Anarkalis Haul ~ Ethnic Fashion
June 04, 20150 Comments
 If you are following up on this blog for a while now, you will know that recently it was buzzing with the news of a big fat wedding. This haul was made 2 months ago (close to the wedding).

The main idea behind the haul was splurging on some wearable, not-so-heavy-yet-gorgeous anarkalis. You know how much drama goes behind an Indian wedding so you can imagine what fun it was shopping for all of these! :D

The awesome Bling Sparkle Trio *ehem* went shopping and this is what we picked from our haul! All of them look prettier in reality!

My Fav:
I think this was the classiest and most chic Anarkali of the lot! I loved the colour and the minimal detailing. I am not too found of collar necks but this one's simply perfection! 
It has detailing in the back side too. I love love love it!!

This one didn't photograph well. It's not that bad in reality. It's kinda nice to wear on a simple occasion! The latkan detailing is fab!

 This is the one shown in the first pic. It's very different from others. The design is kinda unique! Also, there's no lays in the borders so this one's considerably lighter than others. Comfy too.

 This one's another beauty! Don't know why but the colour pink always catches my eye. I always end up buying a pink! :D It has detailing on the sleeves too and the kalis are considerably more in this suit.
All of them were bought from an outlet in Majestic, Bangalore. 
What's your favourite? Do let us know in the comments!

The ‘Pari’ Haul : Ethnic Jewellery #ShoppingDiaries
May 18, 20150 Comments
100_8360
Jewellery is something that women swear by! And hence just like clothing, jewellery is all about colors and intricate designing ! Be it imitation jewellery or precious metal and stone jewellery , Indian women are way too fond of all kinds of jewellery .
When it comes to jewellery Indian jewellery has no match in the world. Chand Balis, Traditional gold plated bangles and fusion bracelets with charm bangles , huge earrings and cuffs are a few pieces in which Indian women don’t think twice before investing money in. How many of you’ve heard that if you want to impress a woman buy her beautiful jewellery & accessories ? Well if you have heard something in the similar lines than you must have an idea how much jewellery means to women all over the world.
Artificial Kundan style jewellery or silver imitation jewellery sets are all in fashion these days because gold & platinum is not always affordable & imitation jewellery is something which one can stock up to match all of their clothes or styles ! Plus I remember my granny advising to never carry gold jewellery with us during long train journey’s as it is not safe and hence we always ended up wearing imitation jewellery which for one is not a bad thing :D So yes imitation jewellery or artificial jewellery is the next big thing which is trending among Indian girls !
Recently while I was browsing through the Flipkart’s jewellery section I came across a brand named ‘The Pari’ which sold beautiful creations. And after I checked out their whole collection I couldn’t help but drool at all of their products.The next thing that followed was a lot of shopping from their collection :D So it was jewellery shopping time for me also something over which I was guilt-free for not having spent a fortune over the next piece of jewelry!

The Pari has a wide range jewellery and make earrings, pendants, chokers, necklaces, rings, bracelets. Their packaging was good . Each product came well packed in brown custom made boxes. You can buy their products from either from Flipkart, snapdeal or from their website.

I bought 3 sets of bracelets which are droolworthy along with it I bought two pairs of earrings. These bronze earrings are my favorite and they match most of my ethnic kurtas and I have already worn them 6-7 times ! Yayy! The only con about them are that they a lil heavy . The next pair of earrings are light on the ears and a treat to the eyes ! I have these on my wishlist since I saw them on Priyanka Chopra and the moment I set my eyes on this I knew I had to buy something like this ! *teeheee*
Pari earrings Ethnic jewellery
I bought a two finger ring . This is an absolute favorite of mine. I’ll tell you a secret I ordered a purple two flower double ring but instead of that they sent me this starry beauty and guess what I am thankful this confusion took place ! I lurvvvvv ring *I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT* Along with it I bought a pink ruby toned unique ring which I love equally !
Trendy fashionable rings The Pari
I am not a fan of cuffs and the only disappointment that came from The pari was this cuff. It discolored and turned bronze after a couple of outings.

I bought two necklaces in silver , each different from the other. They were purchased with the intent of gifting but on receiving them I fell in love with one of them and only one among them went into the gifting list ;)
100_8359
And last of all I bought Gold plated bangles for my momma dearest and she is over the moon about them . So I guess they are good too :D the best buys were the stacked bracelets with charms in them ! I fell in love with these and now plan to buy more of them in other colors :D

Flipkart keeps running discounts and sales and this is the best time to shop from The pari and become the proud owners of great jewellery that doesn’t cost the sky. With such beautiful jewellery from brands we now surely can experiment with our looks and also complement them differently each time. So what are you waiting for? Just visit and shop for classy & unique pieces of jewellery at dirt-cheap prices now!
Until next time

Jewery haul ~ Commercial street
December 05, 20140 Comments
In this recent post of ours, we already discussed how much we love jewelry and how we can never get enough of it!

