It comes as no surprise that food and drinks are generally at the top of every Bangalorean’s mind -  especially on a Sunday. Bangalore is after all the pub capital of the country! About six months after we did our first Woopathon with the fabulous style divas of the city, Sunday saw the second edition kick-off with the top food connoisseurs coming together for a delightfully sunny afternoon of food, fun and frolic. 

Chef Madhu Menon: Prost to that!

The Venue

There was a treasure trove of delicious dishes being served along with some freshly brewed beer at the Prost Brewpub in Koramangala - the venue of Wooplr’s Foodie Woopathon.

Guests & Proceedings

The guests started arriving a li’l before noon. After the introductions, they were served cocktails (made from fresh fruit!) along with Hors d’oeuvre. The connoisseurs were then taken for a tour of the micro-brewery by Prost’s German brewmasters - Jonas& Oliver. This was naturally followed by a beer tasting session.

We must say that the talking point however towards the end of the event was the Wooplr goodie bag that was filled with products from small businesses. In fact, it became quite popular we even wrote a post on it - What was in that Goodie Bag?.

Thank You

The ‘Wonder Woople’ series features users who are passionate about fashion or food or both. They are the people who spot new, interesting  things and love self-expression. They are our tastemakers, influencers and curators. 

Freelance photographer Desha Gehi is this week’s Wonder Woople. She’s quite chirpy, loves to travel, and is one of our first users from Mumbai! We caught up with her during her vacations for a quick chat on the things she loves about her city, her choices in food and shopping amongst other things. Read on…

Tell us a bit about yourself

I currently work at Time Out Mumbai and love every bit of my gorgeous city. I’m also a freelance photographer by profession and a foodie by choice. I love to capture life through my lens. Cupcakes, music and books are my mood-changers. I love to travel and explore different cultures. Little things in life mean a lot to me. 

Which are your favourite brands?

My favorite brands would be Zara, Mac, HnM, Bath & Body Works, The Body Shop, Vero Moda and many more. If a girl ever answer’s this question, the list will surely be never-ending.

What is the craziest thing you have purchased?

The craziest thing I’ve ever purchased is a blonde wig. It’s golden with colorful streaks and crazy beyond words.

If you could splurge on one thing, what would it be?

I would splurge on cupcakes, like always :) 

Which song is on loop on your iPod right now?

Wonderwall by Oasis

Your favourite shopping destination and your fav getaway?

My favorite shopping destination would be New York City. I could live there forever and just shop, shop and shop till I drop. My favorite getaway would be Dubai as it is a lively place with different cultures.

Street-shopping or the shopping malls?

A bit of both. I shop for anything I see and love, be it from the malls or the streets. 

Who would you like to see most on Wooplr?

I would like to see Le 15, Pooja Dhingra’s famous dessert store on Wooplr. The desserts are delicious especially the macrons. I would also like to see The Home Label, Suzzane Roshan’s Interior brand. Her brand stocks very interesting interior aesthetics.

Here are Desha’s Top Recommendations on Wooplr.

We do not know if it’s the Mad Men effect or the recent news about the Indian Postal Service closing down the 160-year old telegram service. Either way, we have seen a spurt of recent recommendations on the retro theme.

That tells us something.

Those retro shopping recommendations are indeed timeless! Now to welcome back the glorious decades of the past, we are featuring the top recommendations on the retro theme over the last year.

Vintage Dress from Forever 21, Indiranagar, Bangalore

Yimle Jamir says,

The only rule is don’t be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.

Vintage bag & jewelry from VJ Home, Jodhpur

Ruhi Sheikh (Republic of Chic) says,

VJHOME is like rifling through someone’s wardrobe in their lovely apartment except from 5 decades ago. It offers a selection of handpicked antique textiles reconstructed into modern dresses, jutis, antique jewellery, bags repurposed from vintage fabrics, scarves and skirts.

Retro Shoes from Mall of Asia, Pasay city, Philippines

Allen George says,

On him: Onitsuka Tiger, Japan’s oldest sneaker brand. Considered a retro classic by the fashion fraternity. On her: Charles & Keith Retro Heels

Retro Dress from Busy Bee, Koregaon Park, Pune

Nikita Singh says,

Don’t wanna ‘follow’ trends? Go Retro!

Suede Retro Sneakers from Adidas Originals, Lower Parel, Mumbai

Allen George says,

Increase your street cred with this all time favorite Gazelle design by Adidas

High Waist Jeggings from Tibetan Market, Brigade road, Bangalore

Ritu Arya says,

Black and High Waisted, couldn’t ask for more! Super Hot! :D

Vintage Style Cushions from Coppy Cat

Pranita Mehta says,

Saw these simply elegant vintage and love inspired cushions at Coppy Cat. Many even have the newsprint text and prints. Just lovely.

