Some of my picks..

1. Garden Rose Kitten Heels

These gold heels are made of patented leather and embellished with zari & beadwork By Designer Fuchsia. They look super comfortable as the heels are not too high and are absolutely perfect for both day time and night time. Since these are mules, they look pretty from the front and are airy and comfortable from the back.

2. Kolhapuri Wedges

These gold wedges are made of faux leather and embellished with tassel work by designer The Shoe Tales. Every girl needs a pair of Kolhapuri wedges in her collection. You can literally pair kolhapuris with all your ethnic outfits from simple to heavy, and the wedges give added height and comfort.

3. Gold Pearl Earrings

These gold earrings are made of metal alloy and embellished with pearl work by Designer Label Amara. Choose a statement piece from our collection of dangler earrings which is easy enough to build an outfit around. How stunning is this pair! The perfect size, so that it doesn’t hide behind your hair and is still visible. You can pair it with both Indian and western wear. I love the pearl and gold combination!

4. Green Peacock Dangling Earrings

These green sia dangler earrings are made of copper alloy and embellished with kundan work & stone work & pearl Work By Designer Paisley Pop. The work and embellishment on this pair is beautiful. It would match well with most of your Indian outfits.

Overall there are many such stunning pieces, and they even have a wide range of potli bags, clutches, etc. I definitely recommend checking out the footwear, bags and accessories, even if you are someone who gets their own designs stitched.

OOTD: Red & White Flared Midi Dress

OOTD: Red & White Flared Midi Dress

Hi guys,

Another OOTD for you. I love midi dresses, especially these flared kinds. They look very flattering on all body types.

White and Red is one of my favourite combination, this dress had red abstract print on white base. It’s from Dainty Jewells. They have a beautiful collection of dresses, available in a large variety of sizes. Also a lot of bridesmaid dresses.

I paired it with my gold watch, tan sling and nude strappy heels. Since the dress was bright enough, I kept the accessories neutral as otherwise the colors would clash and be too loud.

Dress: Dainty Jewells
Heels: Zara
Bag, Watch: Michael Kors
Earrings: House of Tuhina

On my Lips: Maybelline Lip Gradation Red2
On my nails: Nykaa Matte Nail Paint in Black Cherry Pie

OOTD: White & Blue Embellished Gown

OOTD: White & Blue Embellished Gown

Hi guys,

I know I haven’t done an OOTD here since a long time, that’s coz of Instagram! Yes, I usually post my OOTD’s and outfit pics with details there, so you don’t see many OOTD’s here on the blog. If you want to see my regular OOTD’s, follow me on Instagram @bhumika_t

I did a special shoot for 3 outfits recently and hence I made sure I post it on the blog and not just Instagram.

I had this dress since quite some time now, but due to monsoons or some or the other event, I couldn’t get to shoot in this. Also since the material is raw silk, it gets crinkled super easily. This shoot was right after I had got this from ironing and still it has crinkled :/

Failed attempt at twirling

But nonetheless, it is also the material which is very comfortable and looks really nice! Love the silhouette.

I love the sleeves and the gold embellishment work on the sleeves. This dress is from a Kolkata based brand Mada Sasa. They make customized fusion wear like drapes, gowns, kurtis, tunics, etc. Also they make it in your customized sizing as per the measurements given. Check out more on www.madasasa.com or their facebook page HERE

I paired it with my nude Zara strappy heels, a cocktail ring, fusion bracelet and a gold clutch.

Dress: Mada Sasa
Heels: Zara
Ring: Eesha Zaveri
Bracelet: House of Tuhina
Earrings: Dang
Clutch: Gift from Kerastase

Lipstick: Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stain in Mauve Dusk over Maybelline Lip Gradation Red2
Nails: Nykaa Matte Nail Polish in Black Cherry Pie

Types of Bajubands/Armlets

Types of Bajubands/Armlets

Hi guys,

I am talking about one more piece of jewellery today i.e. bajubands or armlets. There are number of different varieties of armlets available.

You can choose to go with a heavier one or a lighter one, depending on your outfit or occasion. You get them in pearl, kundan, simple basic ones, heavy ones with latkans,etc.

I recently came across this jewellery website gold24.in and loved their bajubands collection (you can see them here https://gold24.in/products/costume-bajuband). Some of my picks:

1. This gorgeous armlet/bajuband designed exclusively by Traditsiya is everything you need to stand out in an upcoming wedding. Pair it up with a saree, anarkali or a lehenga, it will help complete the Indian look by making your arms look graceful.

2. This one is made with alloy and has 22K gold plating. The kundan, emerald and ruby are set very well together in a tear drop pattern. I like the fact that it is broad and thick for heavier arms, something for people like me. This one is not meant for skinny arms.

3. This one is heavier with ghungroo and latkans. If you are a bride to be, this is perfect for you. A blend of pearl, kundan, emerald, ruby, diamond and golden ghungroos. Again 22K gold plated.

