Hello again my lovelies! Yet another unisex blog for you people on casual wear as it has always been so challenging. We want a comfortable style but don’t want to look that flashy yet stylish. Then casual wear is your best fit but we don’t like to come out of our comfortable pajamas and want to make an impression on friends and family or may be on a date 😉 of having a good style. Now here comes the real challenge but why fear when blender is here. I got solution for both of us , as my friend (dopeboy) who has really amazing casual style will be handling male section here.
I hope you guys are enjoying this festive season . So talking about festival Durga pujo is around the corner and I’m already so elevated in my own excitement , couldn’t find any better way to explain. I do not belong to bengali family though I look like one sometimes . 🙂 I was so fascinated by their festival and makeup , I couldn't resist myself from searching more.
Later I learnt that it’s most celebrated festival among bengalis though we celebrate these days too but as navratri , gujratis do garba and many other states and religions might be having their own customs. So moving on to what I found was it’s a 6 day day fest starting from panchami and ends on what we call dussehra ( Dashmi ). Bengali community tends to wear new clothes all 6 days even twice a day as it’s their major festival. ( So banta hai 🙂 ) They basically contribute among them and arrange pandals for this 6 day long fest. Pandals are open for everyone you can also visit and enjoy their cultural programs . And on the last day ladies play holi with sindoor , offer sweets and hugs each other which signifies strong bond and selfless nature. #womenhood
Like I said I was so mesmerised by their festival and customs . I decided to recreate their outfits and wanted to experience their festive affair. 😉 So what I did was I curated few styles and trends and with that I got you guys 3 Durga pujo outfit ideas. I hope you guys find them useful and wearable.
So scroll down . 🙂
Classic one !
This look is inspired by their traditional outfit which they wear on dashmi too. I wore their traditional white and red border saree in their style with these Shakha (white bangles ) and Pola ( red bangles ) in both my hands as it’s really auspicious to them . And Ofcourse wearing gold and alta is utmost importance to them . I have put all my efforts to represent their culture and heritage.
Look Trendy this Pujo!
So for this I didn’t want to experiment much and at the same time I wanted to do some because that’s something I always do #experimentalfashion . So I kept the red colour intact and paired it with crop top , boots and baker boy hat. I decided to wear no jewellery and bold eyes . But you can always wear and still rock with this look on Durga Pooja and impress with your vibrance. ^_^
Let’s fuse a little!
Like the heading says I decided on fusing a little here and wanted loud eyes and some gold tones . So I tuned with my printed pants and crop top . Later added golden on my wedges , scarf and earrings. And yes, you are all set for pooja. This outfit can be worn by young girls too and when you decide to wear this one . I bet you’ll get more compliments on not looking your age. 😉
So these are all my outfits and I hope you find them handy and look forward to try out. I have also made a video on how to do makeup of durga pooja If you plan to recreate any of these. Don’t forget to tag me as I love seeing your pretty pictures . It keeps me motivated.
I love monsoons , actually I have to anyways. 😛 As I have my birthday in monsoon …Haha! Ok so here I’m to share my monsoon secrets for glamorous and easy life .
TIP 1
Wear dark color clothes and skip tight fits : As simple it sounds, light clothes could catch dirt easily during monsoon and of course you know what rain dance use to do when we wear at school and all of sudden everything is see-through. Also tight clothes could be a better mediator for catching cold. So beware . 😛
TIP 2
Big ‘No’ to long dresses : A little walk in flowy dresses with your friends and family sounds so fascinating on beaches . Yes, unless it’s not long as we don’t want to show that mud at the bottom of our dresses on Instagram pictures . 😛 Right girls ? 😛 Of course a little Photoshop does not harm . 😀 So must have got my point for rainy days too .
Pro tip : As we girls love long dresses so I got a hack . Wear ankle length dresses instead . 😛
TIP 3

Avoid oxidized jewellery : It’s a simple logic oxidized jewellery turn black when it comes in contact with rain water . So wear them at your own risk or you are bored of them and want to give them a new look . 😛
TIP 4

Say ‘ YES ‘ to plastic footwear : Of course girls it’s trendy ! And this trend is super genius i think, as it is so stylish and protects them from damage of course. Plus in clear plastic footwear, you gotta flaunt that beautiful feet of yours too. Yayyyy!!!
Pro tip : Don’t use leather footwear on rainy days even you can avoid anything made of leather on these days like clutch , bags etc.
TIP 5

So in this blog I combined my favorite looks from the season and posted here. Lets scroll down to explore ^_^ .
Floral dresses takes my heart!!
Floral dresses are perfect for summers and wearing them gives a cheerful vibe and joy inside . I love wearing floral dresses whether they are short , long or midi . As they are so breathable and accessorizing it with cute pieces like bandana , funky earrings and many more just make it perfect for any outing with friends and family.
Pop up color is instant charmer!!
I love adding colours to my outfit and make it pop and it’s super easy if you are wearing a solid coloured dress just add contrasting colours in your accessories like bag , scarf , earrings etc etc. You can just wear contrasting footwear and yeah you are good go for any event or party . 🙂
Just make it short and cute !!

