A new OOTD today, this week I attended the Grazia BeauTea Party at The Taj Mahal Tea House in Bandra. It was a small meet of 6-7 bloggers and the Beauty Editor and Art Director of Grazia India. It will be covered in next month’s Grazia magazine which is the ‘Beauty Special’, so do grab your hands on that 😀
Anyhoo, this is what I wore. I am loving this red frills skater dress, it is so so comfortable and the frills make it look super pretty. Also it was a common style in the 80’s and has made a comeback and why not when all the styles from 70’s and 80’s have 😀
I paired it with my black fringed sling bag and black and gold ankle strap sandals. Finished with my current favourite Michael Kors rose gold link watch.
Today I am talking about one of my favourite shows on TV. I love lifestyle channels and shows based on fashion, current obsession is Fox Life India. Fox Life has a fashion band from Monday to Friday at 8pm, now you know what I do everyday at 8 😉
Go Style is an amalgamation of different shows which are topically about fashion and style. These shows include Clifton Shores, Style And The City, Life Mein Ek Baar and Styled by June. Every weekday Fox Life India will air one of these shows.
I personally love Style and the City. It shows the real side of fashion, how the shoots take place, what goes behind the shoots, how the sourcing is done and the backstage action behind the fashion shows. Also going to different cities of India from Benaras to Agra for inspiration and sourcing raw materials and how a fashion designer achieves what exactly what his client needs! Basically everything behind-the-scenes.
There is a new ‘Style Expert’, a fashion stylist or designer brought in every week who decodes looks or styles a shoot or fashion show or designs a new collection and we get to see how it is all done. My favourite style expert has to be Anaita Shroff Adajania, I love her styling be it in the movies or shoots or otherwise. And my favourite designer on the show is Ashish N Soni who gets into the minutest details of the fabric and designing.
Their tagline goes ‘Inside Celebrity Fashion Closets’ which is very apt and true for ‘Style And The City’. Apart from this, I also like ‘Life Me Ek Baar’ and all the other shows which air at the Go style band at 8pm everyday.
Now you can get the best of style on Fox Life India on Weekdays at 8 PM on #GoStyle.
OOTD: Two Diverse Outfits (Maxi Dress & Monochrome)
Hi guys,
If you follow me on my social media, you must be knowing I had attended the Reliance Trends’ Tarun Tahiliani show at Lakme Fashion Week and I had to pick two outfits from the new Reliance Trends collection and wear one of it for the show.
I tried a number of outfits as you can see here..
Finally I went with these two.
First is this super pretty royal blue maxi dress which is from their in house brand ‘Fusion’ and it has an Indo-western feel to it obviously as the name goes.
I love the print on top, the fit, the flowy fabric, the color, everything about this dress and also it is super comfortable! I had been living in this maxi dress for entire day for 2-3 days in a row since it felt so comfortable.
If it would have been available in more colors, I would have bought all of them 😀 And guess the price guys!! It retails only for Rs.799/-!! Beat that. Definitely recommend checking out ‘Fusion’ at your nearest Reliance Trends store and buy this if you spot it! There were some other shirt dresses and halter dresses too which were quite pretty.
I wanted my 2nd outfit to be completely different from the first. Since the first was bright and colorful and Indo-western, I went with a monochromatic black and white semi-formal look in the 2nd.
I chose this textured white boxy top with an embellished neckline with a simple black pencil skirt. I love the waffle print texture and the neckline is super pretty. You don’t need any additional accessories with this top. This top was priced at Rs. 799/- too.
Other accessories seen in these looks are my infinity layered neckpiece and my hamsa hand harness. (Both seen HERE). I wore my silver Forever 21 loafers with these.
Review: Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani Collection at LFW W/F 2015
Hi guys,
I attended the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani show yesterday evening at the Lakme Fashion Week.
Tarun Tahiliani’s “Easy Glamour” collection was an eclectic line of ready-to-wear pieces presented by Reliance Trends at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015.
The ramp had a full length mirror on stage and a rack of clothes as the backdrop, a very stylish video featuring the hot Lisa Haydon modelling Tarun’s collection was playing in the background.
Ujjwala Raut opened the show wearing a looped black midi. The collection was predominantly black with some red and other colors popped in between. A lot of tribal prints and stripes were seen with some leheriya print.
Dolman sleeve top, poncho draped skirt, corset dress, lungi dress and many such interesting silhouettes were seen on the ramp.
Asymmetric kurta with leggings, the black dhoti sari and choli, maroon jumpsuit with embroidered printed belt created a perfect Indo – western fusion.
Dramatic borders were used on most pieces in rust, blue and mostly gold. The velvet bustier belts brought whole looks together. Models wore a nose ring through the middle of the nose and super huge round earrings which added to the tribal element.
He also created the ‘jumpsuit-sari’ with the pleats and draped dupatta which looked quite interesting. Peplum quilted gilets, satin draped lungi cowl gowns, saris with velvet obe belts and printed tees with satin dhotis were quite unique. The kedia style blouses, attached capes and caplets were seen in majority of the pieces.
Kalidaar jackets, 3D floral motifs, bright gold embroidery and velvet hemlines took the basic pieces to a whole new level adding glamour to the outfits.
Overall a lot of luxe separates were seen with endless mix and match possibilities.
The super hot Chitrangada Singh was the perfect showstopper, she wore a black draped gown with a velvet cape which had gold embellishments.
Tarun Tahiliani being the “Czar of Couture” did manage to create a super amazing prét-a-porter/ready-to-wear collection for women! I cannot wait to check out more pieces from the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani collection.
Did you like the Reliance Trends Tarun Tahiliani collection? Your favourite piece?
If you read the previous post, you know we went to Trident BKC yesterday for lunch as it was Mr. Husband’s birthday.
I wore this pretty pastel blue floral off shoulder dress. I loved the dress but it is actually a bit loose and the sleeves were dropping, so kind of uncomfortable. I will have to find a way to alter it or fix it somehow. I love the pastel blue color and the floral print though, off shoulder is very IN trend these days.
I paired it with my new silver Forever 21 loafers and kept it minimal and silver in terms of accessories too. I wore this layered silver infinity necklace and a silver hamsa hand harness, my first hamsa 🙂

