Accessorizing in Noida

It’s one of those rare moments that happen in a girl’s life. I realize that I may, just may, have enough clothes for the season! But, hmmm, I’m thinking there’s something missing. So last weekend, I headed out on Mission Accessories. And now that the upscale Great India Place is in the neighbourhood, the trendy Noida gal doesn’t need to hare off to Delhi and Gurgaon to get her add-ons.

My ‘mission’ kicked off from a revamped-last-month “only-bead” accessory store and some other old favorites:

De lemon: This cute little store is all about beads. From earrings, anklets, bracelets, necklaces and bead strings to mobile covers and bags, you can just bead it! Don’t miss the D-I-Y kits — a bunch of assorted beads that you can string together as you like.
Shop for: Day wear, vacation jewellery.

Tana Bana Muah: Strange name, sure, but they have some great stuff. Blingy bags, sparkly belts, sleek clutches beady neckpieces and bracelets. With a lot of satin, for the luxe look. Watch out for their cool footwear — I bought my gladiator sandals a year before they became the rage!
Shop for: Day wear, brunch-with-the-girls gear.

GFO: Standout factor at Girl Forever: bling! Stock up on sparkly ballerinas, bags and belts, as well as the swimwear and colourful bead necklaces, if you’re planning a beach vacay.
Shop for: Smart casuals, look-at-me moments.

Kazo: Kazo’s disc-like decor — complete with strobe lights — sets the stage for the perfect night out. What’s to want? Denim, linen, lace, lycra. Halters, shirts, bottoms, camisoles. Jewellery, shades, boots, belts, caps, hats. Sigh, what’s not to want? Load up on sexy apparel and some stunning, stand-apart jewellery.
Shop for: Pub crawls, club evenings.
