Yebhi, Wo bhi, Sabhi.... ohh yes abhi



While going through online shopping website, the only site that caught my maximum attention was YEBHI.com. The variety they have is commendable. So many options and really low price. I was able to accommodate many shopping bags in my budget. I wanted neon color clothes since a very long time. Yebhi gave me nice option and a wide range to choose from.



Festive season is directly proportional to shopping. And mom had already told be she wanted to buy the latest trend for her family. (excluding me and including her newly wedded daughter and daughter in law and her sisters) So after going through the website I found many good stuff which looked great and weren't  that heavy on pocket. Mom had to buy 5 sarees, 3dress material and few kurtis. We got everything and more just by sitting at one place. I and mom turned so happy that we bought more than we wanted.



Trying out something new is a kind of risking your life, but till the time we do not risk we wont understand whether it  was worth that risk or no. I m one of the satisfied customer of yebhi.com. They have a huge collection for guys also. From Rags to diesel, liberty to bally name it and they have it. So guys you shouldn't feel left out.

What else do you need?? A store which has all the latest trends and fashion available. Who delivers at your doorstep. Everything under same roof. REASONABLE yet attractive.

New dimension - ONLINE SHOPPING

 
 
Online shopping has changed the way we look at shopping in 21st century. Your favorite brands are just a click away in whatever size, color and range you are looking for. Online shopping is also one of the most fastest growing shopping destinations. But the problem what we face is how safe are these??
 
I remember the first time I opened one of these sites, the collection and range they had was just awesome. In India if we get anything half the price, we don't look back. but the only space between shopping and me was whether it is safe or no. Even I heisted the first time. There were multiple transaction options available, so I decided to go for "CASH ON DELIVERY". In this case I have nothing to lose. I received my package within the stimulated time.
 
 
 
They do have refund system, if the goods are damaged. So we need not worry about that. Before the concept of online shopping was weird, but now right from clothes to even groceries we can order anything, anywhere and at anytime. As online shopping websites are growing, everyone wants to be in the race and offer the best. They want to be credible enough to increase their goodwill. In such a case they avoid risking their reputation.
 
But we even need to be very careful with these online website. You never know what can cause threat. Its better to always choose the option "CASH ON DELIVERY" and check your package.   
Its always to be sure, than have any doubts.

Say hello to FASHION STREET...

Everyone says that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty, but in the society we live in, it isn't. No one gives you the chance to show that you're beautiful on the inside if you aren't on the outside. May be that's the way everything works. Even when it comes to an individual like you and me, we think and don't talk to people who aren't that good looking. Its mentality. I don't know why did this thought come to my head, but I just though of sharing it you GUYS!!



So this time lets explore another fashion street in Mumbai. What can be more exciting than FASHION STREET in Churchgate! Fashion Street is around 15minutes away from the station. This is a huge lane of shops, so many shops. Like how far I looked I could see only shops right from shoes to jense to tops to accessories you get everything for a very low price. "SHOULD BE EXCELLENT WITH YOUR BARGAINING SKILLS". You get all kind of fashionable clothes. The street is not only famous among the girls but even among the guys. I saw more guys shopping than girls. That was definitely wonder!!


Street shopping can look cheap if you don't buy the right thing and carry it off well. As shopping is what I have been made for, I keep shopping sometimes window shopping to check what's new and creating fashion. I was seriously surprised to see some great stuff which I have seen in good branded shops displayed.


The whole walk was seriously tiring. I took 2hours to walk just half the street. I planned to keep something for the next time. PHEEEEWWWW !!! But I did enjoy a lot. Street shopping is always fun and cost effective. Sometimes comprising on quality is okay. Lets put this the other way buying something worth rupees 150 and wearing it for 15times is "PAISA VASOOL".

Its not always about buying brands!!



Not everybody likes clothes which are branded. My mom, she gets so irritated sometimes with the clothes that she forgets I m smart enough to buy what I will and can wear. Mothers are more concerned when it comes to those hippie wear. Carrying that look and attitude is not everybody's cup of tea. I cannot carry it without looking ugly. Sometimes what you see the mannequin wearing is not what you can wear, and even if you wear it how comfortably will you carry it is another question.

The only reason why mom took me for shopping is I wanted to buy a good skirt. When I told her this she wanted to keep a check on how short the skirt will be? Typical "MOMMY". So we both go to Lokhandwala that's in Anderi. Another great shopping destination but really costly. These street shops even have great brands like MADAME, LEVIS, JOCKEY. But the shop which attracted my eye ball was "peppertree". Its funky, hippie, creative and colorful. It does not display the usual clothes, its more goa. (I guess you understand what I mean) The best part of taking mom to such shopping destination is that she understands the latest trend and then don't stop me from buying it, instead encourages me to buy.



