Winter Wonderland

Hey everyone! 

So I was thinking of writing about the greatest thing of this century. Online shopping! I know!

The satisfaction of finding that one thing you have been lusting over for over a month and finally being able to purchase it and getting it delivered to your doorstep, not to forget without even having to leave your blanket, is definitely a boon.

And among the hundreds of websites, I think one very useful portal is Ebay.in

Ebay is a one stop shop for all your needs including the once in a while quirky finds, if you are lucky.

Also, being a marketplace, you have a lot of options and very good deals.

I also wanted to share that Ebay has their own dedicated Ebay Blog on fashion & lifestyle. You can find very good articles on fashion, outfit ideas, style, and so much more.

So I was thrilled when Ebay contacted me to write a guest post for their blog. 

Head over to their blog to read my post about Winter Dressing Tips where I talk about outfit ideas for winter.

Winter Dressing Tips for a Kolkata Chic

I hope you like my ideas. 

Do let me know if you have also found some unique or quirky items on Ebay.in

When in doubt, go Irish!

"Alcohol is man's worst enemy but the Bible says love your enemey"

And that is exactly what we do! :-p

So last week my sister and I went to meet our childhood friend since both of them were in town after a very long time.

We went to the newly opened Irish Pub in broad daylight. And obviously it was empty because who goes to a pub at 1 in the afternoon. But we ended up having a great time and we laughed a lot! The food was good but the place is definitely over priced because we got a massive bill later on :-p

I wore my amazing Alto Moda black paneled jeggings with an over sized dolman sleeved top from AND.

Frizzy Hair :-p

I am wearing -
Top - AND
Jeggings - Alto Moda(Pantaloons)
Ballet Flats - Sarojini Nagar(Delhi)

Until next time!

OOTD with Triveni Sarees!

Hi Everyone!

I am really excited to share with you my shopping experience with Triveni Sarees!

Trivenisarees.com is an online shopping portal for an exquisite range of Indian wear. So I was thrilled when they approached me for a outfit post on my blog. 

I was really impressed by the collection they had online and finally chose an anarkali style embroidered cotton salwar suit in cream & green. After filling up a very detailed measurement sheet, finally my order was in place and I received the lovely outfit in just 24 days. It was accompanied with straight pants that I had ordered and a very pretty duppatta.

Here's a first look of the outfit!

Sadly the straight pants was a little tight, so I paired the kurta with a churidaar and it still looked fabulous. Here are the final images of my OOTD with Triveni Sarees!

This is the actual green color of the outfit. In all the other pictures, it looks kind of teal blue.

I love the embroidery on the neckline, which looks like a very pretty necklace.

The fitting of the kurta was perfect and I really loved it! The color is very rich and goes really well with the cream base. The kurta is made in Cotton with Chiffon sleeves and the duppatta is in Georgette.

The embroidery on the sleeves is done very neatly and I don't know about you guys but I feel it helps in slimming my fat arms. Happy me :-) ! 

Here is what I saw on the website and what I actually got. Definitely a difference in color but I like the actual one more than the one on the website.

I'll just wrap this up with a brief introduction of Triveni Sarees - 

Triveni Sarees is a 29 year old institution set up by Mr Giridhar Saraf, which until recently only manufactured sarees but have now introduced Salwar Suits, Lehenga Cholis, Lehenga Sarees etc.

Long time no Outfit Post!

I know it's been for ever since I did an outfit post because you know.....so many reasons!

Anyhoo, here I am! So basically I am bit busy with my work and two exhibitions next month which is why I didn't have anything to post for a while.

But last week, my sister came back home along with her friend. So we decided to show her our city, since her friend is from Malaysia and its her first time in Kolkata.

So our first and only tourist destination, the Victoria Memorial. I wore tangerine jeggings and the overly cliche'd monochrome stripe tunic with gold accessories and a messy hairdo.

Enjoy the pictures.

Outfit Post - Neon+Pastel

My favorite colors this season are everything in neon and everything in pastel. A store window with neon/pastel clothed mannequins staring at me in flashy lights can bring happiness to me in the most gloomiest days. So, I just had to buy this neon coral colored blouse top from Vero Moda. Its really sheer and I love the tie-up string at the neckline.

Anyways, in my last post I wrote about my online shopping experience at fashion accessories brand Addons at their online website www.addons.co.in 

As I had mentioned that I really love their collection of necklaces, bracelets & earrings. The collection is absolutely contemporary, chic & trendy yet reasonably priced. Here are a few of the designs I liked.

Addons gold layered necklace with filigree design 

Addons silver coloured western necklace with floral cutout design

Addons gold and orange coloured tribal design statement necklace

Addons black and gold necklace with fabric trim detail

Addons black chain bracelet with rings

Addons purple coloured bracelet with abstract metal design

And now moving on to what I bought which is a neon green tribal inspired necklace and a black cutwork encrusted with diamonte bracelet.

 And I paired these with my coral blouse mentioned above and black jeggings.

Monsoon Magic

Monsoon Magic

Kurti - Anouk from Myntra

Leggings - Pantaloons

Bellies - Accessorize

Bag - Pratha

Earrings - Spencers

Its almost monsoon here in Kolkata and its been a well mix of sunny & rainy days. I have been a little busy with work lately but here I am with an outfit post after a long time. 

I really like the print play and the lovely indigo color of this kurti from the Indigo collection of 'Anouk' bought online at Myntra. The pink button detailing is also very nice.

And let me tell  you about this pretty bag that I am carrying. Its a hand block printed clutch bag from a Varanasi based brand callled 'Pratha', designed by Parul Shah.  I met her at my last exhibition where she was showcasing her collection as well.

Also, I got a new haircut and its short. I am feeling really skeptical about it so do share what you think of this new hairstyle. Not that I can do much about it now!

Hope you all have a magical monsoon weekend! 

Anra @ Colors - The Perfect Palette

My first exhibition in Kolkata was a reasonably good experience. It was a three day event wherein a lot of brands had come together to showcase their collections. My stall space was a little small but I tried to make the most out of it. 

So here are a few pictures of my stall -

My handmade scarf display heads

Handmade jewellery and folders

Moving over to what I was wearing during the event. I wore tunics from my own collection on both days.

Day 1 - I wore the layered vest inspired tunic made with handwoven cotton tant with yellow leggings. This style got sold out on the first day! 

Day 2 - I wore a teal colored tunic made with cotton and silk tant with tangerine jeggings and finished the look with a mustard cotton scarf.

I had a lot of fun meeting new people and making new friends. I am also thankful to my friends and family for all their support. I hope this would prove to be a stepping stone in my career.  *Fingers crossed*
