As it begins to get hotter, all I can dream of is escaping to the beach! Doning floral beach dresses, wearing no make up & giving the feet a break from those high heels. While heading to the beach, whether here in Mumbai or while holidaying, I always make sure to carry a beach bag that can easily hold the essentials I would need for those few hours. This bag can easily be carried to the pool as well! I tend to carry a bright printed bikini set, a pair of shorts to throw on later, sunglasses, a Sunscreen with high SPF to protect the skin from sun exposure, a hat, some magazines & a bottle of water! Staying out in the sun for long hours can dehydrate you so it's essential that you carry water with you or you can even switch it up with some coconut water!

Every year at this time, I start my search for some new bikinis and swimwear. I generally tend to buy mine online from certain websites but this year I found some really great ones at Roxy! They had an amazing collection of over 25 styles and the fit is great too! Another thing that got me hooked were the bright & colourful slippers! I got one for me & a few for my mum/friends too. I even found a great beach dress & a beach bag that would match almost all my outfits! So if you're fond of heading out to the beach or for a holiday and you're looking for some beach appropriate clothing and accessories, do visit the Roxy store or you can buy them here. Chances are you will find almost everything under the same roof!

Shoes- Clarks, Shot by- Smaran Sahu

I am so ecstatic to finally introduce you to one of the most exciting projects I have worked on, Clarks Uncovered- A week in my Shoes which is a part of their Style Guide SS '14! I was contacted by their UK based agency back in August to represent India in this fun project where 10 bloggers from all over the world, styled 10 different pairs of shoes from Clarks's brand new Spring/Summer '14 collection! I was generously sent a pair of shoes and an Ipad mini to kick start the project. The theme for this project, was for each blogger to style 5 looks that they would wear through a week, incorporating their daily routine along with showcasing some components of the city they reside in through a film and pictures.

When I was sent over the shoes, I frankly was a little flustered because I never wear wedges or anything close to it. So this was really a challenge for me, to style 5 different looks, that not only compliment the shoes but also depict my sense of style. But as I continued shooting for this project, I realized how comfortable these shoes actually were and that maybe it wasn't such a crazy idea to venture into wedges after all! I will be putting up all the 5 looks throughout this month, one at a time! Until next time, bisous.
