Check Mate Shirt Dress

Checks is a game everyone can play.

I combined two variations of the print to create a classy elegant look and a Boho inspired look.

Checks, just like stripes,
will never go out of style

I love tartan just as much as I love stripes and other classic prints. With that difference that checks bring that nineties grunge vibe giving your outfit a more edgy appearance.

This traditional pattern comes in various colors and sizes and with endless styling opportunities, it’s a very wearable print if it fits your personal style.
Match it with a casual jeans or highlight the edginess by combining Checks  with black leather or implement more boho vibes like I did!

Added Omp to the elegant girly look by carrying a Red Satchel handbag and Chiara Ferragamo inspired footwear.

For the boho look carried kutch work sling bag  and my favourite kholapuris, both of which i got from Jaipur.

Heres a full glimpses of the look!

Reviewed: Fuschia Sandal Saffron Bath Salt

The drill of everyday living can really take a toll on our minds and bodies.Work, events, social media…stress and over stimulation are all around us. But what if washing your worries away before bedtime was as simple as taking a bath? Well, guess what? It is.

Next time you’re feeling tense in the evening, just run warm water, grab the Fuschia Sandal Saffron Bath Salt (click here to buy)and spike your bath with healing salts and aromatherapy sandalwood essential oil.

Bath salts are known for their skin exfoliation properties leaving the skin fresh, luminous, soft and smooth. They help in the removal of dead skin cells & toxins, while allowing your skin to absorb better and more nutrients from skin care products. 

Packaging:

It’s a square shaped plastic jar with a metallic twist cap. It’s small in size and hence can be easily carried even while travelling.          

Quantity: 50 gms

Price: Rs 225

Ingredients :

Sea Salt with dead sea minerals

Epsom salt

Himalayan salt

Sandalwood essential oil

Saffron threads

Olive oil.

Here are 3 ways to use bath salts, when you don’t have a bathtub, to make yourself a tad more beautiful than before. Let’s pick up some Bath salt and soothe our skin after all those hectic schedule we go through.

As Facial or Body Scrub:

Take ½ teaspoon Bath salt, cleansing cream, a bath towel or a face towel
Mix the above two ingredients and apply on your face. Scrub while cleansing. Then use a face towel to dry your face. Preferably use a soft towel. The skin gets soft and is very well exfoliated.

Advice: Since my skin doesn’t have any acne or breakouts it did not burn or irritate. For those who have acne or breakouts I would suggest to use on small patch of mixture on skin and see the result. Since the mixture contains salt it might burn or cause irritation to the skin.

Feet Soak:

 For feet use approximate 20-30gms of salt in warm water .This not only soothes aches, but also removes any unpleasant feet odour. You can also soften rough skin with this very effective technique. Rinse and dry with a bath towel once done.

For Bath:

For bath use 50-80gms bath salt in warm water. The warm water and essential oils are so soothing to body aches and inhaling the oil with warm air can help to reduce headaches , migraines and open your sinuses. Well it did workout for me when I used it once when I had migraine.

Pros:

1. It helps relax sore muscles, eliminate body aches and pains in joints and muscles. Relieves Stress.
2. Rejuvenates Skin by removing Dead Skin Cells. Leaves skin revived, comfortable & healthy looking.
3. A detoxifying delicately scented bath salt. Provides warm, intense, rich aroma. Turns an ordinary bath into a relaxing and fragrant retreat.
4. Contains mineral-rich sea salt to reduce fluid retention & promote circulation, Blended with Epsom salt that detoxifies by drawing impurities from skin.
5. Free of parabens, phthalates.

Cons:

The quantity of the product is less for the price quoted.

My Take on the Product:

 Fuschia Natural Handmade Bath Salts have been developed to mimic the properties of natural mineral baths or hot springs. The best way to refresh yourself after a long tiring day is to soak yourself in them. So simply allow the salts to swirl around gently as we take a deep breath, lie back and unwind in our own personal bath. Simply adding the bath salt to your bath water has several benefits.Using as a facial scrub also exfoliates the skin very well. It helped to remove the dead skin and brighten the face.

The moment you open the lid and use some salt the whole of the bathroom is filled by the pleasant soothing aroma of sandalwood , saffron and sea salt. The blended aroma of the product itself is sooooo soothing that you are half relaxed by inhaling the smell of the product. Since the products have sandalwood oil which creates a calming and harmonizing effect on our mind , reducing tension and confusion. Saffron lightens and tones our skin.

I used the product for 3 different purpose and for all the uses it showed its result.I was far more relaxed and happy using the BATH SALT in varied ways.

Lemme know did you guys like the post or not !!

Review:Fuschia Green Tea face and body Scrub by Vkare

 Hey you all lovely ladies !!

How you all doing ? 

