Bidding goodbye to my long tresses

{Crop Top/Necklace/Shoes/Hand Harness/Rings - Forever 21, Pants - Monsoon, Wrap Bracelet - Zara}

When I did this photoshoot, I never imagined that this might just be one of my last outfits with long hair! Even though I wanted to cut my hair short for a long time, I never had the courage to chop off my long tresses that took so much effort to become what they were. But I guess, I needed the push which I got this Diwali. Everybody has been asking me why I chopped off my hair, why did I get rid of my long tresses and here's the answer:
Because it caught fire.

Yes, that's the story. On Diwali night, after the customary prayers and all, we were clicking family pictures. I had my camera on the tripod and was setting timer so that I could also be in the picture and since not everyone were fitting in the frame, I kept moving back without realizing that there was a diya (Indian candle, sort of) right behind me. After a few seconds, I felt something hot on my back and at the same moment my brother who was standing near me noticed the fire. Thankfully, the damage was contained on time and it was limited to my hair. I went to the salon and got a good 10 inches chopped off even though the damage was up till 6-7 inches. I felt it was a perfect opportunity to try out the long bob that I wanted for last 5-6 months but just couldn't. So yeah, now I have like super short hair and sometimes I miss my long hair so much, I could cry but I do love the short look too. It's lighter and easier to style and looks cute. Here's how it looks now: 


I am kinda happy that I finally got the haircut I had been craving for. And the timing couldn't be better with the Fall season approaching. I am super excited to style my hair this season! I have had my fair share of hair updos for now and now I am ready to experiment with short hair :D




Hair Care Routine: Products



My hair care routine is probably one of the highly requested posts. I never did it till now because I was myself not happy with few of the products I was using then. However, now after many many trials and errors, I have finally settled into a hair care routine that I love and swear by. I am not going to lie, it's a list of high-end brands but trust me, using these products you will never need to visit the salon for a deep conditioning treatment or any kind of other hair care services (except haircut of course!).

For the record, I have fine, wavy and frizzy hair. The worst of it's kind. Most of these products aim towards giving my hair texture, body and volume while still maintaining moisture. So, few of the products might not be best fit for you if you have say, thick or curly hair type.

{MoroccanOil Moisture Repair Shampoo, Extra Volume Shampoo, Treatment oil & Intense Hydrating Mask}
We all know how much of a self-proclaimed MoroccanOil brand ambassador I am! It all started with me trying out the original MoroccanOil Treatment and then the obsession took new heights and my bathroom shelf is painted with a sweet soft blue tint with a beautiful (M)onogram. I love love love all these products but if I had to choose a favourite on gun-point then it has to be the Moisture Repair Shampoo. This one is my third bottle, already finished two :)

Price :-
MoroccanOil Moisture Repair Shampoo - Rs.1260/-
MoroccanOil Extra Volume Shampoo - Rs. 1485/-
MoroccanOil Treatment - Rs. 2100/-
MoroccanOil Intense Hydrating Mask - Rs. 2025/-


{Oscar Blandi Thickening & Strengthening Mousse and Dry Shampoo}
The Mousse is a recent purchase and I have tried it out a couple of times. It does what it says and I am really liking it specially for the days I curl my hair. The Dry Shampoo is a hands down favourite. Cannot live without it! I have been using it at least once every week for more than an year now(Woah! Has it really been that long!) and there's still more than half product left. Value for money, people!

Price:-
Oscar Blandi Thickening & Strengthening Mousse - Rs. 1700/-
Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo - Rs. 1500/-


 {Toni&Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray & Moisturising Shine Spray}
Again, recent purchases but loving the Sea Salt Spray for the days when I don't wanna apply too much heat on my hair and don't have the time either. Shine Spray is good too, does what it says, so no complaints there!

Price:-
Toni&Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray - Rs. 900/-
Toni&Guy Moisturising Shine Spray - Rs. 750/-


 {Bamboo Anti-Breakage Thermal Protectant Spray}
Have been using this for quite a while and it is a darn good smelling product. After styling, I do feel my hair is smoother, silkier, shinier and softer. It's gonna last me a long time telling by the amount of product you need for one use.
Tip - Don't spray it directly onto hair as it's thicker than you would imagine. Just spray a little on the palms of your hands, rub them up and then apply.

