So my birthday was on 22nd and I was in Jaipur that time, I just wanted to share my birthday outfit with you all.
I wore this lace little black dress from StalkBuyLove and paired it with everything gold. Also gold and black was appropriate for the Christmas and Party Season. I am so obsessed with this dress, I would have worn it for New Year Party for sure, sadly no plans :/
I paired it with gold tassel earrings, rose gold watch and a glitter clutch. Also stacked some gold midi rings and my trusted black and gold ankle strap sandals.
We clicked this at Nahargarh Haveli in Jaipur where we were staying for 3 days, it is an old haveli refurbished into an hotel. There are similar other hotels in Jaipur like Nani Ki Haveli, Alsisar, Virasat, etc.
Our first two days were at Zone By The Park and I would be doing a separate post about it, coz the experience was mind blowing.
Dress: StalkBuyLove
Earrings: The Trunk Label

They have all the websites under one roof from Amazon, Jabong to Flipkart, Snapdeal, etc. Website is divided into categories like Men, Women, Children, Shoes, Beauty, Watches, Accessories, etc.
The website is very easy to navigate and the sub-categories within every category are very helpful.

On Saturday I attended an interesting event which was a wine and dine at Bungalow 9 in Bandra with team LIVA. There were a few bloggers, people from LIVA, RJ Archana and fashion choreographer Shy Kalra. The event was hosted by the lovely Freishia Bomanbehram. The USP of the event was everyone was supposed to come dressed up in LIVA and fortunately no two were in same outfits 😀 #UnboxWithLiva was all about not being boxed in synthetic fabrics and how in our forever busy lifestyle, we need clothing and fabric that does not box us but lets us free. A fabric which lets you be as comfortable throughout the day as you would be in your PJ’s and do whatever you wish to.
About LIVA: Liva is a new-age naturally created fabric (in a pure or blended form) that transforms not just the garment but also the person wearing it. It is comfortable, soft, 100% natural, and eco-friendly. It is a part of ‘Aditya Birla’ group.
A fabric so fluid, so breathable, so comfortable… that it moves with you. It is designed keeping the new age woman in mind, this fabric defies all norms of conventional materials and aims to keep you going through the day without being weighed down.
LIVA is made from natural fibres which are produced from wood pulp, a natural renewable resource. The pulp used is from trees which are specifically grown for this purpose i.e. more new trees are planted than trees are cut. It gives the earth a much-needed green cover, saves 6-7 times more land in comparison to cotton, and saves 3-4 times more water than usual.
We got to know a lot about Liva and how it is not only comfortable but also eco – friendly, made from wood pulp, conserves water, everything about this fabric is only good!
Also there was a fun photo booth where we clicked lots of pictures with the Liva hashtag placards.
This was the first time I had tried a Liva garment and I was so surprised by how comfortable and light it was, the fabric is outstanding! You know how terrible hot and humid it is currently in Mumbai, it is around 34-35°C. I was wearing this dress since afternoon and in that 4-5 hours, not even once did I feel uncomfortable or rushing home and changing into my PJ’s. The fabric felt absolutely light and comfortable.
LIVA retails at AND, Global Desi, 109°F, Lifestyle, Pantaloons, Desi Belle at Central, Allen Solly and Van Heusen to name a few, but you have to specifically ask them for Liva fabric coz not all garments are Liva. Liva garments have a separate pink ‘Liva’ tag on them.
I bought this pretty black and orange maxi dress from Global Desi, there were just 3 options at Global Desi, 2 maxi dresses and 1 midi dress. Of which I liked this one the most.
I also checked AND and 109°F, sadly AND did not have Liva garments in their new collection and the 109°F store I went to did not have good stock, so finally settled on Global Desi and I am glad coz I love this dress.
It fits beautifully and I love the black and sunset orange combination, the orange creates an ombre here and it also has pink, gold and black detailing on the ombre.
I paired it with my nude and gold clutch, a gold watch and black sandals. Since the outfit is quite bright and colorful, it created a statement in itself and no other accessories were required with it.
Dress: Global Desi (Liva)
Sling: Accessorize
Watch: Michael Kors
Shoes: Shown HERE and HERE
On lips: Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tint Tangerine Touch
Location: Bungalow 9, Bandra
I hope you liked the outfit, also don’t forget to check out ‘Liva’ whenever you are shopping next, you will absolutely love the fabric.
Diwali is around the corner and it is one festival where a lot of exchange of gifts take place. We receive many gifts and give out many, though most of the times the gifts are cliché and not something necessarily useful for the person.
I always believe in gifting people something they would actually like and use, rather than something which would get piled up in the showcase for years.
I had gifted by husband a new phone few months ago but unfortunately his phone got stolen 1-2 weeks ago and currently he is using one of my old phones. I was planning to gift him a new phone this Diwali as it is the perfect timing. I am so glad Asus India has come up with this amazing offer this Diwali!!