After shopping a lot from this place we moved on to next store "STREET SOUL". The place is not "SASTA" as the name suggest. The best part of shopping here is there is loads of creativity around. The shop holder keeps experimenting and creates liking among their customers. They have vivid combination.

I find this smart denim skirt (mom makes faces). Unfortunately I did not like the fit of the skirt and fortunately mom started pushing me to buy it. Mom said they look good, but I wasn't happy. The most contradicting statement and scandal arises when mom talks about her days, when she wore a skirt and got out of the house. I questioned her whether grandpa was okay with it? She said with whole confidence of course YES. The only thought that came to my mind was why the hell M I stopped from wearing it. When I asked mom she had no answer to it!

This shopping experience was more of learning experience about PARENTS AND THEIR STRATEGIES. I returned home with many bags but more than that too many questions in my head.

Lets burn some calories!!

Mom said your weight is increasing, what do you plan to do with it?? I said will workout. Mom started laughing on me. :( I asked why what happened?? what's the matter with you??  she said I know what do you "MEAN" by workout. A girl's life is so stressful, she has to look best along with that multi task. Its not easy at all. The only place where I can workout is a place full of shopping and a great scope for shopping along with bargain.



I and a friend of mine had to pick up clothes for independence day party. It wasn't a "party party" a small get together. But Yes all these occasion do call out for shopping. I was really bored of shopping in Malad! since so many days I have gone through and scanned each and every corner of Malad right from malls to roads. I decided to go to Anderi. There is a place called Manish market which located near 4 bungalows market. It is completely dedicated to girls, with very few shops for guys.



This place is for cost effective shopping. There are no brands there, its something very close to street shopping. You can pick up tops for 100 and 120 with latest trends. You get all the latest variety of jense, shorts, tops, footwear. I wanted to pickup something in white color, but not exactly plain. Along with that I did pickup many other tops.

And yes the purpose of shopping was definitely served. firstly I get to wear something what I have been looking for and second of all I burn lots of calories by walking down the street, doing some window shopping, again coming back to the same shop, buying it, bargaining and in the end landing up doing extra shopping.



MY NEXT POST IN THE BLOG WILL BE RELATED TO WINDOW SHOPPING.. STAY GOOD STAY HEALTHY !!

NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL, GET UP, DRESS UP AND SHOW UP

People say beauty lies within the heart, I feel people who say that are too lazy to dress up and look good. Its not that you always have to be decked up, but yes you need to look presentable. First impression is the last impression, and in today's world we are known by how we carry yourself than what good deeds have we done. Even looking simple can be elegant and smart. A smart pair of used jense and a shirt with good fit is equally  capable of catching too many eyeballs. If you wear the latest style but you aren't capable enough to carry it then a person might turn out to look cheap. There is a very thin line between looking sexy and cheap. Everybody wants to look attractive and in that bargain they flaunt their assets more than required especially girls. If you think you are looking sexy you need to hold your thinking there and try to think from a guy's perceptive.
 
 
Clothes should be worn according to the occasion and place. You cannot wear a shiny mini skirt and walk in any reputed office. Every plan and occasion have a fixed set of clothing which needs to be followed. Clothes blunder can easily catch attention. people who are fat are often conscious about how they look and how fat they are? Its very important that you feel good about yourself. When you do that then you will start loving yourself and when you love yourself, you choose the best.
 
 
 
Clothes define your personality. After looking at you and your clothes people will start making assumptions. They will categories you!! (and yes I don't think you want to lack behind in that) Love yourself the way you are and you expect other to do. Accept your own flaws, try to work on them. Everything is not about looks but yes ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FIRST THING IS ALWAYS ABOUT PRESENTATION. BE SELF LOVING AND NOT SELF OBSESSED. LOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE.

A hectic day comes to an end with shopping!!



Phewww!! August first week becomes too hectic because of assignment submissions. People go drinking to release stress but I go shopping. I can see the excitement of Ramzan, too many colors, too good aroma, too many lighting AAAhhhhhhh I wish I could be there forever staring at it, but I couldn't I had a lengthy list of shopping. August will be fun with so many birthdays, festivals and anniversary. Each occasion calls for shopping, but as mom has already warned me I had to be really cost effective, so I decided to check out local market. Malad shopping area is huge last time I checked out Natraj market so this time I decided to shop at Malad Municipality market ( DO NOT GO BY THE NAME). The variety at this place can turn down any good mall in Mumbai. This place is huge, completely traditional very and really very reasonable. By any chance if you are wondering why am I so much into traditional clothes its because its festive time and good traditional clothes are must.

