The best thing about online shopping is that they have sales running on them every now and then! I was looking for a few jewelled hairbands which I had on my wish list since long and I went window shopping on ebay as it’s the only website where we get every damn thing , yes , I mean it ! Every single thing which you might not get on Flipkart or amazon you’ll find it on ebay ! Ebay is a site where you’ll find things you simply can’t resist ! The best thing about it are the sweet sellers who send cute message cards along with the product which make me happy ^_^ Hence when ebay had a sale going on I hogged the moment and hauled up a few things..

I bought a necklace set which I intended to gift to one of my cousin. While I was browsing I stumbled upon an irresistible pair of ear cuffs in gold and a cheaper one in silver. I also bought a powder blush from Anne Andrea in peach which I am yet to try!

These gold plated ear cuffs are pretty to look at and lightweight when you wear them and cost me around 500 bucks . The only con about them is that they tend to hurt your ears after a period of 1 hour . My ears turned red and it was quite painful :/ I think the fault is with the designing. I recommend you to avoid buying these, its painful!

The same goes for the silver ones, they were as painful as the gold ones :(

The hairbands where love at first sight ! The gold studded floral hairband is now my favorite ! I have worn it more than 25 times ! *Happy face* The silver is yet to be worn. the material of the hairband is good but the satin at the ends tend to come out , I had to stick them back with fevikwik. Other than that they are a nice buy at a reasonable price.

The necklace came in a delicate package and I am glad there was no damage done to it. It’s a sweet light silver color studded necklace with earrings.

I loved the cards each seller sent with their respective products. they had a sweet message for me along with their website address. So that was my small haul from ebay. Have you shopped for jewellery from ebay? How was your experience?

Mrinalini Chandra who designs high fashion jewellery showcased a some stunning pieces on ramp at the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week .

Mrinalini Chandras Jewllery line for the show was inspired by 'Shakuntala' and had a lot of fish, leaves, insect, monkey and flower motifs in it . Though the jewellery looked over the top and chunky they impressed for its sheer Originality and innovation. Never seen such outstanding statement pieces before.

Models walked down in shakuntala inspired saree drape keeping the make up minimal.The jewllery showcased had some amazing patterned belts, chunky necklaces and jeweled shawls, have a look.

Le Sigh! Creativity at its best. Droools!

Intresting love that hath phool kind of thing she is wearing

Hand cuff looks great

That Fish ring, off to my lust list you go. I. want. It.

great use of butterfly and floral motifs, love the arm bling

Now this is totally wearable statement necklace.

That Choker is Pure Hot

That kalire kind of thing is Cool and another ring to drool on!

The waist belt is so contemporary

The arm candy is lovely

Keeping the outfits plain shakuntala styled sarees worked well to showcase the grandeur of the jewelry but I do wish they used something more innovative and not plain georgettes as canvas! I now want to see these pieces incorporated by bollywood beauties in real life away from the ramp. Not everybody can carry off these dazzling pieces but some one like Sonam Kapoor can do complete justice to it.

My personal favorite from the collection definitely has to that chain link fish scarf, it is stuff royal dreams are made of but I also love the hand jewellery in the last photo. Infact on closer inspection I love almost every thing from this collection but well the fish shawl is an absolute Drool fest.

what is your fav pick from the lot? Do share  

Till next

keep it stylish girls
