And while I was thinking about what could be the first topic I write upon, the challenges that I faced when I first moved to Japan seemed to be a good starting point.</p><p>I moved to Japan with my husband almost 2 years ago, out of which I wasn't here for the most part of this year. It certainly didn't help that we moved here right before the pandemic hit the world, which though didn't impact our move, but impacted our lives here in many ways - especially since we spent a lot of time indoors and didn't get a chance to travel within Japan a lot. <br /><br />But well, traveling domestically isn't one of the first challenges that you might face if you are new in Japan. Even though Japan is a fascinating country with unmissable tourist attractions and natural beauty, you may across a lot of culture shocks and unpredictable situations that will make settling down in this country a little difficult.<br /><br />While I could spend probably a day talking about the challenges I faced when I first came to Japan, here are five major challenges that I think you might also face when you first move to Japan : </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Language Barrier</b></li></ul><div>When I told my Chinese colleagues at Tiktok that I'll be moving to Tokyo, they had warned me about facing a lot of language issues during my stay here. I had been to China before and I did have a hard time navigating the country without knowing the local language.<br /><br />But about Tokyo I always had this impression that being one of the biggest cosmopolitan cities of the world, it'll definitely have a majority of English-speaking population - well, I was so wrong. </div><div><br />During our first month in Tokyo, we stayed in a hotel suite and roamed only around our hotel in Roppongi which is a popular tourist destination among foreigners. Therefore, we didn't find any difficulty while shopping or going to restaurants as most of these places had one or two English-speaking staff.</div><div><br /></div><div>The main struggle began when we moved to our apartment and started going out & about for leisure, shopping, and daily life activities. Very few supermarkets, cafes, or shops had English-speaking staff, and we mostly had to rely on Google translate to get the job done. That's when I realized that if one has to survive in this city, one needs to understand Japanese at some level.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3EVMTSdNvoQK7AnAI6x6nakcajdUUr-kfQpb1eC0C9SWu7rHm5zomHVC5wjJ3_3qgMm3rOVVoUSsfOW9ffEXnPdCjSXya51zoyfgX-BHDCqxKS6C8RBns2jJ_AUNL8fGOMWqVF71kmXuU/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="559" data-original-width="838" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3EVMTSdNvoQK7AnAI6x6nakcajdUUr-kfQpb1eC0C9SWu7rHm5zomHVC5wjJ3_3qgMm3rOVVoUSsfOW9ffEXnPdCjSXya51zoyfgX-BHDCqxKS6C8RBns2jJ_AUNL8fGOMWqVF71kmXuU/w640-h426/image.png" width="640" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Even though I have been taking Japanese lessons on an on/off basis, I am still not able to have a fluent conversation in the language. However, the good thing is that the locals who can't understand your language would still try to help you out in the best way possible through their broken English, gestures, or using a translation tool. <br /><br />If you are also planning a move to Japan, I strongly recommend learning Japanese through these <a href="https://www.theshopaholic-diaries.com/2020/12/learn-japanese-for-free-with-these-5.html" target="_blank">free language apps</a> and take physical classes once you are here, so that you can overcome this language barrier. Also, always keep Google translate handy whenever you go out shopping or running errands. </div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Tiny living space</b></li></ul></div><div><div>When we moved to Japan, my husband's company was kind enough to connect us immediately with an English-speaking agent who showed us two apartments in the first week of our move and we chose the one without any second thoughts (also because she strongly claimed that we would not find a better apartment than that one).<br /><br />But I was quite surprised about how small the rooms were as compared to the spacious houses and apartments we were used to seeing and staying back in India. </div><div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CEIvAkNHOjt/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

