Blog anniversaries provide a great opportunity to look back and reminisce all that has been done! As #GuiltyBytesTurns3, I feel extremely humbled and grateful to be able to have a platform that has touched so many people's lives. Thank you to each one of you for making it happen! Today on the blog, I have the first post from my blogoversary giveaway series, so I hope you enjoy it all :)

When I started out back in 2012, I had absolutely no idea that one day I will become a creative entrepreneur and connect with so many of you out there through this medium. More than embracing fashion, I wanted to write, to empower women of all body types and most importantly to build a community that wasn't all that glossy! I was always apprehensive of going all out, on all social media channels to talk about who I am, what I did, how I looked but I guess I was lucky that people actually cared, I was lucky that a lot of you could relate to my writings and maybe that's why together we are, #TeamGuiltyBytes. I don't want to write long essays here as this time I have decided to say thank you to my readers by hosting series of giveaways! Yes, I am hosting month long blogoversary and you all are invited to my party. Today's post has the first giveaway and I tied up with one of my favorite brands, Exclusively.in that houses some of the best designers in the country or rather world. If you have been eyeing a designer ensemble, then guess what, this could be your day! Enter below to win a gift card worth Rs. 5000 to shop for a dream outfit on Exclusively.in. 


Exclusively.in is the definitive, international destination for Indian-inspired luxury and lifestyle products. Leading designers such as Anita Dongre, Satya Paul, Ritu Kumar, Hemant & Nandita, Gaurav Gupta retail on Exclusively.in among others. To win the shopping card worth Rs. 5000 from Exclusively.in, all you need to do is tell me that one thing you have liked about my blog guilty bytes and why? Share your entry by dropping your comment in the comment box below and use the hashtag #GuiltyBytesTurns3 in your answers. You could also tweet your answers to me by tagging @guiltybytes or just tell me on any of the social channels that you have entered the blogoversary party! 

Contest will end on 8th Feb, 2015 and yes, good luck and lots of love :)

  3. #GuiltyBytesTurns3 Congratulations girl.....I stumbled upon your blog by chance almost two years back....we met at an event your pr company was hosting and I loved what you were wearing...coincidentally I overheard you talking to another blogger telling her how even you have a blog and well the stalking began :p.... I am so glad that I overheard that conversation ( I know bad manners :p) otherwise I would missed all the amazing stuff I have been reading on this platform.
    What I love the most about your blog that its fun to read each every post. I hate preachy tutorials and reviews but your posts are interesting with some amazing pictures. I also loved the extensive post you wrote about blogging...it had so many great tips and helped me improve my blog alot....
    Keep up the great work and I wish you all the success in life and every venture you take up in future :)

  6. First of all, lemme say you look angelic in that dress. :) Happy blogoversary to you and the entire team of Guilty Bytes. #GuiltyBytesTurns3 From the pretty purple saree to rocking a little black dress and winning the Elle Top Blogger Award last year, if there's one thing I could say about you, it would be, "You know how to keep it stylish and real" and we absolutely love that. :)

    I have been reading your blog from a year now, and I love the reviews as much as the pictures. There's a difference between 'Just-being-there' and 'Being -there-wit-a-difference.' That difference, I guess, is the way you think and the energy you bring in your work. It's infectious. :)

    Wish you all the best and lots of love since Valentine's is also around. :*

  12. Firstly, I'd say you are looking gorgeous in this outfit.
    Honestly, I was't aware about your blog until you came to visit my college and just brief about blogging. Since then I've been following you like anything.I love your each post and if possible, try to apply some in my life as well. The best thing about your blog is simplicity. Every post is simple and quiet inspiring. When I came to know about your youtube channel, its like i'm mad for each video. #GuiltyBytesTurns3
    P.S.- you are very pretty.