Today we will be sharing with your some beautiful earrings which we Bling Sparklers got to haul on on a recent shopping venture to Commercial street(Bangalore).

Shivajinagar or Commercial street, is one of the hottest and biggest shopping streets of not only Bangalore but the whole of India. The collection and reasonable prices you get there cannot be found elsewhere so easily....you just have to know which shop to enter or which stall to shop from!

On eid-uz-Zuha, we Bling Sparklers got a chance to visit Shivajinagar and buy ourselves some jhumkis and jhoomars for our Eid outfits. As always the inevitable happened and we ended up lusting and buying more than we had ever intended too. Didn't click pictures of all things we bought but here are some pieces which we JUST couldn't resist clicking and sharing with you lovelies!



The best part was the fact that the prices of most of these were a steal! None of the pieceswent above Rs 500/- (Cool eh?!!)

We loved every bit of it, especially the jhumkis and the kadhas! :D
What's your pick? Do let us know!!

Haul Time: Bag from Bagsy Malone
September 15, 20140 Comments
I can never get enough of Bags and Shoes! When I was casually browsing through Limeroad.com, I came across this bag and the rest as they say is history!

It's a peachy pink with magenta undertones. The quality Bagsy Malone offers is fab so is the unique designing of the bag. The handles are apt and much to my convenience there are 5-6 pockets and zips. If you see all the pictures below you will notice the unique opening of the bag. The only problem I witnessed was the weight - It's a bit heavy for my tastes! 

Price: 1999/-
Brand: Bagsy Malone

Colour Crush ~ Blood Red
August 19, 20140 Comments
It's sexy, it's sazzy
It's hot, it's the colour of 'the knot'
Oh! It's simply fab and plush
Meet Blood Red, my present Colour crush!

Red is a colour with fifty shades. It's the symbol of sacrifice, passion and courage. It represents Love, anger and joy. There's so much a little pop of red can do to an outfit.

For example, red lips go with almost everything available in a woman's wardrobe. That's the reason every woman should own a shade of red lipstick which suits her skin tone. 

A single pop of blood red accessory can turn your otherwise sober outfit to plush. Red bags are the latest trends.

I have seen red being associated with love since I was a little girl. There's a reason why red roses can do what other coloured flowers can't - It's because the colour itself speaks wonders, it entices you, gives you an unspoken message and brings a smile on your face!

The first Red product I ever wore(to the extent of my memory of course) was a charming Blood red ethnic suit which complimented my skin perfectly and filled me with zest every time I wore it.

The latest Red in my wardrobe is an Allen Solly clutch and a Lino Perros bag. (Pics below)

My favourite Red lip products are: 
*Revlon Fire gloss
*NYX lip cream Amsterdam
*Elle 18 lip smoothie in cherry red.
*Nivea hydra shine lip balm+lip colour in Pomegranate and strawberry.
*Revlon Just bitten balm in 'Adore'(It has hints of red)

I am lusting upon:
*NYX lip cream Amsterdam. Want to buy loads of them! :D
*Mac RiRi Woo lipstick ^_^ *you are going to be mine soon!*
*NYX cream blush. The intense pigmentation red one!
*A pair of gorgeous Red pumps
*Many many more things! :P

Recently I bought a polka dotted red cutie pie dress from Avirate, Flipkart, but it didn't turn out what I had expected it to be. Returned it today :( Thanks to Flipkart's awesome return policy!

Here are some pictures of the current reds I am in love with:
Allen Solly Spicy Red clutch
Revlon gloss in 'fire'
Red bag from MAX fashions!
Gold and and pink pearl ring with red undertones.

What's your present colour crush? Share it below :)
Lotsa love,
~ Bushra

Color Crush wednesdays : Candy Pink
July 30, 20140 Comments
 Welcome to 'Color Crush Wednesdays!' - The new feature at Bling Sparkle where I share my recent color crushes! :)
This week I am smitten with the color for which every girl's heart beats - Candy Pink!
Here are the pink things which bullied me into loving the color pink all over again!

