rajasthani dolls jaipur 9to9 shopee handmade unbreakable

Who says only kids play with dolls? 😉 We, at The Style Symphony believe that dolls are the expressions of a woman’s intrinsic desire to look and feel beautiful, being loved and adored. We have done a post on Russian Matryoshka dolls in the past, and today, we bring across India’s very own art of ‘costume dolls’. These handmade dolls are quite rare to find these days and are the revival of the dying art that represents the diversity of India. The huge collection of handmade dolls is created in various costumes depicting different parts of India.  These beautiful Indian dolls are hand crafted to portray the culture and traditions of the country. Their clay headed fabric sculpture is stuffed with cotton wool without using POP (Plaster of Paris) or any kind of synthetic, thereby making them eco-friendly. Why Costume Dolls? Normally, these dolls represent a specific character or a resident of a specific region that’s…

After my #HexaExperience in Hyderabad in association with Indiblogger powered by Tata Motors, here I received another amazing opportunity by the Indi team to attend ‘Tata Hexa Experience Center’ in [highlight]Gurugram (EO Huda Gurgaon II, Sector 29)[/highlight] organized between 25-27th Nov. Tata is beating all blues with its upcoming crossover, the oh-so-classy lifestyle vehicle– The Beast, Tata Hexa.

stress binging workplace

Pick-Me-Ups at Work don’t pick you up when you are in Stress! Cups of hot tea several times a or coffee, day amidst your hectic executive hours, a still drink after a grueling day at work, a smoke whenever you can at your workplace, candy or chocolate in between those busy hours— temptations too tough to resist for the workaholics. Habits as natural as breathing need to change now! Stop and think before you reach for those cups to bust your stress. How stress affects you? Even mild stress affects our body systems— the brain is the first organ to change. Normally, vital chemicals carry messages between brain cells. ‘Happy messengers’ (serotonin, noradrenalin, and dopamine) carry happy, upbeat messages while ‘Sad messengers’ carry unhappy messages. Usually, our nerve centers receive a balanced input from both types of messengers and life runs evenly. However, during stress, the happy messengers fail to…

selfie tricks with coolpad note 5

In my last post about Coolpad Note 5 launch, I celebrated Dussehra by clicking numerous pictures with the device— the beast, Coolpad Note 5. It’s indeed a shutterbug’s delight when it comes to its camera which is 13 MP at the rear end and 8 MP from the front. For a selfie-o-holic fashionista like me, it’s surely a game-changing device I have ever come across! For a girl who always loves herself posing before the camera, a beast like Coolpad Note 5 is deemed to make her selfie-obsessed (the one who starts clicking from brushing her teeth in the morning till going to bed at night).

coolpad note 5

Festive season has just arrived with Dussehra and festivity is infused in the air. Navratri celebrations are just over a couple of days back and the ambiance is still filled with religious glimpses and pious offerings.  When everyone was busy in their Durga Pandal hopping, I didn’t want to lag behind either. The best thing about these celebrations is experiencing the grandeur and beauty of these pandals and yes, like every other shutterbug, I too wished to capture the splendor. But who wants to carry that huge, bulky camera to those crowded places. All I did is that I played super cool with my newest Coolpad device ‘Coolpad Note 5’. Coolpad Note 5, the beast is recently launched in India on [highlight]30th Sept 2016[/highlight]. It’s a made-in-India phone, keeping in mind the requirement and convenience of Indian consumer. As called the beast, it best suits to our needs when it…

triveni sentorini navratri

Navratri is celebrated for the victory of good over evil. Come Navratri and the air is filled with fun, frenzy and festive fervor.

navratri back tattoo

Longing to have that smooth, sculpted back before the festivities hit town? Come Navratri, and it’s time to don your sensual backless ‘cholis’ and strappy sizzlers to show off your oh-so-cool tattoos! But before you bare that back, make sure it has head-turning shine and smoothness. Here are few secrets we share at The Style Symphony to make you shine this Navratri! 🙂 Go the natural way! Your back is probably the most neglected part of your body because other people usually never see it and most of the time, neither do you. So you make little effort to take care of it. However, today women are more conscious about the way they dress and of the current fashion trends because of which they treat their body well. Earlier, it was only about taking care of those parts that were visible, but today, it’s about making sure that you look…