L- living room, D- dining room, K-kitchen). </div><div><br />These apartments can vary in size from as small as 25 sq.m. to upwards of 100 sq.m(which would be crazily priced). But finding an apartment that has modern interiors, is located in an expat-friendly area, and is not exorbitantly priced could be a tough task to achieve. That's not all, the initial fees involved in booking an apartment can actually burn a hole in your pockets as this would typically include Reservation Fee + Deposit + Key Money + Service fee (and not to forget a lot of paperwork).<br /><br /></div><div>Thankfully, there are many real estate agents like KEN Corp, Resident First, etc. that provide English support and can help you find a house that matches your expectations. </div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Opening a bank account</b></li></ul><div>Opening a bank account in Japan not only involved a lot of paperwork but I also found the process to be quite biased. As a foreigner, one is required to submit documents like a resident card, a Japanese health insurance card, and a business card or proof of employment to open an account with any of the major banks in Japan.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXdmgQagqlYp7czBJeN9zUIjIJoFpZx2myM4KUHiAXV_khkkzj4OwmPzOjHeEGqfU8gI360WP8ctseP64X3g-IXLGBGF3NzUFXEJAghSkSYB117TmnVxcADYlZYR3IRJAFlA2uptekqMu/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1161" data-original-width="1600" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXdmgQagqlYp7czBJeN9zUIjIJoFpZx2myM4KUHiAXV_khkkzj4OwmPzOjHeEGqfU8gI360WP8ctseP64X3g-IXLGBGF3NzUFXEJAghSkSYB117TmnVxcADYlZYR3IRJAFlA2uptekqMu/w640-h464/image.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />If this wasn't all, some banks also have a requirement of having completed at least 6 months of stay in Japan before one's application. And since I wasn't working full-time, I had to wait for six months to be finally able to open a bank account with Sony Bank which is one of the few foreigner-friendly banks in Japan. </div><div>This definitely made things very difficult for me as I couldn't carry out any online transactions or sign up for projects that specifically wanted me to have a Japanese bank card within the first six months of my stay.</div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Finding work opportunities</b></li></ul><div>I had decided to leave my full-time job at Tiktok before moving to Japan, and since our move was kinda last-minute (we moved within 3-4 weeks of receiving our visa), I didn't have enough time to look for work opportunities before coming here.<br /><br />What I wasn't prepared for was that finding a job or even part-time work opportunities are going to be really difficult here, especially considering I had zero Japanese language skills. While there are a lot of open positions here for roles such as English teachers and Engineers that don't require Japanese knowledge, most of the other jobs have a major requirement for native/near-native Japanese skills.</div><div><br />Since most of my work experience revolved around Content & Social media, I couldn't apply for any positions as I had no knowledge of the local culture or language. This made my first few months here really difficult as I often felt lost and dejected, and didn't know which step to take ahead in my career.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH4QW8wdhZxzyoT4rPEXqXX7ZejO73WaNkzgSLsG8-Glw-l6MQpeippX2hjnDRp2wRKv9uZZ1I2apJ7vkR_qm0Higqs3bOsmetV4jKuUFRlJxav8RdMRzXTkK8e9rB8oJ7Quqh2SgK7ae/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1501" data-original-width="2048" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH4QW8wdhZxzyoT4rPEXqXX7ZejO73WaNkzgSLsG8-Glw-l6MQpeippX2hjnDRp2wRKv9uZZ1I2apJ7vkR_qm0Higqs3bOsmetV4jKuUFRlJxav8RdMRzXTkK8e9rB8oJ7Quqh2SgK7ae/w640-h470/image.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />When I finally gained some motivation, I decided to pursue freelance writing, and successfully landed writing gigs with websites like <a href="https://www.tokyoweekender.com/author/nitika-bhatia/">Tokyo Weekender</a>, <a href="https://tokyonightowl.com/author/bhatia-nitika/">Tokyo Night Owl</a>, and more. While I am glad that my blogging journey and work experience helped me find these opportunities, I would still recommend that you look for a suitable job or at least research the job market before your move, so you don't feel lost and puzzled once you have moved here. <br /></div></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Making friends</b></li></ul></div><p>Finding friends in a foreign land, where you don't even speak the local language is a daunting task. It took me a long while to get used to the fact that I didn't have my friends or colleagues (who made me feel the most comfortable) around me anymore. <br /><br />Since I felt too shy to approach any locals fearing that I wouldn't be able to communicate with them, I reached out to a few expat groups on Facebook so that I could connect with like-minded people. But I think making friends is easier when you are a child, as once you are a grown-up you need people that share the same vibe and don't disturb your inner peace. <br /><br />It took me about a year to find a few people whom I could trust, but they are definitely the closest people I have in my life now and I am glad I found them along the way. </p><p>So, if you are also facing a tough time making friends in this country, I would say just give it some time - join a club or group of your liking and you'll definitely meet like-minded people sooner or later. </p><p>Till then, make sure you are still in touch with your old friends. After all, if Covid has taught us one thing - it is that distance doesn't matter when it comes to healthy and strong friendships, and how important it is to maintain them.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="giphy-embed" frameborder="0" height="400" src="https://giphy.com/embed/SsIPF2HnLYlQnFGKsZ" width="480"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/Friends-episode-10-friends-tv-the-one-where-rachel-quits-SsIPF2HnLYlQnFGKsZ">via GIPHY</a></p><br />Love,<br />Nitika<p></p>Nitika Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06822269821981128073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239262385282293501.post-3802658878270499592021-08-18T08:14:00.000+05:302022-01-18T08:15:49.848+05:30Innisfree & Estée Lauder Lucky Bag Unboxing | Fukubukuro 2021 | 福袋2021 |...<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/umilLJp9VM0" frameborder="0"></iframe>Nitika Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06822269821981128073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239262385282293501.post-60920884288165067562021-07-14T10:17:00.002+05:302021-07-14T10:24:08.526+05:30 How to dress as if you were a millionaire? | Fashion for Men <p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMBEo-1aTAgMQK2gsXlYfy9YgBtHwTn85zezBzMi7NaYi22xAn_rl8a5vJY312xvcYdsQnQ4gU0YnQ_FiHCIogJK2JwiKHc4voaJinpnlWcQqs-oannr2PC5UMuG93vWDsfRvWrpI7LlJ/s1280/suit-690048_1280.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMBEo-1aTAgMQK2gsXlYfy9YgBtHwTn85zezBzMi7NaYi22xAn_rl8a5vJY312xvcYdsQnQ4gU0YnQ_FiHCIogJK2JwiKHc4voaJinpnlWcQqs-oannr2PC5UMuG93vWDsfRvWrpI7LlJ/w640-h240/suit-690048_1280.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Img Source : <a href="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/03/26/09/40/suit-690048_1280.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pixabay</a> </div><p>Dressing up like a millionaire is not a difficult task. People spend huge amounts trying to look like rich people, but you don’t have to do much. You can stay simple, neat, and clean and carry yourself well. That is how you will also look rich. The millionaires are not only about the brands, expensive clothes, high-end shoes, or <a href="https://friedmans.com/worlds-most-expensive-jewelry/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">expensive jewelry</a>. They are above all these things. They focus on intellect. They focus on how you carry yourself, how healthy you are, and how well-mannered you are. These are some of the basics which will look better and above the rest. The best part is that you don’t have to be a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/8-ways-to-look-like-a-millionaire-even-if-youaposre-not/slidelist/76818042.cms" target="_blank">millionaire to look like one</a>.</p><p>So to dress like a millionaire, you will have to check out the following tips!</p><p>1)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Wear Cufflinks</b></p><p>Whenever you wear a suit, always make sure to wear cufflinks. This settles the very slight difference present between a well-dressed and average-dressed man. Make sure never to wear French cuffs without cufflinks. Also, match the buckle of your belt with the cufflinks to give it a proper finish.</p><p><br /></p><p>2)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Statement Bag</b></p><p>You can invest in a statement bag or a briefcase if you want to make an impression and dress like a millionaire. The briefcase and professional-looking bags give an impression of a working brain behind the operation. The Prada handbags have taken inspiration from these briefcases to give women that professional feel.</p><p><br /></p><p>3)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Bespoke suits</b></p><p>The custom-made suits make you look more like a millionaire, but these custom suits do not have to cost you a kidney. You can very well enjoy the rich look by getting a decent suit for yourself. Do try not to look like a regular business person but a millionaire one. Opt for stores that offer good quality fabric and suits at affordable prices. If you wish to spend huge amounts on a suit, then Steve Cohen is your man!</p><p><br /></p><p>4)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Tidy and Shaved</b></p><p>Keeping yourself tidy and shaved at times is one of the very basic rules. You might have never seen a millionaire with a shabby look or out-grown facial hair. The expert says that the CEOs and millionaires normally have a clean shave or well-groomed facial hair. This gives a neat and clean look. You should also follow this!</p><p><br /></p><p>5)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Smell Good</b></p><p>You can never look like a millionaire if you stink. On the other hand, millionaires are always bound to smell good. By the way, it does make sense that rich people will look and smell good no matter what. You should also use fragrances that are concentrated and last longer. One of the best and long-lasting perfumes is Aventus by Creed. Millionaires often use that!</p><p><br /></p><p>6)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Grey is the new black</b>!</p><p>The millionaires now prefer wearing grey instead of black. Grey is the new black that millionaires love these days. Ensure that it is not a pale or flashy grey; it should be simply attractive and appealing. Also, the waistcoat must match the suit!</p><p><br /></p><p>7)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>The Watch</b></p><p>The best thing you can invest in is the classical watch. This is what you would do for yourself. The millionaires always have a watch in their hand as time matters to them the most. For them, time is money, and they just can’t lose it. You have many options to invest in, such as Breitling, Hublot, Gucci, or Burberry. These brands are highly expensive and they might be difficult to purchase until or unless you have great funds or huge investments, or you might have won an <a href="https://www.lottoland.asia" target="_blank">online lottery at Lottoland</a> and received enough funds to buy an expensive watch. It will surely be an investment for the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>8)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Casual Clothing</b></p><p>Casual clothing will not make you look sloppy at all. The millionaires also wear casual clothes over the weekend or on vacations as nobody would want to wear a suit every day. To look like a millionaire, you can wear casual clothes such as jeans and a polo shirt rather than a tank top and shorts.</p><p><br /></p><p>9)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Groomed Nails</b></p><p>A well-groomed person is one of the basic norms of society. If you wish to look like a millionaire, you must always have well-groomed nails and clean hands and feet. Dirty or long nails always give a bad impression. So you should at times be neat and clean whether you want to be a millionaire or not. It is the basic rule for every single person. </p><p><br /></p><p>10)<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>Sunglasses</b></p><p>A pair of designer sunglasses will be a win-win situation for you. If you want to look like a millionaire, then you must invest in a pair of sunglasses. They make you look rich, and you make a great statement. </p><p><br /></p>Nitika Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06822269821981128073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239262385282293501.post-8802053263538019672021-01-18T07:16:00.000+05:302021-01-18T07:16:31.763+05:30Kate Spade Japan Lucky Bag (Fukubukuro 2021) worth 170,000yen - Unboxing and Review<div>Hello everyone!<br /><br />Hope you're having a great start to 2021. </div><div><br /></div><div>2020 had been a difficult year for many of us, and with moving to a new country, I also took a seemingly long break from the blog as I tried to settle down in this new culture and environment.<br /><br />However, I am hoping that this year would be a lot better and decided to finally start writing again on the blog. While I do have a lot of content to share about my life in Japan and my fashion diaries; I decided to start with this blog where I am going to talk about one of my recent purchases which also happens to be a popular New Year tradition in Japan.<br /><br />I am talking about 'Fukubukuro' or lucky bags that are available in the first week of January every year in Japan. Lucky bags are surprise bags that are offered by many supermarkets, brands, and department stores in Japan and consist of mostly last-season goods at amazing discounts.<br /><br />I talk more about lucky bags and how this tradition started in my post for Tokyo Weekender that you can check <a href="https://www.tokyoweekender.com/2020/12/fukubukuro-lucky-bag-surprise-2020-2021/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />So, this year I purchased three lucky bags - the first being from the designer brand <b>Kate Spade. </b><br /><br />Here are some pictures, an unboxing video, and more details about the Kate Spade lucky bag 2021 :</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/G1-kX0etm7s" width="480"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1-kX0etm7s" target="_blank">Kate Spade Lucky Bag unboxing video on my Youtube channel</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>Kate Spade had launched this lucky bag on their website in December in five versions, but they didn't disclose the contents of each bag. The only detail that I knew about the lucky bag was that it will have 5 items in total comprising handbags, wallets, and/or accessories. Each lucky bag was priced at 30,000 yen plus taxes and each customer could only purchase one lucky bag at a time.</div><div><br />The lucky bags were finally shipped on the 31st of December and I finally received mine a few days back. <br />Here are the contents of the lucky bag that I purchased :</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh-tTMqFl9_E2djNZZv0ns4cKxlmCJOGIHpaCjkg6CWktxHr8GWRFzwUFH0uQjbHboVdPlG26DZq2p9nZVHXHQ8E-9iDAj0_T1KXtwdCoKfG7uhoEGq4GY28pMEyvfBfcqjg0_8h3XojoD/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh-tTMqFl9_E2djNZZv0ns4cKxlmCJOGIHpaCjkg6CWktxHr8GWRFzwUFH0uQjbHboVdPlG26DZq2p9nZVHXHQ8E-9iDAj0_T1KXtwdCoKfG7uhoEGq4GY28pMEyvfBfcqjg0_8h3XojoD/w640-h512/Untitled+design+%25281%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>1. Crossbody Bag: </b>A cute red crossbody bag that has one external pocket and one internal pocket with a small interior that can fit a wallet, keys, and phone. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>2. Satchel Bag:</b> A black structured satchel bag that comes with an additional long strap and can be carried in two ways. The interior is quite roomy and can even fit an iPad or a small laptop with ease.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>3. Canvas Tote Bag: </b>A canvas bag with leather handles that can be styled in two shapes and also comes with an additional long strap. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>4. Cosmetic Pouch:</b> A transparent small pouch that can mostly carry a few lipsticks or can actually be used as a case to store your mask. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>5. Bracelet: </b>A leather bracelet in a lovely olive green shade that has the cute Kate Spade logo charm lock.<b> </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6JBE3H_n_veXaz4ewYZfh3S-rKo3zoZmGX3mJe9Rw6Xos5Fi8rvVeTcCMC88FAN6yblCXRk1YLtBBPJZovZmneL9KlaRvMjaNernnWSf7eYe-rf4LrNOkrkaUGjTx2B21kpXNu6f2P4e/s2048/IMG_5773.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6JBE3H_n_veXaz4ewYZfh3S-rKo3zoZmGX3mJe9Rw6Xos5Fi8rvVeTcCMC88FAN6yblCXRk1YLtBBPJZovZmneL9KlaRvMjaNernnWSf7eYe-rf4LrNOkrkaUGjTx2B21kpXNu6f2P4e/w480-h640/IMG_5773.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b><br />While the items didn't have their original tags present, they did come with the original dust covers (except for the crossbody bag) and care tags. I was pleased to find the bags in amazing condition and excellent quality, as I had often heard that the brands tend to give away old or unwanted stock in these lucky bags. But the contents I received were in perfect condition, and a couple of bags are from the latest collection and are still being sold on their website. </div><div><br /></div><div>As per the brand, the overall cost of the lucky bag is 170,000 yen which seems legit since the satchel bag alone comes up to be around 60-70k yen. The only item from the lucky bag with which I wasn't very satisfied is the green tote bag as that's a color I usually don't prefer in my closet.<br /><br />However, I think this was a great way to pick some new bags from the brand without having to spend a huge amount. And since you can't see the contents of the lucky bag beforehand, it's actually fun to try your luck and wait to see if you've grabbed some nice items.<br /><br />What do you think about this new year trend? Did you also purchase a Lucky bag this new year?<br />Let me know in the comments below!<br /><br />Love<br />Nitika</div>Nitika Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06822269821981128073noreply@blogger.com0Tokyo, Japan35.6761919 139.65031067.3659580638211537 104.49406060000001 63.986425736178845 174.8065606tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239262385282293501.post-86167133933935705902020-12-10T11:34:00.010+05:302020-12-30T16:46:39.868+05:30Learn Japanese for FREE with these 5 language apps | Life in Japan<p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBENj1Dej4BQAZmhdIKgqtOiFdkd5fWiHGDPSKnjexTApF2UJ4UcWmb3GFDf_yBVav1QJA_FLquc5y0-wjLbbLRK96vIPonjOtYwyAmTXzQq1azXCMujhWyWjwmZHB_uZ6jQWpD0yuQU8U/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBENj1Dej4BQAZmhdIKgqtOiFdkd5fWiHGDPSKnjexTApF2UJ4UcWmb3GFDf_yBVav1QJA_FLquc5y0-wjLbbLRK96vIPonjOtYwyAmTXzQq1azXCMujhWyWjwmZHB_uZ6jQWpD0yuQU8U/w640-h429/image.png" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://tokyonightowl.com/learn-japanese-for-free-with-these-5-language-apps/" target="_blank"> Check out my latest post on to know about five Free resources to master Japanese language.

