It was a delight to be part of the Skin awareness month by Galderma India recently which had the city's celebrated dermatologists & influencers on panel to discuss all things skincare. And just so you don't miss out, grab a cup of your favourite beverage and keep reading for all the skincare tips , hacks and general reminders that will be shared throughout this post .

For any one who's ever suffered from Acne, <b>Cetaphil has been the number one cleanser of choice suggested by dermatologists</b> . In my teenage years, Cetaphil was a constant . My acne was inflammatory and quite painful. With all treatment creams stripping off moisture , this cleanser was the most soothing touch on my face . Growing up in a small town , I was unsure if the best products were available for skincare. But when i used Cetaphil , it gave my teenage self so much hope! When they invited me for the Skin awareness month , it was a sweet moment that brought back all the memories. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8B0IKcVHr-PKHEMIRRA5yQfS3ByDDK8QDM28LJLvSn1bh4qNnJZkyeQ7EFCyj9y2GH7FYcVEHC3hs0ong1xynLqHJ4saXn3OXTz64qaCNA2dYKirWIK2vS44Mii9bodKkQq1EErAX8ZJxqLuDB6ZdQGyBZjFnFpddFSFahvMD0-T7owVBoM05wvh/s1124/2CEF6260-D9C4-4152-879B-8B7F7134C40E.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1124" data-original-width="843" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8B0IKcVHr-PKHEMIRRA5yQfS3ByDDK8QDM28LJLvSn1bh4qNnJZkyeQ7EFCyj9y2GH7FYcVEHC3hs0ong1xynLqHJ4saXn3OXTz64qaCNA2dYKirWIK2vS44Mii9bodKkQq1EErAX8ZJxqLuDB6ZdQGyBZjFnFpddFSFahvMD0-T7owVBoM05wvh/w480-h640/2CEF6260-D9C4-4152-879B-8B7F7134C40E.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Now, the <b>news</b>? They have taken their already fantastic formulations a notch up by adding gentle ingredients like<b> Glycerine</b> for hydration , <b>Niacinamide</b> for brightening and <b>Panthenol </b>for moisturising . OMG, what !!! </p><p>When the best things get even better, it calls for a happy dance ! I have already got my hands on the newly designed packaging and new formula and no surprise - I am loving it ! There is a product for every skin-type from cleansers , moisturisers to Sunscreens.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitiNfvWbrIwnVhWXIEJXR53yg68CqPCs2zo95QOt2jGhHmnio1h4OnQKed7YPoed4wjn4sdekuQH3-4rUXFP_JsH-gF5DN7qHLfQuFPbIAl3Tl4u1BSyCSYOb6rMsoZub-5gEUrEC3go5Fu8r2ndBsRZV0VT-8tN3OvCtvXKFsvpbfQpDx2wAWdiXp/s4032/IMG_0204.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitiNfvWbrIwnVhWXIEJXR53yg68CqPCs2zo95QOt2jGhHmnio1h4OnQKed7YPoed4wjn4sdekuQH3-4rUXFP_JsH-gF5DN7qHLfQuFPbIAl3Tl4u1BSyCSYOb6rMsoZub-5gEUrEC3go5Fu8r2ndBsRZV0VT-8tN3OvCtvXKFsvpbfQpDx2wAWdiXp/w480-h640/IMG_0204.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>If you are already a skincare enthusiast, you know your skin type. But if you're new to the skincare game, keep reading because the doctors shared a simple test to find out your skin type :</p><p><b>HOW to find your SKIN-TYPE?</b></p><p><b>Step 1: </b>Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.</p><p><b>Step 2: </b>Observe face after 30 minutes . </p><p>👉If its shiny all over<b> - Oily skin</b></p><p>👉If its stretchy and feels parched<b> - Dry Skin</b></p><p>👉If the nose and forehead is shiny and remaining face feels stretchy<b> - Combination Skin</b></p><p>👉If the face feels hydrated<b> - Normal Skin </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>WHY is knowing your SKIN-TYPE important ?</b></p><p>Selecting the right skincare products starts with knowing your skin-type. Not all products are created equal. An oily skin produces too much sebum and hence needs sebum-regulating formulations while a dry skin needs a different approach . Skincare is effective only when we use the appropriate products for our kind of skin. </p><p>Did you know, skin type can change ? Oh yes ! Younger individuals have normal skin type until puberty hits and changes the game. As for me, I noticed my skin was very oily during my teenage acne days . Now into my 30s , I am a combination -skin type ! Phew! This means i have to constantly observe my skin and listen to its needs . </p><p>And now, lets move to the most frequently experienced skincare Woes- BREAKOUTS/ACNE . Some myths that were busted : </p><p><b>ACNE MYTH - Busters : </b></p><p><b>💥 Makeup causes Acne - </b>If a makeup product is dermatologically tested and approved , it will not cause acne . What can cause acne however , is using unclean brushes , makeup sponge to apply makeup or not taking it off before sleeping !</p><p>💥<b>Acne is normal. It can be treated at home - </b>A Big no ! Skin is the biggest organ of our body and just like every other organ , it is susceptible to diseases. Acne is a skin disease and can get worse if not treated . Therefore , always reach out to your dermatologist . As Dr.Khan mentioned during the panel discussion , there's no acne that cannot be treated ! So , don't wait and start your treatment right away. Even though it takes long, never be disheartened . I know I was rewarded with clear skin with all the patience and discipline with treatments and so can you ! Also , clean eating habits and an active lifestyle incorporating regular exercise is the best way to beat Acne along with medication. I have written about this earlier and you can refer to my earlier posts. </p><p>Now, that we have tackled the most common skin disease - acne , lets move on to the next bit which is post-acne care or just ageing signs like <b>HYPERPIGMENTATION, uneven skin tone & dull skin</b> . </p><p>The house of Galderma which makes Cetaphil has a recent entry <b>"BILUMA"</b> that caters to just these skin situations . The name Biluma means Be Luma ( Luma= Light ). Currently available in India , Middle East and South Africa they use gentle formations in their cleansers, moisturisers and lotions for a glowing and youthful skin . Their products work to balance the circadian rhythm of our skin. Sounds alien? Let me explain. </p><p><b>WHAT IS OUR SKIN's CIRCADIAN RYTHM?</b></p><p>The skin functions differ from daytime to night. During the day, the skin functions to brighten and protect while during the night it rejuvenates and nourishes. </p><p><b>WHY IS THE SKIN's CIRCADIAN RYTHM important ?</b></p><p>An imbalance in the day and night skin cycle due to internal and external factors leads to early signs of ageing like Hyperpigmentaion , uneven skin tone, wrinkles , laxity & dull dry skin !</p><p>This is where the Biluma range comes handy - it balances the skin's rythm and actively promotes a glowing , radiant skin. I will be incorporating their day and night cream into my routine as it claims to lighten dark spots in 3 weeks of usage. Whats the best part - their night cream has my favourite ingredient Kakadu plum ( A source of vitamin C ) & hyaluronic acid that have given me great results recently. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvo0CNPKnusVWAZDUvCq4gtlAGywrdBO-YjXzyyupP3gGlmsjT9xHmZSHU-qv_KcVCPOolDArBKVR-R5S8yPMpt_Cx4m6Gwq81wHdPyttVw5UMSqE_cL_DomqskTaiu2p7Kb48MzUqg_UkqrHYcI99zaLrnwBfEN8bbs57Z6mkpq3ZCj7yxSYKWEM0/s4032/IMG_0211.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvo0CNPKnusVWAZDUvCq4gtlAGywrdBO-YjXzyyupP3gGlmsjT9xHmZSHU-qv_KcVCPOolDArBKVR-R5S8yPMpt_Cx4m6Gwq81wHdPyttVw5UMSqE_cL_DomqskTaiu2p7Kb48MzUqg_UkqrHYcI99zaLrnwBfEN8bbs57Z6mkpq3ZCj7yxSYKWEM0/w480-h640/IMG_0211.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> They also have a very unique cream meant for treating pigmentation in underarms, neck and inner thighs which i am keen to try . Stay tuned on my instagram as I update you about the usage . Its interesting to see pharma brands including naturally derived ingredients in skincare and this brought in another round of myth busters . Read on ...</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>MORE SKINCARE MYTHS:</b></p><p><b>💥NATURAL INGREDIENTS CAN BE DIRECTLY APPLIED ON FACE. We don't need a skincare product containing same natural ingredients for that . </b></p><p>No. Using natural ingredients on face directly can lead to more adverse reactions than benefits Also, the molecular size of natural chemicals present in the fruit/spice is generally not ideal for the skin barrier . For example , turmeric. The molecular size of curcumin thats the main chemical in turmeric is very large and cannot be absorbed by our skin for its ideal benefits. Hence a laboratory derived extract will be more effective . </p><p>There is so much more that we can talk about skincare, so lets keep the discussion rolling in the comments and on my instagram post. But , if we have to sum it up :</p><p><b>6 RULES TO A HEALTHY SKIN : </b></p><p>1. Always remove makeup , before sleep</p><p>2. Use a gentle cleanser for your skin type that feels hydrating </p><p>3. Always wear sunscreen - indoors or outdoors</p><p>4. Use a gentle day cream for your skin-type. Yes, oily skin needs hydration too. </p><p>5. If you notice any skin irritation , always stop skin care actives and visit your doctor . </p><p>6. Don't forget to drink 3-4 Litres of water, exercise and eat well . </p><p><br /></p><p>Till , next time, CIAO!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>ILA JOHARIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11730060880642995250noreply@blogger.com0Mumbai, Maharashtra, India19.0759837 72.8776559-9.2342501361788472 37.721405899999993 47.386217536178847 108.0339059tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874079157018745651.post-85808361747641404552022-02-17T11:43:00.003+05:302022-02-17T11:43:56.650+05:30{F.A.S.H.I.O.N} I dream of Travel <p> </p><p>Its just so amusing how 2020 brought a standstill to everything "LIFE". </p><p>Ever since i started working , I saw the dream of travel and as a couple we decide to visit at least 1 country in a year . 2020 brought us a lot of gratitude for all that we were able to experience in the past ! 2 years down the line, I cannot wait to take off somewhere far very soon ! There is a constant realisation that time is running fast and that we need to see so much that we missed . In 2020, I had decided to visit Japan in the famed Sakura season - those blossoms just have me mesmerised ! </p><p><br /></p><p>And right now, all i know is I want to be in Tokyo , watch the glorious sakura blooms, eat lots of unique Japanese food including Mochi and dash into some Vintage Chanel stores ! The plan is clear and bright and I really wish it materialises ! For now , I have to save up, wait and watch while Japan opens its borders to tourists ( It hasn't yet ). </p><p>Meanwhile, Bombay winters have been the most memorable in my 15 years here ! 17 degree mornings and nights - I have been up for them ! Extended morning walks and post 10 pm night walks were done just to feel the cold winds on my face ! And how can i forget the fashion impact - The boots were out . They were worn for more than a shoot ! In outdoor cafes , when things got safer . So delighted with how the city didn't make me miss my annual autumn vacation ! It was all right here ! </p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy the look and tell me which country should i take this look to ?</p><p>Btw, can you tell these pictures are RAW- no edits needed ! Bombay weather really outdid itself ! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGiM7Q_Kg8KmQ9jVZAyzK3IKwqQiaeTzjivSX7WK5ehi1pjbtVqEe8J9LGQUigNMZnzganOExJrQ1H4MgiOXi5AiOBRNxRBJ55Y8P0NgQnFSJhzsYespV5Om_7kTxX6Ly7G5adMZZC4czJSCxyQ9AStwHfOu69ljpCdUr5ajX297t7x5l351k5_6tY=s1794" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1794" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgGiM7Q_Kg8KmQ9jVZAyzK3IKwqQiaeTzjivSX7WK5ehi1pjbtVqEe8J9LGQUigNMZnzganOExJrQ1H4MgiOXi5AiOBRNxRBJ55Y8P0NgQnFSJhzsYespV5Om_7kTxX6Ly7G5adMZZC4czJSCxyQ9AStwHfOu69ljpCdUr5ajX297t7x5l351k5_6tY=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWPLhKqEpjxFT54oTqXfY5QHriSuv6YfhxjUxPzPo4J_j2_QEAbCMUjEZkDSZLHerrksJnJGs28pz8lwFsR7FiHzOkQLvVfzFM6YYmBgueWPOZZ3_0KqWs24rYvVk6eeDrtadF_NDVEVdCMg9D3cExLSdcEKFKajpDX66khuZDydD7GrAop3g86zuh=s1794" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1794" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWPLhKqEpjxFT54oTqXfY5QHriSuv6YfhxjUxPzPo4J_j2_QEAbCMUjEZkDSZLHerrksJnJGs28pz8lwFsR7FiHzOkQLvVfzFM6YYmBgueWPOZZ3_0KqWs24rYvVk6eeDrtadF_NDVEVdCMg9D3cExLSdcEKFKajpDX66khuZDydD7GrAop3g86zuh=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEij1zhaFiP7mPeSfvRrkxDAsRULCO1AicDfurLKs5Cu-2D-C8v7quonmEetJWrAb4WIWE-fIbYCPW6dxNWx8eT4guH5_IhNwhFVUqmILOi6Ed1QwsrcmfpAGhqV3okqIaP3TWjHvp8QvsmERgFaGpjDeaVE-ThAO5RK2Ii8NjgiuTteClxcLpr9qjTM=s1794" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1794" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEij1zhaFiP7mPeSfvRrkxDAsRULCO1AicDfurLKs5Cu-2D-C8v7quonmEetJWrAb4WIWE-fIbYCPW6dxNWx8eT4guH5_IhNwhFVUqmILOi6Ed1QwsrcmfpAGhqV3okqIaP3TWjHvp8QvsmERgFaGpjDeaVE-ThAO5RK2Ii8NjgiuTteClxcLpr9qjTM=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjp6FS5WEJvWixJIGWwIeCgT50TM5wWX39VnenclQf5sHcLEvqODHSV9MXeeBkybL8WW5IgmZxM17lkT635BPejqmM2kR-s4A3bjzC9lD0yO2fAsLxBkV1GJvswCO6XYhsVjRjNO0oqrJ8cW9CIofa8xluoC5rWSOY3bZVxeCOcqptgnReaM1nPObfJ=s1794" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1794" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjp6FS5WEJvWixJIGWwIeCgT50TM5wWX39VnenclQf5sHcLEvqODHSV9MXeeBkybL8WW5IgmZxM17lkT635BPejqmM2kR-s4A3bjzC9lD0yO2fAsLxBkV1GJvswCO6XYhsVjRjNO0oqrJ8cW9CIofa8xluoC5rWSOY3bZVxeCOcqptgnReaM1nPObfJ=s16000" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtLAfPe1GzM3TtWe1vHR8mprcUF7eCrPG4Xq22nRecLcOzVaf3rQvTar8NZ8wkdHWEcwc7bSeAZOX0Kittt8-uXrauRlhkm3zcDe4o6QnLi8N3Rgkivg_MVVpJtzO_F4A1ADxVTgzjJ4BBTC2jn8Uxa7tYKbUG4ApafxVbMtaWmrLCgYsya3gLCYqv=s3888" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="2592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtLAfPe1GzM3TtWe1vHR8mprcUF7eCrPG4Xq22nRecLcOzVaf3rQvTar8NZ8wkdHWEcwc7bSeAZOX0Kittt8-uXrauRlhkm3zcDe4o6QnLi8N3Rgkivg_MVVpJtzO_F4A1ADxVTgzjJ4BBTC2jn8Uxa7tYKbUG4ApafxVbMtaWmrLCgYsya3gLCYqv=s16000" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Top, Culotte - Zara | Shoes - Promod | Bag - Guess | Baroque Pearl earrings - D'eanna jewels</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Till next time , CIAO!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>ILA JOHARIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11730060880642995250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874079157018745651.post-67650129093003263022022-01-19T11:32:00.005+05:302022-01-19T11:34:10.865+05:30{ F.A.S.H.I.O.N } HOPE IS A ROCKSTAR <p>Hello my beautiful people !