Looking for some desi outfit inspo?

Hey you!
This year Diwali and Halloween are on the same day, soooooooā¦. you can already guess how busy the upcoming week will be! š
But first, letās talk beauty faves! Iāve been loving Victoria Beckhamās new fragrance, plus some other skin care essentials. Then, Iām rounding up my go-to brands for Diwali shopping (because we need to look fab for those gatherings, right?). Whether youāre getting glam or just trying to find new traditional clothes, I think youāll really like these brands.
Enjoy! š„°
Beauty Faves

Iāve been using Eucerinās boost serum nonstop, and itās been my fave for a while now! Itās packed with hyaluronic acid, which seriously boosts hydration and keeps my skin feeling plump all day. Definitely a staple in my daily routine! š
Next time youāre at Target make sure to look for the Eucerinās hydration line!
Hydration: Provides deep moisture to keep skin hydrated all day.
Lightweight Formula: Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.
Key Ingredients: Formulated to boost hydration and improve skin texture.

I recently attended an incredible event hosted by Anastasia Beverly Hills and Victoria Beckham Beauty, to celebrate 5 years of Victoria Beckhamās beauty line. I was so grateful to be invitedāitās always amazing to see women succeeding in business and creating products that are truly standout.
One of the highlights for me was getting to experience Victoriaās latest fragrance, San Ysidro Drive.
Itās this beautiful blend of warm woods, spices, and soft florals that makes it feel so luxurious, yet totally wearable for any occasion. What I love most is how itās clean and high-quality, like all of Victoriaās products. If youāre unsure which fragrance to pick, Iād suggest trying the Fragrance Discovery Set, it has all the scents from her collection, perfect for experimenting and finding your favorite! āļø
š Let The Festivities Begin š
THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN!! š¤©
I LOVE Diwali āØ, thereās nothing quite like it! Itās such a special timeā all about family, culture, and just something so magical about lighting diyas with my loved ones!
Usually this time is always packed with fun parties and events, and last week was no different! I was invited to the āAll That Glitters Diwali Ballā hosted by the fabulous Anjula Acharia, and others that are making such a big impact on the South Asian coomunity! ā¤ļø It was honestly the best time!
Iāve been dressing up all week in the most gorgeous traditional dresses and lehengas! Since this season is all about finding those perfect festive looks, Iāve got some great brands and stores for you to check out if youāre looking to add beautiful pieces to your wardrobe or wish list!
This stunning silver lehenga, designed by Seema Gujral, makes a bold statement while still being fun and festive! She is known for her gorgeous sequin work, and this lehenga doesnāt disappointāitās the kind of outfit that twirls with you and lights up the room!
And the fitted blouse with the matching dupatta?? šššš
I just LOVE this silhouette, perfect for weddings or big Diwali parties where you want to shine! ā¬ļø
ā¬ļø Designed by Ridhi Mehra, this stunning red floral saree brings a fresh, modern vibe to a traditional silhouette. Ridhi is known for her contemporary touches, and this rich red color is perfect for the festive season. I love the delicate floral design, kind of gives it that feminine, elegant feel. Also, this is a pre-draped and pleated saree, so it's super quick and easy to put on (if you've worn sarees before, you know how time-consuming it can be! š). Pair it with statement accessories for that perfect Diwali look!
Designed by Dolly J, I got this beautiful gown from Shop Kynah. Itās the perfect blend of elegance and contemporary style. The color has this soft lavender tone, combined with intricate beadwork, which really brings a touch of glamour. The standout feature is the gorgeous dupatta that just effortlessly flows behind you. Felt like a queen in this! š
AND I HAVE TO PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON THIS!
Mattel just debuted their first Diwali Barbie! š ā¤ļø
Itās been designed by renowned Indian fashion designer, Anita Dongre. This is a huge moment for representation, seeing our culture beautifully reflected in something as iconic as Barbie. The doll is dressed in a stunning traditional outfit, capturing the essence of Diwali, and itās just a proud moment to see our traditions highlighted on such a global scale. Itās more than a doll⦠itās a celebration of us!
