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 ?
Pantene Pro-V Total Damage Care Shampoo,Conditioner,Intensive Hair Mask Review
Ok, to start with, I was never a Pantene fan before. Had used it once long back and did not like it much, never tried Pantene again. So, this time when the Pantene team asked me to take their 14 day hair challenge with their all new and improved Pantene, I was like why not, let me give it a try.
The thing which intrigued me the most was their new Keratin Damage Blockers Technology. Even though the challenge was 14 days i.e 2 weeks, I was still using it for a longer time, though I did note the change in my hair in 2 weeks.
First, let us read and understand more about keratin porosis and the keratin damage blockers..
KERATIN-POROSIS IS THE ENEMY
The erosion of hair’s vital keratins and protein loss is the reason why hair becomes weaker and more brittle. Hair subsequently becomes more porous, ultimately leading to greater hair damage.
FIGHTING BACK AGAINST THE DAMAGES
The Keratin Damage Blockers targets, captures and neutralizes conditions that causes Keratin-Porosis, preventing keratin deficiency and strengthening the hair fiber from the inside out for healthier hair with every wash.
KERATIN-POROSIS EXPLAINED
Put the shine, strength and resilience back into your hair. Enjoy continuous improvements with every single wash, and benefit from the extra hair protection and better protein retention.
KERATIN DAMAGE BLOCKERS TECHNOLOGY IN SHAMPOOS
With the revolutionary Keratin Damage Blockers technology in the new line of shampoos* that preserves hair’s vital proteins and protects it from Keratin-Porosis, Pantene ushers a new era of damage-free hair!
KERATIN DAMAGE BLOCKERS EXPLAINED
Developed by 9 Global Hair Experts after 10 years of research, discover what goes behind the shine of Pantene’s Keratin Damage Blockers technology.
Ahaan, sounds good, does’nt it ? But, does it actually work ? Read on..

Step 3
Pantene Total Damage Care Range comes in a pretty yellow and white packaging..though all Pantene range have the same packaging, I feel they should change some color somewhere to differentiate the range.
But, I like the fact that they are to be stored upside down. No struggle and waiting for the shampoo or conditioner to dispense when its half over as its already collected towards the opening. The mask also has a easy flip cap packaging in a tub.
The shampoo is pearly white in color and has a shine. Its runny and foams very well. Conditioner is a thick, white cream, and smooth and moisturising enough.
Hair feels smoother and softer after the first use itself. I have tried using the mask as a conditioner and skipping the conditioner and all three together too. I thought all three together would weigh down my hair, but I was so wrong.
Did not weigh down my hair at all. The mask is the hero of this range. Its the bomb.com
Intensive Hair Mask
I so love the mask. My hair feels amazingly soft and smooth with this range, especially with the mask. Though I use the mask only once a week. The conditioner is good too, but nothing beats the mask 😀
The best part, this mask is also available in Rs.10 sachet form, which is THE thing to carry, when you are travelling.
Though, it did not help much with dandruff,Does not even claim to. But, hair is manageable and non frizzy as claimed. And super soft and smooth. And, I believe the Keratin Damage Blockers technology is actually protecting my hair from damage and repairing it too.
Yes, I did see visible results in 14 days. You should absolutely take the 14 days challenge if yet not convinced.
I highly recommend this range !
Have you tried the new Pantene Total Damage Care Range ??

Instant White Smile with the New Closeup Diamond Attraction
I attended the new Closeup Diamond Attraction launch on 5th July at Bungalow 9, Bandra. I also met so many bloggers from Delhi, who were flown specially for the event. It was a fun night of chatting, eating, drinking and smiling ! Showing off our white pearlies 😀
We had a photobooth where we clicked fun shots, used props, then were made to play some games in one minute and had dinner, drinks and conversations.
I like the idea of instant whiteness. Just brush your teeth for a minute, and you can see visible difference in your teeth, being more whiter. We also tested it with a string of pearls and a stop watch.

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.

Recently Rado launched a new all white (stunning) collection. I have a weakness for white watches (already have 3 whites :p). And, I love Rado ! So, the white Rado collection, you can imagine, how much I drooled over.
Lisa Ray talking about the brand
Rado had a small blogger meet up with just 12 of us lucky bloggers and their brand manager Simran Chandoke, Marketing Manager Piyush Kumar and their brand ambassador Lisa Ray, at the private area of Ming Yang, Taj Lands End. We were the privileged ones to see the collection up close and personal, try it on and play with it. The theme was black or white.
Also, we came to know quite a few interesting facts about Rado and this collection in particular. Rado was amongst the first ones to make ceramic watches.
Me and Hina chatting away
They have a tactile watch in this collection called the ‘Rado Esenza Ceramic Touch’.The vertical oval-shaped watch – crafted in black or white ceramic – is crown-free. Time is changed by pressing and sliding your fingers along the case to set the hours and minutes. The incredibly tactile watch offers something not seen on any other ladies model currently sold. They are going to patent the tactile feature in ceramic.
My First Rado ! (though a bad angle :/)
The one which I am wearing is the slimmest watch in that collection, as equal to 3 credit cards. And is made of mother of pearl. Super elegant.
Simran Chandoke, Brand Manager, Rado India
All the pieces in this collection were stunning. Simran and Piyush informed a lot about the brand in general and this collection in particular. And, Simran also explained the facts and features of each and every watch in detail.
We played a small game, where we got one word and we had to relate it to one watch from this collection and why we feel that word best describes the particular watch we selected.
Showing off our RadoMe and Jyo with Lisa Ray
It was a fun evening where we had dinner and conversations about blogging in general, Rado, Lisa Ray, social media, etc. And it was amazing interacting with Lisa Ray too.
Us !
Overall, quiet a nice meet and a different one at it. It was quiet an experience and I definitely would love such kind of more meets 😀
