Hello everyone!

There is a lot of stuff that I’m excited to show you and this is a collective haul of things that I’ve accumulated over a few months! There are clothes, jewelry, shoes and whatnot! So, let’s begin! 😀

I’m going to start with Forever21.

Aztec Pencil Skirts – They were around Rs. 600/- I don’t remember the exact price because I bought them quite some time ago! You can see these pieces in action in the “Outfit Of The Day” category

Blue Pencil Skirts – They were around Rs. 500/-

Leotards – Around Rs. 600/-

Crop Tops – Rs. 350 – Rs. 600/-

Burgundy Maxi Skirt with Slit – Rs. 750/-

These beautiful boots were on a crazy sale. They were Rs. 1600/- and buy one and get one free! So, it came out to be only Rs. 800 for each!

Now I have a few things from Stalkbuylove!

The shirts were around Rs. 800 – Rs 1100/-

The bag was about Rs. 1300/-

Now for some random bits!

I got these amazing red textured pants from Lifestyle for Rs. 1899/- They are by the brand Ginger. They’re extremely well fitting and super comfortable! I went again to buy more after a few weeks and guess what? They were on sale for Rs. 600/- each! So of course I picked up two more colors!

Animal Print Peplum Top from MadishTheStyleBar – Rs – 1500/- but it was on sale for Rs. 750/- plus I had to pay an extra Rs. 150/- for delivery.

Soft Yellow Ruffle Top from Koovs – Rs. 1200/- but on sale for Rs. 495/-

Blue Peplum top from Koovs – Rs. 500/-

Studded Belt from Koovs – Rs. 500/-

Snakeskin leggings from NaughtyStrands – Rs. 795/-

Shimmery Leotard from Fashionara – Around Rs. 700/- I also have this in brown. The brown one is not so shimmery though but I love it!

High waist floral trousers from StyleTag – They were on some crazy discount for Rs. 400/- each! Rs. 400/- right? Yes I know its crazy!

Coral Jacket by Harpa from Jabong – Rs. 1500 but on sale for Rs. 850/-

Studded Bag by Harpa from Jabong – Rs. 1600 but on sale for Rs. 900/-

Statement Necklaces by 20Dresses – Rs. 400/- to 700/-

Waist belts from 20Dresses – Rs. 400 – Rs. 600/-

Shoes from Zara – They were also on a crazy discount. Marked down from almost Rs. 4990/- to Rs. 1290/-

So this is it for my insane haul. This is a result of various shopping trips to the mall and online orders over a period of months!

Side note – I am so excited for winters! I finally get to bust out the boots, coats, sweaters and scarves! And makeup stays in place the whole day and hairstyles hold! 😀

I hope you enjoyed this post. Some of my previous fashion hauls :

HUGE SAROJINI NAGAR CLOTHES HAUL!

13/04/201428/04/201410 Comments

By Aishwarya Kaushal, Sunday, 13th April 2014

Hello everyone!

Sarojini Nagar hauls are my favorite! You can find amazing clothes at throw away prices! Its almost unbelievable! I will be showing you what I got from Sarojini recently. This huge haul is a result of a few different trips to Sarojini. Also, I went to Sarojini on a Monday! The market stays closed on Mondays but when I went for the first time, I found that the majority of shops were open. There are also bundles of clothes on the floor and the sellers shouting 3 for 100 or 10 rupees each! Cant believe it right? However, it takes a lot of effort and time to rummage through the endless bundles and find a few things you may like. But, it is definitely worth it because I sure found some very interesting pieces!

I also bought shoes, bags and jewelry but I plan to do a separate shoe haul and another accessories haul, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Let’s start with what I bought on a “regular” day :

Yellow and Hot Pink Button Downs with Collar Studs – Rs. 175/- each

Peplum Shirt – Rs. 200/-

Blue and White Top – Rs. 150/-

Black and White Striped Shirt with Skull Buttons – Rs. 150/-

Coral Shirt with Gold Studs – Rs. 200/-

Blue Cold Shoulder Top with Collar Studs – Rs. 200/-

Green Sequined Crop T-Shirt – Rs. 150/-

Black T-Shirt with Gold Studs – Rs. 150/-

Corset – Rs. 150/-

Lace Skirt – Rs. 200/-

Burgundy Hi-Low Skirt – Rs. 200/-

Gold Sequinned Skirt – Rs. 200/-

Camouflage Shirt – Rs. 200/-

Grey Bodycon Dress – Rs. 200/-

And now for the really fun part!

All of these 4 were only Rs. 50/- each!

Sheer Maxi Skirt – Rs. 35/-

Green Cropped Top – Rs. 35/-

Sheer Hi-Low Skirt – Rs. 35/- I intend to cut the black ruffles off.

