I didn’t “wake up to 100,000 followers” this morning. So that’s NOT my caption 🥳😂 It has taken me a longggg time to get here…5 years, 4688 posts and hours that I can’t quantify. So here’s my acceptance speech because God knows where life will take me in the next 5 years and whether this platform will even exist 😅 #longcaptionalert Starting off by thanking each one of you that followed me back in 2014. It started off as a means to showcase my favourite products from the store but quickly snowballed into a platform with MY voice on decor and life. Despite the initial wrong angles, bad filters and product posts that didn’t work…I learnt along the way. Thank you to every @aa.living.store client that personally came over to my desk back in the day to say a kind word about the store’s Instagram page – appreciating that I didn’t take on an agency to manage my brand but made it personal instead. Somewhere over the course of time I realised I didn’t have to hide behind my brand handle but could be my own person and start writing my own blog, with my own thoughts – because YOU guys actually enjoyed it! Thank you to all my friends, family and photographers that helped me write captions, pose like a girl, style a frame, hold props…or even just listen to me bitch about the algorithm…you know who you are! @deeep_24 you need a special mention…you are everything! 🤗 And ofcourse my new insta fam – I value each and every one of you and I promise you the best is yet to come! 😘 #happytears #100000followers #100kfinally #aaliving #mumbai #aalivingblogs #100kAALfamily

The Art of Balancing:

She is now a hands-on mother with two kids and of course her venture. She has her days when it is tiring and she has work on her mind and a baby in her hind or vice versa. However, she makes time for both and we are cheers for women like these.

Points to Note:

She believes in mixing colours, one at a time. She wants to decorate the whole house with bits and pieces from around the world but has a special corner where she just chills! She wants to bring out an optimal mix of creativity and quality and cracking the retail market.

She gets it from:

She is a wanderlust and gets her love from around the world. Her vacations have had a huge impact on her taste and sense of styling. Her house in Mumbai which is all decked up in eggshell white is inspired by her recent holiday from Greece.
