There is literally no other time in the year quite like Christmas. The thing about Christmas is that – no matter which part of the world you are from, what religion/race you belong to, whether you technically celebrate it or not, we all happily give in to the cheer of Christmas. With the New Year […]
Dress: Bombay Paisley by Westside Photography: Neha Bandodkar My birthday was last month and I received a lot of birthday wishes (I’m sorry I’ve yet to reply to all of them!!) and also a number of questions. One of the most interesting questions was – ‘is it worth it to follow your dreams’? Now before […]
I was coming back home from the gym when it started to rain the other day. The first rain of the year in Mumbai, after months. I was not prepared at all. I found a tiny tea stall near my gym and I quickly ran in for shelter. Usually I do carry an umbrella but […]
Now, that it is summer, you’ll start to notice yellow popping up all over Instagram. Call it mustard, marigold, or lemon — all these tones fall under the yellow category. Earlier this year, fashion runways saw brands like Balenciaga and Calvin Klein showcasing their bright yellow collections. Bloggers, celebrities and models ditched the silver, black […]
I love attending weddings. I have hosted several of them too. To me, a wedding is something personal. Something that is to be shared with the people who are dear to you. Sometimes, I don’t see the point of grand rituals and celebrations. There is often a lot of hype on how extravagant the setup […]
When I was a teenager, I remember saving up, days prior to Valentine’s Day, making mandatory trips to the nearby gift store, creating paper greeting cards, putting on my favourite hair band and heading to Mcdonald’s to meet my high school date. Today of course, mushy posts on social media have replaced greeting cards. The […]
Most of my hauls are done while I am travelling and this time round too, I revamped my set of cosmetics when I went back home to Singapore. In today’s video, I have done a quick but exciting makeup haul featuring NYX, Benefit, Make Up For Ever, Lakme etc. I shopped till I dropped when I […]
Bugis street is possibly one of the best street shopping markets in the world. When I went back home to Singapore last month, I shopped A LOT. I can’t even begin to explain how much I shopped. And quite a lot from Bugis street. I hope you have seen my vlog on the same which […]
I am a vintage girl. I wished I belonged to a different time period – 60s, 70s. I love everything about old school. As I was clearing my laptop data, I chanced upon some photos which I had shot for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, four years back. At that time, I had no idea what a […]
In between shoots, workout, dance, castings and writing, I always try and make a bit of time for myself. Unfortunately, that does not happen too often. But a long weekend like this calls for some me time. I’ve been lately crushing on this cranberry breezer! If you’re like me, who does not prefer heavy alcohol, […]
The sweet melody of monsoon is better than any music. The pitter-patter on my window panes alone eases away stress and makes everything outside look calm and quiet. I love the sound of rains. The sound of rain is the sound of water… sound of nature… and sound of life. Have you ever wondered why […]
Am I a fashion week regular yet? Hmm, I don’t know but I definitely enjoy attending all seasons of Lakme Fashion Week. Earlier this year, I did a vlog on how I spent my entire day at Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017. And last week, I had the opportunity to attend Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive […]
By: Radhika Gupta Donning a dress from Anushree Reddy’s limited edition “A Reveur Collection”, Jacqueline Fernandez looks absolutely stunning on the cover of the June-July issue of the ‘Harper’s Bazaar Bride’ magazine. Designed especially for the 21st century bride, the collection is fashioned in a sophisticated yet very feminine manner for Harper’s Bazaar Bride in […]
Last weekend, I had the chance to attend the Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017. I watched shows by 4 upcoming fashion designers – Vidhi Wadhwani, Abha Choudhary, Chandrika-Raamz and Sashi Vangapalli presented by 6 Degree Studios. Vidhi’s collection was named – ‘La-isla’ was dramatic, playful and had lots of interesting drapes with clean and neat silhouettes. Chandrika & Raam’s […]
Living in Mumbai for over 3 years now, I have come to realise that this city is always bustling with energy. Whether on the roads, in the markets, in restaurants and of course the clubs, you’ll rarely find Mumbai down on energy. And while all that is great and I love the fact that this […]
Usually on the first day of New Year, I often reflect and set out my goals for the upcoming 12 months. As I begin 2017, I have nothing much to really outline apart from having a sense of gratitude for all that I went through last year. 2016 wasn’t an easy year and as I […]
I’m in love with Durga Puja and I can totally explain why. I lived in Singapore all my life – 22 years to be exact before I came to Mumbai a couple of years back. I was raised there, embraced the multi-racial culture fully, the yummy food (oh how much I miss it) and of […]
Earlier this week, I was invited to attend a preview of the second edition of Bride and Baraat collection by KALKI. Inspired by the regal origins and concepts, the new range by KALKI uncovers the Italian romance. KALKI presented an exclusive couture collection which is a mélange of signature designs, trousseau and occasion wear ensembles […]
For this season’s Lakme Fashion Week Festive/Resort 2016, I was invited to attend the Rajesh Pratap Singh show sponsored by Reliance Trends. The show was all about celebrating ‘ Trendsetters ’ – people who have made a mark in their respective fields, the ones who have set trends and shown the world to live life […]
Baar Baar Dekho trailer is out and the movie looks hot, at least in the style quotient! Katrina Kaif looks like a million bucks in all the frames and all the shots and there are 5 looks while I totally loved. Just from the trailer, here’s an attempt at dissecting some of the super cool outfits […]
By now you guys already know that I’ve been harping about my trip to Thailand earlier this month. And you can’t blame me because I really had a brilliant time there. Well, I spent the maximum of my time in Bangkok and I must say that the Thai capital has a lot to offer and […]
Hello everyone! So as you know, I had a lovely stay in Thailand during the last few days and I simply can’t seem to get over it. I must tell you that this time round my trip was just not another work trip. Over and above the shopping, eating, swimming, massages and sight-seeing – I […]
