The Must Try List | June 2015
Hello June and a big hello to all the wonderful readers, who I know have already started praying for the rain gods to bless them with adequate rainfall. While we wait for the monsoons, a new month is here and we have got a brand new feature ready for you. Say 'Bonjour' to The Must Try List, a monthly feature, where we will put together details of some of the best must haves and must visits, which can help you spend money on the right things and spend your precious time at the right place. What do we have in store for you this June? Read on to find out.
Must Have - Masaba X Clinique collection
Masaba meets Clinique! Gosh, what more could you ask for? The moment this collaboration was announced in April, beauty freaks across the country went crazy talking about it on social media. The limited edition range, inspired by Masaba's SS 2015 candy-themed collection showcased at Lakme Fashion Week S/R earlier this year, includes pop up lip colors and a colorful make up bag called 'Sugar Plum'. With lip color names like Wow Pop, Sweet Pop and Punch Pop, we can't wait to 'pop' into a Clinique store and fill our shopping bags with these pretty lippies.
Must Buy - Philips Satinelle Advanced Epilator
We have got our eyes on this newly launched advanced epilator since quite sometime and will be reviewing it soon. The Philips Satinelle Advanced Epilator looks like the perfect product that every girl needs this monsoon (and almost every season, honestly). The product promises to provide long lasting smoothness, while gently removing hair from the root, and that too, as short as 0.5mm. It also promises that the hair will grow back thinner and slowly, leaving you with up to 4 weeks of hair-free skin. Sounds great!
Must Wear - Jelly Shoes by River Island
Who doesn't like to make a splash in the water or dance in the rain? With monsoon coming up, stock up on these cute Glitter Jelly shoes. We love the retro vibe of these shoes, and the fact that it comes in four different colors only makes it easier for an individual to take their pick. Priced under Rs 1500, these shoes by River Island are a must have if you are planning to sing in the rain this June.
Must Visit - Lakme Pro Stylist Studio
We were invited to this stylish space last week and boy! were we impressed. The all new Lakme Pro Stylist Studio is everything that we wanted and much more. The flagship retail store houses all our favorite Lakme products, and also has a dedicated section for makeovers, where you can get a quick transformation before a big event, meeting or just an important dinner date. Relax and get a manicure done, or just the awesome in-house stylist, Vibhuti, to give you a new look, the Lakme Pro Stylist Studio is all things awesome rolled into one great store. For more details on the space and services, keep an eye out for our Lakme X Dancebee post.
Must Hear & Watch - Hamari Adhuri Kahani
Trust Mohit Suri to wow us with melodious tracks with every film. Be it Zeher or Ek Villain, the director is known to create magic with music in all his films. The music album of his latest offering, Hamari Adhuri Kahani, is no different. Team Dancebee has added all the delightful songs from HAK to our respective iPods and we can't listening to the entire album on loop. Right from Humnava to the title track, every song transports you to a different world. And while you sing along, don't forget to watch this film at a theatre near you on June 12. Right from the starcast to the plot, everything about this film is so perfect. We are looking forward, are you?
Lust List - Chanel LUMIÈRE D'ÉTÉ
Ah! Just look at that beauty. Who would want to even touch or ruin that beautiful design? Err.. well, we are equally excited to test the Chanel Lumiere D'Ete Illuminating powder. Embossed with a lush camellia blossom, this golden-bronze powder promises to add sun-kissed radiance to your complexion, eyes and décolleté. If there is anything you wish to splurge on this month, let it be this!
Love,
The Dancebee
Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014 | Outfit Post
A day at the fashion week means choosing the perfect outfit that is not only comfortable (which always tops my priority, since spending long hours hopping from one show to the other is not a joke) but also shows off your style statement. The style that defines your personality. It is very easy to ape people, but standing out of the crowd and making a statement (while being comfortable at the same) ain't an easy task. Over the years, I have understood that while I love experimenting with trends and I am definitely more open to trying different prints and silhouettes, but there are some things which will always be a staple choice. My love for a red lipstick (MAC Ruby Woo to be precise) is just one of them, while pairing shades of blue with white is another. It just reminds me of the infinite sky above us.
Speaking of comfort, what really took the cake this season was the fantastic arrangement made at the Palladium hotel (venue for this year's Lakme Fashion Week) through an exclusive lounge area for bloggers called the LFW Apartment. This cozy apartment on the 27th floor made for the perfect space to unwind, enjoy the breath-taking view, post some live updates and get a gorgeous makeover done, courtesy Bedhead TIGI and Lakme. More details about the apartment will be presented in one of our upcoming posts.
When in doubt, I always opt for a jacket or blazer in bright colours or pretty prints. It can spruce up any outfit. The asymmetrical skirt in this outfit is a favorite, especially because of its color and fit. Don't miss the earrings in the form of a leopard's nail. Such quirky elements in an otherwise simple outfit can turn out to be a head turner.
While most people weren't too happy with the change in venue, I enjoyed my Lakme Fashion Week experience at the Palladium. Though there is no doubt that Grand Hyatt served as the perfect host all these years, the hospitality and warmth of the staff at Palladium Hotel also deserves a mention. They were extremely co-operative and were always around to guide people from the MSA to the Jabong stage or Source. I absolutely love the vintage feel that this hotel offers and yes, travelling was also easier for South Mumbaikars like me.