Price:-
Bamboo Anti-Breakage Thermal Protectant Spray - Rs. 1600/-


{John Frieda Flawless Finishing Creme}
I did not like it much when I bought it because I was using it wrong. You just need a tiny bit to apply at the ends of your hair to finish off any style and keep the frizz at bay.

Price:-
John Frieda Flawless Finishing Creme - Rs. 500/-

The next installment of this post will talk about the Styling Tools I use to style my hair. Stay Tuned!



Talking Tuesday: Episode 3

tt8

Hello guys! I am so glad I managed to do this post today. I was afraid I might slip again and skip a Tuesday but I am trying to be strict to myself and post every Tuesday. I also want to apologize to you guys as few posts I had promised in the last two episodes of Talking Tuesday lika a Haircare post, Skincare post, few video tutorials, etc haven't gone up by the promised time. But I ensure you, they are on my To-Do list and I will do them.

A reader had asked in the previous episode about makeup kits, I had suggested Forever New but apparently, the sale has ended and so has their stock of cute makeup kits. So, I would suggest you visit Colobar and pick up their super cute makeup kits in different sizes and colors. I have one in yellow which I use as my Toiletry Kit when I travel, you can see how it looks here in the "Travel Chic: What I pack in my Toiletry Kit & a few tips" post. 

Now onto this week's queries!

1. I've big n broad feet. What kind of footwear should I go for? Please post pics with whatever types you're gonna suggest.
- Akansha
I feel you girl! I have the same problem, I too, am a big foot girl! So, basically you can check out all kinds of footwear I choose for my outfit posts and you can rock them all as well. Below are few more styles you can wear:

Try to opt for shoes with coverage around the broadest part of your feet so that you get proper support and the not so attractive part of your feet is hidden. You can also wear strappy shoes if you want, just keep in mind that the straps go around the broadest part of your feet and not the toes and coz that would be very very uncomfortable.

2. Losing some hair near forehead ends. Do u know any tried n tested solution?
- Akansha
Chances are you are not only losing the hair on your forehead but your hair as a whole is thinning, but you can only see the front part. Take good care of your hair. Give oil massages, deep conditioning treatments every week, and use good quality shampoo and conditioners.

3. How to wear a perfume ?
- Anonymous
For a perfume to last you a good few hours, you should wear them near your nerves. I have read that perfumes stay longer on you if you do so. Spray your wrists, insides of your elbow, nape of the neck, etc. It is also said that perfume rises up, so spray some on the insides of your knees. To finish off, spray a little cloud of the perfume and walk through it. I like to swirl rather than walk though! :P

4. I've acne prone skin. Never got bleach done. Does bleach increases hair density on face? Which bleach is good? And should I start with it
- Anonymous
I use Oxybleach and it's pretty good and easy to use and no, it does not increases the hair density on the face. But, since you have acne problems, I would suggest you consult a good dermatologist before bleaching coz even if I don't have acne problems and by God's grace my skin is pretty clear, I get red blotches after I bleach, which goes away in a few hours but still, if it has such an effect on me then you should really be careful.

5. What all a girl must carry in her handbag n wallet?
- Akansha
Cash, Credit/Debit Cards, ID Cards, Store Membership Cards (if any) and some change in the wallet. And in handbag: Hair Brush, Wallet, Sunglasses, Gum, Pen, Keys, Lip Balm, Blotting Powder/Tissues, Lipstick, Small Mirror, Nail Filer, Sanitary Napkins, Tampons, a small kit containing safety pins, hairpins, hair ties, etc., a small diary and an umbrella. Well, at least this is what I carry in my bag :)

6. Is it possible to alter waist of jeans?
- Anonymous
Well, technically it's possible but I would advice you against it. The altering would strip off the neat look at the waist and if you don't alter the legs of the jeans, it would look very unflattering. You would be better off with a new one, trust me!

7. I get under skin hair on legs leaving dark spots. What to do?
- Anonymous
Scrub scrub scrub! The skin that is prohibiting the new hair to grow is most probably dead skin, which will come off if you scrub lightly every time you take bath and will make way for the hair to grow out.

