Sheer affair

Hey Fashionistas,

How is everybody doing ?Are you guys having a ball time ?

This post is few weeks delayed due to crazy schedules .You all know what a city girl has to go through , before doing something like this , before doing something she really really wants :) But yes she does what she wants at the end. Its all good - when end justifies the means !!

It is a post on the trend I'm currently crushing, no wait let me stand corrected ,actually forever crushing since my good high school days -"Sheer" . You can throw away sheer with almost everything and you're ready to paint the town red !! Like literally :)

So it was my birthday on the last 17th , I was turning a year older ,a year wiser ,a year smarter ,a year more focussed etc etc. It was a time when I was made to feel like a princess who rules the world atleast her own world in all ways .Felt so special & isolated with happiness - if you know what I mean .

I had a mind-blowing catch up session with bffs , shopped till my heart wanted and my wallet was lighter , cakes ,wines ,sheesha & the surprises .

Here are some pics from the D - day :

With some Bling accessories & my neon Floral clutch

 

My Sheer Cobalt Blue Top

Whats on the Menu

And when the bff makes you pose & you do so happily :)

It's my Bday okay !!!

Some Sheesha,Ice tea & Posing :P

Are you also big on sheesha like me ? Actually little things like these make me merry. That's isn't a bad thing right. I am glad that I feel blessed .

On another note , are you also like me when you get upset when your B'day ends *puppy face*

John Abraham introduces new range of Personal Grooming for Indian men by Philips

Hello Friends , 

How have you been ?

You would very much relate to the fact I have been gushing over meeting my favorite Poster Boy -John Abraham-Yes you heard that right  .  I'm still pinching myself :P 

As if I was over from the goodness of the last evening  wool mark's grand event which I attended and shared with you all already click Here for a detailed event post ,the next day was this Philips event that I most certainly had to attend . 

Here I go sharing with you the excerpts : 

John Abraham introduces Indian men to Personal Grooming by Philips

Held at The Oberoi  ,20 July 2012, New Delhi.

There was noise ,unrest and robust conversations over hot cuppa coffee amongst the present awaiting the hearthrobbing Brand ambassdor -Yes I am talking about John Abharam

The Eminent Marketing Professionals of Philips India Including the Dynamic -Aarushi Agarwal, Director Marketing, Personal Care, Consumer Lifestyle, Philips India left no stone unturned to communicate the efficiency of their new launched range . There was a detailed presentation on the evolution of men & how the tools for the modern men has evolved . 

They shared that they intend to make male grooming much easier with their extensive range of male grooming products & the interesting statistics of men using the grooming products today .

The Launch was done by John Abharam - Bollywood actor and Philips Male Grooming brand ambassador , he joined the conversation that why he loves the Brand .

John has a perfectly chiselled body but he shared that he aspires for a more perfect one. He makes no bones in accepting that Body is his religion & he never cheats on himself and is very conscious of right eating .Some food for thought .

John spoke on the sidelines of a launch , a new product aimed at men who like to keep a neatly trimmed chest, back, shoulders and more. The actor sported a smooth look in the 2008 film “Dostana”, and he reiterates that it’s good to be clean !

When the House was open for questions , here s what I asked him  : 

Me( In crazy excitement ) - Hi everyone & John -I am a Delhi based Fashion Blogger, I don't really have a question , but I can't let the opportunity go without speaking with you (yes i said that -candid ), which product would you choose to recommend to my a guy & why would you recommend that product .

John (Snappily ) -Bhawna ( omg that 's my name ) I would suggest Smooth & Sharp Razor & I love it because it is very easy to use . 

Me - John , Must pay u a compliment that you look in great form & you look equally good as you look on screen .

John - Blushes - literally . 

Me - Pinching myself again!!!

Further :  

Philips is looking at serving the urban male, who is spending more and more time and money on his appearance and lifestyle, by uniquely delivering effective, easy to use, high quality men's products and backing it with experience and knowledge tools online and in-store.

Some pics from the event  : 

In Conversation - John Abharam

Yayy !!!

Some Posing

Hope you liked the post .

Also , I must add here,John just charmed  me & had no " I am a celeb" air around him , which made me realise humility is so attractive . Isnt ?

Lots more coming up ,I say .

Stay tuned & keep rocking .

Cheat-code

Hey There , 

And Finally I'm here ,Being so consumed with nerve wrecking assignments, was taking me away from this and not just because of laid back strings .

So I m here with , with my 2 cents of love for fashion and I adore sharing it :D .

You all know that by now !!!   "We all do that we love what we ought to love to do"  .

Summer cravings are at their best & yearning for few cheat codes to the grim of summers and just stay fashionable in our own ways. Unveiling the cheat code : Tranquil of white 

White is ethereal, serene and a color, which blends beautifully with day wear and stands out immaculately as an evening attire. So, no wonder then, our celebs love this shade and never fail to make a style statement, when wearing white. Take a look...

White is Quintessential in the scorching heat and its no more a secret !

A little white dress is chic-est & vital-est.

While the summer is in full swing , lets be playful still with our respective white-s : 

Few Inspirations & Tips to wear white as a neutral basic yet stylish-Ly : 

An Off shoulder White Dress is a show stopper .

White Layered dress with a chunky neck piece and put on a neutral color Blazer to add Sophistication

Brooklyn Decker in a cropped jacket & a summer white dress and nude tie up ballet & animal print clutch

CB with her quote & a lovely lace white dress

                                               

Styling tip would be - If you are wearing white , add some color pop . Accessorize with envelope clutches , heels and just go with the flow . White is a basic and you add any bling, it would never be OTT .
And I must add her here "5 Must Have" whites for this season : 

• White clutch / Bag are perfect accessories for any outfit / any season.
• A short white denim skirt/shorts are must haves 
• White slim fit jeans would never let you down and you can so much mix and match 
• A well fit white blazer can add charm to any outfit ( FYI beaming that I just bought one -just waiting to debut)
• A little white dress just as essential as your LBD . 

Any more ideas that I missed - I'm listening ....Share !! 
Keep the Fashion alive till we meet next with the new ideas :) 

Lots of Love