4. A basic, simple one that would work with almost all Indian outfits and even some Indo-western fusion wear. The best thing about these adjustable ones are that one size fits all and you can also use these as a choker. Chokers are IN these days, so this works in multiple ways 😀

You can even find simple pearl string ones to just a plain kundan lining one, which can work with any outfit, and not require color coordination.

I absolutely love baju bands, they make your arms look very elegant and graceful. And all girls should have atleast 1-2 bajubands/armlets in their stash.

What do you think of baju bands? Do you like them?

May ‘Summer Romance’ Edition Sugarbox Unboxing

May ‘Summer Romance’ Edition Sugarbox Unboxing

Hi guys,

There have been a number of subscription boxes in India in the past 2-3 years. One such amazing subscription box called ‘Sugar Box’ launched last year.

It’s a mix of beauty, fashion, lifestyle & gourmet items and all full sized, no samples or deluxe samples.

Sugarbox is a curated box full of exclusive goodies which are hand picked by our team of in-house stylists and epicureans just for you. By subscribing to Sugarbox, you will receive the latest international offerings in fashion, beauty, lifestyle and gourmet products at your doorstep, every month. Not to mention the first bragging rights that come with it!

It is priced at Rs.1499/- for 1 month (when unrevealed), Rs.4197/- for 3 months and so on, a little more discount for more no. of months. If you book the annual subscription plan, the box comes to Rs.1199/- per month which is pretty good.

For the month of May, they have the ‘Summer Romance’ Edition theme, and have all summery, beachy stuff.

Let’s see what all I got in my box..

  • A cute coral off shoulder crop top
  • A beige bucket bag with metallic gold chain detailing
  • A stiff brown summer hat
  • Tropical Cocktail flavour Tang
  • Gulnare Pumpskin Face Wash 60ml
  • Floral Gold Headband
  • Double layered Charm bracelet

I am totally digging off shoulder crop tops these days, and I was so glad when I saw this! Plus the coral colour is so bright and summery, can’t wait to wear it. The bag is pretty amazing too, fabulous quality, quite soft in texture. The gold accents go pretty well with the beige colour. Bucket bags are also IN these days, and this makes a perfect beach bag too. It’s quite spacious and huge, reminds me of my orange bucket bag from StalkBuyLove.

I have never tried the Tropical Cocktail flavour in Tang, so I am looking forward to trying this one. A hat is perfect for summers too, whether on beach or otherwise, a good stylish hat, can take your outfit a notch higher. I am not much into diamante on my accessories, but the stars in the double layered bracelet look quite cute.

The floral headband has to be my favourite, wear it like a proper headband or a little lower like Alia Bhatt in Ladki Beautiful Kar Gayi Chull song, with loose beachy waves for that boho vibe.

I am all about organic skincare and I haven’t tried a Pumpkin face wash yet and nothing from Gulnare skincare, so looking forward to trying this one too.

Book you box HERE, I absolutely recommend them! Since this box, theme and contents are revealed, the price is Rs.1899/-. Totally worth the price, you get products worth much more than what you pay for! I also have a special 20% off coupon code for you all, use ‘bhumika20’ at checkout on everything from individual items to previous boxes, limited edition ones and this Summer Romance Box. Coupon code is not valid on subscription plans though, as they are already discounted 🙂

After discount, this month’s box comes to Rs.1519/- Go for it, I say! If I have to see ‘Value For Money’, this is the best subscription box in India currently! Fabulous job done by Niharika Jhunjunwala, the founder.

Feb 2016 Zotiqq Jewellery Subscription Box Unboxing, Review

Feb 2016 Zotiqq Jewellery Subscription Box Unboxing, Review

Hi guys, If you have read my January box review, you already know about Zotiqq. If not, go HERE.

MRP: Rs.1500/- per month (Buy HERE)

The Zotiqq jewellery subscription box is priced at Rs.1500/- per month but if you go for 3 months, 6 months or 12 months subscription, you get an amazing deal!

 

Feb box theme was ‘Aqua’ or ‘Sea Animals’, I think it is dedicated to ‘Pisces’. The box as usual comes in a deep navy blue and beige super sturdy box. You can store all your jewellery in it later too. Each item comes individually packed in plastic wrapping.

 

What I got:

  • A black star fish textured statement necklace
  • A bronze textured star fish ring
  • Pearl double sided strand earrings
  • A sea horse pendant long chain
  • Blue rope bracelet with an orange algae shaped hanging charm

The sea horse pendant long chain is perfect for your t shirts and sweaters. I absolutely loved the earrings, they would work with so many dresses and are super light yet chic at the same time.

The starfish ring makes quite a statement covering the entire finger beautifully, it looks like the ring is hugging your finger 😀

The mono colored black statement necklace will make a mark on a mono colored outfit i.e. all white or all green/blue. And the bracelet would work with your casual wear.

These are quite unique and interesting pieces and loved how they are combined together for the Aqua theme. I see myself wearing the ring and earrings a lot.

