My Beach Bag !!

Hello People !!

I remember talking about this one bag that I had my eyes on since quite some time and I realize that I might have mentioned about it in more than 1 blog posts :-p  Like Here and Here .. lol !!

So finally I  have it and this lucky one is gonna come with me to my next trip sooooon !! (yeah.. there is one very very exciting trip on the cards by the way ... )

Au Naturale Hair !!

Hey there lovelies !!

This is a very special post as its been written by our very first 'guest writer' and my extremely dear friend !! Sharadha Raghunathan is a proud owner of beautiful skin, luscious hair and a golden heart :D So after much coaxing to share her beauty secrets , she agreed to divulge some...
Her first weapon is - no poo method !! Read to on to know what this bizarre sounding method is in her own words ..

My Fav Sunscreen !!

Hello People !!

Sorry for such a huge gap between updates .. but I have been very happily busy with something very important !

Oh by the way .. I finally got to play Holi and the event organizers more than made up for the delay by arranging the most fun Holi event right on a beach :D It was one grand affair with DJ and colors and Indian delicacies (I mean food alright!!! lolzzz )

I was obviously very excited about the whole thing, but my only worry was that it was gonna be in the sun on the beach for more than 4 hours .. now that can cause some serious sun damage and tanning. (scares me to no extent ! ) Now I have come to experience that sunscreens only screen your skin from sun damage and not from tanning .. so I was quite prepared to get back home with different shades of brown ..

Beach Babe !!

Come summer and the world is ready to jump in the sea !! like literally ... Almost all of us wanna stay in the water to  beat the heat like hippos , except we dont wanna look like them !! (no way dude ! )

So ... we bathe in sunscreen before we bathe in water .. sit under an umbrella or under a humongous hat .. keep sipping ice tea and take an ultra glamorous dip in the sea :D

So here I am .. with a checklist to help you not forget anything before you pick up your beach bag and head off to the beach :)

Foremost .. a very cute beach bag to stash all your stuff in ! I just ordered mine and its on the way !! here is a pic though .. I had mentioned about it here :D

Philosophy Miracle Worker !

Hello There !!

I hope all of you are busy providing your skin with lots of much needed TLC after all the Holi fun :D .. (no I am an exception as I would be playing Holi a week after the whole world has already done it :( )

To add on to the love you can provide to your skin, have a look at a Miracle Worker night moisturizer by Philosophy .

When I bought my Bare Minerals Risk It All lip color, the lovely MUA gave me two cute samples of Philosophy products - a night moisturizer and a cleanser .

Happy Holi 2014 !!

Dearest Holi Lovers (and non Holi Lovers)

Wish you all a very happy and colorful Holi !! Have loads of fun and sweets and make sure you use pakka colors (sporting post Holi colors is major fun :p ) .

If you are thinking that this post is going to be about what precautions to take before you go out to get drenched in color ... my apologies :D I am not going to give you any gyan of that sort because um sure by now we all know that nothing works !! lol ! So go out and go all out and have a time of your life !!

I remember when I used to stay with my friends, after playing Holi we all used to put on some music and sit together chatting while removing colors from our arms and legs and face and nails !! Super fun !!

Yes this purple nose joker is me :D

Happy Holi Guys and Play Safe ;)

xoxo :)

LFW Summer/Resort 2014 !

Holi Kab Hai ?? ..... Kab Hai Holi ??

lol !! no um not trying to be lady Gabbar Singh here .. its just that Holi happens to be on Monday (which is not a very good day since its the first day of the week ! ) and lots of Holi lovers dont have the patience of waiting out the entire week so some are celebrating it this weekend, some on Monday and some next week .. what a confusion ! When am I supposed to wish people "Happy Holi" haan ??

Holi is one festival where people have a lot of mixed feelings .. I know a lot of ppl who wont even let u touch them with your colored finger tip No Matter What :( fun spoilers I call them :-/
Me, on the other hand .. am CRAZY (u know I really mean it when i go all caps :D lol !! ) about Holi !! Its the bestest festival :D

So I spent this whole week counting days (sadly, have to count out another week :( ) and to make it run by faster, I did 2 things :
1. Completed 3 seasons of game of thrones and
2. Followed Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014

Currently Craving ...

Lots of alphabets for sure :( The thing is, when ever I try and write a word that has double letters in it, I almost 99.9% of the times end up writing those letters three times .. and this is happening (I just now had to delete an extra 'p' from this word !! arrrgh .. ) like all the time !!

Well ( thank god for the spell check ... else u wud have read this as 'welll' .. ) , I dunno why but um suddenly feeling like I need to have some standard color accessories in my collection (apart from black) and I should limit the colors to clothes only (thats the sensible  me talking I guess ... um sure when I do go to buy 'standard' , I'll bring home a pair of fuchsia shoes ! )

'Tan' seems to be on my mind a lot lately and these cutesie pieces are only making me crave it more !!

Mirror Mirror ... On The Wall !!

Who is the most stylish of them all ?? (It better be me coz u r my mirror and I paid for you damn it ! )

Looks like all of our top B town actresses were asking this question while getting ready to be awarded the 'Most Stylish' award this Sunday in Mumbai.
While I think they are always striving to be stylish and pretty and 'different' at most of their award function outings .. they would have gone that extra inch to make sure they put their most stylish foot forward for this one ! agree ?

Unfortunately, I barely found anyone's outfit really standing out (as they should have !) .. These ladies dress up better for Blender's Pride fashion tour every year for  God's sake ..

So here is my pick of good and great (leaving out the average of course ! )

Thin OR Slim ???

No dear readers .. um not trying to indulge you in an English vocab game at all ..
This pic of Keira Knightly in Chanel outfit has me feeling all depressed :( :( :( I mean right now my FB status could read -  CrazyAboutPretty is "depression frowney expression" feeling depressed looking at Keira Knightly's picture !

Pink going on Red !!

Hello People !!

Missed me ?? :D Sorry for being away from the scene for the past few days , I was really caught up with personal stuff .. but um back ! 

Remember the "Currently Craving" list that I published a few days back .. well I did manage to get one of those and am I glad ! Its one of the best makeup products I have in my stash right now :D 

Unveiling the Bare Minerals - Risk It All lip color (I love the name by the way ;) 

Free People !!

Just so you know, I have not started any freedom movement against any government and I am still talking about fashion :D

After a rather long gap, I happened to go the mall today to buy something 'important'  , but obviously - its a mall and you can not not look ! right ? So while I knew what I wanted to buy , I carelessly glanced over all the new 'Spring' stuff, purely because um a blogger now and I need to know the market (I never do this otherwise. I just go and buy what I need :p you HAVE to believe me guys !!)

There was very cute Style&Co dress that I had tried on a few months back and spent good 10 minutes just contemplating about it (and ended up not buying it coz it was slightly pricey) .. that dress has come down to $80 !! (no I still din buy it coz I have a very strong feeling it will come to $50 ! lol ! )
