USA Beauty Haul - Sephora and Bath and Body works

So what comes to your mind when someone you know says he\she is travelling to the NYC? Statue of liberty? Wall street? Empire state? Snow? Lots of shopping?

I'm sure for a lot of girls like me the most spontaneous reaction would be - " If you don't mind, here's my shopping list" right? So recently, when my dad found out that hell be travelling to the US even before he announced his travel plans knowng his darling daughter he just said "hand me over your shopping list." Who can resist an offer like that now!!

So I quickly went online checked out all the exclusive beauty products not available here in Mumbai and put them on my list. Here's what all I got from Sephora  and Bath and Body woks (My favourite brand for fragrances) US.

Attending the Lakme Fashion Week - Summer Resort 2013

The last proper story I posted was almost a good 3 weeks back. A lot of things have been keeping me busy offlate. For once the whole of last week I was travelling up north. Which means there will be a lot of travel posts in the next couple of weeks. But as of now I am going to write about the Lakme Fashion week without further delay.

This time I was lucky enough to get passes for the Lakme Fashion week Summer Resort 2013. If you know me well, you would know how much fashion excites me. I am an avid fashion blog reader and till now I have seen fashion weeks and ramp shows only in pictures. 

So this was something that I was really looking forward to. The passes entitled me to attend 2 shows Shehla Khan and Kunal Rawal. While I had some knowledge on Shehla Khan (she's a newbie and her designs are feminine and soft) Kunal Rawal being a men's wear designer did not hold much of my interest.

Here are some pictures of all the excitement that goes at a fashion week:

The buzz before the show

Shehla Khan's collection was titled Boudoir.

Tiered lace dresses

Shehla Khan stuck to her signature style of soft feminine dresses

Karishma Kapoor the showstopper walks with the designer. How awesome does she look!

Kunal Rawal with his showstoppers Arjun Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor. How hot do they look!

What's a fashion show without some Bollywood spotting at the front row

Doing my own bit of posing!

Lakme had set up a makeup booth, where one could get makeup and nails done. Loved the new pop tints!

Overall loved the experience, the buzz, the media and photogs covering the event and ofcourse the fashion spotting. Infact IMHO the fashion spotting off the ramp was even better than the actual shows Looking forward to the next fashion week now.
