A brand new year!

Happy 2015 everyone!

2014 ended on a note of mixed feelings for me. Why you may wonder. Well, because it flew by too quickly and when a really good year just flies by, you don't really want it to end. It was the best year of my life, coz it gave me Aryaa :-) Motherhood is the most divine feeling you will ever come across, incomparable to any other! Along with Aryaa so many other related great things happened - from PS and me being a couple to becoming a family, our parents becoming grandparents, the sense of responsibility I associated with my life grew by leaps and bounds because I am also responsible for a new life now, and I also feel like a better person due to small but substantial changes that Aryaa has brought along, be it simple things like patience or calmness. Existing people in my life especially my parents have been the strongest pillars, and family and friends have only bonded further. I've also met loads of new amazing people without whom this year wouldn't have ended on such a great note. Over all I'm grateful for what the year has been for me personally. Looking forward to 2015 which is going to be another memorable one with my little one in tow :-D

Professionally also the year has been great, and looks to only getting better this year! On this front too I am thankful for the trust and faith placed in me by my clients and the brands and agencies I have associated with.

I really want to say a bigggg Thank You to all the people who have been by my side through it all! :-)

I have in mind quite some plans for Ri(t)ch Styles for 2015 and I am going to be sharing a few of them with you:

• There is going to be a whole new look and feel to the blog and all the branding
• There is going to be a greater focus on beauty and travel than in the previous years
• I have loads of drafted posts as well as shoots done but no posts done - I am going to get around posting those even though they are from the year gone by cause they are worth sharing! My pregnancy had slowed me down, but I am getting around to getting back in full speed now!
• Videos are going to make a comeback as well as be regular
• And more which you have to wait and watch ;-)

For now, hope you guys also have some great plans for the year ahead which hopefully will materialize for all. Amen to that! Have a great 2015 and I will see you again soon with loads in store for 2015! Cheers to the new year! Mwah!

A memorable Goan Anniversary :)

Zig Zag effect  colour-blocked Necklace - Chicnova
Top - BHG (Singapore)
Shorts - Promod
Bangles - Linking Road, Mumbai
Bag - Ruby (Singapore)

Shorts are the staples of any beach holiday, and I decided to dress up a pair for the anniversary evening outing.. So out came a striped bikini top, a linen singlet and a multi colour necklace. Adding to the colour, was my yellow sling bag and there I was all ready for the celebrations :)

PS and I spent some time at the Vagator cliff just gazing at the sea, taking in the calmness and enjoying the lovely evening.

And then it was time for the celebrations for which there was no better place than Brittos to head to! :)

A gleaming Ri(t)ch Styles team post the eating and drinking escapade! Cheers!

Couldn't have asked for a better 3rd anniversary! :)

An evening of Prints, Tassles & Coloured Pants!

Weekends are always the best time of the week. You get ample time with all the people you want to spend time with without bothering too much about late nights or the next task to do. Family, friends and fun is mostly what my weekends are all about :) Catching up with friends is always nice and that's what PS and me make sure we do once a month with seven to eight other couples. Good food, drinks, a nice place, lotsa gossip and sometimes some music and dancing are all part of the evening. To top it of course is 'Dressing Up' ;)

Like I said 'Dressing Up' tops the list ;) and so there I was dressed up in my brand new Forever New printed pants and Romwe Arrow-shaped Curb Chain Tassel Necklace. Gorgeous is the word for both these pieces :) Since there was a chill in the air, I put on my sand coloured Zara cardigan. Don't miss the lovely platform stilettos with the beautiful cut out design that adorned my feet.

Singlet - Local market
Printed Pants - Forever New
Cardigan - ZARA
Arrow-shaped Curb Chain Tassel Necklace - Romwe.com
Cut-out Platform Stilettos - Giovana (Singapore)
Clutch - Esbeda (Gift)

PS has also started experimenting with his clothes lately and has finally stepped into the world of coloured pants. I loved what he wore that nite - Cobalt blue pants(his latest buy on our Turkey trip), a black shirt with fine checks detailing on the collar, buttons and sleeves and grey suede shoes.

Black Shirt with checks detailing - AND for Men
Cobalt Blue denims - Istanbul, Turkey
Grey Suede Shoes - Foot In
Watch - Swatch

We met up at Cafe Mangi (Powai) this month and I loved this location of theirs. Much better and bigger than the Bandra location. Not to forget, open air dinners are always good fun especially when you are with great company.

With the prints, statement accessories and coloured pants trends looking at becoming bigger in 2013, which ones are gonna make it your wardrobe? All 3 or are you going to pick and choose? Share with me and I'll tell you where to get the best deals from :)
