Zotiqq January Jewellery Subscription Box Unboxing, Review
Hi guys,
I have unboxed and reviewed a lot of subscription boxes till now on the blog from makeup, beauty to food. This is the first time I am reviewing a jewellery subscription box.
Zotiqq is an online fashion & lifestyle portal where they have monthly jewellery subscription boxes and one can also buy the pieces they like individually. It is the brainchild of a fellow beauty blogger and friend Ritu Rajput, most of you must be knowing her, her blog is called ‘The Indian Beauty’
The Zotiqq jewellery subscription box is priced at Rs.1500/- per month but if you have 3 months, 6 months or 12 months subscription, you get an amazing deal!
Coming to the January subscription box, it was the ‘New Year’ theme and hence had sparkly baubles. Let’s see what they are..
It comes in this royal blue and beige packaging, the box in itself is quite sturdy and nice and good to stock your jewellery or makeup. It comes nicely bubble wrapped and no jewellery was damaged. Each item is individually stored inside the box in a plastic cover, which is nice coz many a times the jewellery gets entangled within each other.
I got 5 items in this month’s box.
First two are a diamante statement neckpiece and matching set of statement earrings which can be worn together or individually.
Red tube mesh filled with rhinestones, statement neckpiece
My favourite from the lot, a statement cocktail ring.
And a pretty hand harness which will work with so many different outfits.
I like the theme based box and getting 4-5 pieces together at a price of Rs.1500/- coz individually these jewellery pieces cost a lot more. Definitely worth your money and I do recommend trying this jewellery subscription box.
I am not sure if the January box would be still available, but you can book the Feb subscription box right now 🙂
Have you tried any Jewellery Subscription Boxes before? What did you like the most?
In the luxury watch industry, the Rado name is a firmly established one. Since its 1917 establishment in a Swiss village, this watchmaker has gone on to scale numerous peaks in watch-manufacturing technology and innovation.
Rado has enjoyed a reputation for flair and ground-breaking technology-driven design ever since they made the world’s first scratch-resistant watch in 1962.
If you’re looking to buy a luxury watch that’s both smart and snazzy, you’ll need to look no further; the Rado selection includes a number of models to suit every taste. Choosing one can get a bit confusing with the sheer variety on offer.
Fret not, though! This guide will give you a short but thorough description of the various Rado product lines. Whether you buy your Rado watches online from retailers like Zimson or from other any other retailer this will help you choose the watch that’s just right for you.
The Rado HyperChrome Line
The design of these watches is inspired by the timeless classics made by Rado in the last century. These watches are the high range designer’s signature models for any occasion.
HyperChrome models come in a number of styles to suit every watch lover’s personal taste, and there are over 70 models on offer.
The pride of this model line are the HyperChrome watches in high-tech ceramic; they do away with the stainless steel core of previous ceramic models. Instead, these are crafted from a single piece of sleek-looking injected ceramic. These models promise comfort, durability, and great looks.
It’s not all male-only, though; smaller date models made especially for ladies include classy diamonds on the bezel, dial, and even the side inserts. There truly is a HyperChrome for everyone!
The DiaMaster Family
Rado’s DiaStar 1, launched way back in 1962, was the world’s first scratch-resistant watch. These DiaMaster timepieces are touted as the new face of an old legend, and more than live up to the expectations.
These stylish and durable versions of the old ultra-durable Rado watches have their own identity: large open dials for great visibility. With that said though, the design is still diverse enough to include large ultra-masculine chronographs and tasteful diamond-studded bijous.
Drawing from Rado’s famed material expertise, your DiaMaster is made from elements like a number of shades of ceramic, or leather or carbon-diffused steel. Given the versatility of these materials, you will have no trouble finding one that suits your tastes.
The Rado V10K
Though this refers not to a series but a model, the V10K is so unique that it warrants its own description here.
Rado has named this model based on its hardness rating; the watch has been scored at 10,000 Vickers, which is as hard as the average diamond! For comparison, stainless steel is rated at 200 on this scale.
It isn’t all hardness and masculine posing though; the V10K has also been carefully designed using sapphires and diamonds.
The Esenza Line
Rado’s Esenza line consists of elegantly designed models that are designed with women in mind, though not exclusively for them. Most Esenza watches are made for women, but men have a few choices here as well.
The design cue here seems to be smooth, sleek, and sensual. This line gave rise to the world’s first ceramic touch-controlled watch. In a world where technological breakthroughs are mostly focused on men, this watch made a significant difference by being designed exclusively for women.
There are diamond-encrusted models in this line as well. Whatever your taste, there’s an Esenza for you.
And That’s Not All…
Rado’s amazing product line contains much more than these lines.
The Ceramica line showcases the company’s material expertise; the Original line consists of a number of modern classics; all the products lines showcase this watchmaker’s dedication to beautiful and innovative devices that are much more than just watches.
Whether you want an uber-masculine large chronograph, a pretty diamond-studded ladies’ watch, or the world’s hardest watch, Rado has got it all.
Buy one today and see for yourself what the hype about these watches is all about!
What do you think of Rado watches? Which one do you like?
Today’s post is quite different, it is not the usual OOTD post, but a post dedicated exclusively to Dungarees. Let me tell all about dungarees, the history, how to dress it up, dress it down.
Starting with the history of dungarees, they have been around since the late 1700’s. Dungarees were worn by farmers, slaves and the likes since they were inexpensive and not prone to easy tear but also carried a stigma of low status for the same reason. Women started wearing them during World Wars coz it was the perfect material for those working in factories. They came back in fashion in the 40’s and 50’s starting with children wear and since then, they have been quite famous and IN and OUT of fashion.
Dungarees are back again in fashion and they come in different types and styles, from shorts to skirts to trousers style, denim style, suspenders, ripped denims, etc. They can be paired in a million ways and can be dressed up or dressed down. Dungarees are easy to wear and super comfortable. See a lot of dungarees here on StalkBuyLove.com
Although they have always mostly been associated with casual style, today I am showing you how I dress up my basic black dungarees for a formal, evening look!
Also we shot this small lookbook 🙂
I am wearing this basic, black trouser style dungarees with a simple white crop top and dressed it up with my trusted black blazer and nude heels. I added a pop of colour with this pastel pink Kate Spade bag. My current favourite wood watch from Jord watches completes this look!
Dungarees, Crop top: StalkBuyLove

