Small BornPrettyStore Haul

Hi guys,

I did a small haul from Bornprettystore.com, which is a site that stocks everything from nail art, accessories,makeup brushes, beauty stuff, toys,watches and even clothing. If you love nail art, you will find innumerable options and you will be stuck on the site whole day 😀

Here is what all I got:

A cute,tiny, PINK eyelash curler. I wanted to try this kind of eyelash curler since a long time and also it is quite handy to be carried in your bag.

A polka dots, pink retractable lip brush. Again it is very tiny and goes in my handbag 🙂

A beauty blender dupe (wanted to try it, lets see how it works)

A multi layered, braided bracelet. It has anchor, infinity, etc., very cute.

My favourite is this pearl tasseled hand harness. This is so pretty, I am going to wear this a lot!

And last but not the least, a Pedi Spin. Its a handy tool for at- home pedicures, comes with a polishing and a finishing plate, and 12 extra polishing pads. I know Scholl has Express Smooth Velvet Pedi but this is like 1/6th the price :p

You can get 10% off on bornprettystore.com using my coupon code ‘KKAG10’ 🙂

They have beautiful accessories, inexpensive makeup brushes and a lot of tools for nail art. The best thing is they have Free Shipping worldwide! And your order gets dispatched in a day, though it is usually sent through post, so takes about 3-4 weeks to arrive.

Jewellery Haul from La Elegante’

La Elegante’ is the baby of Mumbai based Shalini who started this facebook store last March and now has avid buyers from all over India and also gets international requests time and again. Check out her page and jewellery HERE.

About La Elegante’ (In Shalini’s words): ‘La Elegante’ is an online store which deals with trendy fashion jewellery and Ethnic Temple Jewellery. La Elegante’ was launched on March 8 2014 on the one day celebrated across the world as Woman’s Day – after all our store is also about “Celebrating Womanhood” .

For a very long time fashion has been my passion and that’s exactly the basis of my store as well. La Elegante’ – the place where Fashion is a Passion!

We have pocket friendly prices (price range being from Rs.30 to Rs.1500) We offer bags and clutches, trendy fashion earrings , neckpieces , bracelets and cuffs , assorted accessories like watches, hairbands, Rings, temple jewellery etc. in this range.

A step taken little over a year and a month back with 20 FB likes on the first evening is now a family of 30000 + patrons. It is their constant support and feedback which continues to motivate La Elegante’ to move forward with more collections and ensures Fashion is available at pocket friendly prices.

Its run by me …my name is Shalini Girish …an avid reader, music buff and my stress busters are my kids and my guitar…helps me unwind.

Life is fashionable and bliss….touche’

I loved the simple pearl pieces and the beautiful temple jewellery she stocks. I love temple jewellery and I feel it looks amazing with a simple South Indian saree. Also the fact that her prices are pretty reasonable compared to other online facebook stores.

I bought these pretty pieces recently from her store recently. They were neatly packed in separate plastic covers with bubble wrap and all together in a bigger plastic box.

This beautiful red and black beaded tribal necklace is my most favourite! How pretty and statementy is it! Can’t wait to pair it with my simple tees and shirts as this is more than enough and a statement in itself.

A white and gold layered pearl statement bracelet, a pair of gold and white square earrings. Isn’t that design quite cute.

And this pearl and diamante ring..

How pretty is this ring!

Saree.com- For all your Ethnic Wear Needs

About Saree.com: Saree.com is a one stop shop for women’s ethnic and lifestyle needs. They aim to offer you most genuine and adorable garments for all the occasions.

When I was searching for ethnic wear for my wedding trousseau a few months back, very few sites online interested me. I liked Triveni Sarees and 1-2 other, but not many options were availble. Recently I stumbled upon Saree.com and I am hooked on to the site!

They stock everything from anarkalis to designer sarees to lehengas and even evening gowns! Evening gowns was something I could not find anywhere and I was searching them desperately for my cocktail. I wish I would have known Saree.com before 🙁

Some of my favourites from the site are:

1. Pink And Dark Cream Net Lehenga Saree With Stone Work

This costs Rs.2995/-! Beat that. Looks so pretty, love the colour combination and the work.

2. Cream Net Gown

Love love the gold and red embroidery and the mesh at the waist and back. Of course the long layered tulle on the lower half too.

3. Pink Net Lehenga Choli With Zari Work

This costs just Rs.2395/-, unbelievable right! Also you can get it stitched the way you want, a shorter choli if you want to show your lehenga or like a longer salwar which is quite IN these days.

4. Yellow,Beige and Pink Bemberg Saree With Embroidery Work

Ok, I love yellow in ethnic wear and especially yellow and pink combination. I think it looks fabulous, and this saree is a perfect blend of colors and the embroidery work on it looks really pretty.

