need something cotton, comfy and easy to dry.
There’s a difference between gaucho pants and culottes. Gaucho Pants (generally calf length and high waist) are slightly fitted from the top and only flare towards the bottom, whereas Culottes are fully flared and look more like a skirt. (basically a shorter version of palazzo pants).
I paired it with a white studded top and a pretty multi colored statement necklace. Only a watch to complete the look. And red and mint jelly flats since these are the best in rains/monsoons.
The statement necklace is from The Klick Store, owned by Karishma Lakdawalla. Check them out on facebook HERE, they have an unique collection of necklaces, earrings, charm bracelets,hair clips, etc. Not the usual stuff you find everywhere, coz Karishma herself makes them ! Yes, all handmade. Super cool stuff. I loved this piece personally coz it can be paired with so many things and complements many outfits.
I hope you liked the outfit. You will find a lot of culottes these days in Zara too. Have you bought one ? How do you style it ? Do share the pics/ideas in the comments below 🙂
Most of you, in India,must be knowing Sia and must have also bought something or the other from them. I have bought quite a few earrings from Sia for my daily wear and I love the quality. It comes with 6 months warranty and the jewellery never loses its color or the diamonds don’t come out, even if I wear them daily.
Sia Jewellery.com has revamped their website and now we have an all new Siajewellery.com
I like how they have different tabs for individual items like earrings, necklaces, gifts, offers, etc.
‘New In’ tab has their latest collection and they also have bifurcation with Product Type, where they have Eid Collection, Heritage Collection, Spunky Collection, etc.
They have a new Sale section, Flat 50 Store, Editor’ pick Section, New In, Bridal section, etc.
I love the pieces in the Editor’s pick section. And the Flat 50 store is the best. There are some steal deals you just cannot resist. I have already added a few in my wishlist option on the site and planning a haul soon. I think the Flat 50 section is definitely one should not miss !
Currently, Sia has 25 stores all over India. They accept all forms of payment but do not have Cash on Delivery yet sadly. I hope they start that soon. The shipping charges are Rs.95/- per 500g within India and for international orders, depending on the country. I am glad they ship internationally too. If any of you live outside India and want to buy some good Indian jewellery, then now you know where to shop from ! Shipping within India takes 3-4 days.
I think its very helpful for someone who does not have a Sia store around their location. And for lazy bums like me who prefer online shopping. And I have also found some better steal deals at times online 😉
Have you checked out the all new Siajewellery.com ? Your views ?
I have paired this orange peplum top with my black denims and black ankle strap suede wedges. This current favorite gold metallic belt and a gold chain bracelet, gold and diamante statement necklace completed the look and of course, my black bag.
I love this orange peplum top, have been wearing it a lot these days. Its quite comfortable and looks chic too. The fit is nice and the fabric is soft and smooth too. It has a deep U back and can be paired with pencil skirts, denims, maxi skirts and in so many ways.
Its by Femella. You guys must have come across Femella on Myntra, Flipkart, Jabong, Fashionara, Junglee and quite a few sites. They have their own site too from which they retail directly. I love their collection. There are very few brands in India that cater to the latest fashion trends, have all the new collections and are budget friendly too. And for those who are not into international shopping and customs from sites like Asos, etc, we have our very own affordable Indian brand that comes to our rescue. I have bought a lot of Femella clothing before too, for the very reason.

I know I had done the summery floral dress OOTD recently. But since, I had done that after a long time, I have few more for you guys. There is one more this week 😀
I am loving slouchy pants this season. I have loved them in summers and they are still good for the rains, if they are cropped. Reason: They don’t stick like denims, they are thinner so they dry quickly and are super super comfy. I already have a polka dot one but in black base. See HERE. This one is in white..and I bought another plain peach slouchy pants from the Zara sale. :p
I paired them with this faux leather black peplum top which has a triangle knot cut out at the back. And completed it with my favorite leopard metal and leather statement necklace and my trusted black bag.
Its more of a ‘casual comfy meet goth’ kinda look.
Added the Daniel Wellington watch and my current favorite Solester flats.
More about Solester.com: “My new footwear is so damn cool but still i can’t wear it with every dress.” #EveryGirlsProblem
Solester is a one of its kind transformable footwear that demonstrates a new horizon in the Indian footwear industry. As the tagline – The joy of changing it, often clearly implies, the footwear allows for changing multiple uppers on a single sole. It’s perceived to be a dream come true for a women who has to everyday match her dress with a matching shoe.
The uppers are made from high quality leather with comfort and style forming the sole basis of the product. It brings out the designer self in you and allows for a mix and match to create many different looks in accordance with the dress and mood that you are wearing.
With the patent pending technology, the uppers are attached to the robust and comfortable sole safely without compromising on the quality and style. Solester is a result of a dedicated 2 years spent on research and product iterations by a team of dedicated designers and engineers each having experience of more than 10 years in the footwear industry. Here every design is unique and speaks for itself on comfort, style and quality.
The innovative transformable system allows for a purchase of one sole and then purchase of multiple uppers later, in accordance to the mood or need. It saves you:
Money : By giving you the freedom to buy only uppers Space : So you can keep more stuff in the closet and travel bags
“Give a women the right shoes and she can conquer the world” – Marliyn Monroe.
Our goal was clear from day 1 – the shoe must score 10/10 on comfort, style and durability without exception. Countless iteration, endless hours and infinite round of testing for a period of over 2 years finally gave us what we required.
Almost certain that we finally wanted to give birth to this idea and what followed was the beginning
of Solester’s Journey. The journey of spreading the joy – The joy of changing it, often.
If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen them in my updates too..
I think its a superb idea. I got one pair of uppers too. And I can buy more uppers and just change them, and get new shoes 😉 How cool! Though they are not exactly cheap, but its pure leather. So when you expect amazing quality, you need to shell a few bucks. Plus its only once for the soles. Later you just need to buy the uppers. And they have free shipping and flat 20% off currently for a limited period of time. (Use the code ‘Solester55’). They also have free returns withing 7 days if you have size issue or something. And I just saw that they have 30% off on few uppers..the white Lauren upper is for Rs.699/- currently.
Btw, I also tried a print on print..with stripes and polka dots..I think its looks pretty decent..whaddya think ?

