The style, travel, and lifestyle upgrades every girl needs

We all dream of the perfect life: the blue beach vacations, the monochrome yet chic corporate outfits, the Pinterest-worthy apartments that feel like home and heaven at once. You name it, and all of us girlies have at some point imagined living the absolute girl “bawse” life. Actually, scratch that: we don't just imagine it. We work pretty damn hard for it! So if you're balancing boardrooms and besties, spreadsheets and skincare routines, trust us, you deserve a little bombastic something to make it all feel worth it.

Whether you’re a full-on fashion girlie who lives for the thrill of a statement sleeve, or a slow-living soul who dreams in Goan sunsets, we’ve curated the ultimate guide to aesthetic upgrades that scream main character energy.

The romantic rebel edit

If you believe your outfit should start a conversation before you do, we’ve got a little something in the Cosmo wardrobe that does the trick. 97 Motifs is your go-to for slow fashion, size-inclusive silhouettes that wrap you in comfort, quirk, and quiet luxury. For those who love their prints with a story, Truffle India weaves Rajasthani block prints into everyday wear and maternity chic, proving tradition can totally trend. House of Ara strikes the perfect balance between earthy and edgy, blending Indian weaves with modern cuts while keeping sustainability front and centre. And if you like your fashion with a soft whisper rather than a shout, Baise Gaba is your dream closet. Poetic prints, gentle palettes, and silhouettes that feel as effortless as they look, this is statement dressing for the introspective It Girl. It’s thoughtful, rooted, and endlessly expressive.

Jewels the statement sparkle

What’s a queen without her crown (or at least a silver ring stack)? For the minimalist maximalist, Rasa Silver Jewellery boasts timeless, radiant, and oh-so-you accessories, like their ethically made silver jewellery that doubles as conversation starters. Whether you’re dressing up for a big pitch or a first date, Rasa lets your accessories do the flirting.

Luxe everyday essentials

Statement living doesn’t always have to scream. Sometimes, it whispers, “comfort but make it cool.” For the boys (and their girlfriends who steal their hoodies), XYXX is all about redefining basics with tech-forward fabric, gender-neutral appeal, and luxe loungewear vibes. Their sweatshirts? Think boyfriend energy—soft, warm, and always in style. Perfect for late-night airport looks or Netflix evenings.

Bad and bougie

For when you want your feet (and fit) to do all the talking, Culture Circle has everything for the hype girlie who doesn’t play by the rules. From Air Jordans to rare sneaker drops and curated streetwear, Culture Circle is your one-stop platform for all things hype. Think of it as the Birkin bag of sneaker culture—hard to get, but worth the chase.

Make vacation your lifestyle

Because let’s face it: we’re all just one serotonin-depleted day away from booking a trip. If the group chat says “break,” these dreamy destinations will have you packing your weekender faster than you can say “OOO.” Coco Shambhala is your soft life starter pack—a collection of ultra-luxe villas in Sindhudurg featuring beachfront living rooms, private infinity pools, and sun-drenched interiors that look straight out of an AD spread. It’s not just a getaway; it’s a full-body exhale. For the glamazon who prefers safari over cityscape, Jehan Numa Wild offers boutique jungle lodges tucked into the untamed beauty of Satpura and Pachmarhi. Think wilderness, but with 5-star service—perfect for the Cosmo girl who wants to unplug, recharge, and channel her inner earthy goddess.

Sweet treats and spa energy

For the wellness-obsessed with a taste for the finer things, it’s often the little details that set the tone. Nutriplus Monofloral Honey – Ramtil & Tulsi brings Ayurvedic goodness into your everyday routine, with single-flower honeys that feel equal parts gourmet and wholesome; drizzle it on toast, stir into matcha, or enjoy a spoonful straight for an instant wellness upgrade. On another note of indulgence, sustainably crafted Indie Wild Chai Lip Balms deliver cosy-girl energy in a pocket-sized form, perfect to stash in every bag. It’s small, intentional luxuries like these that remind us self-care is best savoured in the everyday.

Queen of the scene: Where to be seen

A true Cosmo girl never just goes out, she arrives. And when it comes to dining, these iconic restaurants and cafés serve ambiance, aesthetics, and avocado toast in equal measure. Souk at Taj Palace sets the stage for date nights that feel straight out of a cinematic still, while Shamiana at the Taj Mahal Palace remains the OG destination for a luxury brunch that never goes out of style. For something bright, breezy, with a stunning view of the sea, Atrium Bar & Lounge at Taj Lands End is the go-to. And if indulgence had a postal address, it would surely be Seven Kitchens at St. Regis, where every detail feels like an ode to opulence.

Living a statement life isn't about excess. It's about intention and surrounding yourself with things that light you up, be it an artisanal print, a perfectly whipped coffee, or a picturesque villa with your name on it. So here’s your cue to do the most and live like the lead. Because, darling, being too much is never a problem when you’re everything!
