Adieu To Television Remote War

Flashback, rewind, repeat, play. Our huge family of siblings, cousins, aunts, and so on were all having a family reunion. After a long day of sumptuous dishes, tasty treats and fun games , everyone settled into the living room to watch some good old television entertainment. There was the OSCARS  2010 award show broadcast and we all wanted to watch that. Whoosh! Popcorn checked, Coke checked, everyone in their favorite spots Checked!!. Lets get this evening rolling.. Just 10 minutes into watching the exciting arrival of the actors, the previews of the upcoming performances and drooling over the gorgeous dresses of the divas, our youngest cousin started crying. Argh! This 6 year old cousin wanted to watch TOM and JERRY!!. Of all timings! His mom took out their laptop and tried to make him watch some of the saved videos but no, this kid wants to watch it on the ''Big TV'' and it had to be now! Well, who can argue with a crying (bawling eyes out) 6 year old :(. So, for 30 grueling minutes, we had to sit there and  watch the cartoon till he said OK! to switch the channel. What a spoiler it was! On other days too, I still remember my youngest brother always with a frown on his face whenever that cousin comes over. My brother loves watching WWE and my cousin would insist on watching CARTOON. Yeah! families are fun and they are everything but just, tiny bit just sometimes, we love to watch our favorite shows whenever its on TV. And we all know, in family 'war' for the remote, the youngest or the eldest always wins (haha!). 
Well, now, this is the age of mobile entertainment and everyone downloads and watch their own favorite movie or music video on their iPad, Tabs, etc.  And for students or working professionals  like us living  in another city, there are less fights over the TV remote. But I really do miss out on some of favorite shows like Game of Thrones, Modern Family and India's Next Top Model because of TIME scarcity! I know that I can download them online and watch them later but again, when you are so busy, where do you get the time to sit down and download? I wished there is an easier way to fix this problem. How awesome would it be to record and save the shows when they are on TV and transfer them to your mobile device?. 


TATA Sky was the first choice when we purchased a DTH  for our home. Maybe it was the Sharukh Khan ad or the catchy theme, Tata Sky seemed like the perfect choice. And now in 2016, TATA SKY has once again proved to be a game changer in DTH revolution. It recently launched  'TATA SKY + TRANSFER" set top box which  is going to radically change how you view entertainment. Basically, Tata Sky + Transfer lets you - Record your favorite show , Transfer them to your device and View them in offline mode whenever and wherever. Yay! This means I can record my favorite shows and save them on my smartphone or tablet and watch them when am taking a long boring metro ride :). I would say this is the best thing that has happened in years and no more missing out on my cool shows! I really dread long commutes and this new cool feature from Tata Sky is going to be so so helpful. Besides, I am saving my broadband data usage too. Plus plus points all the way! 
To know more about this new feature, please visit http://www.tatasky.com/transfer/ . And here's the cool ad from Tata Sky. I am so psyched! Enjoy!

Come December Wedding Season Again

Hello Beauties,

One of our favorite topics to write are on wedding dresses and by now you must have seen tons of posts on this same topic. I used to think that I will get tired of looking at wedding dresses too often but that does not happen :). Every design of wedding dresses that are available around have their own unique and special quality and each dress is so beautiful. The ladies here will all say Yes! to this I am sure. So, no surprise here for today's post which is on wedding dresses. Ever since online shopping became a thing and you can get any item online, lots of store owners have been selling wedding dresses. The range and variety of wedding dresses you can find online is just overwhelming. Try for yourself to choose a particular site or the wedding dress for your own and you will get what am trying to say here. I mentioned in an earlier post that my cousin sister is getting married this December and that we tried to choose a wedding dress online. And we did get so lost and bowled over by too many dresses available and had a hard time choosing. We are still searching as I write this post (all the best to us). 
Speaking of wedding stores online, I like to share about one store that sells wedding dresses, wedding party dresses and other special occasion dresses. Rosa Novias (http://www.rosanovias.com.au/ ) is a company that is based in the UK and offers professional custom made, designed dresses for its customers. I love how their designs have an elegant touch and the details are so skillfully crafted and made with the finest quality available. The designs range from richly embroidered style to simple style and fits the wishes of different brides. When it comes to any store online, I think that variety, attention to detail and meeting individual needs of the customers are the core assets to look for. I've often exited some sites due to lack of variety or lack of option for custom alterations. 
I am sharing some images from their section on  Strapless Wedding dresses . For wedding dresses, my first choice is Strapless dress styles and these are so beautiful and so perfect for any bride. Hope you enjoy them too.

