Incredible India: Sarojini Nagar Haul

Sarojini Nagar is a very popular market amongst Indian teens and women. Located in the capital city, New Delhi, it is a bustling market with many colourful stores. Roadside drinks stalls, women adorned in saris carrying around mobile Jewelry stalls, graffiti and the chit chatter of the locals bargaining with the shopkeepers. Indian Youtuber, Sherry Shroff called it "the best place to shop in the world".


So when I knew I was going to New Delhi, I did my research and watched all the haul videos on YouTube to get a glimpse of the market and the kind of stuff they sell and I got so excited for my India trip! I made my way to Sarojini on the very first day of my India trip - you can tell just how excited I was. I had my money and tote bag ready to conquer the market. Sadly, I could not spend much time in the market - due to the heat and time (I had so many places I wanted to check out within that 1 day in Delhi). Nevertheless, I still got a few items from Sarojini Nagar. 

As soon as I entered, I bought these Indian traditional earrings for 60 rupees. 


Soon after, i spotted these pretty printed palazzo pants in a store. There were all these colours and prints and each pair was just 200 rupees, I decided to get 2. They're so comfy, Now, I really wish I got more though.


Next, I stopped at a random street vendor selling sunglasses. Knock offs basically. I got five pairs of sunglasses as gifts for my friends from this stall. They were priced at just 150 rupees per pair - what a steal, even my friends agree.


 Silver mirrored aviators (I kept these for myself 'cos I really liked it + mirrored sunnies are really in right now)

Yellow mirrored aviators - Shay Mitchell has the same pair!

Classic Aviators (Got it in dark & light blue)

Tortoise shell wayfarers

Time check, it was about 12:15pm by then and the Delhi heat was getting overwhelming - enough to make me randomly visit random air-conditioned stores in the market. Somehow, I made it to the famous graffiti lane that supposedly has the best stuff and bought myself this American Eagle dress for 250 rupees which comes around $5.



Tumblr-worthy, isn't it?

I really looked around for more good hunts - dresses, tops, kimonos were on my list but I didn't manage to find any. I guess that's for the next time. Someone please bring me to Sarojini Nagar!!!
