Site review & Giveaway | LimeRoad … a fun and exciting way to discover, share and shop #limeroad

“You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.”
Neil Gaiman

I was fortunate enough to discover Lime Road after they reached out to me and asked me if I’d like to do a joint promotion for them. Wasn’t really sure what they were all about, so I gingerly stepped into their space. Whoa…what greeted me was fresh, colourful and imaginative things. I stayed beyond my time, enjoying the little touches of excellence that adorned each product, making them so special and interesting.

LimeRoad is a fun and exciting way to discover, share and shop. A social-commerce platform targeted at the intelligent woman of today, it has an incredible width of carefully selected retailers, enabling customers to discover the best of lifestyle products across categories like apparel, accessories, home and non-perishable food.

This is not a run of the mill e-commerce site. One stop over and you are hooked. I stayed there for a good 3 hours when I first discovered it. What hits you is the vibrancy, the extensive yet handpicked collections, endless opportunities to mix and match.

What I absolutely loved about it is the scrapbook feature. You can mix and match different collections, build your wardrobe, pull stuff together on one page and get a feel of how it’ll look.You can see I had an absolute blast. I loved the home section loads, but then I tripped along and began window shopping! Such fun. I created scrapbooks  Many of them. Found things that spell me, colours that call my name and accessories that I would love to own. Here are a couple of my scrapbooks…

The fun thing is that you can mix and match anything and everything here. And then theres the ‘virtual magazine’. I thought that’s just so cool. I leafed through it for ages, taking in page after page. And if you fancy anything on a page, you have a link that takes you to the product. Novel! See the mugs below. So pretty!!

I was torn between kitchen, clothes, accessories and footwear! Like for instance this summer brunch outfit with accessories I pulled together. Just right for the hot Indian summer … cottons, eternally classic white and blue and a beautiful filigree handpiece. I loved the bag and sandals too.

In their words … “We believe that women want variety and are ready to put in effort to make their styles unique. That is where we think scrapbooks appeal to them. It gives them an opportunity to try out various product combinations and then share it with their friends. Almost like window shopping with friends”

I was also invited for a photoshoot for LimeRoad for their magazine. While this shot isn’t one I loved entirely, I did love the way they wrote about me. The team there was excellent. You can find me in their online magazine here …