So like "EVERY GOOD GIRL" even I wanted to save money and buy loadsssssssss....... (I wonder people who hate shopping miss on so much) The time I entered this place I went GAGA over the clothes. The clothes were not really my type but yes I know how to find what I want. After all the pushing and pulling I finally found a shop which was very jazzy, but they did have simple and sober clothes. I have a special liking towards not over the top clothes. I don't say they don't look good, They look good during the festivals, but you cannot wear it everywhere. I genuinely believe in wearing it as many times as I can. The most famous BOMBAYA PHRASE "PAISA WASOOL KARNA" people who understand this will connect to what I mean. It just means to use it so much that whatever you have invested (money) you get it back in terms of pleasure.



I wanted to buy something unique which I did not ever have. And the best part about traditional clothes are whatever you buy, it would never be the same. I tried out few Sarees and mom just loved them so she decided to pick it up for herself. The only reason I avoid shopping with mom is because of this, she always picks up what I like. She just loves my choice (I feel great about my self). We went to other shop bought few from there and decided to leave for home. After loads of shopping, bargaining, walking daughter and mother returned home. I m always ready to shop and so is mom. The only and only thing we agree on apart from my choice. This is from where I get the genes for shopping so much.

What happens in shopping market, Remains there ........

Whenever mom cleans her closet, its the time to go shopping!! As usual I m always ready for a shopping trip. Mom decided to take me up to the market instead of  the mall. She has too many dresses for which she wanted to buy matching unstitched material. Usually you don't  get just the  material to line up with the existing. Malad station area is full of small stores. Malad was earlier Gujjus and Marwadi dominated area. The scene remains unchanged to a extent. So when you enter the station area of malad its full of clothes right from Bangkok wear to elegant designer wear.









Natraj Market is always spoken about right from VIRAR to KANDIWALI, spread across few acres but has variety which you can never ignore. As EID is approaching soon, Muslim females are al ready there to shop their heart out. Looking at the novelty clothes and accessories have got these years I went GAGA!! I wanted to buy each and everything which was by my sight. I just wanted to own their store and wanted to be the only customer.



All the stores and stalls were lit up so beautifully. They had huge and huge variety, something that you will seriously go mad looking at but the shopkeeper will still go on showing you the collection without any break. HATS OFF to such salesman who keep the spirit on, do not show up they are tired  just keep going on and on. I seriously like shopping in these small lanes than compared to malls. The attachment is really different also is the cost to a huge extent.



Going for shopping with mom is always a wonderful experience. I don't have to ask for I get it and I safe a lot of my personal money too. Along with the shopping the shop keepers treated you as well with samosas and tea. They create a relationship more of a guest than customer, May be that's the culture I want to be a part of and enjoy the importance. A wonderful experience comes from these small happiness.

BEYOND CLOTHES...


Fail to understand what's wrong?? Why people have crowded? Any terrible fight?? ha ha ha ha I knew it!! its the FLAT 50% off sale that has attracted people and not any celebrity. If you think Clothes are the only stuff we girls are crazy about then NO!! You still have  many things to explore about us... The scene was hilarious at the mall. The first time I looked at it I was clueless about what was happening?? Why the hell were guys standing outside?? like every curious women even I went ahead to find out what was the real reason. I was with a friend of mine and I guess he had already seen the sale offer so he tried to convince me from not going there!! But a curious women is equal to FBI and I entered that place. Pushing people, pulling them out, trying out all the possible moves and curves I enter. YES I ENTER THIS CROWD. ( feeling like ninja) I look towards my right and see this amazing board of flat 50% off . Oh my god I was shocked for a minute and then I rushed into the store and grabbed an ESBEDA PURSE.

This was the only time I thought about my mom and sister and bought for them these amazing ESBEDA bags. And yes the sale is still going ON so if you females out there are wishing to grab this opportunity please go ahead. My mom was happy and now she thinks I m not "SELFISH" (she always thought I betray them when it comes to shopping)

Well people this does not end here .... Happy about the sale here's more to add on ....



So Charles and Keith have a lot to offer you. "CINDERELLA IS PROOF THAT NEW PAIR OF SHOES CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE." Perfect fit in shoes is very important to get the right posture. Shoes play a very important role. If you wear the best dress but do not have a good pair of shoes to accompany it, you will definitely be noticed. A beautiful dress with right amount of accessories, classy bag and stylish shoes will definitely make you look radiant and stunning at any occasion. So along with clothes many other things do matter.
 
The sale is on do not forget to visit a mall near you to grab some exciting offers. Who knows you might get lucky and get things really cheaper and exclusive.