</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you decided to include "reading more " in your 2022 resolution list, then i am here to make you achieve that resolution faster ! Ofcourse by writing more haha! </p><p>Skipping the whole of 2021 like it never existed and directly updating the blog in 2022 - bet there will be a lot of blogposts come rain or sun ! I wrote a couple of drafts in 2021 but didn't go on to updating them- the year just didn't feel like it ! However , the last 3 months of 2021 were such a relief with an all time low of COVID cases and return to normalcy ! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>While the year has begun with a landslide of Covid cases and other viral infections , it somehow seems like the beginning of better times with more of us protected with vaccines and those with Covid having manageable symptoms. And yet there are some of us who are struggling to fight the infection despite vaccines . As the recovery rates are promising, the scenario is hopeful ! </p><p><br /></p><p>The past two years have made us bank on one word the most - " HOPE" more than we ever did ! It has also shifted our focus inwards . More and more people ignoring their health all these years have in some way embraced better lifestyle habits. As much as there has been loss, there has been an opportunity to grow. </p><p><br /></p><p>While Some of us have deeply suffered when it comes to work and finances , some have made commendable strides to be proud of . The year has been that of extremes and some averages. And yet , the only thing we need to take away from this year is that every little thing needs to be celebrated right from being able to just wake up every day to achieving dreams in difficult times ! Every little thing is worthy of a pat on the back . You are fabulous if you've read this far and i only hope the best is awaiting you ! Here's beginning 2022 on a hopeful note - We got this ! </p><p>Leaving you with a look shot on the beautiful Christmas morning of 2021 ! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiolsfs3opCNx6YSSiJEhKlo8ZI0mOGMYBlWD9iFTOiwtVKav9eBGMiqJ1ajr1VDz7GwYEWLBSG1I2zuLe9u6m_PRJTECkNREeQscPzeVYbOZOUsYewvhTG0Ta-YhqCei7HSvkZmmhKBE-iUuhnd_cxAudYAIj5lEiXbqrIwi5nKDj6TF6C1EDwl0nd=s3888" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="2592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiolsfs3opCNx6YSSiJEhKlo8ZI0mOGMYBlWD9iFTOiwtVKav9eBGMiqJ1ajr1VDz7GwYEWLBSG1I2zuLe9u6m_PRJTECkNREeQscPzeVYbOZOUsYewvhTG0Ta-YhqCei7HSvkZmmhKBE-iUuhnd_cxAudYAIj5lEiXbqrIwi5nKDj6TF6C1EDwl0nd=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKCXm3DWnwr8bg2LGOxelq_xfHubakmoOBBy9IwHMhXAfIoD9t1R6MH3IOc5TiKGQ9AXkXYOxRUQqjSNLna2uxgkpWWZIuKLK7zeXsF91hrOFvX5BJ86nuHWTta9gaMMfnqLAJF09z69LHZl1ntny1w6bj0967LpFQDfonCqpKTZRBYOMsGFZbQPuc=s3888" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="2592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhKCXm3DWnwr8bg2LGOxelq_xfHubakmoOBBy9IwHMhXAfIoD9t1R6MH3IOc5TiKGQ9AXkXYOxRUQqjSNLna2uxgkpWWZIuKLK7zeXsF91hrOFvX5BJ86nuHWTta9gaMMfnqLAJF09z69LHZl1ntny1w6bj0967LpFQDfonCqpKTZRBYOMsGFZbQPuc=s16000" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1_3yNYDaRCmJuZauXtXBoWyCOvZVgSqlxJcn2nrhqUIuHYSmJPL2b--XZukmdMPm5dBsaTd-0ygz44N20APk8N-kniN4kbw02BiW5SIOWi1DTINzUtwDl2VRC4hIf3eKv1cE-2qDU_Dwqsd04y1g7lf-kxBRWMb8QFSTa0VFkcu9paNlPXzNBUnWF=s3888" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="2592" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1_3yNYDaRCmJuZauXtXBoWyCOvZVgSqlxJcn2nrhqUIuHYSmJPL2b--XZukmdMPm5dBsaTd-0ygz44N20APk8N-kniN4kbw02BiW5SIOWi1DTINzUtwDl2VRC4hIf3eKv1cE-2qDU_Dwqsd04y1g7lf-kxBRWMb8QFSTa0VFkcu9paNlPXzNBUnWF=s16000" /></a></div><br /><p>Sweater, Dress, Shoes - Zara | Bag - Dharavi market ( Dooney & Bourke ) , almost a decade old. </p><p><br /></p><p>Till next time , </p><p>XOXO</p><p><br /></p>ILA JOHARIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11730060880642995250noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874079157018745651.post-13946554013992229532020-11-09T18:50:00.007+05:302020-11-09T18:50:49.708+05:30{ F.A.S.H.I.O.N } The Bohemian Diwali- A series of Self-portraits <p> </p><p>9 months into the pandemic and we've all found our own tricks to work from home. While i have been majorly creating content from home since 2 + years , i used to travel for shoots, trend discovery, brand events/meetings for my work . While most of my work is stitched end to end by me - the added responsibility of being my own photographer 24x7 has been exciting yet challenging at the same time ! Shooting in the 4 walls of my Mumbai apartment , not a challenge i don't like ,even though there's just 2-3 walls as backdrops . For the first 6-7 months, most sunlight filtered through my bedroom- now you know why my instagram feed is full of bedroom shots! With the sudden change in weather post Dussehra, the lights changed their way! They now shine in full glory in the drawing room. Which means i have now shifted my shoot backdrop to the drawing room!I am literally dancing to the tunes of mother nature till i invest in artificial light . I am not sure what is stopping me but sunlight has to be my most favourite filter ever. This entire series of course is shot in the new backdrop which is my drawing room with my camera resting on the dining table ! I know , i am beginning to sound very "Jugaadu"- but thats me! Yet to add a full-length tripod too! </p><p>While i do this, I have come across so many young girls on the gram who are nailing the self-portrait game! Who knew it would become a fad ! This year has brought in a lot of learnings and unexpected trends for sure! </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoy this festive series - All too bohemian, easy to wear and Re-wear! For the first two looks , I have styled a skirt which first made appearance on the blog in 2015. You can read about it in this post! </p><p>I still remember how head over heels i was over this skirt which came as a set. It was expensive then but right now i can only say it was totally worth it. The number of re-wear looks i can do with it is endless! If you build a wardrobe with solid colors, they continue to look unique - because unlike prints , they don't end up easily in the human memory ! To everyone looking for sustainable options, remember that an outfit with maximum re-wears qualifies too! I don't see myself parting with this one for sure! </p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Look 1:</span></b> I paired the skirt with this structured sleeve zara blouse ! Puffed sleeves and a structured shoulder add the necessary drama without the frills! You could wear a choker or style with an embroidered bib necklace like i did- this one from PROMOD. They did some really amazing accessories earlier! You could even wear this outfit to a sangeeta if you are to attend one during this lockdown- stay safe!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MTJa1p0xp9o/X6lBs-DM-HI/AAAAAAAAIDs/DuPM-hbe3EEOlv14LCrHqEAKnR_nLmZHACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_8671%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MTJa1p0xp9o/X6lBs-DM-HI/AAAAAAAAIDs/DuPM-hbe3EEOlv14LCrHqEAKnR_nLmZHACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/IMG_8671%2B2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PR1d5tw8VrA/X6lBbaS8qyI/AAAAAAAAIDI/jo22DKuf6nIBPwy04CpwQ_4DgcW3fWgfQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/17A3B8BD-2BB0-4F95-BD78-9E21D5A640D1%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PR1d5tw8VrA/X6lBbaS8qyI/AAAAAAAAIDI/jo22DKuf6nIBPwy04CpwQ_4DgcW3fWgfQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/17A3B8BD-2BB0-4F95-BD78-9E21D5A640D1%2B2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6B4ITKDMr7g/X6lBeuyC9WI/AAAAAAAAIDY/Mhf6gtO0lLgopTURcwvJGfJLR7oWSeaZwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/566AEA09-CD3A-424D-B12B-1CCD9A71F025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1566" data-original-width="2048" height="490" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6B4ITKDMr7g/X6lBeuyC9WI/AAAAAAAAIDY/Mhf6gtO0lLgopTURcwvJGfJLR7oWSeaZwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h490/566AEA09-CD3A-424D-B12B-1CCD9A71F025.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TQXqaLqI25o/X6lBeh2orZI/AAAAAAAAIDg/lcf1Swv0MFsTYdpbhq3DKM9HLLCbY3d6gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/6386FF8E-EAD3-4DC2-B5B0-E5C3D6193F55%2B2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TQXqaLqI25o/X6lBeh2orZI/AAAAAAAAIDg/lcf1Swv0MFsTYdpbhq3DKM9HLLCbY3d6gCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/6386FF8E-EAD3-4DC2-B5B0-E5C3D6193F55%2B2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Look 2</span></b>: This is my favourite look because of the accessory overload and the fluid dupatta layered with the skirt . The skirt has a zipper and a hook and hence it looks pretty neat up there! If it had an elastic, the look would've been a bit fluffy. The duppata is special - its part of the anarkali set which i wore for my Roka / Bata Pakki ceremony 8 years ago! Me and Nikunj had a crazy time selecting the kurta visiting every market in Bombay! Over 10,000 visits and then we ended up liking this one! The bangle with the green stone is from 3 years ago . I got it from Maheshwar- the birthplace of Maheshwari silk sarees and a favourite Bollywood shoot location for a lot of aesthetic movies like Bajirao Mastani and Kalank. I spent a great deal of time haggling with the seller who sold this bangle at the ghats. He said this was elephant tusk ! Its banned due to animal cruelty and yet these people think they can fool people! Its quite a statement though! Now, the sterling silver nose- pin and the neckpiece are from FAB-INDIA and this is part of my lockdown sale steal this month! I have never worn a nose pin and this was just to experiment. Not a very comfortable accessory but certainly worked well with my theme! The white metal bag is from Udaipur which was bought in November end last year! It was an expensive street buy but looking at the quality , i think it was totally worth it! What do you think of this look? </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fD2PBIhzaRg/X6k_ysE1RZI/AAAAAAAAICk/CDmu6eMrhhESSqqhfeR27f8Cwkkzwn3tACLcBGAsYHQ/s1098/IMG_8872.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1097" data-original-width="1098" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fD2PBIhzaRg/X6k_ysE1RZI/AAAAAAAAICk/CDmu6eMrhhESSqqhfeR27f8Cwkkzwn3tACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/IMG_8872.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sjQNNiktQE/X6k_j1k_fXI/AAAAAAAAICU/97_Wb_iBWGIud7hFL0dUH0H6NLsABMMLACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/26AD4118-B9DF-4011-B983-D5C59FED0E75.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sjQNNiktQE/X6k_j1k_fXI/AAAAAAAAICU/97_Wb_iBWGIud7hFL0dUH0H6NLsABMMLACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/26AD4118-B9DF-4011-B983-D5C59FED0E75.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Vu-_gcDorc/X6k_jthgUxI/AAAAAAAAICQ/WOwNYsGFA_wGCCVPc71mY8vnngxB0ixGQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/32334AF1-5811-44C2-804F-13F07C41D19B.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Vu-_gcDorc/X6k_jthgUxI/AAAAAAAAICQ/WOwNYsGFA_wGCCVPc71mY8vnngxB0ixGQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/32334AF1-5811-44C2-804F-13F07C41D19B.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MNxV1wuBMe8/X6k_kmMGvRI/AAAAAAAAICY/4f8phNjq1uA0902IFEN36FhfYcPBBnzUACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/937417FD-431E-4BC8-9C93-F4956D144B60.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gbu-3jjoRZ4/X6k_lfWIf1I/AAAAAAAAICg/wr0ICGHHBTQiqUqfHicNhIRPzleODZ9uwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/A6424928-B1C4-4E06-9656-8DED96397CE1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gbu-3jjoRZ4/X6k_lfWIf1I/AAAAAAAAICg/wr0ICGHHBTQiqUqfHicNhIRPzleODZ9uwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/A6424928-B1C4-4E06-9656-8DED96397CE1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gYlz7ZpnwVU/X6lAPqMwQHI/AAAAAAAAIC4/7N5Sdu84EaUncyjswmbujBQflkIXVqlIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/937417FD-431E-4BC8-9C93-F4956D144B60.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1551" data-original-width="2048" height="484" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gYlz7ZpnwVU/X6lAPqMwQHI/AAAAAAAAIC4/7N5Sdu84EaUncyjswmbujBQflkIXVqlIwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h484/937417FD-431E-4BC8-9C93-F4956D144B60.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yyuWpzhIBlU/X6lA8YZ4kFI/AAAAAAAAIDA/1LbHZ9CTKn4Ix4LmVGHlKvTIE1ydh2tXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/3CABC6A1-F5B5-47C6-932C-7D7F90D9D8D3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yyuWpzhIBlU/X6lA8YZ4kFI/AAAAAAAAIDA/1LbHZ9CTKn4Ix4LmVGHlKvTIE1ydh2tXQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/3CABC6A1-F5B5-47C6-932C-7D7F90D9D8D3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Till next time, CIAO! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>ILA JOHARIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11730060880642995250noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874079157018745651.post-63280544832931708212020-08-31T20:46:00.002+05:302020-09-01T18:47:21.092+05:30{ E.D.I.T.O.R.I.A.L } An autumnal paradise<p> </p><p>Today should have been the day for our 9th Blog anniversary post - but i am keeping this treat as a pre-cursor because well, I promised ! </p><p>Honestly , I could go on an expedition to find that remote that will help me to fast-forward to December of 2020 ( hoping that would be a better phase for the whole world !) . I decided to go slow, and bring around some autumnal vibes instead. We shot this beautiful editorial in a place that felt right out of my parisian dreams ! In the lovely city of Pretoria , South Africa , when the weather was chilly and the autumnal leaves decorated the sky before falling down and crisping under my feet like wafers! Shooting in a different country has a different set of challenges but this day, I will always remember ! It was dreamy and the place looked even better than the pictures thanks to the autumnal beauty ! All this while, I couldn't decide between the 100 good shots taken by Mandy. She was a delight to work with but later we couldnt seem to work together which made me sad. But sometimes, despite everything being perfect , things don't work out. Not complaining because this shoot is one of my most favourite ever and perfect to welcome the autumn season soon ! WARNING: THE MOST PHOTO HEAVY POST on our blog ever! Tell me if you have a favourite shot?</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ruz0mhNZSyo/X00T9v1nxaI/AAAAAAAAH_Y/uW3MOC4MgYc6PVU02YtcYkd7f6CKxciZQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_7074.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

