Red Soiree !

Blow a kiss if Red is your color ! I have been told that mine is , so :-* :D

How many times have you seen a very expensive red saree in a store and thought to yourself "I can totally get this made myself ! ". Well.. I had that moment when I saw Kareena chammak challo-ing in Ra One ! lol zz
So I bought a plain red chiffon saree and a crappy gold border (it was the best I could manage in the non-fashion conscious city I lived in :-/ ) and put the look together with a gold blouse.. and my mom was like - "what were you thinking ??? "
Since them I have come a long way ... phew !

Jade by Monika and Karishma !

If you have been following the FB Page of this blog, you'll know that I am currently lusting after this shell pink stunner by Jade .

Pink or Red ? Um losing my head !! :P

Like literally ! I posted the 2 outfits on the Facebook Page of this blog but I think everyone is almost as confused as I am :(
So I decided to give out a lil bit of more detail around what I like and dislike about the outfits and how they can be styled so that it helps you decide and then you help me decide ! sounds like a plan right ? lets get starteddddd !!

R U Ready for Anushree Reddy !!

Ya I know the title is lame .. lolzzzz

So our second designer is just as delicate and dreamy as her creations. Anushree Reddy is relatively pretty new (pretty and new actually ! ) in the fashion circuit and I was floored by her designs in 2013 Lakme Fashion Week !!

 Her trademark style is floral prints and scalloped edges .. I would say her creations are just perfect for a princessy engagement look :)

Designer Talk - Anju Modi !

Hello Girlies !!

Ok be honest. While watching Ram Leela, how many of us were able to take our eyes off Ranveer's chiseled frame ??? Coz those of you who would have managed to blink, might have actually noticed Deepika's gorgeous super flared lehengas !!

I first noticed the lehenga when the Raam Leela poster was released and I cudnt take my eyes off it ! And then I learned it was Anju Modi and since then I have seen stuff from her that makes me feel where was she before Raam Leela happened ??

Jack of all trades !!

Hello Girlies :)

Agggges ! I know :)

I wudnt have opened this even today had I not visited the mall and picked up something that I cudnt wait to share with yall :D
So if u remember, I have been raving about this 'Risk It All' lip color by Bare Minerals in quite a many of my prev posts .. and its been more than 3 months and I wear it almost everyday and I am still madly in love !!
So my heart (mind is always shut up in shopping matters :p ) realized that its time to bring home some frenz to this very beautiful lip product !

Miami - a place to be !

I know I have been MIA since ages now and a lot of you all have complained about it . Honestly, I did not even know that you girls liked the blog so much that it was being missed :) makes me feel really good !! Thank u people (specially Kanchan ! )

So while a lot has been happening around me, one good thing that happened was that I was lucky enough to go on a short and super fun vacation with my gurl gang to Miami and Key West ! It was supposed to be a spinsters party cum vacation coz one of my very close friends is getting married next month !

So obviously it was a summer theme with summer dresses and bright lips. And thats what the post is all about :) 3 lip colors and 2 sun screens ruled the trip.. read on to meet the heroes :D

Currently Craving ...

Definitely craving some flat abs right now :( All these crop tops are causing serious depression !

But on a more materialistic front .. um seriously craving for some 'ethnic wear' .. its just been sooo long :( I really wanna attend a weddingggg !!

Oh and that reminds me .. have you guys seen Main Tera Hero ? no ? ok.. have you seen the video for 'shanivaar raati' song from the same movie ? I kinda liked Nargis's outfit in that song. It was a pretty coral lehenga with a hot pink dupatta .. and I have a thing for hot pink, god knows why !

I couldn't find a proper pic on Google .. but this should give an idea.

Trend Alert !!

They say that when you are afraid of something.. shutting your eyes tight will not make it go away. You have to be brave and face it all !

so here I am, face to face with - cropped tops !!

I could see it coming when I was following LIFW that this is going to be a dare bare summer .. but I conveniently ignored it :) but yesterday, while I was out shopping for one of my upcoming trips .. all I could see were these cropped tops .. very pretty.. very tempting .. equally risky !

 

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
