In the health department, berries have a fabulous reputation. They are full of antioxidants, high in fiber, loaded with Vitamin C and are also good for your heart and bone. Plus these summer fruits taste delicious adding a nice flavour and taste to your recipes.  While I love adding berries to almost all my smoothies, I particularly prefer a Berry Smoothie after a workout as it's very filling and super nutritious, complementing my workout regime.  This Berry and Avocado Smoothie is my favourite - it is very rich, creamy, sweet and refreshing. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and avocados are the key ingredients in this post-workout breakfast smoothie. Berries & Avocado Smoothie Ingredients: 8-10 blueberries, 6-8 blackberries, 5 strawberries 1/2 avocado 1 plum 1/2 apple 6-7 raisins Almond milk {update: adding nut milk is not a good idea. Only use fruits and greens only to your smoothies, no granola or plant-milk} Instructions: Add all ingred

    ( Image source: Taj Hotel ) (Image Source: KiwiCollection) (Image source: Taj Hotel) Among all the royal hotels in Jaipur , Rambagh Palace Hotel is undoubtedly the best place to stay. It dips you into pure luxury exuding Rajasthani royalty; after all it is the former residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur himself. Currently the property is managed by Taj group and they have ensured it has the perfect blend of Indian traditional architecture and a taste of royal experience while meeting the demands of a modern traveller. Ideal for : A luxury stay giving you the ultimate royal experience in a real world palace {heritage property}. Grandeur, opulence and pure luxury yet very quite and calm - describe this place the best. Where: Bhavani Singh Road in the heart of Jaipur. The Rooms : We stayed at the Suryavanshi Suite. It was a grand suite with an old world charm and a peep into colourful India with rick craftsmanship. Upholstery with prints in blue an

After years of discomfort with the flat shoes, I finally gave in to my fear of wearing flats. Oh Ugly! Not kidding, the ugly shoe fever caught me and last week when I spotted this pair at the Charles and Keith store I couldn't resist buying them. It was more like summer bit me and the citrus hue was pleading - PLS BUY ME! The best thing I like about Charles and Keith brand is not only do they have stylish shoes and bags, but they are also vegan friendly. Most of their products are leather free, which is a big relief in this {in-compassionate} world of fashion. What's that one thing you're scared of wearing?

Luxury to me is a complete experience, every aspect has to be lavish and opulent. Whenever I plan a holiday my travels fall in either of the two categories - pure indulgence or a explorer. When it's the former it's all about staying in a great hotel and relaxing with a little bit of exploration and when it's the latter it entails living like a local, discovering the uncommon places and I don't mind staying on a budget. When I visited Delhi a while ago, we decided to stay at one of the upscale hotels in New Delhi considering the past few weeks had been crazy due to the workload, which means it was now time to indulge. Among all the luxury hotels in Delhi I somehow never got a chance to stay at The Leela Palace at Chanakyapuri, although I did visit their coffee shop when it opened. And I must say it was a great stay. Ideal for: City break when you want to feel like a royalty. What: The Leela Palace, Chanakyapuri, Delhi Where: In the midst of the city i

Months, its been literally months that I had my eyes on this gorgeous colour from Stella Falabella collection. Its no news that I am obsessed with Stella McCartney bags {with bags that look like these and come with a tag "Suitable for Vegetarians", who wouldn't?}. I was over the moon when I received this as a present delivered from Barcelona. What I love the most about this bag is that despite its size, it can stock in a lot of stuff and the colour makes it so versatile. It looks great with a dress, denims, shorts, an all black outfit, a monochrome outfit and even with a pop of colour. However, like my other Stella McCartney bag, the chain of this bag digs on your shoulder too and you can see the marks on your skin after you wear it. Plus, this bag is also very slouchy, so when you hang it - it loses its shape and looks weird. I think the slouchy Falabella overall is not a good style from Stella - no matter how great it looks. In fact, my other Stella McCar

Topshop White Shirt, Cotton On Striped Skirt, Steve Madden Shoes, H&M Hat and Charles and Keith Handbag Happy new start of the week peeps!! My week is starting off pretty awesome as the travel diary has started a new chapter. From Mumbai to this new destination (I am going all hush hush about it for now, you'll get to know soon), the summer sun is brimming in full rage, which means I can easily transition my full summer wardrobe to Fall. Yippie!! If you are on my Instagram you'd already know I spotted these vegan shoes at Steve Madden and although I was planning to get it in nude, the gorgeous tan was too hard to resist. How do you like them?  With shoes like that I couldn't think of anything but classics to go with it. So I paired a white button-down and a striped midi skirt and threw my recent love a floppy hat for a good measure. This bag is also a new addition to my wardrobe. With a transparent front, slide sling, and enough roo

Paying homage to the last days of winters in the winter staple tartan print. While I do like those pleasant sunny days, winter is my absolute favourite season. Not the freezing, snowy winter that'll lock you down in the house, and terrorize you with the mere idea of stepping out, but the winter where just some basic layering with a blazer or even a denim jacket and a scarf will suffice, those winter days where you would love to sit in the balcony reading your fav magazine while sipping on green teas and enjoying the winter chill. So for today, one of the last such pleasant days {and evenings}, before the scorching heat sets in I decided to get out my winter staple tartan print and pair it with a denim jacket and clash with the leopard print shoes. The coral-pink-peachish nail colour from the vegan nail paint brand butter London will add a nice pop of colour and go well with my oxblood jeans. Nude lips and top knot will finish the look perfectly - casual yet chic is what I am a