At least we thought 2020 sounded futuristic and the most transformational. But well, nature had its own " transformational" plans and we are at its mercy . All of us who made those travel bucket lists , got a huge jolt and thats really nothing as compared to everyone who has been deeply impacted due to the virus. </p><p>But this year has taught us "GRATITUDE" in abundance. I am thankful everyday for a healthy life, an opportunity to still continue to hold on to what i love most - blogging and creating content . This month we complete 9 years and there's a ton of fabulous SELF-SHOT posts & IRRESISTIBLE giveaways coming your way as i explore the future of fashion post the pandemic. Do not forget to catch up with every post on instagram as well and stay tuned for announcements on my stories! </p><p>Just before the lockdown began , I was in Goa and goodness, am i thankful for that! It was my birthday and i had decided to quickly make this trip as well as planned some shoots. Who knew this would be the last travel ( so far ) and the last outdoor shoot! 2019 has been very unfortunate for me professionally as well as personally due to these health issues - my lower back as well as the dreaded viral infection on my face that finally went away in June 2020- an entire year! Its the reason why i was not able to create much content despite blogging full-time. Yet, I took chances and shot outdoors despite my face being full of the lesions in February . It was not only embarrassing but dissatisfying as my face was swollen due to the infection throughout the year. It wasn't the face I was used to but nonetheless i accepted it with all my grit and continued on my goals. And I am glad I did that. This was my idea of lounging in 2020 and well, i have been lounging for a lot of 2020 inside my head ! I guess you are too? Hoping for the real deal now , haha . </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ppeekoOH9kQ/Xzk7hA09ibI/AAAAAAAAH8o/LJc7r4hSW243uklbYcTeybkvk9MhCK48wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/2E1A6CBD-3090-40A2-BD2B-5B4C4C35163D-AE99C5B4-B3A1-447C-9CF8-44114F9C28A5.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