So last week I received products from Vkare Bio Sciences.They has send me three products from there Fuschia Skin Care collection consisting of Green Tea Face and Body Clarifying Scrub , Sandalwood saffron Bath Salt and Cherry Red Lip Balm.

Today post is all about reviewing the "GREEN TEA FACE AND BODY CLARIFYING SCRUB."

We all know how good green tea is for our health.  It tastes a bit bitter, but once you get the hang of it, you start liking it. Same is the case with me, now I am hooked to green tea. Recently, I was looking for a good facial scrub for myself and came across Fuschia Green Tea and Body Clarifying Scrub by VKARE.(click here to buy)

Well we all have tried and we just can’t seem to find ANYTHING we don’t love about green tea!

One word describes the main skin care advantage of Green Tea: anti-aging, that’s a good one. Green tea is an antioxidant powerhouse, so it protects against free radical damage (that’s the anti-aging bit). 

The compounds in green tea can actually reactivate skin cells that are dying due to poor lifestyle habits, exposure to sunlight and pollution.

Green Tea also increases the effectiveness of sunscreen and reduces inflammation caused by sun damage. And, just in case you need one more: Green Tea is good for treating acne because it’s an excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent. See what we mean? What’s not to love? Our all-natural, Green Tea facial scrub is absolutely jam packed with Green Tea and Green Tea extract.

This all-around awesome facial and body scrub is great for all skin types.

Packaging:

Firstly let's talk about the packaging, it is a square shaped plastic jar with a metallic twist cap. It’s small in size and hence can be easily carried even while travelling.

Quantity: 100 gms

Price: Rs 400 (currently its on discount)

Ingredients:

Aloe Vera

Green Tea

olive oil

Wheatgerm oil

Method To Apply:

Wash your face properly before applying the scrub.

Take sufficient amount of the scrub (equivalent to half tablespoon) and apply it all over your face and neck. Gently rub in upward circular motion for 5 minutes. If you feel the scrub is drying take few drops of water and regain the creamy texture. Rinse off with water and pat your face dry.

Advice : Try applying the scrub at night before going to bed as this gives time for the skin to repair and add glow to our face. I highly recommend night routines for skin care as our skin is not exposed to sun and dirt as a result the cells of our skin act more quickly to do wonders.

My Take on the Product:

Firstly the Green Tea Scrub from Vkare is Free of SLS, parabens, phthalates, artificial tints & synthetic perfumes .Its 100% naturally made and what all do we need when its all chemical free for our skin!!!

The scrub is creamy in nature and  even recommended for oily skinned beauties. I personally feel it would be suitable for all type. It has a clay texture as the scrub is thick in density, as result it can be rubbed continuously. The cream has light ochre colour and tiny sugar like granules which gives a great exfoliation. On its very first application and scrubbing it left my skin smooth and I felt fresh & rejuvenated.

I could see my skin glow.This scrub not only tones and soothes your skin but also delays fine signs of ageing. It brushes off dead skin cells, white heads, oil, dirt. But it doesn't brush away the blackheads.

The fragrance of the scrub is very peachy, gentle,refreshing and smell simply awesome!!

You get cleansing, gentle exfoliation and super moisturization in one easy step.

With just this one product, in two minutes, you get incredibly, awesomely soft smooth skin. You just may become seriously dependent on this stuff. It has created addicts. We’re just warning you.

Use twice daily to cleanse, gently exfoliate and thoroughly moisturize.This scrub, like all Simple Sugars scrubs, leaves your skin feeling super soft and smooth so you don't need additional moisturizer. We call it going NO-LO. You'll call it amazing. 

Untill the next post on Bath salt ,
Take care!

Cold Shoulder Love with KOOVSxYOU

Trends have a habit of popping up just when you’ve completely forgotten they ever existed (like -hello, flare jeans!). This season, we’re biting the bullet & baring it all—at least when it comes to our shoulders. This blast from the (more recent) past was all the rage in the ‘90s—but upon its return’, it’s a little less grunge, a little more feminine & the perfect accompaniment to denims. Heres how to wear off-the-shoulder tops—from beginner to advanced.

The cold-shoulder trend has graced us with its presence & it just so happens to be the perfect way to ease yourself into showing a little skin. 

 

 BEGINNER: COLD-SHOULDER TOP:

The cold-shoulder trend has graced us with its presence for spring, and it just so happens to be the perfect way to ease yourself into showing a little skin. The great thing about a cold-shoulder top? You can keep the rest of your arms covered (if you’re not ready to flaunt it all), but the peek-a-boo cutouts reveal just enough to keep them guessing.

Styling Tip: When it comes to flaunting your shoulders, there’s one thing that’s always top of mind- what kind of a bra to wear. Lucky for you, this shoulder-showing trend lends itself well to your classic everyday bra styles

ADVANCED: OFF-THE-SHOULDER:

Subtly sexy, but never too revealing, a full-on off-the-shoulder top will make you sexier!Try this warm-weather staple now & get a head start on your head-turning style .Paired with Black jeans or jeggings, this pro-level look will really test your style chops. YOLO!