Hello everyone!<br />
If this post has reached you, then I am really grateful that I still have a few of you who enjoy reading blog posts. I know it's been quite some time since I last published a post here, to be precise - six months.<br />
<br />
A lot has changed in mine, in-fact even in our lives since then (well thanks to COVID), so as I took = my own sweet time to get settled into the new phase of life, I realised it was finally time to let you all know what I've been upto since my last post.<br />
<br />
Well, to rewind - you all know I got married back in 2018, and had been living in Mumbai with my husband. I had also started working with Tiktok and I was really enjoying my work and life there. But, as I thought that I was finally in the best phase of my life, we had a major life decision to make - "to move abroad".<br />
<br />
My husband got an amazing work opportunity back in December last year, and I had to make this decision - get ready to start our lives together in a big new city, or I stay back in Mumbai, probably move to a smaller apartment and wait a few months, find another work opportunity and then join my husband.<br />
<br />
But well, we had less than a month to decide, and honestly I was going through so many emotions and thoughts - what if I don't get my visa later and I am unable to join my husband ; what if I don't enjoy living in Mumbai and feel miserable about my decision. I discussed it with my hubby, friends and family, and eventually I decided the right thing to do at the moment was to move abroad.<br />
<br />
So, here I am, writing this post from my new home in Tokyo, where I moved back in February. Those who follow me on Instagram, might have seen my updates about looking for a house, moving in finally and well ofcourse what I have been doing to keep myself busy since we are all maintaining social distancing.<br />

I have been mostly keeping myself busy by doing home workouts and most days I just go out for a ride on my bicycle near my apartment building as it has a lovely stream passing by which makes for a perfect route for a jog or bike rides.<br />

I was lucky enough to have experienced my first sakura season in Japan, which is literally the best time to be in Japan. Usually people enjoy sakura season by having <i>Hanami, </i>which is basically a picnic event to enjoy the blossoms. But since the entire nation is currently in the state of emergency, we decided to skip it for this year and just enjoyed walks around the sakura trees near our house and also visited the famous Meguro river to experience the stunning cherry blossoms.<br />

However, even with the dozens of 💄 I have, I end up using only a few outta them most of the times. 💁♀️ So today, I thought about sharing my five favorite and most-used lipsticks: 🔅🔅Faux by @maccosmetics - my go-to lipstick in a beautiful mauvish pink shade. 🔅🔅Chili by @maccosmetics - a warm-toned red that’s perfect for every day wear. 🔅🔅001 Sin by @lovecolorbar - I purely love this formula - it’s not drying, not sticky but works beautifully on the lips. 🔅🔅014 Dolce Vita by @diormakeup - a stunning red lipstick that I wear for all dressy occasions. 🔅🔅31 Cambon by @chanel.beauty - a pinkish red that’s highly pigmented and moisturising. Have you tried any of these lipsticks as well? Let me know your favorite lipstick in comments below! 💕💕 - #lipsticklove #lipstickaddict #chanelbeauty #diormakeup #maclipstick #theshopaholicdiaries #instalove #makeuplove #quarantinemood</a></div>

Apart from going on with my daily life here, I have tried to adjust to the new routine - which is basically being at home all the time - by indulging in cooking, reading, self care and well Netflix. I am avoiding going out at the moment, except for grocery shopping and my bike rides while maintaining social distancing.<br />
<br />
I can't tell you guys how many times I opened my laptop to publish new content or share my pictures from Tokyo with you all, but I just never got around to finishing the posts. It's only because I have been struggling to this new life, where even though I am in a beautiful city - I feel like I don't belong here, since I don't know the local language, don't know anyone around and also I miss my old life.<br />
<br />

So, if you're also struggling with your life at the moment, or you have had setbacks - trust me, you are not alone in this. Everyone goes through tough times in their lives, but definitely you can come out way stronger and better. And that's why I finally gathered some strength to write this blog post and share with you all about my life and that even thought this might not be my time, I know that things will start shaping up soon and I have realised the best way to feel better is to pen down my thoughts, like I used to do earlier.<br />
<br />
You can follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/theshopaholicdiaries">Instagram</a>, where I am definitely more active than on the blog, but I promise I have a lot of content planned up for the blog and I can't wait to share the same with you all.<br />
<br />
Love<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When it comes to our health , we've often asked ourselves 'Am I healthy?' to 'How healthy am I?'—this shift in attitude has been spurred by the ease of health check-ups and medical tests that one no longer needs a doctor's appointment to carry out. Thanks to modern technology, everything from our blood to hair strand can be swabbed from home and sent off for detailed analysis to a <a href="https://www.srlworld.com/">pathology lab</a>.</div>
<br />
And its really essential to get regular screening tests as they can catch a health condition even before it starts showing symptoms, helping you take preventive measures. These check-ups could be quarterly, twice a year or yearly. This becomes even more important if you have a lifestyle which makes you prone to health risks.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One lab that has made health checkups easier and simpler is <b>SRL Diagnostics Lab</b> - that is present across major cities in India and is one of the most preferred labs by medical experts.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
As part of my regular health check-up, I recently had the chance to visit SRL Lab in Goregaon, Mumbai and review their services first-hand.<br />
<br />

However, I decided to visit the lab as I also wanted to experience their lab facilities, which definitely didn't leave me disappointed.<br />
<br />
Their Goregaon lab is super specialised with a smooth and structured process right from entering the lab to getting your test reports. I have also shared a brief <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ByrUWTJnuwe/" target="_blank">lab tour</a> on my Instagram page which will give you an idea about their high quality standards and efficiency.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
With SRL, your regular health-checkup will also feel like a “wonderful” experience, as you can not only get specific medical tests done but can also choose from their various <a href="https://www.srlworld.com/srlcare" target="_blank">full body checkup</a> that have been customised to suit different health needs and lifestyles.<br />

I decided to go for their <a href="https://www.srlworld.com/srlcare/fitness-care/weight-control-female" target="_blank">Fitness Care</a> - Weight Control package that helped me analyse my overall health as well as any underlying reasons for weight gain through a series of 74 tests that cover general health, diabetes, thyroid, inflammation and various other tests.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was surprised to know that I could all get these tests covered in just Rs 3,599 which is less than half of what one might have to pay if these tests are done individually.</div>

But the best part definitely is that you can also get the tests reports online, if you want to save yourself the hassle of visiting the lab again.</div>

After seeing my reports and discussing with my family doctor, I felt quite relieved that I am not suffering from any ailments and all my major health reports were normal. I am glad that I chose SRL Diagnostics as mine and my family's healthcare partner. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
A healthy mind and body are something that a lot of us often take for granted. All it would take is just a little attention on our part to have a healthy body and lifestyle. Therefore, I would totally recommend that you should also opt for a health check-up on regular basis with SRL Diagnostics to evaluate your overall well being and to help identify any ailments or issues in their nascent stage making their treatment far more easier.</div>

Hey lovelies!<br />
<br />
Spring is my favourite time of the year. After being bundled up all winter in monochrome styles and layers of clothing, spring allows me to embrace the amazing weather with flowy silhouettes, bright colors and feminine prints.<br />
<br />
It's the start of summer already, so I thought its the perfect time to do a recap to my favourite Spring looks of 2019. Below are three of my favourite looks of last season (that some of you might have seen already on my Instagram account) - so browse through if you are also2 on a hunt for statement wardrobe pieces this year : <br />

<br />
I have these culottes in my wardrobe since sometime now but I have finally found a confidence to style them in many different ways. And I loved how it looked with this chic off-shoulder top that was actually a part of a co-ords set.<br />
I plan to wear these culottes all around the summer, paired with different tees, as these are one of the most comfortable pants in my wardrobe.<br />

Floral prints and spring are made for each other, and when mixed with a feminine silhouette - it makes for a perfect statement making outfit, just like this wrap-around dress from Shein. The bright and bold floral print makes the dress more chic and perfect for a romantic day out or a brunch with your BFFs.<br />

Skirts have always been my first love, and I never miss a chance to buy a trendy skirt and when I saw this season's hottest trend - a brown suede skirt - I knew I had to have it in my wardrobe.<br />
While a skirt like this might look difficult to pull off at first, there are many cute ways to style this skirt all around the year.<br />
<br />
While I paired my skirt with a striped tee, you can also pair it with a sequinned blouse or a denim shirt for a trendy look.<br />

