Model Diary- A Day In My Life

People always think modelling is super fun and easy and most times it is but there are days like today when you have to be patient, calm, look great and then change 25 times!!! 

So my day started early coz my reporting time was 10am in Andheri . I arrived 10 minutes late and apologised to everyone coz I am usually early and I always respect people's time. Little did I know that the hairstylist is going to be 1 hour late & now I have been ready with hair and makeup for over an hour but not shooting. 

So after I was ready they told me to wait coz they wanted to shoot 14 changes with the other model first and here I am waiting for over an hour! It's 1.30 in the afternoon and I haven't even started shooting !!! And guess what! When I start I have 25 changes coz this is a catalog shoot!!! 

So as you can see most days in the life of a model have no trace of Glamour and fun ! I'm going back to editing videos on my laptop now since I have the time  :)

The Bridal Beauty Survival Kit For Estylista.com

Every bride doesn't want to just look her best on her wedding day, she wants flawless skin, shiny hair , Deepika Padukone's outfits  and Kate Upton's body too! And somehow just on that day you skin,body and hair turn out to be your biggest enemies. But don't worry ladies I have put together a "Bridal Beauty Survival Kit" thats going to help you fight  all your enemies and look like a princess on your wedding day.

So here's what you need...

• Cotton Buds-  Most brides cry and smudge they mascara and kajal and end up looking like their groom has given them a black eye! Ok now this may sound grosse but it works better than any  makeup remover in the world. Take a cotton bud and dab the end in your spit and just wipe the area you need to clean and voila you have mascara free skin!
• Flutivate Gel-  Getting a zit just before the wedding is every brides worst nightmare. Use this gel over the zit 3 times a day and it will magically disappear. This is easily available at any chemist but you might want to check with your doctor before using it if you have sensitive skin.
• Beer- Don't worry I'm not trying to get you drunk! Beer is great for your hair and if you want nice shiny and smooth hair just rinse your hair with beer the night before the wedding.
• Potatoes- If you have dark circles just take a potato and stick it in the freezer and then slice it and put it on your eyes. This really works!!!
• Carmex lip balm- Use carmex lip balm for 2 days before the wedding and you will have lovely soft moist lips. The reason I recommend it is coz its meant for really cold weather and is quite heavy duty and effective as compared to other lip balms.
• Swiss Army Knife- Every bride needs one of these!!! its got a nail file so you don't need to worry about chipped nails, a tweezer to get that one patch of hair your waxing lady missed, a scissor to cut off loose threads or labels from your designer outfit and a toothpick so you never have food stuck between your teeth.
• Spanx- If you want to look like a supermodel in a lengha then you need something thats going to shape you up. Every celebrity wears spanx under their designer threads to look their best so why shouldn't you?
• Green Tea- Its calming,sliming and will help you detox after you have eaten a 100 laddus! 

So ladies this is my bridal beauty survival kit. I hope all you bridezillas turn into princesses with all my wedding essentials.

 Watch me Here as I get ready for a big fat Indian wedding !!!

Accessorize's Autumn/Winter Campaign With Tamsin Egerton

Hi my lovelies!!! 

As you all know, I love my accessories and what better store for them than Accessorize? I absolutely love the current campaign of Accessorize which includes winged handheld totes, slouchy oversized clutches and chic colour-blocked hobos – and exaggerated heirloom style jewellery adorning the face of the 2013 autumn/winter campaign - Tamsin Egerton. Tamsin is an English actress and model, rumoured to be dating Josh Hartnett (sigh!). She is best known for her roles as Chelsea Parker in the 2007 film St Trinian’s, Holly Goodfellow in Keeping Mum, and Guinevere in the 2011 TV series Camelot, and most recently she played Fiona Richmond in the film ‘The Look of Love’. The campaign, shot by Ben Weller who in his kitty, has shot for Vogue around the world, and styled by Naomi Miller, former Harper Bazaar’s stylist has new look studio shots for the for the brand, all styled with a clean, sharp edge. A London-girl-about-town feel is seen with Egerton carrying the season’s most coveted bags.

 The campaign moves on to reach out to the brand’s more grown-up styling for October, with Egerton showcasing fashion-forward day clutches and look-at-me jewels. November sees the actress transformed into a street-savvy stylista with on-trend boyfriend beanies and statement knitted scarves.  

