Save the date: The F.A.T. Bazaar is here!

So for all those who have been in the midst of incessant festivities, and haven't had a minute to swoop into some habitual shopping and fun, here's some good news. The creative minds behind the F.A.T. Bazaar (short for the Finders And Takers Bazaar) are going to create a hoopla with all that they have to offer. 

For those who are wondering, the F.A.T. Bazaar was started with an aim to bring together young artists and designers whose work was not commercially available in stores or malls. With the aim of bringing avante-garde products to the customer's eye, they froze on the idea of taking these designers to all day dining restaurants over a long weekend to display their products.

  

With as ingenious a concept as this, the F.A.T Bazaar has always added more depth to their bazaars through additional attractions; in the form of stand-up comedy gigs, tea tasting rituals and so on. All in all, it's fun, food and entertainment all under one roof. 

A a colorful mix of designers will be putting up their creations for sale. 

Among these brands is E.Z.R.A., a Mumbai based brand that recreates contemporary fashion with their concepts and design. Visit them here.

Lively Wood is another brand that strives to be unconventional and brings altogether a world of immaculate design.

Another such unconventionally creative brand, Udd, creates beautiful fabrics. Udd is one of the participating designers, who work to encourage folk-tribal art, which is then transformed into beautiful fabrics. Visit them here.

Various other brands such as Bechain Nagri, Funk for Hire and the very popular Bliss among many other amazing eye-popping brands will be participating together at the F.A.T. Bazaar.

For this bazaar, they will display an eclectic mix of designers from Mumbai, Pune and Goa. Also with this bazaar, they are giving back to society in the form of a collaboration with Teach For India. They are helping them raise funds for their project School of Little Designers, which aims to bring design and art into the classroom and inspire young minds.

Venue : Malaka Spice, Koregaon Park, Pune

October 5th, 6th and 7th

Open from : 11.30 a.m. to 11.30 p.m.

The F.A.T. Bazaar was started by a young entrepreneur Mamta Gala. Her own interest in finding art and taking it motivated her to create a medium that would help others to find art made by young entrepreneurs.

To know more about the F.A.T Bazaar and the designers that will make it a firework, visit their Facebook page here. 

So will I see you there? :)

Grande Roue

Recently, i visited this inconspicuous little fair held in a region of Pune; the venue rather surprised me. Anyhow, curious, i decided "let's!"

Little stalls were dancing with emerging lights, green, red and yellow. Stall vendors had something special to offer, little knick-knacks from whatever lands they came from.

Those glass bead earrings were tempting little devils. They costed only a mere 15 inr. Yes, pretty things indeed come in small packages.

The stall vendors were more than excited to let me go clickety-click at their stalls. Sweet! No? :)

Bought this lime green-blood red necklace at one of the stalls. I did not have even the slightest idea that it would cost me a donut. @ 60 inr.

As if the ride didn't look scary enough, the Ferris wheel had no safety locks! Now that's what we call an adventure ride.

My camera wasn't too happy with the fair and refused to cooperate. So the next picture i could click was after i got back to repair my moody camera. 

Here, Mr. Pigeon, relishing the rain.

Statement Earrings : Perk them up!

Statement everything these days has such pampering attention, it's not even funny. One piece of a distinctly palatable ring, or an audacious necklace, or even the new kid on the block, those unbeatable statement earrings. They are enough to make or break an outfit.

I'm not very much into earrings, howsoever. So i decided to test them on me by doing this easy peasy DIY.

I used:

These vintage earrings are over six years old. I bought them from Hong Kong Lane, Pune when i was once a earring enthusiast. And I hardly wore them.

In contradiction to nail varnishes, I chose to use oil paints in contrasting colors. Nail varnishes come off  easily with a single teensy-weensy scratch. Even if you're planning to use your OPI colors. At least with some one like me, who's always up to something, nail varnishes might not be the best idea.

Moreover, oil paints give a smoother finish, last longer obviously and are super cheap. Those little old tin boxes you see cost me about 30 INR and they refuse to get over despite my dangerously staggering number of DIY attempts. Also, i'm not very clean with those tins.

The result:

Did this inspire your DIY cells?

Btw, hello to the balmy weather! I was so over the prickly summer.
