Girlfriends to the rescue!

I greet you with my biggest awkward smile. I'd ask you to ignore, but hard to ignore, right?

We women can have a wardrobe overflowing with clothes, but when we have to put an outfit together we find nothing. It's like all our clothes become invisible. How does that happen? As cliched as it sounds, all those of you crying 'I have nothing to wear', I hear ya sisters! We shop, have a 'I have nothing to wear' moment and shop some more. It's a viscous circle!

Next time you have this moment again, resist the temptation to shop. Open your closet and stare at it really hard. Think about all the possible ways you could mix-and-match. Now, this doesn't work every time and I can tell you it's irritating. So what do you do then? You call your girlfriends. Send them pictures of all the outfits you put together and they'll help you choose.

That is how this outfit came about. For the last two months, I have been irritating my friends to help me decide on outfits. You see, the place I live in here does not have a full-length mirror. So I made my girls my mirror and these girls happen to be people I met on blogosphere. Oh, the little surprises life throws at you!

Meeting Abhay Deol at Myntra

On the bright sunny day of 26th June, I met the love of my life at the Myntra office and all I did was stare like a creep. That is how starstruck I was! I had Abhay Deol THAT close to me, it's justified right?

Okay, less of my impossible love story and more of the event now.

Myntra, which is India's largest online shopping portal, invited me to be a part of an event called 'Celebrity Day' at their office. On Celebrity Day, they choose a celebrity to be their 'Fashion Icon of the Month' and the celebrity visits their office, interacts with employees and shares his/her style tips. So this time they even invited a few bloggers and imagine my luck, Abhay Deol was their fashion icon. And why shouldn't he be? He's dapper and with those dimples can charm the world! What I think really stands out about Abhay's style is the simplicity!

Now it all seems like a dream come true, right? It would have been had I not reached fashionably late. I missed Abhay's interaction with bloggers! But well, I still got a picture. It's my consolation prize.

Here are some of Abhay's favourite looks:

1.) A Suit Jacket paired with jeans.
2.) A waistcoat with a contrast tie and jeans.
3.) A jacket paired with a T-shirt and jeans.
4.) A tailored suit with a skinny tie.

After Abhay left, we bloggers chatted with some of the employees about their website. We gave our suggestions on what we thought worked for them and what didn't. The people were warm and friendly and it turned out to be very chilled-out event and I met Abhay Deol!

The bloggers :D

The goodie bag! A diary, pen, coasters, two coffee mugs and a Rs 1000 gift voucher.

The coffee mug signed by Abhay! :D

PrettySecrets Review: Comfy-fit bras

Studying in an all-girls school is a different experience all together. We called our bras 13 12. 13 resembles B and 12 R, get it? It was our secret code. Though, to think of it now, I don't know why we ever needed the code since there were no boys around!

That random bra story because I'm going to tell you about PrettySecrets new range of bras. I received a mail a week ago to review the PrettySecrets Comfy-Fit bras, which they claim is their most comfortable bra yet. And believe you me, they are comfortable! You can wear them all day without wanting to remove them even once. It's underwired, but does not cut into your skin! It's slightly padded and has a three-hook band, which is the perfect size, not too thin or too thick. A thicker band gives better support and for daily use, that's what I would recommend! All this and it's priced at just Rs 599.

They come in pretty neon colours, which I obviously love. I'm tempted to go buy all the colours! But as you can see from the picture above, I ordered me a neon green, pink and black one. I have this funny story about losing all my black bras every single time! There must be a ghost totally in love with my black bras.

The best thing about theses bras is they're COTTON! Now as much as we women love our sexy lacy bras, nothing beats the comfort of a cotton bra for everyday use. And if they come in such edible neon colours, no one's complaining!

Here's a review of their site by me! It is the prettiest pink site.

The people at PS were also sweet enough to send these coasters. Total girl power, isn't it?

Aren't you tempted enough to buy it already? Let me give you a a little incentive too! Here's some coupons for you from PrettySecrets. Happy Shopping, you guys!