I.O.N } Patching up with 2020<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Hello People!<br />
<br />
<br />2020 is a strange year. Almost like a thriller novel. A mystery everyone wants to solve. A nightmare everyone wants to get out of ! And in all this, we are finding ways to preserve our sanity! </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">A lot of us are buried neck-deep in "Work" of all kinds. Even the summers went by without us enjoying a holiday, and so its important to plan A BREAK if not a holiday ! We can never replace travel , but can surely get our dopamine fix with some creative DIY ! </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The nature is in revenge mode and we know that our consumption choices are under the radar more than ever . As a conscious generation, its time to go SLOW. And this applies to fashion as well. Does that mean we need to STOP BUYING FAST fashion? The good news is - there's another post coming up on that and the answer is coming in that post ! But this post will show you ways of sprucing up your most used DENIMS and elongate their lifespan even more !</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Patchwork denims are rarely manufactured , and if you are a bohemian at heart, this DIY will totally be your jam! When i posted these denims on my instagram, most of you were intrigued and i couldn't see options similar to this! So i came up with this DIY trick, so you can create yours! <br />
<br />
These cloth-patchwork denims got special love from you when I first put the trial room selfie on instagram in 2017 . I spotted this in Zara sale and didn't see this in any other Zara outlet in the whole of Bombay- so hurried to try it on . There were only 2 sizes left. The other was a size smaller. I was skeptical because its not the regular denim and cannot be worn at all times. However my bohemian heart was already head over heels. When i tried the size which was 2 inches smaller than my original , it squeezed my butt & tummy in an uncomfortable way ! To top it, it wasn't elastic. I walked to and fro- sat inside the trial room thinking it would expand like a miracle. 10 mins. Nothing happened, haha . I asked the Zara folks to help me with the next size or check availability in other stores. Alas, their servers went down and they couldn't track either information. I kept the denim back from where i picked it. I spoke to the zara folks again- Does this shrink further on wash? The guy was like- I am sure you wear denims- they always expand. But I was in still in two minds- what if it didn't expand! Its a high waist style - So its pushing my tummy in and making me uncomfortable! I almost walked out of the store and i looked at it again. I ran back again , picked it and back to the billing counter !!! HAHA. I was not going home without these.<br /><br />
<br />You can have this denim style in a day's time or maybe an hour!!!<br />
<br />
How?<br />
<br />
1. Pick any denim from your wardrobe <br />
2. Cut square/triangular cloth pieces out of your favourite old cotton blouses/ pillow covers or sheets (Printed or solids ).<br />
3. Use Fabric glue to stick them ( EASY) or if you are a stitching pro- just sew it on!<br />
<br />
And done! <br />
If you are a guy reading this, why not try this trend as well. Pair with a leather jacket for the colder months . I would love to see your DIY project. Share it with me!</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b>SHOTS from August 2017:</b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KwtKAK6yRDg/Xw8Ym7IoSpI/AAAAAAAAH7A/QKWWFNUyZX4kvbkRwfObdDlRngkbrvFPgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/7ACDD8F9-A789-4C48-B437-0984D020AED4-222B09B0-4D95-4FBD-8234-5417196EE5AB.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="indian fashion blog" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1362" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KwtKAK6yRDg/Xw8Ym7IoSpI/AAAAAAAAH7A/QKWWFNUyZX4kvbkRwfObdDlRngkbrvFPgCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/7ACDD8F9-A789-4C48-B437-0984D020AED4-222B09B0-4D95-4FBD-8234-5417196EE5AB.JPG" title="patchwork denim" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vo81mVX5G5s/Xw8Ym0Q2ELI/AAAAAAAAH7E/LoXmU81OIZcLGWYUdiLV9lBeXlCX4r_IQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/ADE96421-8C17-48CE-ADE8-D469F60E1CA6-9FAEC5C2-4E9A-4B14-99E0-78A3599B3D7E.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1362" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vo81mVX5G5s/Xw8Ym0Q2ELI/AAAAAAAAH7E/LoXmU81OIZcLGWYUdiLV9lBeXlCX4r_IQCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/ADE96421-8C17-48CE-ADE8-D469F60E1CA6-9FAEC5C2-4E9A-4B14-99E0-78A3599B3D7E.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q90lSYQOOUY/Xw8YnIE-FEI/AAAAAAAAH7I/5_Wb1v1ijl4p59YEa9EbMSf7F5NESUNbQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/B7896389-B813-4406-B59A-43A0F0C9BB06-619DF797-BCFD-4D5C-8CFE-9B8BB753776B.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1616" data-original-width="2048" height="504" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q90lSYQOOUY/Xw8YnIE-FEI/AAAAAAAAH7I/5_Wb1v1ijl4p59YEa9EbMSf7F5NESUNbQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h504/B7896389-B813-4406-B59A-43A0F0C9BB06-619DF797-BCFD-4D5C-8CFE-9B8BB753776B.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

