Tips for Buying Shoes Online For That Perfect Fit

By Sanchita

These days we have the pleasure of online shopping, be it clothes, makeup or anything essential can be easily delivered to your doorstep within few days. Shoes are also one of the most important parts of your outfit and thus women also look for shoes online. Online shopping in India for shoes will save you the hassle and time. However, a lot of people hesitate to buy shoes online. This is because shoe shopping feels like a ‘touch and try kind of an experience’. If the shoes are not comfortable, you can’t wear them on any occasion and the whole purpose of buying those shoes you loved is down the drain. However, here are some quick tips and tricks to follow to buy shoes for women in India.

• The perfect size – Sizing in shoe shopping matters a lot and especially while purchasing shoes online. Every website provides you with a chart and one should try to follow that. But before you move forward, I want to tell you that the size varies from brand to brand. For e.g. If you are size 34 in one brand, you may be size 35 in another. Also, it varies from design to design. To have the perfect fit, take a blank sheet of paper, pencil and ruler measure the feet
wearing a sock. Place the foot down on the sheet and get the perfect shape by outlining with the pencil and then measure accordingly with the rule. Keep this sheet with you every time you are shopping for shoes. This is very helpful in purchasing shoes online.

• Shopping Website – Always choose a website you feel is trustworthy and reliable. There are various websites online for shoes but most of them do not deliver what they promise. Look for the reviews and decide accordingly. Also, if your favourite shoe brand has its own website, then definitely go for that. This guarantees the perfect fit because you have already tried the shoes, own them and know your size.

• Look for the return policy – Every shopping website for clothes and shoes should have a proper return policy because size matters in these cases. If the shoes do not have the perfect fit, they are useless. Therefore, before purchasing shoes online, always check the return policy of the website, the terms and conditions attached and the number of days within which you have to return.

• Shoe material – We are often disillusioned by the amazing look of a pair of shoes and we forget to check the material. Not every pretty shoe is going to have the most amazing and comfortable material. Sometimes, a particular material irritates the skin or causes extreme shoe bites which makes it very uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, always check the material before purchasing online. If it is not listed, you can call up the customer service to ensure
the same.

• Images – The more the images enlisted on the website, the better it is. While shopping online, choose a website where different images of the particular shoe are presented with various perspectives so that you can choose easily. It also helps you to evaluate the material and fit better.

• Reviews – Reviews and ratings are extremely important. If you have any doubts regarding a product, then try reading extensive reviews and ratings. This enables you to judge the product or in fact check the credibility of the online brand. This is also very helpful if you are purchasing shoes online for the first time from a specific brand. People often mention if it runs larger, smaller or are true to size.

• Try it on – It is advisable to try the shoe right away when you receive the order. While trying, wear socks so that the fit can be checked perfectly. Even when you are shopping at stores physically, try wearing socks for shoe trial for comfort and fit.

• Indoor trial – While you are trying the shoes purchased online, try walking indoors to avoid any damage. Although most websites provide a return policy, it comes with a clause that the shoes must not be damaged, soiled or the tags torn. Therefore, do not pull up the sticker or
tear apart the tags and always try indoors.

So these are some tips for shopping shoes for women online in India without any hassle. Next time you see an amazing deal or a chic pair of shoes, follow these tips to purchase without any hesitation.

OOTD: Blue & Black Mesh Polka Maxi Dress

Hi guys,

I am doing an OOTD after a long time, because my daily outfits I usually share on my Instagram now. If you are not following me there, follow now : bhumika_t

But I have thought of sharing outfits of which I do elaborate shoots of or the outfits which are really pretty and absolutely deserve more pics and an entire blog post, here.

I got this blue and black maxi dress from eShakti in December, I know it’s been quite some time. I had gone for a holiday and came back with a fracture and was on bed rest entire month. It took me quite some time to be completely ok and then couldn’t get around shooting, hence the delay. I am really sorry for that.

Coming to eShakti, I got an email from them and I checked their website and I was absolutely in awe! I had no idea of an Indian website having such beautiful customized clothing at such an affordable price. eShakti primarily catered to US and towards the end of last year, they started the India operations.

They have tops, skirts, dresses, everything from casual to party wear and on trend clothes for women. And the best part is you can customize neck, sleeves, length, measurements, everything! So it is Your Size. Your Style

If you like a print in maxi dress, you can get the same in a shift dress, midi dress, skater dress, with sleeves, you can customize everything. And the best part is they have rates ranging from 1000 to 3000-4000, which is fabulous for a fully customized outfit. And mind you, at 3-4k, you get a beautiful cocktail gown!

I had to struggle a lot to find a nice, simple gown for my cocktail function, because in all the shops I got the diamond work gowns which I hate. They didn’t have anything simple or as per my liking, everything was too blingy for my taste. I finally went a black lace maxi dress from StalkBuyLove, which was too long and I had to alter the height of it.

