Fashion Street In Mumbai

hey guys !!!

I am back with my next post. todays post will be on WHERE to go for a budget fashion 'shopping'.And while mentioning 'fashion', how can i not start my search in the fashion capital of india being MUMBAI. During my last visit to mumbai we ( me & my husband ) put up in koparkhairane , in navi mumbai. since he had to work on some office assignments by the day , i decided to go shopping on my own. Husbands neways get tired of this shopping thing. And hence began my journey. Since i am a hard core traveller i decided travelling in a mumbai local instead of taking a cab.So i took an auto rickshaw to vashi station. and from there took a local uptil CST station.after getting down at CST station, again instead of taking a cab i preferred walking down the streets, i was a tourist after all and as a tourist i love exploring each and every street the 'real way'. It was a long stretch of walk (almost 30mins) but i enjoyed every bit of it.And finally i reached my destination 'fashion street'.

'Fashion Street' is a very long stretch of market starting from VT station and ends at metro. Its a popular tourist destination and is the ultimate place for bargaining, from clothing , footwear , accessories you will find everything. You name it and you will get it.I hope my excitement has not got revealed through my writing. After about wandering from one shop to the other i finally found something of my choice. a beautiful short white dress with cotton lace work. I was amazed by that stalls collection. have a look at the lace work.


.

Its a lovely leisure dress,which you can pair with bright coloured shoes/sandals. This dress cost me 300 bucks. Yes only 300 bucks. You dont have to worry about the fabric, its damn comfortable. ( Do not mind those creases on my dress , my wardrobe is a mess. ) After this dress, it was time for some sexy top and my search ended with this top. Its a top made out of a soft jeans fabric with golden buttons studded in the middle giving it a gorgeous look.











While the back of the top is partly open giving it a sexy look. The hips are open as you can see and the broad black band at the back is giving it a distinct look. If you are not too keen for a skin show then you can wear this top with a skinny / body hugging black top inside and you will look equally good and elegant. This top cost me around 200 bucks.


Every gals shopping remains incomplete witout purchasing a beautiful pair of shoes. And i am no exception to it. So i headed for my search for shoes. And to my astonishment it was available in abundance. And the one particular type that caught my eye were the JUTTIs. Jutti is a type of footwear common in india especially in northern india .These are usually very flashy with extensive embroidery in golden and silver threads or beads. As i preferred something less flashy i opted for this multi coloured jutti keeping in mind that it would go with almost every outfit. This jutti cost me only 250 bucks.


As you can see the back is heavily embroidered too with golden and brown threads giving it a ROYAL look.



 With this my shopping ended here and before my husband got too worried about me i headed back to him. and have also promised myself to be back the next day for some more shopping but this time to bring my husband along with me. So stay tuned for some more street shopping in MUMBAI. See you in "colaba causeway" .

P.S. : the price of the items are given as per indian currency, you may convert the price as per your country's currency.

Manali Trance : A Gateway to Heaven

Image
It was time for our annual trip and we decided to visit such a place that remains covered with snow during winters. Since in India not all cities are privileged to witness snow or snowfall ; its kind of a bliss if you get to witness such luxuries. Now, since blessings and luxuries are not that easy to avail , we will have to work a little hard for that (especially in India). So we decided to visit manali ( India ), a beautiful small town that remains snow capped anytime during the year and especially during winters. Then lets start our journey. We started from shealdah railway station ( kolkata ) , our rajdhani express was scheduled for 4:50 pm. All the way train was running just on time but due to fog it started running late a few kilometers from Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh ). We reached Delhi ( our destination ) at around 3 :30 pm whereas we were supposed to reach at 10 :30 am ( the scheduled time ). However , it did not make much of a difference to our trip as we anyways still had

golondo steamed chicken curry

hello, my fellow readers Its been quite sometime I have not posted any of my simple and yet mouth watering recipes. So , today I am in full mood to share one of my simplest recipe.  Monsoon has arrived in India and during monsoons every woman of the house becomes lethargic. We all love to be served during this period rather than to serve. It's not our fault ladies it's the weather's fault. It was one of those days when you and your husband pushes the other to go to the kitchen and prepare atleast something eatable for lunch. Finally, I took the initiative to approach the dreading kitchen and our semi loaded fridge where I luckily found chicken in the freezer and mind you chicken is the easiest thing to cook out of all other dishes in the world (according to me). So how about preparing a lazy dish on a Sunday afternoon where you will only have to marinate the stuff and it will be ready. MAGIC! Let me remind you this is the same chicken dish I learnt from my friend's