Aren’t these pieces amazing, and there are many many more. You will be spoilt for choice 😀 Absolutely loved the collection on saree.com and definitely shopping here the next time I need to buy ethnic wear. Highly recommended.

Also, I have a special coupon code for you guys which will let you avail INR 500 off on your cart value above 500. Its ‘SPCL500’ valid over next 30 days.

Have you checked out Saree.com yet? Which one is your favourite?

Summer Sunglasses Trends 2015

Come summers, sunglasses become an essential. It is very important to protect our eyes and the skin around from the sun’s harsh rays. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest in our body, so proper protection and care for the eyes are a MUST. While these days, there are so many different styles and designs doing the rounds, you can choose what suits your fancy.

Some trends still continue from 2014, while some styles are new additions in 2015. Lets see some sunglasses trends in 2015.

2014 was all high on cat eye, animal print and geeky glasses. Some trends we see right now and would see more of, in 2015 are:

1. Mirror glasses

Be it round frames,aviators or wayfarers, its all about mirror glasses and high reflecting mirror in blue,green,gray that is 😀 Its all about eye catching statement you see

2. Round frames

Yes, those Gandhi/John Lennon frames are all IN. From geeky to mirrored to the fancy designs, anything in round frames is trendy. and round + mirror is the bomb!

3. Soft Cat Eye

Cat eye glasses are still trendy this season but not the elongated cat eye as before, a soft,slight cat eye.

4. Elegant Details

Gold mesh detailing,swarovski, gold studs, etc,.are all the elegant details added by the designers to vary the look of the glasses.

5. Retro

Thicker rims and metal frames give the glasses a retro look which is also quite trendy nowadays.

6. Wooden and Denim frames

The latest trend just IN is wooden and denim frames..I think they look pretty cool. From light to dark and round to square, all kinds of wooden frames. And so in denim too. Check out this round denim frames, how amazing do they look!

If you don’t like to experiment much, stick to aviators and wayfarers according to your face shape. Check out some elite sunglasses easily available online these days and make a fashion statement this summers!

Advantages of Using Online Coupons for Shopping

For people who have a hectic work schedule and have a long working hours, shopping can be a difficult thing to do, however, with the emergency of a plethora of online stores, shopping has become easy and quick. The online stores not only help you save time but also help you save a lot of money. However, the secret to saving money is knowing how to use the online coupon codes.

Just like the printed coupons that you find on the coupon magazines or the local classifieds, the online coupons can be used to get a discount or rebate on the things that you purchase from the online stores. In the recent times, the online shopping coupons have become a huge hit; they have completely changed the way people shop online these days. If you have no prior experience using the coupon codes, read on to know how you can save money with these coupons:

First and foremost you need to find the coupons online. If you have already made your decision about buying the product from a particular store, you can simple Google the terms (Store name) online coupons. For instance, if you want to a buy a dress or shoes from jabong, you can search for Jabong coupons and you will find a full list of coupons that is available at that particular point of time.

One of the important things to know is that the online coupons are of two types. One is the discount coupons, which allows you to buy a particular item at 30% or 50% discount and the other type is the complimentary coupon, which allows you to get free items on purchase of a particular product or on the purchase of goods for a certain amount. To avoid any confusion while you redeem the coupon code make sure that you choose the right product.

Although a large number of online shoppers today use the discount coupons while shopping, major of them tend to ignore the validity date the coupon. You must know that each and every coupon comes with a certain validity date and if it is not used within the validity period you would not get any discount. Therefore while looking for a discount coupon it is important to check its validity period before using the code while shopping. Typically, most of the online stores, regularly update their coupons and remove the ones that have expired. If you have subscribed for the newsletter service of a certain online store, you can be rest assured of getting the latest coupons through e-mail.

To save money on your online shopping it is advisable that you prepare a list of the things that you wish to buy and then decide which products are your urgent needs and which are the ones that you can afford to buy on a later date. Online shoppers suggest that by doing this, they can save up to 50% more money.

Thus there are many advantages of using coupon codes while shopping online so if you are keen to avail these benefits change your regular shopping habit and get the online coupons and keep saving every time you purchase online.

Editor’s note: Do you shop a lot online? Use coupon codes? I always do and have saved a lot of bucks 😀

OOTD: A  Memorable Day at The Venetian,Macao

Hey guys,

Some of my outfit posts from my honeymoon were pending, so I thought of posting them and share some memories too. The Venetian is a beautiful place!! Its almost similar to the Las Vegas one, in fact all the hotels in Las Vegas are present in Macao too, the entire set up of the city has been made in a similar way.

If you love casinos, you will love Macao, if not, head directly to The Venetian! Its the best place in Macao and a must visit. Its a huge huge hotel with a mall inside and the entire mini Venice setup in between..so basically you see shops all around behind while taking a Gondola ride, right at the centre of the mall! And they have this fake blue skies setup above, so its always daytime there, even at 2 am at night 😀

We stayed one day at The Venetian, it is super expensive but it is so so worth every penny.

