The glitterati of Kolkata gave the winter a run for the chill when they became privy to the razzmatazz- ‘Metamorphosis’, a workshop on party makeup by Ms. SAMANTHA KOCHHAR, Managing Director, Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies at SOLACE, 4, Sunny park, Kolkata.
Sisterhood of Fashion – Nee & Oink
Two beautiful and talented sisters, one, trained in fashion designing and the other, in graphic designing, came together in 2011 to launch their first collection of children’s wear. Their inspiration behind launching a kids wear line? “There weren’t too many people making good-quality clothing with natural fabric for children”.
Neelakshi and Oiendrilla Ray, the Nee & Oink sisters of the eponymous brand, consider themselves privileged to grow up in a world where creativity was nurtured. It was initially founded out of a desire to fill a market void for children’s fashion they discovered while shopping for their own kids. Adhering to various requests, the trendsetting brand has now forayed into adult women’s wear, remaining true to their eclectic prints and signature cuts. Nee & Oink organised a bloggers meet at their flagship store in Jodhpur Park and I loved what I saw there. Here’s a glimpse of their children’s wear and adult women’s wear collections.
I loved the festive ethnic wear for children, the insect motifs, the zardozi embellishments and the beautiful Mughal-inspired embroidery on tops and dresses. Very classy and smart. For more information on Nee & Oink and to shop the clothes, check out their website.
Nee & Oink 219, Jodhpur Park Kolkata – 700068Preview Of The New Ritu Kumar Store At Salt Lake City Centre 1 + OOTD
Ritu Kumar has opened her 4th store in the city at the Salt Lake City Centre 1 mall and I was there on Friday to take a look at the collections specially Fall Winter 2015. Popular television and movie star, Riddhima was also there to officially launch the new store. Designed with a modern industrial vibe, interesting light accents, the RK signature panelled walls with the Tree of Life wallpaper, the 1300 sq ft store has her wedding, couture, classic and Label collections. Fall Winter 2015 has Ritu Kumar’s signature embroidery and minimal use of zari. Here’s a preview of what you can expect at the store.
I recently got this floral quilted jacket from Oxolloxo which I wore that day. Winter is somehow eluding us even in the middle of December so still can’t wear any heavy stuff. This jacket despite being quilted is quite light and gives that smart/casual edge to an outfit. You can buy it here.
Awadhi Food Festival At K19, The Park Plaza Kolkata
I came back from my trip to Amritsar and Mcleodganj with the promise that I will not even touch rich and spicy food for atleast a month. My diet plan succumbed in front of the aloo kulchas, parathas, kaali daals and creamy lassis and I was determined to put it back on track. Then I received an invite from The Park Plaza Kolkata for their Awadhi Food Festival. My brain told me to say No. My stomach said “It is only one meal and you won’t get Izzat Hussain to cook for you every day so just go”. As usual, I listened to my stomach and surrendered. And I’m so glad I did because the meal was not only delicious but surprisingly light and easy to digest!
