Hello, you beautiful people! Welcome to the first day of the Fall Party! If you are following me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, then you might know I have announced to host a Fall Party on my blog. This party will be a week long with a new post each day till next Saturday (10th October). Make sure to engage with this activity as much as possible and make it a hit!
I chose to post a tag post on the first day just to introduce myself to you guys. Today I am doing the ‘I Love Fall Tag’. I was tagged by Sana from Sana’s Ramblings. Sana is a Pakistani beauty blogger and she has an awesome blog! Make sure to check out the blog. In this post I will be answering a few questions about Fall that Sana asked me. Let’s get started!
Hello all, how are you doing? I can’t believe September is about to bid goodbye and October is not too far away. I can’t suppress my excitement as Durga Puja starts on October 19th!! Gosh, one more year passed! Anyways, today’s post is going to be an OOTD post. A few weeks ago, we spontaneously planned for a day-out with our friends. This was an impromptu OOTD so excuse me for the quality of photos. I brought the usual point and shoot camera with me. The background and lighting aren’t as good as they should have been as the trip was not meant for photography. Anyhoo, I succeeded in choosing some good quality pictures for this post as I eagerly wanted to share the outfit with you guys.
You guys might know that I am not an ‘ethnics’ person. I feel extremely comfortable in my jeans or chinos and oversized blouses. I rarely choose to wear ethnic outfits only if there is any traditional function or wedding. This is the reason I merely have 4-5 traditional outfits. If I ever choose to wear an ethnic attire, I make sure that it is not heavy, bland and most importantly conventional.
The Kurti that I am wearing is my favourite at this moment because it is very lightweight, it has 3/4 sleeves and it has a high-low cut which is just what I need in my ethnics- cool, classy, casual! The material is Poly Crepe which is not breathable yet comfortable.
My sling bag is from Caprese. I love the faux leather material. The black and gold combo gives it a oomph. I love slings bags so much and this one is my current favourite!
That’s all about this post. Hope you like my outfit. Please let me know in the comments. I will come back with a new post soon. Till then, be happy & keep smiling!
My favourites of Day 1 of the Lakme Fashion Week are-
- ILK by Shikha Goel and Vinita Adhikari- ILK brought some freshness to the ramp with their ‘out of the box’ idea of fashion. From checkered prints to shirt-saree combo to sweatshirt dress, their collection reigned the ramp with individuality.
- Nikhil Thampi– Nikhil Thampi succeeded in wooing the audience as usual with his classy and elegant designs. He described his collection, Alchemy, to be an ‘amalgamation of modern and mythical India’. His clothes had the aspects of two sides of India, one modern and another classics. From bold colours to neutrals, his design was truly appropriate for a new-edge bride. I loved his collection!
- Manish Malhotra- How can I forget mentioning the man himself, Manish Malhotra. His designs always set the stage on fire. He showed some seriously classy dark colours, bold prints and bollywood style sequin work. The men’s collection was totally a pleasure to look at. And yes, the ever-so-hot ‘Kapoor lad’ was the show-stopper!
- Rinku Sobti- I liked the vibrant hues and out of the box designs of her collection. She re-created some modern designs on Indian fabrics. The gorgeous, Gauahar Khan walked the ramp for her.
- Anita Dongre- Designer Anita Dongre exhibited an exquisite collection of designs featuring her line, Grassroot which showcased outfits inspired by different Indian handicrafts. She also featured the Gujarati craftswomen in her show.
My favourites from Day 3 are-
- Ankur & Priyanka Modi (am:pm)– With monochromes to bold colours and motifs , Ankur and Priyanka Modi was able to make there own footprints on the ramp.
- Namrata Joshipura– Namrata Joshipura made a stunning spectrum of blue on the ramp with her collection. The cute Shraddha Kapoor walked the ramp for her. Here’s a look-
- Masaba Gupta– The vibrant hues and quirk prints made Masaba Gupta’s show a memorable one at the Lakme Fashion Week, 2015. Sooraj Pancholi walked the ramp for her.
- Urvashi Kaur– I loved the pastels and monochromatic hues and simplistic designs by her. She proves that fashion is not always the glitz and glamour.
- Anushree Reddy– Anushree Reddy’s show was full of bridal inspired clothing. From pastels to florals and sequin works, it was a delight to my eyes.
- Tarun Tahiliani– Tarun Tahiliani showcased the exquisite collection from Reliance Trends. His collection was gorgeous with basic bold colours like black with gold detailing, reds with geometric prints and grey with simplicity.
- Gaurav Gupta– This post will be incomplete without the mention of a magnificent Grand Finale by Gaurav Gupta, who transformed the ramp into a fairy tale. I have been reading different posts on social medias and saw some pictures and it was a delight to my eyes. This is a true example where fantasy met fashion and elegance met excellence. This was a perfect closing for this year’s Lakme Fashion Week. The bold and beautiful, Kareena Kapoor Khan walked the ramp for him.

Finishing touches
Before I proceed, let me tell you about micellar waters. Micellar waters are solutions that remove makeup and cleanse your face without the need to wash off. You can cleanse your face with a micellar water and just go to bed right after that. No fuss, right?
Now, let’s jump into the review-
Product: The product is a water-based formula with a substantial cleansing property. It even looks like water. It is mildly scented although it is said to be fragrance-free. The best part is that it doesn’t contain alcohol.
My Experience: I love using a toner after cleansing my face. It gives me a feeling of the cleaner face. I have been using the Bioderma Sensibio H2O for a month and I can say I am totally impressed by its quality. This multipurpose solution helps to remove makeup (even the most stubborn ones) as well as cleanse and tone your skin. As a perk for lazy people, it doesn’t require to be washed off afterwards (but I like to wash my face to finish off the cleansing process). I don’t like my toners to be scented but this one just bothers me much because it is subtly scented. It is safe for eyes. It doesn’t irritate my eyes or trouble my vision. It removes makeup very well and without any hassle. It is able to remove waterproof makeup from my eyes so gently without pulling and tugging. That’s definitely a great thing.
