Kid's bedding set at Tidebuy

I have a 4 year old nephew - a real cutie pie :-) (hubby's brother's son). Like most 4 year old boys, he is obsessed with trains, cars and aeroplanes. He is also obsessed with balloons, animals, and anything new that he comes across. So whenever hubby and I buy something for him, we first think whether this will stimulate him.

Knowing his obsessions, my mom generally gifts him cartoon towels which he has great fun playing with before they are used for his bath :-D So when I came across Tidebuy modern kid's bedding sets, I was really excited. Tidebuy kid's bedding sets come in pleasing prints like cars, animals and other cartoons which would keep any kid engaged and make going to bed fun :-)

Tidebuy also has modern bedding sets for boys and girls which come in more mature prints like flowers or checkers. I really loved the range of bedding sets available at Tidebuy and would suggest that you check out Tidebuy if you want to buy lovely bedding sets for kids in your family!

I have shared pics of some of the really cute ones below. Let me know what you think of them!

Spain travel - Toledo


 (Warning - picture heavy)

Toledo is a day trip from Madrid. But you can even choose to stay over in this lovely place. When we were planning our trip to Spain, I was mesmerized by the pics I saw of Toledo and so this city went onto our itinerary. While Toledo can be a day trip, it deserves a stay over as well. So in case you are going, and you plan to stay over, you won't regret it.



Isn't it gorgeous!!?? So we took a train from Madrid to Toledo and booked our return ticket for that day as well (EUR20 per person). Once we reached Toledo, we went to the tourist information centre at the station and booked the tickets for main attractions that we wished to see. We also got out city map - the lifeline! (Anyone familiar with Europe would know that the city map and the metro map are the 2 must have maps in any city :-))



After that, we took a taxi from the station to the city centre (Plaza de Zocodover). From the main plaza, one can go anywhere in Toledo. One of the best things you can do in Toledo is take one of the narrow lanes and just get lost - and once you have had enough, you can ask the way back to the main plaza :-)

We first took the land train which is the perfect way to get a full view of Toledo. The train ride includes an audio tour and the train will also stop at one place at the edge of the city where you will a gorgeous view of the city.

Elegant dresses with long length for Evening Dinner at Weddingshe

Elegant dresses with long length for evening dinner are a weakness of mine. An elegant gown flowing around me while I walk down a long staircase ... what a fantasy! Totally out of a fairy tale :D

And why am I raving about elegant dresses with long length for evening dinner? Well, I came across a site called Weddingshe.com which has really beautiful dresses. It has stylish dresses in a wide range of colors and silhouettes which are perfect for a variety of occasions - prom, party, romantic dinner or even a wedding.

Vacation haul

How can I travel without shopping!!?? Right? ;-)

After so many years together, hubby dearest also understands this :-D So he readily let me take a half empty suitcase on our vacation cause he knew that there is no stopping me. In fact, he was a real darling and helped me in my shopping .. so sweet na? :-)

My last few trips have been official and hence I have been alone when exploring a new city. While that has its own charm, I was so happy to have my better half with me this time ... it was more fun exploring and also shopping! And he has a very good eye for what looks good on me - which means a perfect hubby for a blogger :-D

So before I share stories and pictures of our vacation, I will share pics of my haul. For some reason, I went nuts about purses on this trip and so there are not many clothes in this haul.

Hope you like my haul. Do let me know what you liked best!

PS: Can anyone guess where we went on vacation based on the pics? The clue is in one of the pics (a very easy clue) :-)

First up are the purses - have taken a special liking to smooth and shiny bags. And always wanted a round bag. Found the perfect one!

I am alive!

Hello Peeps! I know I disappeared like forever. Sorry for that. I was on vacation for the last 2 weeks and before that work for so hectic (like it always is JUST before a vacation :p) that I was working 15-16 hours a day and did not have any time at all!!!

Thankfully, I have had a refreshing vacation and am back to the grind :-(

Will update you folks on my trip in the next few posts. I have so many travel posts pending! My vacation trip, my trip to Korea and my trip to New York last year - phew! So be ready to be bombarded with travel pics in the coming posts :-D

And I will be diligently visiting your blogs to see what you have been up to! So looking forward to that :-)

For now, I will leave you with a few pics of hubby and me ... Hope you like them!

Outfit of the day - Fishtail

As the title suggests, the highlight of this outfit is the fishtail skirt. I am a big fan of fishtail dresses/skirts and the colour and pattern of this skirt with a few colourful ribbons at one side make me love it even more. This skirt is just so feminine and it makes me feel tall (a big plus obviously :D)

I paired the skirt with a bright pink tank, a Kashmiri embroidered purse and multiple crystal necklaces. These necklaces are a gift from my mom. She got me more than 20 of these crsytal necklaces in different colours! Since a single necklace does not make that much of an impact, I paired 3-4 of these necklaces. Love the layered effect and the colour scheme that this provides :)

So what do you think of my OOTD?


Skirt - Shopper's Stop
Tank - local shop in Chembur
Purse - Rooh-e-Kashmir (Phoenix Marketcity mall in Kurla)
Necklaces - gifted (by mom - she bought them in Haridwar)

Look like a Princess @ Aviva Dress

Watch any Disney fairy tale and you will be mesmerized by the lovely gowns that the Disney princesses wear. I still remember Sleeping Beauty's gown which kept changing colour as per the whims of the fairies who created it :-)



As a kid, it was my dream to have a gown like a Disney princess. When I came across the beautiful prom dresses at Aviva Dress, it reminded me of the Disney princess gowns. Aviva Dress has long prom dresses, short prom dresses, evening dresses and a lot more. And the best part, the dresses can be customized as per your requirements - both for colour and size. That means I can actually get one of these beautiful dresses in my size; and not have to fret about whether one of the universal sizes will fit me or not :)

Sharing below a few of my favorites!
Love the understated elegance of these two dresses. And the colors of both the gowns are to die for! The detailing on the neckline of the purple gown stands out and the muted golden gown is perfect in its simplicity. Can't decide which one I like more.
