Knock Knock! Dress Delivery.

Saucy n Sharp !

You know I trust my instincts. When I feel something is good – I just go after it. And I know am right. I’ve been right about a lot of movies you know and past boyfriends (ok not them) but a whole lotta things, mostly clothes. I know there is always a chance of something not working out but that’s life right. I had the same feeling about this dress when I saw it in the monsoon collection of Brass Tacks and I knew it would work for me. And it did! I just got it delivered to my doorstep today from Chennai and it fits to a t! I love it. I love the smell of new clothes. The soft crispy touch. Wow! My monday was truly made with the outfit. Its super smart and I can wear it to a class to the movies to a casual shopping spree (which iam today – going shopping with my sister in-law to be). Take a look and let me know what you think!

Are you shore?

No I did not forget the spelling of “sure” I meant to say are you aware of “Urban Shore” the place that celebs go to when they want to look nice n naturally beautiful. (Urbanshore.in) They are basically specialists in skin, body and hair care products and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) too uses their products! No wonder she looks the way she does at 40. Gosh will I every look so good as she does at 40. I wonder! What do you think? And I wanna know what should I do? Iam waiting for your “look gorgeous at 40″ tips then.

Malini Murjani

Ssup! I had a super fun Sunday. Did you? You wanna know what I did? After ages I took some time off to indulge myself in some beauty treatments. Yes I really needed them with my holiday coming around the corner – I don’t want to look like a beached whale in the pics after all. So I got myself a clean-up some hair deep conditioning treatment and I came out looking all pretty and preened up!

What I’ve got to share with you today is also someone very pretty. (And she is a no.3 person like me and they are supposed to be very lucky ) Her name is Malini Murjani. Now if your are fashionista and you know your bags and brands – you know who she is. She makes some of the most stylish bags! (See www.malinim.com) But more than that I think she is a looker a stunner, a beauty truly rare! What’s more? She carries herself with so much grace and elegance – am stunned. All I can say is Malini you are gorgeous! But more than that its your grace, subdued style, understated beauty that all makes you so spectacular. You radiate a sense of collected calm and warmth which is extremely endearing. I would love to meet you and get to know you better as am sure underneath lies a soul even more beautiful!

Isn’t she gorgeous? I told you.

And she wants to make you happy and they wanna make you happy! Yes everyone wants to make you happy now if you will only let them.

Ok are you HAPPY NOW or what !

Fab Festive Offers From Femina !

Femina ! Now that is a magazine I have been reading or atleast seeing ever since I was a child. My mother subscribed to it every since I can remember. It was a cult magazine for women at that time and I think it still is in many ways although a dozen other magazines have mushroomed over the years – Iam quite loyal to this one (I do read all but Femina is a friend) . Iam sure as little girls all of us sneaked away with the copy of Femina and read all the things that were so not meant for us to read! Now that’s all a part of growing up I would think! Right?

Ok coming to the point, Femina is offering some super offers if you subscribe. You can pick, choose and pack (i love the sound of that) your own gifts to go with your subscription. Cool na? Take a look.

Am sure you would be tempted! So go ahead, log on to http://www.festivepicks.femina.in/

P.S. The site femina.in is pretty cool! All about girly stuff. Make-up and break-ups, the works.

Baby is blissful

I don’t want to buy a MAC. I dont want new clothes. I don’t want to know what tomorrow brings. I don’t care about a wardrobe filled with brand new things. Iam happy. content. at peace. Iam smiling not widely but there is a subtle sense of peace and calm that prevails on my face – the spark radiates from my eyes. Its subdued yet prominent. It speaks about my safe, secure, satisfied, satiated sense of being in every way. Hey! Hey! Don’t close the browser – its me gorgeous girlie – its just a new day in my life with a new experience and am sure am still gonna want all those things that iam gonna want – the boots, the gladiators, the bags et al. Its just a feeling of euphoria but more like contentment, more like am peaceful, am truly feeling the bliss. Ever felt that? Share it with me. I wanna know what your experience was lilke. I don’t know why am feeling this way for actually I should be feeling the complete opposite as my throat is terrible and am mentally drained from the work. My body is physically tired but yet after I came back from a meeting at Phoenix Mills – i feel refreshed, rejuvenated – so content that if I were to die today at this very moment – i’d happily say good bye and love to you all. Don’t miss me too much. I feel spiritually alive. You know that feeling? You know that feeling? (Yes I wrote that sentence twice because I thought it twice) Could it be the person I met at the meeting and the effect she brought about? She sure is a very spiritual person. Hmm. I don’t know what it is. Iam trying hard to express but its a beautiful feeling of joy combined with bliss sprinkled with grace and dollops of happiness! Are you thinking of ice cream? Coz Iam!:)