December delivers the brand’s Christmas shots, with Egerton embracing the famous glitzy side of Accessorize; think endlessly sparkling gemstones and heavily embellished clutches; picture perfect for the up and coming party season.  In fact Tamsin is quite experimental with her style and says that she gets bored doing the same look over and over again. Her style is flouncy, girly one moment and masculine and structured the next. (Just like me, tee hee). I can’t wait to try her fave pieces from the collection which are the gold & black bracelets (that I’d love to add to my usual stack on my hand) the gold rings as you could mix and match as many or a little as you like to create different looks. The rings actually work really well together with the bracelets.

The coming party season means lots of new looks to try and lots of accessories to flaunt. Accessorize’s new campaign has definitely caught my eye and would probably be my one-stop-shop for the party season’s jewelry shopping. Has it made it to yours yet?

The Closet Label Haul

Hello my lovelies,
           Sorry I haven't put up a post in a few days. I am in Jaipur in the middle of a big fat Indian wedding . I wanted to share two of my lovely outfits from The Closet Label that I have been wearing in Jaipur. I ordered 3 items from the website and I couldn't decide which to carry on my trip so I carried them all including the super cute cloth bag with a bow that they arrived in. I love it and its going to be my shopping bag here !!!! So heres what I got...

This gorgeous dress came with the belt.

Check out my new flats!!!

This lovely skirt is from the Closet Label. I thought I'd dress it up with my
bandhani dupatta since I was in Jaipur. :

This is the super cute bag my stuff arrived in!

So guys you must check out The Closet Label and buy some fun stuff. Of my three items which was your favourite ?

#OOTD - Diwali Dressing

Hello my lovelies,
         I am not much of an ethnic dresser and I must admit I barely have any Indian clothes. But theres something about Diwali that makes me wanna dress up in all my Indian finery!  All the Indian outfits I own are fit for weddings and big occasions and are definitely a tad bit too much for my Diwali outings. Every Diwali I  go to 3 places, first to my boyfriends house to wish him and his mum and then for my daddy's office pooja and finally to my friend Nandini's Diwali party.

        Each year I have to come up with two outfits, one for the day and one for the night .  For the day I don't like to wear something heavy so its usually an indo-western  sort of an outfit or a simple kurti with jeans. And for the night I dress up for the party !!! Now this is a challenge every year coz I try and wear something different and as I said I don't have too many Indian outfits in my wardrobe . So heres what I wore this Diwali...

For the day I wore a black and gold Indian print skirt with a Forever 21 vest
& accessorised with my Valliyan Necklace and bangles from the Kalaghoda festival

I just wore lipstick during the day and opted for a nice clean no make up look.

For the night I wore this lovely Malini Ramani Dress with a sequinned gold clutch from
Fashionalized, my green Lisa Jackal wedges  and the same bangles.

Happy Diwali from Vaibhav & me !!!

My New Asos Mang Tikka

A couple of months ago I ordered two lovely mang tikkas from Asos.com and I can't tell you how much I love them!!!! For those of you who don't know what a mang tikka is, it is a piece of jewellery that you wear in the middle of your head when you part your hair. It use to be a typical Indian piece of jewellery that women wore with a sari or a lengha but now the mang tikka has gone global ! Just think about it, I am an Indian who lives in Mumbai and I have ordered an tikka from England off Asos! Its not like you can't get tikkas here but the ones on Asos are really cool with floral designs and spikes which I honestly haven't seen here.

So I finally wore my new tikka to the ASMALLWORLD  launch party at Bungalow 8! What do think?

I teamed my tikka with a floral maxi from Sarojini Nagar, Delhi and Lisa Jackal wedges.

Bloggers Day Out At Lancôme

       Lancôme invited a bunch of bloggers to their store at Phoenix Mills to introduce us  to their additions Teint Visionnaire, a skin transforming foundation and Visionnaire Yeux, their ultimate advanced eye contour corrector. It was a lovely event with pampering rituals, an introduction to their new products and a personalised make up session with Chirag. Their skin experts also sat me down and analysed my skin and asked me about my skincare regime to which I replied " Im really lazy and I use nothing." Hehe at least I was being honest.  So she recommended some products and gave me samples to try as well. 
     I never knew they had a ritual room at the store and I think most of you will find this information quite interesting. So you can walk into the store they will  give you a consult and ritual so you can experience the product first hand and see if it works for your skin. I think this is great coz a lot of us buy really expensive skin care products without really making sure if they are right for our skin type or are right for the place you live in. So this is a great way to make sure your buying the right product, just try some and then walk around the mall for a few hours and see how your skin takes to it.

   And after all this they gave me a lovely goodie bag too!!! Can't wait to try all my new Lancôme products !!!!

I want all!!!!!
