Holi Outfits That Are Festive, Practical and Stylish

Every year, the same conversation happens. What do you wear to Holi? And every year, the answer is delivered with a dismissive wave: something old, something you do not mind ruining. We are here to respectfully, but firmly, disagree. The idea that practicality and style must part ways the moment colour enters the picture is a fashion fallacy, and one that deserves to be retired permanently. Holi is a festival of extraordinary visual energy, and what you wear into that landscape is, whether you acknowledge it or not, a statement. The silhouette, the fabric, the thought behind the outfit, all of it matters. You can be the person who shows up in a considered, festive, and genuinely stylish look and still have gulal in places you will be discovering for days. This is your guide to doing exactl...

The Holi Beauty Edit: Protecting Your Skin, Hair and Nails Before and After the Celebrations

There is something deliriously joyful about Holi, the kind of joy that exists only when colour is flying through the air and inhibition has been thoroughly abandoned. But let us be honest with ourselves, because a good beauty editor always is: those vivid gulals and water balloons are not exactly gentle on the skin, hair, and nails you have spent the better part of the year carefully tending to. Synthetic pigments, prolonged sun exposure, and hours of water play are a potent cocktail, and your complexion will remember every minute of it if you go in unprotected. This is not a case for skipping the celebrations. This is a case for being devastatingly prepared for them. Consider this your definitive pre- and post-Holi beauty bible, because looking after yourself is, and has always been, the ...

The Seasonless Wardrobe: Investment Pieces Brides Are Buying Now

The wedding itself lasts a day. The wardrobe built around it, if chosen well, can last a lifetime. There is a quiet shift happening in the way brides are approaching their trousseau. Less about accumulating and more about choosing deliberately, the focus has moved toward pieces that carry weight beyond the wedding season — garments and accessories that transition from celebration to everyday elegance without losing their relevance. Call it the seasonless wardrobe: a considered edit of investment pieces that earn their place not just in the moment, but in the years that follow. India’s textile and craft traditions make this kind of dressing remarkably possible. A hand-woven Benarasi silk, a finely embroidered shawl, a pair of uncut diamond earrings, a leather bag finished by hand — th...

Romantic hotels in India for a pre-wedding escape 

There is something about the days just before a wedding that deserve their own kind of celebration. The fittings are done, the invitations have gone out, and for a brief window of time, it is just the two of you — before the festivities begin and the world rushes in. A pre-wedding escape is not simply a holiday. It is a pause, an exhale, a chance to be present with each other before one of the biggest moments of your lives. India, for all its scale and complexity, knows how to hold romance beautifully. From palaces that have sheltered centuries of love stories to quiet hillside retreats where the only sound is the wind through the trees, the country offers backdrops that feel almost cinematic.

Gifts for the Year Ahead: Thoughtful New Year Presents That Set the Tone for What’s Next

The New Year has a way of inviting reflection and intention. Beyond celebration, it marks a quiet pause where we look ahead and decide how we want the months to unfold. New Year gifting, then, becomes less about festivity and more about meaning. It is no longer about extravagant gestures, but about thoughtful presents that support new beginnings, healthier routines, shared goals, and everyday joy. From wellness and beauty investments to home upgrades, travel companions, and experiences meant to be lived rather than stored away, New Year gifts are increasingly chosen with purpose. These are presents that say “I see where you’re headed” rather than “I remembered the date”. In many ways, they become gentle reminders of intention, progress, and care as the year begins. Maje R...
