According to an article published in a leading newspaper daily last year, luxury brands that made exit from India a few years ago are on their way back. A rival of the economy, increasing purchasing power of the people and the FDI impetus has facilitated the growth of the luxury market in various sectors including automobiles, watches, fashion and apparel. The luxury watch market, in particular, is expected to grow by 20% each year, thanks to an upsurge in wearable computing and availability of Smartwatches that has captured the imagination of young buyers.
India’s love for luxury brands has always been there. In the 80’s and 90’s, individuals who returned from abroad or had relatives visiting them flaunted imported goods and items. However, since the economic liberalisation in the nineties and emergence an 'aspiring generation' who does not shy from showing off their newly acquired wealth, the number of 'brand-conscious Indians' is only increasing. But there are some hurdles along the way, wherein many Indians hesitate to indulge in luxury goods as they are traditional twinned to save up for the future, education and marriage children, house etc.
Breaking that barrier has never been easy; however in recent time more and more people are beginning to have an eye for luxury goods and watches, because of change of perception towards life and acceptance of 'occasional indulgence'. One reason for the change is the growth of online retail space. There was a time when people were sceptical of buying goods online, however, this has become a fry-cry now. One of the biggest reasons for this is the attractive sale options that the buyers have online. For example, if you want to purchase Breitling Watches online, the chances of getting one at up to 50% discount or more is quite high. Buyers trust to purchase online that not just offer great discounts but also guarantees the authenticity of the product. However, when in a mood to indulge in an online shopping spree, they can simply browse through genuine and high-quality watch collection at Zimson Watches and other similar retailers.
In addition to that, gone are the days when owing just one watch for the call of the day. Today people want a collection or an assortment of watches with different colours, shapes and brands. Even watchmakers are aware of that and they are showcasing watches in varied design, style and occasion such as casual, business, aviator etc.
While the economies in the west hit rock bottom between the years 2008-2010, countries in the east namely India, China and Russia continued to grow at a soft pace luring international watchmakers to set up shops in these countries. In a decade, India has become a formidable consumer for luxury watches. The roping in of celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan and Virat Kohli to endorse international watch brands like Tag Heuer and Tiscott respectively bears testimony to that fact. Here are some interesting facts about the Indian luxury watch market:
§ It is estimated that the Indian watch market is close to 5,000 crores
§ 20% of that or INR 1,000 crores makes up the luxury segment
§ Swiss are leading the race with 60,000 swiss luxury watches are sold in India each year
§ Premium International brands are at close heels with prices as high as INR 8,000,000
Big brands like Breitling Watches, Rado, Cartier etc. are immensely impressed by India’s preference of luxury brands. However, the market is still at a nascent stage and there is a scope for improvement, which is why several watch companies are also hopeful for a relaxation in customs duty, which will further help them penetrate in the Indian markets.

Fashion, for me is all about comfort and individual preferences coupled with a distinct personality and simplicity. And one place I make sure to be at is the Fashion Week. Year-on-year Lakmé Fashion Week has introduced me to new and exciting talent whilst reiterating the timeless elegance of industry stalwarts.
This year, Lakmé Fashion Week Summer Resort Edition has an electrifying line up of designers showcasing their collections over the next five days beginning with none other than acclaimed fashion and costume designer Manish Malhotra. Manish in association with LYF showcases the Elements collection inspired by the range of LYF smart phones by the same name.
Keeping the ‘Nature’ theme in mind the set that was constructed offsite at Mumbai’s Mehboob Studios like a beautiful forest with a cream-coloured tree right on the ramp and floating birds all across the arena. Soft music coupled with birds chirping took us all to the land of dreams; transporting us instantly into a story book. Amidst the euphoria the show started to highlight embellished gowns, lehengas with trails and structured tops and blouses. Layers of fabulous organza, tussar and crepe in pastel hues of baby pink, powder blue, light green and orange make it perfect for the summer bride and bride maids. The manner in which technology is merged with fashion today the collection is a perfect blend to bring in the amalgamation of rich fabrics, delicate embroidery and flattering silhouettes with #LYFsmartphones to capture the essence of the journey. I am using the LYF handset to match the adrenaline and the fashion rush at #LFW.
My favourite part of the entire collection was the sharp asymmetrical cuts that added a touch of edgy mystic to the collection. As with every collection, there was a capsule for grooms in the Elements collection that perfectly complimented the offering for the summer bride.

Cheering from the front row were Manish’s Bollywood buddies including his muse Kareena Kapoor.
Jacqueline Fernandez walked in one of the season’s best; a shimmery silver evening gown with a sheer pink cape that every bride-to-be will want.
Arjun Kapoor styled by Manish for his movie Ki and Ka, appeared alongside Jacqueline in a dark blue sherwani with a plain silver jacket and a stole.
Speaking about the collection, Manish emphasised that the ‘Elements’ collection brings out the dichotomy of beauty and power present in the four elements – Earth, Water, Wind and Flame; similar to the contrast of confidence and demureness; tradition and glamour of a contemporary bride. And I couldn’t agree more.

