Pretty little things

Here's the first week of 2016 with little pretty things.

These pretty little things are happiness for me, make life worth living. 

Always finding happiness in small things and enjoying the little moments that come along, that's me in a nutshell. 

Celebrating life in every moment.


And I couldn't stop humming this song -

Gratitude for the year that went and memories it gave and gratitude for the new year and new memories to make. Visited the temple with my family first thing on the new year to take blessing. So good for the soul. Calmness. 

Got a pretty little gift - don't you love these adorable chappals, I am head over heals, the colours are so vibrant and stunning. All the way from Pushkar. Couldn't stop beaming looking at them. 

Got myself these footsies for winter, nothing like cozy socks in beautiful colours to keep the toes nice and toasty. 

I was searching for this since a long time, finally laid my hands on the perfect wide belt. Got it from Globus at a bargain price . Happy puppy dance ☺️🐶❤️. 

First meal of 2016 with hubby was that of Kolhapuri Thali. It's definitely one of my most favorite meals, look at the fiery Colors of the rassa (gravies). The pleasant and creamy pandhra rassa (white stew), I never can have enough of it. Washed it all down with a tall glass of sol kadhi ( native drink of kolhapur ) Authentic meal which satisfied my tastebuds and soul. 

   

Lastly, these gorgeous piece of silver earrings, I love silver jewellery and love to collect them. 

These earrings with the birds and the nest are certainly a unique design. These were a gift. Definitely, it was love at the first sight. 

So overall the first week of 2016 has started with aplomb and I am already loving it. 

How did your New year start?

My favorite shopping in Bangkok

Bangkok is no doubt a shoppers paradise, shopping is a day- night activity and everyone who visits this place has their personal favorites. (Read more about Bangkok shopping)
I too have my personal favorite shopping places in this heaven for shopping.
Let me take you through my best and must shopping places to visit whenever in Bangkok.

Must:
Whenever shopping in markets or malls, do carry shopping trolleys, you will be thankful later on after having bought bags and bags of goodies.( it sure becomes difficult to carry all the bags around)
Shopping trolleys are easily available everywhere. One can get a good deal in the Pratunam market.
Most of these markets and malls have maps available free of charge for easy accessibility, do utilize them, It sure makes the experience comfortable.
Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, carry loads of change and stay hydrated.
HAGGLE - must

 

 

Pratunam  Market
Its a maze of small alleys criss crossed and jam packed with vendors selling different variety of goods, clothes, shoes, and fashion accessories at wholesale prices.  Prices are very cheap, and most shops offer retail prices for single pieces.

Pratunam city complex
AC version of Pratunam market, a respite from heat surely however do not expect same prices as that of the market out on the road. Plenty of fashionable clothing and shoes. There are a few jewelry and crafts shops, as well as cosmetic stores are located within.

Indra Square
you will get really good deals and a good variety. Only a few minutes walk from Pratunam Wholesale Market, the Indra Square consists of several floors with hundreds of small shops selling from children clothing, men and women fashion wear, to accessories.

Baiyoke Towers :
another good shopping mall in this area

Platinum Fashion Mall 
Platinum Fashion Mall - a AC version of the Chatuchak Weekend Market. I prefer this any day over Chatuchak market. really good quality products, the rates are higher than the markets but then you really get a very nice quality. However one does find a lot of sale deals and whole sale deals too. Do check the garments bought on sale for defects and holes.
Do visit both the buildings of Platinum mall.

 

 

All these shopping places are a walking distance from each other. (located very close by)
I prefer to shop at this one place rather than going to Chatuchak which is really far and I think over hyped. one does get some lucky deals at Chatuchak, but I find it expensive and more touristy and over priced. A must watch for first timers, being the biggest market and all. Other than that I would give it a miss.



MBK mall
A must visit for all the mobile and camera accessories, you do get lovely souveneirs, silk and some really good deals. Dvds, gadgets, accessories, food courts everything over here is really good. Also spas to relax the tired soul and it is connected to BTS directly.
It also houses Warehouse and Tokyo departmental store.

 

Warehouse:
Branded clothes at knock out prices. Do check for defects as many of them are factory rejects but you will surely get some good ones. Warehouse is there in most of the malls like MBK, Terminal 21, Big C etc.

Pink Pvssy
My one stop shop for all my accessories and likes. They have an amazing collection at really good prices. They have outlets all over Bangkok. Spotting Pink Pvssy wont be a difficult job at all. Must visit.



 just a small glimpse ;p

These are my favorite places to shop when in Bangkok.
What about yours?
Do share them with me, I would love to hear all about these shopping secrets of yours.

