Going red

Heylo people!

So today is going to be an outfit post. My friend recently celebrated her 21 st bday so we had this huge bash. The theme was headgear for girls and tie for the guys. I was out of stock for dresses so I did what I do the best, went shopping. I came upon this lovely red dress. It has gold on the borders giving it a nice ethnic look. So going with the outfit I chose my favorite neck piece which I picked up from Kala ghoda festival.
Now for the headgear I was in a fix, so I decided to wear a simple red flower (handmade). And tadaaa I had a nice outfit. It does not suit the bill of a typical cliche party outfit but I somehow loved it since it was so different. Here are a few snaps of my outfit and the party. I am not much of a makeup person so I chose to keep it simple.
Dress: Bandra, bangles: Vero moda, Neck pice : Kala ghoda, earrings : diamonds vintage




And here are some headgear's worn by other girls.

That's Neha and me!
Make up (on me): Foundation: Revlon, gold sparkles: miss clair, lip gloss: Avon nude, eyeliner :Lakme

 The most yummiest cake ever!

This is a closer look at the neck piece. I bought this from an artisan who came from Hydrabad in kala ghoda festival. Its made in brass. I call it the alpha male of all my ethnic wear. The earrings tagged along with it

Head over to check out my some chunky neck pieces here

That's it for now.
Coming up in next post- Product review of Neutregena fairness cream
Until next time.
Happy reading!

Review: 

   Just a few years ago, shopping sprees meant the whole family putting on their best clothes, getting into the car, and setting off for hours, on a shop-to-shop escapade. While that was probably fun for the kids, it was a nuisance for adults, who had many better things to do, like may be watch a movie, or simply lounge on the couch watching TV all day long! Gratefully, with the advent of online shopping, we can finally reclaim our weekends, and be spared of waiting for forever outside try rooms, while our shopping companions try on dozens of clothes.
Online shopping can be quite an art, and there are some basic rules that you’ll need to master as a beginner. One of the biggest advantages that you get as an online shopper, is that of price comparison. Being liberated from the menace of bargaining, negotiating, and wondering if the next shop has the same thing at a cheaper price, you can finally shop in peace, with your choices neatly cascaded on a single window. Here are a few tips to save money while shopping online-

·         Subscribe to newsletters- It is a good idea to provide your email address to the websites that you love best, and keep a tab on their latest offers, discounts, and coupon codes through their newsletters.
·         Check out for websites with points on offer- Certain online shopping site allow you to accumulate points while you shop, and as these points get added up, you can redeem them for reasonable discounts.
·         Do not overlook shipping costs- What might appear to be an unbelievably priced item might end up being a lot more expensive when you add the shipping charges to it. Free shipping is always a plus for buyers, as it avoids rude shocks by the end of the deal.



Hoping you are now armed to get the best deals, there are a few other things that are worth considering as an online shopper. If for instance, you are on the lookout for ethnic Indian wear, India Emporium is a site that ticks on nearly everything that you could possibly want.
A relatively new website, it is experiencing a rapid rise in popularity, thanks to its amazing collection and terrific services. Right from sarees and lehengas to more basic outfits like salwar kameez suits and kurtis, it is a single stop for all things traditional. What’s more, you can even shop for jewelry and other accessories to complement each of your looks.
What I loved best about the website, was the fact that they offered customized tailoring for blouses and salwar kameez, which meant that when the order was delivered, it was ready-to-wear. This is an attractive feature to look out for, especially when shopping for ethnic wear online. I bought a lovely cotton salwar kameez suit, which fitted like a dream, and had no hidden costs. This lovely outfit has made it to my wish list and I can’t wait to place an order for it-
There must be a lot more terrific websites there, so just look out for the one that suits your needs best, and spread the word! India Emporium has been that website for me. I’d strongly recommend it to anyone with a love for Indian traditional wear.

Thats it for now!
Till then until next time,
Happy reading :)
