Celebrating my Press Features this Month! 🥂

The last one month has been super special. While on the personal front it has meant a lot of quality family bonding time, on the work front too it has been phenomenal. I've had 4 press features and each one has been super special. In times like these when everything is at a low, and one has to keep motivating oneself to work harder, appreciation like these in the form of press features can really be a morale booster. So this weekend is all about celebrating these, but I also wanted to share the press features with you, and so this blog post is all about that. 😊

Nails On Fleek - November & December 2017!

I can't believe that 2017 is coming to an end already! I mean it just zoomed by so so fast. But none the less, it has been a great great year and I went back to doing my nails at the end of this year after about 3 and a half years. I had stopped getting my gel nails done when I had Aryaa, as initially I was scared of hurting her soft skin and I also used to feed her with my hand. But now that she is over 3, I have gone back to getting them done and trust me there is no better feeling than your nails being on fleek. I have been sharing updates on my social media but I know that all of you don't follow me there, so this post is just to show you my pretty pretty nails from the last 2 months!

Happy Women's Day!

How to pick the right T-shirt for a guy

Most men I know live in their T-shirts. It is the staple of every man's wardrobe. T-shirts have slowly and steadily made their way into work wardrobes as well. Worn just as they are or styled with shirts or jackets, it is the most versatile item a man owns. So when I have to choose between buying a shirt or a T-shirt for Prateek, or the other male members of my family, most of the times I tend to pick up a T-shirt. Buying a T-shirt can be a really simple process if you follow some simple key steps:

1. Know The Right Size

It is very important to know the right size that you have to buy. If you know the shirt size then it can be converted into the t-shirt size easily. Most brands have 38 as a Small, 40 as a Medium and 42 as a Large and so on. Knowing the size is essential because neither do you want the guy to look like he is wearing a tent or buy something that makes him feel like he is gasping for air. If the guy is going along with you it's easier incase you don't know the size. A right size is one where the seams come on the edge of the shoulder and not hang down. If you are buying sports wear made from stretchy material, knowing the size is especially very important. Please do not look at the salesman in the store and say that the guy looks like him, or is his size to determine the size to buy because 8 out of 10 times you will land up coming back to exchange the T-shirt :)

2. Decide The Fit

Every guy has his personal preference when it comes to T-shirts. Some like to wear it a little loose whereas some like the snug fits. Some like the sleeves short and some like it longer. Classic fits are the common choice for everyday wear for most men, so if you do not know the preference, this would be the safest fit to pick up. As far as the length is concerned, the perfect length is where the t-shirt falls just below the guy's hips.

3. The Neck Line

You can choose between a crew neck(round neck), a v-neck, a collar neck, or a Henley T-shirt. If the person you are buying for is small shouldered or chested, the crew neck is a better option as it helps the person to appear broader. V-necks give the illusion of longer necks thus making shorter people look taller as well as making larger men appear slimmer. Collar necklines are more for those who wish to wear their T-shirts more formally or are of a senior age. Henley T-shirts are for those who like to wear fitted T-shirts and have an athletic body. This style is a collarless T-shirt having 2 to 5 buttons and looks best in its full sleeves version. There are other necklines too but its better you stick to these basics.

4. Choice of material

Cotton, cotton blends or polyester are the most common materials used for T-shirts. Pure cotton is most comfortable and makes guys sweat less but it also creases easily. Cotton blends are a lot like cotton T-shirts but the mix with spandex or polyester reduces creasing. Polyester is light and best for sports. Prices also are usually the highest for pure cotton t-shirts and then cheaper for blends.

Once you have the answers to the above 4 points all you need to decide is the colour, budget and accordingly the brand. Absolutely simple isn't it! :) Some of my favourite brands when it comes to mens T-shirts are Zara, Jack & Jones, Pepe and UCB. The Spring-Summer 2015 collections of most brands are out in the stores now and it would be the right time for you to go and shop for the men in your life! 

In case you have any queries on picking up a T-shirt for the men in your life, then just drop me a mail or your comment below and I will be more than happy to answer them.

Father's Day celebrations with Nautica

While I have found my Prince Charming, my dad will always be my King! And like my love for clothes and accessories is unending, my handsome dad loves to dress well too. All in the genes you see :)

This year Father's day is on 16th June, and since my dad is whisking off all of us then on a trip as it is his birthday weekend too (twice the fun :D), I decided to go shop for his Father's day gift this weekend itself. Nautica was my first and only choice coz it totally fits the bill of clothing for men on the go, and my dad is ALWAYS on the go!

I visited the Kurla store at Phoenix Marketcity which is located on the Upper Ground level. Not a very big store, but right enough not to confuse me and easy to navigate. The staff at the store were very friendly and helpful and showed me every piece I wanted to, including putting them on the hangers for me to get a proper idea of the fall and fit. I would give a 10/10 for customer service. The essence of Nautica comes out in its entire collection - a love for the ocean that reflects in all the clothes and accessories as well as in the store merchandising. Elements of a ship like a steering wheel, telescope and rope tie-backs enfold you into the Nautica lifestyle. The collection is huge and practically consists of everything that a man would wear or use – Polo T-shirts, v-neck and round-neck tshirts, shirts, shorts, pants, khakis, denims, chambray, footwear, belts, bags and wallets. The reason why I said it was my choice, is because you get everything under one roof. Whites, blues, yellows, greens, reds are colours that dominate the collection. Who said Dad's need to wear sober stuff? I'm gonna pick up something nice and trendy for mine for Father's Day. Let's have a peek for you to see what I saw and liked :)

Clever merchandising!

Here are some of my picks for the occasion!

Mumbai currently has two stand alone stores at Phoenix Marketcity Kurla and Infinity Malad and shop in shops at the various Shoppers Stop outlets. Head to any of the Nautica stores and let me know your experience!
