Ready for some fashion magic?

It's my birthday today, and contrary to most women I don't mind telling you my age: I'm 39. Yup, 39 years old and proud of it! I like to joke that the secret to feeling young is having a husband who's 25 years older - no matter how large my under-eye bags are, he will always look older than me 😏 

I love getting older. The first three decades of my life were filled with angst, uncertainty, self-loathing and doubt, and leaving that baggage behind is a gift I don't take for granted. Inner peace for a few silver hairs and wrinkles? I'll take it!

Another big difference I've noticed over the last few years is my approach to shopping. Once upon a time I was a passionate shopper, and I couldn't imagine anything better than hitting the mall and browsing for hours, trying on countless clothes, and taking a few new pieces home after every shopping trip. In those days I was all about quantity over quality, because I wanted to participate in at least a few trends every season. 

These days I avoid malls like the plague. Everything I used to like about it - the hustle, the people, the sheer abundance of shops and clothes - is now something I actively dislike. But does that mean I stopped liking clothes? Hell no! 

That's where online shopping comes in. The ease of shopping from bed in your pj's is one of life's great pleasures! One of my favourite online shops is eShakti. I've bought several dresses from them (and was gifted this beautiful hummingbird dress), and I love their whimsical designs, the quality, and best of all? That you can customize the style of their clothes. You decide what neckline you want, the style of the sleeves, and the length of the skirt. After all, who knows better what suits you best than you?

 Perfect for the holiday season and 40% off!

While eShakti has always offered that service, it now has a brand-new feature: eShakti FX. It lets you play around with the customizations right before your eyes, which is strangely addictive!

I made a short video to demonstrate this new feature:

Fun, right?

I played around with a couple other dresses:

Monkey-print dress (yes, you read that right it has monkeys on it!), 40% off

And my absolute fave:

Plaid shirt-dress, 40% off

That red plaid dress has my name all over it, doesn't it? It's red, it's plaid, it's tied at the waist - it's perfection!

Take a look at eShakti's website - they have a great sale going on, and new customers get 40% off!

Have a great day, it's almost the weekend!
