Online Shopping: Kalkifashion.com

Have you shopped online? My brother loves flipkart and shops from there but its always little things.

I have brought books and digicam online,but that was after I had seen the actual product in a shop and brought it only because of the discount I was getting.

What troubles me is even if I buy anything online, specially clothes, will they fit?! will it be the exact same product as seen on the screen. I sell my Roli Gaur Vashisht products online at Indianhanger.com and people do buy but I havn't really brought anything online myself.

One of my cousin said she got a lot of her trousseau Saree's and Suits online and they all came out perfect.

I do however love looking at Kalki Fashion, their designs really tempt me.

Roli Gaur Vashisht

Bridal Inspiration : Niki Mahajan

One designer who has got the modern bride just right is certainly Niki Mahajan. She wasn't on my list of check-out-designers last year when I was getting married but for the bride this season you must see her designs!

Dating Delhi : Kingdom of Dreams

I know I planned this section a while back but have finally gotten to it now!

If your newly married, just engaged or planning to tell your parents soon, dating is essentially the way to keep things exciting.

And for newly weds it is so important! You do look cute in your pajama's but if its just PJ's after PJ's every Sunday it makes you feel you are just living as room mates rather than a happily married couple, so here are things to keep the magic alive ;)

Let's begin with

Kingdoms of Dreams

We went there on our 6 month anniversary. I had been there before with my friend, on my birthday a couple of years back, but we never saw the show just went around the cultural gully, eat, shopped and went back.

My husband booked our tickets online, which was good since the line to buy tickets was a bit long even though it was a weekday.

As you enter you are greeted by huge elephants welcoming you in, you get your pictures clicked in front of a blank sheet which will later be Photoshoped so you look like your standing in front of the main gate, you can collect these later. We didn't, they came out very weird.

That's the gate into the cultural gully, Cultural Gully is basically like a walk into various parts of India, you enter and there is a punjabi truck on your right, Karnataka mask on your left, some or the other Indian dance is going on. When we entered it was a dance form from down south.

Store Review : Ritu Kumar, South Extention Part 2

When Ritu Kumar store opened in South Extention all I could think was why didn't it open before! I really wanted to go shopping (read : window shopping) for my wedding. Although Ritu kumar did already have stores in other parts of Delhi I never really gave it a thought, after all JJ Valaya bridal lehenga's start at 4-5L, from what I had heard, so Ritu Kumar's would be similar, no?!
So I skipped the whole visiting designer store scene.

However if the south extension store would have been open then I would have surely entered just out of curiosity. After all it is on the way to every where I went wedding shopping. As a traditional bride Ritu Kumar would have been the perfect designer for me.

I went anyways last week, just to go experience.

Light Lehenga's

I know the blogs becoming more like a marketing tool for the brand, but I really want to show you guys what I am working on! I feel like I get more honest replies via blog than any where else.

Promise will be back to normal blogging soon!

Lehenga's for your sangeet, mehendi and the sister's of the bride and groom!

They are all in the range of 12k-20k

Exhibiting @ Thank God for Design!

To those of you who don't know, I design when I am not researching for the blog. 

Saturday saw me waking up early getting super nervous "what if I don't sell even a single garment" I whispered to hubby, "Then you will know what not to do" he replied half asleep.

I am not sure if that helped but ah well, that was all I had to keep me encouraged. ( I was super scared!)

We reached the exhibition venue at 10am and started our setup, by the time we were done around 11ish I was a little relaxed. It was my first exhibition and was almost like a brand launch.

I had 'practiced' the day before how I wanted my dummy to look, so it was easy to set up, the next day.

The picture isn't too clear,
the blouse is acutally a bird print blouse with neon green lehenga with a yellow dupatta