Vintage Chain thrifted from Koramangala V block, Bangalore

Ann Loraine says,

This was one of my most surprising and best bargains upto date. A vintage Marilyn Monroe chain for just rupees 100. And well it was not bought from any of those high end boutiques but from from a street seller. Poor versions of Audrey Hepburn,Sophia Loren were also sold by him. But this chain had an extremely clear picture of the 60’s pin up doll Marilyn Monroe. So all the lover of vintage and junk jewellery make sure you do not miss any of those charming bazaar shops selling junk, you never know what you would end up discovering.

Retro Gramaphone / FM radio from Fancy Chilli (by Artisans crafteria) at HSR Layout, Bangalore

Mah Liqa says,

THE most Unique retro Gramophone Ever!! Love everything about it, Especially the Chessboard look!!

Heart Shaped Sunglasses thrifted from Baga, Goa

Rhea Gupte (FUSS) says,

These are adorable

We guess this stroll down memory lane brought back nostalgia and we hope it transfers to a fun shopping spree now.

With the rain and the chill seeping into the Bangalore city bones, there’s nothing to warm your soul like good ol’ coffee, peanut butter chocolate crunch cookies and a good book with a little bling to spruce up the air. And of course, that perfect warm poncho to curl up in, on the couch. This week’s recommendations are a take on earth tones, chocolate and some glitz in the monsoons.

Speaking of weather, Bangalore seems to beg for warmth and a little sweet tooth satiation, which is being catered to at its very own Cupcake Festival, currently being held at the Tuck Shop in Koramangala. Head over, try the vast array of choices and do recommend your favorites!

Also, the Moustache bug has bitten us bad and we are now open to having you send us a picture of yourself sporting a moustache (real, fake, a hair moustache or maybe even a milk moustache) with a quote on what you think of the moustache. Wooplr elves are working hard to ensure that the ensuing goodie bags are full and appealing. Take a look at the blog later this week for more details on how to get these goodie bags.

The ‘Wonder Woople’ series features users who are passionate about fashion or food or both. They are the people who spot new, interesting  things and love self-expression. They are our taste makers, influencers and curators.

We have seen the women walk the walk on Wooplr. But it really blows our mind when a man pulls it off with style. Add a self assured personality with brutal honesty and you have before you, good ol’ Allen Claudius George. His specialty? Burping out the English alphabet. Working a day job with TCS and DJ’ing by night, Allen is a fashion enthusiast and find his release by writing about it. He prefers practicality in fashion and not fads or trends.He is an obsessive fitness enthusiast but has now resigned himself to the fact that he will never have single digit BMI; also claims to be a lot more stable about his shopping sprees now. We, though, will let you be the judge on that.

Being extremely materialistic, he loves his possessions a lot more than he loves people and he’s proud of it. He now tries to let go of the attachment by donating last season clothes & shoes! Also money plays a critical role for him as he strongly believe one can either earn money or one can earn love, respect and relationships. Ask him where he stands and he goes with the latter because they outnumber the former. He is a sucker for sales and uses retail therapy a lot more than he uses Bible to uplift his mood.

In Conversation…

If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?

What do you mean “if"???!!!

If you could splurge on one thing, what would it be?

Would have to be watches. I absolutely love watches. And shoes. So perhaps a Rolex Submariner or Deepsea Explorer II. Big fan of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak OffShore as well. Some day. Some day.

Which song is on loop on your iPod right now?

It’s this track I absolutely love, obviously. A remix by Bro Safari called Scumbag. It features Notorious B.I.G so it’s even better!

Your favourite shopping destinations?

I would have to say Mumbai for its ease, Manila for its variety and FX friendly economy (can you beat it, a Hoegaarden pint in an upscale bar costs INR 150), Dubai for the discounts and Europe for brands like H&M and that enable you to stay updated with the season’s trends.

If you were given a choice between going Street shopping vs. Shopping at malls, which one would you pick?

I think I am more of a boutique person? Individual stores is something I would pick over going to a mall or shopping by the street. Malls just save you the travel time between stores, I guess. Unless its food, then I prefer the street and yes, bring on the Pani Puri y’all!!

What are the craziest things you have ever purchased or had?

The craziest thing I have ever purchased and not “had" would have to be the Balut, during my pseudo vacation to Manila. Its this Filipino aphrodisiacal delicacy. It’s another thing that I couldn’t bring myself to eat it.

Who would you like to see most on Wooplr?

