The beauty of life is as much in missing the people and moments as in meeting them….. The reason why we enjoy Durga Pujo so much … is because Ma comes ONCE a year and makes us wait for her …. miss her… till it's time for her to revisit again. To the ones who are seeing this, and to all those who have always stood there with me by my side….. I send you all the love and best wishes … may you achieve all that you desire and love yourself a bit more each day… everyday. Shubho Bijoya 🙏🏽 P.S – Dhoti = Opara Benarasi And thank you @sharmisthaguhachowdhury for the wonderful pendant. Lots of love to you ❤️ . . . . . . #fashionblogger #blogger #indianfashionblogger #blogger #malemodel #ethnic #traditional #classy #gentleman #highfashion #bohochic #beard #ootdwithnkhl #instagood #instalike #man #boy #spring #summer #red #yellow #embroidery #streetfashion #love #vogue #stylish #styleblogger #doubletap #followme

This place gets a full 5 stars for convenience and range. The store houses numerous brands and the prices can dip as low as INR 499 and go as high as INR 6,000 depending on the brands you are after. From casual outfits {for the less fussy festive dresser} to funky and quirky options, the curation of the best of brands will give you a wide variety under one roof.

Want to go traditional this season? Byloom has the most sophisticated, classy kurtas and quirky printed shirts for reasonable prices. Check out this taxi printed shirt I picked up from there and styled to create this fun outfit!

My Pro Tip: Go ahead and pick up their fabrics which you can use as a shawl to style any outfit.

What I wore at the KOLKATA FASHION WALK PART 2 organised by @theswisslaundry_drycleaners and @tribonista in association with @pentwister . Super happy and thrilled to have won a @pranay_baidya For being the 'Best Dressed' 😍😍😍 Theme was – streetstyle with a hint of Calcutta. So I went full on '70s authentic Kolkata streetstyle. 😀 The day was super fun comprising a stunning treasure hunt where Kolkata saw us fashion bloggers running across the city in heels, sarees, dhotis through muck, rain, drenched streets, JUST to find the correct store. Madness it was! Will be looking forward to the other seasons as well. 😎 . . . . . . #fashionblogger #blogger #indianfashionblogger #blogger #malemodel #ethnic #traditional #classy #gentleman #highfashion #bohochic #beard #igers #instagood #instalike #man #boy #spring #summer #red #black #handbag #streetfashion #gorgeous #vogue #stylish #styleblogger #doubletap #followme

Picking up the perfect accessories for an outfit can be a pain, so online stores would be your best bet. The Pataaka store has the most quirky collection of bowties {think cartoon and newspaper printed}. A little on the steep side, the bowties start at INR 2,000 but are well worth a festive splurge. The Bro Code and Koovs are also my wingmen whenever new stuff is needed for my closet.

You’ve probably seen this store above Café Drifter but the MG Road collection has better a better range. Pick up exquisite one-of-a-kind fabrics from here which you can transform into unique outfits.

 

Tried this retro look for the first time.

Looking to get your clothes customised? This tailor will do it for you {and if you haggle with him, he’ll even get it done under 24 hours!}. If you’re going from Gariahat towards Jadavpur University, you’ll find Ali’s tailor shop on the right if AMRI is on your left. The landmark is there is a Kohinoor House right opposite the shop.

He can even customise embroidery onto your fabrics and design an outfit just by looking at a picture! A week is more than enough time to get a fabulous outfit stitched from him so you can still make it in time for Diwali.
