*Psst! If you have suggestions for things to do in Rio please post a comment below, it’s my first time there!

Um… so the husband is SO not going to be pleased that I haven’t even left the airport yet but somehow managed to shop already! BUT can you blame me? How cute are these?! Lavender shades to give me purple-tinged peepers (which we all know are in season) and this darling retro casette tape neckpiece by Blur (which cost me a combined grand total of 880rs!) Not bad right? It’s a tiny little shop near Gate 6 called Esbeda FYI. What am I doing at the airport you may ask? Ah, well I’m off to Brazil of course!

Here’s what happened…

On March 22nd 2012, Diageo anounced that Rio de Janeiro, Brazil would play host to the highly anticipated Global Final of Diageo Reserve World Class 2012, a landmark week in the luxury industry that sets the trends of mixology worldwide. (Remember last year it was in Delhi?) From 8 – 12 July 2012, Rio de Janeiro will welcome over 50 of the world’s best bartenders from around the globe their respective media and a Desi Girl Blogger who’s going to document all the action for you LIVE from Copacabana Beach!

Of course Team MissMalini will keep you covered on all things Bollywood, Fashion & Lifestyle back at our Mumbai headquarters so don’t worry about that! Just if you wanna see what I’m getting up to follow me on Twitter @MissMalini and the rest of the World Class Crew on @WorldClassLive and the hashtag #WCRio. And now I think it’s a good a time as any to press play on this song 🙂 xoxo
