In a world where fashion and lifestyle often follow fleeting trends, Shaily Srivastava has carved her niche by staying true to her roots and embracing timeless elegance. From her early days as a tomboy to becoming the creative force behind The Mode Tree, Shaily’s journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and self-discovery. As she graces the cover of FAME Magazine, Shaily opens up about her evolution as a blogger, her inspirations, and her vision for the future.
The Birth of The Mode Tree
“Although I was a tomboy until my first year of college, I have always been fascinated by fashion and style,” Shaily recalls. Growing up, her father’s impeccable taste in textiles and fabrics left an indelible mark on her. “My father’s regal style is my biggest inspiration. He knew every textile and fabric, and I’ve carried that knowledge forward.”
It was during her postgraduate studies in the UK that Shaily’s interest in fashion blossomed. Upon returning to India, she started The Mode Tree as a hobby. “The name reflects my ethos—’Mode’ means fashion in French, and ‘Tree’ symbolizes growth and connection to nature, inspired by my father’s career in the Forest Department.”
Fashion, Creativity, and Personal Style
For Shaily, fashion is more than just following trends. “I’m an old-school person who believes in good-quality classics. Trends don’t excite me much,” she says. Her style effortlessly blends timeless pieces with subtle contemporary touches, creating a look that’s uniquely her own.
Education Meets Passion
With an engineering degree and an MBA under her belt, Shaily’s academic background has played a pivotal role in shaping her approach to blogging and creativity. “Working in marketing requires imagination, strategy, and creativity. While my corporate job doesn’t revolve around fashion, it has taught me the value of resilience and patience—skills I’ve applied to my blogging journey.”
Balancing Dual Careers
Juggling a corporate role as Deputy Manager at an advertising agency and her passion for blogging is no easy feat. “Time management and prioritizing tasks are essential. It’s about giving each role the attention it deserves,” she shares.
Lessons from Advertising
Working in an award-winning advertising agency has provided Shaily with invaluable insights. “I’ve learned that every person has unique talents, and there’s so much potential around us. Observing and learning from my colleagues has enriched my perspective as a blogger.”
Global Exposure and Fashion
Living and studying in the UK was a transformative experience for Shaily. “The international exposure inspired me immensely. Meeting people from diverse backgrounds every day broadened my horizons. It also added a distinct edge to my winter style quotient.”
Overcoming Challenges
Building The Mode Tree wasn’t without its hurdles. “I’m an outsider with no contacts or industry connections. Starting from scratch taught me the power of patience and smart work,” she says. Throughout her journey, Shaily’s brother and mother have been her unwavering pillars of support.
Aspirations and Future Goals
Looking ahead, Shaily is determined to elevate The Mode Tree to new heights. “I want to keep learning and working every day to grow my brand. Let’s see what the future holds!”
Advice for Aspiring Creatives
For those looking to merge creative passions with professional careers, Shaily has straightforward advice: “Be willing to work extra hours. Passion and dedication are key to balancing both worlds.”
Defining Success
For Shaily, success is deeply personal. “It’s about being happy in what you do, both personally and professionally. That’s what matters most.”
As Shaily Srivastava continues to inspire with her journey, her story serves as a reminder that with passion, resilience, and authenticity, it’s possible to create something truly meaningful. From her blog’s beginnings to her aspirations for the future, The Mode Tree is not just a fashion blog—it’s a reflection of Shaily’s growth, creativity, and unwavering determination.

A pivotal moment in my journey as a model and actress was when I landed in this industry, from my hometown. It significantly boosted my career and opened up new opportunities. To navigate through it, I stayed focused, worked hard on my craft, and remained adaptable to the challenges that came with such a prominent role.
Balancing the demands of modeling and acting requires effective time management and flexibility. I prioritize my commitments to ensure I can fulfill both modeling and acting obligations. Additionally, I constantly strive to maintain a versatile skill set that allows me to seamlessly transition between these two aspects of my career.
To stay creatively inspired in the dynamic world of entertainment, I expose myself to a variety of artistic influences, including films, literature, theater, and visual arts. I also collaborate with creative individuals from diverse backgrounds, attend workshops, and actively seek out new challenges that push me out of my comfort zone. Continuous learning and experimentation are key to evolving as a model and actress.
One professional challenge I faced in my career was when I had to audition for a role that was outside of my usual typecast. Initially, I felt uncertain and nervous, but I approached it as an opportunity for growth. I prepared diligently, sought feedback from industry professionals, and remained resilient in the face of rejection. Ultimately, I learned the importance of embracing versatility and authenticity, which led to personal growth and a broader range of opportunities in my career.
As a role model in the industry, I believe in the power of diversity and representation. I actively seek out projects that celebrate diversity in casting and storytelling, and I advocate for inclusivity both on and off-screen. I collaborate with organizations and initiatives that promote diversity in the entertainment industry. By taking proactive steps to promote inclusivity, I hope to contribute to a more equitable and representative entertainment landscape.
Lastly, my best ever support is my family. Several times, when I thought of leaving the industry because of rejection, my father always told me one thing: “Beta, jis cheez ke liye aap apne ghar se itne dur gaye ho, aap usme lage raho, kamyabi milegi.” Thank you, Papa Ji. Ammo, I say to my Maa, and both my sisters & my brother—they are my pillar. And even my both brother-in-laws—I am blessed. And yes, now I am blessed that someone calls me Massi by my cuties, Ishtuu & Ivu.
