Diary of a Personal Shopper-My New Haircut!

Okay, so i got a new haircut yesterday.Well not so new,because as a rule I always go for layering,I am not very  comfortable experimenting with my hair. Although I love colouring but when its comes to a haircut I really become very nervous.I start shifting in my chair.My heartbeat becomes erratic.I almost don't want to take a haircut.So as I waited with a bated breadth for the stylist I reminisice

   about those days when i used to work with Hyatt Regency,New Delhi.
Not very fond memories. Interacted with some of the meanest and the most manipulative people in the business.But I learnt a lot from this experience and decided to quit hotel Industry forever!! Back in those days I was very naive and used to take people on their face values.But this experience really toughened me up and I am thankful for that

Diary of a Personal Shopper-How the Manager of Louis Vuitton Misbehaved with me!

This happened while i was working as a Store Manager for a brand in Emporio Mall,Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.We all know that Louis Vuitton is an iconic luxury Brand.But what we don’t know is how rude and arrogant their staff is.They are extremely haughty and full of attitude.I had the misfortune of learning about it first hand.Their manager “Tanya Sabharwal” visited my store and introduced herself to me.
I welcomed her and introduced myself as the manager. I tried to have a friendly conversation since we were both managers.But she gave me a formidable look and informed me that she was interested in buying a few products from us. Since what she wanted to buy was not available in my store at that point in time, i told her that i will get them for her from our other store.She agreed and we settled on a time by when the products would be made available to her.

And happiness is all that matters right! I enjoy shopping but sometimes end up buying clothes that i have never worn and has been sitting in my closet forever!!

Store at Seven Style Mile!!!

Just the other day i visited this awesome store "Evoluzione" located at Seven Style Mile ,Mehrauli, New Delhi.The best part about the location is the breath taking view of the legendary Qutab Minar.I have been wanting to visit the store for quite some time and see for myself how it finally turned out.The reason for my Inquisitiveness is that a year ago I got the opportunity to meet the chennai based couple Tina and Atul Malhotra behind this beautiful store regarding a work opportunity.And I have to tell you that I have never met such awesome people in the business world.I was flown to chennai to meet the lady in question, I loved her on first sight,she was extremely polite,humble and down to earth.She was bubbling with enthusiasm regarding their latest project and explained to me in great detail about their expectation from this high end store.The vibe of the whole store was very positive and happy.The staff at chennai store loves her totally and she treats them like a family member and is always concerned about their welfare.She really took care of me,made me feel at home and that made a lasting Impression on me that anyone who works with her is really really lucky.Not once did I feel alone and strange in an alien city.I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tina and Atul Malhotra for their hospitality and generosity.About the store,its beautiful,the location is exquisite and visual merchandising is very creative.I loved the whole feel of the store.Awesome collection!!! Here are some of the pictures of this gorgeous store and the credit of the photos goes to Evoluzione.

For the love of shoes!!!

What would you do if you instantly fell in love with a pair of shoes that are one size bigger on you? well, if you are shoe crazy like me then you buy them and try to make them your size.I saw these beauties displayed at Charles and Keith,Ambience mall, Gurgaon and instantly i was a goner.But imagine my disappointment when i got to know that my size was not available.With a heavy heart i left the store and came back home.For next two days i was haunted by the memory of these amazing pumps.I saw them everywhere!!!.So i finally decided that i had to buy them come what may.So Inspite of the sales consultant gaping at me with astonishment, i bought them and this is how i made them my size.................I bought these neon green coloured insole(I know they are a bit ugly looking but i had no other option!!) and once i inserted them in my pumps they fitted me like a glove and you just cannot imagine my happiness!! I was thrilled to bits.My day was made.I know it sounds crazy but what can i say, all for the love of shoes!!

How to become a Personal Shopper!!!

This one is for my lovely reader Shreya, who recently mailed me as  she is interested to become a personal shopper and wants to know what does it take to become one.Well,shreya i chose this exciting profession because i am extremely passionate about shopping and fashion is my first love.I can travel far and wide,miles and miles just for shopping.I have been to all the so called "Shady" places whether its dharavi,chor bazaar,bhendi bazaar,mangaldas market,crawford market,chandni chowk,sadar bazaar and so on.I have been warned not venture into these areas because "supposedly" they are not safe but my love for shoppnig is so powerful and strong that i can not resist checking them out.I have to tell you though that i have really enjoyed my shopping escapades to these areas!!

Shreya,shopping is my passion and helping people shop is my mission.I truly enjoy taking people out on a personalised shopping trip,helping them buy the right product at the right price from the right place.And at the end of the session when i see their faces brimming with happiness,confidence and love for themselves, that is my high point, this is what makes me really really happy!!!

Shopping can be very tiresome and especially taking someone else out for shopping can be an extremely difficult task because everyone has their preconcieved notions, so you have to be extremely polite,calm and patient to make your client understand your point of view.I have had some very demanding clients who can really take you over the edge, will question your judgement at every step of the way,will go into a defensive mode if your try to break into their preconcieved notions.But then there are clients who are really open minded and want to discover themselves and accept new experiences willingly.

So if like me shopping is your passion and helping people shop is your calling in life and gives you extreme happiness then you have all the right ingredients to be a Personal Shopper!!!