Hello Folks!<br />
<br />
<br />
As I write my first post of the fabulous year 2020 , I am surprised at how 2020 is so much like 2010 except that we buy literally everything over the internet, mobile internet is accessible to everyone with rock bottom prices, countless international brands have made their foray into the indian market and more people are running marathons to keep fit ! Ok, thats a huge shift but then as a kid ,2020 sounded very Space-age to me and i believed some of us would be living on the Moon or perhaps Mars and that i would be visiting them or at least making some advance booking for spaceships . But in Bombay, we brought the "Moon and Mars" condition upon us ! Yes, the endless craters on our roads and diversions which make people restless and they drive like the game ROAD RASH!<br />
<br />
That aside, there is an increasing awareness of pollution and single-use plastic . We have definitely come a long way ! In 2010, straws and cups and poly bags would be scattered everywhere and now people are taking action ! All is not lost , we are just slow. Changes don't come easy, but when they do , there is action. That is a welcome change ! And with that hope i begin 2020 with a retro trend " Polka dots" because fashion is cyclical. Since 2018 we have been obsessed with all things in the past . So much so that we use apps like HUJI cam to convert our modern looks into retro with the filters!<br />
Headbands, hair clips, baggy pants - we just seem to be yearning to belong to the 70s , 80s and the 90s ! So here we are - another year of cyclical trends and a lot of "BLUE" ( Pantone color of the year) . That actually sums up my wardrobe for 2020 because i love blue ( Check my instagram feed if you want to know what i mean ) .<br />

Let me tell you a secret, I visit Instagram geolocations before i visit a city every single time . In 2019 ( almost 2020) , thats a safe way to asses if your itinerary is Insta-worthy! Isn't it? Tell me, you haven't done so?<br />
<br />
While i believe insta-worthy is more for vanity , its important that a place has a "SOUL", a vibe that makes you want to stay and come back again . Some places may just look good on the gram but actually deliver nothing ! My definition of INSTA-worthy is a location that packs in indescribable beauty as well as a soul. A story, a history, a passion. I have done lists on "TOP 5 Things to do " for some of my favourite cities across the globe on the blog . This series is an extension of the same . Just replace "THINGS TO DO" with "INSTA-WORTHY" as these are not just beautiful places but a lot more than that! Next time you are in Udaipur ( Please make it between November - February ) , this is your foolproof itinerary , just DON'T FORGET TO TAG ME on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ilawise26/" target="_blank">here</a> and bookmark this post ! Share it on the gram if you love the tips .<br />

<b><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><i>1. Jagmandir Island palace</i></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></b>Jagmandir palace is a charm. Made in marble and dating back to the 1700s, this island palace is more than a piece of striking architecture. There is a certain calm about this palace which makes you instantly at peace and you don't want to leave. Sigh! The last jetty leave starting 6pm from the palace so you can only spend a little time after sunset. The best time to be here is by the 4pm jetty so that there is little sun .<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></b><b><i>How to get there? </i></b><br />
<br />
Access is via City palace. There are hourly jetty that ply to the palace . Last jetty is at 5pm and return at 6pm. The walk from city palace entrance to the jetty is a good 7-10 minutes and you can buy tickets near the jetty point as well as city palace entrance . If you buy them inside the city palace, you will need to buy a city complex entrance ticket of Rs.30per person. Jetty tickets were Rs.800 including taxes for each person in November 2019 . If you wish to splurge ,you can take a private jetty as well . However, the small distance is not worth the splurge.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span><b><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><i>2. Monsoon palace ( Sajjangarh)</i></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></b>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Palaces are all about grandeur and size. But this little palace is small wonder. Perched high up on a hilltop this became a hunting lodge/monsoon hangout of the Maharanas . Can you believe it was primarily conceptualised as an observatory but it couldn't end up like one. Nonetheless, the fascinating scenery from this palace is nothing short of a visual treat - dense vegetation , undulating hills, glistening lakes, clear blue skies and fresh air - no wonder it makes you feel you are somewhere romantic except for the monkeys who often come claiming their vantage viewpoints ! I have visited here thrice in the last 3 years and every time i go, i come back with an urge to spend more time again ! </div>

<br /></div>
<b><i>How to get there?</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Rickshaw</b> : Rickshaw drops you at the bottom of the hill entrance . From there you can pay and go in shared cabs of the palace authorities. The vehicles in 2017 were rickety jeep which have now been changed to closed SUVs. Last SUV gets back at 6pm as the palace closes.<br />
<br />
<b>Uber </b>: Uber drops you at the bottom however if you would like to take it up the hill you will have to pay vehicle entry charges of Rs. 200.<br />
<br />
<b>Private Cab </b>: If you use your private vehicle or UBER HIRE, you can take it uphill and need to pay Rs. 200 for its entry. This option is convenient if you wish to stay longer till 7pm as the cafeteria upstairs can be used till 7pm .<br />

No Udaipur trip is complete without the city place that portrays the royal saga of this land. The massive compound has multiple points that can be used for great photos with no restriction. All you need to do is get the complex ticket worth Rs. 30 pp and you can wander inside the complex. This doesn't include entry to the palace museum which is basically where the Maharanas actually lived. The museum is another stunning place for great photos especially the blue wall which is a signature of this palace. The museum ticket is a steep Rs. 300 so make the most of it by starting your trip at least by 1pm and end by 5pm when it closes. </div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></b><i><b>How to get there?</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>All roads lead to the city palace in Udaipur , just kidding but really . I prefer staying around Gangour ghat so that the palace is at a walking distance. But if you stay in other parts of the city, you may need to take a rickshaw as cabs are mostly not allowed in the narrow alleyways of this old town ( a major hindrance ) . Also, haggling for the right price with rickshawallas is therefore a huge problem as they know cabs are not allowed ! If you choose to take a cab , it will drop you around Chandpole and sometimes jagdish temple and you can walk upto a km to get to the palace.<br />

<b><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><i>4. Badi Lake { Bahubali hill }</i></span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It took me 3 visits to Udaipur to discover this hidden gem. Rightly so because its not in the city. Thanks to an article which helped me discover this ! Its in a village named Badi which is not commercialised in any way except that when you reach the lake, they have constructed a promenade with a Rs.20 fee which makes you believe humans visit. But until then , the roads make you feel you're headed to a deserted place ! Not a vehicle in sight except for few farmers carrying produce . But once you reach Bahubali hilltop after a 15 minute hike, it turns out to be another place you don't wanna leave. Surrounded by hills, unique 360 degree views of the lake cutting through the hills, Tall and artistic cacti and the not so exotic ants . I would spend another morning here , if it wasn't for the dreadful kachcha roads. There is a little shack selling chips and other snacks along with water but i recommend you take your own water bottles as you will need them . Spend a sunrise here or maybe early hours because once it gets sunny its beyond bearable ! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b><i>How to get there?</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Rickshaw</b> : There won't be any rickshaw at badi and so you need to strike a deal with an Udaipur rickshawalla. We made a Rs. 700 return with one hour stop at the hill top. Remember, if you say badi lake , its the promenade and you won't see views like this picture. For this hill , you need to ask for Bahubali Hill when you are making the deal as its a little ahead of the promenade. There is a parking below the hill and then you can hike up using the foot trail . Don't expect signs on the way. Hence its recommended to visit only in daylight ! The roads leading to the place are so raw that you will take 20-30 mins in the rickshaw from Udaipur's old town ( Jagdish temple ) . Those with a back problem, be prepared.<br />
<br />
<b>Uber :</b> Uber doesnt ply here so you might want to book a private cab which drops you and brings you back .<br />

Besides the litter that is created by pigeons & worshipers at Gangour, everything about this little Ghat is soothing.

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As an engineer , I yearn for all things innovation & technology but somewhere in my heart I secretly wish to turn back time only to see how people lived through the centuries ! Kolkata is one such place where a part of it is stopped in the 19th century . </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br />
</span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I visited the Salt lake area back in 2006 when i was working with Cognizant. Due to a hairline fracture in my ankle i could only explore between office & our stay. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I longed to see the Kolkata people documented in their stories especially the ones i read by Rabindranath Tagore. 13 years later ( and that sounds like an eternity) I seized the opportunity to visit Kolkata - perks of being your own boss! I lined up some shoots and made a mini itinerary to see Old kolkata in 3 days & most importantly enjoy all culinary delights raved by bongs . </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br />
</span></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">For reference i was on Pinterest and stumbled upon this striking shot with narrow bent lanes and rustic colourful houses upto a floor. I was shooting with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/arpitr93/" target="_blank">Arpit</a> and he told me it could be Shyam Bazaar. Without prior recce, we took our chances and landed randomly on the streets dressed this way at 7.30 am. Though we couldn't find the exact lane, I was happy with what i saw. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br />
</span></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As i walked deeper into the lanes, it felt like entering a time warp probably the 19th century. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">IAnd then i spotted what was ruling my moodboard - The hand pulled rickshaw . </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br />
</span></span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This hand-pulled rickshaw here is an example of how between Uber and autos , a human powered vehicle still finds its place . A feeling of joy ( because this is one of the last cities in the world to still use one ) and a feeling of sadness ( because seeing a human carry another human breaking his back is just unnecessary pain ) - this hand pulled rickshaw tells me all that is old is only PARTIALLY gold . No matter how much I romanticise the idea of wanting to live the old times , such sights would only sadden me . </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">And if you’ve reached till here : let me tell you what actually happened while we shot this </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">BTS:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">——</span><br />
<br style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-size: 14px;">The man standing with a polybag to the extreme left was sitting somewhere while I admired the rickshaw . Suddenly an old lady in a green saree came out of her house asking to be carried away in the rickshaw and the man started to approach the rickshaw . I couldnt believe this was for real as i saw barely anyone riding the rickshaws. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-size: 14px;">I quickly snapped out of my disbelief & requested him if I could take pictures before he drove away . Both the lady and he readily obliged .</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Many a vehicles crossed our way as we tried to get the shots right. Time passed. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I drifted into a different world as the rickshaw guy and the lady both disappeared from my mind and our frame - no words spoken - least bothered about the passing time - that’s Kolkata for you .</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br />