Hey lovelies!<br />
<br />
First Holi after marriage is always special. Last year when I got married in March, I missed the Holi celebrations as I was busy gearing up for Mehendi which was just a day after Holi. And that's why I had spent this colourful festival traveling from Ludhiana to Delhi for my wedding functions.<br />
<br />
And this year again, when its supposed to be my first Holi as a married woman (and you all know how special are the First festivals after marriage for every Indian girl, thanks to our rich culture and traditions) - my husband is actually traveling and we would not be able to celebrate Holi together.<br />
<br />
But you know what, my favourite milk brand <b>Mother Dairy</b> just gave me the best idea to celebrate my first Holi with my husband and that too in an eco-friendly way. That's <b>#InstaPichkari</b> 😍😍<br />
<br />
Wondering what am I talking about?<br />
<br />
Well, this Holi you can simply put colour on your loved ones who always find one or other excuse to avoid playing Holi, by putting colors on their picture through your phone and sharing that Holi Waali Picture with them.<br />

Also, don't forget to make a special 'Thandai' for your loved ones to add on to the celebrations and to make the good times last longer on this festive day. If you are wondering what is 'thandai' - it's a very popular festival drink made using milk, saffron, cardamom and various other ingredients as per taste.<br />

If you want to double the celebations, also prepare yummy Gujiya using the <b>Mother Dairy</b> Buffalo ghee, flour, sugar and other ingredients. (Click <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BvJv2aClb9m/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> for the recipe)<br />
<br />
And if still someone makes an excuse to not play Holi with you, tell them in style that 'Milk peene aur Holi khelne ki koi umar ni hoti 😁'<br />
<br />
Don't forget to share your #InstaPichkari pictures on Instagram and tag @motherdairy in your post!<br />
Have a joyous and colourful Holi<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

I know this post is a little too late, but I have been traveling and not keeping well since last couple of weeks. But well, its never too late to write and I finally got my groove back and decided to start the first post of the year by looking back at the highlights of 2018.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
2018 was an year of new beginnings for me as I had my roka ceremony on 30th December of previous year and within a couple of weeks, the wedding date was fixed for March. While I had some other plans for 2018, I didn't know that everything was about to change for me.<br />
<br />
The first quarter of 2018 kept me busy with wedding shopping, planning, quitting my 9to5 job (I was working with Alibaba Group) and preparing for my big move to Mumbai - a city I had never stayed in before for more than a few days.<br />
<br />
Here's a glimpse to my wedding functions (you can read my complete wedding series <a href="https://www.theshopaholic-diaries.com/search/label/TSD%20Bridal%20Diary?max-results=6">here</a>)<br />

I moved to Mumbai in the middle of March, and the second of quarter of 2018 passed by settling in the new city and experiencing the married life. These few months were definitely the hardest as well, as I had never taken a break from work and here I was, having left my full time job, trying to settle into the life of a freelancer while still getting to know my husband (as we had a very brief courtship period) and managing a household all alone for two.</div>

While earlier I always thought about pampering myself, now I had to think about my life partner and my new family as well. I focused these few months on writing and stayed off from any major campaigns as well. Also, I spent my time exploring Mumbai and getting familiar with this city that I never thought would be my home.</div>

The third quarter of 2018 has to be my favourite, not only I traveled to Mauritius and explored many other cities that I had never visited before. I was also getting back on the work front and I loved having a routine - planning a content calendar for the blog, going out for shoots and seeing my social media channels grow really boosted my confidence.<br />

I was also started gymming and seeing the positive results really made me more determined to focus on my health more in the coming months.<br />
<br />
However, the last quarter of 2018 wasn't that good for me health wise, as I had a major foot injury while I was on a family trip to Ranthambore and I spent the last two months basically indoors and it really made me feel low - as I couldn't work out, plan more outfit shoots or basically go about my daily life due to my injury.<br />
<br />
There were definitely some good moments too - like my trip to Ranthambore and Mahabaleshwar, first Diwali with my new family, my birthday celebrations with friends and family; and definitely my award for the Most Influential Content Marketing Professional that was awarded by CMO Asia.<br />

<br />Overall, if I look back at 2018, while I did have a few accomplishments and new beginnings, I didn’t spend as much time writing as I’d have liked to. While I could blame this on a lot of things but simply put I didn’t put enough time aside to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />Come new year and I am on the road to recovery now and already feeling a lot better and determined to make 2019 better and bigger.<br />
<br />
This year I have decided to be more organised and divide my time equally in building content for the blog as well for my social media channels, as I have come to understand that while I love doing shoots and preparing visual content for <a href="http://www.instagram.com/theshopaholicdiaries">Instagram</a>, writing on the blog gives me more creative satisfaction.<br />
<br />
So, I have a lot content ideas that I will be putting in action soon while also planning to start my Youtube channel that I have been thinking about since a long time.<br />
<br />
Apart from work, as foot injury is healing - I plan to get back to my workout routine and fitness would be one of my main goals this year.<br />
<br />
Before I end this blog post, I would love to know which posts did you enjoy reading on my blog over the past year? What would you like to see more of in 2019? Don't forget to leave your views in the Comments below!</div>

<span lang="EN-IN">Hey everyone!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN">Dating in the present times can truly be a
pain for men and women alike. If you are wondering why I am talking about
dating when I am married now, well, it’s because before I found my Mr. Perfect
– I have had a fair share of experience with few dating apps as well as saw my
close friends cribbing about the lack of a decent dating app that has genuine
like-minded profiles, is unlike the other hookup-crazed swiping apps or isn’t
filled with people desperately seeking marriage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

complete profiles and communicate with other members for free. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

by adding few pictures; one has to share their story through really insightful
questions that bring out your persona even if your bio/picture doesn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Hey lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This post was lying in my drafts since my Mauritius vacation, but travel and work kept me busy. However, as I keep getting a lot of queries about what to pack for a beach vacation - I decided to go ahead and share this list of essentials that would help you make most of your next beach holiday. </div>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Swimwear</b> - This one tops the list beyond a doubt, a good swimsuit can make your vacation peaceful and those Instagram clicks perfect. Take your pick from comfy one-piece or bikinis with a bra top from brands like Marks & Spencer and H&M.</li>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Sunscreen</b> : Don't underestimate the power of a good sunscreen that will not only protect from sun burn but also give you a lovely glow. Carry a sunscreen from Biotique, Neutrogena or Lotus Herbals with SPF 50+ for your body and one for your face as the skin is much delicate than other body parts.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Sunglasses : </b>Undoubtedly you would need more than a pair of sunnies to protect your eyes from harsh sun but to also match with your various holiday outfits. Try Aldo, Forever 21 or Accessorize for season's hottest shades.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cover-Up : </b>At times you want to hit the bar straight after a swim, or have a meal by the pool - a versatile cover-up can allow you to quickly<b> </b>get ready without going for a change and looks super stylish too.</li>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Tops : </b>Not only they allow you to mix and match, but also tops are super travel friendly. Take your pick from various styles like cold-shoulder, off-shoulder, front knot tops or graphic tees that go well with all your bottom wear.</li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It feels like I haven't written a blog post in ages, which is also true as last month I was in Delhi for two weeks and also visited my hometown Ludhiana. Overall, it was a busy month with a lot of catching up with family and friends, but also I managed to have a few shoots for my Summer lookbook.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And in today's post, I am covering one of my favourite outfits from the summer that features a beautiful sequinned skirt from ZARA that had been lying in my closet since a long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN7CbQCk0TFkI3-8MvFfj5594iDRe4IRy51loPvTNIXPI5VjzhudWU7awt6KFJUitggxoCR6bCiwbzA_lWW7t-FtAXjoE0gwEMrN-Luhjh5rcpXJpliKoHkizUmNvX1tMnex1ER7TJ-_4Z/s1600/TPP_5062.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1047" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN7CbQCk0TFkI3-8MvFfj5594iDRe4IRy51loPvTNIXPI5VjzhudWU7awt6KFJUitggxoCR6bCiwbzA_lWW7t-FtAXjoE0gwEMrN-Luhjh5rcpXJpliKoHkizUmNvX1tMnex1ER7TJ-_4Z/s640/TPP_5062.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I picked this skirt last season from ZARA, but whenever I thought of wearing it - I kept it back in the closet thinking its way too loud for the day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But as I had a spa party to host during my time in Delhi last month, I couldn't think of anything else than this skirt that's flowy, comfy yet dressy for the event.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To break the monotony of the skirt, I styled it with a boat-neck top from Cover Story and completed the look with the classic monochrome pumps from ZARA. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUuQ2ncoPg1HIpSirHh6E8ZlI0gbbmclrjNv2M8JjH5vLb04nPOIlm9-bsI4bXQbT_aDT6LTWGZ6tHmiG41EWvztXB3cEKKDSHylsG4GTYGPlL1EPQOg_5Av8Q9LntTe_rm_nKl9UQ6Lx8/s1600/TPP_49791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1049" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUuQ2ncoPg1HIpSirHh6E8ZlI0gbbmclrjNv2M8JjH5vLb04nPOIlm9-bsI4bXQbT_aDT6LTWGZ6tHmiG41EWvztXB3cEKKDSHylsG4GTYGPlL1EPQOg_5Av8Q9LntTe_rm_nKl9UQ6Lx8/s640/TPP_49791.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These statement making earrings from ZARA gave a complete party vibe to the outfit while the Aldo clutch is small but spacious to keep my phone and cards secure.</div>

A sequinned skirt like this or even a pencil sequin dress is perfect for evening parties and events this festive season. The best part is that it can be dressed up or down in many ways like with a turtle-neck knit for a city-chic look, or with a graphic tee to add an instant edge to your outfit while making it perfect for a brunch with friends.</div>

