Stepping into its humungous interiors is an invitation to get lost metaphorically, as you tend to dive into one outlet after another. A few days ago even though I knew I was bound to return when my kids visited the nest during their looming-large holidays I trooped out and found it infused in the spirit and the colours of the festive season. Excited chatter filled the air as countless people found their way to their favourite outlets, leading me to wonder yet again how wonderful retail therapy truly is for one s soul! More so in Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla, whose central location in Mumbai makes it easily accessible for residents from different parts of the city. Knowing that Gen Next would want to explore this new arrival, my feet led me to the newly minted H&M store there. Other recent attractions that grabbed my eye were the spaces of global players like Cole Haan, Johnston & Murphy, and Heatwave. I was glad I had my walking shoes on as I strolled leisurely through its expanse making mental notes of what my young adults would like. It is the many brands like H&M, Diesel, Red Fleece Brooks Brothers and more that make Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla even more attractive to style-wise shoppers. Interestingly, apart from the window dressing that changes with every new collection, the mall seems to exude a subtly different feel at intervals. Keeping in mind the fact that families with members of different ages spend hours in its welcoming ambience, it offers comfortable seating options on every floor, in strategic locations. What you seek may not just be a fantastic buy, but could also be some great entertainment. Take your pick from a host of movies or let your kids spend time at the gaming zone. Hours will pass like fleeting seconds! And if your palate craves fulfilment, you will be spoilt for choice. The plethora of eateries here will satisfy the foodie in you completely. The season of celebration beckons. It is time to step out and fix a date with this mall to add something special to the months ahead.

4 FIRST PERSON BLOGGER S DAY OUT Digital spaces have changed the world and our lifestyle. Getting everything at your doorstep with the click of a button is extremely convenient, but nothing beats the pleasure of stepping out to shop, says SANTOSHI SHETTY PHOTOGRAPHS BY SPARSH BATRA One of the biggest perks of being a blogger is that I don t have to feel too guilty about shopping as it is an integral part of my work life. Today is also one of those many days when I ve decided to pamper myself by letting the shopaholic in me take over. What is the list I have created in my mind for the day? Well, as a basicwear enthusiast, my life is an ongoing hunt to find simple pieces which can be worn in multiple ways. But, no more do we only think of that simple roundneck pack-of-three T-shirts when we think basic. For you can get them in so many fresh styles, variety of colours and with a number of embellishments. So, here I am at Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla, walking towards H&M, because nothing could be better than starting your shopping spree at the city s newest fashion haunt. Bodysuits are my current obsession, but as soon as I enter the store I get distracted by a bomber jacket. These are fast gaining in popularity and I find it difficult to keep my hands off these offerings. The jackets are no longer made only in leather or thick cumbersome fabrics, so it is possible for people in cities like Mumbai (with a tropical climate) to wear them. I just love this one blush pink jacket which is made from a sleek fabric that lends a completely different look to this style. H&M sure does have a fresh and young collection, ranging from dresses and active-wear to accessories and inner-wear. A self-confessed fitness freak, I m immediately drawn towards the active-wear collection on display and pick up some quirky pieces. Today these styles are not confined to when you re working out; you can rock the scene in these any time of the day. I then find myself drawn to the many slogan tees that they have on offer. High-street brands like Zara, Steve Madden, Diesel, Tommy Hilfiger and Aldo are among those that I have in mind for today s day at the mall. The amazing collection of boots at Zara makes me go weak in the knees. Diesel has the coolest range of sunglasses, and, since my dilemma the bold white or of choosing either quirky denim ones remains unresolved, I treat myself to both! Finally, amidst all the splurging and pampering, I stop to sip on a cup of coffee at my all-time favourite cafe Starbucks. My latte in tow, I walk towards Only, being totally in awe of the Mickey Mouse collection. From printed tees to fancy tracks, this collection has something for every fan of the Disney favourite. These pieces perfectly capture the original charm and wonder of the iconic character, while adding style to your wardrobe. 2 OCTOBER 2016 VERVE VERVEMAGAZINE.IN

6 LOCATION COURTESY: ONLY I love the dungarees and other utility wear. The brand s Worker Girl collection is an amalgamation of workwear-inspired fashion interspersed with street-wear. I am extremely fond of styles that are edgy, young and fun and I leave the store feeling satisfied with all that I found. I guess it s time to move on to some shoe shopping, and Steve Madden has an irresistible selection. I get attracted to a pair of tan wedges (something I have been keeping an eye out for) as they go with everything, and instantly decide to grab them. I then go over to their selection of bags and look closely at a 4 OCTOBER 2016 VERVE VERVEMAGAZINE.IN

7 gorgeously crafted number. Shopping for me never ends at clothes and shoes how can you forget make-up? The MAC Cosmetics store has been my go-to destination for make-up essentials for a while now and I am absolutely crushing on their matte lip shades. This is a brand I have grown to trust. So I treat myself to some exciting products. With the amount of make-up we use on a daily basis, one cannot afford to ignore their skincare regime for deep nourishment. Innisfree, another fairly new brand at the mall, is one that I buy from often. Since it s the only outlet in Mumbai, I too have an excuse to make frequent stopovers at Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla. I walk into the store and am guided by a kind attendant who helps me select products meant for my skin type. To conclude my day, which has turned out to be rather busy, I decide to relax and have a fine meal at Craft Deli Bistro Bar. The beautiful ambience, cosy space and widespread menu at this deli and bistro draw my attention. As an architect, good food is usually not the only thing that appeals to me. The space too needs to be equally pleasing to my eyes. Just before leaving I visit Dublin Square a space that I often come to for fun activities like Zumba and music gigs. It is amazing how mall culture has evolved and is not only confined to shopping but encompasses a range of other activities as well. One can literally spend hours at the mall without getting bored and yet keep coming back, like Oliver Twist, for more. Mumbai-based Santoshi Shetty, founder of The Styledge, is a lifestyle and fashion blogger. The erstwhile architecture student s personal style has been influenced by her love for design.

18 GROOMING BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL Step out and shine. Aparrna Gupta shows you how to look your radiant best, whether at Diwali parties or wedding soirees Festivals are a few of the rare instances where you can throw caution to the wind and embrace glitter, shimmer and bold colours with child-like abandon. And the one cardinal rule which always works during traditional dos? A glowing complexion. It is important to remember that the skin responds better to a regular routine than bursts of sporadic pampering on occasions. So if your beauty essentials include a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser, sunscreen and night cream, you are on the right track. THE BODY SHOP SKIN DEFENCE MULTI- PROTECTION ESSENCE SPF 50 A study conducted by the brand has shown that skin ages 10 per cent faster in women living in cities than those in the countryside.

From sheer champagne and opaque copper shimmer, to gold and bronze tones...these are making an impact, while being versatile enough to work for day or night and also complement any ensemble.
