ShopClues is India’s first and largest online marketplace and recently at an event they announced the launch of their new avatar focused on the fashion category. The underlines theme for this new campaign is #LookGoodEveryday, with focus on trendy clothes, matching jewellery and accessories and completing your look for everyday. The clothes, jewellery, accessories are all very very trendy and appealing and yet very affordable.
The launch event was organised at Nehle Pe Dehla by Niche, in CP and saw some of the leading fashion bloggers and media attend the event. The event had a very casual and party like approach with many exciting games and activities for the audience like Hoop the Trend, Tol Mol ke Bol and Dressing the Mannequin. Shopclues also showcased some of their best collections and also introduced their latest trends through a Fashion Show. I must confess that I fared very badly at the Tol Mol Ke Bol game, as every time I guessed the price for a product, it was much cheaper than my guess. The quality of the products didn’t let me guess it for less, but they truly were very affordable and surprised me every time when the price was revealed. After a few failures, I did manage to guess it right
Radhika Aggarwal, Co-Founder and CBO, Shopclues interacted with the audience and highlighted the idea behind the campaign. She said the focus was on giving a smart dressing wardrobe for which one doesn’t need to spend huge bucks and also there is something for every kind of shopper. Be it men or women, some one who wants simplicity yet look presentable or someone who wants to dress outstandingly, there is truly something for everyone.
Modern Roots is a latest collection for women that represents various handicrafts of India such as pure indigo to mirror work, the range is priced from 499 t0 1599.

Even when the temperature is soaring high in Delhi, nothing can stop the enthusiasm and energy of fashion lovers from visiting the summer edition of Rubaru. Rubaru, which is a brain child of 3 friends, Durgesh Goel, Minal Aggarwal and Vandana Aggarwal is a collaborative effort to curate brands for a unique and stylized experience. It gives both the brands and customers their value for time and money. As a customer one gets to experience so many brands under one roof and the brands also benefit by getting a greater exposure. Such exhibitions are always a win win situation for everyone. In its 15th edition, Rubaru, yet again proved to be a fashion and lifestyle extravaganza.
Over 50 brands, specializing in summer-wear, organic materials, summer chic and wedding bling jewellery, home décor, juttis and footwear, and even interesting food products, it was a packed house at Lalit Hotel. Tarot reading on the side, bling footwear bang in the centre of the hall and noted FDCI designers Rahul Singh, Abhi Singh and Gaurav Jagtiani coming together to form the perfect ensemble for a fashionable day out. Out-of-town travellers included brands who’d come from Jaipur, Lucknow, Punjab, Himachal and even Goa.
“No two brands at our exhibition have overlapping products or styles, and I only pick brands that I enjoy or would love to shop from, to give people a quality shopping experience,” says Durgesh Goel, founder of Rubaru.
The collection showcased by the designers was really chic and classy, and some of the pieces were truly mind-blowing. It seemed like a shoppers paradise. Me and my friend and my mom, enjoyed walking through the entire exhibition, picking up our choices and even posing with some of the designer pieces.
Given a chance, would have picked up a lot more stuff from the exhibition, but holding on for the next edition to indulge and splurge. Exquisite pieces of jewellery and some inso-western outfits really grabbed my attention and loved them.
A great evening spent splurging and having fun with friends..Rubaru was truly a delightful experience!
As a fashion enthusiast, you probably keep an eye on changing seasonal trends. Fashion is not just about the top brands, but it is also about how you interpret ideas for your personal style. In this special post, we will talk about the best spring 2017 trends. These are ideas that made headlines during the four spring fashion weeks and are absolutely perfect for any fashion-conscious girl. We will also add a few tips on how you can make the most of these ideas.
Think pink: One of the hottest colour palettes of spring is pink! From the mellow pinks to hot fuchsias, pink made a nice comeback to the runway, and we love the amazing mix of shades. You can try pastel pink dresses or bright outfits for casual brunches – there’s enough for everyone. For a few ideas, check the collections of Balenciaga and Valentino among others.
The classic floral girl: Floral prints for spring can be boring, but not this time. A lot of designers and fashion houses, including names like Balenciaga and Chloé, worked with floral in a different way, adding a more retro twist of the 70s. While bright colours were pretty evident, we think that simple floral outfits can make a mark any day. This is more like a classic style, and the good thing is you will find plenty of options in budget on online stores.
More jumpsuits: If you are tall and have a body to flaunt, jumpsuits can be your staple for casual clothing. Jumpsuits look great for any occasion, as long as you choose the right colour. You can find some amazing simple jumpsuit ideas in the shows of Hermès and Vanessa Seward. There were no big hints, but it was more about minimalism, which works best when you are looking for something comfortable yet appealing.
Stripes with a difference: Spring 2016 had a lot of striped looks, but those were bold and contrasting stripes. Come 2017, we will see a lot of functional and more wearable stripes that seem to follow no fixed lines. This is more like origami of lines, often inspired from seaside and office stripes. If you are fond of simple trends, we presume that this should be your singular pick of the entire list. To know more about this idea, take a look at the collections of Chloé and Sonia Rykiel.
Hoodies are here: Hooded outfits are usually reserved for fall, but there’s no harm in trying new things after all. Top shows of Balenciaga and Paco Rabanne featured hoodies with a difference for spring 2017. Instead of regular sweatshirts, hoodies worked best as an addition to regular outfits meant for spring.