StylingTip: There’s no way around it with this style, so splurge on a high-quality, perfect-fitting strapless bra if you’re baring all this.

 

To highlight the cold shoulder top I opted for subttle light makeup.. highlighting the eyes by applying Green eyeliner and nude shade eyeshadow from Mac and Faces. For my hair I opted for my signature style side puff and I was good to go!!!!!

Do you dare to bare (shoulders)? Tell us what you think in the comments!

Hello loves!!

Here’s another post in collaboration with my favourite shopping site Bewakoof.com. It is surely one site where I can shop for all my style and elegance; sport a variety of trends thereby making fashion statements!

Today post is featuring the Simple Black and white T-shirt Dress .

A T-shirt dress is a great go-to outfit when you need to get ready in a hurry. It can be worn at any time of the years depending on how it is styled and can be dressed up or down. 

They never go out of fashion and are a wardrobe staple so you can’t really go wrong! 

One thing I have learnt about dressing over the years is that you always have to be comfortable and confident in what you are wearing. I remember on many occasions I would compromise on my physical comfort to look stylish instead but life is too short to be uncomfortable!

Read on to check out two ways to wear a T-shirt dress.

BACK TO SCHOOL LOOK :

When I first received the parcel from Bewakoof.com and the first thing that struck  me was to style it like a school going kid with cute pigtails, a backpack ,quirky shoes and a DIY crochet chocker. It almost made me feel like a school going kid as I had to get up early for the shoot get dresses up and make those pigtails. Reminiscing my good old school days!!!!

 CORPORATE LOOK:

Since I have never sported a corporate styles, so I decided to style the T-shirt dress from Bewakoof.com with a white long overcoat. The long overcoat provides the corporate look factor that I wanted to showcase with this look.

After all, a perfect Black Dress with perfect layering is a timeless classic that can complete any look ,while the box handbag brings some femininity and class.

To finish off the look, I buckled up into my blocked heel wedges. With the strong statement of my dress, I had to compliment it with a statement shoe.

INDIAN FUSION VIBES

Hey Chicas !

Lately I have been super lazy to post a new look and believe me this weather is to be blamed! But you all are in for a treat, I have been of the routine but back with the post !! This week its all about going traditional easy wearable looks with a palazzo and kurta to work ,shopping at  malls, movies or a casual dinner at a friends place. This Blog on traditional wear was so unplanned. I just went to meet my friend and she was like "LETS DO SHOOT FOR A BLOG , I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY BLOG ON INDIA WEAR!" 

Palazzo pants is the best thing to happen this summer. Super stylish yet super comfy, non clingy and breathable !! Well, shorts do the same thing but you really can’t wear shorts everywhere, and in Nagpur !! I’ll think twice for sure.

Check wardrobe of any girl and you’ll get a whole lot of kurtis stuffed in her wardrobe.Sure, girls love going desi too. So many patterns, prints, design to give a ‘much-distinctive’place in your ethnic collection.And then, there is an advantage that you can style them into many creative ways.

Yes, you got that right- you can wear your favorite kurtis in numerous ways, if only you know how to style them.

See how can you style those kurtis of yours and look matchless each time.

These super wide-legged flowing pants have the taaqat to do wonders to any outfit which undoubtedly includes the ‘kurti’ too.

Kurti with Palazzo Pant makes a fiercy combo. You must have seen the lady gang flaunting fashion with utmost style. So,why not you?Pick a kurta from your wardrobe and buy a palazzo pant in contrasting colour or go artistic with the cutest of prints.

Long kurtis when teamed with palazzo pants can turn many heads around. Kurtis and palazzo pants are a classy combination. Elegance totally personified in this ethnic look of flowy kurta with a flowy palazzo. Simplicity is well personified with this twist to otherwise-cliched salwar suit.

If you can wear palazzo pants with a kurta, why not wear them as a salwar? Next time you decide to wear a salwar, ditch those leggings and opt a palazzo pant instead. This really novel and plush way to way your salwar sure is going make quite a few heads turn around.
To add spice to the look I chose to wear the trending most Boho inspired Silver neckpeice, Statement ring and bangles made of resham thread(must have preserved those bangles for more than 10 years!!)

 So my lovely chicas lemme know did you like the post or not !

 Last but not the least thank you "Khushboo" for lending me your "Charles and Keith " bag and footwear for the rescue!!

Details of Outfit:

Kurti and Plazzo :Westside

Ring: Globus

Neckpeice: Linking Road (Mumbai)

Footwear and Handbag: Charles and Keith

Until the next time,
Njoy the Sunday !!

Xoxo
