I have attended the NYFW Global Fashion Collective for the last couple of seasons. It's always wonderful to experience shows by many talented designers across the globe and cross-culture. Global Fashion Collective has always left us impressed by bringing such a forefront of the NYFW which they are known for.  -This time, I attended two shows; the 1st was by Hyper Culture Collection.   This runway show was unveiled with casual, innovative, quirky, ready-to-wear pieces. Designer Satoshi Shinada's creativity behind this brand's denim, jersey, and sweatshirt with graffiti and interesting phrases dominated this collection. A couple walking as a bridegroom patronizing jeans attire in the runways indeed added innovation and an out-of-the-box idea. The whole collection is vibrant and youthful with a dose of rebelliousness. The 2nd show was by Justin Jacob Louis. His debut in NYFW was unfolded with indigenous dancing, surely heartwarming, aspirational, and energetic. There are good...

Hi There, For the first time, I missed my 1st Show this season in NYFW as the weather has been really bad on the East Coast. T orrential  downpours and power cuts had happened, which was enough reason to create gridlocks. I usually stay in New York during NYFW , but this season I had 3 shows on the same day and I decided not to stay in the city but to return the same day to cope with my kid's busy schedules. Our home to NYC is a 2-hour drive and today it took 4 hours, so I couldn't attend my 1st show as most shows run on time.  However, I wanted to share what I wore for the show. How I decide what to wear for the show. Creating an ideal look to attend such a show takes a lot of thought and ideas. Looking good is just one criteria, but the look should be such that it not only creates an impact but at the same time it should align with your personal style. A statement look is always good for Big 4, and uncomfortableness is the last thing we opt for. In addition, we have to kee...

A few years back, when I visited Mumbai , I touched the major tourist spots in Mumbai.  After a few years, I now have the opportunity to visit several neighborhoods in  Mumbai .  Bandra is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Mumbai. Synonymous with the residence of many Bollywood celebrities. Growing up in the 1990s as a kid in India, there's no way you weren't exposed to Bollywood. Bollywood is not just about movies but also about a star-studded life. Back then, social media had no influence, yet I heard about the affluent suburb of Mumbai, Bandra, where many stars reside. In the 1920s, people who visited Mumbai made sure to visit Bandra to see Manat, the home of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Also, to get a glimpse of the superstar. Today's Bandra is hip, utterly modern, and a great hub for fashion, eateries, art, music, and more. The Arabian Sea encompasses Bandra, which embodies the coexistence of diverse cultures, communities, religions, and socioeconomic s...

I had been to Gillette castle many times and twice inside, but don't know why it took me a while to blog about this unique castle and the state park. Just 30 minutes from Connecticut's capital, Hartford, it sits right above a cliff overlooking the Connecticut River. This amazing stone castle's outdoors is as mesmerizing as it is indoors. It has many characters, whether intricately carved wooden doors, bars, walls, or as detailed as wooden switchboards. While visiting this castle, you admire this incredible man called William Gillette, his vision, and the creative ideas that were incorporated to build this castle. It took us back to 1912. William Gillette, an accomplished actor who portrayed Sherlock Holmes, was born in Hartford in 1853 and discovered this location on a boat trip on the Connecticut River in 1912. Since he didn't own a permanent home, he built one here. It was completed in 1919 and cost about 1 million us dollars. With an 184-acre property, this 14,000-s...