If eShakti was retailing then and I would have come across this, I would have most definitely bought a gown from here. Perhaps this one only 🙂

I loved this peacock blue and black maxi dress. It has a silk base and a complete mest net coverage from the top, sleeves to bottom, with black polka dots ( in thread embroidery) throughout the dress. It has a zip behind and the entire outfit material from the cloth to the zip and buttons is amazing quality, no complaints whatsoever!

It also has pockets! My favourite part in a dress 🙂

I kept the accessories pretty simple, with just my rose gold Daniel Wellington Classic Petite watch and rose gold cuff. You can get 15% off on www.danielwellington.com using my code ‘BHUMIKA’

I really love this dress and I highly recommend eShakti. You will find everything from casual to party wear here and you can customize pretty much everything. They do take 7-10 days to deliver as they need to customize the outfit.

Dress: eShakti
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Earrings: Tanishq
On my Lips: MAC Ruby Woo

I hope you liked the dress, do let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

OOTD: White & Blue Embellished Gown

Hi guys,

I know I haven’t done an OOTD here since a long time, that’s coz of Instagram! Yes, I usually post my OOTD’s and outfit pics with details there, so you don’t see many OOTD’s here on the blog. If you want to see my regular OOTD’s, follow me on Instagram @bhumika_t

I did a special shoot for 3 outfits recently and hence I made sure I post it on the blog and not just Instagram.

I had this dress since quite some time now, but due to monsoons or some or the other event, I couldn’t get to shoot in this. Also since the material is raw silk, it gets crinkled super easily. This shoot was right after I had got this from ironing and still it has crinkled :/

Failed attempt at twirling

But nonetheless, it is also the material which is very comfortable and looks really nice! Love the silhouette.

I love the sleeves and the gold embellishment work on the sleeves. This dress is from a Kolkata based brand Mada Sasa. They make customized fusion wear like drapes, gowns, kurtis, tunics, etc. Also they make it in your customized sizing as per the measurements given. Check out more on www.madasasa.com or their facebook page HERE

I paired it with my nude Zara strappy heels, a cocktail ring, fusion bracelet and a gold clutch.

Dress: Mada Sasa
Heels: Zara
Ring: Eesha Zaveri
Bracelet: House of Tuhina
Earrings: Dang
Clutch: Gift from Kerastase

Lipstick: Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stain in Mauve Dusk over Maybelline Lip Gradation Red2

What Does Your Clothing Color Say About Your Personality

By Sanchita

Color has a deep connection with the personality of a human being. It has several embedded emotions and plays a very important role when it comes to the attire. Everyone has their favorite color which one is drawn to and some might not even realize unless they actually pay a close heed to it. Well of course, weather and events plays an important role to choose a color as well but responsive factor is one of the most important one.

Color also demonstrates our mood. Since we choose the color subconsciously, a lot of emotional and mental reflections are mirrored through our choices. In fact, several facts have shown that the choice of colors of the clothes we wear can reveal out strength and weakness as they are a part of our personality itself. It has been seen that color helps us to have a confidence boost and such positive and enriching outlook helps us in various situations. Color reveals the subtleness of the mind. We often judge by what they wear and color establishes a strong foot on the judgement. For example, for a party we would prefer sequin gold and strong colors while for a board meeting we would prefer a soft brown or basic black. Thus it helps us to construe the circumstance and is a form of art.

Apart from other occasions, there are some colors which we always stick to or prefer whenever we are picking up clothes for buying. You must have noticed that we are attracted of blue most of the time or pink and this color reveals a lot about the personality you have.

Even while online shopping, we use the ‘Color’ filter and shortlist as per the color quite a lot of times.

So let’s check out which color of your choice of dressing says what about your personality.

Blue – Blue has a hint of elusiveness, delicacy and state of peace in it. It indicates that the person has a sense of loyalty towards the thing which one loves. It also depicts a hint of intenseness and mystery when wore as an attire. This color is best suited for introverts. The color blue also defines a sense of ‘control’ and calmness as well as confidence without any aggressive touch in it.

Red – Red is a very powerful color in itself. It reveals about a personality that the person is extremely extrovert, passionate, energetic as well as bold. Though we can’t call the color loud but it definitely screams some kind of attention and attraction in very possible way. In fact, it resembles of a shining gorgeous ruby. The red color speaks louder than we can’t imagine and thus it is best to stay away from this color especially for formal purpose like interview or meetings.

Pink – We always associate this color with girls or anything feminine. It is a color which shows that the person is very lovable and soft hearted who is loved and liked by all. it also symbolized unconditional love and affection as well. Someone with a sweet, charismatic and cheerful personality with an intuitive mind would be inclined towards this playful color.

White – White illustrates a sign of simplicity, purity, goodness and cleanliness and reflects a positive effect in an overall appearance. People wearing white are mostly open, well-spirited, genuine and confident. It is also one of the best option when you are attending an interview, meeting or anything professional.

