Summer the Nazakat way

Nothing helps you survive the Indian summers in style more than the Indian fabrics with gorgeous prints.

Pune summers are no exception, they are hot and what better way to brave this weather and step out in style than to don lovely kurta suits, patialas, breezy kurtis in beautiful prints, designs and fabrics which are inspired by the Indian summer. 

Come summers and everyone is shopping for the choicest of summer cottons, chanderi suits and the favourite of all - The age old yet evergreen Poona suits. 

One name that comes to the mind and is an instant place to buy best of all these under one roof is Nazakat. 

Nazakat has been standing tall in the heart of Camp since almost 3 decades. It's one of the oldest store in Camp run by the Hiroli family. The Hirolis actually own 7 shops in the city and have an experience of over 100 years (whoops .. That's like a lot lot) Nazakat and Nazakat NX being their premium stores. 

I have been shopping here since ages and am always greeted with cordial staff always ready to help, the owner Mr M. A Hiroli is a thorough gentleman having umpteen knowledge about fabrics and with an impeccable taste for the finest. He is always so very sweet and will guide you to the best of designs. He himself travels to handpick the best designs and fabrics from all over the country. They also are the manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors of Poona cotton suits ( the favourite of Puneites). It's definitely a must own in every wardrobe. 

No sooner than you enter the store you are engulfed in the magic of looms of fabrics, rich colours, gorgeous designs and exemplary detailing. In this whirlwind of choices you are further spoilt rotten by the ever so hospitable staff and the charm of the owners. I always always end up buying double of what I intend to, but it's definitely worth it. 

Let me show you some peeps of this summer shopping Soirée at their store, what with their fresh new summer collection all ready to be ravished, can you blame me? Definitely not 😉

Have a look yourself - 

These vibrant colours just make the summer chilled out.

This one is a favourite - The Poona Cotton Suit 

And time to have a peep at my shopping 

Ain't these darling - I love the colours especially the yellow one so bright , floral and summery. 

The best thing is I always get them designed by their master in flat two hours till the time I complete my shopping in wonderland and grab a quick bite, everything is ready and packed. just like that ( happy happy face) 

Perfect shopping, don't you think? 😊😊

Forever 21 sets foot in Pune with Aplomb.

 

Forever 21 a very popular American brand set foot in Pune with a huge following and aplomb. The brand founded by Do Won Chang is an U.S.A chain of fashion retailers, known for its trendy offerings and its economical pricing. The brand is loved by the youth and young at heart, it has massive fan following all across the globe.

The brand opened its door to the city of Pune on Saturday (11th April). Phoenix Market city now houses the first Forever 21 shop in Pune. The brand is spread out on two levels and is one of the beautiful outlets in India. The shop was crowded with shopaholics and witnessed a 2 floor long que with ardent shoppers. 

I was one of the lucky ones to escape this crowd and get invited for the pre launch event on the earlier day (Friday) and got to shop to my hearts content in leisure. Not only this I was also mesmerised and witnessed the gorgeous City girl Anusha Dandekar styling the 21 winners of the forever contest which took place in the city, as well as Arjun Rampal who cut the yellow ribbon for the store. 

I had an awesome time what with my favourite store coming to my town and getting to meet two stylish Bollywood heart throbs. 

Take a look into the crazy first day of Forever21 in Pune. 

The stage is set. The yellow fever is here to stay. 💛

Pre launch - 

 

The handsome and sexy Arjun Rampal, he was looking like a million bucks in his super cool and casual ensemble, however far from being humble or nice to his followers and fans ,, Mr Rampal perhaps you forget every star is made or unmade by their fans. Perhaps, you could be a little nice to them in that case, just saying (shrugs). 

 Anusha styling the winners, she did such a fab job, she was so thorough in to the minutest detail of every winner and made them look gorgeous. A true style icon and a sport. Did I forget to mention, gorgeous and stylish as ever.

Always be stylish. 

And now for some serious shopping 

Footwear starting from 550 INR. 

And the long rows of colourful trinkets, you can't help but buy with such beauties at bargain price. 

They start as low as 50 INR.

Denims start from as low as 600 INR. 😀👍🏻👌

One little draw back, the quality is not that great with such amazing prices. They stock on till L,, but don't get disheartened, do try out the different styles, you never know what fits you like magic.

Playing dress up 

Me with my goodies❤️

The day of the launch. Bless my stars I am lucky or am I lucky .. 😉 hehe 

Jokes apart patrons flooded the mall to get in their favourite shop on the first day itself. The que was never ending, people waiting for hours starting from as early as 9:30am. The first 500 shoppers received some goodies. The que continued till afternoon. The store was ravished with hungry shoppers wanting more of their favourite brand. 

What are you waiting for, did you get yourself that cutesy yellow bag with goodies. 

Witness it yourself, be a kid in the candy store, with so many choices at amazing prices.