Hey lovelies!<br />
<br />
I can't believe more than half an year has passed and we are in August already. I mean it just feels like yesterday when I was juggling between my 9 to 6 corporate job (that I quit back in February) and my blog. While managing two professions kept me on my toes always, there were some amazing perks as well, like getting ready to attend an event straight after work - which made me experiment a lot with my style that I made sure was apt from work to play.<br />
<br />
And that's why when I picked these amazing palazzos recently from Cover Story, I knew they were perfect for a lot for work-to-play looks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Getting this look together made me miss my corporate life days, when often a lot of my colleagues used to ask me how come I look party ready in a jiffy after a boring Monday. I used to carry a spare top or accessories along to make my outfit apt for the next event or party I was headed to after work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I styled my navy blue palazzos with a chic H&M top that features little hearts and frilly sleeves that are totally cute and trendy. I paired my outfit with these stunning embroidered heels I picked online from Myntra recently and completed the look with my versatile Speedy 30 handbag.</div>

Here are a few tips if you also want to nail the Perfect 9 to Late look every time you have those after-work plans that leave you no time to go home and change : </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Invest in key wardrobe separates like these comfy yet stylish palazzo points that are work-appropriate but can also be styled with a dressy top for an evening party.</li>
<li>Accessorize! A statement accessory like my H&M earrings can take your outfit from formal to dressy in a jiffy. </li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did an outfit post sometime back featuring my Gucci tote and I received a lot of queries about the quality of the bag, where to find an authentic luxury bag and more - that made me write this blog post which can be your quick refer-to guide before you make you big splurge.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-St1zA7XLOvAc9bGKPjGOxARwlIsZgU6FVlLrT4ljNg_nyixgofddyejdTHzyT0ISXLaeFif9X-iU89Ku_T2ScE0yzchSAb7huZyF_nI1wci5xn85dfmmtMVvinoHmmIYZ48HkKdBvSmR/s1600/DSC_4627.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1168" data-original-width="1600" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-St1zA7XLOvAc9bGKPjGOxARwlIsZgU6FVlLrT4ljNg_nyixgofddyejdTHzyT0ISXLaeFif9X-iU89Ku_T2ScE0yzchSAb7huZyF_nI1wci5xn85dfmmtMVvinoHmmIYZ48HkKdBvSmR/s640/DSC_4627.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Planning your first luxury purchase could be an unnerving experience, especially if you have dreamt about it since long and you have decided to use a major chunk of your savings. While you may have set your heart on a particular bag already and are looking forward to buy it soon, there are a few things that may help you make a smart decision as this bag could easily become one of the key pieces in your wardrobe.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>Set a Realistic Budget</b></u></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may have seen a lot of designer handbags on your Instagram feed and being flaunted by your favourite celebrities, and would be thinking that you would have to shell thousands of dollars for that it-bag. But, you don't necessarily have to spend a bomb, especially for your first bag.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPfGekdGnWevOf9b7nGrq4D1Qfx-huMGb7Qb48AVRBBj50N-VSn7oUAhHfTCVpcoOkeF4g9EqGGBqaWub8brHgIDQZLcEFArxo1CFbCyZ6iqgFfRsqYYPrFf3Lx_7nVNi5MIrmAP-45fVa/s1600/Prada-Cahier-Bag-Trend.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="1024" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPfGekdGnWevOf9b7nGrq4D1Qfx-huMGb7Qb48AVRBBj50N-VSn7oUAhHfTCVpcoOkeF4g9EqGGBqaWub8brHgIDQZLcEFArxo1CFbCyZ6iqgFfRsqYYPrFf3Lx_7nVNi5MIrmAP-45fVa/s640/Prada-Cahier-Bag-Trend.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had first planned to buy a luxury bag a couple of years back but I knew it will take up my entire salary for three months - so I ended up deciding it wasn't a wise decision. An year later, when I was consistently earning well from my blog and my corporate job - I decided to set aside my earnings for my IT-bag. However, I still didn't want to go overboard with the budget, so after a lot of planning and research online, I decided to spend roughly 1600 dollars for a mid-size bag that will be perfect for work to play and was also realistic considering my earnings.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's why I suggest that you go for a <u>realistic budget</u> that will be easily manageable considering your earnings, without making you compromise on your lifestyle and general expenditure. You shouldn't be maxing our your credit limit or savings just to buy the IT-bag of the season - as you may end up regretting rather than enjoying your new luxury bag.</div>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>Get to know the Styles</b></u></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once I started exploring bags that I wanted to purchase, I was pleasantly surprised to see that even a particular style from a designer label comes in various sizes, colours, patterns etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had decided to buy the iconic bag from Louis Vuitton - Speedy - which came in four sizes - 25, 30, 35 and 40 and in different materials - Damier Azur canvas, Monogram canvas and Damier Ebene canvas. After visiting the Louis Vuitton boutique at DLF Emporio and checking out all the styles - I had fallen in love with the <u>Speedy 30</u> in Damier Ebene that looked versatile and smart.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Louis Vuitton Speedy 30</td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, before visiting the boutique I had done little research online about the styles that I preferred so that I don't get overwhelmed seeing the endless options in the store that could confuse me more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I would recommend checking out <i>The PurseBlog</i> which has a lot of information on different handbags from popular luxury labels like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel and more. You can go through the various options available, make a list of a few styles that you would want to check out personally based on your requirements like - usage, occasion, color etc.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>Compare the Price & Functionality</b></u></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, this is a key point to consider, especially if it's going to be your first luxury handbag and you would be looking forward to use a lot often. While there are many trendy options that come every season, the classics are better priced, never go out of style and are more suitable for all lifestyles.</div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8p_n2jXwSz5m1zRxJz9mAK_xgOCXrxevK1axc2kKIqZyXK7S1F5CMBOy_tUpPeilT2yrVKvz-4OrvFi9uXaYMsFTnmrnP4BHSq20w93RkkkdTvnwx-Xfd-EqNOQd4OM4a8hURdKQTxii/s1600/Lady-Dior-770x433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="770" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8p_n2jXwSz5m1zRxJz9mAK_xgOCXrxevK1axc2kKIqZyXK7S1F5CMBOy_tUpPeilT2yrVKvz-4OrvFi9uXaYMsFTnmrnP4BHSq20w93RkkkdTvnwx-Xfd-EqNOQd4OM4a8hURdKQTxii/s640/Lady-Dior-770x433.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Therefore, while a trending Dior saddle bag might look really Instagram-worthy at the moment, in the long run it might not prove to be really functional or versatile as compared to its hefty price. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I would suggest that you check out styles that are not only easy-to-style, but are also more functional with options like a detachable sling, separate compartments for mobile or tablet, zippers etc. that would help you make most of your handbag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Like for my first bag, I really wanted a mid-size bag that is roomy enough for my every day essentials - but also I don't have to think a lot about pairing it with any outfit. But for my second bag, which is a <u>Gucci pebbled leather tote</u> - I experimented a little with the color and went ahead for a bigger size as I really wanted a bag that can fit my laptop easily, especially for work meetings and shoot days when I have to carry a lot many things with me.</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><u><b>Go to the authorised Brand Boutique</b></u></li>
</ul>
<div>
This is a really important point to consider, especially since this bag is going to be your big investment. A lot of people ask me about the authenticity of the deals available online on various websites that claim to source directly from the designer labels and sell at unbelievable prices.<br />
I only say one thing to them - why would a designer label, which apparently never goes on Sale - would offer their goods at one-third of their original price?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOhnGgoqzmjEJo6Mj7nGqW7eF8Y9sYO9WnAtzLDjVOGrn-o1_Pnw7E_O-vbcNMjOC3o9sIXCCO3oFKT98EC8TcBbeeyT2PZc_suuqSJ1sF-LAkkJSJncUcB8wUObRouJMrr_r1pwqCLQO/s1600/the-difference-between-a-celine-luggage-tote-and-a-phantom-tote-1873.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="659" data-original-width="1000" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOhnGgoqzmjEJo6Mj7nGqW7eF8Y9sYO9WnAtzLDjVOGrn-o1_Pnw7E_O-vbcNMjOC3o9sIXCCO3oFKT98EC8TcBbeeyT2PZc_suuqSJ1sF-LAkkJSJncUcB8wUObRouJMrr_r1pwqCLQO/s640/the-difference-between-a-celine-luggage-tote-and-a-phantom-tote-1873.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Yes, many labels like Michael Kors and COACH have end of season sales on their merchandise, but luxury labels like Louis Vuitton and Prada almost never go on sale. And if someone is claiming to have their products on Sale, I would suggest that you ask for the authenticity card or check directly by calling at the Brand boutique.<br />
<br />
Also, the feeling of buying your designer handbag directly from the store is totally magical. So, to save yourself from disappointment later, visit an authorised Brand boutique to check out their styles in person, feel the quality and make your final purchase. </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><u><b>Versatility is the key</b></u></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming to the last point of this article, what's the fun of spending thousand of dollars on a bag that you can only style with one or two outfits in your wardrobe; or you can only carry to certain events?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's always a good idea to purchase a more versatile and neutral bag as your first luxury handbag, rather than a trending number like one with too many embroidered patches or quirky elements - that might give it a unique appeal, but might go out of trend soon. Also, consider picking neutrals that will go well with most of your wardrobe items.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really hope you all find this post helpful in selecting your first luxury bag and hope it turns out to be an investment that you fall in love with, as I have with my two luxury babies. </div>

