Invest in versatile festive fashion Give your home a festive makeover Deepavali is about creating a warm, happy and positive atmosphere at home. I love decorating with diyas, glowing lights and grand floral arrangements. I like keeping the traditional essence alive while adding my own touch of elegance and grandeur Invest in beauty and grooming Festive gatherings are a good reason to upgrade your beauty routine. A signature fragrance, quality skincare, makeup essentials or haircare products that suit your needs can be worthwhile additions. If a new smartphone, smartwatch, pair of headphones or home appliance is on your wishlist, festive sales offer an opportunity to compare options and deals. Pick technology that serves a purpose and fits your lifestyle. Explore independent designers, local fashion labels, handmade jewellery, artisanal décor and homegrown beauty brands. Bengaluru has plenty of homegrown labels offering distinctive finds for those looking beyond mainstream shopping.
