Keep Accessories to a minimum and let the print shine… GET GRAPHIC! Lacoste true to its sportswear-ship revisited the signature style with elan this New York fashion week. Filipe Oliveira Baptista revisited the 80 years old archives of Lacoste productions to bring alive its signature iconic elements. Tennis balls, rackets and courts, crocodiles, an umpire’s chair and a pattern of folded polos which were printed in loops and repeated in abstract patters on shirts, pants and parkas. This print on print infusion in shades of pop orange, cobalt blue and ivory saw peter pan collars, matching accessories, Harrington jackets and summer trench coats to accomplish the print on print look. Sporty Color-Blocked Chic The creative print on print addition did not let the other signature sportswear style take a back seat. The runway also saw polo shirts, waffle-textured blazers, sports dresses and casual chic. Although this collection too had an interesting trend to spot. In solid colors of sunrise orange, grey indigo, beige, monochromes and yellow; the palette was mismatched in various color blocked combos. The color blocking saw abstract patterns on sports dresses with a sleek silhouette to compliment the female frame. For men the look was kept casual, summer blessed and ranged from board-shorts to well fitted denims. Stay tuned for some more SS’13! 😉

My visit to this store in pictures… The experience starts with a scientifically designed skin analysis to examine your skin and provide further assistance. My skin analysis showed that I have very well moisturized and spotless skin (YAY) but has some unevenness issue which can be due to the season change. The above skin regime was designed for me as per the analysis. This day also saw the launch of 15 new products for various skin types and requirements. Priyanka from Kaya team was more than happy to help us through the experience. My attendee (forgot her name..Oops!) was ready to provide me a relaxing service.

My verdict : I have heard mixed reviews about Kaya, although my personal …

Continue readingI am a shameless foodie. Period! Many girls swear by weird diet plans, while I swear by being merry! So when I saw Blogadda’s offer of reviewing “The [V] Spot Cafe + Bar”, I hit the APPLY button on the blink of my eyes…. *pure evil* So I visited their Saket, Delhi outlet last Friday night with my folks. Oh Boy! I miss those quirky [V] moments from the television. But it all came back to me when I stepped into this fun Cafe + Bar. A warm welcome from The [V] Spot Cafe + Bar team seemed promising (and it was!). Doing an investigation before hand (Yes I am 007!) about other review experiences, I came to know that at a time you can only redeem one voucher (per table rule). Flipping my hair with a *clever grin* I suggested that me and my folks occupy two tables and we get to redeem the two vouchers of R.s.2000/- which I received from blogadda.com… MISSION POSSIBLE! (Bwahahahahaha) Being pure non-vegetarians we didn’t want to waste our time on souplings (weaklings) and ordered starters. Check out our menu and experience through mouth watering images!! Mamma Mia : Hugely popular Italian chicken snack, dredged in secret flour and fried to golden perfection. Highly recommend for chicken lovers. It does remind you of KFC but trust me… this is way better than KFC chicken when it comes to quality. Piri Piri Pizza and Butter Chicken Pizza: Italian thin crust pizzas with very interesting Indian toppings. For those who can have Butter chicken everywhere and anywhere, try the Butter Chicken Pizza. Piri Piri Pizza on the other hand could not provoke my taste buds. There was nothing piri piri about it. Chikibum bum : Spinach and cheese stuffed chicken with mushroom cream sause and fresh pasta. Called the speciality of this …
Continue readingA few days back I was invited to experience an unusual vodka experience. I usually don’t fall for booze parties, but this was not just any booze party, but an exciting fusion of Chemistry weds Alcohol delivers Amusement! About PCO, The Venue! Nestled in the secret hide out of Vasant Vihar, PCO, the concept was as interesting as the venue. PCO can barely be figured out if you are a newbie, and difficult to spot if you don’t ask the locals. The entrance is literally a PCO (Telephone booth), where you are suppose to enter in a code to let the doors open! I felt like a harry potter scene coming to life, the portal to the magical world through a PCO booth! ^_^ What an Idea! The concept was brainstormed by Absolut Vodka geniuses, making even non Vodka lovers interested. Presented to us were tables full of 200 International ingredients, from exotic fruits to basic spices, we had crazy likes of wasabi and bacon flavored liquor. Another table was filled with chemistry lab equipment which made us more curious to start with. The idea was to let our Frankenstein sides get to work and create one hell of a monster drink! The aftermath! Our creations have been preserved by Absolut Vodka team, while we have been handed over a labelled “handmade card”. During the Unbox event 2013, scheduled from 7-10th in Delhi, we can present our card at the Absolut Vodka Bar, and get to taste our evil creations. (Wonder how will mine turn out to be! ) Check out the crazy moments of Absolut Unbox! My creation : Dil(i)ruba Symbolizes the elements of Delhi like Rose, Paan, Orange juice, Mint and much more…! I had an awesome time being a part of this Absolut “Unique” experience. If you had a chance, what ingredients would …