8. Some trends that I can buy this sale season?
- Anonymous
Lots of prints and patterns, whites, lace, square sequins, muscle tanks, crochet, fit and flare dresses(skater dresses), tailored shorts and cropped pants. The collarless jackets as well as the bomber jackets will also be big next Spring/Summer 2014.

9. How to store makeup brushes so as to prevent dust settling into bristles? How frequent should one wash makeup brushes? What are your must have brushes? Do specify the brand.
- Akansha
Keep your brushes in a brush stand and don't bother about dust settling into it much coz chances are there isn't a lot of dust floating around in your bedroom or dressing room. I keep my makeup in a cabinet for extra protection so you could do that too. You should wash your brushes once in two weeks at least, or once a week if you use them frequently.
My must have brushes would be a Face Stippling Brush, Blush Brush, Bronzer Brush, Kabuki Brush, Flat Eyeshadow Brush, Eyeshadow Applicator Brush, Blending Brush, Pencil Brush and a precise angled brush. I use ELF, Ambika Pillai, QVS, Mac, etc.

10. I'm not very comfortable in wearing off shoulder or deep neck dresses. What kind of bra should one wear for revealing dresses?
- Anonymous
This is a question that lingers in almost every girl's mind! You should invest in a multi-way bra which you can find at La Senza or Marks & Spencer. There are various kinds of bras to choose from, for example, for deep necklines, go for halter neck bras or the regular ones. For maximum comfort and support, go for balconette bra. For backless dresses, go for clear back-strap or silicone bra or even the silicone glue-strap bras which are available in Marks & Spencer.


Hope this Episode helped you guys out!

Toni & Guy "Hair Meet Wardrobe" Launch Event & my Outfit for the night

The last few days passed by in a blur...Some moments distinctly etched in my brain, few are vague. The one thing I am most certain of is that the Toni & Guy event was beyond amazing! I have never seen a promotion on this big scale and an event where you truly enjoy and not just hold wine in one hand and make some awkward small talks and shake hands. It was a night of warm hugs, meeting wonderful people, celebrating, and enjoying to our heart's content! Now, let me clarify this in the beginning only, the event was much more fun for us and here's why: It happened in Mumbai!

A few weeks ago when we received a personalized invitation to the Toni & Guy Launch event in Mumbai, we took it as one of those misguided and less informed PR's mails, who are not aware that we reside in Delhi. That happens a lot! We humbly RSVP'd in negative only to receive another email which stated that the PR company and their client Toni & Guy will be hosting us for the event. And from that moment till now, this PR company has surprised and pleased us at every turn.

We were flown out to Mumbai and made to stay at a five star hotel, Taj Land's End. From booking a cab to and fro, to providing all sorts of luxury and comfort during our stay, the brand and the PRs have left a very impressive image on us. What added a cherry on the cake was when we got to know that we were the only bloggers they had hosted from Delhi! That is kinda big deal for us and we are really thankful for even getting considered the best among so many amazing bloggers from Delhi! Now, all that being said, let's talk about the event itself...

TONI&GUY HairMeetWardrobe Launch_Anusha Dandekar, Mark Hampton, Srinandan Sundaram, Malaika Arora Khan, Manish Arora and Soha Ali Khan
In the picture (left to right): Anusha Dandekar, Mark Hampton - TONI&GUY HairMeetWardrobe Global Hair Ambassador, Srinandan Sundaram - General Manager, Haircare, Hindustan Unilever Limited, Malaika Arora Khan, Manish Arora – TONI&GUYHairMeetWardrobe, Official Fashion Stylist and Soha Ali Khan
The most celebrated British Hair Brand TONI & GUY HairMeetWardrobe finally launched in India and how! The event happened in Mumbai in Taj Land's End Hotel in the most fashionable way possible.

The Brand Ambassador of Toni & Guy, who is probably the youngest brand ambassador of all times (and dare I say, super funny and cute as hell!), Mark Hampton is one of the hottest names to emerge into the session styling limelight in years. Vogue Italia, Harpers Bazaar, POP, plus a host of designers from Vivienne Westwood Red Label to Todd Lynn have tapped into his unique creative vision for their editorial pages and global catwalk shows. Edgy, cool and always three steps ahead of the rest of the style crowd, his rapid ascent up the rungs of fashion is down to his ability to carve out looks that combine an urban street vibe with a couture finish, taking designer inspirations firmly in hand and perfectly matching hair with wardrobe. Mark lives the TONI & GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe philosophy of Dressing from the Head Down and he intrinsically knows what will work to make a complete look.