Malabar Gold & Diamonds

‘Smile is a woman’s best adornment, next comes jewellery.’— if you are a woman, you can even miss smiling for a while, but you cannot ever say no to jewellery. Women and jewellery are inseparable. The glimmer of gold and the shine of diamonds are simply irresistible for God’s very special creation called women, whom He created in His leisure to incarnate beauty. For elderly women, it’s told that ‘Jewellery takes people’s mind off your wrinkles’, and for young girls they say, “A luxurious piece of jewellery transforms a tiny caterpillar into a well-grown butterfly”. Gold and diamonds are two such substances that add to a woman’s grace, charm and beauty, and make her shine through all the darkness of style aisles. Today, The Style Symphony is going to talk about a noted jewellery brand— Malabar Gold & Diamonds, that need no introduction when it comes to craft exquisite gold…

dhoni ki no.1 yaari

We were Montessori friends! From our broken milk teeth as toddlers to that first pimple in the teenage; from the first trophy in the spelling contest to that hiding of our report cards from parents for those falling grades, we shared all those priceless moments together. We shared all those moments together, sweet or sour, happiness or sorrow. Those were the moments stolen from my true and worth cherishing friendship with my childhood friends. We hardly meet today being apart since years and staying miles away. But whenever we meet, those memorable moments come alive before us. We discuss that cheap yet lip-smacking chat from our college canteen and wonder how that taste is impossible to find even in 5-star hotels. That is called the gist of Asli Yaari we are going to discuss today. And you can find its spirit alive in a short film by M.S. Dhoni. It’s…

Maitreni Mishra dual drape Triveni

For this week’s #dare2drape challenge, I have explored a new way of wearing sarees. Yes sarees! A couple of sarees together as one outfit! This drape comprises of 2 different sarees in altogether different textures and fabrics, but having similar hues, so that together they could create the impact of one color-coordinated silhouette. For this dual drape challenge, I have used a turquoise blue plain Kathan silk saree along with another linen saree from Triveni Ethnics that has a checkered border and pallu in the shades of turquoise and navy. This border and pallu compliment the turq plain saree and its black and grey skirt gives the whole look a nice contrast. The first saree is draped in a normal ulta palla drape and the second one is draped over it like a seedha palla drape. Step 1: Drape the plain saree in regular ulta palla (nivi style) over any…

perky party wear men style

If style is timeless then men style surely speaks up classic appeal to that unfading fad of fashion. In fact it’s only men style that has survived against the transience of trends or else its women’s fashion that changes with every single blow of breeze. We have seen Al Pachino and Pierce Brosnan wearing the similar tuxedos Leonardo Dicaprio wears today; and facsimiles of Devanand’s killer black suits adding oomph to Shahrukh Khan even today. Does this style quotient makes men style monotonous? No ways! You can sport latest trends in fashion without having to compromise on in-vogue trends. When we talk about men style the first thing that comes to our mind after clothing is a watch. Though men, today, love to be accessorized, yet conventionally and classically— “Watches are the only jewellery men can wear, unless you are Mr. T”— Gordon Bethune. A watch adds that optimum dose…

Filme Fashion logo

“Let me explore the real fashion here, as what I need to be in-trend is, by blindly following trends. But I, rather, want, is to be myself, feel comfortable in what I adorn and let my aura reveal through my personal choice of clothing.” I am a simple dresser, but love the finery of life, all things beautiful around. And I found all what I needed recently, in a store at Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, named Filme Fashion. Filme Fashion is the brainchild of [highlight]Poonam Kumar[/highlight], a promising woman entrepreneur with a distinct vision. Her motto is to bring the finest things of good living made accessible and affordable for common people like us. But for me, Filme Fashion is not at all filmy when it comes to class. I found some really interesting stuff there to suit my taste, age and class. In fact, the store offers something for every…

I was super busy since last few days preparing for Raksha Bandhan celebrations but was superbly anxious as well. This week started with festivities in the air, with Monday, 15th of August being the 70th Independence Day for we, the Indians. But for me, it was a day when I doubled the celebrations by inaugurating my new Coolpad Mega Phone. I enjoyed my freedom from my old phone to the core with my new Coolpad Mega, celebrating the Independence Day in Delhi Malls. But seems, festivities are going to be relished furthermore. When my brother visited me for Raksha Bandhan celebations, I was quite nervous despite all the festive fervor in the air. What troubled me the most was my naughty, snooty, teen bro who is tough to handle and difficult to please. The teen has turned 14, fussy, brand conscious and nagging as well. Still he is my kid…

winged eyeliner

Blake lively, Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, Anne Hathaway and a long list of other celebrities have hooded eyes. Yet they can apply the perfect winger eyeliner. I actually love the one Swift applies and her cat eye makeup is something you’d love to follow. It’s not a tragedy if you are born with hooded eyes and you are not a celebrity. I know you put an effort to apply makeup that doesn’t make you look drowsy. I know it’s hard to apply the proper winged eyeliner. And I know you are determined enough to do anything to look pretty and confident. Today I’ll be teaching you as to how to do the perfect winged eyeliner for hooded eyes! Beginning with the basics, you should figure out if your eyes are hooded or not.  Just look into the mirror and see if your eyelids are neatly covered by skin…