I guess it would have to be John Abraham. You know, people appreciate him for his physique but that man has some serious style. Whenever he covers those humungous muscles of his, its with some fine threads. And I am sure he will have plenty of Woople worthy stuff to show us from all the exotic locales he shoots at.

If we took a peek in to your refrigerator, what would we find?

2 cartons of Limited Edition Red Bull, cans of Pepsi/Tonic Water, a crate of Root Beer, pints ranging from Budweiser to Corona, Sausages and Salami, Eggs, my after shaves and perfumes (don’t ask me why), peanut butter, assorted cherry colas, a couple of bars of Lindt Dark Chocolate, Guava fruit juice, 2 bottles of home made wine (my mom is an ace vintner), Malibu liqueur, sauces and butter and my hair gel (it’s organic and needs refrigeration). I never cook, so don’t expect groceries in there, folks. My guests starve to death or drink and get merry. I forgot, ice cubes and water, of course.

Apple pie or Jalebi?

Can I not have both? If I “have" to choose, I will go with apple pie. Warm. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top…

Beer or…?

There can be no “OR" here. Its always “AND"… Beer for summer, Rum for winter, Whiskey for warm days, Sangria and port wine for a quick fix ;) And oh yes, I absolutely love Cider…

Tell us about your favourite pair of shoes and where you got them.

I love everything retro; guess I am at that phase in my life. I got this basic pair of Onitsuka Tiger 66 Mexico in Yellow and Black from my shopping spree in Philippines. It has been something I’ve had my eyes on for a few years but never managed to get my hands on. Which is why I treasure them a lot. And of course, I have these hand painted Converse with Batman on it. Which I have NEVER worn!

Favourite cuisine?

It has got to be Thai. Their cuisine is mind blowing. Weirdly enough, I haven’t gone to Thailand ever. Hmmm, must make it by end of this year.

A book or television?

Neither. A dog.

What shopping mantra/tips would you like to share with others?

If you find a good deal, don’t wait for it to get better. Just snag it. But if the purchase value is substantially high, I would recommend you sleep over it. Regardless of how far you had to travel. When you wake up, if you still feel you need it, just go and buy it and you will never regret it. Either ways.

If you could go out shopping with anyone for a day who would it be and why?

This is a hard one to crack. I don’t really know because I prefer shopping by myself. I pretty much know what I should/shouldn’t pick from all those disastrous shopping experiences and lessons learnt over many a wasted rupees. Same goes for eating. I guess I would love doing both with someone who loves doing it themselves. Unless, of course, it’s someone who will pay for everything that I pick or eat. In which case, that would have to be my girl friend. I live off her.

What are your guilty pleasures?

Can I say Porn? I guess not. So let me say the second best thing. Eating. Till I cannot breathe. I am a glutton and my food intake is monitored most of the time. People hide from family and smoke, I eat. Binge!

What would you love to find in your Christmas stocking?

I have been eying SUVs since my city car got busted by a pothole. Or that KTM Duke 390 that I rode and loved. Unless Santa can leave me a fit body with a BMI of 9%? Heck, I will even settle for Gisele Bündchen, Miranda Kerr or Mila Kunis. If I cannot have them all, that is.

What is the shopaholic’s spot you frequent most?

Weird thing but I would have to say, a coffee shop. In any shopping district. You will see tonnes of people with their shopping bags, so you know what store to visit before you begin. Haha.. I don’t really frequent a spot, I just spread out my buys from wherever I go.

Everyone has favourite seasons during the year. For some, it’s about the shopping and the fabulous dresses. For a few others, their love for the season is due to the crispness of the air and the way the sun shines. For us, different seasons are awesome purely because of the variety in food and the joy of a new palate, each time.

Infact, Ramadan always brings back memories of a lot of good food. The best part? Ramadan comes along every year, with the promise of fasting and absolution during the day and sinful, complete gluttony every single night. For all you folks out there who think one loses weight during the holy month of Ramadan, think again.

Staying away from food for those nerve wracking fourteen hours just makes one a lot more obsessive about exactly what to eat once you’re done with the fast. This Ramadan, Wooplr saw an interesting number of recommendations from the Frazer Town food stalls. And being an extremely foodie friendly office, we went ahead  to explore the delicacies on offer.

We did come back to office. Full to bursting. Barely able to drag ourselves through the door, replete and unable to look food in the face again. The Frazer Town food stalls are everything that Indian Muslim cuisine promises to be. Rich meats, sumptous desserts and spices which will throw all your senses into overdrive. Add to that, the feverish throng of people and one cannot stop their hands from picking up one of these delicacies.

Here are a few of our favorites from the spread and the recommendations we’ve recieved on Wooplr.