Our love and fondness for great luxury handbags from Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Gucci or Bulgari, often makes us forget the chic and luxurious wallets that these brands offer. Our lack of appreciation for a great wallet is mostly because we feel that a wallet is utilitarian and hidden inside our handbag. However with changing trends, brand conscious fashionistas have begun to take great interests in wallets. I rounded off a list of authentic pre-owned luxury wallets that are readily available to buy online at best price range.
Tom Ford Zippy Wallet
The zippy wallet from Tom Ford is practical as well as chic. Its small size doesn’t hold it from providing adequate space to hold your cards and bills. The black calfskin leather with contrasting gold-tone hardware gives the wallet a fabulous and classy finishing touch. The ‘TF’ logo on the front of the wallet makes onlookers instantly recognise the brand and appreciate its design.
Chanel Black Camellia Embossed Leather Bi-Fold Wallet
Chanel produces the market’s widest array of small leather goods and fans of Chanel adore the wallets offered by the brand. The wallets made by the brand are synonymous with opulence and grandeur. Take for instance this exquisite Bi-Fold Wallet from Chanel, its pure style and craftsmanship has luxury written all over it. The black camellia embossed leather wallet is practical, functional and chic all at the same time.
Valentino Garavani Continental Wallet
This dazzling wallet from Valentino has a breadth of freshness. The color as well as the minimalist branding, makes the wallet a gorgeous piece of accessory to give you the perfect finishing touch.
Roberto Cavalli Blue Snake Skin Continental Wallet
This Roberto Cavalli wallet will make a bold fashion statement. Luxurious and practical the wallet displays the prominent Roberto Cavalli logo on the front. Its zip around wallet opens to a spacious interior which will hold your bills and cards. Crafted from snake skin the wallet will last for a long time without losing its attractiveness.
Louis Vuitton Black Monogram Multi-Color Wallet
The Louis Vuitton Eugenie wallet is a delightful creation and a timeless classic. The colourful Louis Vuitton monogram on black leather is stunning and sophisticate. The gold tone hardware gives it a classy finish while the contrasting pink interior will make onlookers look at the wallet with envy. Spacious enough the wallet can transform into a clutch for a night out in town.

Fashion and sports enthusiasts got a spectacular treat as India’s leading online fashion portal, Jabong and recently launched Active Lifestyle Brand Seven by MS Dhoni, hosted an event with the modern-day cricketing legend and India’s One Day International cricket team captain MS Dhoni himself.