The Official Fashion Stylist for the brand was none other than Manish Arora. No introduction needed here! [ And in case, you have been living under a rock and you DO need an introduction of this most celebrated and famous Indian Designer then here: He is the most celebrated and famous Indian Designer! And oh yes, he has worked with Paco Rabanne and has done several shows in Paris and is my favourite!]

Toni&Guy HairMeetWardrobe India Launch Anusha Dandekar Soha Ali Khan Malaika Arora Khan

Three Indian fashionistas – the glamorous Malaika Arora Khan, classic beauty Soha Ali Khan and casual yet chic Anusha Dandekar walked the red carpet in three timeless looks curated by Mark Hampton. Each of these divas embodied the theme of a chic TONI & GUY HairMeetWardrobe range, namely - Glamour, Classic and Casual.

TONI&GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe's 3 Timess collections-Casual,Glamour&Classic represtented by Anusha Dandekar, Malaika Arora Khan & Soha Ali Khan

Anusha sported a casual top knot (which you all know is my favorite go-to hairdo!), Soha wore elegant side-swept waves and Malaika looked dazzling with her glam playful curls! These girls were full of energy at the event and combined with witty Mark Hapton and sweet Manish Arora, kept the crowd giggling and clapping all the time!!

IMG_0413

The host of the event, Shibani Dandekar, was a delight for the sore eyes and looked so sexy that she "almost" stole the show from these three celebs! Kudos to her makeup and hair stylist as well the drop-dead gorgeous Manish Arora S/S'10 dress she flaunted!

IMG_0590

Themed on the concept of ‘HairMeetWardrobe,’ and the three timeless looks – Casual, Classic and Glamour - ace choreographer Shiamak Davar, beautifully brought to life the brand’s philosophy through a themed musical performance. At the musical, Anusha, Soha and Malaika performed as showstoppers for their respective themes.

IMG_0604

The dance troupe of Shiamak Davar did an astounding job and we were mesmerized during the whole performance. The musical performance was titled "Life of a Fashionista" and it portrayed the same brilliantly!

IMG_0643

What followed after all the partying was dinner and dessert...well, we skipped the dinner for desserts and why wouldn't we when the dessert table look like this filled with all the delectable delicacies you can ever imagine! From Apple Crumble, Chocolate and Red Velvet cupcakes to Macaroons, Kiwi Tarts, Chocolate mousse and even candies and gummy bears, everything was amazing!

That's how our first course looked...and the second as well!

My Outfit for the event:

After a little pondering over which look I wanted to flaunt on the night out of Casual, Classic and Glamour... I chose Glamour as I love my curls, smoky eyes and a sexy body hugging dress. Always have, always will! It's kinda my fail-proof choice for night events...I wore my new Steve Madden Wedges so that I will be comfortable throughout the night and these babies didn't fail me all night...


Here's to one of the most memorable nights! Cheers!




Talking Tuesday: Episode 1

tt8



First of all, I want to thank all of you lovely girls out there for such an amazing response!! It's really overwhelming to see so many queries pouring in! When me and A first came up with this idea, we brainstormed for hours deciding the name, designing the logo (The 8th logo was finalized!), creating the Query Page, etc etc. To be honest, I was a little nervous, what if there are very few queries, what if the plan fails, what if! But, you all have been extremely sweet asking questions, sending compliments and believing in me. I feel very blessed to have an opportunity to help even a few of you! 

Okay, so enough of that! Let's jump right into the Q's & A's part coz there's a LOT to cover up in one single post!!

1. According to you what are the three must haves when it comes to makeup? I mean foundation,concealer,mascara,lipstick etc. If you had to pick three what would it be?
- Ayesha
I believe that a good base is what makes the makeup look like a million dollar. If you ignore that and do your eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, etc, then it would just look wrong! Even for the people with amazing skin, a little BB cream or tinted moisturizer would even out the skin tone and make the whole makeup look amazing.
So, I would say, Foundation, Concealer and Eyebrow Powder are the three most important products in general. Properly shaped and filled brows can make you look pulled together in seconds. 
Personally, if I had to choose, I would pick Foundation, Concealer and a Tinted Lip Balm. My eyebrows are naturally thick so I can get away without filling them in. However, my lips are very pale and I like to keep them moisturized 24*7 so a tinted lip balm is a must for me!