Happy shopping :)

Gift your Valentine a Giftease

So many online shopping sites have sprung up in such little time, online shopping is the big present as well as a juicy promising future. The question remains which site to chose over the another. Every site has a strength it uses for its benefit, and deciding becomes a big question.
I came across one such site Giftease claiming to be an online gifting specialist, based from Pune. Giftease started operations with a store in Phoenix Market city, mall in Pune in 2013 And thus followed the launch of the Giftease website in May 2013 and since then there is no looking back.
Currently they are delivering to over 5000 locations in India and as you read this, this number keeps on growing.
Oh, boy, was I impressed. In this cut throat competition, Giftease is like a fresh air of uniqueness. Read on and share my experience with me to believe it.

 

 

The site offers a huge range of products and are still adding many to their list. They have a huge collection of conventional, quirky as well as unusual gifts under the same roof. They have some of the best brands to offer, jewelry, accessories for men and women, chocolates, flowers, gift hampers, gift cards from the best of the brands, Home, family, kids, teens, bags, scarves, fragrances, dining vouchers, spa vouchers, café vouchers, gadgets, watches and much more, they have it all.

The website is so user friendly and easy to use and at the same time attractive. One can shop based on occasion, gift type, romantic or quirky, naughty or nice, price range and many other criteria which makes shopping a sheer joy and you can just go on and on. Hold your breath, the site has got something for everyone, gifts on budget, luxury gifts and all this with really good discounts and offers.
 Not only this they have an unique service 'gift via email'. This service allows you to send gifts to anyone even if you just know their email and phone no's, isn't it awesome?
 They also have something called 'gift wiz', where one just need to give in details like your budget, who the gift is for, occasion and delivery date,, voila and your work is done, they will take care of everything and a beautiful gift will be delivered to the desired person you wanted.
They even had products distributed in different segments according to the time taken for delivery, like next day, after 3 days and so on. There is also an option to select your own delivery date, so convenient, isn't it ?

I was hooked to this website and couldn't stop myself shopping again for my valentine.
Though the website was really user friendly and simple yet I took a very long time to shop as I was so confused between such varied variety to select from.
Finally this is my haul from Giftease-

Perfume , hand cuffs and chocolates for my hubby, what a deadly combination, you will definitely agree with me on this, wont you ? (naughty smile )
How can I be left behind, I bought a tote having quirky Taj Mahal  print and a pretty floral stole for myself.
The billing was smooth, short and easy, at the end I was surprised again. Well a good surprise that was, giftease really takes care of minutest details and here they provided a service of attaching a sweet message according to the occasion, and there were lot of messages one could chose from, they also provided the free Giftease gift wrapping, and another designer wrapping for a nominal charge.


 My Haul

        

It was an amazing experience to shop from Giftease and I am sure returning to this website. You too
should have a look, you would be definitely surprised and for the good. :)

Some things to tempt you, from Giftease.




































Happy Shopping !!

Valentine shopping with Jabong.com

Valentine day is around the corner, and yes this special day Is all about showing someone special  how very special they are. The best way to do that is by looking your best for that someone and of course an unique gift. No wonder it's raining sales all over the malls with special prices and attractive offers but it also includes never ending lines for billing, as well as no return policy on sale things, over crowded malls.. Urghhhh ,, does everything nice has to have something bad? Not necessarily. Online shopping is the answer to all these worries. There is a vast segment of online shopping sites available, but my search ended at Jabong.com.
Jabong.com left me spell bound with its amazing offers, easy shopping policies, fast deliveries, vast variety. It's a true shoppers delight. It's a one stop shop for all your needs. Check out more interesting information on Jabong fashion website.



After actually greedily scanning the site I could not stop myself and bought an amazing Maybelline haul, what with all the amazing offers going on.
The payment procedure is super easy and quick.
The same was confirmed by an instant mail and msg.

I received the delivery within a day. The delivery guy called up to make sure I was at home. The products were neatly packed in bubble wrap.

The after sale service was good too I was asked whether I was happy with what I received inside my parcel and whether the order was correct via a mail.

This is my Maybelline haul all for just Rs 500 thanks to their awesome offers and deals.

I just cant do without these little angel baby lips, they are so awesome I readily swear by them, and my best friend and must have the colossal kajal for jet black eyes. Some bright color for my nails and a little bottle of eyeliner.

I love these maybelline products, they are my favorite and so needed to replenish them for the valentine day. So a small valentine gift to myself or should I say a valentine gift for me from jabong :)

Their return policy is also fair enough though they do not accept return on certain products which are readily replaced by other sites.

But in all I was happy with the overall service and shopping with Jabong, my experience was good enough to take another dive in the vast ocean of shopping yet again and again.

After this maybelline haul now I am eyeing the Lakme products,
especially these ones here.
