When we were born, the first clothing we had when we came out from our mother’s womb was a pink towel. That is how our father, our grandparents and our siblings received us, wrapped up in pink, a bundle of love and joy. When we left the hospital, safely cradled in our mother’s arms, we wore those lovely soft cotton pink onesies which she had bought 5 months before our birth. Pink was our label ever since we came on Earth. Pink the soft and soothing colour, always pleasing and comforting in everybody’s eyes. Continue Reading…
If a woman says she doesn’t like shiny things, she is lying. And I never lie! Which is why I am proudly showing you my new holiday jewellery haul. Shiny and sparkly are two words that always grab my attention. With so many weddings and parties to attend, I am always looking for good statement pieces. Which is when I landed up at the Voylla jewellery collection. I surfed their entire website in my comfy pajamas while sipping on some hot chocolate (hello winter!) and ended up getting 4 statement pieces from their new women’s collection. I made sure to get jewellery I can wear to not just Indian weddings but events and parties in general which as a fashion blogger I get invited to a lot. Continue Reading…
You don’t see a lot of outfit posts on Petite Peeve in winters. Actually no outfit post. Well because its so freaking cold here in Delhi! Simply the thought of changing and getting into a short dress scares me more than umm….running into a tiger? So I found a way to brave winters. I traded my feminine side for the chic biker girl. Leather jackets, ripped pants, chunky boots and neutral makeup is now my official winter look. And call it the Kylie Jenner fad or what but I’ve fallen in love with the colour brown big time. From my clothes to hair..everything needs to be in a shade of brown. My previous posts must have told you I am now a brunette. I got rid of my golden ombre locks and went medium chocolate brown. In terms of makeup, all my eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, etc are in different hues of brown. Continue Reading…
Honey I coloured my hair again! It amazes me to think there was a time I thought I would never colour my hair. Nope. Not a chance. And look at me now. Last year I tested the waters with an at home hair colouring kit. I liked the result but those things are difficult to show up and fade away pretty soon. So I went to a salon and asked for an ombre..given my obsession with ombre last year it surprised nobody. It took me 2 more hair jobs to fix the colour because first it was too subtle and the next time too bright. By June this year I was already bored of it. But I just didn’t know what to do with it. I couldn’t go out and pick any shade..its my hair..HAIR! Continue Reading…
If you follow me on my instagram (@vanitynoapologies) and snapchat (@vanitynoapology) then you know I recently went for a hair makeover. This post is all about the queries I got after that. I went for 2 services that day: liquid hair and hair colour. I will talk about Wella SP Liquid Hair in this post and in the next post I will talk all about my new hair colour with tons of pictures for you to drool over. The reason I went for the liquid hair treatment from Wella because as you know I suffer from hair fall issues in this season. A lot of experts tell me I’m blessed with beautiful hair but a girl has to worry or she isnt a girl! I’ve been heat styling and blow drying my hair for a lot of events and it definitely takes a toll on my hair. Add to it the autumn season when I suffer from hair fall and dandruff which scares me everytime I shampoo or brush my hair. So I booked an appointment at Affinity Salon, Pitampura which is like 15 mins from my place and walked through the door at around 11am the next weekend. Continue Reading…
Sailor was in town recently and ofcourse I had to rush to a salon to get myself fixed, as always. This time I picked Neu Salonz after seeing a lot of buzz about them on facebook. They have a salon in Gurgaon but they recently opened in GK 1, M Block market in Delhi which is closer to my place so I booked myself an appointment and walked through the door at 11 in the morning. I always pick early hours because I hate to miss my gym in the evening. So I figured it would take 2-3 hours max and I would head back. But no! I added one service after another and walked out of the door after spending close to 5 hours! No surprises that I skipped my gym class and let myself get pampered by the professionals there. I immediately fell in love with the new age decor of the salon. The theme was black and white which I personally love at spas and salons. Everything looked chic and modern with mirrors at every step. It felt like a backstage green room! Continue Reading…
Deepika Padukone, probably the one and only among her peers to carry both the Indian and western look with élan, can look like both a diva and a girl next door. With an impeccable sense of style and aura coupled with flawless tinge of grace and charm, the way she carried herself throughout her little span of her journey in Bollywood compared to others sets her apart from the rest of the lot. Her sense of fashion and styling is a class apart and a paradigm shifter of this era. Finally the style queen of Bollywood launched her own fashion label which is called “All About You” in collaboration with Myntra. Continue Reading…
If you know me then you know spas are my jam. I HAVE to get either a hair spa or if the time allows, a full body spa every month. So this time I picked Fresco by Tattva Spa in Lemon Tree Premier Hotel, Gurgaon. If you are on a budget and can’t think of spending that hard earned money on “just a spa” then Tattva spa is your thing.
Reaching the spa was a task I tell you! I live at the opposite end of the city so I took off early. BUT! If you are planning to go there for the first time then this might help you, there are 2 Lemon Tree Premiere Hotels in Delhi NCR. One near the Delhi IGI airport and the other near Leisure Valley. Since both of them fall near/inside gurgaon so I by mistake went to the one near the airport. Eeee Big Mistake! Had to hail my cab again! Anyway here goes my experience and review of the Fresco by Tattva Day Spa. Continue Reading…
Honestly I have always preferred winters over summers. But one can’t deny that summer style is the best! Who needs layering when you can flaunt those worked out arms and abs in the flowy summer clothing. Talking of work outs, I have recently joined a fitness class where we mix cardio with dance and yoga. After I graduate in cardio a little bit (never had proper exercise in my life!) I would be joining a gym soon for strength training. I’m also looking over my diet which really just means eating a lot of home cooked meals and skipping everything packaged and imported. Seasonal and local food is the best when you are watching your weight. If you want me to talk about my diet and fitness in detail then let me know and I will do a post on it. Continue Reading…
