Promotion Code: STOCKUP18
You have to use the code ‘STOCKUP18’ during checkout and it’s valid on both ShopBop and East Dane. The sale starts today, till Sept 29.
I mostly get all my bags and shoes from ShopBop, I have also started buying clothes since some months, fit is always a guess because the size charts are standard where as fit varies brand to brand and internationally returns are difficult. Hence I stuck to bags and shoes for the longest time, but I am liking the outfits a lot too. I usually size up, so most of them are a little big for me but at least I can alter them a bit and wear them.
I recommend Michael Kors, Steven by Steve Madden, Dolce Vita, Levi’s, Sam Edelman, Kendall & Kylie in bags and shoes.
Free People, BB Dakota, Endless Rose, Stylekeepers, etc. in clothes.
I have already placed my order 🙂 What are you planning to get?
The sharp growth of technology easily enables us to shop at the leisure of our homes and the comfort and convenience we experience in online shopping is beyond what is fathomed. Coupled with the discounts we receive and the amazing logistic services that deliver to our doorstep makes the experience worthwhile. However, a lot of us are still uncomfortable with the pitfalls of shopping online for clothes and therefore are not willing to take a chance. We have listed various ways to make online shopping for men easier for you and thus you can try as many styles as you want.
• SIZE – Size and fit are generally the two most important issues in online shopping. A lot of shopping websites for men provide measurement charts that should be followed. For example, you may be size XL in a brand while size L in another brand. Thus, before adding any product to your cart, go through the chart of the respective brand to avoid any error. You should not always trust model shots or look books available on the website. Treat them as guides to styling rather than fit.
• FABRIC – We are often so blinded by the colour or design and sometimes the discounted price tag that we almost forget to check the fabric. Fabric is also important for your style and comfort. Certain materials shrink and certain loosen post wash. In online shopping for men, they often overlook the fabric.
• SHOP WHAT YOU EXACTLY WANT – Although men will not put that much effort compared to women when it comes to their shopping list, but the list always helps keep in mind what you require. You have to know what you are looking for and therefore make sure you mentally make a list. There are plenty of options for a man out there to shop, and therefore it’s easy to get distracted by the options and availability of the various products.
• STICK TO THE LIST – It is extremely important to stick to the list. We are often swayed by discounts and therefore end up buying what we don’t need. A list of things that you do not require in your wardrobe will help to make the shopping experience better.
• STICK TO YOUR FAVOURITE BRAND – If you are comfortable with a particular brand, always stick to that. This will help you choose the clothes better as you are well aware of the quality of the product. This also helps you to identify the size without any issues.
• RETURN POLICY – This is perhaps one of the most important aspects of online shopping of clothes. Do not throw away the tags and always check the return policy and number of days within which you have to return. If the return policy isn’t clear to you, call up the customer care service and verify the necessary details.
• COMPARING PRICE – There are innumerable online stores for you to check and compare the prices. Always keep a watch for a good deal. Sometimes when you shop for the first time from a website, they provide you with discount coupons so if the same apparel is available elsewhere where you can get a discount, try reaching out for that.
• REVIEWS – Reviews are extremely important. Always check the reviews on the shopping website or on the particular product so that you can have a proper idea of the products you are about to purchase.

I love the fact that they always include ‘Sale’ items on sale, which most websites and brands don’t. This gives us a Sale on Sale, which is an amazing deal and I always make use of that!
I highly recommend getting your designer bags and shoes from ShopBop during this sale time. Over the years, I have got a lot of shoes and bags. I have been investing in good designer outfits and quality pieces now, especially during the sales.
If you like LA based designers and small brands, local boutiques, ShopBop has a lot of them! From Ella Moon to Moon River, Stylekeepers, Susana Monaco.
I have been getting a lot of dresses and fancy tops and skirts from these brands, if you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen quite a few. The recent ones I am yet to shoot, I am also planning to shoot a collective haul video since some time.
Michael Kors
I highly recommend checking out Michael Kors bags, watches and shoes, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, especially if you want to invest in your first designer bag and don’t have too big a budget for LV’s and Chanel’s. My Michael Kors bags literally last me years and I use them every single day! And they still look good as new.
What is your pick from the sale? Are you eyeing something?
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.

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.
These days the harsh summers are unrelenting in their heat, so each one must take care of their skin from breaking too. BB creams hence are a total rage as different brands in India have presented new formulations and new types that suit diverse skin tones and types. BB stands for a beauty balm and even some context, a blemish balm.
BB creams are multi-taskers as they are all-rounders when talking about an all-round cream that can moisturize, protect the skin from sun and even work as a foundation. It is a moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, and foundation rolled all in one. Although they cannot conceal major flaws, but can even out skin tones easily. They are a boon for working women, who must face the harsh sun, work for long hours, and even suffer from faded skin due to too much exposure. Some women are BB cream junkies, and have literally tried almost every option available in the market. Although you might have failed to find the ideal BB cream for your own skin type, one can pick up one from the following list of the best BB creams that are effective this summer.
⦁ Maybelline Clear Glow Shine Free BB Stick
The BB stick is a favorite of many people during summers. If you have oily skin and need light to medium coverage with a brilliant matte effect, then this stick can deliver it. It also allows for quick application in a few strokes and the glow will always be there. There only 2 shades available for the stick though.
⦁ Garnier All in one Miracle Perfector BB Cream
This BB cream is great budget option that delivers the much-needed glow during summers. It can even out the skin tone beautifully and all people who have oily or normal skin can use it. It comes in a single shade but is perfect for all skin tones.
⦁ Ponds White Beauty BB + Fairness Cream
This Ponds cream is capable enough to brighten up the skin instantly with good coverage option for concealing minor flaws. The cream boasts of SPF 30 that is suitable for all skin types and lasts for about 6-7 hours. Its single shade will suit light to medium skin tones too.
⦁ Deborah Milano 5 in 1 BB Cream
This BB cream provides great coverage with a matte finish while also providing 6 whopping shades to choose from.
⦁ MAC Prep and Prime Beauty Balm – SPF 35
This prime beauty balm is an ideal BB cream for many as it consists of multiple shades along with high SPF. Although it is pricey, its features and range offers bang for the buck.
⦁ Maybelline Clear Glow BB Cream
This version is different than the stick version as if offers an ideal BB cream for normal to dry skin. Additionally, consumers prefer it owing to its low coverage and availability in three shades. Certainly, one of the favorites!
⦁ Colorbar Perfect Match Beauty Balm
Colorbar is a perfect BB for oily skin and in places where humidity is quite high. The balm can balance out skin tone giving out a warm, brightening effect. Although its price is not low-end, it certainly makes waves as a near-affordable option for people with oily skin.
⦁ L’oreal Paris True Match Skin Idealizing BB Cream
Now here is a BB cream that is indeed workable as its name suggests. It has a velvet finish and hence it is ideal for use on all skin types. It adapts to your skin tone very well looking very natural and is available in 3 shades.
⦁ Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream
This brand is from Korea and is known to be one of the most effective BB creams, certainly ranking as one of the very best. The good part is that the cream comes in 5 shades, with SPF 42. It is compatible with all types of skins and perfect for summers.
⦁ Clinique Age Defense BB Cream with SPF 30
The age defense BB cream includes several anti-oxidants, which repair skin and is also known for the amount of coverage and its SPF of 30 perfect for normal as well as oily skin. This is one BB cream that is priced high but certainly a favorite for anyone who do not feel price is any issue.
The above list includes some of the best BB creams in the country which are available at Shoppers Stop.