I've decided to explore New Orleans on my visit to the USA and have done research on what to do and see. The city, named after the Duke of Orleans, has a strong culture and boasts of a multilingual heritage. If you have no idea where to start, this guide will help you stay near the action.
Harrah’s Casino is the most renowned casino in New Orleans, with its fun and friendly atmosphere, an overwhelming number of table games, slot machines and poker rooms, it offers endless options for visitors to try their luck. The no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em, 7 Card Stud, Pot-Limit Omaha, and the World Series of Poker make the experience extraordinary. Travellers that want to gamble can make arrangements to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn. It's just a stone’s throw away.
The Satchmo SummerFest is celebrated to honour Louis Satchmo Armstrong, the local artist for his efforts in developing the American musical culture. When first organised in 2001 on his 100th anniversary, the fest was a runaway success and hence the organisers continued to celebrate it as a 'mini Jazz-Fest’ every year. Musicians flock the city every year to showcase their talents, while enthusiasts visit to experience the euphoria. Le Richelieu is the option that gives travellers adrenaline.
Do you have a favourite amongst those outlined above? I bet you want to visit them all and make the most of my New Orleans travel guide.

French Quarter
The French Quarter, popularly known as the Vieux Carré, is New Orleans cultural melting point that is located on the Mississippi River. The architecture of the city has a lot of Spanish and French influence coupled with the American taste to bring out the best of both design elements. A lot of locals organise 'Home Tours' so travellers get to witness the intricate designs of the ironwork as well as the comfortable and inviting home entrances. Travellers often take a stroll around Jackson Square, visit St. St. Louis Cathedral, and stay at the Hyatt French Quarter overlooking Bourbon Street in the city.
Mardi Gras
The Mardi Gras, commonly known as the Carnival, is the largest parade in New Orleans that begins on Fat Tuesday. Though it is a free show, the organisation and staging take a lot of effort and time. Locals and people around the world enjoy the parade either by joining the fun or watching it on the television. Tours are created in New Orleans to showcase behind the scene efforts and the thought processes that go into the parades and themes. While choosing accommodations, travellers should consider Bourbon Orleans Hotel as it is at the centre of the action and extremely affordable.

Baby skin is delicate! Your little one once out of the comfort zone of your womb will have that wrinkly skin and a secured layering named vernix that will peel off with time on its own naturally. Every parent wants their baby’s to have flawless, radiating and healthy skin right from their childhood. Sometimes this makes them get into a mad rush of using baby skin products. That’s not altogether unnecessary though! You can always get the best of baby products from some of the leading websites like Firstcry but it’s crucial to use these products wisely. Here are some useful ways to take care of your little one’s skin.
Know that less is more
This is the main mantra of optimum baby skin care! Therefore, curb the insatiable desire to take care of your pretty little angel with too much of baby bubble bath, excess crème massage or oil massage and the like. This would have a boomerang effect and leave your baby’s skin dry making it vulnerable to skin disorders like eczema. Therefore, a simple sponge bath for twice or thrice a week is the best way to have the little one’s skin clean. Water used in moderate amounts to clear the diaper area and the mouth is just perfect!
No excessively scented products to be used in early months
Baby skin isn’t just vulnerable to excess bathing or cleansing products, but also to lotions, crèmes and soaps that are excessively scented. This is because the presence of a heavy fragrance is indicative of increased chemicals which your little during the early months and to some extent the first few growing years is better off without. Scented baby products might look attractive and appealing, but the high chemical content might result in skin rashes, allergy, itching and burning sensations on the baby skin.
Wash baby clothes before the little one wears it
Ensure that the clothes that your little one is wearing have been washed always. This will keep unwanted bacteria and dirt away and thus ensures that your baby has healthy skin.
Replace baby wipes with soft cotton cloth
Though baby wipes seem all attractive and new age, a simple, homely cotton cloth is what actually suits the purpose in the healthiest way. Baby wipes at times tend to be harsh on your baby’s skin. But a cotton cloth has no side effects.
Use the baby power carefully
When you are using the baby power make sure that it’s from a reputed brand and of good quality. Secondly, go carefully with the application so that it doesn’t get to the eyes or nose as that will cause unwanted irritation to your baby.
Select the shampoo wisely
When you start using the baby shampoo make sure that you use one where the lather doesn’t cause irritation even if it passes mildly the eye region while bathing. A good shampoo will be comfortable on the baby scalp.
Following these simple tips, you can take good care of your baby and keep the little one’s skin all healthy.