They have stores for both men and women, individually. And they also stock shoes, bags, scarves, sunglasses, clutches, cute hair pins, belts, etc..
The long statement chains..
And statement necklaces..
I was strolling in the store for more than an hour..admiring everything. The shoes and bags were so amazing, I could’nt get my eyes off them.
These color block heels were my favorite..and the floral brogues too !
And the sunglasses too. I tried this one and loved it.
Loved the bags..
And the statement envelope clutches too..
Their new statement earrings..
Some of their earrings are perfect for Indian wear.The green ones I got last time work with 1-2 anarkalis of mine and looks fab.
Colorful belts..
Scarves..
And the hair pins too would work great with Indian wear..
What I got :
Round Rose Gold earrings
Rose Gold Linked Bracelet
Yellow Stone Earrings (Again something which would work with both Indian and western wear)
Cute Stone Studded Hair pins
I would say its a paradise for someone who loves jewellery, accessories, bags and shoes. (And I guess every girl falls in that category :D). And you must check out the Addons store nearest to you. You won’t come back empty handed surely.
Would also like to add that their prices are pretty economical too. And if you search a little, you can find some amazing buys in your budget.
Did you like my haul ? Have you been to/shopped from AddOns store before ?
I am back with an OOTD after a long time. Monsoons have officially begin in Mumbai..though it was on/off before and then there were no rains for a month. That was the time I was wearing this summery floral dress.
Though the rains are unstoppable right now, but again we would see some days of normal Mumbai summer soon 😀
I love the green base and the floral paisley motifs in red,pink and purple on this dress. Also, its more like a casual shirt dress. Its so comfortable and looks pretty too. And has an interesting back.
I paired it with this long gold and silver knot chain necklace, a small blue and silver bracelet, silver midi rings, an orange chrysanthemum flower brooch as a hair accessory. And completed the look with my purple wedges.
Its also very beachy/Hawaiian kinda look I feel :p I think I badly need a holiday.

Shop for Bridal Lingerie,Bikini,etc from PrivyPleasures.com
Yes, you read it right. Since, I am getting married in 5 months, bridal lingerie shopping was also obviously on my list. And I would not like to shop for that with my mom, of course :p That would be so embarrassing.
I can go with my girlfriends. My friend who got married last year, spent a bomb at La Senza. I have shopped for some things before from La Senza and from another good site for shopping lingerie.
This time, I shopped from another site,I got the opportunity to review and at the right time, coz I was anyways looking for some bridal lingerie. Also, if you have a beach holiday planned for your honeymoon, a good bikini is also something, you need in your collection.

They have some pretty se*y bikinis and lingerie sets, night gowns, lacy see throughs, g strings and also role play costumes. You will find the raunchiest stuff here. And if you not into those, you can still find something hot for yourself. They have a separate bridal lingerie section too.
I got this turquoise blue sheer mesh chemise with open-back, lace hem, ruched satin overlay, and rhinestone accents. I can’t describe how se*y it looks and feels ! I just love it <3
I also liked this lace pajama set and did buy it along with the turquoise blue chemise..but the pyjamas were slightly tight and I had to return them..so got the bikini later..
The shopping experience was easy. I got the stuff delivered in a day through FedEx. And they have free shipping above Rs.500/- below which they have Rs.50/- shipping cost. Though not happy with the fact that they charge Rs.100/- extra for COD. For online payment, no additional charges.
I am happy with the stuff..and most of the stuff is free size, so not much of an issue with that. I definitely recommend checking out the site whether you are searching for good lingerie or bikinis which are on an affordable side. Or better still, why not let your husband or would-be surf the site and decide 😉
Where do you shop for lingerie from ? Your favorite store ? Online or in stores ?
P.S: I was offered a voucher but that has not affected my opinion.

You can flaunt a different eye colour each time you go to a party or any special occasion.
I had specs from my 4th standard and there were only these 2-3 opticians in your local market in those days. A proper ophthalmologist would check your power and prescribe the number. And then you go to the optician, and select one out of the 10-15 boring frames !! Like, literally boring. I have even worn Gandhiji glasses :hides face:
But, gone are those days now ! With everything being online these days, why should your glasses, lenses or branded shades be far away. Now, you can get the design you want, the brand you want, the color, the look, there are so many options and just a click away. With a site like Lenskart.com, you can stock your contact lenses or buy the frame you like and get it delivered at your doorstep, plus I guess, you always save some bucks with those extra discounts and coupons (I do :D)
Many people these days love to experiment with colored lenses, those are easily available too. And some drool worthy shades from Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Tifosi, Oakley, Vogue, etc..The collection of Ray Ban sunglasses at lenskart.com is pretty awesome. Surely worth checking out.
You can see the different views from a 360 degrees angle and also on your own pic before buying. They also have a try and buy policy which means you pay cash on delivery, only if you try it and like it. I love that !
I am really loving those cat eyed geeky glasses these days and eyeing one from Lenskart. Definitely getting it.