So that’s it for this blog , I ‘ll be back with another blog super soon till then comment down below and let me know which look you guys liked the most and if you guys love wearing slit skirts I got a perfect article for you .
I thought of sharing my experience to “Majnu-ka-tilla”. Its a place located in north Delhi. I’ve heard a lot about this place. So one fine day I made up my mind to go there. I must admit that in just a single day I gained a lot of knowledge about that place. Basically it is a Tibetan refugee centre. When I reached there, i was kinda lost where to go. So, we were just goofing around . After some time i started enjoying and exploring things. The funny part was we were roaming on the same street again and again. 😀 We realised it when we encountered this Buddhist prayer wheel . 😀
There are a number of shops for home decor and many other antiques but one category which stands out is clothing shops . Myself being a shopaholic i bumped into them. I really liked the stuff , the clothes were really fashionable, designs were similar to brands like Zara, forever21 and many online sites. Starting range of clothes was 1200 bucks . But one thing i can say is the quality was also quite good. So yeah , it was worth the price.
Meanwhile we came to know about this famous street food of this place. They call it laphing . It is a very popular spicy street dish among Nepalese and Tibetan usually made from cold mung bean or potato starch . This cool and spicy dish, especially refreshing during summers , is very tasty . But i call it TIBETAN KHANDVI. 🙂 The taste and look is quite similar. #noooffence
Later on we went to this cafe called “ama cafe “. We were really hungry so we odered wide variety of foods . As you can see in this picture. 😛 As i m a foodie , i thought of little experiment . So, we ordered a pizza with black fungus. But honestly telling , never ever order this pizza . 😛 I didn’t like it. Then the sandwiches and fries came to our rescue. XD.
But MUD CAKE Stole the show. I loved it. It totally did.
We ordered so much that we were not able to finish it. XD
P.S. food looks better than me. XDXDXDXD Outfits details Top | Myntra Boots | newlook Jeans | veromoda Earrings | club factory
I hope you liked this blog stay tuned for more travel stories. 🙂 Bbye xoxo <3 <3
Whenever it comes to travelling we think of travelling with group of friends or family isn’t it?? Have you ever thought of travelling alone to completely unknown place?? This time I have got something really interesting for you guys, which is required as a need of the hour. As we all heard a lot about solo travel but many of us are afraid of trying it out and moreover people sometimes feel introvert and not comfortable to connect with strangers or people. But if we see the bigger picture, people in India might feel unsafe to travel. You know we take a step back before even trying it out because we see lot of demerits of the thing. But I believe nowadays, people spend more time solo than ever and look to go solo in life. So why not travel solo and BOOM you’ll be your own BOSS at your trip. You can do whatever you want to do independently and will be able to explore yourself as well. (#MeTime) We all need that one trip to relax and freshen up our minds.
Travelling alone can boost to or improve our own confidence and help us in being more expressive and extrovert in front of public or an audience. It may lead to improvement in our communication with strangers which can make us an awesome travel mate while traveling with a local or other solo traveler. Bingo 🙂 Travel dating may help you to learn handling with adverse situations as you get to visit a new place and interact with strangers which can be a whole new experience for many of us. There are 4 best reasons to Travel Solo: Adjustment Issues: It can be challenging to adopt a trip with a travel buddy if the choices are different. Sometimes it’s even more difficult when one tries to implement plans with a group. The shortage of time can’t find a travel partner, so that may be the perfect time to pack the bags and go anyway. Challenge Yourself: Solo tour describes you are stronger than you think. While connecting within traveler’s social network, one can find a travel companion. But, it will not develop the potential and passion for travelling as you have. Some of us have a support system that helps us manage in our daily lives. Traveling solo gives the time to decrease down, spend, and reflect that quality time with themselves that one may often forget in their busy schedules. Accompany Yourself:If one rarely spends great time alone, they may feel surprised at how enjoyable it can be. Just truly listen to your thoughts and enjoy the dreams. Depending on the venue, there will be no need for atravel companion. The solo trip will be an intense, auto-suggestive, life-changing experience. Is it possible to think and sit silently in the morning without having to make a conversation with anyone? This can be possible with the solo journey. No Show-off:Sometimes a single person waits and prefers travel dating but when a person is dating someone before; there are times when one takes a vacation away from that relationship. Solo travelling will give you a chance to explore the real you without compromising on anything else. You see how many benefits are there of a solo trip. 😉 So guys after reading this are you feeling motivated to travel alone? 🙂 I’m totally into a mood to go for a solo trip.
Stay tuned for my next article. I will keep sharing more such new and unique content with you guys.
