The hottest colour combo for this season is red and pink, just like you i was surprised too as these were two colours that were not supposed to be paired together according to the fashion rule book. Ok, the fashion rules on colour combinations are ridiculous and i am glad that they are being broken more often than not. No red and pink together goes to the drain just like no navy and black together.

This red hot polka dot maxi dress was sent by boohoo as part of their blogger x dress of the month campaign, you can read more about it in this post i shared last year. Just like last time i wouldn’t have really ordered the piece for myself and that is the fun of this campaign to quiz the bloggers and to bring them out of their comfort zone. The moment i saw the dress  with the retro vibes i knew i had to wear it with pink shoes and earrings as i have been loving and wearing the red and pink combo quite a lot but in more subtle ways and i wanted to go all out with the trend yet keeping the look effortless and chic.

While stripes and florals will always be trending for summer and gingham the latest trend, polkas should not be ignored. They are classy and fun also look fresh in a sea of stripes,  florals and gingham at the moment.

Travelling can be quite stressful specially to a new place. One of the top stress points is what to pack, even though i travel quite frequently it still catches me so i decided to come up with a checklist, from my travel experiences, of the factors to consider before starting on the packing part and i am sharing the tips here with you today.

indian blog, indian blogger, top indian blog, indian luxury blog, uk blog, british blog, london blog, delhi blogger, tips on what to pack for travel, packing tips, packing for holiday, travel tips, indian travel blog

  1. First and foremost, the weather forecast for the place you are traveling to, i mean of course, when we decide on where to travel we have an idea of the kind of weather typical to a place for a certain time e.g In wales all year round the winds are sooooo strong, you can make out from the picture above, its absolutely essential to carry a wind cheater kind of jacket, but lets face it in todays time weather has a mind of its own, consider Delhi, it starts to rain anytime now even in April.  So to not have disappointments and so you have an equipped and practical suitcase do a real factual weather forecast check on BBC weather or accuweather.
  2. The activities you plan to do- Everyone has a different idea and purpose of travel. Some travel for adventure, some for party, some to relax, some to explore, some to eat, etc etc. Now before you start your packing you decide whats yours, it can also be a combination of things and what you pack has to be according to the activities you plan to do. For e.g i don’t party even when i was in Mykonos- the party place, we dint go out partying so a party dress was useless in my suitcase. If you know you will be walking a lot to explore, keep flats and sneakers. If you are going to eat a lot, i always do, better pack roomy clothes, lol!!! and so on.
  3. The vibe of the place- Now every place has a certain vibe and mood. A good way to check how that translates to outfits is checking the street style of the place on Pinterest or relevant hashtags for the place on instagram. Lets consider Paris, check the # parisian/ parisstreetstyle and the likes on instagram or search on pinterest to understand the kind of outfits that go well with the mood of the city. Also recommend checking famous bloggers from the place for inspiration. I strongly suggest that you stick to your own style wherever you go but its just a few things that we can select or not select from our own style that will be fashion appropriate for the place we are headed. 
  4. Consider what you will love to buy or what you can buy when there- Shopping is part of travel too and if you already know you will be buying something specific you don’t have to bring a similar item with you. Also what you can buy so don’t have to bother packing. Number 1 item in my list is a hat. I have read so many blogger posts talking about bringing a hat if you are going someplace warm but trust me do not. I have been doing this mistake and after my Greece trip i have resolved to never take a hat. Too much work to pack it well and even carry if you plan to wear it to the airport so you don’t have to pack. You always get great options to buy hats in 99/100 of all the warm places. Really great options and at good price. 
  5. Pack pieces that are versatile i.e easy to wear in a number of ways and work for different occasions from formal to casual. Like a white shirt that you can wear as a cover up to the beach and also for drinks in the evening.
  6. Last but not the least pack only the pieces you really love and wear and not pieces you hope to love and wear.

You have seen the city enough or maybe you haven’t seen it all but you need to see something else, something fresh to entice your senses, fortunately London has many day trip options. I was deciding on the best day trip from London and after much thought and let me tell you it was not easy,  i chose Brighton. Close contenders Cambridge, Oxford, The Cotswolds


Brighton won for 3 reasons 1. Vitamin sea 2. The architecture of The Royal Pavilion 3. A complete package for a day.