<br />
<br />
For someone like me who wore denims to her cousin's weddings as a teenager, Indian outfits didn't even come a close second! Infact , someone in the family jokingly said , "She will wear denims to her own wedding!". Fast forward 2019, I am a very experimental person when it comes to fashion. I get bored easily with the same kind of outfits and always look for a change ! I am attracted to all things "ART". If i see art in an outfit, my heart gushes with joy! It doesn't matter then if its an embroidered denim or an embroidered Kurta. Art elevates! I have realised how refreshing the wardrobe , refreshes the mood and sometimes even the whole Work-plan!<br />
<br />
Its been 3 years, Come September and i start planning festive content for the blog. A brand tells me , But, We don't see you often in Indian wear-- we checked your instagram - we don't think this will work. Well, I think its all about the perspective - if you feel good in an outfit , the content speaks for itself ! Also the fact that I get regular requests for indian wear from readers on instagram only reassures me of the love these posts will receive ! So here i am- Ready to receive all the love in my cosy chic indian outfits this season! Bring it on and get yourself a wardrobe refresh just like me - In pretty airy Cottons and lush embroidery - <a href="https://shopmulmul.com/" target="_blank">MULMUL</a> ships worldwide ! Every piece in their collection is droolworthy and i am not kidding when i say this! I showed this collection to Nik, and he's like - Wow - this is another level - if only more people wore this! I am wearing this piece from their New collection "WINDSOR" - The Mulmul Hazel kurta and Bellbottoms ( <a href="https://shopmulmul.com/collections/kurtas/products/mulmul-hazel-top-1" target="_blank">Click here)</a><br />

<br />
This post is dedicated to all my Instagram readers who consistently requested ethnic wear on the page for this festive season !<br />
<br />
While some stylish indian fashion is going to hit the blog soon( Keep an eye) , i thought it'd be best to do a simple and more wearable version for the celebrations !<br />
<br />
I went ahead and shopped my wardrobe to create this look! But there is a little secret and i got caught today t! Haha , Moms you know ! My mom is very much on social media and when i posted the first look she called me and asked if the brand gifted this Kurta. I told her i actually bought it . ( It was actually for her) .<br />
She was in disbelief because i am the last person to buy kurtas! So yes, this is what i got for her and it is a SIZE XL. Now , let me tell you i also tried my own size which is size M because i just loved this kurta . Figured it looked more elegant with more fabric and that was a size L or XL. So i bought this in an XL and shot the look as well and she caught me before i could tell her , haha. Turns out , she loved it on me so we might occasionally swap! What say? Also , i will totally recommend up-sizing for these asymmetric styles ! You will be pleasantly surprised just like me !<br />

<br />
Hello beautiful people!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6-Nq87RuQck/XXfjLabPScI/AAAAAAAAHqo/D6YwRj2yyFsdCA5XM7trttzylvXeUALdACLcBGAs/s1600/E178E257-DC71-4B4E-9804-573224DF85EC.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="902" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6-Nq87RuQck/XXfjLabPScI/AAAAAAAAHqo/D6YwRj2yyFsdCA5XM7trttzylvXeUALdACLcBGAs/s800/E178E257-DC71-4B4E-9804-573224DF85EC.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
When Shubdha sent me this dress as part of her new Sustainable collection , it was a surprise again !<br />
And what a brilliant surprise- this dress screamed retro with an indian twist .You know my love for all things retro! I never leave an opportunity to create something that opens an old time capsule . So while i did my research , I came across this <a href="https://mymodernmet.com/womens-fashion-history/" target="_blank">article</a> on the evolution of women's dressing and this style was very 1950s indeed, except that it had Indian elements like the Angarkha Neck and dainty floral embroidery- such a delight .<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-32BXrImKcJg/XXYGwwydTDI/AAAAAAAAHqg/n9B5xBY3Gs0mgJy-TRn_O0IUdrOVhwQfwCLcBGAs/s1600/womens-fashion-history-24.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="208" data-original-width="750" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-32BXrImKcJg/XXYGwwydTDI/AAAAAAAAHqg/n9B5xBY3Gs0mgJy-TRn_O0IUdrOVhwQfwCLcBGAs/s1600/womens-fashion-history-24.png" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
And so began the task of searching a retro location and what better than a Movie set which was made to mimick the 1950s ! This set was made for a movie and is now open to public on weekends ! Oh google, how I love you ! About an hour's drive from Johannesburg , this makes for a great photo location . However, there is nothing to do here except take pictures. Its a really small set and houses a cafe with milkshakes. If you happen to go here for a shoot, you can go to Harteebeespoort town next door to enjoy the dam as well as visit the cafes around!<br />
<br />
<br />
This was my last shoot in South Africa and it was a bitter sweet moment ! I was in pain due to lower back issues, the skin virus that still hasn't left and the task of shifting countries again! Nonetheless , the show must go on ! And this dress, uplifted my mood as you can see . I finally smiled because this dress was such a joy - cosy organic cotton layers and that fabulous flare - Enjoy the pictures. And no matter which part of the world you are reading from , Juanita ships worldwide. Isn't that awesome! NOW NOW, if you did read till here, I have to give you a BIG BIG HUG and air kisses because , i think the world of blogging with words is becoming passe. Tell me what do you think ?<br />
<br />
Do you think i should continue to write along with my pictures or just put pictures on the blog? Its easy for me because writing can take more energy than a shoot sometimes ! And if you answer this question in the comments and have read till here - YOU KNOW YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE <3 p=""><br />

<div>
Hello beautiful people</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am back to India and what better than a style post with indian wear to start this new innings. </div>
<div>
As much as i missed the wonderful Indian spices, i missed the overflowing cloth markets! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In countries outside india, malls are the only places where you get clothes. Its only in India that we have such a huge variety of locally made clothes, fleamarkets , fashion boutiques and the likes! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whenever i did see designer pop-ups in South africa , the clothes made from cotton were at a premium. We don't realise how we take our lovingly cultivated cotton for granted which otherwise comes at a premium price tag in other countries. Its because we live in abundance ! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Synthetic fabrics are everywhere and easy to work with , but the real gems are these handwoven fabrics. India not only has an abundance of cotton, but also skilled weavers who create wearable melodies out of them . </div>
<div>
Putting their work on the forefront and creating slow fashion pieces you'll treasure is what i love most about <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Shubhdapriyam/" target="_blank">JUANITA</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just about everything she creates is simple yet regal . As always she picked this Khadi linen Kurta from her latest collection and it was a surprise until it reached me. Those who have been following me for a while know that i wear indian styles only on festive occasions , but Juanita makes me fall in love with Indian-wear irrespective of occasions ! Remember the chanderi silk suit? See <a href="http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com/2019/05/namaste-juanita.html" target="_blank">here </a>if you haven't. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have cinched this burgundy Kurta at the waist with a belt and i totally love this silhouette . The pants look regal in their Bananas silk weave and i can totally see myself wearing them with a white blouse too! I have not worn any statement pieces in this look because the statement sleeves and the silk pants are a statement in themselves ! </div>
<div>
When you wear a Juanita , everything looks effortlessly chic ! Hope you love the look as much as i did !Also , can you tell I shot this in a funny 13 degree weather with a strong sun! </div>

<br />
<br />
Here is the second look of the Caravan diaries editorial . It was so much fun talking about the lesser known Caravan culture of South Africa in the first post of this series. If you missed it, don't forget to click<a href="http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com/2019/08/editorial-caravan-diaries-i.html" target="_blank"> here</a> . This series is a take on the modern traveler who loves to travel the gypsy way, stopping at every beautiful sight ( Just like we did during our shoot in Dullstroom , South Africa ) and soaking in all that the senses can experience . Dressed in their overused T-shirts /cargo pants/denims you can spot them from a distance , but we at TFMQ would love to share some ideas on how you can be a CHIC backpacker- the gypsy way !<br />
<br />
<br />
The modern WANDERER's wardrobe<br />
_______________________________<br />
<br />
If you are a backpacker , its likely that you love " messy " and wear whatever you carry in your backpack. I am about to break the myth that a backpacker or a "CARAVAN TRAVELER" cannot be<br />
stylish. The trick is to carry a lot of pieces in thin fabrics to create a variety of combinations instead of one HEAVY DENIM /cargo pants + jumpers and some STATEMENT accessories .<br />
The statement accessory : my " Flower hairband "is all it took to create an eccentric yet dressy vibe in this look !<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ABOUT THIS LOOK:<br />
__________________<br />
<br />
<br />
To imitate the wardrobe of a backpacker , I have used a pyjama pant and a semi-formal blazer- both super light-weight and breezy. Also, they were both bought a couple of years ago . The blazer is a gift by Nik which he picked up on his trip to China and the pant is a flea market find.<br />
<br />
Now lets come to the star pieces of this look - The embellished net Bralet ( picked in last ZARA sale) and the flower crown hairband ( WOOLWORTHS). Both the bralet and the hairband instantly make this look super chic. There is barely any weight these two would add to the luggage and yet they pack so much punch. Look for embellished or sequinned crop tops which you can use to layer for a trip like this! For accessories, hair accessories are having their moment right now and every high street store is full of choices right from scarf scrunchies, pearl barrettes , embellished hair-pins to oversized hairbands. Take your pick and don't forget to pack them for your next backpack travels !<br />

