India Shopping

This is going to be all pictures of the stuff I bought in India. Nothing else. And of course some descriptions and explanations of what, when and why. Because I obviously can't help myself.

Let's start with the small stuff. I got presents (keychains) for work people and this awesome mousepad from myself from a store, can't remember what its called wait... got it, it's called The Bombay Store!


Got this Lakme quad - looks pretty but the quality is pretty shitty. I also got a bronze gold lipstick I didn't photograph, that's quite nice.


My aunt who was visiting India from the US brought me tons of mascara, as per my request and brought me the John Mayer CD I sent to her house off Amazon. Love this CD.


Also I bought this Marian Keyes book from Crossword in Shoppers Stop. It's good but nowhere near as good as Sushi for Beginners or Last Chance Saloon.

I also got The Mummy because it only cost me RS499 which is basically nothing compared to prices in Malaysia.

Other small stuff I got was these bindis which I got on the last day, at the last minute at the station road. It was madness. I'm so sad I didn't get more.


I got this top and shoes in Inorbit. The grey shoes are Miss Sixty, so cheap like RS2500. Only thing is I have NO idea when/where/how I'm going to wear them. I'm going to try wearing them to work tomorrow. Should be good.



Now for the Indian clothes! BTW I bought more than this but I got lazy photographing it. I did put the most expensive stuff in though. This first kurta I got on sale for RS500, I wear it to work, its nice and simple.

My cousin picked out this kurta. It's sooooooo pretty. I'm going to wear it for Ching Wen's brother's wedding this Saturday. Sorry this picture is so blurry but I can't be bothered to take another one.

My Dad picked out this kurta, completely love it. The dupatta and churidar are silk, while the top is cotton with embroidery. Got it from this store close to my aunt's house called Pagli. Cost about RS5500.



This sari my cousin gave me as a present. It's silk and very sweet.


This sari was on sale, about RS2000, I got it from Shoppers Stop. i love the 70's vibe of it.


I LOVE this sari. It's half net and half silk I think, got it from Jashan. It was about RS5000.



This sari was the most expensive, got it from a store called Sheetal. It was over RS12,000. It's so expensive it came with it's own cloth bag!



And look at these AWESOME shoes I got to wear with Indian clothes. The brand is Catwalk.


Finally I got this jewelry to go with my clothes. Let's start with these awesome ear-rings I got from Shoppers Stop, both Western and Indian clothing friendly. The bangle was a present.


This was a necklace on sale, sorry about the quality of the picture. Anyway it was about RS400. Got it from this jewelry store called Sia. Fake and fabulous jewelry.


These bangles were on sale, I think they were about RS1500 or so. They're very heavy, very fancy.


This necklace my Dad hated. I was shopping with him that day. Anyway I completely ignored him and bought it anyway. It was about RS1500 as well.


That was all my India shopping. Crazy, now that I look back on it. Too much even. I leave you with the image of my O.P.I. painted toenails, Got it done at a L'oreal salon around the corner from my aunt's house in Mumbai.
