Hello Everyone and welcome to STYLE OVER COFFEE!!
My name is Sarmistha Goswami, and I am a Fashion Designer by day and a blogger by night!
I have always loved fashion, dressing up and feeling beautiful from inside. But after spending 3 years in a Fashion school (NIFT) and more than a decade working in the fashion industry as a designer, I learnt that loving fashion doesn’t necessarily mean knowing about it.
Fashion is about being aware of the latest trends, knowing how to incorporate those trends to suit your personality and feeling comfortable in being yourself. It is important to have a strong personal style that most of us tend to ignore and blindly copy the celebrities and the runway models.
But hey, relax! Before things get any more serious, Fashion is also about having fun, goofing up and learning from your mistakes! π
So the best way to achieve the so called ‘my own style’ is to keep experimenting till you figure out the elements that are truly YOU!
I started STYLE OVER COFFEE in 2013 as an attempt to share my personal style and all things I know about Fashion. I genuinely hoped the help and inspire women to experiment with their style as well.
I found blogging to be a great platform to share my thoughts and inspirations without disturbing my full-time professions.
However, STYLE OVER COFFEE has evolved a lot since it’s initial years. It is now a Fashion & Lifestyle blogs covering 4 main topics : Fashion, Beauty, Travel and Lifestyle. My husband Dr. Pankaj Jyoti Barua decided to co-author the blog and take care of the travel section of the blog, alongside being the blog Photographer. He is one of the best #InstaHusbands around! Pankaj works full-time as a Veterinarian and a Bio-informatician, when not involved with Style Over Coffee.
Together, we thrive to post quality content and photographs, and aim at inspiring every women to have fun with fashion and to get the best out of life, irrespective of their age, size, color and body type.
WeΒ would love to hear from everyone.

Sarmistha Goswami
October 19, 2013Thank you! Followed you back too in all the social media links too! However, I am not able to follow your blog in WordPress. Everytime I click on the follow button it automatically gets unfollowed again π I think it is a technical problem and may be writing to WordPress would help.

October 20, 2013Thank you love! The only way you will be able to follow me on WP is by subscribing your email address on my main page. You will then need to confirm the subscription on your email account. The reason is because I am self-hosted and that is the only way WP followers can view my posts on their readers. Thank you for following! Have a great weekend! <3

May 17, 2014Hi dear? Thanks for liking my post `the hair diaries.’ I don’t write mostly about fashion cuz my blog is about writing on just about everything but on those rare occassions, i can do a little about fashion. Anyways, i always look up profiles of people who like my posts and i was taken away by yours. Awesome fashion sense and body you have. I also realized you are from Bangalore. My childhood friend of 8 years recently relocated completely to Bangalore India and she does love fashion a lot. i see it in her facebook pics. She did interior design in college and i think they run a business with her sister called PVT squares or PVT and squares ltd. if i aint wrong. So if you’ve seen something like it in your city, pop in and look for Amrith or Archana Kumar. They might be very interested in what you do and you can always say their friend Likiza from Testimony Primary School in Eldoret, Kenya referred you to them. I might as well follow you cuz i think your blog’s just too cool. Cheers!

August 20, 2014Thank you ‘fashionista’ Sarmistha Goswami, although I have a suspicion you might now be feeling you maybe jumped in a bit quicker than you wanted!! And so very interesting to hear about your Husband, who you say is both a naughty dog and a pompous cat – I imagine you must have a lot of fun with him and I bet you he tires you out on the long walks you give him – there again, I bet his feline nature plays havoc with your curtains and balls of wool, assuming you have them – just as well you adore animals eh!! My lesser half doesn’t and she took me to the Vets one day when I was a little tipsy, took me to have me put down – luckily for me I escaped, but the RSPCA now have a warrant out on me!
WAHEY & CHEERS!!
