This week I received the 'Fashion-Blogger Bee' tag from Femina Magazine. I was thrilled when they told me about it. But I was more excited when I was notified that this is a part of their brand new campaign " For all the women you are " through which they have chosen to put spotlight on the modern Indian women's expanding role & changing equations at home, workplace, social space, personal life and online space. I am humbled to be a part of this amazing campaign which aims at women empowerment and supporting it in every form. You can check out Femina's facebook page for more information on this. Here's a video shot by Anurag basu, featuring Kalki Koechlin celebrating the relaunch campaign - it denotes the quintessential woman - in all roles of her life. Link

In other news, I'm looking forward to watch the new Planet of the Apes movie which is releasing this Friday and I am also eagerly awaiting the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour which is happening all through out this weekend. Will try and post outfit pictures and other stuff from the event.

The Nature's Co.

I received a couple of products from The Nature's Co. a few days ago. I have used one of their products before (the water lily mist) and I absolutely loved it. They have products for hair, skin and body which are divided into 5 different categories:- Atmosphere, Starrize, Foressence, Earthborne and Aquaspark. All their products are cruelty free and vegan. Now on to the products that I received for the purpose of a personal review- The Chocolate-Mint Body Butter and The French Muguet-Jasmine Body Mist.

i) Chocolate Mint Body Butter

This is from their Earthborne line. This is also something that is going to replace my current moisturizer. To begin with the very obvious, I love the scent. The texture is so creamy and thick, it would nourish every cell in your skin. I've tried it for almost a week now and I really felt like it made my skin softer and stayed on for longer.This one suited me better also because it's specifically made for people with Combination skin.The jar contains 200ml which is approximately 6.7Oz of product so it's going to last you for a really long time.I also really like the packaging on this product. It's going to leave your skin soft and supple every time you apply it. However this doesn't have SPF and hence I would use it in the night before sleeping or on the days when I am not stepping out in the sun. I've done this for a few days now and i wake up with the softest skin!This one is a definite favourite.

ii) French Muguet- Jasmine Body Mist

Since the past 3 months I have been addicted to the Victoria Secret's Delicate Petal body mist. I love wearing body mists and hence I was pretty excited to see this product in the box. To begin with the scent- I am not a big fan of the scent. I prefer the water lily mist over this one only because I prefer more water based scents. For those of you who enjoy the smell of Jasmine, jump on to this one. It smells just like jasmine, stays on for about 2-3 hours which is pretty much how long any body mist generally stays. It's a strong scent but it's not overwhelming in any way. (It's perfect to make you feel fresh in the middle of a crazy day!) The bottle has a nice shape and it contains 100ml of the product, which would last you for a decent amount of time (depending on how addicted you get to it). Oh and this is from their Atmosphere line.

You can buy all their products online, here's the link. And you could of course visit their stores at your nearest Mall. I recently visited the one at Palladium, Mumbai. As soon as you pass the store, the scents will draw you to them! I picked up a few products and I have few more on my list for next time! The Hazelnut body lotion is a must try! Love the scent! They also have a discount going on currently at the stores. And you could get you a complimentary massage on a purchase of Rs.1000 and above! That's some perk! Do check them out as and when you get to.

Chiffon & blue.

Tank- Zara, Skirt- zara, Oversized lace shirt- manxcatstore, Shoes- Aldo, Bag- Zara, Cuff- random street in Goa, Ring- Veromoda

This is probably my favourite skirt for summer. I love the fabric, the colour, the way it looks so flowy and how I can team it with so many different things! I also think I have a thing for tan/brown bags! I have over 10 of them but this one is probably the one I'd use the most! It's so compact and easy to carry! Adore it! For the question of this post; Do you wear make up on a daily basis?- Yes I do. I wear some tinted moisturizer along with some mascara, kohl and a dash of lip balm. I sometimes wear a bronzer too!

Summer Stripes

Shirt- Flea market, Skirt- Zara, Bag- ShopStyledrive, Shoes- Zara, Rings- Aldo, Forever New, Thrifted

I am so addicted to Beyonce's new music album. I know that's a random note to start on but I am completely hooked. On another random note, I have been loving White this summer, which is very unusual for me but I think it's one of things this blog has given me. I do, wear so many different styles and colours because I some how  feel more confidence than I did before.(Thank you! You guys make me confident with all your lovely feedback!). 

I am usually faced with SO many questions which I am sure most of the other bloggers are too! How tall are you? How much do you weigh? What do you eat? Do you eat at all? Do you workout? Do you follow a diet? Are you sponsored by a brand? Does your boyfriend buy you everything? Do you own everything you wear? Blah blah blah. So I've decided that with every post I shall answer one of the questions asked to me, saves me the time of writing emails and lets you know a little more about me. For this post: How tall am i? - I am about 5ft. 6inches.

Being me.

Shirt-Zara, Pants-(can't remember), Shoes- Aldo, Envelope bag- Thrifted, Ring- Aldo, Cuff- Flea market

This was an outfit I wore to my brother's birthday dinner. Happy Birthday A! For the millionth time I built an outfit around one clothing piece that I persistently wanted to wear and this time over it was the shirt. I am an animal print lover, no matter who says what! I am also in love with these new Aldo platform chunky heels! I might be getting a few more of these kinds, the Jeffery Campbell Sabine are on my list! If you come across any similar kinds online, leave me a link below or on my Facebook or Twitter !

World of my own.

Cutout Shirt- Zara, Skirt- Zara, Wedges- Aldo, Bag- Mango, Ring- Aldo, Necklace- Flea market, Sunglasses- Forever New, Nailpolish- OPI's Funny Bunny

The title pretty much defines what my past few weeks have been like. I am sorry for being MIA but this was for me the time of the year when I couldn't care less about who expects what from me because all I can think of is delighting myself. Everyone who just thought in their head that I am selfish, I bet you have these days too. So my past few weeks have included innumerable visits to the salons and spas, lots of shopping and even more window shopping, more family time, some reading and various dinners. Another factor that has lead to this scarcity of posts is  the current lazy weather of this city. I swear, I can sleep ALL day without feeling bad about it! Anyway now I'm back and I'm here to stay! Also, I finally managed to set up the SHOP section of Styledrive after contemplating for months and with help from my creative genius (boyfriend). So check it out!

A different outlook

OFF Subject - I recently learnt the meaning of choosing and how difficult a process it can be. When I was learning psychology, a few years ago, I didn't understand why a  certain psychologist had to rant about 4 different types of conflicts and the ways to deal with them! I mean how difficult can it be to choose between  black or white, here or there, Indian or Italian? Turns out choices aren't limited to this and they are certainly not as easy to pick between. Especially when you're faced with opportunities as good as the other or as bad, in some cases. I  think the biggest conflict each of us face is whether to be happy or not . Suggestion- Pick happiness, its always the better choice.

ON Subject - I fell in love with this over sized front short back long sheer shirt as soon as I saw it at Zara. And on top of that it had polka dots (which I am currently obsessing over) and it was black and white! 3 good things in a shirt and it's got to be mine. This was the simplest way to incorporate it in an outfit, but I promise I will do more outfits using this shirt in different ways. FYI, for all those people who have purchased bright coloured trousers this season(one or a ton), this shirt could look good with any of those colours!

P.S. Thanks for all your lovely feedback. I have been receiving a lot of questions and comments regarding my photographer, in case you want to contact him or check out his work in other avenues, log onto N7Photography.
