Why FOREVER 21 is here to stay!

Indian fashionistas didn't know what they were missing until FOREVER 21 arrived. It has arrived and with a bang! Delhi already had a store since 2 years & now Mumbai has 3 stores at Oberoi Mall-Goregaon , Infinity Mall-Malad and Viviana Mall-Thane .There is menswear too , except in Malad store. Bloggers had a ball as the stores in Oberoi (inaugurated by Shraddha Kapoor)and Viviana(inaugurated by Jacqueline Fernandes) opened within a fortnight on Saturday mornings and what better way to start the weekends than to go crazyy at Forever 21stores! My favorite so far is the Oberoi Mall collection. Its not very feasible to go shopping at these 3 locations but if you have fallen for it, you will do EXCLUSIVE FOREVER 21 shopping sprees like I do. Infact I believe we should start this ALL GIRLS FOREVER 21 shopping gang which goes shopping together to save on taxi bills :P

My first pedicure at Jean Claude Biguine

"YOu know its time for a pedicure , when you can exfoliate one foot with the other" ....Eeeeks!

Why would somebody do that! Lack of time, perhaps! I was pretty much in that state when I was invited to Jean Claude Biguine, remember the cool hair-do I got there last time! So , I am this total DIY pedicure girl who never opted for a pedicure at a salon.

PINKTOBER and why?

"What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it."

A haberdashery is a one-stop-shop for all sewing needs, a concept fairly well known internationally. It is a one point destination for people with a creative streak who prefer adding a personal touch to their outfits or accessories. This experiential store invites its audience to take a fresh, youthful and contemporary perspective to the art of sewing and accessory making. It offers a plethora of new experiences, encourages learning and creativity through workshops, demos and store exhibits, for all age groups.

The Hab boasts of a signature window installation at the entrance, designed by the internationally acclaimed Indian designer Manish Arora . Another WOW creation from the genius , I would say! See for yourself.
