SUGARED BERRIES ON SUNSHINE

The first rays of sun post a week of torrential rain is deliciousness of another kind.
We spread a bit on sugared berries on that butter and serve it to you.

Rains by no means is a warrant on your fashion status and to uphold that we have 3/4 palazzos:

 Comes in a dizzying number of colors so no excuses there.

















COLLAR POCKET DRESS fit for corporate to brunch needs. Also comes in Black & White lill floral print. I <3 when dresses have hidden pockets in them cauz it just adds so much character to the dress besides the fit,color,flow,design. It's that something extra which i am gluttonous for.











For frolocking about in something floral and flowy new prints in the PRINTED TUBE DRESS
It can be cross backed,worn as a tube dress or the strings can be adjusted atop the shoulders. It's so flowy while maintaining a safe distance from splashing water that everytime i see one it's "time for  a rainwalk"








Now that i have lured you enough with food talk may as well sit at home all comfy and enjoy the benefits of home shopping.(or you can let your boss think yay work while you sneak shop .
To sit at work/home and laze around while someone else does your dirty work (if ever there is such a thing ;) ) while shopping visit www.memore.in 

Will be back tomorrow with some more for your senses.
For now Hugs and Sangrias to kick start the weekend

The Gnawing Pet Worm ~


Have you heard MIKA’s song ‘Blame it on the girls’?(click on it and listen to the start)

We've read ample books and heard the wise ones rant on and on about ‘perspective’ and how to live for self and not just to fit in! In case you are a mojito , allow me to introduce you to lemons.

For the longest time i have been struggling with image issues. Tone down the bohemian, up the formal corporate, too bright, too naked, too covered and the biggest of them all...drum roll please......TOO FAT.
I own a Bohemian fusion clothes store called MEMORE and i see this at play in all shapes and sizes of women. Under all the social stigma’s of fat, jigly arms, big butt, too thin (yes! More girls complain of this that you would believe) there exists a worse kind of gnawing worm ...the one that makes you want to fit in this uber ‘cool’ world and if your funky wardrobe and forced arrogance doesn't make the cut...it slowly pressurizes you into rejection of self. Now, how is one supposed to live in a body that one is disrespecting constantly? So, one begins to fake it more and more to fit in....therefore rejecting it further more and this vicious cycle is so comfortably at play that we don’t even realize the constant stress our body is under.

All of us have our personalized playlist of things we judge ourselves on. DONT target them...they aren't the problem...our conditioning of doing things in a certain specific way is the target. Social Acceptance is one word to describe everything we do. Of course, abandoning all caution to wind and running around naked is not what I am getting at :D There are socially responsible things we adhere to which makes us human (of the current time/space continuum) but one has to draw the line somewhere to remain human and not a puppet to the current era.

I have recently started shedding these self/conditioning created walls as i see them. They say ‘Simplify Simplify Simplify’ ~yeah Mr.They... you forgot to mention how difficult this process to simplify is.

The biggest acceptance is of self, the biggest love is of self and it’s impossible to achieve without being generous to self ~ respecting self.

So the next time you pull yourself down for this projection of image....STOP and be generous to self and tell yourself ‘You are not here ,like this, forever~ so stop ordering the same mojito again & again and try a kamikaze instead.
While we are at it: Definitely try this at home with friends.


Fill a shaker with ice. Add ingredients and shake. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lime wedge.



With lots of love in my heart, a cocktail in my hand and ever decreasing judgement (specially to self)


Peace Out till next bout

POLKA MOTLEY !!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
For kick sake we'll consider that Jan was a beautiful haze and so feb is what marks our calenders start.

Yesterday here at Memore we gave ourselves one of those tasks to complete for a heady rush.
4mtrs of cloth~crazy idea which needed to be weeded out~crafty design itch~1 hour = POLKA MOTLEY DRESS 

  

The beauty is this dress can be worn in 5 different ways. The belt is adjustable for underbust ,waist and hip :D . The shoulder loops can be opened and styled as per mood. Love the fact that no two sides of this dress are same so party away in the breeze and let the flow of the dress guide the next turn on the road.

Breathe in some of 2013 and let the freshness it carries with it, wash over.

Au Revoir

Mannequin Stories.

Hellooooooowwwww
You've felt it too haven't you?
The change in the air towards not just winter but the holidays(snuggling grin)
LOVE IT!!
Its time to start getting the outfits in order to look smashing on that trip.
Start now so that it's not one sudden outbreak of  'i dont have clothes' ~you know what i am speaking of(even then.... dont worry :) we can sort you out in under 1 hr flat )

But before all the panic and planning, the holiday season is about enthusiasm.

The surge of sparkly energy fills us with super enthu quite a few times through the day and when ever that happens.....we HAVE to do something constructive else it gets unevenly restless.
More often than not it's either to create a new design,make a few accessories or paint a bottle lamp but before that happens, the constant feature is to play 'style up the mannequin'. So often passer-by's walk in and ask for what was on the mannequin few days back, so we thought of making "MANNEQUIN STORIES" out of it.



Every design has many stories to tell.The fall of the sillouette, the tuck behind the broach, the casual throw back of a scarf all comes together to complete a thought.The look on a mannequin is not just display but more a mind frame to the flow, that design envoked this day. It discovers a little MORE in ME and hopefully gives you a glimpse of  another 'YOU' too.