I met the above gorgeous dress at Lifestyle store, Bangalore and got head over heals instantly! Everything from the candy color to the intricate lace design is lovely about this dress!
 Every girl should own a makeup kit, meet mine! I got this bag as gift from the Lakme store when I shopped for above 2000/-rs worth beauty from them. They always give you these little pleasures, let me know if you have got any :)
 Bought this from Limeroad! It's a dash between a bag and a sling - love it! the tassles in the end make it more alluring! It's from Lino Perros, a brand which we at Bling Sparkle love!
 This intense kisses gloss from MUA looks chic on my lips, giving them a candy, kiss me effect! Review coming up soon!
...and now, my personal favorite! LOVE this sling I bought from Yebhi.com! The BEST thing is that my Tablet fits in it - Ummaaaaaahhhh! *kisses and hugs* ^_^ The spike design gives it a retro effect and the strings are real comfy! Closer shots coming up soon on another post! :)

...and guess what! My eid outfit was pink too! :) I have uploaded its pic on Instagram. Follow me @Bushrazeba to get a sneak peak! :)

Iam loving shopping online these days, sites online offer far more discounts than offline stores and their sales usually run round the year and not only during a particular season!

Myntra is one of the pioneers in the indian ecommere scene and sells everything lifestyle. I have shopped from them before and this time there was a sale on so and I did short sweet haul and thought I should review this site too.

Collection: Myntra has a huge collection of brands and products to choose from . They have renowed brand like, Adidas, Stanley Kane, Calvin Klein, and more to choose from.
Deals and discounts: Myntra almost always has discounts running , I advice you to google coupons or visit sites like coupun rani before placing order to save some bucks.
Packaging: I was impressed with the packaging as all my items came in sturdy cardboard boxes which were then sealed in plastic polybags.  My facewash was even bubble wrapped .100_6496

Shipping and returns: Myntra offers free shipping on Rs.799 or more otherwise a shipping charge of 59 is charged. The shipping is very quick and they have 24 hour dispatch guarantee. I received my order  2 days after ordering which impressive. The have hassle free 30 day return policy and a return form comes with the order itself. I havent returned anything yet so I have no idea how it all works out.
Loyalty program: Myntra has an exciting rewards program called the My privilage loyalty program
myn2
Customer service: Myntra have great customer service and queries are promptly responded. Infact they reply immediately on twitter.
Payment Options: You can pay using credit card, debit card, net banking or cash on delivery and EMIs . Basically payment options are plenty so suit yourself.
Now have a look at what I brought. I purchased a Vishudh anarkali flared kurta and ponds pimple clear facewash

My Rendezvous with Elabore
May 21, 20140 Comments
Nothing adds that oomph factor to your outfits like a chic stole does, and considering the comfort and confidence it gives you, it's a must have!

Be it work, travel or a casual night out, I love to drape my stole around my body in different fashionable ways.

Come Summer, I was on the look out for brands which offer good quality of stoles in chic floral and funky prints, that was when I came across this wonderful website called ElaboreStore.Com who sell scarves, stoles, and shawls which when donned can instantly glam you up and give you loads of comfort too!

Elabore is the Biggest Online Scarves,Shawls and Stoles store which offers fine quality of products which guarantee customer satisfaction!

Why Elabore?:
*On signing up, you get a 250Rs discount on your first purchase( above 1000) Kewl eh!!!
*They offer products ranging from 300 to 9000/-. So, you have a wide range of CHOICE!
*The collection is simply BEAUTIFUL! Some of the cute floral prints and trendy pieces just stole my heart away.
*FREE SHIPPING worldwide!! ^_^>

I am truly elated with the experience I had with this store and I am eager to show you all what I bought:
I bought two stoles, one in flirty pink color and the other in orange punch.  The pink one is made up of 100% wool yet it does not irritate my skin much. The orange one is made up of a very smooth  cotton cloth which feels like a dream on my skin. The pink one is suitable for winters while the orange one is suitable for summers, but thanks to the beautiful weather in Bangalore, I'll be able to use both of them now! :D *happy dance*
Quality Of products:
The quality of the stoles I bought was simply superb! True to the description mentioned while buying them, there were no changes in the material,size or colour! If you are looking for fine quality than this is THE store for you.
Shipment:
They offer free shipping worldwide-Kewl eh!! So, no matter in which corner of the world you are, you don't have to worry about the shipping charges for shopping from Elabore!

My order reached me within two days. I think the shipment time varies from place to place. Nevertheless, I was impressed as even Flipkart ships in a week or two these days. >_<

Pricing:
The pricing is quite reasonable. The better the quality of the product, the higher the price! They have a lovely Inaugural sale on right now and some lovely inaugural offers too!

More: 
When I am not on a real shopping verge, I still browse this website(window shop it) to learn the different innovative ways to style a stole. ....and what's more! I am in love with Elabore's lifestyle blog :)

All in all, I TOTALLY recommend this awesome website to all you gorgeous Ladies and suave Men(Yes they have stoles for you too!)

Keep Shopping,
Love,
~Bushra

Psst! I was playing with my stoles when this idea of spelling out 'elabore' using them stroke me. Come to think of it, not a bad job eh?! :P
