At an event organized at Hotel Claridges, Delhi last week, the stunner Deepika Padukone and Myntra - India's leading Online Shopping app, have launched a chic fashion label called 'All About You'.


The brand was conceptualized over a period of nine months in collaboration with French design agency, Carlin and online fashion portal, Myntra with close inputs and designs from Deepika herself.

Deepika has always maintained that her style is mostly minimalist and elegant, which also reflects in her new collection launched exclusively through Myntra. She states - "These clothes are an extension of my Personality. This is what I like to wear".

In a fun-filled musical event, models sashayed the ramp wearing feminine florals, flowy dresses, delicate detailed tops, and other easy-to-wear styles that reflected a comfortable yet chic fashion statement that Deepika is known for.


The AW range from the collection was my favorite which featured sweater drapes in cream, camel hues and monochrome checks.

The collection also features premium silhouettes and fabrics like  hammered satin, viscose & jacquards, lurex knits, blended knits, super soft crepe and premium denims. It is also priced very reasonably, keeping in mind the country's youth, starting at Rs 1500 onwards only, available exclusively at Myntra app.

Deepika stunned as the Showstopper, dressed in trendy of flared jeans, a floral printed top and sexy marsala-colored heels. She looked gorgeous as ever in a half hair up-do, red lips and accessorized her look with jhumkas.



You can head to Myntra app now to shop for this chic collection  before it runs Out of Stock (with the beautiful designs and reasonable pricing, I am sure it will be pretty soon.

Raghu Ram, Rannvijay and Rajiv Laxman

 The fashion show was nothing less than a fun-filled and adrenaline-fuelled Roadies episode that was organized at The Grand, New Delhi.

Walking on the ramp were renowned former contestants and true Roadies like Ayaz Ahmed, Gurmeet Singh, Varun Sood and Nikhil Sachdeva who killed the ramp with their confidence and attitude.

Turning the heat up as showstoppers were the  Roadies trio Rannvijay, Raghu Ram and Rajiv Laxman. The fashion show featured the Roadies Vdot Collection in style encompassing the perfect blend of pride, courage and indomitable spirit of what it takes to become a true Roadie - a firm belief in oneself.

The range provides a complete style solution to the youth of today that reflects the unabashed attitude, individuality and self-expression.
Roadies VDot collection focuses on the biker centric lifestyle which is associated with Roadies.

The collection features infusion of elements that co-exist to create a sense of functionality, yet are unique in design. Details like coated biker jackets, denim-leather mix and metal embellishments give the collection a grunge-biker feel.

Hey lovelies!

Hope you all are doing well and enjoyed the weekend! I am back with the Final update of my #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge with Gillette Venus.

I have now been using the Gillette Venus Razor since more than 4 weeks and I must say, it has definitely become one of my preferred methods of Hair Removal.


In the last 4 weeks, I haven't experienced any side effects from shaving with Gillette Venus and my skin has remained soft and smooth post shave.

Here are few benefits that I have experienced while shaving with Gillette Venus Razor :

• Portable : With a travel-friendly packaging, you can keep Gillette Venus in your bag and carry it with you anywhere and everywhere. Infact it has been my savior as I often struggled to take out time for my parlour visits, but with Gillette Venus, I know I need not hurry to visit a parlour before any important occasion or vacation. 

• Skin Friendly : I am so glad about the fact that it didn't harm my skin at all and I didn't experience any cuts or nicks ( Thanks to its strip indicator and handle with a strong grip that ensures a smooth shave). Also, I made sure I used the Gillette Shave Gel every time as I don't prefer Dry shaving which needs more caution and care.

• Time Saving : Undoubtedly it has helped me save a lot of time as I don't need to rush to a parlour every time for hair removal and takes lesser time than any other Hair removal methods.

• Value For Money : Gillette Venus razor features 3 blades that ensure a close and smooth shave in just 1 stroke and offers full value for money. I think even one razor would last me at least few more months and still works as good as a new razor.

Hey lovely readers!
I am back after a short break as I had been out for a vacation to Goa last week, updates of which I had shared on my social media channels.

A few days back, I was invited over by the Grohe India team to visit their Grohe spa store in Okhla, Delhi. Our house, back in my hometown, is being renovated - so I was excited to see what all they have in store which I could also consider for the new house.

GROHE is known for their unique and trendy offerings which help make your home smarter and classier in look and appeal.
Be it lifestyle accessories, kitchen, shower or bathroom, they have a premium product range which is high in Quality, Design and Technology.

In this post, I will covering their major offerings which I am sure will make your home a better space to live in and give you an amazing lifestyle experience :

• GROHE Red®: The answer to your desire for instant hot water

Here's the post covering my second day spent in Dubai during which I covered the major attractions of the city and also went for a Cruise later in the evening.