Hey lovelies!<br />
Haven't we all gone through days, when we pick a trendy outfit from our favourite store, and get dressed one fine day in it and step out in style, only to be pointed out by someone - hey! Don't you think this outfit doesn't suit your body type???<br />
<br />
Well, believe me or not - not only me but a lot of my skinny friends have also faced criticism on their outfit choices and it really baffles me. Why can't we appreciate our fellow women? Why do we have to really judge their outfit choices?<br />
<br />
So, that's why I started the <a href="https://www.theshopaholic-diaries.com/search/label/curvy%20style%20guide?max-results=6" target="_blank">Curvy Style Guide</a> series on my blog a few years back to share certain trends and styles that usually people advise curvy divas to 'not to wear'. But I think if you pick your outfits carefully, there's no trend that you can't flaunt with confidence.<br />
<br />
In today's post, I am sharing one such trend - <i>front-zip skirt</i> - that even though considered to be too risqué, is a great pick to flaunt your curves. I picked this trendy skirt from ZARA which features an exposed front zipper and a striped waistband.<br />

The best part about this skirt is that it can be styled from work to party easily, with just the change of a top and accessories. I styled my zip-up skirt for a party look, paired with a white bare shoulder top from Forever New and ankle strap wedges from Nine West. Completing my party look beautifully was this trendy sling bag from Michael Kors - which is my go-to bag these days for parties and dinner dates.<br />

The key to styling a front-zip skirt is to pick a style which is fun but not too flashy, and don't go overboard with too many zippers. While wearing a similar skirt, make sure you are not wearing any other exposed zippers - or you will end up looking trashy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Zippers can help contour your body, so go for a style that connects at the centre (like mine) as it will make you appear thinner.<br />
<br />
You'll also find skirts which have zipper pull tabs on both ends, so you can wear it multiple ways by going for a custom split as per your mood or the occasion.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you all have gone through my posts from my Mauritius vacation, then you are going to love this post - as I am sharing in detail my stay experience at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette. It was my first vacation abroad with my husband, so we were looking for a property which not only had the best amenities but also a picturesque view - as Mauritius is all about its beautiful beaches and lagoons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So while we were making our bookings, we came across this lagoon-facing resort by Radisson Blu located in Poste Lafayette, about an hour drive from the airport. They also have another family resort in Azuri village which is equally beautiful, but we picked Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette for its picturesque location and as it was an intimate, adult-only space (not that I don't like kids, but we wanted a relaxing holiday without having to be around kids who are running wild and driving everyone crazy)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of this and more the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette was able to deliver. Check out my detailed hotel review below :</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>Location</b></u> - </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reaching the resort isn't very difficult, as you can easily take a taxi from the airport and reach the resort - while enjoying the amazing view enroute that definitely didn't make us regret an hour long drive. The resort is located right off of the main coastal road in Poste Lafayette, a quiet village in northeastern Mauritius and provides an easy access to almost all the tourist spots on this small island. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI6pusMVxungGrvXRc9PQknIP9CR8n6eLRz8VT3QfdkIYxlM8k0eA8Yaqp9jsu4oBkm_f74GX5JMBt5r15p2j3HWjQyNvs9nti-o0Q_UGGhUqZVeiwKTrHEZ1DnNnfpGe81Pmmb5eRZaxI/s1600/DSC_0161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1600" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI6pusMVxungGrvXRc9PQknIP9CR8n6eLRz8VT3QfdkIYxlM8k0eA8Yaqp9jsu4oBkm_f74GX5JMBt5r15p2j3HWjQyNvs9nti-o0Q_UGGhUqZVeiwKTrHEZ1DnNnfpGe81Pmmb5eRZaxI/s640/DSC_0161.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While you get a private beach to relax and soak the sun at the resort, the public beaches are also just a few minutes away from the property.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The resort is also closer to its sister property - the Radisson Blu Azuri which is only a 10 minutes drive from here - and the best part is that you get a free access to the pool, restaurants and beach activities at the Azuri property as well during your stay here - you just have to inform the hotel staff a day in advance and you will get a shuttle to take you to the family resort which has a bigger lagoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>Rooms</b></u> - </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we had made our bookings through a travel portal, our package included a superior room; but we got an upgrade to a spacious, beautifully done ocean view room which was exactly what I wanted for a romantic holiday. The rooms were spacious and had a modern design featuring a pristine white-and-blue theme, with all the amenities like minibar, flat-screen TV, free WiFi, coffee and tea making facilities, electronic safe, rain showers and more. The ocean view room also featured individual air conditioners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only thing that I really wished the room had was a bathtub - considering its an adult-only space and targets couples, I think they should have included bathtubs as well in the rooms. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the panaromic ocean view and Juliette balcony made up for the lack of the bathtub. And, also as the beach area was just steps away from our room - we spent a lot of time on the beach loungers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>Activities</b></u> - </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, here comes the best part from our stay at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette - the Blu Passport - which gives the guests an access to free activities when staying in either of the Radisson Blu resorts. While the beach activities at Poste Lafayette resort were limited to free kayaks, pedalos, snorkel gear, and glass-bottom boat trips - the access to numerous beach activities at the Azuri resort made up for it. </div>

We spent a day at the Radisson Blu Azuri resort, sipping amazing cocktails by the pool and making the most of our free access to the beach activities like snorkelling and pedal boating.<br />

There were also a lot of other in-house activities organised at the resort on a daily basis (the reception provides a complete list of activities planned for the week) - like cocktail tasting, bike excursions, aqua workouts, cooking sessions and more - that kept us occupied when we were not resting by the beach or sight seeing. </div>

The resort has three restaurants and a bar -</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Cafe Nautilus</i> is their all-day dining restaurant, located by the pool - offering amazing buffet with local and international dishes. As the hotel had a lot of Indian guests during our visit, the buffet also included a few Indian dishes for those who are strictly vegetarian or prefer having Indian meals; but we savoured their local favourites which were sumptuous.</div>

Located by the beach, the <i>Aqua Beach</i> Bar and restaurant was our favourite from the three dining options available - not only because of the beach view - but also because they had some amazing cocktails on offer and delightful pizzas and seafood platters. There were also special performances like live music and Sega shows that were staged by the bar at night.</div>

<u><b>Staff</b></u> - </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While hotel amenities and surroundings are not the only things that make for a delightful stay experience, it is also about little things that makes the experience even better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The staff was really courteous and helpful. Infact on the second day of my stay during our sight seeing tour, I realised I had left behind a valuable in the room, but I made a call to the hotel staff and they duly informed me that I will find it right where I had placed it when I come back - the assurance itself made my mood better, else I know I wouldn't have been able to enjoy my day worrying about if I will find it when I go back. </div>

There were various other things I loved like the courteous notes by housekeeping, a cocktail evening with the Management where we got to know more about the staff, ever helping staff who guided us through things to do at the beach and near the property or encouraged us to try different cuisines throughout our stay, to the little departure gifts that we received - that made our entire experience memorable and fun.</div>

Overall, I truly enjoyed our stay at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette over a week - and they not only lived upto our expectations, but went beyond it with their amazing service and courtesy. The property is a perfect pick for the honeymooners who are looking for a picturesque location, privacy and romantic ambience for their stay.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The headline of this post might have intrigued you a little bit - well I am talking about the 'reformed shopaholic' part. If you have been a part of my blogging journey since last few years, you might have noticed my shopping habits change over the time. If you are new to my blog, then I would just give a brief intro that I was a shopping addict and mostly an impulse shopper.</div>

But over the years, not only I have evolved as a person but my shopping habits have also changed considerably. Not that I don't shop anymore, but I do practical shopping. And that's why I thought I will share my thoughts today about avoiding a bad purchase or a bad shopping day - as I am sure each one of us has had a bad shopping day more than once.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Are their certain times when you come back home from a great shopping trip, open your shopping bags and immediately think -" Why did I buy this? What was I thinking?" - Well that's what you call a bad shopping day, and in this post I am going share some instant advice about how to be a smart shopper.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u>Prepare a Basic Shopping List</u> </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have realised that the best way to avoid needless purchases and sticking to your budget is by having a shopping list ready with you. I usually have a list ready for each season considering the wardrobe needs could change with seasons. Here, I have prepared a sample wardrobe shopping list that you can refer to -</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep a similar list in your phone whenever you go shopping, and if you think you have enough items that are shown in the list already - you don't need to spend money on buying unnecessary clothes or shoes.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u>Wait Overnight before selecting 'CHECKOUT' on your online shopping cart</u></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aren't we all guilty of making those impulse online purchases, as soon as we see an ad about a 1-day Sale or a Free product. Well, I surely was one of those people who used to get excited by seeing such offers and used to place orders in an instant. And at times, I had many online orders arriving at my place that I had completely forgotten about.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
But once I realised that my wardrobe was overflowing with clothes and makeup that I hardly used, I knew I had to put a stop to the impulse online purchases. Now, whenever I see an incredible offer on a brand I liked, or had an urge to shop online - I add the products I like in the shopping cart but before I click Checkout- I decide to wait for a day and sleep on it. And trust me, the next day I end up realising that the things I wanted to pick were not that important. </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u>Shopping with a clear head</u></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of us end up doing impulsive shopping usually after a breakup, a bad day at work or a fight with friends or family. Not only you end up making bad decisions, you also end up piling on things that you later realise you would have never picked had you been in your right mind. </div>

