OOTD: Polka Dots Bandage Crop Top, Daniel Wellington Watch
Hey guys,
Back with a crop top OOTD. Remember my leopard print one HERE. This is my second crop top.(One more pineapple print is on its way :p) You know how much I love polka dots and stripes!
I had also shared some tips on how to wear a crop top in my previous post. Crop tops are skirt’s best friend, be it midi or normal pencil.
I paired this white bandage polka dots crop top (bandage gives a nice peek a boo effect and hardly shows skin) with a basic black pencil skirt.
A candy orange sling was the perfect bright accessory to break the monochrome. My Classic St. Andrews Lady Daniel Wellington stacked up with a spiked and pearl bracelet completed the look.
My new shoes! How I love them <3 Black suede block heels with metallic gold ankle strap went well with the outfit. I wore them to Lakme Fashion Week and everyone complimented the shoes and asked where are they from :p They are so versatile and match with everything. Plus super comfy.
Top: Faballey (Available in black too)
Skirt: Faballey
Sling: Faballey
Shoes: Blackfive
Watch: Daniel Wellington (You can win one HERE)
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 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 ?
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.
About: PrivyPleasures, Is a place where you can find products for all your fantasy needs. It’s the Indian online Shop where you can find everything from rare to find exotic lingerie, costumes, stocking to any accessories you may need.

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.

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:

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.
A new OOTD..this time with a maxi dress..I have only shot one striped maxi before and yet to post that..so actually, the 1st maxi dress outfit I am wearing here..
Few girls believe maxi dresses and palazzos are not for short girls and they only look good on tall girls..well let me tell you, its nothing like that. It all depends on how you carry it..everything can look good equally on shorter girls..not all of us are born tall and that does not deprive us of wearing these amazing stuff, trust me.
Some tips for short girls on how to wear a maxi dress:
Go for vertical prints.which run from top to bottom
Sheer fabric towards the bottom
Slim fit (or cinch with a belt)- You don’t want to look like you are stuck in a tent!
Wedge it up- You can add a fun pair of wedges or block heels (But stick to flats if its a beachy kind dress)
Hi low maxi dresses (Well these are very flattering on the petite girls)
Solid colors and colors close to your skin tone give you a taller appearance
So, go all out and try out those maxis, you fella short sistas 😀 And do share your pics with me 🙂
I am wearing a cut out printed maxi dress here, which has shades of red and green. I love this color combo..and the fabric is so soft to touch. It has a black knee length lining so makes it half sheer which is quite IN and looks chic. Only I wish the fit was more better..it could have been slightly flowy but cinched at the waist..and the upper part could have been more fitted.
I paired it with pop blue earrings and red and mint flats (since its more beachy kinds..you can always accessorize in a different way and add wedges for a different look) and kept it simple on the accessories front with just one gold bracelet and a gold headband..since the dress was to grab the attention.
OOTD: Gray Fuchsia Glitter Saree (Imaginary Red Carpet ?)
Hey everyone,
I am back with an OOTD..this time a saree! I have done one in an yellow saree long back HERE.
This time its a beautiful gray and fuchsia pink saree with a heavy glitter border..this is so perfect for parties, receptions,etc..
Its from TriveniSarees.com. They have an amazing collection of sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas and even jewellery and accessories. They have also brought a few designers on board..so you see designer wear too..and not only that, you have mens wear, kids wear and bed linen too..its like a one stop shop..good for brides too..perfect trousseau shopping place..this saree is also going to be a part of my trousseau. They also have plain brocade and digital print material which they sell per metre. They do the fall edging of the saree for free..and you can buy a standard cotton petticoat along for Rs.150 extra and get the blouse stitched for Rs.600 extra. And if you are the types who have difficulty wearing a saree, you can get the saree prestitched and the stitched blouse both for Rs.1000 extra. You just need to slip into the saree 😀 Cool, is’nt it ?
And the blouse is a normal silver one..which I got designed by my tailor..the design turned out good but not the fit :/ :Sigh: These tailors!
I paired it with silver mesh earrings and a simple gold and silver kada any my Titan Raga watch..And and my hot pink Valentino dupes!! OMG I can’t describe how high the heel is..killing feet literally..how do models walk in them is a big mystery to me! :/
Coming to the makeup, I used the new L’oreal Paris L’Or Lumiere Collection (read HERE) which consists of new Gel Matic Eye Pencils and Moist Mat Lipsticks. I have used the Gel Matic in Turbo Turquoise (other 4 shades in this range are Deep Brown, Silver Mania, Glamor Gold and Blue Force) and the Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss here (Lincoln Rose, Glamour Fuchsia and Raspberry Syrup are my other favorites from this range..supposedly Aishwarya Rai wore Lincoln Rose with her first golden Roberto Cavalli gown at the Cannes 2014).
The Gel Matic Pencil in Turbo Turquoise is quite a nice vibrant turquoise shade..and glides on smooth too, was very easy to apply and it stayed put on the upper lashline throughout the day and was difficult to remove too..but does not stay long on the waterline.
Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss is a reddish orange..not too ‘in your face’ kinda bright..but very wearable one..I loved it! Its super pigmented and goes full out in one swipe. Though it stays 3-4 hours and with eating and drinking about 2 hours. But, easy to reapply,no patchiness or dry lines.
I used a satin taupe eyeshadow on the eyes and lined my upper lashline and half the lower lashline with the Gel Matic in Turquoise and the Flaming Kiss Lipstick.
Please excuse my hair..I know they look weird here :/
Sorry for the changes in lighting..the sun was dancing..and also if you feel my foundation is lighter, let me tell you its not. My neck and body and slightly face too have turned darker..I got badly tanned..and 4 shades darker at the Beauty and the Blogger show..and trying to get rid of the tan..but I guess it would take some time..

Myntra.com Haul and Review I know I am MIA from a long time..blame the stupid internet..its been 8-9 days it gets disconnected every night..and during daytime I am in office..finally I get to blog :DComing to Myntra.com, I have shopped a few time previously at Myntra but mostly clothes, shoes, etc..but not from the Beauty section..they provided a voucher to shop and experience the beauty section..and I said why not..
I got my stuff within a day or two..they are pretty quick..and I love how we get different individual boxes..don’t we all need them to keep our makeup 😀
Let’s see what I shopped..
I got:
Faces Exfoliating Gloves (affordable dupe for the Body Shop Gloves)

Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine Lip Gloss in Plum Luster
Streetwear Nail Polish Remover
Nivea Purifying Face Wash (for Combination to Oily Skin)

Things I feel they should work on..most of the things were out of stock..like I had a few things in my cart and they were OOS the next day..so had to replace them..for the Lip Glosses, they had just 3 shades available..and not the shade I wanted..I was interested more in Mirrored Mauve..so definitely more stock and variety is what they can improve on..and shipping is free above Rs.1000/- which I feel is a little too high..it should be around Rs.400-500/-