Hello beautiful people !<br />
<br />
Firstly thanks to my instagram family who voted for the name of this series because i was really confused . This series has two looks and both are bohemian in nature. I love bohemian styling and this was the style i wore extensively in my graduation years !<br />
<br />
When you hear the word "bohemian" OR "gypsy", you instantly conjure up images of someone who wanders or travels on long journeys by road and wears a mish-mash of accessories. The looks i created in this editorial series are subtly bohemian and very wearable . This look is shot in johannesburg while the other is shot in Dullstroom- my favourite village in South Africa!<br />
<br />
THE CARAVAN CULTURE OF SOUTH AFRICA<br />
__________________________________________<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been wary of road travel all my life but ever since i came to South Africa , my idea of road travel took a U-turn! The roads here are some of the best in the world, sometimes rivalling those in Europe. Those who are still confused - South Africa is a country in Africa and not the southern region of Africa ! So yes, this country is very different from the rest of Africa and resembles life in europe albeit a bit cheaper!<br />
<br />
Most tourists who travel to South africa wouldn't even know what I'm talking about until they see it for themselves ! Caravan culture is huge in South africa. Road travel is the most common mode of transport between cities and holidaying the old world style is as natural as breathing for the white south africans . I did try unearthing some articles on the history of caravans in this country but unfortunately not much is written about it. Its as if, this was as normal as owning a house !<br />
<br />
<br />
I had never seen real caravan carriages in my life . But in Johannesburg , towards the end of the year - caravans are the most common sight ! Camping is huge in this country and the lack of a train network for public transport or buses has people taking up holidaying to an all new level ( OR shall i say old level?) . For me caravans existed in history and story books . But its only here i realised they are as common as having your own car ! The love for camping also stems from the fact that this country has the most faboulous outdoors and most importantly its clean!<br />
<br />
Every family goes on their annual holiday in their cars tugging along a caravan unit. At first it was a bit overwhelming when i saw every other car tugging a little luggage unit behind or a small caravan. I do see it as a road risk but then so many of them going their way made me comfortable with their sight ! I did feel like i was living in the 50s, such is the charm of south africa ! And this editorial series combines my bohemian styling with the experience of Caravans as an observer - not a user . I still traveled without caravans because it took me a while to digest this was real! So if you are someone who'd love to enjoy this kind of travel , this whole equipment is available for rent in major cities - Go for it!<br />
<br />
<br />
ABOUT THIS LOOK:<br />
____________________<br />
<br />
<br />
Now , this look here is perfect when you want to look feminine and be comfortable at the same time on a road journey. I got this dress on sale in H&M, johannesburg . Lately i am loving dresses from H&M. I love the ruffles and the vintage floral print, not to forget the fabulously ruffled V-neck ! The boots are all over my instagram handle and my favourite recent buys from Delhi's famous Sarojini nagar fleamarket. The earrings are ZARA. I tied my hair to draw attention to the lovely details of this dress and i think it worked. Also, watch out for the next look as it features a real caravan ! Yoohoo!<br />

Hello lovely people<br />
<br />
Remember part 1 of the vintage soul? Its been a while so you can head <a href="http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com/2019/04/editorial-vintage-soul-i.html" target="_blank">here</a> and see the blogpost. The second part of the Vintage Soul was shot on the same day in the same Victorian house museum . And so it prompted me to create an old school photo-story instead of just leaving you with pictures. Going a little 1920s as this house has a lot of elements from that era.<br />
<br />
ABOUT THE LOOK:<br />
___________________<br />
<br />
The dress is a flea market find from Sarojini nagar , Delhi and the inspiration behind this whole series. It looked so regal in the shop and it screamed vintage opulence. I knew this dress belonged in a vintage victorian setting and hence began my quest to search a museum that will allow us to shoot this series. I added the embellished headband , the heart shaped necklace, heart shaped earrings ( both Limited edition, Zara) and my maroon velour Mary janes all from Zara to bring that opulence. The gorgeous heart shaped pearl earring is from Globus , i bought a few years ago. The satin purse was gifted by Kerastase India for an event so i don't know the brand as it didn't have a tag. The tights are from my favourite Marks and Spencers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy the photo story!<br />

<br />
<br />
Hey folks!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the final part of my William Morris Editorial and i thought it would only be fitting if you read the idea about this editorial in the first look blogpost of this editorial !<br />
<br />
<br />
" There are so many reasons i came out with this editorial.<br />
<br />
1) The William Morris obsession<br />
2) My love for Dullstroom<br />
3) Never have my editorials been so WEARABLE<br />
<br />
Now , let me take you through the above , one by one. <a href="http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com/2019/06/editorial-william-morris-summer-i.html" target="_blank">READ HERE</a>. "<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>ABOUT THIS LOOK:</u><br />
<b><u><br />
</u></b> Undoubtedly the most loved piece of the William Morris X H&M collaboration , this dress is reigning the hashtag #WilliamMorrisxHM on Instagram . All the girls in the house , if you agree after seeing this post , say YAY! I am really lucky to have got my hands on this dress especially when it was sold out worldwide ! Thank you H&M India . They had only size in it which is Size 8 and i usually wear a UK 10. I asked the girls on instagram if this dress ran true to size and jumped with joy when they said it runs loose ! As you can see here, even size 8 is airy but just perfect. This dress comes with a lining and has the most amazing feel! LOVE it ! I know this one is going to my summer favourite for years to come ! Its that kind of dress, which you'll never discard until it really wears away!<br />
<br />
<br />
We shot this look at 7.30 am in the morning and the temperature was 7 degree until 8 am. I was freezing and while we walked to the dam in dullstroom , i kinda warmed a bit but not enough to sustain !<br />
My expressions are pretty frozen for the same reason ! My eyes watered with the cold wind and my back already gave trouble . Also, i met these sweet horses and instantly included them in the shoot. Its funny their big face scares me. I always feel they can attack me if they get annoyed with my proximity . But the owner assured me they were the kindest animals ever ! But it was a challenge to get my face to rest because of the scare. It was also because i wasn't in a position to run, so i felt stuck , Haha. The horse must be thinking the same !<br />
<br />
<br />
This whole editorial has been shot with a lot of trouble thanks to my frozen lower back - i was barely flexible after the 3 hour drive to this village. But i will remember this 2 day stay at Dullstroom fondly as i had one of my dream editorials shot here ! As always i cannot wait to hear from you . I hope you like it and let me know in the comment box as i prepare to conceptualise the next set of editorials ! I promise you they will be super artsy!<br />

Hey folks!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is part 2 of my William Morris Editorial and i thought it would only be fitting if you read the idea about this editorial in the previous blogpost! So click here to read why i created this editorial series in the first place! Once you have read the post, come back to this photo-heavy post :)<br />
<br />
<br />
" There are so many reasons i came out with this editorial.<br />
<br />
1) The William Morris obsession<br />
2) My love for Dullstroom<br />
3) Never have my editorials been so WEARABLE<br />
<br />
Now , let me take you through the above , one by one. <a href="http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com/2019/06/editorial-william-morris-summer-i.html" target="_blank">READ HERE</a>. " <br />
<br />

<br />
<u>ABOUT THIS LOOK:</u><br />
<br />
Thanks to H&M INDIA website, i could lay hands on this last remaining blazer which is not even my size! While pants were available even in Joburg , they were at a much higher price point and so i got these from india website and they were at 20% off. Funnily enough the pants had to be sized up 2 sizes - beat that! Whats with H&M and its sizes?! You clearly cannot trust them off the online shelf. Glad i tried them in store ! I am a size 10 but i still got size 12 and it worked though not very comfortably as did the 14!<br />
Now, the blazer - the blazer my dear fashionistas is overly oversized ! While i don't know what a size 10 would've looked, this was size 14 and its extremely lose ! Generally for blazers i size up 1 size and it works. So ideally this should have been an ok fit if it was a standard fit - but no! I am not complaining here as i needed this jacket to make my dream look work - so here it is! Don't miss my favourite classic Raybans though and my Kolhapuri chappals peaking! I didn't intend to wear these but my lower back was in a terrible condition. I am wearing my heels too but you won't see them due to the tall grass!<br />

<br />
Hey folks!<br />
<br />
<br />
I had a tough time naming this post. Not because i didn't know what i was doing - but because whatever i was doing was so overwhelming to say the least!<br />
<br />
There are so many reasons i came out with this editorial.<br />
<br />
1) The William Morris obsession<br />
2) My love for Dullstroom<br />
3) Never have my editorials been so WEARABLE <br />
<br />
Now , let me take you through the above , one by one.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1)</span> <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>he William Morris Obsession<span style="font-size: large;"> :</span><br />
<br />
Thanks to the trial room series on my instagram stories, i walked into the H&M store in April to create content. Luckily me eyes fell on these "Morris & Co." merchandise which were a Autumn 2018 Collaboration ! I have not been following H&M since the last year which is exactly why i missed this collaboration ! The price tags were high , so i didn't buy anything immediately . Instead , i went home to read more about it. Turns out i am a William Morris fan- i couldnt stop browsing his designs from the 1800s and couldnt agree more with his ideologies ! Considered one of the greatest designers of his times , he created over 600 designs ! So yes, i am obsessed with his Wallpaper designs which were block printed in his times. One of his favourite pattern - THE PIMPERNEL - is the print that H&M used in two colour-ways . THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART - All 3 looks in this series features the pimpernel print but in a different outfit ! Also, I found the famous dress and pant-suit on SALE on H&M india website & ordered from there. The blouse in this post is a purchase from Johannesburg and i am supremely lucky to have laid hands on the last piece as its SOLD OUT worldwide! Also, all pieces are different from my usual size :D The things we do to grab a piece of art!<br />