So, next time when you think about going for a shopping spree after a bad day - go have a hot chocolate instead - it's super relaxing and would cost you just a few bucks instead of a long shopping bill.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u>Wait for the Sales</u></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My friends and I follow this religiously and it has worked out wonders for us to not only control my urge to shop all the time, but also to save up a lot of money as all the brands put their collections on sale within 2 months of the launch. So, if you are not in a hurry to refresh your wardrobe or pick your favourites from the new merchandise, wait for the Sales when almost all the high street brands have offers upto 70% off. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And if you know exactly when the sales start (you can keep a tab through Facebook and Instagram, and also by following your favourite bloggers who know about these sales before they go live) - you can end up saving a lot of money.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><u>Invest in Capsule Wardrobe Essentials</u></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, this is one thing that I have learnt in last couple of years. Instead of purchasing every new trend that comes out every season and becomes obsolete soon; its better to invest in statement basics like a Louis Vuitton bag or a statement watch that are here to stay for long and you would be reaching out for them a lot often as compared to your in-trend jute bag or silicon-strap watch. </div>

Hey lovelies!<br />
This post was long due! A lot of you who had been following my bridal series, not only wanted to see more pictures of my bridal lehenga but also wanted to know my bridal lehenga shopping experience at Sabyasachi.<br />
<br />
The first time I started thinking of getting married, I dreamt of being a Sabyasachi bride. I think he is one designer who has taken Indian traditional wear to another level by giving it a modern take with his distinct style. And ever since I saw his designs at the ramp during my initial years of fashion blogging, I absolutely fell in love with his design aesthetics and I always envisioned wearing one of his designs.<br />
<br />

So, last December when I decided to take the plunge, the first thoughts I had in my mind were about the wedding lehenga. Having only two months in hand till the wedding date, I was kind of in a dilemma that would I even get a lehenga on time or not as usually designers take a minimum of two months to deliver a custom lehenga.<br />
<br />
<u>My First Visit for Bridal Lehenga Shopping</u> :<br />
So in the second week of January, I decided to pay a visit to the heaven of bridal couture - Mehrauli - where all the leading designers have their stores; with my mom and my bestie.<br />
<br />
When I called to take up an appointment at the Sabyasachi, Anita Dongre and other designer boutique s in the vicinity - I was told an appointment is not needed, and you can visit anytime of the day to check out the collection. (PS : Sabyasachi store is closed on Sundays and they don't do Billings post 6pm)<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
I visited a couple of multi-brand boutiques like Kayra and Carma but I didn't find any bridal lehengas to my liking - as they had designs more suitable for a mehendi or engagement function.<br />
<br />
So, we finally decided to visit Sabyasachi before checking out other designers in the area. Now, I had been to the flagship store before (for the launch event) but I didn't know then that I will be visiting the place again to finalise my wedding lehenga.<br />
<br />
The Sabyasachi Mehrauli space is no less than royalty - the opulent space has two wings - one for bridal couture and jewellery, while the other wing has ready-to-wear saris, kurtas, menswear and other collections by the designer.<br />
<br />
While the ground floor of the bridal wing has lighter lehengas and stunning range of sarees, the bridal heaven is on the first floor with all the designs that you have seen on the ramp or on his social media accounts available there.<br />

<u>Price Range : </u><br />
<br />
Now, here's one bummer, if you have always wondered what is the price of a Sabyasachi bridal lehenga - you should keep in mind before visiting the store that <u>the lehengas apt for your D-day are priced above Rs 3,00,000</u>. So, in case you have a budget lesser than this, you should ideally check out Aza Fashions or Carma - both the multi-designer boutiques keep the lower-priced lehengas from Sabyasachi (priced between 1.5-3 lakh rupees).<br />
<br />
Even the bridal lehengas in Mehrauli store are in two price ranges : <u>the raw silk lehengas with intricate zardozi work are priced between Rs 3,00,000 to Rs 7,00,000</u>. But if you are looking to buy his famous <u>velvet lehengas, the prices start at Rs 7,00,000 and go up to Rs 20,00,000</u> or more for his exclusive couture pieces.<br />
<br />
<u>Designs :</u><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All what you see in the store is all what you get! Precisely because all the designs launched by Sabyasachi are available in store and major customisations are not done. You will find each design in two-three color options and the sales assistant will help show you more designs that can be made available on request on their iPads. But don't expect to get a completely new design made or any major customisation to be made to a design you like (at least that's what I was told as they only offer size customisation but any other alterations are not allowed).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After going through the collection, I finalised the below lehenga which is from the designer's <i><b>Devi collection</b></i>. I always wanted a lehenga that had all-over work in a monotone color. While this lehenga was available in a red and a deep wine colour as well - my mom, my bestie and even the sales assistant agreed that I looked much better in this bright pink color. </div>

</div>
<div>
Now, after shortlisting this lehenga - we decided to visit the other designers also the same day. We visited Anita Dongre, Manish Malhotra, Sulakshana Monga and Carma that have their flagship stores in Mehrauli - but honestly no other lehenga grabbed my attention and my heart kept going back to the Sabyasachi lehenga.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, knowing that we didn't have much time in hand - we decided to book my lehenga the same day and went back to the Sabyasachi store.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Measurements and Booking : </u></div>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
This was my second visit to the store on the day and well right before the measurements I was told to first go purchase a full-cup underwire bra for the correct measurements of the blouse. We rushed to the M&S store in Select Citywalk, purchased a new bra just for the measurements and headed back to the store for booking the lehenga.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally, the measurements were done on our third visit to the store on the same day and we were told that we would get the lehenga on 24th Feb - just 10 days before my wedding. Their team usually takes two months to deliver the lehenga, so I was still lucky that they decided to make mine in 45 days.</div>
<div>
(But honestly I would not recommend you to wait till the last minute to book your lehenga, as I was stressed out till the time I got my lehenga as it was so close to the wedding day.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>**</b>Also, if you are a UK size L or above, you would have to shell out an extra amount for the lehenga - a fact I wasn't aware of before visiting the store and didn't read even in the posts I had earlier read about the designer's bridal collection. The extra cost could be around Rs 50,000 and can even go upto Rs 1,00,000 or more depending upon the extra number of kalis that would need to be added to the lehenga.<b>**</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, after a long day, I finally had a realisation that I was going to be a Sabyasachi bride - a dream that I had envisioned since many years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just 2-3 days before the lehenga's delivery date, I received a call from the store that my lehenga was finally ready and I could pick it from the store. Eagerly, I visited next day to collect my lehenga and to my surprise - it fit me beautifully. I had lost a few kilos in these two months which made the lehenga a little lose from the waist - but the drawstrings to the lehenga made sure I didn't have to worry about it.</div>

Undoubtedly, I received a lot of compliments on the gorgeous lehenga - but honestly, it wasn't just for the compliments that I purchased this outfit - it was for the dream that every bride-to-be has - to look the perfect version of herself on her big day.<br />
<br />
Here are few more pictures of my wedding lehenga and few shots from my D-day -<br />

Before ending this post, I would surely like to mention that it doesn't matter that you wear a designer wedding lehenga on your D-day or not, but you should pick something that would not only make you feel confident but also make you feel your prettiest self.<br />
<br />
Also, don't go by what online magazines or stylists recommend - as there is no one style or dress that you should stick to - just because it is in trend or is out of trend. You should always go out, browse different styles at places you have shortlisted and decide only once you have tried everything on. This is one main piece of advice I would give to upcoming brides.<br />

Hey lovelies!<br />
No one loves facing a Monday after a great weekend, especially those who are working in a 9 to 5 job. And now that I have taken a break from my full-time job, I haven't been feeling the Monday blues any more. Which even though I rejoice, I do sometimes miss being at work and getting together my work wardrobe.<br />
<br />
And when I saw these amazing side slit trousers at ZARA recently, I could think of so many ways I could I style these trendy pants, especially in my work wardrobe. Even if I am not working full-time, these pants are perfect for a work meeting or a semi-formal event.<br />
<br />
So, I ended up pairing this with an oversized sequinned shirt that was one of my favourite finds from my first visit to the Colaba market in Mumbai.<br />
<br />

Completing the look were my sleek ankle-strap heels from <b>Mast & Harbour</b> and a pair of statement earrings. And of course I couldn't help styling it with the <b>Gucci</b> pebbled leather bag which is in many ways a wardrobe staple. Not only it has a versatile design, but it is spacious enough to carry all my everyday essentials and has tall handles that are really comfortable to carry.<br />

While I picked an oversized shirt to style these really smart side slit pants, you can pair it with a silk blouse or a tank top for a street smart look. Infact, you will find a lot of versions of these pants - with front slits, thigh-high side slits or even double-sided slits that are a breezy update to your favourite pants.<br />

Popularly called the “Pink City”, Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan known for its architectural beauty and rich cultural heritage. It is a must-visit tourist destination attracting visitors from all over the world. One must plan a minimum of 3-5 days trip to explore and experience everything that the city has to offer.<br />

Hey lovelies!<br />
You all know how much I love online shopping and discovering deals and discounts that are available exclusively online. However, residing in India, purchasing some of my favorite international brands in US online becomes rather difficult, as either they don’t ship to India or the shipping fee is too costly. <br />
<br />
While making one of my online purchases recently, I came across the services of 1GrandTrunk which turned out to be a blessing for me. While looking to purchase the latest Gucci bag I spotted on Nordstrom, I was saddened to know that the particular bag cant be shipped to India. That’s when a friend recommended me to try <a href="https://www.1grandtrunk.com/" target="_blank"><b>1GrandTrunk</b></a> and I visited their website to get more information.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had never tried a service of getting my order shipped to a US address and then get it to shipped to my address in India. But after my friend’s recommendation and understanding how simple it is to book your parcel through <b>1GrandTrunk</b> – I decided to go ahead with the purchase.<br />
<br />
Booking your online package through <b><u>1GrandTrunk</u></b> is really simple. You just have to -<br />
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Sign up to create an account and get your personalized US local address.</li>
<li>Make your online purchase at any of your preferred online store in US and enter your 1GrandTrunk address while checking out. </li>
</ul>
PS : Most websites usually offer free domestic shipping to US, so you just have to pay for getting your package shipped to your address in India (amazing, right?)</div>