2. Hey Srish, how do you prevent getting tanned in the Delhi sun?! I am moving to Delhi for college, I'm moving from a cold country where it is hardly ever sunny, and therefore I would love to know how u stay fair in delhi!! :/
- Sneha
To be quite honest, I do not pay much attention to tanning problems because I do not like to spend time under the sun, except when we shoot for blog. That eliminates the possibility of getting tanned to a great extent. I have also developed the habit of using sunscreen if I am going out anytime before 6pm in the evening(Neutrogena has one of the best affordable sunscreens you can ever find).I also keep one tube in my bag so that I can re-apply on my hands and arms whenever I need to. I also have this habit of scrubbing my whole body every time I take a shower, it takes off the dead and damaged skin and always keeps the skin glowing and fresh. Try the Scrubbing gloves from The Body Shop with any good shower gel. Hope this helps you in some way. And Welcome to India by the way!


3. How do I style a pair of Tropical Print Shorts??????...
- Anonymous
I have styled a couple of outfits around a pair of Tropical print shorts. Have a look HERE and HERE! You can also style it the way I have styled my Cow print shorts HERE. Hope this helps :)

4. Can you do a post on your everyday hair routine?
- Josie
You got it! I will publish the post by next Tuesday. Keep a lookout for the same!

5. What is the best way to handle frizzy hair? Which products are the BEST ? Suggest shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, oil/serum, hair styles , etc.
- Akansha
As answered in the question above, I will give you all the information in a separate post completely dedicated to Hair and all your queries will be answered there! Check back by next Tuesday!

6. Which cleanser, toner and moisturiser would you suggest for oily acne prone skin?I also have scars and open pores.
- Fiona
I would suggest a mild cleanser like Kiehls's Ultra Facial Cleanser. It is very gentle and would not irritate or dry out the skin. For Toner, try Neutrogena's Oil Free Toner or Clean&Clear's Deep Cleaning Astringent. Lush's Enzymion is a very good moisturizer for oily skin, and remember, no matter how oily your skin is, it is never advised to skip the moisturizer. Oil secretion means that skin is lacking moisture and hence producing more and more oil to keep it naturally moisturized. But if you provide the moisturization it needs, slowly the oil secretion would decrease. Try the spot treatment by Clean& Clear for your acne problems.

7. Can you do a skin care routine?
- Fiona
Sure! But, this week I have already promised for a Hair Care Post so how about you check back by 15th August, the Skincare post shall be published by then.

8. I want to Buy the Moroccan oil serum. Plz let me know from where I can buy it.
- Priyanka
You can find the Moroccanoil products in any high-end salons like Looks, Affinity, etc.

9. My makeup routine is limited to kajal, lip balm and occasionally, compact powder and BB cream. I'd like to know more about blushes, lipsticks and what basics are required to create a natural yet glowing look. A simple, beginner level yet complete tutorial on how to apply, in what order to apply etc. would be greatly appreciated!!
- Fab
Well, it's a lot to cover in a small paragraph! But nevermind, I will make sure to film a video tutorial explaining everything step by step and would publish it by the end of August. Please check back by then :)

10. I have a Mac primer...I bought it a few months back...but a month back I noticed that the primer spoiled in a way like milk curdles. (became watery and the solid part looked like curd)....and I took it to the store and the Mac guys were cool enough to replace it for me(I had barely used it) but I recently noticed that the primer seems as if its gonna spoil again( noticed a little water like something) ..I went to the mac store and they shook the tube well...and it was alright then...but I am afraid that it might spoil again...help!!!
- Anonymous
I understand your confusion as I have had the exact same problem with my Mac Primer. In the beginning, a little shake before use solved the problem but in later months, all I could squeeze out of the tube was oil. The tube would leak like a water tap! Do not invest in Mac Primers! Go for Benefit or Bobbi Brown.

