A penny saved is a penny earned!

The last few months have been crazy! Motherhood is a full time job by itself, but a job that I am loving to the core :-) Along with motherhood descending upon me, the other aspect of my life that has become important is the necessity to save more, as now its not just 2 people but 3 people that we are going to be spending on. Since I am an avid online shopper, mainly because of the convenience and also cause I am a Shopaholic, the showering of online sales and deal/coupon sites onto the Indian web world in the recent past has been a total blessing!

Zoutons is the latest deal/coupons site that I have stumbled upon and I'm loving it! The coupon categories range right from baby products(fresh category in my life), books, clothing & accessories. chocolates, cosmetics, electronics, food, footwear, home decor, personal care, movie tickets, travel to what not and much more. You name it and you will find a coupon. Zoutons motto is to form a symbiotic relation with shopaholics by providing them crucial information on discount coupons, closing sales, promo codes etc. from all the leading merchandisers of the Indian retail industry. They have coupons from most of the sites I shop from, be it Jabong, Myntra, Flipkart or Amazon. During the festive season, they bombard you with deals from all over the Indian world wide web, thus making gift shopping a stress free affair.

Just before Dusshera and Diwali, I decided shop on Jabong for some gifts for PS. UCB was having an awesome online sale on Jabong  and there was a further discount of 27% being offered on using a coupon available on the Jabong website. While that would have been a great deal in itself, it suddenly struck me to check out Zoutons because of the various reviews I had been hearing for a while and guess what, I found a coupon for 32% off for Jabong. You have to see this picture to believe the deal that I got!

I always get great deals on Jabong, but the coupon from Zoutons was the cherry on the cake! The price at which I got the entire order is less than what I usually pay for a shirt for PS when I pick it up in full price from the UCB store! So this purchase wasn't just a saving, but a mega saving and I kept patting myself on the back for days on how smart I always am in finding the best deals ;-)

This way I don't have to worry about more shopping or increasing expenses and I can save likewise and spend on other things! What more does one need in life? :-)

Have you guys ever tried Zoutons? If yes, then how was your experience and if not, then do try and share your experience with me! I love hearing deal/savings stories!!!

Camouflaged Nerd!

Camouflage Shirt - Romwe
Oxblood Pants - IJeans, Shoppers Stop
Studded Tan Belt - Bangkok (A buy from 2003 that's still a part of my everyday use)
Slingback shoes - Charles & Keith (last seen here, here, here and here)
Bag - Lavie

The wind in my hair and my hair on my face! Just couldn't control it!

My glasses finally make a debut on the blog! Lol! No, they aren't new and no, I haven't just gotten a number :) I've been wearing them for nearly 17 years now, 15 years out of which I have worn more of my lenses and so you never came to know ;) :P In school most people called me a nerd and 90% of the time when I wear my glasses, people still do that. But trust me on this, I'm so not a nerd :)

Camouflage, Oxblood and Studs are 3 trends I am coveting at the moment and this studded camouflage shirt from Romwe inspired me to put all 3 together to create a slightly offbeat look. I threw in the camouflage shirt, a pair of oxblood pants and a studded tan belt with it and added tan accessories to complete the look. And not to forget my glasses :)

Ri(t)ch Styles 4th Blogversary Spa Party

Ri(t)ch Styles celebrated their 4th Blogversary at the newly launched Jean Claude Biguine Salon and Spa at Khar this weekend! How time flies! I still remember just starting my blog and here we stand today, 4 years from then, and way ahead :) So obviously the party had to be special, and that made us decide to keep a SPA PARTY. A morning of pampering along with some cake, champagne and tasty eats, marked the celebrations. The guests were well taken care of, while they got themselves pampered with a manicure, pedicure, hair wash & blow dry and scalp & shoulder massages. PS and me had loads of fun hosting it and a fabulous time with the lovely people who came to celebrate with us.

The pictures are going to take you through the super morning spent relaxing and enjoying! Don't envy us ;)

All set for the party to start :)

With the lovelies Anusree and Natasha

And this is what I wore....

Tangerine Shoes - Citywalk

Hair - Jean Claude Biguine

On this note, we start a new year in the life of Ri(t)ch Styles and hope that it just gets better and better with the support of wonderful readers like you. Thank you for all the love you have given us since we started :)

Trends 2013: Neon Punch!

Batwing sleeves neon green blouse - Chicnova

Distressed jeans - ONLY

Retro Style leather shoulder bag -  Romwe

Slingback heels - Charles & Keith

NEON!!  

Nothing spells bright the way it does! A trend that the 1980s loved, and we can see the love coming back once again in a big big way. As a kid, I used to gawk at women wearing neon, wondering what were they thinking when they wore colours that hurt our eyes and today I myself am hooked on to that trend! Times change :)

A dull Sunday made me crave for some brightness while stepping out for dinner and so out came my latest neon acquisition - The batwing sleeves neon green blouse from Chicnova. Balancing it out with neutral accessories - a retro style leather shoulder bag from Romwe (another latest buy) and my favourite slingbacks from Charles & Keith, I stepped out not be bothered by the numerous stares that I got. I had a good time, what else matters!!!!

Have you dared to wear neon? I would love to know your tips and tricks :)