As I sit in my dim lit room with soothing blue surrounding me – I smile and smile and thank god for these moments of peace. Before I get back into the grind and start to get all nervy and jittery about work, home, life - I just want to enjoy this precious moment while it lasts. I feel liberated like never before like an angel came over me – as I sway to soothing music playing on the radio. You should see me now. You will love me!

 

P.S. I must say Phoenix Mills after 9pm has funny people you know the ones who stare hard and you wanna pluck their eyes out. I told you I will be back to being myself again.

Miss Minisha Aha (a la Mis. Braganza in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai)

There’s nothing that refreshes me more than a hot cuppa chai (The Indian Kadak one) Not with the tea bag and the green tea et al. Keep that for the girls who wanna lose weight and detox their systems (not like there is anything wrong with that) But I like my tea strong with lots of adarak (ginger) and a t spoon sugar and sometimes cardamom too. Oh and talking about tea, the truck drivers chai at Oxford Cha bar Churchgate is awesome. Ok too much of tea talk now!

I know you wanna know more about the lady in the picture. I have just received some awesome pics of Miss. Minisha Lamba. Yes, the pretty damsel from Yahan, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Kidnap and other movies. I think she is a good looking gal. Actually I love the way she looks. You know the cute kudi next door look? That character of Maahi she played was so lovable in Bachna Ae Haseeno. Didn’t you find it adorable? Iam a complete sucker for the senti stuff so liked it(her character and the movie). She also wore some beautiful sarees and jewellery in Bachna Ae Haseeno (Like all Yashraj girls in the movies do). What do you feel about Miss Minisha? Well all I can say is that Iam looking forward to her new role and fresh look in Shyam Benegal’s Abba ka kuan. I like you Minisha. I think you are girly n cute!

Shimmer like a star.

 

Love bling? Who doesn’t? (Mehr Jesia Rampal! Yes apparently she doesn’t give a damn about jewelery and her hubby the hottie Arjun Rampal says he’s so lucky) I know most men would kill to have a wife like her hahahahahah!

Well whatever it is that is your bling quotient, I have news that will make you shimmer as you read this. I just received this text so this is fresh and hot and make the most of it while the offer lasts. If you are First Citizen Club Member of Shoppers Stop (apparently everyone I know is) and if you wanna buy some gold and diamond from Damas, you will get a holiday voucher absolutely FREE FREE FREE! The catch? Offer valid from 7th Nov’09 to 30th Nov’09 and only at Shoppers Stop.

Style up with Sisley.

 

Told you November was nice. And lots more deals are coming up! Sisley too has something to offer you. I honestly have always loved the stuff here. Whether its their trousers or bags or tees, skirts. Even their pairs of shorts are quite cute. Not bought anything yet! But am sure sure something is on the cards as they do have a “deal” that has managed to delight me! Mind you sister! Sisley is a tad expensive so be prepared to shell out the bucks for the booty! Where to go? Sisley is at Mega Mall, Andheri West. (The mall rocks!)

November is nice

Yes it truly is. I remember this time last year I was getting married and I loved the sales and best deals. Thanks to them I had a month of blissful shopping and buying all the bridey stuff last minute. So November is back which means all the nice things are back too! Sales, steals, deals et al. If you have no time to head out to the nearest mall, fikar not! Here is a store online that is having a sale and I recommend you take a look.  And if you are getting married and need some last minute honeymoon-holiday stuff Sophistix online is a good choice! Shop happy!