I love the look and feel of the wood watch, they work with both casual and formal wear and look quite unique. Jord watches have free shipping worldwide, they customize the watch for your size and have 1 year warranty. Do check out the site mentioned above to see more of their pieces.
Of course, we can’t forget the casual way when it comes to dungarees. I am wearing this denim skirt dungarees in a fun, casual way with a white cap, the ‘Rose Chic’ rose pink back pack and holographic silver shoes. The white tee has red sequin heart on the elbows 🙂
I wear my heart on my elbow 😀
This is more of a ‘Back to School’ kind of look and it was so much fun shooting this.
Queen Of Good Times 🙂

Continuing the bridal series, today’s topic is the fabrics and colours that are perfect for weddings in the winter season. Fabric is the most important when it comes to Indian ethnic wear; also it should be something you are comfortable with, because comfort is most important when it comes to the heavy wedding attire.
There are different options to choose from like organza, mal, suede, silk, crepe, chiffon, georgette, etc. It is quite confusing for a bride to be honest. However, fret not, let me list down the best options for you according to the current wedding season.
1. Organza
Organza is one of the most fluid fabrics and it falls beautifully. It is perfect for the sleeves or as the top layer of your skirt/ghagra/lehenga. It looks amazing as a jacket or cape too. Zardozi work looks beautiful on the organza fabric.
2. Silk
One of the most used fabrics in Indian ethnic wear is silk. There are different types within silk like raw silk, cotton silk, etc. Raw silk looks the best when it comes to choli or the blouse. You can even wear an entire anarkali or ghagra choli of silk.
3. Crepe
Crepe works well for sarees and tunics. Crepe sarees look beautiful, even on curvy women as it gives shape and definition to the body and does not make one look bulky. Long crepe jackets are also a good option for winters.
4. Mal
Mal fabric is the softest and most comfortable for any attire. It is perfect for daytime weddings, though it is slightly on the expensive side, but, for days when you have to be out for a ceremony whole day, mal fabric outfit would be your best bet.
5. Velvet
Velvet is also a perfect fabric for winters. You can add it on the choli’s sleeves or as a thick border for your bottoms.
Coming to colours now…
1. Powder Pink/Blush Pink/Onion Pink
Pastel shades of pink are “in” this season and they look beautiful. Matched up with contrasting colours like navy blue and purple for the bottoms or borders, it makes the outfit stand out.
2. Bright shade of yellow
Oh yes! The sunshine yellow with floral print and appliqué style looks beautiful. Add gota patti border and it notches up the outfit. It is perfect for your mehendi/chooda ceremony. You can easily buy the fabric border and get it stitched as per your design.
3. Ivory/Toasted Almond
Now, ivory is not something you can wear for your functions as light shades are not really considered a good sign by some, but, you can definitely include it in your trousseau. Match it up with a bright red in a saree or anarkali and stand out, on a silk base.
4. Tangerine
Tangerine/Orange is my favourite! Bright orange paired with sunshine yellow/pink looks beautiful. You can go for a lehenga/anarkali in those shades with dull gold zardozi work on it.
5. Emerald Green
Emerald/jewel green is also “in” this season. It compliments lighter colours and makes for a nice contrast. Polki jewellery looks beautiful with an outfit that has a hint of green.
What are your favourite fabrics and colors for winter weddings?
So my birthday was on 22nd and I was in Jaipur that time, I just wanted to share my birthday outfit with you all.
I wore this lace little black dress from StalkBuyLove and paired it with everything gold. Also gold and black was appropriate for the Christmas and Party Season. I am so obsessed with this dress, I would have worn it for New Year Party for sure, sadly no plans :/
I paired it with gold tassel earrings, rose gold watch and a glitter clutch. Also stacked some gold midi rings and my trusted black and gold ankle strap sandals.
We clicked this at Nahargarh Haveli in Jaipur where we were staying for 3 days, it is an old haveli refurbished into an hotel. There are similar other hotels in Jaipur like Nani Ki Haveli, Alsisar, Virasat, etc.
Our first two days were at Zone By The Park and I would be doing a separate post about it, coz the experience was mind blowing.

Mumbai Bridal Diaries: One Stop Destination for the Brides-to-Be
Hi guys,
If you have been following my bridal series, you would have seen a lot of posts related to my wedding. I complete one year of my wedding exactly in a week 🙂
I know exactly how a bride-to-be feels and the thousands of mixed emotions she goes through. And planning her own perfect wedding is what every bride dreams of.
I myself have gone through numerous blogs and wedding magazines, taking inspirations for hair, makeup, jewellery, different kinds of ethnic wear for trousseau,etc. Every bride wants to be different coz things get repetitive easily with styles getting very common these days.
With just weeks or months left until the wedding, a bride’s heart is filled with excitement and anxiety. With the big-date getting closer, you may find her wishful and enthusiastic one moment and then getting nervous the very next second.
I would be sharing a lot of more bridal posts on fabrics to buy, how to plan your trousseau and engagement makeup, etc. So stay tuned for more on my Mumbai Bridal Diaries 🙂
