Nidhi Chanani: Everyday Love
November 19, 2012
Creating and running BollyInstyle has been (and continues to be) a fantastic experience for me. I mean, I get to share and highlight the many things that I’m interested in and passionate about—it’s pretty great. Whether it’s about fashion, function, family, fun, food, etc., everything has an underlying theme: showcasing those in the South Asian design space. I love supporting South Asian artists and it warms my heart to see small ventures & companies do well. It’s especially fun to watch artists gain popularity and be able to post updates on them.
When illustrator and artist Nidhi Chanani first started I was immediately drawn to her joyful energy and magical artwork. Her illustrations are delightfully whimsical… they’re so appealing for so many reasons. They really resonate with people of all ages. Her website, Everyday Love, just launched and is radiant. I’m so excited to see her doing so splendidly! On Everyday Love you can purchase prints, cards, books, magnets, buttons, and gift cards. You can browse her portfolio, and catch up on her blog. Own a shop and interested in carrying some of Nidhi’s art? There is also a wholesale section.
In addition to being featured on a ton of places like Daily Candy and BBC Radio; Nidhi was also honored earlier this year as a Champion of Change at the White House. Check her out, why don’t you? Tell me what sort of fun finds you come across while browsing her prints—she has so many up & available!

Holstee Manifesto
January 25, 2012
Life has been a bit crazy for me lately…(8 week old twins and a toddler:). Shall I say more. It’s always nice to have reminders about the things that are important. That is how I discovered this manifesto poster by Holstee. I eagerly looked up the company and fell in love their story and products. Two brothers, along with a business partner started the company without a business plan in mind but instead created a mantra “This is your LIFE”, which has been seen over 50,000,000 times!
Another meaningful product that caught my attention is Holstee’s Upcycled Wallet. Working with an NGO in India, Holstee came up with a ‘no two alike’ wallet made from recycled plastic bags and newspapers collected from the streets of Delhi.
Check out this video based upon the Manifesto. This video will be part of my new morning routine! Sometimes certain words are so encouraging. Life is all about that. Thank you HOLSTEE.

Sweet Sound ~ Tara Priya
September 23, 2011
Amy Winehouse may not be present, but her voice and style has continued to inspire other singers to create soulful music. Which allows me to introduce Tara Priya. This awesome retro singer/songwriter gal has subtle nuances from Amy Winehouse, Adele, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. What do you think?
Check out her song “Rollin’”, which won the 18th Annual Billboard Song Awards. For SoCaler’s, Tara has a show October 3rd at The Mint in LA.

By now, I think you all know how amazing I think Catherine over at Rikshaw Design is, how she’s perfected the technique of block printing to create a gorgeous fresh bohemian style clothing and bedding line for all ages.

Sweet Sounds ~ Bhi Bhiman
February 8, 2011
If you’re a fan of folk music, you MUST hear Bhi Bhiman, a Sri Lankan American singer-songwriter from the Bay Area. His voice is quite catchy and captivating. I love it! He writes about politics, pop culture, and his daily ramblings – combining it all with a great sense of humor.
P.S. San Franciscans – Bhi will be playing at Fillmore Lounge (Feb 17th) and Revolution Cafe (Feb 24th).
