Affordable Winter Fashion Look ft. Berrylook.com

To dress for the cold weather is seriously a task for me. I literally need to make clothing strategy for every single day because my body has a tendency to feel excessively cold. That's the reason I'm mostly seen dressed up in many layers of clothing whenever I'm stepping out of my home. With all that extra weight of heavy coats/jackets on my shoulders, I usually end up straining my muscles that causes me frequent stiffness and pain in nape of the neck. To avoid aggravating the issue, I wanted to buy myself a good-looking light-weight winter jacket and as usual was looking for the available options online.

I stumble upon Berrylook.com which is a global online store that delivers latest fashion apparel primarily for women (though they've men fashion products too). Berrylook stocks lovely dresses, tops, bottoms, swimwear, accessories, footwear, bags and jewelry for girls and ladies in thousands of different styles. Best part? one can easily get his/her order delivered anywhere in the world. So I decided to shop my heart out as they ship to India as well.

After spending a few hours hand-picking appropriate products of my prefernce,  here is what I got --

Well! you might find it funny, but the first item that I ordered is a High Neck Pocket Quilted Plain Jacket from Men's category of winterwear.

The red colour with a punch of cherry caught my eye. Also it's finish and fit seemed to be suited for females as well. And yeah, I wasn't wrong in my anticipation. The quilted jacket is absolutely perfect for my bodytype. It made me feel warm on quite a windy day.

The jacket is available in SkyBlue, Dark Blue and Black colour also in all the sizes.

Though I didn't want to spend more in my first order, but then so many chic-looking cheap sneakers aroused my desire to own atleast one pair of latest style for the season. Berrylook has all sort of heeled and flat sneakers in amazing colour & patterns. Since I don't need to enlongate my height, I picked a pair of sober, non-embellished Plain Flat Round Toe Casual Sneakers. Co-incidentally, the shoes are also in red colour :) They look really fab and are comfortable.

Last but not the least, bought a Silk Polyester Scarf in Stripes of shades of blue in my shopping cart that would complete my semi-formal look when paired with denim and crisp white shirt.

Overall, I'm delighted with my first ever shopping experience with Berrylook.com and this is certainly not the last one.

Raksha Bandhan Gifting Options for Your Fashionable Sibling

We all have that special person in our lives... a brat who grew up snatching your favourite tees or probably a cool dude who comes up with excellent style tips on how to be a street star; a protective bestie who saves you from scoldings when you're mistaken or a possessive friend who would keep an eye on you all the time, but won't admit.

Well! this 'someone' is none other than your irritable yet so affectionate 'sibling' who is your companion for lifetime. Who else can you be screaming at one minute and hugging the next moment? But somewhere deep inside your heart, you know that your brothers and sisters will always have your back.

For a brother or sister with whom you share such a prolific relationship, an exclusive gift on Raksha Bandhan is almost inescapable. I know it's hard to come up with a great gift for your siblings, but while searching for an ultimate 'gift of utility' in honour of my most favoured festival, I stumbled on Shor Sharaba and there I found something exactly what I wanted ;)

Before I show you what I ordered, let me make some 'shor' ;)
Shor Sharaba is an entrepreneurial venture of two sisters who believe in the theory of  'doing something you love'. The duo began with designing cushions and coasters in classy colours and fabrics that ruled the roost in home décor. Later they extended their collection with new categories of products including bags, gadget accessories, iPad cases, laptop bags, passport covers, wallets that were way beyond usual and spelled beautiful vibrancy. The enthusiastic girls keep on adding up something or the other in their existing merchandise regularly for their own creative satisfaction that pleases their clients and make them keep coming back.

Do they deserve all this Shor Sharaba?

Here's a truth, whether you choose to believe it or not: I assess a brand from different aspects. When I explored Shor Sharaba, I was really impressed to see their noisy collection and innocently smiling kiddo models ;) I was curious to find if the brand has got something for brothers and sisters both & to my sheer joy, I found many options that were in-line with my liking. I ordered two jackets - Shlokas Jacket for Girls and Mustaches Jacket for boys. My order was dispatched the same day and a properly packed parcel was delivered to me in expected number of working days.

These jackets perfectly balance being cool and practical. When you hand one over to your bro or sis, it gives you a feeling that you're giving them a touch of inherent trendiness. Such gifts make the receiver realise how closely you understand their fine taste. Just throw on these quirky jackets and spice up your boring outfit.

Boys jackets can be worn as part of an ensemble with an ethnic kurta / with a casual tee or as a statement piece by themselves!

Girls certainly have many more creative way to style these jackets. Team it up with a slip dress, long kurti, over a crop top or a basic LBD; it's gonna add the perfect amount of glam quotient to your dressing sense.

The best part? these jackets are reversible, so for the days when you like to dress a little sporty, flip these jackets inside out and give your weekend look an subtle yet edgy twist. I highly recommend to take your pick and layer up this season while making a bold statement with these jackets!