I wore this pretty floral skater dress which hugs beautifully till the waist and flares at the bottom..its one of my favourite dresses and what better place than to wear it at this beautiful location.

I paired it with my pearl statement necklace and a Daniel Wellington watch and a spiked and a pearl bracelet in one hand. I was carrying only 2-3 pairs of shoes, so wore these black ankle straped wedges. Unfortunately, I had worn these on the day of the accident and they just flew off when I had the huge fall. I will miss them 🙁

One funny incident related with the pic below..when I was getting my pics clicked, 1-2 random ladies from a group where also getting their pics clicked and suddenly came and started getting pics clicked with me 😀 Then another of her friend did the same..it was kinda weird and funny..may be they loved my dress or me..no idea :/

Dress: Romwe
Shoes: Shown HERE and HERE
Necklace: Shown HERE, HERE and HERE
Watch: Daniel Wellington

On lips: L’Oreal Paris Infallible Lipstick in Ravishing Red

I hope you liked the outfit..do let me know in the comments below.

Earn while you Shop at BonusBay

Online Shopping is IN now. I recently got married and rented out a new place. Shooped online for TV, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, apparel, household goods, fans, other small electronics & stuff.

I got the best products at the best prices.

But off late, I realised that those were not the best prices. Apparently, there are websites that act as a shopping website aggregator for shoppers, i.e. they lead shoppers to online marketplaces like Amazon, Snapdeal, Flipkart and manage to get commissions from these websites as customer referral fees. One such website is www.bonusbay.in

Now why should we go through these websites if I want to buy something from Amazon?

Well, here is the “Best price surprise” part. These websites share their customer referral fees with people like you and me, who shop on the Amazons of the world via their websites.

Let me explain in four easy steps
a) Create a login account at www.bonusbay.in (Or use your facebook account for the same)

b) Go to amazon.in through the above newly created login account. You can also check out the commission you are bound to receive (So, apart from the prices on the websites, you should also calculate the commissions and figure out the net cost. Finally, some use of my accounting/commerce degree). I also checked prices of the same product from direct websites and the prices remain the same. Please comment below if you have found it otherwise for any of the products.

c) Shop like you normally do.
d) There is no step 4. You will get your bonuses in the form of bonusbay points/bonus within a couple of months. Once the bonuses hit 1,000, you can also transfer the same to your bank account. So stop reading this post and go HERE  to avail INR 100 welcome bonus. 🙂

This whole thing reminds me of credit card cash back and reward points stuff. Except that credit cards are much more stingy – 1 reward point for 100 shopping bucks, which translates into just 0.30 paise in my bank. 🙁

P.S: Sponsored Post

Disclaimer: I accept no liability or responsibility in case of any technical issue with credit of bonus to your account by bonusbay. Please read all terms and policies of bonusbay carefully @ http://www.bonusbay.in/information/frequently-asked-questions.

Shopping Experience using VoucherCloud India

Recently launched in India, vouchercloud is a service that finds coupons and coupon codes for all your shopping needs helping you Live More, Spend Less.

vouchercloud delivers the best local deals straight to you, whenever and wherever you like!

You can use coupon codes for online shopping, or access print coupons to use in-store from off from the site.

It can help you save with superb, exclusive money-saving discounts on your favourite activities; eating out, leisure and entertainment, shopping, travel and lots more.

I am on a shopping spree right now..I tried out Vouchercloud and using the coupons, shopped from Fashionandyou.com and Voxpopclothing.com

They had a 20% off on all orders on Fashionandyou.com coupon and that was over and above the discounts the website already had.

 

I got 20% off using the coupon code mentioned on Vouchercloud over and above the pretty good 50% discount on Femella on fashionandyou. I bought this pretty aqua blue Femella dress and a short sleeves printed top and studded black ballet flats from Steppings which again already had 50% off. Happy me 😀

 

Vouchercloud also had a Voxpopclothing Buy 3 Get 2 offer. I have never shopped from Voxpop, so this was the first. I checked out the site and they had some pretty cool and quirky stuff.

 

I ordered 2 fun tees and one quirky PJ’s and got 2 tees free..again a super deal!

 

 

I am quite happy with my purchases and Vouchercloud..I have seen tons of coupon websites and they pretty much have the same deals leading to the websites which already promote their sales and discounts enough on social media and through emails and messages,so there is practically nothing new. Its been a long,long time that I found a site which actually has ‘coupon codes’ and which work successfully.

I would highly recommend you to check Vouchercloud especially before your next purchases, you are sure to find some useful coupons and save some bucks. From health & beauty, food & drink,travel & accommodation, electronics..it pretty much covers everything.

Have you checked out vouchercloud India yet? Do let me know your thoughts.