The main attraction of the city is obviously the beach, the minty sea with the pebble beach is beautiful and there is literally nothing like lying on a beach chair the whole day under the sun at just 1 hour from busy city London. The Brighon pier at the beach is twinkling and inviting, just gives the happy summery feels. You can also indulge in some trampoline and water sports like kayaking and surfing at the beach. 

The Royal pavilion comes on the way to the beach from the train station. What a majestic  and unique piece of architecture in England. If no one tells you, you would say it belongs to somewhere in India, built in Indo Saracenic style prevalent in India in 19th century. The pavilion gardens is great to sit, relax and chat. The best pictures and less touristy shots of the Royal pavilion also called the Brighton Pavilion are possible from the outer part.

Brighton also has some great shopping, small shops, boutiques and high street. 
With the sea comes the yummy sea food and let me tell you the portions are quite big in Brighton as compared to London. I had a kids portion of fish and chips and it was just as big as a full portion in London. 

If you go in the summer you will find streets full of seasonal shops, restaurant sittings spilling onto the streets, music performances and many other activities. Definitely suggest checking in advance about the activities before you go. Also i would suggest to avoid the weekends if you can as half of London comes to Brighton, well not literally but u get what i am trying to say!




























At under 1 hour from London Bridge station Brighton also famous for its LGBT community is bursting with attractions. From shopping to museums to beach to architecture to food to adventure there is something for everyone and deserves the title of the best day trip from london.

A record 19.88 million tourists (international) visited London in the year 2016 making it the second most visited city in the world after Bangkok. Summer is the most frequented time and whether travelling to the city from places close or far i have got you covered with what to pack so you have a fashionable but practical suitcase full of clothes and things for a trip to my favourite city.

 To begin with let me give you a let down on London style. I plan to cover what is London style in detail in a separate post but to just describe in brief, London style is classic and sophisticated with some quirkiness and edge. You always see the latest trends on the streets. Londoners have this polished and chic look with hints of fun and their own personality in their outfits. Somewhere between Paris and Milan

indian blog, indian blogger, top indian blog, indian luxury blog, uk blog, british blog, london blog, delhi blogger, delhi travel blogger, indian travel blog,  indian fashion blogger, top travel destination, top travel destination 2017, lonely planet recommend, travel to europe, europe travel info, summer holiday, where to go this summer,london, what to wear in london, what to wear in england, summer in london, what to wear in london in summer, peggy porschen cakes, ebury street, belgravia, most beautiful shops in london, most instagrammable places in london, instagrammable places in london, flower show london, london outfit, london street style, beautiful cafes london, tea and cake, must visit in london


The thumb rule for packing for any travel is to consider 1. the weather and no 2. what you plan to do in your travel. So before you begin to pack plan down your itinerary, if you are spontaneous kind and want to take as it comes, 100% think  about the kind of activities you will want to do in the city even if you can’t plan it just yet and do a weather check  so you know what is coming weather wise and there are no disappointments. 

A bit about London weather- London is having it great at the moment weather wise and it makes me really happy, even though i am not in London right now i am happy for the city and and its residents who have had a rough time lately with terrorism and things. Yesterday was the hottest day in 40 years and my friends, family and everyone on social media was like we are dying, about to melt!!!! Lollllll !! I totally get it, just last summer i was about to faint twice in London due to the heat, its just weird how the sun falls! Haven’t ever really come close to that in Delhi where the temperature in summers is 45 degrees celsius plus but London 30 degrees plus means disaster. Having said that, such days are rare and i will always want it to be sunny in London. Glorious and divine in the sun! If one word best describes our London weather it is ‘unpredictable.’ Not a shock to experience four seasons in a day, bright and sunny (28 degrees) starts to rain (becomes 18)  then the winds want to have a go (falls to 9) and if you are in luck it will be sunny again!!!!!! So you really have to be ready for all kinds while looking great, exactly the reason majority of London girls, carry a tote bag usually the Longchamp Le Pliage tote bag or a backpack with some shoes and clothes option.

