I am back with an OOTD after a long time. Monsoons have officially begin in Mumbai..though it was on/off before and then there were no rains for a month. That was the time I was wearing this summery floral dress.
Though the rains are unstoppable right now, but again we would see some days of normal Mumbai summer soon 😀
I love the green base and the floral paisley motifs in red,pink and purple on this dress. Also, its more like a casual shirt dress. Its so comfortable and looks pretty too. And has an interesting back.
I paired it with this long gold and silver knot chain necklace, a small blue and silver bracelet, silver midi rings, an orange chrysanthemum flower brooch as a hair accessory. And completed the look with my purple wedges.
Its also very beachy/Hawaiian kinda look I feel :p I think I badly need a holiday.

Recently Rado launched a new all white (stunning) collection. I have a weakness for white watches (already have 3 whites :p). And, I love Rado ! So, the white Rado collection, you can imagine, how much I drooled over.
Lisa Ray talking about the brand
Rado had a small blogger meet up with just 12 of us lucky bloggers and their brand manager Simran Chandoke, Marketing Manager Piyush Kumar and their brand ambassador Lisa Ray, at the private area of Ming Yang, Taj Lands End. We were the privileged ones to see the collection up close and personal, try it on and play with it. The theme was black or white.
Also, we came to know quite a few interesting facts about Rado and this collection in particular. Rado was amongst the first ones to make ceramic watches.
Me and Hina chatting away
They have a tactile watch in this collection called the ‘Rado Esenza Ceramic Touch’.The vertical oval-shaped watch – crafted in black or white ceramic – is crown-free. Time is changed by pressing and sliding your fingers along the case to set the hours and minutes. The incredibly tactile watch offers something not seen on any other ladies model currently sold. They are going to patent the tactile feature in ceramic.
My First Rado ! (though a bad angle :/)
The one which I am wearing is the slimmest watch in that collection, as equal to 3 credit cards. And is made of mother of pearl. Super elegant.
Simran Chandoke, Brand Manager, Rado India
All the pieces in this collection were stunning. Simran and Piyush informed a lot about the brand in general and this collection in particular. And, Simran also explained the facts and features of each and every watch in detail.
We played a small game, where we got one word and we had to relate it to one watch from this collection and why we feel that word best describes the particular watch we selected.
Showing off our RadoMe and Jyo with Lisa Ray
It was a fun evening where we had dinner and conversations about blogging in general, Rado, Lisa Ray, social media, etc. And it was amazing interacting with Lisa Ray too.
Us !
Overall, quiet a nice meet and a different one at it. It was quiet an experience and I definitely would love such kind of more meets 😀