Other than these jackets that I ordered, Shor Sharaba offers delightful kids clothing items like printed & embroidered, Kurta Pyjama Sets, Sherwanis, Girly Capes, cute Denim Dresses and much more. And these are available in sizes suited to age group starting 6 months onwards. Imagine how adorable your little bro or sis will look in these happy dresses :)

For those who are sceptical to got for a clothing item, a handbag with indie pop of colour can be the best pick for your sis. Truly crushing over their sling bags that would add the perfect finishing touch to your outfit.

Summing up, I would say Shor Sharaba unquestionably deserves all the applauds for being a perfect place for presenting extensive products at budget friendly prices without compromising in quality. Must visit them if your sibling has an unusual taste to clothing and accessories that are funky, rare, strange, loud, and unexpected. Hurry!! It's time to shop for that handpicked token of love for your near and dear ones that will bring a broad smile on their faces.

Best Selling Photo Gifts for this Festive Season

If you just glance at the festival calender for this month and for next few, you'll be filled with the joy to realise that people in different regions of the country observe such unique festivals almost every day that if we start celebrating all those special ocassions, our life will be a never-ending merrymaking. And with the festivals, comes the thought of finding gifts and presents with which we would like to surprise our loved ones. 🎁 Gifts symbolize our love, affection and emotions. And this year I wanted to give gifts that are little more heartfelt and personal. After spending a couple of hours searching for nice gifts online, I finally zeroed on the idea of getting some Photo Gifts printed for upcoming Raksha Bandhan festival that could make my siblings not just smile but remind them how much I care for them. Once my idea of Photo Gifts was approved by Mr. hubby, I decided to order some nice gift items from Canvas Champ because I had a satisfactory experience with them earlier in two instances when I got myself Buddha on Canvas and Square Pillow prints 'done to perfection' by their dedicated team of experts.

About Canvas Champ
Canvas Champ is an online portal with a combined experience of well over 25 years in graphic designing. The materials they use for their prints are up to the industry standards. They assure you quality product at pocket-friendly prices. Their design wizards are up to any task that the customer has for them and there is no request they cannot fulfill. Their prices can get even better, if you are ordering in bulk quantities. Even the business owners are choosing Canvas Prints as their preferred corporate gifting option.

Speciality Photos Products I Ordered as per liking of my family members are:

Canvas Print:

The most popular photo prints that I have ever come across are the canvas prints. And the versatility and economical prices of these definitely make them candidate of popularity amongst masses. Canvas Champ offers different types of canvas prints. A Rolled Canvas comes in the form of a stretchable tube which gives an ease to expand so you can display it in different ways. Single Panel Canvas is the most unadulterated & conventional form of Canvas Prints where the photo is printed on a single flat panel of high quality wood. Split Canvas Print basically splits the canvas into parts that transforms an ordinary picture into blocks of trendy art pieces. There are wide customization choices in terms of border colour, image wrap, hanging hooks, liquid lamination and much more. One can spend really good time uniting excellent features before placing a final order. Pricing starts at just Rs. 299.

Metal Print:

Metal is something I tried for the first time as a photo base. It's a frameless photo with thin base that can be fixed on the wall or wood easily. The metal used is of premium quality aluminium which ensures that there is minimum glare and the picture looks beautiful even from a distance. Metalic prints look stand out whether you showcase them at home or office. Fix them anywhere and make your interiors look striking. Photos printed on metal are not only eye-catchy, but these are waterproof, UV resistant and quite durable. These prints are available in various sizes as per the requirement of the customer with a starting price apprx. 900/-.

Acrylic Print:

For those who love adapting to new trends, Acrylic Glass Print is one such creative segment to explore. Getting your photos on acrylic glass is a sure shot way to add a new style statement to your home decor. Acylic prints are light weight, easily portable and ready-to-mount. They commendably portray the true effects and colors without losing the essence of originality. Isn't it a cool way to express and impress at the same time? You can choose the size, thickness, framing, hanging etc. that best fit your need and can get this classy gift printed at a starting price of apprx. 1500/-

Wood Print:

Just like the other two Specialty Prints in metal and glass, the Wood Print is also a distinct printing base on which the picture is directly printed by expert artisans instead of photo mounting and dye sublimation. They use high-quality Chromaluxe Wood Panels of 1.0" thickness which is durable enough and maintains the weight of the panel. The wood frame is adorned with protective lamination to keep your print dirt-free and any harm from alien objects. The wood prints come with a groove at its rear side, so all you need is to hang it on the screw directly. The wood prints can be done in single piece, three piece set or four piece set depending on the space availability. Starts at Rs. 1299/-

USP of Canvas Champ:

• Unlike most photo print portals that I've order on in the past, Canvas Champ has a vast variety of product choices including canvas prints, framed prints, photo gifts, wall displays etc.
• The print quality has always been impressive. I've been admiring their high-quality work since my first order. 
• Special attention is paid towards excellent packaging to deliver the product safely to the customer. For this particular order, they had packed the products in wooden cases that were sealed with nails very carefully. 
• The price has been fairly quoted for all the products. And the icing on the cake is that you will find lucrative discount deals going on the website most of the times to save your hard-earned money. Not to forget, greater offers on prices can be worked out for bulk orders.
• If you're unsure of what to buy as the best gift for your loved ones, you may get a CC Gift Voucher delivered to them that suits your budget and gives the receiver the freedom of selecting their own gift.