Before i write down the essentials let me talk about this outfit i wore in London a week back to go to Peggy Porschen Cakes. Dress over jeans is literally my go to London summer outfit. Trust me what i told you about the heat wave is rarest of rare (the avg temp in London in summer is 20 degrees celsius)  and even on the hot days, evenings may not be so bare legs are mostly not practical and summer means dresses so dress over jeans is my practical way to do summer in London. And now the essentials for summer in London. 

  1. Bring flat sandals, white sneakers and the current trending mules. Spelling summer and warm weather take the liberty with your shoes. Keep a pair of heels just incase you go somewhere fancy. Restaurants can have dress codes so do check in advance.
  2. A light jacket- A leather jacket or a denim jacket or a trench coat- I say or because it all depends on the space in ur suitcase and why will u carry 3 jackets for a week long trip so choose what suits u best but in my opinion a leather jacket is the best bet because it is very versatile goes with dresses, skirts, jeans everything and works for semi formal to casual occasions. 
  3. Keep trending shirts/ blouse to wear with jeans but also do not forget a plain white tee. White tee is super versatile for city outfits. Paired with skirts or jeans alike.
  4. Bottoms- Trousers and jeans, depends on what you wear. Shorts are not essential but you can certainly if you love them, will also suggest keeping a pair of tights to wear with shorts if it is not enough warm.
  5. Hat is the number 1 accessory for London. Londoners love to wear hats, go so well with the mood of the city. In case you can’t make space in your luggage you can always buy at Primark or Topshop  for a day of fun around london town.
  6. Scarfs save you many a times- For summer you can keep a lightweight one. 
  7. Bring on the prints, patterns and colours. With the sun more in sight the colours look more yummy! Bright dresses and skirts to pair with neutral pieces should be in your suitcase. 
  8. Also keep a thin cardi easy to throw on over ur dresses.
  9. Bag -  A tote or a backpack to keep all ur essentials for your day out and a fancy sling bag. 
  10. Bring the bling with earrings, rings and necklaces. 
  11. Pack a mix of neutrals and colourful pieces, trendy and basic pieces. A ratio of 2 trendy to 3 basic will help you create more outfits from few pieces.
  12. Colours to wear in London- Londoners usually wear more neutral colours black, white, grey and nude. Khaki and navy are other favourites. It has to do with the grey weather but in the summer you see a lot more colour on the streets. Bright hot reds, pinks, corals and the likes.

What to wear in London in summer



A record 19.88 million tourists (international) visited London in the year 2016 making it the second most visited city in the world after Bangkok. Summer is the most frequented time and whether travelling to the city from places close or far i have got you covered with what to pack so you have a fashionable but practical suitcase full of clothes and things for a trip to my favourite city.

 To begin with let me give you a let down on London style. I plan to cover what is London style in detail in a separate post but to just describe in brief, London style is classic and sophisticated with some quirkiness and edge. You always see the latest trends on the streets. Londoners have this polished and chic look with hints of fun and their own personality in their outfits. Somewhere between Paris and Milan

The thumb rule for packing for any travel is to consider 1. the weather and no 2. what you plan to do in your travel. So before you begin to pack plan down your itinerary, if you are spontaneous kind and want to take as it comes, 100% think  about the kind of activities you will want to do in the city even if you can’t plan it just yet and do a weather check  so you know what is coming weather wise and there are no disappointments. 

A bit about London weather- London is having it great at the moment weather wise and it makes me really happy, even though i am not in London right now i am happy for the city and and its residents who have had a rough time lately with terrorism and things. Yesterday was the hottest day in 40 years and my friends, family and everyone on social media was like we are dying, about to melt!!!! Lollllll !! I totally get it, just last summer i was about to faint twice in London due to the heat, its just weird how the sun falls! Haven’t ever really come close to that in Delhi where the temperature in summers is 45 degrees celsius plus but London 30 degrees plus means disaster. Having said that, such days are rare and i will always want it to be sunny in London. Glorious and divine in the sun! If one word best describes our London weather it is ‘unpredictable.’ Not a shock to experience four seasons in a day, bright and sunny (28 degrees) starts to rain (becomes 18)  then the winds want to have a go (falls to 9) and if you are in luck it will be sunny again!!!!!! So you really have to be ready for all kinds while looking great, exactly the reason majority of London girls, carry a tote bag usually the Longchamp Le Pliage tote bag or a backpack with some shoes and clothes option.

