OOTD: Indian Wear with Naari

OOTD: Indian Wear with Naari

Hi guys,

I know I haven’t done an OOTD since a long time. Today I am doing an Indian wear OOTD i.e. a kurti and matching pants.

Both the kurti and pants are from Naari’s Fluid Lines Collection.

OOTD: Indian Wear with Naari,Indian Fashion Blog,Shop Naari,Indian Outfit, Kurti

Let me tell you a little bit more about Naari first.

About Naari: Desi elements fused with contemporary styles is what Naari is all about. This love love affair is prominent in every piece of fabric designed for an overall ethnic experience. A channel for your personal style and a gateway to high fashion prêt . Integrating the modern Indian woman’s quality, design and personal taste requirements, Naari is the fusion fiesta for the wardrobe.

So as you read, Naari is a perfect amalgamation of modern and traditional. It is Indian wear with a twist i.e. fusion wear. As you can see here, the kurti I have paired with unconventional pants and not the usual leggings. They also have palazzos, wide legged palazzos, slim pants and a lot of different options apart from the conventional leggings.

And they have different collections, i.e. True Blue, Fluid Lines, Real World, Mudcals, Secret Garden, etc. where the collection revolves around a particular concept.

One can buy kurtis, bottoms, dupattas, salwar kameez and even unstitched sets on their online website. They even have Gift Cards.

About the Fluid Lines Collection: If easy-breezy, fuss-free style is your thing, Fluid Lines must feature in your wardrobe! The collection not only boasts of a tantalizing movement of a color with a tinge of shaded pattern, but also rich Lucknowi embroidery to bring the whole look together.

I absolutely loved this simple white kurti with neon pink embroidery work, also the embroidery is placed well and it’s not all over, coz that wouldn’t be very flattering. The high low hem gives it a casual yet semi-formal look. The pink slim pants also has white thread work all over. They are stretchy and very comfortable.

Also I shot this, in the rains, so please excuse the pics :/

I hope you liked the outfit. If you love Indian wear or fusion wear, you should definitely check out ShopNaari.com

IndiaMart New TVC Featuring Irrfan Khan

IndiaMart New TVC Featuring Irrfan Khan

IndiaMART, India’s largest online marketplace, today rolled out its new brand campaign featuring Irrfan Khan, and driving the core message as ‘Kaam Yahin Banta Hai’. The objective is to create extensive awareness among masses on the wide opportunities that the platform offers to the buyers across the globe, who could easily find sellers across different product categories, by simply logging on to IndiaMART.

Conceptualized by McCann, the 360 degree initiative is set to integrate Print, TV, Radio, Outdoor and a digital mix of social media – Twitter, Facebook and Youtube. It primarily focuses on the new age buyer, who demands hassle-free buying, either to fulfill his business or personal requirements.

The TVC provides an illustration behind the key communication ‘Kaam Yahin Banta Hai’. It showcases the award winning actor Irrfan Khan as a well informed, smart and new-age employee of a manufacturing house, who is pretty confident that all his key requirements could be fulfilled through IndiaMART effortlessly, whether it involves ordering of fabric, office furniture, buttons used in manufacturing of shirts, or air conditioners, etc. Each time Irrfan needs to order something, he merely plays a tune and accomplishes his task before one may even know, thereby implying that finding the relevant suppliers/ sellers is as quick and easy on IndiaMART as playing your favourite tune. The film signs off with the brand thought “Indiamart.com – Kaam yahn banta hai”.

You can watch the TVC here: http://www.kaamyahinbantahai.com/

According to Sumit Bedi, Vice President – Marketing, IndiaMART, “We are extremely thrilled to roll out our first multi-media campaign, which focuses on increasing the brand awareness for IndiaMART, and also aims at establishing a stronger connect with the buyers. According to a recent global research, businesses spend 52% of their time in identifying the right business partners. This is where IndiaMART comes into the picture. A move in this direction, the TVC seeks to highlight the fact that IndiaMART allows buyers to shorten the time they spend in doing the same and find genuine sellers with help of just a click.”

Sumit adds, “Our brand thought ‘Kaam yahin banta hai’ perfectly captures the essence of IndiaMART and how it has made possible for businesses to get their work done in no time. Irrfan has lent realism to our brand, with his extremely effective style of communicating messages, with which a common man is able to connect. Along with this, I am confident that the right blend of mass media channels would ensure that we reach out to all and clearly convey what we stand for.”

Presently home to more than 15 lac sellers and hosting over 3.5 crore products, IndiaMART has been successfully helping millions of buyers fulfill their needs, whether business or personal.

