(: Its a Maxi Dress Affair :)

Hello hello hello ! All good? All good? :)

We are done with our disappearing act  ! :P

Its been ages! And well summer is surely making the blogosphere look prettier like never before :D

Summer.Since we are still students summers have always meant only one thing for us. Vacations! :D Haha!

Any person living in Mumbai shares a love-hate relationship with summers. On one hand the heat is terrible, sunscreens do more or less nothing to prevent tanning, traveling is a BIG pain and on the other hand you can always catch a sunset after work and feel awestruck everytime you watch it go down the sea (happens with perry always! :P), a glass of Chilled beer goes down the throat like water and no shame in saying it feels like heaven when that happens! :D , Stepping into a place with Air conditioning becomes THE most important thing :P, cotton is the only fabric you swear to buy everytime you go shopping and ofcourse one gets to wear maxi dresses ! :P

 Haha ! yes all of that boils down to this only! :P

We have been loving.. no! ABSOLUTELY LOVING this trend. Maybe we are a little too late to try it out but better late than never no?

Top 3 Reasons to love and wear a maxi dress :

It suits every body type.  :D

Maxi dresses will make you look feminine and fabulous without having to compromise on the comfort. Infact they are comfortable enough to sleep in. (just saying ! :P)

Maxi dresses will save your legs from getting tanned! Big problem in this city atleast !

Here are 5 people who blew our minds away, dropped our jaws and inspired us to buy a maxi dress for ourselves :D 

1.

Aakriti D, our most stylish classmate. Has the best collection of bags. Never seen without her warm smile. Loves sleeping and looks Gorgeous in a maxi dress :P

Bye..Take care :)

First! :)

Firsts are always pretty emotional no?
The first time you watch a shooting star, the first time you get drunk, the first interview, the first time you try to wear make-up and end up looking like a fool, the first time you hold hands with a loved one, the first cat fight, the first heartbreak, the first drops of rain on a blistering hot day, the first pair of heels
 OR
 the first time you see your picture in a magazine! :-D
We were excited, happy and supremely nervous when we got to know about it from Dhruvin Shah (check his work! Its AMAZING! http://www.behance.net/dhruvs).
After the pictures were clicked we couldn't wait for the issue to come out. 
Andddd on 3rd march 2011. 
Trishala calls Prerana
T: perryyyyyyyy ! its out its out !

P: what? 

T: The magazine! *lots of giggling*

P: *even more giggling* Oh shit Oh shit!! Hows it ? how do I look? Whats written ? (many more questions till she can’t breathe) :P 

Trishala starts reading the article and Prerana cant stop interrupting her with a ‘wow’ ‘oh my god!’ and giggling after every sentence :P 

So yes it was an overwhelming moment when we saw our picture in the Time Out magazine, Mumbai of this month. :)
It is the first time and we just can’t stop flaunting it. :-D (We've been carrying the magazine everywhere! Heehee :P) 

Before we go there are a few people we want to thank (Yes, this is our e-speech with tears in our eyes :P)

So Thanks a lot Dhruvin Shah for letting us know about this

Prerna Makhija (Time out magazine) for being a complete sweetheart :)

& Poloumi Dey (Time out magazine) for the amazing picture 

And ofcourse Time out magazine! 

Thank you guys, you’ve made this special moment happen for us. :)

Merry Christmas ! :D

Its that time of the year again! :P

So we have been busy.  Busy doing something that we LOVED. Styling. :-)  

We helped in putting up the costumes for the fashion show in two bmm fests back to back. :-D

BMM Fests have always been mad fun! Last year we had more or less no work except for cheering on top of our voices :P This year we were a little busier. (Little only)

So in these fests, the name of your college is NOT to be disclosed and each college gets a contingent name according to the theme of the festival.  

Blitzkrieg -KC College turned into a land of magical stories and fairytales- Where our contingent’s name was Jake Sully.

“khalbali hai khalbali KC aaya jake sully”  :-P

Trishala and I didn’t get a chance to click many pictures but there are a few.

These were at KC Fest Blitzkrieg

Yes, Painted faces! :-D

Here is the fashion show link:

Came second in this fest. Mathematics should be added to the BMM syllabus. Seriously. :-| :’( 

Detour-Jai hind on the other hand chose to do it the Grecian way with the theme being Greek Mythology. Every college was named after a Greek god and our Greek god was Chaos.

The fashion show however was with a twist :P Every college had been given a music artist who’s style had to be displayed in the fashion show and also incorporated in the greek gods. Our artist was Madonna (bigggggggg smile)

Here are a few pictures

 

This is a bow trishala made for one of the madonna outfits :) 

We won this fest :-D

Though it got nerve wrecking at times, We have sailed through :P

We took back a lot of memories, smiles, Abuses and mainly LESSONS. Lessons on how to take pride when everyone tries to copy you, How not to get into a cat fight, How to save the day (YES) and how to survive the last 10 minutes before a fashion show :P

Thank you. 

Bye :-D

:')

We are loving this.

This feeling of being adored and accepted for who we are, is AWESOMESAUCE !  (new word :-D )

How to bargain like a pro.

Hullo

So.

Today we are going to tell about 5 easy peasy steps on HOW TO BARGAIN like a pro.  

How else on the earth would the outfits get done in less than 2000 bucks ? :-P

            1-No matter how old or young the storekeeper is, DO NOT call him “uncle” . Avoid it.People don’t like being reminded of their age. Yuss!

             2-Poker face always helps. No matter how amazingly beautiful or hot a top/chain/pair of pants are please don’t let the excitement show on your face. If he knows how badly you want it, the chances are very meek that he will take your price. Jump and yell all your want, pull your hair in happiness LATER. Save the “Oh my god’s” for later ladies :-D

            3-Use the puppy face as much as possible. It works most of the times. A sad looking person in the store is too much for any man to handle. He will want to get rid of you ASAP. There. You win! :-P

            4-Make promises. Tell them you will come back again. You will go and tell about this awesome shop to ALL of your friends (NEVER EVER DO THAT :P ).  He can charge you extra the next time you visit (keep saying this every time ! :-P). You will never ever tell any other shopkeeper that they sold it to you at such an inexpensive price :D etc etc

          5-Make him feel guilty. Say random things. How the world is going to end by 2012 and its no use fighting over silly things now. How you were saving up money for this very piece ! . How this is all going from your pocket money and you will have to travel by public transport for the next week. However please say just one or two things. Don’t make it seem like PMS cribbing. PLEASE! 

:-P

Trishala’s Favourite bargain line : “Please please give it ok ? We are college students and our allowance is very low (dont forget the puppy face) ”

Perry’s Favorite bargain line: “ hello ? Arent we your regular customers? Give it at our price. Pleaaaaase?" (doesn’t matter if it’s the first time at the shop)

Till then we shall enjoy our beers. JUST LIKE THIS. 

:D

Till the next post