I have shopped from Watchkart.com before and would always love to shop from them again. I also feel its better, coz I end up saving quite a good amount using various coupons and discount offers, on the same watches that I get at the full price in malls from the brands’ outlets.
Have you shopped from Watckart.com before ? Are you a watch freak ?
To start with, I love the soft, refreshing smell. Its kinda like baby powder. And it stays for a long time..though not 24/48 hours.
Its very handy and compact to carry around in your bag too. It has 0% alcohol and the oils in the ingredients give it a very hydrating feel. Skin feels smoother and softer. It was very gentle on the skin and did not irritate the skin. I never use deodorants directly on underarms, but this one is meant to whiten your underarms and I first tried it on my hand and found it very gentle and hydrating and so went on with using it for the underarms. It also claims to be antiperspirant and works to a certain level.
Even when used on clothes, it does not stain them white. And the fragrance stays for a long time.
With continued usage, you seem some slight difference in your underarms. Coz licorice extracts are meant to work on dark pigmentation and lighten them bit.But then, you need to use it continuously and do not expect any magical results !
Overall, I would say, its a nice deodorant..and definitely worth a try.
Have you used the new Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deodorant ?
My Travel Look and Revlon Travel Makeup Essentials
Ok, so I am not travelling anywhere right now :p But, I would love to share my travel look with you guys.
Revlon India have the topic of Travel going on in their Choices by Revlon campaign. Take THIS quiz and see what makeup look do you get, according to your travel choices, and how to achieve it.
If I am given a choice, I would love going to Paris, not that I do not like beaches, (infact, anytime up for Goa :D) but Paris would be the first preference anyday !
I feel Paris deserves a glamorous look. And for me, gold and fuchsia pink combo, is totally glam ! I love pairing gold/bronze/copper eyeshadows and fuchsia pink lipsticks. Here, I am wearing Revlon ColorStay Makeup in Fresh Beige as my base, Revlon ColorStay ShadowLink in Copper all over and lined my eyes and waterline with the Revlon Long Wear eyeliner, curled lashes and used the Revlon PhotoReady 3D Mascara. Finished it off with the new Revlon Lacquer Balm in Vivacious. And we are done ! My 2 minute quick go-to makeup when I am travelling and rushing.
My Travel Makeup Kit Essentials:
Revlon ColorStay Makeup
Revlon ColorStay Pressed Powder with Softflex
Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks Eyeshadows- mix & match
Men mostly ignore their skin and never pay attention to even the basic things, which can in turn matter a lot, in the long run, to keep their skin younger and nicer looking.
Some things men need to follow:
Use a mild facewash: Determine your skin type and use a gentle cleanser/face wash and ditch those soap bars. You can try the new Garnier Men Oil Clear Facewash if you have oily skin and the Garnier Men Acnofight Facewash if you have acne. And if you have normal to dry skin, you can try Garnier Men Powerlight Facewash
Always use a good moisturiser: Moisturising the skin is also equally important, for all skin types. You can try Garnier Men Powerlight Oil Control & Fairness Moisturiser. If you have oily skin, the oil control would help you keep a check on that too throughout the day.
Use a good high SPF sunscreen everyday: Do not skip a sunscreen. Since most of you must be out in the sun, throughout the day, you should definitely use a sunscreen 365 days.
Use a mild exfoliator (not an harsh scrub) with AHA and/or BHA to get rid of the dead skin cells, and help regenerate the new skin cells.
Use a product containing benzoyl peroxide overnight, if you have acne.
Use a good, rich night cream if you have dry skin.
Now some don’ts:
Do not use a soap bar: Bar soaps are drying and irritating which irritates and inflames skin, plus the ingredients that put bar cleansers into their bar form can clog pores. Routinely using bar soap on your face can also impede shaving, potentially leading to razor bumps and a more frequent need to replace your razor blade.
Do not go for products with too many fragrance ingredients : That will only irritate the skin more.
Do not buy cheap razors: Invest in some good ones. Your skin will thank you, in the long run.
I guess some basic do’s and don’ts is only what men need to follow for good skin. And they are good to go !
Would you like to add some skin care tips for men ?
Shop for Bridal Lingerie,Bikini,etc from PrivyPleasures.com
Yes, you read it right. Since, I am getting married in 5 months, bridal lingerie shopping was also obviously on my list. And I would not like to shop for that with my mom, of course :p That would be so embarrassing.
I can go with my girlfriends. My friend who got married last year, spent a bomb at La Senza. I have shopped for some things before from La Senza and from another good site for shopping lingerie.
This time, I shopped from another site,I got the opportunity to review and at the right time, coz I was anyways looking for some bridal lingerie. Also, if you have a beach holiday planned for your honeymoon, a good bikini is also something, you need in your collection.
About: PrivyPleasures, Is a place where you can find products for all your fantasy needs. It’s the Indian online Shop where you can find everything from rare to find exotic lingerie, costumes, stocking to any accessories you may need.
We assure you of complete privacy and anonymity for all of your purchases. All your purchases would be sent to you in discreet packages, with a non-descriptive return address, avoiding embarrassment.

They have some pretty se*y bikinis and lingerie sets, night gowns, lacy see throughs, g strings and also role play costumes. You will find the raunchiest stuff here. And if you not into those, you can still find something hot for yourself. They have a separate bridal lingerie section too.
I got this turquoise blue sheer mesh chemise with open-back, lace hem, ruched satin overlay, and rhinestone accents. I can’t describe how se*y it looks and feels ! I just love it <3
I also liked this lace pajama set and did buy it along with the turquoise blue chemise..but the pyjamas were slightly tight and I had to return them..so got the bikini later..
The shopping experience was easy. I got the stuff delivered in a day through FedEx. And they have free shipping above Rs.500/- below which they have Rs.50/- shipping cost. Though not happy with the fact that they charge Rs.100/- extra for COD. For online payment, no additional charges.
I am happy with the stuff..and most of the stuff is free size, so not much of an issue with that. I definitely recommend checking out the site whether you are searching for good lingerie or bikinis which are on an affordable side. Or better still, why not let your husband or would-be surf the site and decide 😉
Where do you shop for lingerie from ? Your favorite store ? Online or in stores ?
P.S: I was offered a voucher but that has not affected my opinion.