http://www.rosanovias.com.au/elegant-beading-aline-satin-lace-strapless-sweepbrush-train-satin-wedding-dresses-p-172.html
Truly, when a bride puts on a wedding dress, she is a beautiful vision in white and the most grogeous and lucky woman in the room. Well, this are not the only ones available at Rosa Novias and if you like you can check out other sections like Mother of the bride dresses if you are a Mom reading this post and you have your daughter's wedding coming up. Or for people like me who have to attend a cousin's wedding, their section on Special occasion dresses would be just perfect!. Either ways, have fun checking out the site and hope you find something you like. I am sharing this last image below, one outfit which I would love to rock. Am not so great in high heels and I love how they have paired the dress with comfy boots :).  Thank you for reading! Great weekend to all.

Swept off by Zen Power

                                                                    Hello Beauties!
Just back from the super awesome Zen Festival and still reveling in the awesomeness of the new phones launched by Asus. The first of its kind "Zen Festival" made such a huge splash and enthralled  Zen fans and even made some new Zen fans (including me). I just simply cannot wait to get my hands on the Zenfone Selfie and take fabulous pictures! I will tell more about the new phones a little later in the post. 
I went along with a blogger friend at 1:15 pm and my! the place was packed and people were already waiting in line at the entrance doors. Luckily, there was a separate line for bloggers and on saying 'Blogmint', the ushers were kind enough to direct us straight to the counter for our passes and goodies :). After some quick poses and pictures outside, we went in and waited for the show to begin! The event opened up with an amazing performance by drummers who wore these fun costumes (inset pic). The crowd went ooo! and ahh! and we knew we were in for a great show. After the drummers act, handsome and dashing Cyrus Sahukar came on stage to be the host for the evening. Entertaining and funny, Cyrus set the show going , engaging in tidbits with some of the audience present. Then came the main part of the event - Unveiling the new phones!. ASUS Chairman, Jonney Shih quickly presented a slideshow on Asus presence and rankings around the world. Not surprisingly, India is the top consumer of ASUS phones! A big round of applause to India for that. Okay, ASUS launched three new phones today -
* Zenfone 2 Deluxe
* Zenfone 2 Laser
* Zenfone Selfie
Am not really a techie blogger so I won't write all the specs and features of these phones. They are however very cool and so very reasonably priced considering their features which Asus boasts are better than Iphone 6. My favorite is the Zenfone Selfie which is specially made for the selfie generation. A front camera with 13 megapixel, wide-angle lens, real time beautification. HDR mode etc, the Zenfone Selfie is going to be the next big thing for selfie lovers!. And priced at INR 15,999 /- only! So, watched out for it next week when it hits the stores. 
We were expecting a performance from Sonakshi Sinha but she instead demonstrated the Selfie phone by taking some selfies on stage. 
And wait! Asus gave away free Zen Lolliflash for all those who attended. But unluckily, they had run out by the time we exited. But all in all, the Zen Festival was a great event and we had lots of fun and a delightful afternoon. Looking forward to the next Zen festival which I believe is going to be bigger, better and fantastic!.

Shoes Galore - Ankle Boots and Others From Ercidress

Hello Beauties,

Hope you had a wonderful week. I know, going to work or college is not a fun thing or maybe it is for some lucky people but the point is, weekends are the best right? Me and my friends were making plans for the weekend and one guy sent a funny picture in our whatsapp group which looks like this 

someecards
Funny right? Well, we all need some humor in our lives I think or everything gets boring and monotonous. Now, back to exciting things like the WEEKEND! Yes, I know, most would be busy starting their weekends by now and flooding Instagram with candid shots or blurry shots (if you are high). LOL. Just kidding. 
Ahem! Today's post is not about giving you ideas on how to enjoy your weekend but if perhaps you are going to a club or party or formal events, you would definitely be wearing awesome shoes. And yes, SHOES it is am going to write about. A woman can never have enough shoes and nowadays even men are following in our footsteps. I am sharing some pictures of only two kinds of shoes today. But we know we love all the kinds of shoes that are out there. Okay, Shoe Number 1 is 'ANKLE BOOTS' . Man, I love ankle boots since they just about complement with any kind of outfit and for those of us with blessed short legs, ankle boots make them look longer :). And if one wants to buy them, there are no lack of them at stores near you or  cheap ankle boots online ( click here )


