Girls Day Out at DLF Place, Saket

dlf-place-saket-shopping-day-brands-price-list-discounts-sale

The giant hot tava we are living in has made my life difficult for so many reasons. First, I have to deal with my super oily skin which seems to have a mood of its own. It breaks out the moment I step out in the sun. Second, it gets difficult to convince my gang to hang out. Who would like to hang out in the Delhi summer? I love street shopping but its only possible in the colder months. Which is why I love to mall around. I just came back from my fabulous goa trip and wanted to fill my bestie in with all the details so we planned to spend our weekend at DLF Place, Saket. Continue Reading…

Luxury Fashion Style Conclave

Accademia del Lusso Luxury Fashion Style Conclave with FAD

Belle watched excitedly as her father busied himself in finishing yet another one of his marvelous and ingenious inventions. This time he was determined in creating a machine which produced ice without using water! The beast sat a little far away watching the pair in front of him curiously. He dare not go near the machine as he remember how he once got tiny shock, lost his temper and that resulted in him accidentally destroying Mr. Mourice’s machine. So he sat in a corner, obediently watching with his ears alert and eyes wide. Belle marveled at how her papa got these crazy ideas and theories and wished she was more like him. His machine had failed 3 times now but he still never gave up hope and continued working on it diligently. When Mr. Maurice had started huffing and puffing the girl and the beast knew he was tired and needed rest. So they left him and walked out of the room walking side by side, admiring the clear blue sky. Continue Reading…

Play Unscripted

john-players-spring-summer-2016-collection-playunscripted

This is the first time I’m writing for boys! Over the past 6 years I have received a lot of mails from boys for not writing about them..mostly what colours to wear, which products to use, which brands to try, how to style, etc etc and its no surprise because when it comes to fashion, men are more clueless than their prettier counterparts. I said it! So I decided to get you some styling advice from a guy who knows his stuff. He is my cousin (it runs in the family you see) and spends almost all his earnings on jeans and shoes. If you ask him where all his money is..he would say he is wearing it. So who better than him to give some summer styling tips to all the men out there. John  Players recently invited us to explore their new men’s spring summer collection and I took him along so we could have some fun together while working. Continue Reading…

Wella SP Luxe Oil Therapy: Review, Products, Price

When the going gets tough, go to a parlor. Under ordinary circumstances, given my busy schedule the last thing I would take out time for is a hair spa. I am very careless with my hair and I don’t remember the last time I oiled my hair. 3 years? I have thick, lovely and superb hair..blowing my own trumpet! But even the best of hair can’t manage itself on its own. I am super busy even after working from home. What with reviews, shoots, events, etc. So with greater work comes greater responsibilities, and I hardly dedicate any time to my hair care routine. Continue Reading…

On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink

loreal-paris-la-vie-en-rose-pink-collection-on-lips

I’m not a red lip girl. I like my makeup to be soft and subtle which is why I gravitate more towards the browns and pinks family. Soft. Why is why I got really excited when L’Oreal Paris launched an exclusive pink lipstick collection. It has got lipsticks, lip glosses and nail paint in different hues of pink. I really enjoy my brown lipsticks from L’Oreal Paris which you saw in my brown obsession outfit post. This time its all pinks and I couldn’t be happier. What I love the best is that there are different shades of pink to suit different Indian skin tones right from soft romantic pinks to bright fuchsia pinks. The l’oreal paris star pink collection is named La Vie En Rose and the shades are named after different l’oreal brand ambassadors. I love Katrina’s pink and Sonam’s the best because they suit my skin tone to the T. This outfit is inspired from the same collection. Continue Reading…

Most of you know that I have been changing or say improving how we do things on VNA. I’ve been expanding the team and all this stress has been showing on body. I’ve never had hair problems before but these days I’m suffering from hair fall issues. Initially I thought it was a seasonal thing but it somehow never stopped. I knew I had to talk to a professional and that is when I booked an appointment to mt favorite Salon, Affinity Pitampura. The staff there knows me well enough by now and they know how to take care of me which is why I love going there. So last weekend when I showed up on their door, they knew I meant business! The head stylist discussed with me the issues I’ve been having lately with my hair and we started going over possible solutions. Continue Reading…

I feel my hair Renewing, I feel Revival brewing

Wella-Elements-Renewing-Shampoo-Conditioner-mask-reviews

Its no secret that I love my hair. And ever since I coloured my hair brown I have been loving it all the more. So naturally I was on a lookout for a good hair care range. I was eyeing the new elements series by Wella from a long time. All the products are made from natural tree extracts and are paraben and sulphate free. Women are becoming conscious of their beauty, they keep a close watch on the ingredients used in the products they are using. Products with maximum number of natural ingredients work the best as they never harm your skin or hair. I have been using the Wella Renewing Shampoo and Mask from a month now and I am pretty impressed with it. Lets move on to the reviews. Continue Reading…

He Coloured her Valentine with only the Brightest HUE

Beast was all fidgety when he saw the preparations being laid down for one of the most anticipated days of the year, the Valentine’s Day. He had heard Belle talk and talk about how lovely and romantic that day is for couples and Beast’s curiosity sparked. He knew Belle loved books and had said that that was the best gift she had ever received, but he couldn’t help but wonder, if he arranged for a romantic night for Belle on 14th of February, would she become closer to him and begin to love him as he loved her?
