VR is celebrating its First Birthday this month and everyone is invited!

And i get to document the whole birthday bash and be a part of the celebrations :)

These are some of the images from the May 30 to June 1st weekend Birthday Bash celebrations at VR.

And they have activities planned over the whole month starting the 12th of June. From flee market to aero modeling exhibition, from photography exhibition to story reading sessions there is going to be unlimited energy and fun at VR this month. For the full schedule keep an eye on their Social Media channels (Follow their Facebook Page for all the updates). Something i am really looking forward to is the Vintage Camera Exhibition that is scheduled for June 27th to June 29th. VR is really going to be the best hangout destination this month. And if you are there and happen to see me documenting all the fun and frolic do drop by to say hello! Would love to do a few portraits for my blog readers :)

Check out a few images i made during the Live Band session at VR during the Weekend Birthday Bash celebration -

The Live Band performances were seriously refreshing and a welcome addition to the regular shopping experience at VR. They had this super awesome Style Expo going on too -

Once again proving to be a unique shopping experience for shoppers.

Stay tuned and watch out this space for more. I will be covering activities at VR exclusively and extensively! And do visit the place itself and experience all this fun and frolic first hand. See you around.

Shobhan by Mita just had its first year anniversary on 1st of May '14. And as a part of celebrations, they plan to have a BIG Week-long Exhibhition from 5th of this month! For the same i was called upon by Mita Aunty to document and shoot a small #LookBook for them :) Goes without saying that i could not have been happier doing it!

As you enter Shobhan you can feel that every color here has an energy... every tone has something to say... The space that Shobhan is, is one of its kind in Surat and is a perfect blend of the classic and the new... soft and edgy yet smart!

The collection of drapes too, which is hand picked by Mita Aunty herself were so stunning!

This exclusive clothing line is something you have never seen before... Lucknowi, Jamdhani Dhaka, Matka sarees , Unstitched cotton Pintax kurtas, Stiched full suit designer pieces... you name it and it is there!

I took almost twice the time i should have taken for this shoot... because half the time was spent in checking out the unstitched cotton pintax kurtas section (which i guess is only available here in Surat) :P but they were so awesome, could not help it! Check a few shots i did for the #LookBook -

I am definitely spending more here than what i will be getting for this assainment! Cant wait for the Exhibition to begin on the 5th :)

Also... cant finish this post without writing about Mita Aunty -

Something which i am very sure about is that i will never meet a more modest and humble person. How does she manage time to do so much and do everything she does so immaculately is too something i will never be able to figure out... This store is her mirror image. Every corner, every small art piece, every little detail reflects her. And because of her... this is not just another boutique with clothes... its actually a conversation waiting to happen!