Dubai Creek

Dubai creek is a saltwater creek that separates Bur Dubai and Deira. There are beautiful, high-rise buildings on the side of the creek which make for a delightful view while on a dinner Cruise in the evening.




On the way, we stopped by the Jumeirah Mosque for some photography and I also enjoyed an ice cream at the Haagen Dazs outlet just opposite the mosque.


 We also stopped by the Jumeirah open beach which is also close to the famous Burj al Arab hotel, and I must say is a beautiful beach with clean waters and white sands.

Well we also stopped by many other places like Atlantis, The Palm and it was a tiring day altogether.

As it was sunny and we had to travel for more than 4 hours, I decided to dress up casually in a light and breezy outfit featuring a buttoned midi skirt from Forever 21 and polka dots shirt from H&M.
Have a look at the outfit I wore for the day :

Top : H&M Skirt : Forever 21 Shoes : ZARA Bag : Belongs to a friend Watch : Daniel Wellington Shades : RayBan Hat : Accessorize

Stay tuned for the Day 3 and Day 4 updates from my Dubai Diaries which I will publish shortly!

Hey lovelies!

I am back with the third update of my #SubscribeToSmooth challenge with Gillette Venus.
As I mentioned in the last post that so far I have been having a great experience with the Gillette Venus razor and also tried to bust some Myths associated with shaving.

In today's post I will cover a few more Myths related to shaving and how my skin feels post shaving for 3 weeks.



So, a major question which is also a Myth has been asked to me by many readers and it is that Shaving our Skin causes Discoloration.

Well, after having shaved my skin thrice, I have not felt any discoloration or uneven skin tone. The skin not only remains soft and smooth, but also feels more comfortable with shaving as compared to Waxing which usually causes rashes and redness.

Therefore, you should not worry about the myth that Shaving your skin regularly might darken it.

When it comes to my third experience with the Gillete Venus razor, I shaved my skin before my Goa vacation last week and it was a smooth experience again. It effectively removed the hair without causing any pain or irritation.
Its curve hugging blades make sure that it shaves closely and really smoothly without missing any hair.


I must say though that Gillette Venus has made my life relatively easy, as I don't have to wait for a parlour visit to get rid of the unwanted hair. It's quick, easy and totally safe for the skin.

Stay tuned for my final week update of the #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge!

Hey lovelies!

Hey lovely people!

I am back with the first Outfit post of October. I know I have been very slow with the Outfit posts, and I still have to share few posts from my Dubai Diaries, but I plan to schedule them in the coming week so that I can start sharing the new outfits I have styled recently as well.

Coming to today's outfit post, it features one of the style that I have liked seeing on celebrities but didn't dare to wear it yet. But as one of my readers requested over mail for some style tips on Skirt Suit, I decided to do this shoot in a hurry.

I am wearing a beautiful Rose Girl Co-ordinates set from StalkBuyLove, featuring a sleeveless single-button jacket and a short pencil skirt. I styled it up with a white Crop top from Forever 21 and added a dash of color with my Steve Madden T-strap heels.

For a formal touch, I styled along a white satchel bag from StalkBuyLove which is trendy yet quite spacious for everyday use. I accessorized the look with a sleek watch and an Eiffel Tower pendant - both from Forever 21.

Have a look at the pictures :

Hey lovelies!

It's rightly said that Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend, and I have never met a woman who has disagreed. When it comes to buying Diamonds, not only one thinks about them as a long-term investment but also pay a lot of attention on the Quality and Design.

Especially, with so many Online Shopping websites now selling Diamond jewelry, it becomes really important to know that you are buying nothing but the best.

Therefore, I am introducing this unique and aspirational range of Diamond Jewelry and accessories, launched by BlingTales.com, a unique e-commerce concept, which offers jewelry products which you will "Aspire to Own and Gift" thereby creating your own diamond stories.



While many other similar E-commerce websites are offering an extensive range of products to choose from, which often makes online shopping for jewellery really tiresome and confusing process.

BlingTales.com is unique in a way that they offer only a selective and premium range of products with real "as-is" product videos and images on their "Buy" page so you get what you see.

Their exclusive range of Diamond Apple jewelry is inspired from nature, designed and crafted in Singapore and is made with 18K Gold and Natural Diamonds (GIA standard grading system) sourced from conflict-free "Best in Class" global suppliers.

One of my favorites from their collection is this Diamond Apple pendant which is available in 3 different colors : White Gold, Rose Gold and Yellow Gold.
The pendant is further available in 4 sizes - Mini, Small, Medium and Large.

 Every pendant in this range comes with an 18K gold chain of same color as that of pendant.
BlingTales.com also has on offer products like : You & Me pendant, Classic Stud and Lure earrings.
You can pick the Lure Earrings to match with your Diamond Apple pendant and form a stunning set.