Before i write down the essentials let me talk about this outfit i wore in London a week back to go to Peggy Porschen Cakes. Dress over jeans is literally my go to London summer outfit. Trust me what i told you about the heat wave is rarest of rare (the avg temp in London in summer is 20 degrees celsius)  and even on the hot days, evenings may not be so bare legs are mostly not practical and summer means dresses so dress over jeans is my practical way to do summer in London. And now the essentials for summer in London. 

  1. Bring flat sandals, white sneakers and the current trending mules. Spelling summer and warm weather take the liberty with your shoes. Keep a pair of heels just incase you go somewhere fancy. Restaurants can have dress codes so do check in advance.
  2. A light jacket- A leather jacket or a denim jacket or a trench coat- I say or because it all depends on the space in ur suitcase and why will u carry 3 jackets for a week long trip so choose what suits u best but in my opinion a leather jacket is the best bet because it is very versatile goes with dresses, skirts, jeans everything and works for semi formal to casual occasions. 
  3. Keep trending shirts/ blouse to wear with jeans but also do not forget a plain white tee. White tee is super versatile for city outfits. Paired with skirts or jeans alike.
  4. Bottoms- Trousers and jeans, depends on what you wear. Shorts are not essential but you can certainly if you love them, will also suggest keeping a pair of tights to wear with shorts if it is not enough warm.
  5. Hat is the number 1 accessory for London. Londoners love to wear hats, go so well with the mood of the city. In case you can’t make space in your luggage you can always buy at Primark or Topshop  for a day of fun around london town.
  6. Scarfs save you many a times- For summer you can keep a lightweight one. 
  7. Bring on the prints, patterns and colours. With the sun more in sight the colours look more yummy! Bright dresses and skirts to pair with neutral pieces should be in your suitcase. 
  8. Also keep a thin cardi easy to throw on over ur dresses.
  9. Bag -  A tote or a backpack to keep all ur essentials for your day out and a fancy sling bag. 
  10. Bring the bling with earrings, rings and necklaces. 
  11. Pack a mix of neutrals and colourful pieces, trendy and basic pieces. A ratio of 2 trendy to 3 basic will help you create more outfits from few pieces.
  12. Colours to wear in London- Londoners usually wear more neutral colours black, white, grey and nude. Khaki and navy are other favourites. It has to do with the grey weather but in the summer you see a lot more colour on the streets. Bright hot reds, pinks, corals and the likes.

Yoga comes from the sanskrit word ‘yuj’ which means to join, joining the inner self with the highest power. One of the biggest gifts of India to the world, the purpose of Yoga is to make the individual aware of his body and the surroundings so to help him lead a life that is not only free of diseases and ailments but also a joyful and enthusiastic one. Aiming at physical as well as mental and emotional fitness, its a true blessing to mankind. I used to practice yoga regularly till 2 years back but unfortunately and i should not make any excuses, its just my stupidity that i stopped. At that time i never paid heed to how it was helping me emotionally and mentally but now when i no more do yoga i realize and only regret!!!! Anyways its never too late and International yoga day was a great reminder to go back to this discipline that has got the whole world moving to it.

I had a great yoga session yesterday at Shangri-La new delhi with other bloggers that left me literally crave for yoga in my life so today i am sharing the benefits of yoga from my and my mom in laws  (we practiced together) experience a reminder to us and i hope they can inspire you to practice it as well.

  1. The first was flexibility- After 15 days my mom in law could bend and touch her feet. Even though her weight had only slightly changed.
  2. Our postures improved significantly- the many asanas and poses discipline your posture.
  3. Skin glows as the toxins go out and you have inner peace, so you don't have to take care of ur skin from the outside and also less makeup, lol!
  4. We could concentrate better- Since you need concentration and focus to keep your balance for the poses so when you practice yoga you also practice concentration and focus.
  5. Happier- With inner peace comes happiness but for a quick fix the lotus pose always helped.
  6. Reaction and intuition- Yoga makes you be in the present and be more aware of it so you are more intuitive and you react to situations better and faster.
  7. And of course we were physically fitter and trimmer.

I really wish i could do a crazy yoga pose to post but after being off it for so long i can barely scrape through the poses. That said i really hope i will have a crazy pose for the next years international yoga day.
