MySmartPrice-An Online Miracle!!! (collaboration)


So, it has been a while and I have been away. Trust me, Out of town without an internet connection is way harder than it sounds. I was visiting my relatives and theirs being a household with no internet user, my social life was paralysed,  leaving me holding onto my cell phone for dear life. Well, now that I am back, I have a surprise for you. We, at Lace & brocade, are happy to announce that we were contacted by My Smart Price, a website keen on changing the way we shop online and making it easier, for a collaboration. I have not shopped with them yet but the website looks promising and I am going to take advantage of the same in a couple of days and since, I shop means you know what it is all about, I see another post in the near future.

When I shop online, the biggest issue that I face is the search. It was a major drawback when I was studying till some years ago and with my work with some social organisations. Since I am now a full time blogger for the time being and this is like my imaginary bread and butter, I am browsing through all the valid shopping portals available on the internet almost all the time. It still gets a little tedious but you gotta do what you gotta do. However, for people who have higher levels of toiling to accomplish everyday, that can be a real headache (and backache if you count all the sitting in bed with the laptop). This is, precisely, where MySmartPrice comes in. The website is a quirky, easy to browse through and brings you products from all the most famous and powerful websites available as shopping portals. They have separate categories for electronic gadgets, make up products, clothing, Home and health appliances, sports products, babies and kids and as a cherry on top of Vanilla Ice cream (which is my greatest weakness after chocolate; and I don't like cherries on chocolate), Books. Since I am a sucker for more than Half of the things they have on their list, this website has become my Go-To place for comparing prices of all the products available on all the sites. The ease of shopping with them for the fashion crazy comes out clearly with the fact that I found about 4 products that I own there that I never saw anywhere on the internet (not a pleasant fact for women in general; there will be posts on where to find my looks on their website in the future).

To some of you, the company and the service may sound new. This website and their android app has become a raging success with upto 9-10 million visitors every month. They are funded by major names like Accel and Helion and in times to come, are expected to bring you prices of all the products sold online so you may compare and buy the best ones.

How it works: It is as simple to go use as it is to write about. When you visit their website at http://www.mysmartprice.com/, this page opens up on your screen:

Every part of the website is very clear and easily available. You can go to the desired category and click on it and this page opens up:


[I have opened the books page here, however, the other pages are a lot different. I will give you information on them in the subsequent posts.]

From here on you fall into another Galaxy if you're a book lover. MySmartPrice gives you a whole list of the prices your book of choice is available on the internet at.


The blue rectangles on the comparison column on this part of the page is the 'Go to Store' tab. As you click or tap on it, it leads you to the original location of the product on the website that you choose to shop for the product with. 


Now that we have begun this journey of ours with this fabulous website, stay tuned for more awesomeness to come from this latest love of mine. I cannot thank them enough for their books category and even more so for their fashion jewellery column. I am sharing some links for you all underneath. Let the shopping experience commence!

Victoria's Real Secret

Do you get that urge to shop every other day? Does a well stocked site make life worth living on some days? Well, join the brigade of awesome shoppers. India, with all its taboos and conservationists, has a certain issue with lingerie. I hate the whole concept of you can use it but not talk it. Have you ever been to the Victoria's Secret website? Well, if you haven't, I am gonna tell you why you should. 

One would think that the Amazing brand, home to all the gorgeous models like Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra Ambrosio, has nothing more to bring to the Universe than lingerie. Well, you're wrong. These people have so much more to offer than petty (but expensive enough to burn a hole in your pocket) lingerie. You can visit and explore www.victoriassecret.com if you want to. But don't blame me if you come out a changed woman. The reason for this, is simple. You will have to force yourself into denial to come out of it without buying anything. They have clothing, shoes, accessories, jewellery, cosmetics and what not. If you are a woman, there is no way in hell you will find it a waste of time. You will not regret visiting the website.

I am gonna share some of my dirty secrets from the page here. I am a shoe lover so I am gonna start with shoes. I share 4 links with you here. rest of them you will find on the website too. These are the ones that I love the most and it leaves me feeling guilty that I can't share the others (you'll have to be here all day)





Roy Raymond has given us something to treasure, people, don't insult him by considering it all lingerie.

The 14th of February is almost here and all you men must wanna treat your special ladies to something worth cherishing. But what does a man buy his woman. Well, you don't have to worry about if she'll like the design or will the colour be among her favourites. Just visit a VS showroom or the website and buy a gorgeous dress from their store. Here are some of my personal favourites.






The links 1 and 2 will be your best friends if you want to play it safe. The last thing you want to do over the Lovers' day is buy your favourite woman a dress size that is too tight (making her feel fat) or one that is too lose (making her think that you think she is that fat). In such a situation, you can/should buy her something that is supposed to stay lose. Although you will still need a vague idea of her size (which you can know from any dress hanging in her closet), you don't wanna risk it, Body types are trickier than Calculus. 3, 4 and 5 are, however, the most amazing articles for a woman with a balanced body. Lace is a lovely fabric (my personal favourite) and a treat in sync with the day you're targeting.

If you're one of those Amazing, Hopeless Romantics and are whisking her away to a beach dream come true  V-Day (and she is open enough for it) buy her some awesome trinkets. A beach needs beachwear and there is a probability that she is not prepared in terms of a wardrobe (I hope you're smart enough for it to be a surprise). You can buy her whatever you want but she will love you for a cover-up, not all women are comfortable in a bikini and guess what? A cover-up is sexier than the bikini.






VS also as a connected line called PINK. PINK has lingerie, apparel and accessories for 15-22 year old. The collection is highly teen-ish and is quirky and impressive. There is more on the website you can browse through and indulge yourself in. PINK has backpacks, bracelets and shoes too. UGGs, sneakers and flip-flops are also available with PINK as with the VS mainland.

I will take your leave for now and work towards bringing you some more info on stuff you can buy tomorrow! Shop smart and drop me an email if you need any help.

{PS, there is a gift on shopping worth $75. Check the website out}