11. Please tell me some nice hairdos? I am a college going student and I can't leave my hair open everyday. So suggest some nice pin-ups or stuff? Thank you :)
- Neelashi
One of the easiest hairstyles is a Sock Bun. To know how to do it, click HERE. I am also planning to start video tutorials soon as I get a lot of requests to do hairstyling videos. So, more tutorials will be published after 15th August. Stay Tuned!

12. Lipstick never stays on my lips. Please can you recommend some long-lasting lipsticks?
- Dolly Desoza
For long lasting lipsticks, I find the Maybelline 14 hour Stay Lipsticks are the best. They are a little drying though, so make sure you have scrubbed and moisturized your lips nicely before you apply.

13. Hey hi..Do u have any idea from where I can own a beanie cap..? And also summer jackets/blazer..
Thanx :))
- Shweta Shetty
You can buy a beanie from Forever 21 or Vero Moda but they will be available after October. For Summer Blazers/ Jackets, check out Zara, Forever 21 and Mango. They have sleeveless blazers with amazing fit and designs.

14. Hi, this is surbhi here, I have a favorite bag which was gifted by someone very special and now I have the bag but the handles are totally ruined. I am keeping it with me as I told that its special for me but I really wish to find a way through which I can get it revamped. If your gyaan can help me some way I will be flying high..believe me that it's really important for me.
- Surbhi Agarwal
There is a way! Just go to "Pressto" and ask them to fix your bag! It's as easy as that! :)
Pressto outlets are in many markets, few of them being Vasant Vihar Market, Khan Market, etc.Good Luck! Let me know how it goes.

15. I have to attend a reunion with my college friends and we are going to wear the same skirt that we bought together in final year ..how should I style it..please help ...I have just ten days time to plan everything.
- Surbhi Agarwal
The skirt looks very chic and it would look amazing when styled properly. The waistband and the pocket openings are not very flattering so I would suggest concealing that somehow. Iron out the skirt first of all(obviously! :P). 
The yellow embroidery is beautiful and while styling we should keep in mind to use the flouncy shape of the skirt and to show off the yellow embroidery. Wear the skirt high on your waist till the hem hits a couple of inches above your knees. Now, time to hide the waistband and the pocket openings! Pair the skirt with a soft cream georgette shirt(Fold up the sleeves casually and do not tuck the shirt in!) or a peplum top. Add a thin belt in a neutral brown shade at the thinnest part of your waist. Throw on some statement necklace and chic heels and you will be the talk of the reunion! Take inspiration from this picture HERE. Do not forget to send us a picture after you have styled it! Have fun!

16. Hey, Just wanted you to know firstly i love your style its amazing to see how you create different looks each time and those glasses definitely works for you!!! 

Well I m personally quite into fashion myself and I have been following blogs, reading mags alot I just wnted to know do you guys have interns or maybe is there is a vacancy for asst stylist?? I have been dying to start up something myself and honestly can't imagine anything rather than being a fashion stylist!!! Thanks n Have a great day.
- Ankita B Banerjee
I am sorry dear but we do not take interns or asst.stylists. This blog is a hobby of mine and Aman, not a full time job. But why don't you start your own blog! You can document your work and see yourself grow as a stylist.

17. I am 20 years old with a height of 5'1... recently, I was gifted two palazzo pants by my friends- one is in light shade of green and -the other is blue with white polka dots.. I really want to wear them for my day outs but, am not quite sure as I am short and palazzo pants might end up making me look more shorter.... I also tried teaming with tank tops, but it doesn't work out well...coz I am on the heavier side(with fuller arms)...Please help me out.. on how to style the palazzos because i can't discard them as they have been gifted by my very close friends... :)

- Riri
Height has nothing to do with what you can and cannot wear. If you want to wear those palazzos, you can do so easily. Get the hem altered if you need to and wear them with sky high heels. It will actually make you legs look lean and longer. You can pair your palazzo pants with short sleeved T-shirts to hide your arms. Take inspiration from the picture HERE.

18. Building my makeup kit. Which is the best brand of lipsticks out of MAC, loreal, revlon, chambor?

- Akansha
You should look through different brands for different products. While Mac is good with their lipsticks, blushes, eyeshadows and concealers, Bobbi Brown is excellent at base makeup. I do not use L'oreal, Revlon and Chambor a lot so cannot really comment on those except that Revlon Lipsticks are good and Chambor Eyeliners are long lasting. Hope this helped :)