Asus India is brightening up lives this Diwali with the “Har Pal Happiness Offer”, where customers buying a ASUS Zenfone will get a chance to win Flipkart gift vouchers worth Rs.1,000 every hour. And, one lucky customer will also stand a chance to win gold vouchers worth Rs.25,000 every day! The offer is available HERE.
Now that’s a win win! I get to gift someone and make that person happy plus I win myself some vouchers too 😉 I don’t mind that at all.
Gift Yourself Happiness. Because if you gift an Asus mobile this Diwali, the chances are you’ll win a gift for yourself too! The offer ends on 11th November, so make sure you utilize the offer soon.
Swatch Fall – Winter Collection 2015 Preview, Favourites
Hi guys,
A few weeks ago I attended the preview of Swatch’s new Fall – Winter 2015 Collection at Out of The Blue in Bandra. We were asked to choose a band at the entry randomly. The entire collection was kept for preview on one side and there were tables for us on the other side with cheese, wine and also the OOTB’s signature cheese and chocolate fondue.
As you can sense, the entire theme was ‘Swiss’ since Swatch is a Swiss brand and everything from the food to the decor was as per the theme. We were divided into teams according to our color bands and we had a competition where we had to use chocolate and create anything related to Swatch, Switzerland and watches.
I was in the orange band team. We made ‘I Love Swatch‘ where Swatch was the Swiss flag and Swatch logo which is the same, of course we won 🙂 We had to! :p The entire team won a Swatch watch each.
Coming to the collection, we were given a brief about the collection and how it is based on different countries and themes. The collection is inspired from India, China, Switzerland of course and a few other countries. Each country theme has a range of watches. India inspired ones are more of gold and silver with floral detailing (any my favourites are India inspired ones).
There are a lot of bright colored watches in the Fall – Winter Collection and a lot of printed whites, the colored chronograph ones are very smart and good for daily casual wear.
My favourites from the collection are ‘Delhi’ and ‘Blue Poetry’
DelhiBlue Poetry
Here I am wearing the Delhi one..it’s a slim gold chain watch with pink floral detailing and I think it would work with so many different outfits.
As you all know, I shop quite a lot from ShopBop.com. They have a lot of luxury brands and all my Michael Kors and Jeffrey Campbell, etc. are from Shopbop.
They have this Friends and Family Sale 2-3 times a year and currently a Friends and Family Sale is going on! Starting right now and ending on Friday 10/16 4AM U.S. Eastern time.
Use the code: INTHEFAM25 to get 25% off on your order! There are some brand exclusions and you can find them HERE
About PepperTap: PepperTap is changing the way people buy groceries. We are replacing your visits to the super market with a few taps on phone. We started our operations in November 2014 serving a limited area in Gurgaon. Focussed on accurate and on time deliveries, we are now available throughout the city. Simplicity and effectiveness are the key drivers of our products and service. We believe buying groceries online should not be just for early adopters and We strive to make our service more accessible so anyone can free up their time to do what they love.
There have been so many apps to shop groceries out now in the market. But I think Peppertap’s claim to deliver in 2 hours in unbeatable!
You get 20% off on your first order using ‘TAP20’ maximum upto Rs.200/- I am glad that one can see this message and use the 20% off discount, because majority of the times the coupon code is available online or on their social media and one has to search. If you are not very social media friendly, you could miss out on the coupon code but Peppertap displays it on your login.
I tried to shop from Peppertap and it was a breeze. The interface and layout is amazing. I have tried 1-2 other grocery apps and for buying stuff worth Rs.1000 took me 3 hours! I was so surprised and happy to see the amazing layout and easy navigation of the Peppertap app.
As you can see above, there are categories like Popular (most sold), Food & Drink, Staples & Spices, Fruits & Vegetables, Breakfast & Dairy, Bath & Body, etc. And then there are sub categories like Flour, Oil & Ghee, Rice, Salt & Sugar, etc. within Staples & Spices.
They list all brands and types of flour available with the price, quantity, discount, etc for each item. This was so convenient coz I have spent a lot of time on other apps using the ‘Search’ option as it was not bifurcated that well.
They have some items like broccoli, babycorn, mushrooms, etc. but still don’t stock red cabbage, olives, etc. I hope they add more products to their kitty.
They have free shipping above Rs.250/-, below which they have shipping charges of Rs.50/-
On checkout, you get two options for Delivery Time and Payment Type. If you want the order to be delivered ‘NOW’ i.e. in 2 hours or a later time where you select a time slot. And Payment Type, whether Cash on Delivery or Paying Online.
Peppertap App is available both on Android and iOS.
I definitely suggest you guys try the Peppertap app. And you get your order delivered in just 2 hours which is the best part, because even when you go out to buy stuff, picking up stuff, standing in queue to pay and returning back carrying all those heavy bags will take you 2 hours or perhaps more!
Save your time and efforts and your weekend, if you are working by ordering all your groceries on your phone at the comfort of your home or even while you are travelling.
Peppertap definitely gets a big thumbs up from my side and I will be ordering from them more often, what about you? What do you guys think of the Peppertap app?