Panama City, true to its tagline: "Dedicated to Excellence...People Serving People" — is the economic and financial centre of the county. Located in the ‘panhandle’ on St. Andrews Bay in Florida, this service-based city has developed significantly in trade and shipping activities along with a stable and stronghold on the banking, commerce and tourism sectors.

Today I’m introducing you to a great concept; that of a customised bag full of the best beauty and make-up products, you can order once a month. The best part of this bag is that it caters to both men and women as per a customised subscription, that is arrived at through a questionnaire. Early this month when an email arrived in my inbox with the details of the ‘More Power To You’ March Fab Bag I just couldn’t resist and went about requesting one, finally after months of wanting to. Browsing through all the plans I settled for a 3-month subscription and waited patiently still for the bag to arrive.
My first thought about the silver pouch was that it was a perfect to carry around as an evening bag, glittering in the darkness and adequate to hold a few essentials. The products I received as per my subscription were a mix of skincare, haircare and make-up products, below are the details:
Full Size: INR 1670 for 12ml

Nykaa Nail Enamel Strawberries n CreamThe Nykaa Pastel Nail Enamel Collection is a superior nail lacquer with light reflecting pigments that deliver intense, long lasting color. Perfect for times when one want super shiny nails that last longer than regular polishes.

Out of the four products I received I was on the verge of purchasing two.. the Votre Face Serum and the Nykaa Nail Polish.

The Elements range is something I’ve been using for a while (read my review here) and an very happy with, so the travel sizes go straight to my travel vanity.

Whenever I think about casinos, the only place that comes to mind is Las Vegas. However, a quick internet search springs up loads of fun places, especially in the USA state of Nevada. Beyond the well-known Sin City are some jewels hidden in the state like Reno, Henderson, Stateline, and Laughlin. With most tourists choosing Las Vegas, the spa resorts and casino hotels in the other cities remain unexplored.
Laughlin, set along the Colorado River, is one such destination that will offer you unparalleled experiences with its late night gambling adventures. The city is best known for lazy mornings, relaxing afternoons, and fun evenings. Aquarius Casino Resort and Tropicana Laughlin are the most popular casino resorts in the city; however, some other resorts that offer equally amazing experiences and thrill the adventurous traveller.

The Colorado Belle Hotel and Casino Resort has most of the games that you'd want to play. With a 65,000 square foot casino floor, it offers unmatched slot machines, table games, and live action poker. The casino features a coin-less slot floor with the latest titles to test your luck.
The Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino Resort is touted as a 24-hour gaming casino console that has all casino essentials and a video poker for live action gaming. A humongous casino spread over 80,000 square feet casino floor has a special non-smoking section for slot and pit players.
The Edgewater Resort Hotel and Casino is a newly remodelled 26-story Sedona Tower that has breathtaking views of the city. On the east of the tower is the casino. Though a relatively smaller floor of 40,000 square feet, the gaming excitement is one of the best in the city.
The Avi Resort and Casino situated on Lake Mojave is a private beach and boat hotel that boasts of a casino with daily promotions and tournaments. The casino has EZ Pay (ticket-in, ticket-out) machines with penny slots that allow play on all the multi-line slots.
The Harrah's Laughlin Hotel and Casino Resort is by far the most popular casino resort in Laughlin that offers stunning views of the picturesque Colorado River and is the only world-class riverfront resort destination in Laughlin. Apart from the regular gambling options, the Harrah also offers the Race and Sports Book for sports betting. The Jewel on the Colorado has over 900 games in all denominations from penny to dollar machines. The 55,000 square feet casino offers 24 hours of gambling for a fun and friendly experience.
Whichever of these resort destinations you choose, your stay will be one of the best you’ve ever experienced. If you cannot decide on one, then go hotel hopping! So go ahead, book your trip for the best deals and start packing for your trip now.

It’s the dreaded Monday and all you gorgeous people must be having the Monday blues. But don’t worry, just read on to the second edition of the Trend Report for 2016.
Today's trend is yet again a reoccurrence of what was in vogue in the 70’s, and it had kind of shown glimpses late year and now established itself this year. Fashionistas just can’t get enough of the fringe this year. Personally, I think fringe adds a lot of character to any outfit. For the uninitiated, you can go subtle with a fringe purse or fringe footwear. Howeve,r if you are the one who loves to experiment with new trends then you must try a fringe top or even a fringe cape. Especially those who love tassels will love fringe.
Bowknot Tassels Fashionable Shoulder Bag
Browsing the internet I found some amazing pieces on FashionMia that I could easily style to bring the fringe trend to live. I’ve picked a fun cape, a fun rendition of an office dress, a gorgeous top and a few other pieces.
What do you think about the fringe trend making a comeback? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
