Araaish's sale for charity

Picture this: an entire day of shop-till-you-drop fun; from clothes to bags to shoes to belts, and even home accessories. You think that I’m turning into a Material Girl? Wait, let me explain. This buying spree will be completely guilt-free. How, you ask? Well, the money I’ll spend will go directly towards the Save the Children India Foundation, which works for the health and education of underprivileged children. Can you possibly beat that?

The Araaish sale has been put together for the second time by Mana Shetty (yes, Bollywood hero Suniel Shetty’s wife) and her siblings — Isha Mehra and Rahul Kadri. Since I shopped last year too, I can say it’s well worth a day’s spend.

This season’s spring/summer lines, I hear, are all pret. Surily Goel’s designer line is fun, young and uber trendy (the colourful tunics are a must-have this season). And for the first time, Surily has designed for large and extra-large sizes too. While on funky, colourful clothes, Seema Khan’s collection — all bright colours, interesting cuts and intricate embroidery — is super wearable stuff for us Urban Goddesses. And then Wendell Rodricks’ line, featuring his signature style of minimalist chic, is bound to up your closet’s oomph factor.

And then there are the bags. Shaan S Khanna gets them just right — BIG, colourful, and yet oozing with style and super detailing. As are home accessories from Tanya Deol, eclectic and beautifully hand-crafted.

Jewellery, saris, accessories, shoes, furniture — there’s a lot to choose from. Note to self: Stop by the stall displaying accessories and handicrafts made by the children of the NGO itself.