Silver One Shoulder Dress – Rs. 10/-

Shirt – Rs. 10/-

Grey Shirt Jacket – Rs. 10/-

Animal Print Top – Rs. 10/-

Unbelievable right? You have to remember that some of these clothes may be used/worn previously. Please wash them thoroughly before wearing. They may not fit well or need some altering but then again it is not a huge loss even if they don’t!

This is it for my clothes haul. A shoe haul and an accessories haul is going to be up soon!

Please go to the “Outfits Of The Day” category to see these clothes in action!

Outfit Of The Day – White Jacket & Animal Print Pants!

09/03/201428/04/20142 Comments

By Aishwarya Kaushal, Saturday, 9th March 2014

I want to get into wearing printed pants more often! So I started with an easy to style pair of animal printed black and white pants!

I paired these pants with a white blazer. It adds elegance and class to the otherwise wild pants!

I added a pair of leather booties to add a tough girl vibe.

The black bag brings the outfit together and goes very well with the booties!

Lastly, I finished the look by adding a gold fringe necklace that one of my lovely readers asked me to style!

Bag – Forever 21

Pants – Big C

Jacket, Necklace – Sarojini Nagar

Booties – StreetStyleStore

If you live in New Delhi and you haven’t heard about “The” Sarojini Nagar Market, you are living under a rock!

For those of you lesser known, it is a place of joy! ( For Shopaholics ) A place that sells export surplus at throwaway prices.

These are items that may have been left behind during shipping or may have been rejected by brands due to little to very minor imperfections that you probably will not even be able to detect.

Here are some of the items that I picked up and loved! ❤

CLOTHES :

This hot pink top was bought for Rs. 200 ( $3.26* )

Hi-Low ( Mullet ) Skull Printed Dress – Rs. 400 ( $6.51* )

Floral Print Ruffled Skirt – Rs. 250 ( $ 4.07* )

Palazzo / Flared Pants – Rs. 300 ( $4.89* )

Scarves and Stoles – Rs. 50 each ( $0.81* )

Now we shall move on to HANDBAGS!

Rings and Toe-Rings – Rs. 50 – 250 ( $0.81 – $4.07* )

In the words of Lily Van Der Woodsen : “Every shopping turns into shoe shopping!”

FOOTWEAR :

Dark Green Booties ( On Sale ) – Rs. 650 ( $10.58* )

Nude Flats ( Fresh Stock ) – Rs. 700 ( $11.40* )

Red and Animal Print Flats ( On Sale ) – Rs. 400 ( $6.51* )

Red Satin Studded Pumps ( On Sale ) – Rs. 250 ( $4.07* )

So this is it for my haul. I love whatever I found to bits!

Now I will share with you some of my tips and tricks to shop wisely at markets like these :

1. ALWAYS carry cash! Flea market sellers do not accept credit cards. There are some showrooms as well that may accept credit cards but it is always safer to carry cash. And, carry notes in small denominations of Rs. 10, 20, 50, 100.

2. Put your bargaining skills to test. The seller will usually start with a price of his choice. Quote half of that and then you can fix the deal somewhere in the middle,

3. Be a good negotiator.

4. Have patience. There will be many duds but to find the gems you will have to keep digging.

5. Keep an open mind. You will usually end up buying things that you did not even think about getting.

6. Be reasonable with yourself. It is easy to lose your mind and be overwhelmed with the sheer volume of choice. Examine each item and ask yourself if you really see yourself wearing it. Don’t just buy everything!

7. Check! Check! Check! Check each item you are willing to purchase for holes, cuts, stains etc. Sometimes they also stock used items for sale. Make sure you check whatever you purchase inside out. If there is a small stain that you are willing to compromise with, you can usually ask for a better deal.

8. DO NOT go on the weekends. It is so crowded that you probably will not be able to see things you like anyway!

9. Go during the morning hours as the sellers are usually very superstitious about their first income of the day. They believe the whole day’s business depends upon how good/bad their first income of the day is. So, they are willing to let go of items at a cheaper rate.

10. Carry a big cloth bag and stuff your things in it. The sellers will give you tiny plastic bags and if you don’t have your own big bag you will find yourself trying hard to manage several little bags.

11. Take care of your belongings. In places like these, there are many instances of pick-pocketing, stealing etc. So, make sure all your cash / phone etc are stored in a zip lock bag chained to your body.

12. Look for trendy items. Sarojini Nagar Market is famous for selling on-trend pieces for unbeatable prices.

13. Take a person you trust along with yourself to help you make better decisions. But, remember to take someone whose choice matches yours or you may end up regretting bringing that person.

14. Have an idea of your shape and body. There are no trying rooms so try on what you can over your clothes and ask your friend to take your picture so you can see how it looks on you.

15. Do not even think of wearing heels. Wear something very comfortable. There will be a lot of walking and rummaging through stuff so make sure you are wearing something you feel free in.

16. The market usually opens at around 10:30 a.m -11:00 a.m and closes at 8:30 p.m – 9:00 p.m. It is closed on Mondays.

I hope you enjoyed this post.