“The campaign captures the USP of IndiaMART which is convenience – ease of buying”, says Aneesh Jaisinghani – ECD, McCann Group. He adds, “The TVC is targeted at the smart buyers who are looking for a much reliable, quick & effective solution for all their key buying requirements. It establishes the fact that IndiaMART is their first choice”.
Keeping upbeat with the hashtag trend, a massive digital campaign was held around Twitter (http://bit.ly/1yo0akq) and Facebook (http://on.fb.me/11mGUZr) page of IndiaMART earlier in the week, asking people to share their favourite #aaramkitune (tune that relaxes them the most) and enabling IndiaMART create the longest playlist of Aaram ki tunes. The contest was a precursor to the main TVC, where Irrfan Khan plays his aaram ki tune while buying through IndiaMART.

PrettySecrets.com Haul and Experience

PrettySecrets.com Haul and Experience

Hey everyone,

So I had to stock on some basic essentials for my bridal trousseau. I did most of my lingerie shopping during the Marks & Spencer sale. But still, I can’t resist shopping online whenever I see something good.

ABOUT PRETTYSECRETS: PrettySecrets.com is India’s premium online lingerie store featuring sexy & trendy collection of bras, panties, lingerie sets, nightwear, swimwear, activewear & women dresses. Shop with us and get the latest styles of women lingerie & apparel delivered at your doorstep. You can order women innerwear on COD, and get benefits like discreet packaging, easy exchanges & returns. Enjoy the best online lingerie shopping experience at PrettySecrets.com!

Easy Returns Policy, Free Shipping Above Rs.750/-, Rs.50 extra shipping charges below that. Cash on Delivery available at Rs.50/- extra.

I actually was searching for a backless bra or one with transparent straps at the back for deep back cholis and dresses. Not really silicone cups, but something which sticks to the side and something which can be used for a longer time, not the disposable ones, coz they turn out too expensive.

If you come across one with transparent straps at the back, then do let me know.

I did see extenders on PrettySecrets but then they were not taking the straps too down, hardly 1-2 inches, which did not fulfill the purpose.

I chose this set of 3 basic cotton panties and this super s*xy Pink and Blue wave print Full Cover Invisi-Bra. Both are super comfy and soft and easy to wear.

I have usually always worn seamless bras, coz I never liked those seams showing up. So this one was perfect, as it was seamless, is convertible, very soft light padding (hate thick ones), underwired yet comfortable. Loved the design and print too.

I liked their overall collection. They also have Buy 2 Get 1 Free and many other offers (See HERE) and some hot designs. I received my stuff within 4-5 days of ordering and it was pretty smooth to order. Also liked the pink box packaging. Everything was nicely packed with 2-3 layers, etc.

I only wish they did not have the extra charges for COD. Somehow I don’t like it, when sites charge extra for COD. Customers should be given that option for free. And also if they stocked on more backless and convertible options and different kinds of extenders which we get outside India.

Overall I am happy with the site and experience and the stuff I ordered. I am definitely shopping again. Do check out PrettySecrets.com

Have you shopped from PrettySecrets.com before ? Where do you shop your lingerie from ? Any site for backless bras ?

P.S: I got a voucher to shop for, but that has not affected my opinion.

All New Revamped Sia Jewellery.com

All New Revamped Sia Jewellery.com

Hey guys,

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 had specs from my 4th standard and there were only these 2-3 opticians in your local market in those days. A proper ophthalmologist would check your power and prescribe the number. And then you go to the optician, and select one out of the 10-15 boring frames !! Like, literally boring. I have even worn Gandhiji glasses :hides face:

But, gone are those days now ! With everything being online these days, why should your glasses, lenses or branded shades be far away.

With a site like Lenskart.com, you can stock your contact lenses or buy the frame you like and get it delivered at your doorstep, plus I guess, you always save some bucks with those extra discounts and coupons (I do :D)

Many people these days love to experiment with colored lenses, those are easily available too. And some drool worthy shades from Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Tifosi, Oakley, Vogue, etc..The collection of Ray Ban sunglasses at lenskart.com is pretty awesome. Surely worth checking out.

You can see the different views from a 360 degrees angle and also on your own pic before buying. They also have a try and buy policy which means you pay cash on delivery, only if you try it and like it. I love that !

I am really loving those cat eyed geeky glasses these days and eyeing one from Lenskart. Definitely getting it.

Lovelyshoes.net Haul and Review

Since the time I posted the shoes pic on Instagram (Oh yes..I am on Instagram..and my id is bhumika_t…please follow me for my updates, rants, pics, hauls, fotds 😀 ), many of you asked me about where did I get those from..so the secret reveals..

Yes..Lovelyshoes.net

Its a super awesome site where not only shoes, but also clothes are at super cheap prices..yes the shipping cost is added according to weight..but if you buy from their sale i.e the reduced prices like me..even after the shipping, its pretty reasonable.

