At HT Digital, she writes and creates fashion affiliate content for both the website and social media, blending trend awareness with shopping practicality. Her work sits at the intersection of style and strategy combined with equal parts aesthetic and analytics.

A self-confessed fashion enthusiast, Samarpita has a sharp eye for colours, prints, silhouettes, and textures. She notices the fall of a fabric, the mood of a palette, and the difference a good cut can make. Her expertise lies in translating trends into wearable, relatable style and helping readers shop smarter, not louder.

She studied at Delhi Public School and graduated from Miranda House, University of Delhi in 2019, where she also wrote for the college magazine. She later completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Advertising and PR from MICA, Ahmedabad.

Samarpita believes fashion content doesn’t need to be complicated or overly eloquent. It should be simple, fun, and genuinely helpful, guiding readers through daily style decisions with confidence and joy.

Anshula Kapoor's bridal emergency kit offers an array of essentials, from beauty fixes to comfort aids, catering to the needs of brides and bridesmaids.

If you thought a bridal emergency kit was just a couple of safety pins and a blotting sheet stuffed into a sequined potli, think again. This season, newly engaged and effortlessly cool Anshula Kapoor has raised the bar with a bridal emergency kit so thorough, so genius, and so wildly practical that it deserves its own cinematic universe. So whether you’re a bride, a bridesmaid, or the friend who ends up acting as a human storage locker, this kit is basically the holy grail of wedding-day survival.
