Summer Kurti To Wear At Work

Hi Guys,

As moms, we have to juggle between Work, Home, Kids, and other errands every day. On some days we are late and styling up comes last.Then we look into our wardrobe and wear something which is easy and on the go. So for those days, I have an outfit in the back of my closet that’s ironed and ready to go!!!

ANOKHI at Chamiers is one stop shop for summer kurtis and shirts. This kali cut printed kurti when worn with neutral cotton pants is cool for summers. Also, wearing colours like Red/Maroon to office and meetings adds energy to you through the day. Accessorise with Stud earrings and a watch you are fashion fixed. The Brown laptop bag by Da MIlano is a very good investment.

Do leave a message in the comment box below for any questions regarding this look.

Thank You!!!

Cotton dress For Plus Size

*Reuse ~Recycle~Reduce* are the 3 words to save our Planet Earth from landfills of waste cloth on its surface. I find myself very lucky to be born in India, the land of cotton. Cotton is one such biodegradable fabric that can be *Recycled*. There are many types of cotton fabrics and one of them is *Ajrakh*. This summer, I was introduced to this fabric by *Turquoise*the store.

They manufacture and design natural fabrics from generations. Also, They not only design garments using handmade cotton but also use natural dyes. The process of ‘Ajrakh’ is long. It is block printed with a resistant paste and then dyed. Eventually, the entire process takes two weeks resulting in beautiful eye-catching patterns of Ajrakh. The technique used in the fabric of my dress is brush print and customized to my size.

The dress worn by me was gifted by *Turquoise* the store.’Ridhi-the the designer has designed the dress in 2 pieces where one is the jacket. The fabric is super comfortable for Indian summers, especially where I live Chennai. When a soothing fabric and well-designed dress come together can be worn in the day as well as for parties at night. I have styled this look from a simple day look to a party look by adding a gold statement neckpiece and heels.

Find them at their store and don’t forget to follow them on social networking sites.

Luxury Handmade Beauty Products

Hi Guys,
Bellissimo Creazione – Means beautiful creation.The Luxury handmade beauty products brand from Kolkata sent me products to review. I received the mail on Budha Purnima. I’m super thrilled and excited to review because it’s from my birthplace. Kolkata is really special and very close to my heart.Beauty and Spa products are my huge favorites and I like to try everything under the sun. The Hamper had 4 items in the packaging. It took 10 minutes for me to open “So well packed”.

Lemon+Honey Face Wash The gel based face wash was very light and suitable for oily to normal skin. My skin is very soft and I prefer mild face wash. So it really worked very well for me.

Lemon+Tulsi Face Pack Tulsi is the queen of all herbs and it has many benefits for every skin type. This face pack scrub mixture has Lemon peel powder and tulsi powder. The powder was very finely ground and when mixed with rose water formed into a smooth paste. The skin was looking healthy and revitalized after I used the face pack. The scrub powder is just amazing and I highly recommend.

These are very useful products as gifts for any occasion. The hamper was customized with perfection according to my skin type. Each item comes with a personalized note of ingredients and details on how to use them. Handmade beauty products made by *Purvi Punjabi*

A Dress For all plus size body type

Hi Guys,

New Designer on the BLOCK-”Taraasi Silhouette”.A must-have dress for all plus size in their wardrobes. This is an “A” line cut dress in neutral color looks fabulous on any body type. Whether you are an Hourglass shaped, Rectangular shaped or a Pear shape body type. This Dress is well stitched in Chinese collar Neck and Full sleeves. Any Dress that fits well makes one feel very happy and comfortable. Above all expectations, the dress had fitted me well and has become one of my favorites in my wardrobe. The applique work on this dress is done beautifully in coordinating colors of yellow and white. When it comes to choosing a dress I always select colors first and brown color was always a “NO” in my list of colors. But this Brown Cotton blend fabric was myth-breaking. I have styled it in a semi-formal look with golden Sneakers and Earrings. I can style this look with beige pants or a legging as a tunic or a kurti formally.

I live in Chennai and the Tailors OR Designers hardly deliver such good finishing. So guys from Chennai if you are looking for someone who can give good finishing I recommend ‘Taraasi Silhouette” to you.With a great understanding of client’s requirements, they deliver promptly to any Queries if any you might have. Please follow them on Instagram and Facebook. Thank you Rupinderjit Walia for the fabulous job on customizing the dress in my size.

Glam Up with Make Up

Hi Guys!!!.,This June I’m introducing a new series of a blog called “Glam Up with Make Up”.In this series, I will be reviewing and mentioning my makeup essentials and all the products that I use. Will try and review every month with at least one blog.Every woman wants to look glam and look out for easy ways to get ready. So here is good news for all those of you who wanted to create those first impressions as everlasting impressions on your clients, bosses, colleagues, or even a first date.

MYGLAMM an Indian beauty brand in collaborations with Europe’s best natural beauty producers have introduced easy everyday multitasking cosmetics.I bought the products in the month May and from then have been loving it. I bought a blending eye brush and a combo of setting powder and fixing powder. I don’t use too many products on a daily basis until I’m doing a full face makeup for shoots and events.

2 IN 1 SHIMMER AND TRANSLUCENT FIXING POWDER

The 2 in 1 powder duo comes with mattifying loose powder to set the makeup and shimmer powder that works as makeup highlighter and adds glow on the face. The translucent powder is colorless and floats weightlessly on the skin for a smooth look, enhanced luminosity and a flawless finish. The shimmer powder adds a captivating radiance and can be applied post setting of the makeup and makes the best highlighter for the face and body.