I highly recommend you all to give Canvas Champ a shot to turn your photos into masterpieces and I'm absolutely sure you'll have nothing but a wonderful shopping experience. 

P.S. My clicks haven't done justice with the real print quality. The prints are really better than seen here.

My Shopping Experience
I'm a jewelery hoarder and had been looking for some necklace with a regal appeal to it that may go with my newly purchased saree. A random hunt for graceful jewellery pieces took me to preciousyou.in and much impressed with their collection I started frisking their entire collection. After a while, I realised I wasn't exploring something that was on my shopping hit list, rather I had spent almost two hours admiring the exquisite rings, graceful bracelets and fanciable necklaces. On the back of my mind, I was estimating the budget I may have to spend on this site to own some gorgeous pieces. 

On the spur of the moment, I clicked on the Handbag category with an intention to give a quick glance and my eyes were struck on the cute little Cherry Red Vegan Leather Bag. 

That sounds abrupt, but I instantly made up my mind to forego jewellery shopping for the time being because a bag in this particular colour was my long cherished wish and I didn't want to miss this one.

Placing the order had been a cakewalk...absolutely hassle-free and no confusion in navigating on the site looking for options. I opted for Cash on Delivery option which costs NO EXTRA payment unlike most shopping portals. I received a confirmation email right after placing the order. The order was shipped within 24 hours and the updates on the order status was emailed to me with Tracking details. A properly packed parcel was delivered to me within 3 days that was quick enough. See how I styled with a basic LBD with no embellishments.

I'm totally delighted to have smooth and uncomplicated shopping experience at PreciousYou.in. The best part is that they provide 100% free shipping all over India and accept all payment methods like COD, debit/credit cards and net banking. One can also return/exchange a product by raising a ticket within 24 hours of receiving the order (which I didn't need to because I loved my bag).

I recommend the lovely ladies to shop at PreciousYou.in and fall in love with yourself all over again.

Bring the Wilds of Africa Into Your Wardrobe

Think of a girl's closet staples, and you imagine 'Pink' all over; but that's not convincing for everyone. Just bypass the conventionals and if you think of something that is timeless, I would name a trend that keeps on coming back. Leopard Print is something that is muted yet sassy. I truly love flaunting a magnified exotic print dress with some chunky accessories.
If you too are contesting to look like queen of the jungle, a tastefully chosen leopard dress is timeless fabulousness in your wardrobe. Well, you're in luck here, Zaful has a hot selection of such dresses that will add a fiere dash to your personality. Some of the styles that I like are-

Leopard Print Slip Dress

This mini dress has bowtie shoulder straps and an A-line silhouette. Bring out the versatility of the dress by wearing over a simpe tee or simply as a dressy frock with knee-high boots or flat sandals.

Off Shoulder Flare Sleeve Leopard Belted Dress

The long flare sleeves and an elastic off the shoulder collarline with smocked details add glamour to this dress. Team it up with a matching belt.

Leopard Smocked Off Shoulder Maxi Dress
That's a perfect piece to take a walk on the wild featuring sidestretchy smocked bodice and a flattering off-the-shoulder collarline with a slit detailing at the bottom. 

Leopard Print Surplice Dress

The black tone of the dress is really emphasizing the lighter tones of the traditional leopard print pattern. 

Other than these black, brown, beige shades; the colourful leopard prints certainly doesn't hurt. You may click here to explore a few other options and choose one for the wild child in you ;)

Fancy Hats Options For Fashionable Women

No woman would accept her outfit as complete without complementing it with some accessories. Be it a watch, handbag, belt, footwear or some jewellery item. Each of these take your outfiit to the next level. I personally believe in choosing an accessory that is not just a key to fashion but is equally functional. There are many essentials for me and a hat is one of my favourite accessories that offers elegance and a nice feminine touch to an outfit. 

For the online shopper like me, Dresslily has a stylish assortment of all sort of hats that you might be looking for. Let's have a look at some must-haves -

Beret cap that fits snugly around the head. It's commonly worn pushed to one side. It may be lined or unlined depending on trends. 

Straw hat which are available in foldable format are made of light straw and are best for sun protection.

Beanie cap, a warm choice for cold weather. Usually worn as rolled up the bottom but can give more coverage if rolled down upto neck.

Felt Cloche Hat, the most loved felt hats to give a vintage touch to your look. There is always a regal feel to this style.

Basket Ball Hat, it's a timeless accessory for both men and women to which you can't say No. It's so versatile that you can transform your outfit in jiffy.