Black – A lot of us subconsciously pick up this color whenever they have options or not. It is the most sophisticated, versatile and gracious color for every occasion. It sends out a strong sense of power, control and authority without being loud or garish. It shows that the person is extremely in control, strong willed and self-independent in his or her own way. Further, it also establishes the strength and dignity.

So, which is your favorite color?

Types of Anarkalis & Choosing Anarkali for your Body Type

Types of Anarkalis & Choosing Anarkali for your Body Type

Hi guys,

When it comes to Indian wear, anarkalis have been back in fashion since the past 5-6 years and they are still in trend, I don’t think that trend is going anywhere. Simply because they are super comfortable and easy to wear for weddings, etc. too. Anarkali is the only outfit which is traditional Indian wear and yet very comfortable to wear and roam around in 😀 When you get best of both worlds, stick to it.

Today I am talking about different types of anarkalis and how to choose one according to your body type.

1. Cotton Anarkali

These are the most simple and basic kinds, which you can wear to work or a light function. Comfortable yet traditional and very light. There are many options of anarkali suits online by BIBA and on Myntra, Jabong, etc.

2. Silk Anarkali

Silk ones can be a little heavier or lighter depending on the embellishments on it, but certainly expensive. You can go for the lighter silk ones for a daytime function and the heavier ones for some big function or wedding.

3. Asymmetric Anarkali

Asymmetric Anarkalis are quite in trend and look chic too. These again can be in lighter cotton ones or heavier silk or bridal ones. I love how it is shorter in the front and slightly longer behind, this would work on short girls too. I know how it is difficult to find a anarkali when you are short. Been there :/

4. Layered Anarkali

Again just like the asymmetric ones, layered ones are also pretty IN and I absolutely love them. They give a jacket kind of look or 2-3 layers which are shorter and keep on increasing in length. Currently the mesh capes are quite in trend and would look good over an anarkali too.

5. Bridal Anarkali

Now this is something very heavy, Sikh brides usually wear a suit or anarkali during their Anand Karaj. They can opt for a super heavy embellished anarkali. Also if you want to wear one for your mehendi or sangeet, the bridal ones are perfect.

Choosing an Anarkali according to body type

Inverted Triangle- If you have an inverted triangle body type i.e top heavy with broad shoulders, avoid boat necks, high neck collars or bulky shoulder patterns as that will bring more attention towards the broad shoulders.

Hourglass- Well if you have an hourglass figure, all anarkalis will look fabulous on you. Just make sure it accentuates your waist well and the flare starts below the waist.

Apple shaped- If you are apple shapes, wear empire line silhouettes in anarkalis which means the flare starting just below your waist which will help you hide your core problem area.

Pear shaped- If you have a well defined waist, then you can go for anarkalis starting below the waist and the flare will hide your lower problem area or else again empire line will work the best.

Short, petite girls- If you are short or petite, go for shorter kurtas with less flare as you don’t want the anarkali to look like a gown and neither like you wearing a tent.

If you are tall, anarkalis are made for you! You can wear them anytime, anywhere 😀

I hope this helped, do let me know in the comments below. If you are a bride-to-be, keep these tips in mind and choose an anarkali according to your body type.

Earn while you Shop at BonusBay

Online Shopping is IN now. I recently got married and rented out a new place. Shooped online for TV, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, apparel, household goods, fans, other small electronics & stuff.

I got the best products at the best prices.

But off late, I realised that those were not the best prices. Apparently, there are websites that act as a shopping website aggregator for shoppers, i.e. they lead shoppers to online marketplaces like Amazon, Snapdeal, Flipkart and manage to get commissions from these websites as customer referral fees. One such website is www.bonusbay.in

Now why should we go through these websites if I want to buy something from Amazon?

Well, here is the “Best price surprise” part. These websites share their customer referral fees with people like you and me, who shop on the Amazons of the world via their websites.

Let me explain in four easy steps
a) Create a login account at www.bonusbay.in (Or use your facebook account for the same)

b) Go to amazon.in through the above newly created login account. You can also check out the commission you are bound to receive (So, apart from the prices on the websites, you should also calculate the commissions and figure out the net cost. Finally, some use of my accounting/commerce degree). I also checked prices of the same product from direct websites and the prices remain the same. Please comment below if you have found it otherwise for any of the products.

c) Shop like you normally do.
d) There is no step 4. You will get your bonuses in the form of bonusbay points/bonus within a couple of months. Once the bonuses hit 1,000, you can also transfer the same to your bank account. So stop reading this post and go HERE  to avail INR 100 welcome bonus. 🙂

This whole thing reminds me of credit card cash back and reward points stuff. Except that credit cards are much more stingy – 1 reward point for 100 shopping bucks, which translates into just 0.30 paise in my bank. 🙁
