Not just another slimming Centre! #VLCCStyleStatements
Am I the only one who thought of VLCC as a place that mysteriously helps people slim down tons of weight in the least amount of time? With their marketing campaigns, and the movie Badhai ho Badhai, Anil Kapoors fat to fit stunt was their shot to fame in my head. Clear about being the best slimming Centre ever! Although I have been noticing their increasing presence in the beauty products segment, available in lead stores. I didn’t take them quite seriously. Until the recent #VLCCStyleStatement event. From the latest Vampire facial, Kardashian favourite to the changing trends in skin & hair industry. They seemed to not just know but…

Off-the-shoulder, trend that’s here to stay!
You might think that you saw too many, but don’t you find it very difficult to stop yourself from buying one more? The 90’s inspired Off-shoulder trend looks like it’s here for a while. So read on and prepare to stock up! Planning and shooting to put up posts is not half as easy as it looks. It requires us to wake up on holidays at wee hours in the morning, to catch the perfect light, draw the perfect liner while barely being able to open my eyes, and oh the struggle in location scouting. Luckily my super-team Sakshi Nahar & Sahil Shah found this amazing spot in Pune. at…

#BringTheKurtaBack – Styling your favourite kurtas in simple new ways.
Remember how there was this whole phase where kurtas were only sported by the journalist-artists-NGO volunteers, or at least people judged those to be in this profession. Then came a phase when TV serials brought the Anarkali with leggings trend. Then came the never ending straight kurtas with palazzos. Somewhere in this race of trends, the basic Lucknowi kurta was amiss. When I was 6yrs old, my mum would dress me up in pretty pastels Lucknowi kurtas with matching bindis. It was adored by all of us, she wore similar kurtas too and we gave Mom & Daughter goals to everyone! My association with XOX fashions gave me a chance to…

Stop & Smile.
Do you realize how fast you are going in the daily madness? Do you feel the wind rushing through, while you speed on every day? Do you understand that the pace at which you are running to meet deadlines doesn’t let you live any moment? Disclaimer. This is a true story. When I was younger, I had a few favorite poems, one of them I clearly remember. It’s called slow dance. I had stumbled upon it in one of the chicken soup for the teenage soul books. And it simply refuses to get out of my head. Life is not a race, so take it slower it said. Life is…

Golden Girl, here is your go-to dress for this New Year’s Eve!
From Veronica to the girl in the fairness cream ad. This Gold sequin number was everywhere I looked and I couldn’t wait to own one. Once upon a time, the thought of shiny gold attire called to mind Las Vegas party girls. However, thanks to an especially strong showing on Fall 2016 runways, metallics—specifically gold—are poised to be a seasonal standout. The trend report was further confirmed with all the divas in B-town gracing Manish Malhotra’s birthday bash all dressed in gold! This look was ideally inspired by Veronica DP’s character in Cocktail, I have had my eyes set on her beautiful gold sequin dress ever since. It can easily make you the…

My three day getaway with Grandma! #DaadiBanarasiya
For some strange reason, I dreamed of being in Banaras a few times. When I told Dad about it; he said it’s been on his mind too. My great grandparents are from the beautiful city of Varanasi. My grandma was married into this family who lived in Varanasi, when we shared with her, she said she would do anything to go back to Banaras even if for a day. And so it began, in a few months, we were off to Banaras. I was hoping for a place that would inspire me to write something better, a view so beautiful that it would make me wake up at the crack…

Post-party antics!
If the weddings have been here, so have the cocktails nights. The elaborate sangeets and the week long bachelorettes. The one night before the wedding, unending birthdays, anniversaries or simply the month of December. There is something about this time of the year. Everyone is exceptionally cheerful and wanting to party for sometimes no reason whatsoever. With all things done in excess, comes a major regretful morning. I absolutely hate those who never face a hangover or those intense hunger pangs after a night of dancing with the fam! We thought why not do a fun post party theme shoot, catching all the high spirits, the mandatory pizza and of course…

So here goes supremely affordable, really pretty, must have outfits you should adorn…

Saree with a hint of steam. #DrapeGame
Are you one of those many many girls who absolutely adore the saree on people, but would never dare to try it on? Don’t worry, You’re not alone. The ultimate sexy and traditional outfit gives a lot of us jitters with the thought of wearing it. How do you drape that? How will my curves look bulging out? How short will it make me appear? What if it opens up? and the classic fear, what if I trip and fall? While we saved the saree for farewell nights in school, and wedding receptions, there came Sonam Kapoor and broke all saree rules!! Pairing it in ways we had not imagined,…