Mannequin Stories is discounts on combo's displayed on the mannequin.
The total MRP of all the products on display picked as is... gets you straight 10% off. :D
It's valid on any pic that has a styled mannequin from MEMORE proided it's still available in stock.

To have a look at styles check Album :MEMORE Je T'aime
So here's to planty more stories and many more glimpses of  you and me.

OCTOmbre !!

So far this has been a fantastic month. Backpacking through Chiang Mai region of Thailand, getting blown away with just the sight of Tigers to playing with them, tasting the most delicious road-coffee,loudly enjoying a local Thai film, going from getting ripped off extra cash for a rhom-rhom to paying almost nothing and getting free tuk-tuk rides(yahh) It was one helluva roller-coaster ride. 
While we were Undersea Walking and shopping our heads off, our darling friend Aanchal was holding fort for us back at MEMORE, so a big heartfelt gratitude filled moochie for her.
Normal spasms of post holiday work has hit us so extra creative bursts have filled Memore. You shall witness some of that crazy in pics below starting with Aztec Dresses: 
AZTEC DRESS

NEON POP SLINGS(silicon)
The Neon Pop slings brightened our hearts with such chic that this silicon softness is a must have this casual season.


SOLID GILLETTE












Solid Gillette's are this magical piece of must-have's.  They make a western outfit a lil Indo and a traditional outfit a bit fusion. TIP: team Solid Gillette's with LBD's,short skirts,flowy skirts/gangi's, cigarette pants and almost anything you can dare wear.

SILK LOUNGE DRESS

SOLID CROCHET DRESS








These Solid Dresses have a beautiful flowy fit with delicate back crochet lace which are making them fly off the shelf.Available in 5 different colors,availability till stocks last.
SOLID CONNECT LAMPS

The recycled bottles have finally found their own in various ways.We have named these "SOLID CONNECT" lamps. Special mention for the Fairy Board which serves as a chalk board for messages at sun up and with sundown becomes a fairy lit lamp.

 A little drama only adds shades to life which already exist but we forget to acknowledge regularly. Add a little oomph to your regular candles(and keep them lit even with the fan on) with the Festive Lamp. Use it as a candle shade or fill it with fairy lights and let the lamp do the rest of the magic. Each piece is hand made and is exclusive, pssssssst: the price for especially the Festive Lamp is super love shower to the wallet.
Fairy Chalk Board Lamp


Few Special mentions for SABA BHAT's hand painted lamps too...her intricate mehendi art work on a recycled bottle makes it so quaint and for a perfect gift suitable to any occasion.

With that outburst of a post i bid you goodbye. The gap has been long this autumn but with the promise of a good winter lets start this season,shall we?

MEMORE’s 1st anniversary:



Had the toughest 3 seconds of my life deciding what to call the upcoming event...birthday or anniversary. Technically Memore’s b’day is 18th Dec but yup the Bandra Branch is turning 1, so settled on the recurring annual event, thus anniversary.
Few things to expect us to get serious about are:
1.   Twitter: I have finally stopped being lazy. TO FOLLOW CLICK
2.  My Gym routine: i’ve neatly woven it in my Memore time <wink>
3.  Find a smart/reliable super woman SALES GIRL.
4.  Expansion.





Plans in tow are expansion in the two physical realms, add another area-code this year (hopefully) and few online stores. To make this more tangible and not just jab-gob....i’ve been super busy tiring myself taking shots of most designs for the online store...few pics(to prove the tangible comment mentioned above)
The gorgeous model
 in the pics is my dear friend Aanchal Nandrajog, who has been patient, kind and above all tired and drunk in equal proportions with me. Now that’s true friendship. If/When you bump into her, you must compliment her on her work with Memore...I insist ~I lured her with the promise of  fame(you give her) & kind(i give her)... :D :D~
On more NOW news rather than FUTURE, have introduced new Printed tops. 
Those are selling like freshly baked chocochip nutella cookies on a Sunday morning, so grab your bite before it’s too late. Second design is the re-entry of Printed Frill Dresses which can be cross backed/haltered/strapped.

So feast your eyes and enjoy the fresh showers on your thirsty soul.Yup,even i realised the absence of rain mention in this post....i am saving it for the next one ....Cheerio and High Love

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!!


For as long as i can remember summer vacations were about coming up with something superb creatively because MOTHER’s DAY was coming.......
The to-do list was as follows year after year:
  • hand-made cards with crayons & shoe polish
  • getting my younger brother geared up into making something
  • my father baking a cake from team Family to mommy
  • flowers from the farm


Few things ‘upgraded’, like handmade to Hallmark cards. Then came the rebel age and everything went into a limbo but for the past few months i have been feeling this thawing of the ice-age and as though on cue Mother’s Day has come again.


So this year the thought which i want to share with you is to gift a bit of color, a bit of funk, for a change to the one contender who needs you to do just that. Gift your mum some funk via Memore.
The style has to be hers but a lil’ nip here and tuck there and her casual patiyala kurta feel becomes poppin patiyala with pocket demure..       



 A splash of color and the feel transforms from ethnic to fusion.



 Solid bright Jackets in Quilted reversible prints to add that extra oomph. Tone down that ‘oh! so serious’ dressing.

Reversable Katha Silk Dupatta Stoles

Silk Lounge Dress

Printed Shirt Dress

Sufiyaana



Have a super duper day and as my mum says year after year it’s children who make it a mother’s day else it would be just another day. So go ahead make your Mother’s Day!