Malai Kheer

Lemon Chicken

Custard Pudding

Mouth watering barely describes it. Soft, rich and extremely easy on your palate. The pudding is rich but not overpowering.

Chicken Stick

Chicken Chargha

Chicken Shaslik

Super tender and served with a sauce to die for.

Mutton Sheekh Kebab

Patthar ka Goshth

Phirni

Shahi Tukde

Rich, creamy and well….. very rich.

Chicken Aloo Kebab

Balushahi

Roasted Quail (Teetar)

Another must-have from our side. Do try it. The quail is very well cooked and the spicy coating and cricp skin will leave you wanting more.

Kheema Anda Roti

Chicken Tikka

Patthar Kebab

Jumbo Prawns

Pista House Haleem and Biryani

You absolutely ‘cannot’ miss this! The haleem is smooth and creamy made with extremely tender mutton and lots of cream. A light squeeze of lemon on it, and the dish will play havoc with your tastebuds.

Sooji ka Halwa

Chicken Lollipos

Chicken Egg Kebab

'Salman Khan Hamour' Fish

Kheeme ke Samose

Cheesecakes in various flavours

Mutton Roast

Our verdict: Must try everything! Wooplr recommends: The Spicy Sweet crab and the smoked Camel meat Sheekh Kebabs.

Do make sure that trip to Frazer town takes place. And if not, well there’s always next year. Ramadan Kareem!

Woop!

There are blogs. And then you have a blog which screams personality. Warmth. Self confidence and passion. And they’re chatty. Chatty enough to remind you of conversations over tea, scones and green grasses. And they do the high tea with panache because they are neck deep in fashion and style. Meet Tripti and Ashima of The Fashion Co.They are animal lovers, design enthusiasts, novice photographers, handicraft addicts and shoe hoarders. And if they really, really like you, they promise to give you their last bite of dessert.

Quick questions with Tripti from The Fashion Co. …

What are the craziest things you have ever purchased or had?

Well, truth be told I haven’t eaten anything crazy. I once has the option of eating kangaroo meat, but luckily enough I backed out! The craziest thing would probably be a pizza dosa. Sounds gross but it’ s actually delicious! But when it comes to fashion though, 6 years ago, there was this beautiful Maang tikka that I had to purchase for a Bharatnatyam performance. I fell in love with it and wore it every chance I got. I even wore it for an Arabian nights themed prom in school.

The other crazy things that I have purchased include accessories inspired by animals. I own a necklace with giraffe pendant and a clutch with a snake as a clasp!

If you could splurge on one thing, what would it be?

An Ellie Saab Couture Gown or a JJ Valaya lehenga.

Which song is on loop on your iPod right now?

Daylight by Maroon 5

Young and beautiful by Lana Del Ray

Favourite shopping destination?

Delhi. It’s a great mix of high couture and street markets.

…and favourite getaway?

Anywhere with beautiful beaches. We love both Goa and Alibaug.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?

Magic! Who wouldn’t want magic in their life!

If we took a peek in to your refrigerator, what would we find?

An assortment of cheese and dessert.

Apple pie or Jalebi?

Hot crispy jalebi please! The punjabi in us refuses to let us pick apple pie.

Schnappes or Breezer?

Well I don’t drink, so neither!

Shoes or Bags?

Bags. A great tote has been always been a weakness.

Favourite cuisine?

Thai and Italian food. They’re both so yummy. The perfect solution to a bad day!

What shopping mantra/tips would you like to share with others?

Most people find dressing themselves stressful as they aren’t really sure what suits them.Take the time to figure out what your style is. It is better to find a little time experimenting and getting to know what suits you, rather than blindly buying clothes just because they fall in your comfort zone. It’ll be worth the effort when you finally curate a wardrobe full of clothes that are comfortable to wear AND make you look fabulous.

Truth be told it doesn’t really matter where you shop from. We’ve been complimented for a lot of our thrifted buys, with tons of people asking us where we bought them from. What does matter though is the fit. If it doesn’t fit you or isn’t in your size, put it down and walk away.

You may think it will be worth it because it’s a great deal or because it’s on sale, but it won’t! You’ll never get down to actually getting it altered. It’s a big waste of effort and you’ll rather spend the time doing something more enjoyable.

And most importantly, have fun! Fashion isn’t meant to be serious, it’s a tool to express your personality. If you feel like wearing something, just wear it!  Don’t care about what the world thinks!

Lastly, attitude is more important than any label. If you don’t have the confidence to carry it off, even the world’s most expensive outfit won’t look good on you.

What are your guilty pleasures?

