KAZO Bloggers Soirée

I was recently invited by Kazo for an exclusive Bombay Bloggers meet.

I have to be honest- this was my first time visiting Kazo store. 

After spending some time going through their Spring-Summer 2013 collection, I must say I am glad I finally had a chance to visit it.

The latest collection offered a wide array of bright colours, trendy prints, delicate laces and statement making accessories.

As lovely as Kazo’s clothes and jewellery collection is, their bag collection is one of the finest ones. From totes to clutches to sling bags, their was something for everyone.[Outfit Details- Top: AND, worn here; Coloured Jeans: Marks & Spencer; Sandals: Inc5; Neon Sling Bag: Kazo]

From the moment I entered the Kazo store my eye and heart was set on this stunning, juicy neon green sling bag. After much styling and posing with it, I can happily say I am now the proud owner of it!

Fashion Soirée: Harper's Bazaar & Samsaara Summer Style Event

If you have been a  fashion blogger for over a year, getting invited to high profile events becomes a part of your blogger routine. However when the Fashion Features Director of Harper's Bazaar India personally invites you to an event, you know for a fact that it is something you do not want to miss.

Samsaara in association with Harper’s Bazaar India hosted a private preview to showcase the new Spring/Summer arrivals at their luxurious boutique in Kemps Corner, Bombay.
I was one of the only two blogger lucky enough to be invited and attend the event.

Renowned designers Anand Kabra, Nachiket Barve, Geisha by Paras & Shalini, Nishka Lulla, dressed the muse of their choice in their latest creations.

The ladies of the evening represented everything from festive finery to casual chic.
 Madhoo Shah looked like like a modern day ‘Maharani’ in a resplendent gold and maroon sharara from Anand Kabra, Dipanita Sharma dazzled in a Nachiket Barve creation. Nisha Javeri was adorned in an antique gold sweeping gown from Paras and Shalini’s label, Geisha. Nishka Lulla flaunted her boho chic side in her own design.

Along with admiring the latest collection I had a chance to meet some of the city's most stylish ladies: Chhaya Momaya, Mandira Bedi, Zeba Hohli, Lata Patel, Ramona Narang, Deepika Gehani, Dilshad Khambatta, Bindu Mittal, Arti Murjani, Bindu Zaveri and Jasna Thakersey.

While all the ladies were dressed in their finest best, my personal fave look was of none other than Ms. Ami Patel, Creative Director of Harper’s Bazaar India.  

Known for creating icon covers and fashion magazine editorial and dressing famous celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra, Ami stood out in a crowd of well dressed fashionistas and looked simply spectacular in a Pankaj And Nidhi creation.

While I loved the clothes, it was Isharya's jewellery that called out to me. I could not help but try out Isharya Green Blue Moon Bali Filigree Hoops and Jaali Filigree Statement Cuff.

Samsaara's entire Spring/Summer collection has something for everyone.

The breezy ghagras by Anand Kabra were perfect picks for summer brides.
Amit Aggarwal's fantastical creations and Gaurav Gupta's draped dresses were ideal for those looking to experiment with the creative side of fashion and invest in statement making pieces. If colour is your thing, Nachiket Barve's kitch sarees and Nishka Lulla's neon creations have your name written on it.

It was one of those lovely summer afternoon where I not only had a chance to view the lastest and best of Indian fashion but I also has a chance to discuss fashion with Indian fashion industry stalwarts.

All I can say is thank you to the team of Harper's Bazaar India and Samsaara for inviting me. It was one memorable soirée.

Till then, tra-la,

 Amena!!

Dare To Bare With FASTRACK Bags.

When I started my blogging journey never in my wildest dreams did I think that at one point I would be the only Bombay based blogger to be invited to attend an event organised by one of India's leading youth accessories brand- Fastrack.
And yet, who in their right mind would miss out on such a wonderful opportunity. Along with attending the ‘Dare To Bare’ collection launch fashion show, I also had an opportunity to interact with Ronnie Talati the Vice President & Business Head of Fastrack & New Brands.
 After speaking with Marketing Head, Simeran Bhasin and Retail Operations & PR Head, Hemal Panchamia I finally have a better understanding of the brand as well as its latest collection.

Fastrack, the unconventional fashion brand has managed to established itself as 'India's leading youth accessories brand', chose to unveiled its latest range of 'Fashion Backpacks' at the F Bar and Kitchen in Bengaluru. 
With a strong belief that backpacks aren't always just about carrying things around, this season Fastrack is showing us the most stylish way to move with the launch of their new collection of backpacks.
The latest collection of backpacks is a perfect combination of the function and fashion and is all set to spice up your wardrobe.
The latest collection of backpacks come with ergonomic back support and well organized interiors. Plus, the unique materials and  eye catching prints are sure to make you want to garb one for yourself.
The latest collection of Fastrack has so many stylish and trendy backpacks to chose from, I just had to share with you all some of my favourite pieces.
[More details on there bags here]

What I love about the ‘Dare to Bare’ FASTRACK Fashion Backpack Collection:
The traditional backpack has been given a stylish makeover. No more an old- fashioned, monochromatic, simple utility piece, it has been transformed into a must have accessory. From different shapes to bold prints and bright colours, these backpacks are a perfect combination of fashion and function.

Even though Fastrack is a leading youth brand, the variety of bags and backpacks are for those not only young in age but also young at heart. The diversity of style, fabric and colour is bound to appeal to anyone who is, “Bold, stylish, casual and lots of fun”.

Keeping its target audience in mind the bags and backpacks have been reasonably priced.

Other than trendy backpacks and bags for men, Fastrack also offers a stylish 'Girl’s Collection'.
Unique metallic details, vibrant hues and extended utility makes them a must have this season. Small enough to be carried anywhere and big enough to hold all your essentials.

{All the three looks have been exclusively styled with Fastrack acessories-bags, purse, sunglasses and watch}

Speaking about the collection, Ronnie Talati had wisely said: “Fastrack backpacks combine high fashion with function and will form an integral part of any youngster's wardrobe.” That is exactly what the latest 'Dare to Bare' collection is all about.
Not only did I have a wonderful time at the event but also a better knowledge and understanding of the Fastrack brand. After viewing its latest collection first-hand I can't help but agree that Fastrack is 'India's leading youth accessories brand'.

Till then, tra-la, 
Amena!!
