Beach and Bachelorette

September 20, 2013

Fashion, Travel

When you get the good news that you’re invited for a Bachelorette Party in Goa what happens? You get incessantly excited. You start packing the perfect bag (in your mind) to ensure the Goa getaway is gangbusters. You think of sarongs, flip flops, hats, summer shorts, sunglasses (atleast one for every day), tees, summer dresses and a maxi, of course. Until it hits you, you haven’t got a maxi.

A comfortable maxi is ultimate summer holiday staple that I had been looking for since ages with no avail. I ransacked nearly every store but couldn’t find the right one.

With the most awaited party of the year a ‘Bachelorette’ in Goa, I just had to find one. How could I go for a beach holiday and not have a maxi? Since I couldn’t find anything in Mumbai or Delhi, I decided to try my luck online and found just the piece I was looking for at Loft, USA. I’ve always loved their collection and with their petite options things just got easier. I ordered this online, and it was fricking awesome that I got it delivered from USA to Mumbai in flat 5 days. Unbelievale, isn’t it?

And here I am all head over heels, jumping with joy, running around on the beaches of Goa wearing my favourite piece of clothing…

Fahrenheit Hotel, Goa

We stayed at this small boutique hotel called Fahrenheit in Goa and must say it was a great place. Indulgence suite that I stayed in was pure indulgence (picture above and below). With an amazing bedroom, with red decor, a spacious dressing room, jacuzzi and rain shower cabinet the room was a pure delight. To top that off, the hotel offered amazing service and the location was bang on (beach facing and 5 minutes drive to main Baga beach, North Goa). Last time I was in Goa, it was also in off-season and just loved it {Off Season Goa, Goa – A Holiday With Myself}.

Vegan and Jain food in Budapest? Everyone told me I’ll have a hard time. But not only did I fall in love with the city for its beauty and old world charm, ruin bars, fab party scene and breathtaking sunset views of Danube river, but also amazing #veganfood.

Here are my fav vegan restaurants in Budapest that are also Jain friendly:
🌱 @tranzitbyflow - the chef custom made Jain meals for us and everything was yum
🌱 @napfenyes.etterem - their Somali dumplings are out of the world, it’s vanilla carob sponge cake with whipped cream. You can’t leave the city without trying them (I went every day just for this to this restaurant)
🌱 @vegazzihun - vegan pizzeria in Budapest 🥰
🌱 @theplanteen - pancakes & desserts
🌱 @ganeshavegaetelbar - vegan Indian food
🌱 @vegangardenbudapest - not very Jain friendly though
🌱 @szabad_vegan_bistro - call them if u want jain options

Behind the glamour, the lights, and the runway, the fashion industry hides a story few dare to tell:

💔 Women and children exploited in unsafe factories
💔 Labor underpaid, overworked, unseen
💔 Luxury made at the cost of ethics and dignity
💔 Animals harmed for fleeting trends

It’s modern-day colonization disguised as style

💚🖤 Every outfit has a story. And not all stories are worth wearing.

Swipe through to uncover the hidden truths behind the clothes you love — and ask yourself: does my fashion choice support harm, or hope?

Choose better, wear consciously. ✨