Definitely worth checking out the Feb Zotiqq box. I can’t wait for the March box now, looking forward to the new theme.

My Envy Box Designer Jewelery Box Unboxing

Hi guys,

So My Envy Box in association with NIMAI have launched this designer jewellery subscription box and I am amongst the 4 lucky bloggers for whom My Envy Box curated this special box this month.

MRP: Rs.2450/- per month- Buy HERE (Less for 3, 6 and 12 months susbcriptions)

About the Designer Jewelery Box: Get a surprise box of 2-3 curated items of designer jewelry typically worth well over twice the cost of the box!

  • Jewelry curated by our partners at NIMAI
  • 1% of revenue from Jewelry Box donated to Made By Survivors.

Some of the brands they would have are Zariin, Eesha Zaveri, Dang, etc and all the pieces of jewellery are pretty expensive, worth much more than the price of the box. Also every person would get a different box with different pieces.

The value of the 2-3 designer jewellery pieces every month would be in the total range of Rs.7000-12000/- and the price of the box is Rs.2450/- Also there is 10% off for this month of Feb using ‘JEWEL10′

To start with the box, it’s a beautiful navy blue colored velvet box with a mirror inside, the entire interior part is also velvet and the box itself is amazing. Perfect to store all your jewellery in the future too and makes a nice trousseau box for the brides-to-be.

Let me show you what I got in my box:

Pair of black and gold earrings from Zariin, my favourite gold and mint pair of earrings from Dang and a beautiful blue stone cocktail ring from Eesha Zaveri

I love each and every piece in the box, all the designs are totally my style. I don’t like chunky diamante pieces and I love stones and gems, also delicate and minute work is what I completely love. Both the set of earrings are something that would work with many different outfits from Indian to western, loved both of them!

I definitely suggest checking the My Envy Box designer jewelery box and also with the 10% off this month, it would be around Rs.2200/- and you will get 3 designer jewellery pieces, worth a try! Highly recommended.

Zotiqq January Jewellery Subscription Box Unboxing, Review

Zotiqq January Jewellery Subscription Box Unboxing, Review

Hi guys,

I have unboxed and reviewed a lot of subscription boxes till now on the blog from makeup, beauty to food. This is the first time I am reviewing a jewellery subscription box.

Zotiqq is an online fashion & lifestyle portal where they have monthly jewellery subscription boxes and one can also buy the pieces they like individually. It is the brainchild of a fellow beauty blogger and friend Ritu Rajput, most of you must be knowing her, her blog is called ‘The Indian Beauty’

MRP: Rs.1500/- per month (Buy HERE)

The Zotiqq jewellery subscription box is priced at Rs.1500/- per month but if you have 3 months, 6 months or 12 months subscription, you get an amazing deal!

Coming to the January subscription box, it was the ‘New Year’ theme and hence had sparkly baubles. Let’s see what they are..

It comes in this royal blue and beige packaging, the box in itself is quite sturdy and nice and good to stock your jewellery or makeup. It comes nicely bubble wrapped and no jewellery was damaged. Each item is individually stored inside the box in a plastic cover, which is nice coz many a times the jewellery gets entangled within each other.

I got 5 items in this month’s box.

First two are a diamante statement neckpiece and matching set of statement earrings which can be worn together or individually.

Red tube mesh filled with rhinestones, statement neckpiece

My favourite from the lot, a statement cocktail ring.

And a pretty hand harness which will work with so many different outfits.

I like the theme based box and getting 4-5 pieces together at a price of Rs.1500/- coz individually these jewellery pieces cost a lot more. Definitely worth your money and I do recommend trying this jewellery subscription box.

I am not sure if the January box would be still available, but you can book the Feb subscription box right now 🙂

Have you tried any Jewellery Subscription Boxes before? What did you like the most?

Birthday OOTD: Lace LBD

Birthday OOTD: Lace LBD

Hi guys,

So my birthday was on 22nd and I was in Jaipur that time, I just wanted to share my birthday outfit with you all.

I wore this lace little black dress from StalkBuyLove and paired it with everything gold. Also gold and black was appropriate for the Christmas and Party Season. I am so obsessed with this dress, I would have worn it for New Year Party for sure, sadly no plans :/

I paired it with gold tassel earrings, rose gold watch and a glitter clutch. Also stacked some gold midi rings and my trusted black and gold ankle strap sandals.

We clicked this at Nahargarh Haveli in Jaipur where we were staying for 3 days, it is an old haveli refurbished into an hotel. There are similar other hotels in Jaipur like Nani Ki Haveli, Alsisar, Virasat, etc.

Our first two days were at Zone By The Park and I would be doing a separate post about it, coz the experience was mind blowing.

Dress: StalkBuyLove
Earrings: The Trunk Label
Clutch: Gifted by Maybelline
Shoes: Shown HEREHEREHERE and HERE

On my Lips: Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Pout in Pink Fantasy

I am so glad hubby did not blur the pictures this time, unlike always 😀 I hope you liked the outfit, do let me know in the comments below 🙂