  13. Devina! :)
    A warm hello to you. A hearty congratulations on turning 3, and a lot more to come ahead. :) Congrats on achieving the laurels on your hard work into Guilty Bytes. Elle Awards is a big deal. Way to go! :)
    I accidentally ran into your blog and I was left mesmerised. I think you look absolutely beautiful in the pictures, and you should definitely get the first and second ones framed!
    I'm glad i bumped into your blog, because it is one of the best ones I've come across and it just stands out from the rest. What I loved is the title itself, its quirky and everybody tends to have some guilt or the other :P I think you're doing a fabulous job running this blog as it covers all the areas that I tend to reach out for at times, and here it is; available at a single stop.


    I am a passionate cook myself, a makeup enthusiast and a budding writer. Where else can I get all the inspiration other than Guilty Bytes! I started as a blogger when i was 14, and I quit writing due to lack of encouragement. After my journey going through your blog, I have gained that boost of confidence that I had lost, and for the first time in years I thought of re-launching my long-lost blog. For my regained confidence, I proudly give credits to the milestones that you've achieved and successful completion of three years, with lots more to go. Somewhere I felt that someday I may be able to stand up on my feet. Ah! I apologise for boring you with my 'senti' story.
    I absolutely enjoyed reading the Food section, and it is my favourite apart from your You-tube videos. The videos are superbly 'directed' :P and exceptionally creative. I just lovee watching every one of them. Maybe I cannot pinpoint one thing what I love about Guilty Bytes, as I love all of its aspects and creativity. Another thing I perceived is the Originality that lies in your blog that I happen to admire the most. Keep it going! #GuiltyBytesTurns3 :)

    I take this giveaway as an opportunity to let my heart speak about your blog, I apologise for being lengthy (and all touchy)but I do hope you take a minute off and read it. Loads of love.
    Cheers,
    Disha :)

  31. hey! congratulations on turning 3, wishing you many more years of fashion , beauty , style and smiles!
    To being i was a girl with very low self esteem and confidence, 'cuz im overweightand i also have something called the Photophobia, you'd never find me in any pictures,i'd literally run like run away or lock myself up..but ever since i read your How to's section with the How to look slim in pictures, i kinda starting practicing at home and slowly started making guest appearance in pictures, its getting a lil better now, i'm sure ill get there someday :) Thank you Devina for installing the confidence in me and making me love myself..
    And since then GUILTY BYTES has been my go to place for everything, make-up tutorials, what products to buy,gossip,food,hair do's,doing up my little room interiors, wearing the samething multipleways, quick fixes,actually its also been quite a money saver for me, dont run to the salon for everything now and also dont waste money on unnecessary beauty products!
    Thank you for being gorgeous !

  33. Hi Devina,
    Thank You so much for hosting such a lovely giveaway.
    Well to begin with there are many things about your blog that I love that tempt me to visit it every now and then. First of all I must say that guiltybytes is an all in one blog that is not only related to makeup tutorials but also has everything right from fashion to Bollywood Gossip. That is the reason why you won the Elle Beauty Award 2014 which you definitely deserve. I like all the reviews on your blog because they are very genuine and not biased. Last but not the least I love the way you carry yourself in all your pictures.. and I am a die hard fan of all the outfits that you have..I always love to see them. I like the way you are genuine, positive and creative which reflects in your blog. #GuiltyBytesTurns3

    Heer Jalundhwala :)

  34. Hi Devina! First, congratulationnns!
    So this was May 2013, I was in the midst of my 2nd year final exams, and during a short (!) break from the books, I stumbled upon your blog. Bam, I was hooked. You won't believe, I actually spent hours stalking your entire blog, right from the first post. And yeah, I almost flunked the next day. =D
    What I really like about your blog is it's versatility, how you aren't limited to one genre, you can write about anything and everything under the Sun and still make it interesting, keeping readers like me engaged and well informed! And you are a huge inspiration.
    Also, on an unrelated note, I love your hair :)
    Good luck for all your future ventures.

  35. #GuiltyBytesTurns3Congrats!

    The thing i most liked about your blog or instead you is your perseverance while blogging. Hats off that fear of failure never stopped you in the midst of your work and you actually gave it a shot while. I am sure success didn't come to you at one go.

    Also, I felt this blog never tried be out of the league and probably that's worked in favour of you because people managed to connect to your blog. Product reviews and fashion tips are the best sections of your blogs. keep doing good work. All the best :)