SALE...HAPPY..... BUT NOT SATISFIED!!

So finally its the time to pull up your socks and carry all the possible cards and rush to a shopping mall near you!!  YES...Its the time to enjoy SALE.... SALE.... SALE  (another word which females love the most.) We are usually afraid of shopping in the malls because we feel its expensive. We prefer WINDOW SHOPPING at the malls and later go out in search of those stuff for cheap. In the end we not only compromise with the price but also on QUALITY.


Ethnic wear is a must in your wardrobe. India is a country full of festivals. The festive season is about to begin. Along with festival, Wedding season is on its verge too. Traditional Clothes are quite necessary and expensive. The price depends upon the work. Higher the Quantity of work, higher is the price. Girls have a serious problem of not repeating their clothes at functions. So this SALE can be used to purchase ethnic wear which cost loads of money. I took advantage of this "SALE". Do not miss "SOCH","JASHN" and "BIBA" this time, they have amazing creative collection waiting.
 
SAREES are in fashion. SONAKSHI SINHA and VIDYA BALAN have given new variation to sarees. Indian Females look elegant in sarees, I personally feel. The grace and charm no other outfit can give. With designer sarees in fashion we have specialized outfit/sarees for special occasion. Tell them what you are looking for to wear at a special occasion and they will show you so many option that you will get confused on what to wear and what to buy? As time is running so is creativity, there are ready to wear sarees available in the market. So people like me who don't know how to drape can just wear it within no time and carry it off well!! 


Salwaar Kameez , lehenga and sharara are next in the list. This is more of wedding ceremony outfits than festive. But yes do keep them in your wardrobe because wedding season will be next. Such pretty lehenga and lovely delicate work enhance the beauty of it. Anarkalis as well as long anarkalis are in fashion. People who think they are fat and need some beautiful coverage, should definitely buy this!!
 
 
I love being a girl.. We have so many outfits. Every new occasion calls for shopping. Whatever you buy, at the end you still have nothing to wear. After shopping you return home and regret of not buying that one thing and the guilt remains for a week and later you go and buy it... SATISFACTORY.

Why shouldn't girls have all the fun??



How do girls past time??  the obvious answer is "SHOPPING". So this is what I planned to do today. My wardrobe is full of clothes. Try pulling out one and you get a month's wear FREE :) but still I feel I can manage accommodating what I buy today. I decided to go to BORIVALI this time. As soon as you get out of the station (from platform number 1) the road is full of clothes, bags, shoes, accessories stalls.



As I got out of Borivali station I could hear that pleasing sound of vendors screaming at top of their voice "SAU RUPAIYA" "SAU RUPAIYA"(girls usually find this voice not noise but music :D to their ears), All vendors were sitting on the road with a stall that had variety. The best thing with street shopping is you can "BARGAIN" and buy more (another great word after shopping loved by FEMALES :))

And so I carried out my operation "SEARCH FOR THE BEST FROM THE REST". After digging deep in I liked two tops. But I did not want to buy everything at once. I wanted to see how multifarious the clothes were. ( Always remember to check as many stalls as you can before buying anything from one stall. You might get good and better deal head.) Just adjacent to these stalls is "THAKKAR MALL". It does have good shopping collection if you want to buy something expensive and cannot compromise on quality.


We all girls usually have this tendency of buying clothes but not wearing it for more than three or four times. So those girls who don't want to spend more can definitely visit this place. The specialty of this shopping destination is that you get brands as well as street shops... Brands like VAN HEUSEN, PANTALOONS, RAYMOND  are all in the same line....(feeling good to visit this place) After shopping so much I did feel hungry :) (when you are happy you tend to eat more ) so after street shopping was the time for some delicious street food. From mouth watering pani puri to Mumbai's famous vada pav to south Indian dosa with Chinese tadka, you will enjoy the food.


After eating so much time to burn those calories, what best than walking up the street to buy more clothes. Here you will get fashionable clothes more (tops, tunics, kurta, shirts etc...) There were stylish shoes and bags. The price were not too high and there is loads of scope to bargain. The only difficulty you may face is finding the right thing for you. But we girls are gifted with good eye sight, so it shouldn't be that difficult. After scanning through  all the possible stalls this is what I bought  in the end 5tops, 3 hair clips, 1bag and 4pair of shoes :) just for total expenditure of 3000...(this makes me so happy and proud of coming to this destination and shopping my heart out  :D)

Guys what you can do is take your mom, sister or girlfriend for shopping TRUST ME it is really cost effective. They will keep you happy at least for next few days. This place is easily accessible, feasible and shoppable. So do visit and explore this place. Share your experience with me.