 And talking about getting them online which is more convenient for some shopaholics, Ericdress.com (link ) is a cool site which we have shared about in our past posts. They not only have wedding apparel and special occasion dresses in their collections but also a vast range of shoes like Ankle Boots Women; Wide Calf Knee High Boots, Cheap Knee High (here ) Boots , Fountain Pumps, Peep Toe Pumps ( here ), Well Pumps etc. Pretty cool I think. 
I love and recommend their ankle boots collections and some of my favorites are:

Roman Style Boots

A Classic brown colored lace up boots that would look great with a pair of denim shorts. 
Chunky Heel Lace up Boots
I chose this for the interesting tribal prints and they would be perfect with a monochrome dress. 

Butterfly Wings Boots
This looks fun and cool and so KATY PERRY!

Brown Women Boots
Another one in brown because they match with any color outfit! And lastly, you also got to have black boots in your closet. 



Thank you for reading.

Lace Wedding Dresses By LandyBridal


So then, weddings right? No words to describe how weddings are the most special and most awesome day for all of us. A very grand affair and aplomb with celebrations and merry making.  I just love to attend weddings and make it a point to never miss this special day for my friends and relatives. Now, talking about weddings, and why today's post is on wedding dresses. The thing is, my cousin sister is getting married this December and we were looking through, no, we were prowling the internet vigorously (haha!) for the best design and style of wedding dresses and whats In now etc etc. 
We found that there are like hundreds of online sites that sell wedding dresses and we had a hard time choosing the best one and that which was according to her tastes. She wants a lace wedding dress and since December is going to be really cold, we were looking for something with mini sleeves. Okay, browsing through all the dresses was so fun and we got lost trying to pick the most perfect one. And also the fact that all of the dresses are so so pretty and we went all drooling over all of them :). 

Finally, we decided to look through the collections at Landybridal  because they seem to have a lot of choices for every style and they did not disappoint us. Clicking on their section on lace wedding dresses 2015 , we found some really pretty and fabulous dresses and as am writing this post, my cousin is having a hard time choosing the most prettiest among them (LOL). Maybe you can help and share your thoughts on which one is the best? 







Personally, I love the Trumpet/Mermaid style of wedding dresses and was just wowed by the collections at Landybridal. They not only have the most gorgeous of dresses but also the prices are quite reasonable and under 400 USD. Here's a peek of their Cheap Mermaid wedding dresses . I love them all ! Thank you for reading.

The tradition of Homecoming is a wonderful one where alumni of a school, college or university are welcomed back. It is a joyous event with celebrations in the form of sports and cultural activities, parades etc. The event usually involves an evening of fiesta and formal dinners. Ladies and gentlemen are dressed in their Sunday best at such gatherings. Well, the Fall season is the time for homecomings and I bet that some of you staying in different places around the globe maybe getting ready for one. And today's post is meant to help you get ready and even if you are not going to a Homecoming dance, why not feast your eyes to some of these gorgeous dresses. The dresses can be versatile and if you have the knack for it, wear them at any formal occasion and look your best self. 

The dresses are from a site called COCOMELODY which sells mostly wedding dresses and special occasion dresses and they have a collection of some good cheap homecoming dresses which look really fabulous. I personally love some of the new designs they have added and think that they are so chic and suitable for wearing on dates too, aside from formal dinners. Loving the colour BLUE right now and i've decided to share some of them here and these are picked  short homecoming dresses under 100 . Quite a steal I think, don't you too?

You would be doing a huge favor to your girl circle if you introduce them to this site for purchasing the most pretty of dresses.