About Lovelyshoes: Lovely Fashion is a global online fashion retailer and wholesaler.

North America, e.g. USA
Oceania, e.g. Australia, New Zealand
Europe, e.g. Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, France, Germany, UK

Coming to my haul, I bought this leopard print crop top..cant wait to do an outfit post with it..

Black ankle strap open toe wedges..the heels are longgg..I did not expect that much height :p But its fine..coz they are not heavy..and quite comfy..

Black leather boots with metal buckles..these are sooo soft and super comfy and light weight..and feel perfectly warm..my favorites..

And lastly these beige and khakhi glitter ankle length sneakers..these look so chic ! But these are definitely a little heavy :/ I wish these were lighter too..


I used Aramex Express for shipping..like I always do in wholesale-dress.net too..and its quick and pretty reasonable compared to other options..I received my package in 3 days flat !! Thats the best part..no long waiting period !


I highly highly recommend this site..especially for shoes ! Must check !

Sorry for the pics with flash…it was dark when I clicked the pics..and I was pretty excited to open and try stuff :p

By the way my cam’s flash is always this bright that it completely darkens the background..and it always washes out my eye makeup or other makeup if I use flash..that makes me wonder how do you guys click eye makeup pics with flash ? Any tips, suggestions ?

Did you like the shoes? Which ones are your favorite ?

Cosmetic Love strive to provide our customers with the wide range of Korean cosmetic products from various Korea brands such as Laneige, Etude House, Tony Moly, Missha, Skinfood, TheFaceShop etc, and we are planning to exapnd our line-up of other beauty brands as well.

We are continually updating products to meet our customer needs, so check back our store often to see New-Arrival.

I had placed an order an month back..I know it took super long 🙁 And also I was charged $4 customs duty on it 🙁 But it was nicely packed with bubble wrap and cute star shaped sponges..but they have free shipping all over the world..if you need a tracking number, then $2.5 and if you choose express shipping, then $22.

I like the fact that they have free shipping..all international sites who have free shipping are my favorites ! 😀 Though we cannot be spared from customs :/ I wish they spared ‘Beauty Bloggers’ with a special section created in the Act…here talks my inner CA :p

I had ordered for Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips talk in JOR 203..which is a super bright and vivid orange..and Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer..which makes eye shadows pop like anything and stays put whole day without any creasing !

I am loving both of these !! My current favorites and a lot used these days…

Here is the lipstick on me..

It is super glossy and hydrating..more like a lip gloss..but does not stay long..max 2-3 hours..I don’t mind reapplying..and I am in love with the shade..

I highly recommend this site..also coz they have free shipping…and currently they have discounts on many items..plus they also have free combo offers..


Have you shopped from Cosmetic-love.com ? Have you tried Etude House products ?


P.S: Product sent by brand but it has not affected my review.

Shopping on TV- HomeShop18 TV

Shopping on TV- HomeShop18 TV

I am sure most of you must have seen the HomeShop18 channel on TV. I have shopped for jewellery and kurtis a couple of times from them and really love the offers they have.

I love this whole shopping on TV experience. I mean even housewives or people who are not well versed with the internet and computers can get the benefit of shopping and getting these exclusive offers because of these shopping channels… Don’t you think so?

I got 10 pairs of jewellery sets… 5 huge and 5 small for about 2500 bucks, which was quite an amazing deal.

The fact that these anchors explain everything quite well, show the live demo, explain the features, etc. and also mix and match stuff in apparels, is quite good. Every subtle point is taken care of.

These days HomeShop18 TV has a Today’s Special Offer called B.O.S.S, one hour show at 11AM every day. And every day they come up with one new product which is given away at a very good price!

I saw this Spice Coolpad MI-515 Quad Core cell phone which costs about Rs.9089/- normally on other sites and it  was for available on HomeShop18 @Rs.6999/- which was an amazing offer.I could not believe the discount at which I got the phone .

I wanted to gift a new cell phone to my brother and I thought this was a great deal, so I immediately called and placed an order. I received it in 3 days flat with free shipping & cash on delivery and no extra hidden charges anywhere.

It also comes with extra vouchers for placing orders next time and a slide cover.

Since I have placed orders before, they have all the information and do not need any extra info and it’s fast and quite easy to place the order.


Today’s Special Offer started  from 6th Dec 2013 and  it has been part of my routine ever since every morning at 11 AM.

The show creates a wave of excitement for their loyal customers like me with BUMPER products at an unmatched offer and unbeatable savings. The deals have been made special and sweetened with free gifts/prizes/lowered.

I say, go for B.O.S.S. on HomeShop18 😉
