Shop ,Shop and Shop away!

Did I tell you I love shopping!I mean I just totally love it!!
Window shopping,"Hardcore" shopping,Helping others shop!You name it,I'm game for it!

Which brings me to now,where I have found a soul mate for my shopping expeditions :) She works at the same place I do and trust me has the same passion to deliver money to the shop keepers hand like I do!

So Dpty and me have been shopping like crazy since I joined the company!We go shopping together and I find things she would like and she picks them up,she finds things that I would like and I pick them! :)

I am going to dedicate this blog to my favorite shopping destinations in Bangalore  because there have been some people who have asked me where I shop from and where I get all my stuff from :) Hopefully I can put up images of stuff I have pickedup provided I get the appropriate images :)

1.The malls-Bangalore Central(any of them,and there are so many!) You get a whole lot of brands and if you are really a smart shopper you will manage to pick up things at reasonable prices and stuff that is not displayed all over.This ensures that you don't bump into a million people wearing the same thing.

One of my finds here was a knit purple dress(something like the one in the picture and I team it with a broader black belt.It was a steal!Trust me! :)



2.Much more-A little shop that Dpty introduced me to very close to office again which makes it oh so convenient to shop around!And celebrate when you get your paycheck :)They have stuff that's sourced from abroad.The Bangkok,Thailand variety and are extremely reasonable!Cute little halters,nice prints,some of those vertical/horizontal stripes that I'm a big fan of as of now :) They also had some cute harem pants and tank tops that Dpty had a ball picking up :)








3.Chemistry-I have seen their stuff on and off but never really bothered to shop there until of coz Dpty dragged me there! :) The prices are a bit on the steeper side but the stuff was lovely!They had cute tops and some nice sheath dresses.They have a spattering of bags here and there but I fell in love with one!Its a boho chic kind of bag,brown knit/jute kind of material,with the tassels that usually go with the Boho Chic look and is overall gorgeous!

They also had a sale on the first floor,a one day only sale and the things there were 70% off! :)I bought this pantsuit in a deep violet color,the kind that makes your legs go on forever!A lil bit retro but totally suited my body structure and I loved it :)
Few differences Mines a deep violet,with spaghetti straps and I team it with my erstwhile black belt and my boho bag :)

4.Splash-Its a Dubai based clothing brand and they have some smart stuff and good accessories!You really have to hunt though,and it helps if you go there when they have sales,like a buy one get one free sale that's going on rite now! :)(I really should be there instead of blogging!!!!!!).They have a good mix between edgy stuff and classic stuff.
The pic is a dress I picked up from there

5.Mint - This little shop at Garuda mall,but good only for dresses and maybe some party wear tops.They have the most lovely one shouldered silk dresses,bandage dresses and a few sexy tops :) Almost all their dresses are very fitting and short!The kinds that you first get into and its then stitched on you so if you like the loose flowing kind of casual dresses you wont find them here.

P.S I own different variants but you get the drift! :) :)

6.Fashion and You- A site that I found on this other blog I follow www.highheelconfidential.com,I saw the ad on the side and registered when the concept had not taken over completely.I did find some interesting things there because the sell you Manish Arora,Vertigo,Hugo Boss and other such good brands at a slightly discounted price.I say slightly discounted because an Ed Hardy T-shirt even at a 20% discount is still very steep!Still there are some really nice things that you can pick up there.Provided of coz you know your size,like I know I am ALWAYS an extra small so I don't go for anything else.So UK size,US size I choose the smallest either way!But if you have issues(you arent sure if yo are a small or a medium) with sizes I suggest you stick to the physical stores,coz returning it and then shopping for something else is quite a big pain!And I'm not too clear on their return policy!

I picked up this hot pant jumpsuit from there long before it reached the markets so that was a good thing.
The image below isn't exactly what I bought but the pattern is similar.Mine is a dark charcoal denim and no shading around it whatsoever (I hate that shaded effect on denims!!)
I guess that's about it from me :) You can trust me to shop around and find you more such places :)
I m of now :) Where???To shop of coz!!Haven't you been reading my blog!! :D
