Black…well enough has been said about the colour and how gorgeous a colour it is ….want to blend in – wear Black…want to stand out – wear Black…when in doubt….wear Black…..

If I could define black….excuse science here…;-)…. I would use one word….. “Versatile”….. wear it to – play it down….or to tone ‘IT’ up …..no other colour can get your fashion game bang on like black can….

Coming back to when I wore this absolutely gorgeous grecian flowy and yet gothic dress by Designer Vedika M…..Oh boy did I fall in love with this outfit….Oh yeah I did….

It isn’t your quintessential LBD (Little Black Dress) and thats what caught my fancy…..those padded shoulders with stud detailing….oooooowooooo….I had a fashion crush……

The sheer(ness) of the dress was another element that had me at the first look…….I wanted it….like really wanted it….

The drape essentially grecian….and modern stud detailing…with the very 70’s shoulder pads….. this dress is so 2017…..

I photo-documented ‘The Dress’ for my lovelies….you know how much I love to capture my fun fashion moments and share it with you all….hoping to inspire a few of you out there to take some fashion risks and have fun….and give a try to not so traditional ways to dress……

It was an early morning shoot on the streets of beautiful South Mumbai….. to compliment the outfit and to bring out the grunge element I played with Brown and Black eye shadows to create a smoky eye look….Mascara, Lipstick and Blush…..and me was all set…

I tied my hair back and tight ….put on my majorly favourite Patent Leather shoes…..and I was ready to showcase the grungy cool dress to you all….. I hope you enjoy the ‘Black Magic’…..

Outfit: Vedika M

Hello my lovelies if you have been following my social media , you know I had been busy attending a big fat wedding in Delhi. No matter how much one enjoys the celebrations and playing dress up, by the end of it all I was super super tired….. I came back to Mumbai exhausted and next day I got asked if I would like to visit Antara Spa ……OMG ….yes most definitely yes…. That’s what I needed the most then …. A good massage to relieve me of all the tiredness accumulated over a period of over a week…… Of course I would love visit the SPA….. big big Yes…

I Scheduled my appointment and was all set to be pampered….yay…. I am a total Spa junkie….You utter the word massage and it makes go weak on my knees….. I am always……always up for it…. I definitely love trying out new therapies ….well yes… I know , I know all I need to say is I love a good Massage….hell yeah I Do…I Do …..

So apparently Antara Spa is at this beautiful club The Club , Mumbai …. its a beautiful club and pretty spacious considering it is in heart of Mumbai…the city short of space always….beautiful drive on their private road sort of sets the tone of what is to come once you are inside….. (you don’t have to be a member to book Spa appointment)

Antara Spa is the in-house spa of ‘The Club’ they incidentially are also celebrating their 10th anniversary this year.

At the Spa, I asked them to suggest their best therapy and I was told Vinotherapy should be best for me…. I was all for it… In my head I was going to be massaged in Wine…..hehehheee…. well yeah!…. that wasn’t the case….turns out for Vinotherapy special Californian Candles are ignited to generate warm Grapeseed Oil …( in my defence there are grapes involved some how….hahhahahhahaha….couldnt resist this….;-)….)

Apparently Vinotherapy Hydrates and moisturises the skin…. yay….what else does a tired girl want….a soothing massage and skin hydration all at once……

There is something about the Spa’s that excite your olfactory senses and somehow it tingles down to feeling of relaxation already even before you start the massage…… I walked into the therapy room assigned to me and I was already feeling like I had stepped into a zone where I would experience extreme relaxation…..

My experience started with a foot bath and my masseuse started the massage …….and I was in heaven…..I told her that I had been experiencing some pain in my shoulders and my feet hurt….and voila thats when the magic started. A good masseuse knows how to relax your muscles and ease off the pain….the aroma of the wax also tingled my senses in a therapeutic way…..

………….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………yeah that was my state of being then…you know how it is when you have been just running around and don’t really get enough time to catch your breath….I had been living that routine for over a fortnight prior to this pamper session….this is what a doctor would advise too……I need to relax….and relax I did…..

yeah thats the happy me….smiling and happie happie…………. clicking happy selfies…( kindly excuse quality of the Picture…I was way too happy check and put on lights for a better picture quality…..but I had to put it here to share with my lovelies how happie happie me was……)

Signing off on a happy happy note…….with a resolution to pamper myself a whole lot more……..