A new pair of shoes, freshly baked Indigo Deli cookies, spending time playing with my dog, a new sketchbook , chaat - especially pani puri, pretty stationary and hanging out with my loved ones.

Who would you like to see most on Wooplr?

Sonam Kapoor - It would be very interesting to see her unique fashion picks.

Top Recommendations by Tripti and Ashima from The Fashion Co.

The bright colors and flattering silhouette make this the perfect dress for the monsoons.

Electric Blue Wedges from The Shoe Garage, Shahpur, New Delhi

Because it brightens up our everyday outfits with a great pop of color. At the same time, its classy enough to wear to work too!

Wooplr has had a very interesting week. We all seem to have become cake connoisseurs what with the crazy number of birthdays we’ve had recently. Add to that the festive season and different food that we all have to sample, and yes, the Wooplr team is on a huge sugar rush!

This weekend (being considerably long) seems like the perfect opportunity to get your shopaholic off from his/her chaise lounge for a rigorous work out to get the food guilt off your system (atleast for us). We’d say you go out, get some amazing food, shop a little, shop a lot and before you think twice about why you did shop this much, just go ahead and recommend your favorites on wooplr. It does make the experience of shopping a lot more purposeful when you’re giving direction to a new shopaholic, doesn’t it?

We have a few fun developments and features in store for you. Wooplr is undergoing some extremely awesome developments and enhancements. Keep following and keep recommending.

Woop!

We have a new joinee today at Wooplr. His skillsets involve taking three hour naps and walking across one’s keyboard. He sounds like a dream and is extremely amicable (after the first few sniffs and hisses, of course). Meet Kimchi, the new man at the Wooplr office.

He decided to stroll into our pet friendly office today, like a boss, and has found his spot in every person’s lap, effectively ensuring that said person has no option but to type away and work on their system else risk the wrath of his teensie, super sharp claws.

You’ve already met Chintu Dog, Wooplr,s guardian and knight in fluffy armour. He is also the first pet of our extremely pet friendly office. We’d love it if you’d drop by the office and say hi  to Kimchi and Chintu. Looks like the cat n dog tale at Wooplr has begun!

A trend-setter, a statement; the moustache has been a revolutionary in its own right. You ask why? We say it’s because people just can’t seem to keep their hands of them, whether on the face of the man or around the neck as a personal statement of style. The moustache has hit it big time.

Today the ultra male moustache is undergoing a transformation. No longer does it remain the ultimate symbol of masculinity, as it was deemed earlier. Today the moustache is something women sport and proudly associate themselves with. 

As an ode to our gorgeous womenfolk wooples, Wooplr launches The Moustache Campaign: a week long campaign where we provide the moustache with an equal ground to grow. We believe in breaking the gender stereotype that says the moustache is only associated with males and aim to provide you with the woman’s take on the moustache.

Take part

Be a part of the change Wooplr aims to bring about:

• Send us a snap of yourself sporting a moustache.
• Send us a quote that tells us exactly what makes the moustache quirk for you before August 22nd.

We will make a photo quote out of it representing exactly what the moustache means to you.

Say yes to the moustache, and not just on men.

Woop!

• What’s in a moustache

Welcome to the 'Stache Boulevard: a place where women have cited their honest and extremely frank (blunt?) thoughts regarding the moustache in recent time.

The Moustache Week has been a revelation for Wooplr. The moosh is no longer an ultra male accessory, it has become an opinion, a style statement that defines all genders subjectively. Infact most women seem to prefer the moustache off their men.

So while all you men out there give a thought to what your new alpha symbol would be, here’s what the women have to say about the moustache. 

We give you, The Moustache Boulevard:

Namitha Gautham says:

Disha Bhandari says:

Rhea Gupte says:

Anupriya DG says:

Renisha says:

Naina Ruhail says:

Swati Dandotiya says:

Aswira Siraj says:

Karishma Singh says:

Roxanne D’Souza says:

Kirtana John says:

Pallavi Singh says:

Sheela & Jane Sequeira say:

Amrita Rana says:

Sindhu Nadig says:

Simran Sandhu says:

Ritu Arya says:

Vidhi Gandhi says:

Larissa D’Sa says:

Ketki Herlekar says:

Gitanjali Warrier says:

An interesting happening through the campaign has been a recurring question from the officials. Through the campaign time and again, Wooplr women have been asked: why are women sporting the moosh when it is something absolutely male?

The Moustache Campaign aims to make the moustache a gender neutral accessory for everyone, be it on their face or their clothes. And to say the same we have our official Moochie Walk today. Join us at 4 p.m. on Church Street at Coconut Grove and sport the moosh to make your say. Here’s to making the moosh a gender neutral symbol that everybody can sport with style

Woop!
