Prabal Gurung for J. Crew

Collaborations by two of my favourite fashion houses. Of which one I have a own a few pieces of and the other I aspire to own.

J.Crew is by far the best name I know in clean, minimalistic fashion and Prabal again very structured yet feminine.

Just heard that he has designed a capsule for J.Crew. Ya I know I might be a tad bit late to break the news but dam I love both of them and I was a on a holiday. It was summer people, you got to take off.

He has created a range of dresses, trousers and blouses. Emphasizing on over sized bows and ribbon details, the collection is available at select stores & at J.CREW ONLINE

I hope I can own a Prabal Gurung someday.

Sonam Kapoor on OK June 2011 cover - styled by Rhea Kapoor

These sisters are always upto a fashion surprise and that's no surprise to us. In an The magnificent theme of Fairy Tales and flawless styling is the OK June 2011 issue.

Rhea styles Sonam threw various characters keeping fashion at its core. What I love about Sonam is obviously that she carries off anything effortlessly but how she fits into the character she plays be it in films or stills so seamlessly. The fashion never seems to overpower the theme or the character.

Don't believe me view all the past posts on Sonam and I am telling you, you will agree with me.

Smitten by Sonam - Marie Claire June 2011 Cover

Ok I cannot help but confess this one. She looks ethereal. Perfect body, right amount of grace and attitude, the perfect feminine yet sexy dress. The cover is a stunner

I love it. Drop your comments below if you agree with me

Aishwariya Rai does a why o why?

The more I see her the more I would like to ask why O why Ash? Why would you do this to yourself. Such a pretty face and such bad taste in clothes.

Dont know why Ash chose this ill fitted blush dress and this sequined jacket to go with it. It only added to the volume and made her look bigger than she already is. She looks far from classy. That hat ain't saving up anything .

Ash was at the Longines do in Paris over the weekend. The beautiful Loreal ambassador needs to brush up her make up skills. Take a close look at the close up and you will know why?

Pernia Quereshi's After Hours

Ok I thought this was a cool concept and am glad somebody is doing it. Pernia Quereshi the stylist responsible for Aisha and all the glamour that goes with it has launched her set of short films and i think for a first timer it snot bad.

Yes we would like to have seen a whole lot of different stuff but what the heck, lets wait and watch guys. So here's the first one.

Looks 'Ive loved

Ok so yes have been away on a long holiday. Away from all the madness and backpacking through India. Its been the most enriching experience of my life. But I must confess while I roughed it out on this holiday I was also itching to wear all the fun stuff and see who was wearing what while I was on holiday. I also managed to pack in a week in NYC and London in the last 3 months and I loved every bit of it.

The two people who've impressed me and how are Sonam Kapoor & Kate Middleton(ya I know they aren't surprises but these ladies have now reached a new milestone in being stylish.

Kate ofcourse had her wedding day where she looked marvelous. Wont write much about that coz I'm sure enough and more has been written about it. But this last appearance of hers at a social last week( some glamourous gala in London). She chose a blush pink Jenny Packham dres. I could be wrong as you know I am not perfect with names but I love style more than brands.
There was nothing that I could say when someone looked so wonderful actually so effortlessly stylish but only that I would want to look like her soon.

The other one is Sonam Kapoor at the Artist premiere at Cannes 2011. She chose a Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2009 gown. It was a tough one to pull through with something so structured yet so fluid. She wore her hair just right so it wouldnt mess or interfere with the many details of the gown. Her make up just right for the red carpet to lift a white dress to sophisticate levels.

I have attached close ups for you to see the hair & make up.

I know you guys will agree on this one. Don't forget to post your feedback in the comments section.