I am back with the 3 casual outfits’ post. See more HERE and HERE.
This time, I covered three outfits which I wore to events/meets recently.
Outfit 1:
It is the same outfit I wore HERE, this time with different accessories and bag. I love this floral midi skirt and since it has red roses, this red crop top matches perfectly with the skirt.
I paired it with a simple gold statement necklace and my Daniel Wellington watch. The highlight of this outfit is this beautiful Suede by Devina Juneja wristlet. The Shaded Ring Weave Wristlet is made with lightly hand-shaded leather in subtle gold and silver. I love the shaded ombre effect and the gold chain is perfect to replace your bracelet. It is easy to carry around and looks so pretty.
I wore this at the The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Range launch recently. Did you guys see the vlog yet? Go HERE.

Outfit 2:
The 2nd and 3rd are more casual ones, I am loving my new Levi’s 711 Skinny and living in them practically. I love how these are super comfortable. I always stayed away from skinny jeans coz I am neither thin nor tall for the skinny jeans to look good on me, Levi’s changed it all for me! I still can’t believe this skinny jeans not only flatters my body but make my legs look slender and nice. This is the first skinny jeans I absolutely love and they have other ranges like 311 Shaping Skinny and 312 Shaping Slim which look even more flattering and I can’t wait to try those.
I paired the skinny with my simple white tee and a black and beige Himachal print jacket. The jacket is currently on sale and only worth Rs.448/-! It is perfect for your dresses too and adds a light layer and keeps you warm. Since the entire look was more or less monochrome, I added a bright pop of color with my current favourite orange bucket bag. Bucket bags are back, ladies! I love how this bag is huge and fits my world in it (including my camera) and I carry it along comfortably. I love the orange and golden tassels hanged on the straps. The only thing is, I wish it came with a longer strap too, which usually comes with a bucket bag and makes it more convenient to carry. I finished the look with gold strappy flat sandals by Do Bhai from Myntra.
Denims: Levi’s

Outfit 3:
The third one is a simple, everyday outfit. A basic aztec print top with roll over sleeves, paired with Levi’s 711 Skinny again. I completed the look with a Daniel Wellington watch, black fringed bag and black studded ballerinas.
Haircut at Juice Salon: I went Short! #GetTheLookWithJUICE
Hi guys,
I had not got a haircut since December i.e. last I had got it done just before my wedding. So, it had been a good 6-7 months and my hair desperately needed a cut. Last week I went to the Juice Salon at Inorbit Mall, Vashi to try out their new monsoon haircut + style. Ronnie, a super talented and an amazing hairstylist came down all the way to Vashi for me.
You must have seen this pic on my Instagram.
Juice has come up with 3 new hairstyles for the monsoons, 2 for women and 1 for men. I tried out one according to my face shape and hair texture. Ronnie started with washing my hair and then applying a serum which also works as a heat protectant for the blow drying later.
She chopped off 4-5 inches from the ends. Now this is the first time I have gone this short at a time 😀 I have always had long hair and hardly go short,so this is a refreshing change.
She layered on the top section to give the hair volume on the crown. And side swept bangs to frame the face which I am completely loving. She made sure she gives a haircut which is just was-and-go on regular days. And it indeed is, I am completely loving it.
Ronnie wanted soft,wavy curls at the ends but not those tong ones, a much softer version. She curled the ends with a hair straightener and then blow dried the crown section to give volume.
She gave me a lot of hair tips about serums,shampoos and hair styling products in general,it was so good chatting with her. She used a hair spray on her palm and gently used it on the top for the bangs to stay in place.
Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’
Me and Ronnie..
This is how my hair looked from behind.
Time for the surprise! One of you gets a chance to get this haircut. All you have to do is:
A new OOTD today..I wore this pretty red lips embroidered dress last Saturday when we went to Prime Time Sports Bar and also it was my niece’s 2nd birthday 🙂
I love how simple and effortless this dress is,yet glams you up instantly. I paired it with a simple gold choker necklace and a simple Daniel Wellington watch and a set of rings.
Completed the look with this black fringes bag and studded black ballerinas.
Since it was quite dark and the lighting was not that good, some pics look a bit harsh. Also, I am wearing the L’Oreal Paris 24H Powder Foundation and hence the whitish cast, see I told you.

I am back with an OOTD. I have seen palazzos doing rounds since a long time,I always felt they look good only on taller and leaner women like maxi dresses, and hence never tried them.
This time, I thought, why not give it a try and I saw this beautiful floral palazzos and fell in love with them. This navy blue lace crop top matched perfectly with the palazzos and also the fit was amazing,it hugged the body snuggly. The upper part was lace which played a peek-a-boo.
The palazzos are so,so comfortable. light and airy. I feel I can wear them everyday, even in these summers.
Since the top and bottoms were lace and floral, I did not accessorize much and just went with my classic watch and tan brogues. And my favourite companion MK Selma Mini.
I wore this at the Pantene event last week, and we also met the super hot Lisa Haydon.
