Hello, 2016!

Hello from the outside. I wasn’t on holiday but instead I took some days off from the blog and social channels so I could start the year fully rested and with lots of energy. During the week or so I was absent I had time to think about not only on my personal goals, but what I would like to achieve this 2016.

Warning, this is a long and personal post but I’d appreciate it if you read it and let me know your thoughts, as they’re very important to me.


1/ QUALITY > QUANTITY

With all honesty, I would love to publish everyday if I could, but with two jobs sometimes it’s hard to post three times per week as I intend to. Personally, I prefer to work on quality posts, good photography that’s worth your time and interesting topics, instead of just posting an outfit per day. So, you can trust I’ll keep on posting constantly although not daily.



2/ MORE BEAUTY  

If you could see my vanity desk you will think I’ve got enough beauty products for a whole family, when it’s actually just for me. This is why I believe it could be a great idea to talk about skin care products and beauty in general. If you have any suggestion for this kind of topics or what kind of posts you’ll like to see, let me know!


3/ #FOODPORN 



If you are interested in easy recipes, places to eat and the latest brunch spots in Mumbai (that aren’t necessary healthy but c’mon), raise your hand!




4/ KEEPING  THE BALANCE

As always and especially this year, I’ll keep a balance into what it’s featured in the blog. While you’ll still find some luxury brands, you’ll also encounter with the affordable Promod and Zara pieces I know you guys love.









5/ HONESTY COMES FIRST

I feel utterly happy and grateful to be able to work another year doing what I love, I’ve always been selective with the brands I work with to the point of declining offers that I believed where not suited for you, my readers, and the trust you provide me through your computer or phones.



So, you can be completely sure everything I show in here has been previously selected and supervised by me. I’ll never, ever work with a brand I don’t feel identified with.

If you made it all the way to here and are still reading, I deeply thank you for all your support, comments and likes during this time. Wish you a happy start of the year and I’ll see you around! ;)

Stay chic !

Reviews | Snob Box December 2015

Hi guys. I know I've been inactive for a month now but I've in store for you guys the new subscription box SNOB BOX.

SNOB BOX, is not actually a subscription service but you can schedule your boxes every month  or multiple times a month. It works in a similar way if you guys know about STITCH FIX.

Okay, so this is how SNOB BOX works,
1. You sign up and  then  you're taken through a series of questions about your measurements, likes and dislikes. You can even connect your Pinterest or social channels to help out your stylist with their choices.
2. You can also ask them to give you something in particular too.
3. Then you need to schedule your boxes and then wait for it. You might get a call fom your stylist if they need more information.
4. The budget of the boxes vary between 1500 - 15000.

You actually get a personal stylist for yourself, as cool as it sounds.

So, I did get my first SNOB BOX in the month of September  and to be honest, I was not impressed by it.
If you guys know me by now, I'm more on the simpler side and go for neutrals and delicate jewellery. But my first box had some really chunky jewellery and a blue shirt which I kept BTW. But also a black skirt which I returned immediately because I did not like the stitching and it was unraveling at various ends.

So I had high hopes from my second box. I got it today and I was kinda disappointed with it.
First, I got this really cool white shirt (Rs.1000) which had black lining on the sleeves and the button part. According to Snob box, this is a crisp white shirt but it was not. But I liked it. So I'm KEEPING it.

Then I go these cool earrings (Rs.345), they were multi coloured and geometrical and I LIKED it. So KEEPING it.

The item which I was most disappointed about was the peasant blouse (Rs.1095)  they had sent me. It did not look attractive and I did not like it. It looked very faded. SENDING it back.

 

 I also got a Lavender color sling bag (Rs.1190) which is so not me. Also I did not like the structure of the bag and decided to SEND it back.

 

The last item is a long layered delicate tasselled neckpiece (Rs.518). Honestly, I did not like it mostly because of the trouble it would cause when it gets entangled. But also I did not like the way the neckpiece look. Very tacky atleast for me. SENDING it back.

 


I personally did not like my SNOB BOX. The first box I had bought was with the budget 1500-2500, which turned out to be bad and I ended up keeping only one item from the whole box.
This time I went for an higher budget, 3500-4500, but the box was not great. I'm keeping only 2 items out of the 5.
VERDICT: Happy to have this concept in India, but I guess SNOB BOX has to improve on their stylists and also giving the best in the budget given by the customer. And also give more attention to the customer's preferences.

I might not schedule another SNOB BOX.