<br />
2) <span style="font-size: large;">M</span>y love for Dullstroom<br />
<br />
In our stay so far in Johannesburg , I have visited the quaint village of Dullstroom twice. Each time discovering something enchanting and idyllic. Its a mysterious village with hidden farm estates, hilly terrain, fly-fishing dams and cosy cottages- the stuff of Enid blyton novels . When i saw the Morris & Co X H&M campaign video ( Linked below) , i could imagine my ideal shoot in Dullstroom. Thanks to Nik who agreed with my vision and my photographer Dali (Check his work here ) who was excited to explore the country-side , we set out to explore & capture dullstroom on the lens - this time for 3 days and 2 nights !<br />

<br />
<br />
3) <span style="font-size: large;">N</span>ever have my editorials been so WEARABLE <br />
<br />
Most often , my editorials have a very avant garde vibe about them - something you will see in magazines but not so much in reality ! I create those editorials for the sake of art . However this time, i could see myself creating a reality - an editorial thats enchanting yet achievable . Yes, you can totally wear all of this with ease ! Now , if only you find the last few pieces from this collection!<br />
<br />
<u>ABOUT THIS LOOK:</u><br />
<br />
<br />
This has to be the most wearable piece from the collection and my absolute favourite! How can you not style a blouse a million ways! I adore the neck-tie in this blouse. The neck-tie has been around since the 1700s as documented by several publications. However it was heavily popularised by Coco chanel in her collections in the 1920s and she herself used to wear them . YSL added a silk neck-tie to women's pant suits in the 1970s and further gave it life ! With flouncy sleeves and a flowy fabric - this blouse is truly a 70s vibe coming to life !<br />
If you notice , i have added a 2019 trend-piece to this look - the OVERSIZED HEADBAND.<br />
The famous pink PRADA satin headband is seen everywhere on the gram and so i decided to make a DIY version to make it accessible to all! I used my accessorise silk scarf and wrapped it around my embellished ZARA headband. Thats it ! Hope you like it !<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey folks<br />
<br />
<br />
In the final edition of the Namaste series for this season, I am happy to introduce Pasha, an indian contemporary fashion brand from Jaipur . Think innovative silhouettes inspired by traditional indian wear and the prettiest of floral prints. I have always been this girl uncomfortable in a saree , while most of you i know carry it with a breeze. But when Pasha sent me their designs and i thought i could finally be comfortable in one - though this one is a saree inspired outfit. I was delighted with the different ways in which this could be paired . I really wanted to try an off shoulder blouse but one look at this spaghetti top sent by Inderooh with their gorgeous wrap blouse ( Seen in this post , though the wrap blouse was hidden ) and i knew this was the one! As we were shooting in a park in Johannesburg i had women tell me from far away how nice i looked . That said it all ! Not to forget my Baroque pearl earrings from T&J Boutique on total repeat in this look as well!<br />
<br />
Would you try this outfit and if yes, how would you like to pair it?<br />

<br />
Hey folks!<br />
<br />
Hope you are enjoying the Namaste series with fresh homegrown fashion from India. This shoot is special as its one of my favourite slow fashion brands i have been endorsing from the last one year. I have previously worn it <a href="http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com/2018/12/editorial-songs-of-my-garden.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.thefleamarketqueen.com/2019/01/editorial-songs-of-my-garden-ii.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Don't forget to check those posts and read about our featured designer Shubhda Priyam whose label <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juanita_shubhda/" target="_blank">"Juanita</a>" dishes out elegant pieces in premium handwoven fabrics from Benaras season on season . I cant recommend her classic pieces enough as its super easy to style them with accessories you may already have .<br />
<br />
I shot this look with a frozen back as i couldn't make you wait more for the 3rd in this series . As i walked in this huge park, i kept changing between my flats and my heels to avoid strain on my back. With a snail's pace and my patient photographer , we finally shot this! Oh The things we do for the love of blogging! I am not a salwar kurta fan but when i saw this Chanderi silk piece i could imagine myself in this ! The fabric is gorgeous and the pants are chic so you can still it in a contemporary fashion with a belt as well. I really hope you like the concept and the styling . In this post i am wearing a T&J boutique Kundan set we combined for this look. Both the choker and the neckpiece are such beauties - if you follow me on instagram you remember voting a 100% for these pieces. I am in love with their craftsmanship . Do check their fabulous collection <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tandjboutique/" target="_blank">here. </a><br />

<br />
<br />
In my next edition of Namaste, here's introducing another Home -grown label "Kapraha" by Anushree Saraf Pabuwal that is born from the idea of paying homage to the Rajasthani design culture of block printing . They use traditional techniques to create beautiful capsule collections. One glance at their SS'19 collection and you'll fall for the serene palette of whites with accents of orange and teal. With the comfort of delicate muslins and the sheer elegance of chiffon , this collection is a treat for sweltering summers and your eyes- see the collection for yourself to know what i mean - <a href="https://kapraha.com/collections/nour-spring-summer-19" target="_blank">Click here </a>!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is what the brand says about their SS' 19 collection " NOUR". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(46, 52, 56); color: #2e3438; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Inspired by the rustic streets of Morocco to the ancient doorways of the Mughal Sultanate, we present 'Nour'-<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic;"> a ray of light, </span>a collection that radiates in light muslin and pure chiffons- the fabric worn by Mehrunissa and Jahanara. The women of the Mughal empire dressed in 6 layers of chiffon with delicate embroideries.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(46, 52, 56); color: #2e3438; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">'Nour' takes you back in time , leaving you calm and serene..much like the light winds that announce the coming of Summer."</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As a kid, i remember fabric vendors from villages coming to our home to sell those authentic block printed bedsheets and all the aunties around would gather to choose their favourites as they would come to sell only in the festive season . Also, this means i must have spent my entire childhood sleeping in those never fading , never wearing bedsheets which had to be finally given away to the housemaids. Besides i also remember them selling block-printed kurta materials which mom would get stitched into stylish comfort wear.<br />
<br />
And then what followed was the fad of fast fashion brands which became our most ambitious buys as newly working graduates. Fast forward 2019, i am slowly discovering my love for all things hand-made . There is something so real about clothing which is hand-printed - just like this beautiful Knot Wrap blouse from <a href="https://www.inderooh.com/" target="_blank">Inderooh</a> . All products from Inderooh are hand-made & hand-printed in Jaipur on high quality cotton fabrics .<br />
<br />
Owning a block-printed clothing is like owning a piece of art. This art form lost its lustre with the industrial revolution where similar designs could now be mass produced with less labour and within so little time.<br />
<br />
I wanted to see how block printing really works and i found a story on their website. I was amazed how this art form is such a well-coordinated job where different skills are required at different levels to just arrive at one little block of design! I am not even going into the hand printing process yet.<br />
<br />
The designer first creates a design complete with its colours . The design then moves on to "Block carvers" who meticulously translate this design on paper into a block of wood. Imagine such intricate patterns being carved into wood which in itself is a difficult skill. Once the block is ready - its then used to print outlines on the fabric and this can take a lot of time and precision as the placement of block should be symmetrical. Once the outlines are printed - the next step is to fill color with the blocks which again requires precision as the color should coincide with the outlines.<br />
<br />
With so much creative labour that goes behind block-printing , i can't help but jump into the sustainable fashion bandwagon with my vote for this beautiful art form. I hope we can continue to love and cherish the traditional art forms irrespective of our fast fashion consumption .<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello my sweet people.<br />
<br />
<br />
I cannot explain how elated I'm to present you with " The Vintage Soul " series. The feeling of finally executing a concept after visualising it for over 6 months is inexplicable. As a blogger - creating unique & visually striking content is the only passion and i have been living and breathing this series in my mind since last August . All i needed was an old museum or a restaurant with vintage vibes . Unfortunately , due to a BMC stay on shoots in museums it could not commence when i was in Bombay last October. In the same month when i returned to Johannesburg, i was frantically searching for museums because A) I love museums and B) I wanted to explore the possibility of shooting in one! The dream came true when i booked my visit to <a href="https://lindfield.wixsite.com/museum" target="_blank">Lindfield Victorian Museum</a> which is a house museum . The owner of the house who curated this museum with so much love over the years along with her mom is a sweet lady - Katherine Love. Thanks to her and my favorite girls at <a href="https://www.slrphotosa.co.za/" target="_blank">SLRPHOTOSA</a> - this editorial comes to reality !<br />
<br />
But wait ! It wasn't a piece of cake still.<br />
<br />
As luck would have it, load shedding was at its peak that week and scheduled outage at the museum was 4pm which we got to know only when we reached there. We started our shoot at 3.30 pm and finished one look by 4 pm which you will see in Part 2. Luckily got a few shots during the remaining minutes before load shedding and secretly wishing load shedding would never happen but it did. This look that you see here was shot with the help of a "torch light" provided by Katherine and some sunlight peeking in the dark victorian style home. How we wished there was light but we were very pleased with the results nonetheless as we also made use of the amazing under-construction outdoors which Katherine thought weren't upto the mark. We thought it was "rustic" and she nodded almost in amazement - Rustic , i see ! It was a fabulous all girls crew with Sasha & Vanessa from <a href="https://www.slrphotosa.co.za/" target="_blank">SLRPHOTOSA</a> behind the lens and Katherine kindly helping us with little things throughout the house- such as moving a pile of books which she thought wouldn't be perfect for our shot even though we were ok with it - its like we had a mother figure making sure everything looked neat ! As i always say - there is never anything impossible if you set your mind to it and " The Vintage Soul" series is an example.<br />
<br />
Hope you love it as much as we loved shooting this . Cant wait to hear from you in my comment box. Also don't forget to follow me on my insta and Facebook pages along with twitter! Lets get to know each other more !<br />
