Za Palooza Music and Art Fest

Sometime back I went to a fun art and music fest called Za Palooza organised by a dear friend. It was a lovely experience with some really talented people showcasing their stuff. From funky junk jewellery, to ethnic apparel, kitsch home products and some gorgeous linen it was all there and more. There were 10 Rock Bands playing and we got to hear some lovely songs. Food line-up was equally awesome and good variety of different kinds of food. My friends and I attacked the golgappa stall. ;) There is a bakery opening up in Koregaon Park called Mahlzeit which shall serve the most awesome Currywurst and Bratwurst. Tried and Tested.. :) If you love Indian Food, there was Makkan Maar Ke which specialise in rich Indian food. If you are a true blue Punjabi you got to try this one out. :)

I particularly loved one brand, Dolalley Decor which was focussed on recycling and had some lovely stuff on display.

I didn't really feel like Shopping much, perhaps I was feeling sick.. Lolzzzz. I picked a bling head accessory from Trinket Square though.. It looked really funky and quirky. I am hoping to soon go for a disco party coz that would be the perfect accessory to team it with my outfit. Yay yay can't wait.

I couldn't take pics as my little one was making us run around and wanted to enjoy the rides and swings. But I do have some of me and him.

The Maxi Affair

My love for long dresses started even before I knew it. I absolutely loved the feminine girlie charm it added to my personality. Not that there was any dirth of girlieness in me. ;)

Black Floral maxi - Vero Moda

What I love about gowns is that you can explore so much be it the fabric, colours or patterns. Monotone gowns, colour block, floral prints, halter backs, off-shoulder, backless the list is endless.. :) Not just the patterns, colours etc. even the way you can team it is interesting. Wear a shrug, blazer, waistcoat or perhaps even a knotted shirt if you are the daring sort over your maxi and you can look chic.

It also makes one look slimmer and shows off all the curves at just the right places.. Ain't that the best thing?

Dunkin Donuts Review

A spectacular opening is what we all experienced at the recently launched Dunkin’ Donuts store at Phoenix Market City, Viman Nagar. It was a well-planned event the highlight being the free donuts coupons for a year. The crowd was eager and ecstatic and they weren’t disappointed. :) 

The store isn’t very big however it is comfortable. I particularly liked the upholstered sofas as it gave a warm feel.  The staff was friendly and courteous. One doesn’t need to wait long for their order to be processed, the team is well-trained and efficient.

A much awaited variety for sweetoholics, Dunkin Donuts offers an array of different and yummy flavours. You just can’t stop at one. ;)

Great Packaging, good quantities and oh so flavourful is what completes Dunkin Donuts. Plenty to choose from each donut is a must try, well maybe not in one go. ;)

I personally loved their Death By Chocolate, it melts in your mouth and is absolutely sinful. Another favourite is the Very Very Blueberry. If you are a berries fan this one you can’t miss. The white chocolate ganache feels like heaven with a mix of the blueberries.

Dunkin Donuts is a must visit and it is going to be worth it.

Outfit for radically different ocassions!

A quick trip to the grocery store and a work meeting thereafter had me thinking on my outfit and what would suit both the occasions. Not that I don't think and think about what to wear each single day, yet grocery and a formal meeting don't necessarily happen on the same day!!! ;)

So, this is what I wore:-

Maroon Pants - Vero Moda

Tee Shirt - Zara

Jacket - Quirk Box

Ballerinas - Much More

H2O Second Store Launch

What a fun Wednesday it was!!! I got invited to the launch of the best hair salons in the city. Hair 2 Order or H2O as it is popularly known opened their second salon in Bibewadi. The best part it is super close to my home so plenty of more pampering sessions in store for me!! Yay yay.

The ambience is hip and happening just like the team at H2O. The warmth and friendliness, the staff exudes is mind blowing.. One feels pampered even before you try out any of the services. Sounds blissful right??

So for the launch anyone who walked in was offered a free service - a blow dry, foot massage, face clean up, express manicure pedicure etc. I opted for a foot massage and since I hung around long enough also got my hair washed and blow dried. So end result - top to bottom I felt good.

Must Try:-

 

* Spa Pedicure and Manicure - you are made to sit in those super cool massage chairs where you get a back massage while your hands and feet are cleaned up.

The entire experience is wonderful, luxury salons do spoil you that way. ;) Each service has a unique personalised touch attached to it and you come back feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Outings and Outfits!!

Being a Mom comes with its pros and cons.. First and foremost the idea of going out is completely changed. Especially, if you are in a nuclear family pubbing and clubbing is entirely dependant on relatives or amazing friends. While we have both with God's Grace yet every time trying to organise it is not easy.

So, coming back to outings I have to make peace with whenever I get to step out. Most frequently of course is grocery shopping with the monthly Parent Teacher's Meetings coming a close second.

 

So here is what I wore to my son's PTM at school.

Pants - Vero Moda

Shirt - Van Huesen

Waistcoat - Bare Denim

Bag and Shoes - Zara (not shown in the pic)

P.S - the pic isn't great as it was pouring outside so couldn't step out.. ;)

Gals Night Out!!

So amidst the hectic months of August and September I was dying to head out for an all night of girlie fun and frolic. It's been a trying time personally as well as on the work front. Work highs and lows were draining me out and I badly needed to unwind. :)

Since it was a girls night out it was a perfect chance to pull out the dresses, peep toes and make up. Yippee.

What I wore:

• Vero Moda strappy floral printed Maxi.

• Black oversized clutch from Giorgio Armani

• Black peep toes from catwalk

Since the girls were to let their hair down, the dress was a perfect choice. As such I love long dresses, they suit my body type and add to the feel good factor for me.