Hey lovelies!<br />
<br />
It's been almost 7 years of blogging, but I have never done a What's In My Bag ever. So, recently when I did a poll on Instagram about what would everyone like to read next on the blog, they wanted to know about my everyday essentials, so I decided to do one.<br />
<br />
While I am not working full time these days, the essential items that I keep in my bag haven't changed much. If you have noticed my previous outfit posts, you would have seen that I prefer to carry bigger bags or tote bags as I always keep a lot of things with me, especially if I know I am going to stay out for long hours.<br />
<br />

<br />
So, I emptied my bag (which I carried to an event recently) and here's everything that is really and truly in my bag :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05jaciTmd9u7HDVPmhzA66q_QNHuhJyJaFzI42kpZcHXe1VkYm60W65rZ4je4UKrkOwGAYoOnXzmHKEAYr3rX1v_5T6OddzV4AwWS2tQGAtXUNEJMedyE5nCOLMhwIN61Xp1bPF6JMTL9/s1600/W1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05jaciTmd9u7HDVPmhzA66q_QNHuhJyJaFzI42kpZcHXe1VkYm60W65rZ4je4UKrkOwGAYoOnXzmHKEAYr3rX1v_5T6OddzV4AwWS2tQGAtXUNEJMedyE5nCOLMhwIN61Xp1bPF6JMTL9/s640/W1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My Go-To Bag : <b>Louis Vuitton Speedy 30</b> - I picked this bag last year as my first luxury purchase and it has been my BFF ever since. I mean what's not to love about this bag? It's super spacious, easy to carry and goes well with everything in my wardrobe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Wallet</b> : Trussardi Jeans - So, my husband picked this elegant wallet from Portugal recently and it easily fits into most of my small bags as well. It comes with a handy money pouch that can be carried separately as well; and has multiple slots to keep my cards handy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Business Cards and Holder :</b> So, I received this business card holder as a gift few years back and I designed my business card myself. I carry them every time in my bag, as when you are blogging full-time, you may end up meeting prospective brands who would want to work with you anywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>House Keys</b> and <b>Pen Drive</b> : So, the bow shaped key chain from H&M doubles up as a key holder and bag charm and I think it's really cute. The heel-shaped pen drive was actually a gift from Steve Madden a few years ago and can also double up as a bag charm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZQIF1PJeMrWb5kXdE4jzNgiygyJ_eYLERzZJTDklaaMPfk0rDOk6qKbWa0j9jptV5F1EkE42OEjR6f-8L12r7epllqb8MhN2lZk3ZuVhZvZO7DBKXV4izIHv-0nb-i6QE8alxQi5sJkc/s1600/W3-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZQIF1PJeMrWb5kXdE4jzNgiygyJ_eYLERzZJTDklaaMPfk0rDOk6qKbWa0j9jptV5F1EkE42OEjR6f-8L12r7epllqb8MhN2lZk3ZuVhZvZO7DBKXV4izIHv-0nb-i6QE8alxQi5sJkc/s640/W3-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Sunglasses</b> : Now, you might be wondering why I keep two pairs of sunglasses in my bag. Well, the printed sunnies are from Lefties - again a gift from my husband, and I keep them handy in my bag all the time. While the rose gold sunnies are from GUESS and were a gift from my brother, I had kept them in bag for the event and I wear them only occasionally.<br />
<br />
<b>Makeup Pouch</b> : This glitter makeup pouch was actually a part of a holiday collection set that I bought from Lancome two years back and comes in handy to store my makeup properly.<br />
<br />
<b>Lipsticks</b> : Being a lipstick addict, I always have two or more lipsticks in my bag. Especially on days when I have to go for a party or an event after work; as a different lipstick can instantly change your look even if you don't change your outfit.<br />
<br />
MAC Mehr - This shade from MAC is so far the most versatile color I have seen. It not only goes well with any outfit I wear, but is also perfect for day and night.<br />
MAC Night to Remember - I always have a red lipstick in my bag, and this one is a stunning red with a luminous finish and lasts for 5-6 hours easily. <br />
NYX Soft Matte lip cream - This time in my bag I had the lip cream in Prague which is a bright pink that works well on Indian skin tones.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9D50hfct61apIaYcNua6OS-KNeIztwM45BliQCJLn0_SxxtIFQQzY4JDHasi1pOo80Pi-FXBpuyD84reopX8acnXHCJ0YW5x6FZshRa-PAPEImjiHMA_4vvLLTWC18bCA4TJJ9P8_rgg/s1600/W4-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9D50hfct61apIaYcNua6OS-KNeIztwM45BliQCJLn0_SxxtIFQQzY4JDHasi1pOo80Pi-FXBpuyD84reopX8acnXHCJ0YW5x6FZshRa-PAPEImjiHMA_4vvLLTWC18bCA4TJJ9P8_rgg/s640/W4-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Lip Balm</b> : Now I don't suffer from chapped lips, but I still like to keep a lip balm as when a matte lipstick starts wearing out, a coat of lip balm can help you go for couple of more hours<br />
<br />
<b>Eye Liner</b> : Not one of my favorite eye liners, but I guess I had this Nykaa eye liner in my bag that day as I couldn't find my regular MAC eye pencil. Nothing bad about this liner, but I just find its applicator uncomfortable to use.<br />
<br />
<b>Kajal</b> : I picked the VLCC Enchanting eyes Kajal recently after being off-kajal for weeks due to an infection a previous Kajal I used caused. This not only suits my eyes without causing any dryness, but also is super black and lasts for hours long.<br />
<br />
<b>Mascara</b> : So, apart from lipsticks I am a mascara fan and I have a lot of mascaras. This time I had in my bag an Oriflame super volume mascara and a MAC 3D Black lash mascara (travel size).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk9Ak7E1jtiHB-QhHSNYfRfvO2hAkXX2z2xsRBm3RawE55F4GbIk521hXVN2lVLFHgOevsl2pOJfUQxlxLE03iLQfrJKQalbM1YnZ6OkkLfWQBjnD1tGjQUtPWwTOPQUfSLuBfhptzPZLT/s1600/W6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk9Ak7E1jtiHB-QhHSNYfRfvO2hAkXX2z2xsRBm3RawE55F4GbIk521hXVN2lVLFHgOevsl2pOJfUQxlxLE03iLQfrJKQalbM1YnZ6OkkLfWQBjnD1tGjQUtPWwTOPQUfSLuBfhptzPZLT/s640/W6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Blush</b> : I always keep The Body Shop Honey Bronze highlighter that I use as a blush every time I feel like adding a little color to my cheeks - it is easy to use and travel friendly.<br />
<br />
<b>Mini Perfume</b> : Part of a Victoria's Secret Tease set I bought from Singapore, this mini perfume fits perfectly in any small bag as well and has an enticing floral fragrance with a blend of black vanilla, frozen pear and blooming gardenia.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>MAC Prep + Prime</b> : It actually works like a balm or a base for a lipstick by instantly adding moisture and smoothing the lips.<br />
<br />
<b>MAC Blot Film</b> : I also keep a pack of blotting papers in my bag as I have a combination skin, and this thin film helps remove traces of oil or shine without smudging the makeup. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-uV7moaJByX2F1uMH42948WX6IOwysFBcd1PGF2bg1Bc-qaKc-1ZgKNCgn-S9zBtm4DCkv8m4NkA6MRomcfpRQPhwaCeOyx4TwBtK0_0Y8ATCljDIS1PszTOAhN5HFLXMAmQ-V63b8-2W/s1600/W7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-uV7moaJByX2F1uMH42948WX6IOwysFBcd1PGF2bg1Bc-qaKc-1ZgKNCgn-S9zBtm4DCkv8m4NkA6MRomcfpRQPhwaCeOyx4TwBtK0_0Y8ATCljDIS1PszTOAhN5HFLXMAmQ-V63b8-2W/s640/W7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Compact Foundation</b> : Revlon Photoready compact is something that comes in handy when you don't have a foundation or want a light, flawless base for your everyday makeup. Also, it can be used with a wet sponge for a higher coverage.<br />
<br />
<b>Makeup Palette</b> : I usually carry this or a different makeup kit with me if I am having a long day out or have to attend an event directly after work or a meeting. This palette from NYX has literally everything you might need for a quick makeup - eye shadows, contouring shades and brow powders.<br />
<br />
<b>Mini Brush</b> : This Elizabeth Arden blush brush was a part of a Set of 2 and comes in really handy to apply makeup on the go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9VwFFM2N0Ig37R6ojmxZzngoYKXjlGRdDJuva_7xUuQSow1SKgPMK_oayqdNIlNa9e3qdcA77rl57hijq4-q9K72dghcuxZE3IuBZvwFq7nGm4RpHmMMT2rSlzgjlLIfna8FrY765UZGj/s1600/W5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9VwFFM2N0Ig37R6ojmxZzngoYKXjlGRdDJuva_7xUuQSow1SKgPMK_oayqdNIlNa9e3qdcA77rl57hijq4-q9K72dghcuxZE3IuBZvwFq7nGm4RpHmMMT2rSlzgjlLIfna8FrY765UZGj/s640/W5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Body Mist</b> : You can never go wrong with the ZARA Orange Blossom & Sandalwood which has a mild yet amazing fragrance and has a travel-friendly packaging.<br />
<br />
<b>Perfume</b> : Again, I don't carry this perfume everyday but when I am going out for blog shoots or events. <i>GUESS 1981</i> is one of my latest picks and has a soothing woody musky base with floral and fruity notes that are perfect for a dressy day.<br />
<br />
So, yes, this is an extensive list of products in my bag and often my friends say that I always have something or other in my bag that they need when we are out together. But well, one's always got to be prepared, right?<br />
