In A BARBIE World!



Blonde hair, big eyes, frilly frocks and high heels, childhood memories of a girl will surely have all of these. We grew up in a world of fantasy, where dolls were our first group of friends. Out of the plethora of dolls available around the world, there is one beauty that has ruled our hearts for decades- BARBIE. With a flash of pink innocence Barbie made its way into millions of hearts, making beautiful memories with its wonderful fantasy stories.


The  fashionista doll was created by Ruth Handler and first launched on 9th March 1959. (Source: Wikipedia). Hence, 9th March is its official birthday. I got my first Barbie at the age of three and till date, I have always been mesmerized by the doll and its lovely world. So this year, I decided to celebrate my favorite doll’s birthday by dressing up like her!





This is a chic look for a party for which I picked up pink and red elements from my wardrobe.  I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that I usually prefer plain outfits over printed ones. So I opted for a plain pink off shoulder dress. One outfit can be used to create different looks. It’s all about teaming it up with different accessories. For the party look, I teamed up the dress with pink and red pencil heels and a red metallic sling clutch. For jewelry I added a pearl bracelet with a ‘B’ letter charm (luckily Barbie and I have the same initial), pink nails and red lips to complement the colors of my outfit and of course, an oversized pair of ornate-framed shades!

Unlike my fetish for plain outfits, I prefer outstanding statement accessories. These pearl and stone shades are one of those picks. Such accessories should be carefully styled and teamed up with ensembles that have relatively subtle elements and plain surfaces.

Alternatively, the pink dress can be teamed up with silver or white sneakers and a white sling bag for a casual day look.

Fifty-eight years later, as Barbie continues to successfully charm the world with her beauty, she teaches us a very important thing- continuous innovation is an essential ingredient for success.

So my girlies, let’s celebrate the existence of Barbie with all zing, the doll who made our childhood so beautiful!
Keep styling and keep looking your best!
Happy Styling!!

Love,
Bhavs

Diary Of A Single Girl

 Wednesday, 2nd March, 2022 It's already the third month of an eventful year! While entering 2022 with a sleepy head at home I didn't have the slightest idea what beautiful surprises were coming up, or well, the wonderful opportunities that I would be creating for myself. Today, as I sit under the morning sunshine on a cold sunny day in the Himalayas, the last sixty days of my life bring a feeling of exhilaration- the bliss of learning and rising higher. The tides of life can be much to handle at times. But it's supposed to be that way, else how would we find a better version of ourselves? In Search Of.... We're all searching for something- from materialistic possessions to true love and above all, a happy life. Well for me, my short-term goals were clear- beaches and snow....lolz...yes the travel bug. And why did I want these? Because they were a part of my ultimate goal of having a beautiful collection of memories of life. Goa February is a month that makes most singl

I Am Precious

Image
“It’s always the right time to start being yourself…for in the chaotic journey of life, there is nothing more Precious than your real Essence” These are the days of podcasts and audio-visual content. But I find it liberating to write/ type down my thoughts. Hence this blog will always be special to me…after all, it was a Birthday Gift to myself in 2016! Talking about gifts, the idea of self-gifting always clicks to me. I see it as an essential routine of self-love and self-care, leading me to perceive myself as a special person (without being a narcissist). Losing Oneself in the Journey We all play different roles at each stage of life. Starting off with being a good kid, an ideal student, the perfect partner, the right employee or a successful entrepreneur, the best parent….too many expectations! Most of these roles involve other people and groups. And while these different set-ups can nurture absolutely well, being a part of groups can be taxing on one’s real self. The other

Rejected!

 So, Rejected? And... Feeling dejected? I  don't like these words but this rhyme fits well. Welcome to the world of non-acceptance! Rejections, no matter how insignificant, are usually painful. When I brought up this topic with my Instafam through individual discussions, there was one common thing for most: Rejection= Mind Chaos Hey wait, did you just remember one of your rejection moments? Please hold on, I gotta share some of my experiences first :) So here are some selected episodes from my kitty of rejections (all are real) I was once rejected at a matrimonial meet because I had not applied makeup. The incident dates back to my pre-blogging days. It was a formal family meeting with a fair-skinned Sindhi lawyer from Mumbai. And while his aunt enjoyed intellectual discussions with me, the guy and his mom were super disappointed with my simple salwar suit and 'no make-up' face. A short conversation with the Gucci guy reminded me of the character Suhaas from the movie 3 idi
