A Sporty Soiree with the Audi Autumn Collection 2015
Think luxury, elegance, style and remarkable performance, the German car brand Audi, which boasts of an ever evolving journey since 1885, is all that and much more. Always swooned at the sight of a luxurious and classy Audi? You may have noticed how a few others around you on a busy street must have 'sighed', as the gorgeous automobile passed by all of you.
Now imagine this - 5 new cars from Audi's stunning new sporty collection, zooming ahead on the runway, leaving all the car loving folks wanting for more. Well, I witnessed something similar at a recent event in Mumbai, where the perfect amalgamation of Fashion and Cars was showcased. The Audi Autumn Collection 2015 event saw an audience full of fashion enthusiasts and automobile fanatics, who just couldn't stop trying to get a perfect photograph of their favorite cars, on their respective phones, iPads and DSLRs.
And yes, I was one of them. You must have noticed my Twitter timeline already, eh?
Luxury on my Wrist | Rado
Hello folks! It's that time of the month when rains lash across the city and the gloomy climate is forcing (most of us) to tuck under a comfortable blankie, with a hot cuppa in one hand and a beautiful book in the other. So, all of us can do with a little bit of sunshine, right? And what if I told you, it can be wrapped around your wrist, is extremely elegant and has just the right amount of bling. Well, the 'sunshine' that I am referring to here is not your usual, round ball of fire that you see up there, in the sky. It's a little beauty called the Rado Esenza Ceramic Touch, which I was introduced to during the #AllWhiteInRado event held at Taj Lands End in Mumbai.
Here's a glimpse of the lovely evening, where select bloggers from the city enjoyed a pleasant tete-a-tete with brand ambassador (the ever so gorgeous) Lisa Ray, over hors d'oeuvre, lip smacking main course, desserts and of course, our elegant stars of the evening - Rado watches.
I have been a self confessed fan of Rado watches since I was a teenager. Buying a classic beauty from their vast collection was and will always be considered as a moment of pride. Since decades, grandparents and parents have known to pass on the legacy (read - a Rado watch) to the next generation. In fact, I remember telling my dad couple of years back (in between adding stuff to my super long bucket list), that someday, I will collect enough money (with my hard work) to buy you, mom and myself this priceless beauty called Rado.

I must add, chatting with the lovely Lisa Ray was an absolute delight. She is extremely warm and added the perfect charm to this chic evening. And yes, she did talk about getting back to blogging very soon. I am definitely looking forward to that, and so should all of you. She is an amazing inspiration for every girl.
And as the wonderful evening came to an end (it was scheduled to be an hour long meet, but we just didn't realize how time passed away), all of us posed for a keepsake. After all, this stylish evening certainly deserved a photograph, that had all the beautiful ladies and debonair gentlemen posing with their favourite Rado watches.
Rado Esenza Ceramic Touch is an exclusive collection for women. It is a touch controlled watch in full ceramic, which can be controlled by the gentle touch and sweep of a finger (left for hours and right for minutes). The watch does not have a crown, which means - bye bye broken finger nails (I know a lot of people who struggle while changing the settings).
Queen for a Day | Taj Salon
Every girl deserves a day full of pampering and I am guessing that is exactly what the wonderful people at Taj Salon wanted us to experience on a sunshine filled Sunday afternoon. Visiting Taj Land's End is always an amazing experience, thanks to the breathtaking sea view that it has to offer. But, what if I told you, the same view can be enjoyed while indulging in a relaxing manicure and pedicure session? Or that the same view can be yours, while you opt for a new hair do. Well yes, Taj Salon believes in offering the best overall experience while you opt for any services and be rest assured that you will walk out with a huge smile on your face.
At least, I did, when they invited me for their Queen for a Day event along with other bloggers!

Here's a glimpse of all the exciting things that we did. Right from enjoying a hair makeover to getting an amazing manicure done while relaxing on the recliner chairs and checking out the sunset, Taj Salon made sure that each one of us gets pampered like a Queen. And yes, a special photo-op area had all of us posing for the shutterbugs with various props. What a day!
All the amazing pampering has made me ready for the work filled week ahead. The salon deserves a special mention for their fantastic pedicures and the location, which offers a stunning view of the Arabian sea. I am definitely coming back for more services.
Have you been to the Taj Salon?

