Starting the power packed Thursday with a bang!!! Firstly because my next look post is all about donning a bright shade of red and get festive ready in a jiffy thanks to an array of outfits and accessories that Diwali Bazaar has decided to put together for us. For those of you following me regularly across all my social media handles already know about the upcoming and most exciting exhibition in the heart of our city Mumbai – Diwali Bazaar and for other curious souls like me, donot fret as I have something special in store for you guys!! Here’s presenting an exclusive peek into the jaw-droppingly awesome collection that will be showcased at Diwali Bazaar this year, which is their second time around on 3^rd November from 4 p.m. onwards.

The chirpiest and happy go lucky owner and a woman entrepreneur, Vandana Agrawal started this successful venture with her partner – Sadhana Singh who shares a common belief and understanding about letting our ethnic roots and Indian sensibilities shine through by providing a platform for young women entrepreneurs to showcase and exhibit their brands and products and help them to reach out to the right audience. The exhibition has an Indian touch with respect to the outfits, accessories, shoes, bags, or any other lifestyle product too. The healthy mix of contemporary, western and ethnic outfits that stand a class apart and are apt for “Diwali” shopping!!! They donot stop here… The dynamic duo decided to sprinkle the Diwali shopping fiesta with some music, food and a party scene that will stay alive and kicking till mid-night. This time around, the exhibition will stay open till late on your popular demand so that you don’t miss out on this 😀

I love the red vibes, the draping and flowy fabric, the cut and the gorgeous silhouette that the dress forms along the way. This exquisite creation is from the Collection of Shilpa K

Who will be showcasing her outfits at Diwali Bazaar.This dress is an epitome of simple yet an elegant sheath that imitates the drape of graceful vines. The folded and uneven hem creates fluidity of movements even when one is still and that is my personal favourite. A perfect option for an evening gala to a Diwali party, plus it adds loads of oomph to your look overall. Shilpa K as a brand is gonna be your one stop shop for all your Diwali shopping, right from fancy dresses to ethnic wear. I decided to play with colours, for my festive look and other than bright red, the two colours which stand out are the shades of blue and a pop of yellow on my feet!

The blue oval-shaped pearls dangling necklace with a golden rose embedded, is the epitome of happy, rosy and a fresh start this season. I love accessories that simply accentuate your look from day to night or from club to festivals. This is one such necklace, which you can get your hands on at Diwali Bazaar. The other lighter shade of blue which I decided to don was in the form of a Cute Sling bag from Clust Bags

Lighter yet brighter shades like minty blue adds just the right amount of peppiness to my look! Plus it also spruces up the look to a strikingly different level! Personal style is all about breaking the rules and doing the unusual, I was so happy with the way this look has turned out (onlookers said so too ;-)) Clust Bags is known for their stylish, chic, modern and edgy collection which also allows you to keep on re-inventing your looks by just merely changing your bag!! Make sure to catch them at Diwali Bazaar. Can’t wait to do another laid-back look with one of my favourites from their collection, stay tuned!

Keeping in mind the entire festive vibe of my look, I decided to sport Tutti Fruity neutrals for my feet, which are crafted so beautifully by Fizzy Goblet

A funky mix of yellow colour at the front and a bright red at the back along with some peppy prints like the melon and pineapple add just the necessary spunk to my entire DIWALI look to be complete!!! Have a look at their most vivacious and latest designs for yourself and pick your favourite ones that narrate your tale!! And they are so soft and super comfy too. I like when the outfits, shoes, accessories, bags have a story to tell and this look in particular screams HEAD TURNER from start to finish.