Review and How I use: I use a primer for face and conceal and correct my darker areas which are dark circles around the eyes, corner of the nose, and around the mouth area. Then use the fixing powder to set it with a help of blending brush. The one thing I like about its beautiful packaging in gold. Really lasts long like good 8 hrs.

ALL EYE NEED BLENDING BRUSH

A brush with densely packed, short fibers in an oval shape, ideal for blending in target areas.Best for Powder and Cream based products.

Review and How I use:

The blending eye brush is not very soft but is medium textured. Good for creating crease line and also picks up a good amount of product for the eyelid So found it at Myglamm.

Perfect Curves

The most luscious lips with a fabulous range of lip makeup from MyGlamm. Crafted in Europe, these lipsticks are pigmented, long-lasting and moisturizing. MyGlamm lipsticks are enriched with natural oils that soften and hydrates the lips while you wear them. The lipsticks are not tested on animals and free from harmful ingredients like parabens, mineral oils, and preservatives.

Review and How I use:

They are running an offer on purchases above Rs.2000/- get a free perfect curves lipstick worth Rs.795/-.The colour I choose was in the shade PLUM is called COSMOPOLITAN-no.003. Its a 2-in-1 matte lipstick & lipliner. First coat of the lipstick is like a lip pencil and then apply the second coat like a lipstick.

PLUS SIZE OCCASION WEAR-COCKTAIL DINNER & RESORT WEAR

Being an Indian we all are very vibrant and stand out from the rest of the world for our culture and traditions, food, clothes, festivals. We like to eat spicy food, the clothes we wear are bright and colorful. We celebrate weddings and festivals with Band Baaja and Baarat. Weddings these days have become really big with at least 10 events to attend for a single marriage invite. When we have so many events then that many dresses to wear too!!!. Being a plus size I have a big time trouble choosing the right clothes for a DJ night at weddings. So very interestingly I found HALF FULL CURVE a Lakme fashion week designer collection at AQUAAB in Chennai. Aquaab is a multi-designer store headed by Farida Khan above the store is a 2-floor institute of fashion design-INIFD.So the dress that I really liked in purple color with side cowl and nice sequence embellishments’ suitable for a cocktail dinner party. With hair left loose and neat makeup with Valliyan choker I completed the look. When it comes to dressing up I love to accessories. So this golden choker with beads just was my pick from the store.

The second look was a kaftan mustard dress for an afternoon formal resort lunch.I Teamed up big with chunky earring’s from Grazia, for this antique work dress. Less is more girls, stay minimalistic and slay in this stylish dress. This kaftan dress can also be worn with well-fitted leggings in case you are at a cold destination.The clothes have a very good feel the fabric is pure and little detailing kept in mind while designing for plus size women was fantastic. The cuts are contemporary, why only the thin fair girls get all the different cuts and silhouettes’ time for us curvy ladies to flaunt the curves and embrace everybody.

I am Swetha here…..

This is Shweta here. A true Chennai-ite at heart, I run an Events Management company, AMALTAS with my friend where we specialize in organizing exhibitions. (https://www.facebook.com/shwetaagarwal2016/)

With a passion for enterprise, which runs in the blood thanks to my Marwadi lineage, I am now inspired to write my own blog.

Most of the women blogs I come across, focus on loosing weight and counting the number of days it will take to do the same. With these perfect meal plans, hrs at the gym, yoga, cardio ,strength training et al.
But after a few months of some inspired perspiration, some of us stop exercising. And sadly also gain what we lost. I don’t deny the benefits to exercise, but I think the focus should be to stay healthy and not just to become a “Size Zero”.

So this blog is for those of us, who don’t need to wait to loose those horrible 5 kg, in order to look good. And more importantly, feel good about ourselves.

The goal here is to carry yourself more stylishly, glamorously, gracefully, elegantly, beautifully, fashionably and fabulously, no matter what “Size, shape, weight” you are.

I will be sharing my personal styles for special occasions, western, Indian, Club-wear and more, focusing on body type and also keeping our Indian surroundings in mind.

You can also get in touch with me for…

1) Being your Personal Shopper.

2) Or a plus size stylist.

E.S.T.D (EAT,SLEEP TO DRESS UP)

So be happy and be fabulous, always!

XOXOXO

Shweta

Summer Kurti to wear at work.

Hi Guys,
We are in the middle of April and Chennai heat is soaring high. Every individual must create their wardrobe according to the place they live. So, guys, I have created a contemporary wardrobe for kurtas that you can wear to work. Cotton, Mul, and Linen are some of my favorite fabrics for summers, Colors and Fabric come first to my pick while shopping.

Two trees workspace is an environment-friendly co-working space created very carefully. One can take up the place on an hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly basis. Also, conduct workshops in their well-equipped seminar room. With motivational quotes on the walls of their interiors, TWO TREES WORKSPACE was a great location to capture these pictures. Website:www.twotrees.co.in

All Indian women find kurtis as most comfortable clothing for every day. When worn with loose cotton pants rather than leggings, it can look very chic and comfy. The Straight cut of this kurta makes one look slimmer, Floral prints are a must-have for spring summer collection. With just slight detailing like bell sleeves or ruffles, the kurta can look very stylish. Side Plates, Stud earrings, Light minimalistic makeup and you are ready to BEAT THE HEAT this summer.

For any details regarding this look, please leave a message in the comment box below.

Kurti and Pants: Mulberry Blue, Kolkatta;
Pause For A Cause Exhibition.
Makeup: Lipstick M.A.C-Amorous.