The Moroccan Oil Event
Last week, I was invited to the MoroccanOil event and product launch. Being a self confessed fan of their argan oil treatment, I was looking forward to the launch. I've been using the MorrocanOil treatment for quite sometime, and must say, the results have been pretty good. The venue, Tote on the Turf, was decorated in hues of blue, white and orange. Pretty little silver lanterns, with a bottle of their popular MoroccanOil original treatment, adorned the center tables. Let's take a look at how the event unfolded (there is also an interesting video to watch out for).
Vogue School of Style | Event
Fashionistas from across the city were invited for a 'stylish' evening at 'Tote on the Turf'. Vogue India and Allen Solly organized a wonderful event called 'School of Style', where the Vogue team conducted several sessions related to Fashion and Beauty. This is how I spent my Monday evening, with fellow fashion lovers.

After appetizers and drinks, the event started with Vogue fashion features editor Priyanka Khanna telling us about the 'School of Style'. Priyanka Kapadia (Jr. Fashion editor) then took on from there and discussed wardrobe essentials, must have accessories, how to shop smart amongst others.

Several other styles like 'Quirky prints', 'Party', 'Classic', 'Ethnic' were discussed. Each style was presented with an outfit, to show how certain accessories and prints can be matched to create the perfect look. Both Priyanka Kapadia and Priyanka Khanna then gave us tips on how just one item from the wardrobe can spruce up an outfit. Be it a chunky belt, stacked up bracelets, or even their favourite - metallic clutch.
It was then time for the Beauty editor, Parizaad Khan, to make a small presentation on beauty tips and summer skin care. She also discussed spring - summer 2013's hottest make up trends. Parizaad said that investing in a multi-purpose lip, eye, and cheek stain is a good option. She also suggested many other products that you may want to consider adding to your make up bag - Cleansing water, Dry shampoo, Primer etc. This was followed by the last Q and A session, where audience members got a chance to get their fashion and beauty related queries answered by the Vogue team. The clock struck 9 and it was time to wrap up the session. Priyanka Khanna thanked everyone on behalf of the Vogue team, for attending the 'School of Style' class.
Thus, a wonderful evening came to an end. A big thank you to Vogue India for a fun evening.

Music makes the people come together - HP Connected Music Indiblogger Event
They say, 'First impression is the last impression'. There are many who believe in this theory. Going by the above mentioned statement, the HP connected music event has definitely left a long lasting impression on my mind, with some beautiful moments worth cherishing. This was my first Indiblogger event (I usually end up missing most of the events, thanks to lectures and other priorities). Thankfully, I made it to the venue, although I was late by 10 minutes and the event had started already. Well, better late than never. The venue of the evening was Otto Infinito, a Mediterranean all-day eatery located in Bandra Kurla Complex (Mumbai).The best part was that the tag 'Connected Music' had started trending on Twitter, before the event had actually begun. It went on to top the India trends list. Awesome, right? After reaching the venue, I registered myself outside, and thus started my four hour 'musical' journey with fellow bloggers, Team Indiblogger and HP.

Divo and Dermalogica India - Blogger's Meet
The first blogger meet of 2013 for me turned out to be the one organized by Divo and Dermalogica India at ITC Grand Maratha Sheraton, Mumbai. Once again, an amazing opportunity to meet fellow fashion and beauty bloggers. The 3-hour event was filled with some amazing moments, right from bumping into a college junior to learning hair and skin care tips from experts in the house. Take a look at the photographs and you will know what I am talking about!

The Oriflame Very Me Meet
Oriflame organized a blogger's meet on 21st December at the Vie lounge and deck, Mumbai. Yes, 21st December. Mayans predicted to be 'doomsday'. Thankfully, the Oriflame team made sure that we have a great time. And boy, we sure did!

Ariel Blogger event with Manish Malhotra and Mona Singh
It feels so good to get back home after a long day at College and actually end up taking time out for your blog. I know I've been MIA since quite a few days, but I must tell you all that I haven't been away from 'all' the action.
I was invited by Ariel (P&G), one of the leading detergent brands in India and across the globe, for a blogger's meet at J W Marriott, Mumbai last week. Although I've been swamped with a lot of assignments, it is also true that I have missed quite a few blogger meets in the past and I didn't really want to miss out on this one, primarily because I love meeting fellow bloggers and interacting with them. It's good fun when you fellow bloggers and talk about your blog, discuss things you like and gossip.
So, let's take a look at what all happened, what we discussed and how we posed!!!
Manish Malhotra, the brand ambassador of Ariel and Mona Singh were invited by the team to be a part of an interactive session with Fashion bloggers from Mumbai. The new campaign called "My Story My Ariel" (MSMA) talks about the fact that everyone has a favorite piece of garment which is special to them. May be it’s their lucky shirt, or something which a loved one gifted.
