Easy & Quick Nail Art With Revlon Nail Enamel

If you have been following my blog, you must have realized that I am not a big nail-art person. Don't get me wrong! I love my nail polishes and love to try out new shades constantly, but I have not tried nail designs and nail arts much. But thanks to nail art enamels and tools by Revlon,  this changes now! This weekend I played around with my collection of Revlon polishes and Revlon Expressionist nail enamels duo and realized creating nail art is easier than I thought! The Revlon Expressionist duo polish comes with nail striper brush to create easy nail art! I prepared my nails by using Revlon base coat to protect nails from staining. It also makes the polish last longer.I created some simple geometric nail designs and even tried the layered nail art with bright colors. Next on my nail art list - black and white nail designs for fall/winter!

Some Revlon polishes I used to create simple and playful nail art. Loving the Revlon Expressionist enamel duo for the versatility and easy-to-use striper brushes!

Revlon nail art Moon Candy is perfect and easy way to add some sparkle to any nail polish. I love the red and dark blues for fall/winter with some glitter and shimmer! The Revlon Moon Candy is an easy way to change your nails from day to night. During the day, wear the base coat and for night apply the other part of this duo - the shimmer and glitter!
Revlon believes there is more than one way for women to be seen. Revlon's heritage as a color authority and its suite of innovative products inspires women around the world to express themselves through beauty each and every day.

My Stylish Cuppa With Bigelow Tea

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

I ❤ Tea! There is no other way of saying it. I really love my tea. Growing up in India, that was the 'family beverage'. We all drank tea (or chai as we called it) and reveled in its refreshing, healthy taste! From the small cafes to five star hotels, from a gossip-filled afternoon with friends to the high tea at Prime Minister's residence! (Seriously, I have lived an interesting life!! Exhibit A: The picture below!)

On the occasion of International Women's Day in 2003, the Prime Minister of India invited selected female journalists for tea at his residence! One of the most memorable day in my career for sure! And yes, tea was great!:-)

Now, for more than a decade, America is my home. Many things have changed in my life and lifestyle, but one this still remain the same - my choice of beverage! I still start my day with tea. I have tried all kinds of tea under the sky and one of my favorite tea brand for anytime, anywhere tea is Bigelow Tea. I love the numerous taste options and the packaging! The individually wrapped packages keep the taste fresh. This way the box lasts longer after you open it.  My favorite flavors are Bigelow Vanilla Chai, Bigelow Constant Comment (with orange rind), Bigelow Green Tea and o fcourse Bigelow Earl Grey. I usually drink my morning tea hot - i brew Bigelow Earl Grey with milk, sugar, ginger and cardamom. For afternoons and for summertime,I make it iced with just honey and splash of lemon! For iced tea Bigelow Tea has some great fruity, citrusy flavors - like Rasperry Royale, Plantation Mint and assorted herb teas.
(* I also host pretend tea parties for ponies, Cindrella dolls and Olivia the pig every weekend. A lot of help is provided by my 7 year old daughter!!)

If the chai-latte or spiced chai is too strong for you, try brewing you own version - you can control what spice you put it in. Start with Bigelow Earl Grey tea. Simple boil some water with a little piece of ginger (smashed or grated) and couple of pods of Indian cardamom. Pour the boiled (now flavored) water in a cup and steep the tea bag for 3-5 minutes. Add sugar and milk as desired! Nirvana!

Tea is not only a tasty beverage, it is healthier than other sugary drinks and beverages. I am not a soda drinker and avoid sugary juices as much as I can. For the quick pick me up, a cup of tea is my savior! During the New York Fashion Week earlier this month where I was freelancing for couple of publications, I was running from one show to another, taking pictures, editing my stories on the go. Who has time to run to the coffee shop to get the high-calorie, sugary drink? I carried my own home-brewed sweet tea in the portable bottle nicely tucked in my tote!

Are you a tea drinker? Check out delicious flavors and specialty teas from Bigelow Tea (available online or at Walmart - see my shopping trip to Walmart for Bigelow Tea on my Google Plus album).

Fall Dressing: Bring Your Maxi From Summer Into Fall

Maxi dress is one of my summer favorite outfits. Easy to style, easy to wear and comfortable for mom on the go too! Even though it is considered a summer wardrobe staple, a maxi dress can be used in Fall as well, styled with a jacket, long cardigan, even a  fur vest. The key is to pick up a pattern and color that can go in Fall as well. So when I saw this Navy chevron striped maxi with orange and chartreuse accents, on The Shopping Bag,  I knew it could be a maxi for summer and a drop waist midi dress for fall! Ladies, you need to get your hands on this chic piece ASAP - only for $34 you can get two outfits!! I love the earthy colors and an ever green chevron stripe pattern that will never look dated or old!

Here I am, on a sunny day that doesn't let me believe it is September!  

If you follow my blog, you must have seen this post where I first styled a maxi dress as a drop waist dress. I used the same technique of  belting the maxi at waist with a soft sash and pull the fabric over the belt to create the drop waist illusion! With a coordinating fall-appropriate jacket, I turned my maxi into whole another outfit!

2 - Necklace - (The Shopping Bag)

3 - Jacket - Yoox.com

4 - Green Flats (Lori's Shoes)

5 - Wedge Sandals (Nine West)

Revlon #ColorCloset : Make Room For Red This Fall!

Red is for love. Red is for seduction. Red is for Fall! For me, actually, red is forever! Whenever I feel I need a dose of outfit-confidence, I tend to pick red! Red lips for instant boost or red nails that go with everything! Speaking of nails and lips, Revlon has some really luscious, long lasting nail polishes appropriate for fall. I love the deep reds, blues and plums for fall and winter.  Revlon's Moon Candy collection is specially versatile as it comes in a 'dual polish' bottle with a base coat and the sparkly, glittery top coat. Here I am wearing it as a single color in deep burgundy-red. But I can simply brush up a top coat of accompanying glitter top coat or add another layer of sparkle (I used Revlon 'Heavenly' nail enamel) to create cool 3D nails! It is an easy, quick (and in my case - a fool proof) way to jazz up the nails in a trice!

If you follow me on twitter, you must be aware of my fun experience of twitter shopping for 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection! This mini 'Pashli' look alike satchel was one hot item from the collection that sold out almost immediately! I was lucky to get my hands on it and totally loving it!

I got this kilt style midi skirt from ASOS recently, and I am sure I will use it a lot this season! The silky, poly blend fabric falls nicely and I love the buckle details at the waist 

Revlon believes there is more than one way for women to be seen. Revlon's heritage as a color authority and its suite of innovative products inspires women around the world to express themselves through beauty each and every day. As a long time Revlon customer and user, I can stand by their products and what they represent! Hope you all enjoy the beautiful Fall season with luscious Revlon products!

Fall Dressing : Neutrals, Pop of Color, Wedges And Tassels

 Today's outfit is all about comfort (while looking put together of course!) Some pieces (like a dolman sleeve baggy sweater, stretchy skinny jeans and lace up wedge-booties) make any outfit very easy and comfortable. I got this sweater (very forgiving on tummy and love handles) and booties during my last visit to Sears (see the post about styling searsStyle Fall pieces). The tassel scarf adds color and interest in this mostly neutral outfit.  I wore these shoes during NYFW when I was running from one show to another like a crazy woman! Their 2.5 inches wedge heel is pretty comfortable for all day wear and the style is very much on trend for fall.

 1- BCBGMAXAZRIA camel ribbed sweater

2- Vince Dolman Sweater

3- Old Navy Women's 'The Rockstar' Jeans

4- Nordstrom Cesca Quilted Satchel

5- Chico's Tonya Tassel Scarf
