In Sync

I love how chic and in sync Akshay Kumar and wife Twinkle look in their chosen sombre ethnic wear for attending a wedding. You can catch Twinkle wearing a similar chikan creation in a longer length here. Both suits in question look like signature Abu Jani - Sandeep Khosla creations.

The perks of celeb life

Looks like Minnisha Lamba got to keep her Cue by Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna gown that previously wore for their Seagram show last year. Hair up or down - do you have a preference for which avatar you prefer Minnisha in?

In Preen

Priyanka Chopra graces the latest Femina issue wearing the Preen Power Bandage Dress which was instant hit on the celeb circuit both in Hollywood and Bollywood. If you love this dress and have a bit of money to spare; you can score one for yourself at Browns Fashion.

A bit of 'India'

Designers continue their fascination with all things 'India'; whether its design or sometimes just in naming inspiration. Presenting the 'India' mirrored leather sandals from Jimmy Choo's 24:7 capsule collection of best sellers and classic styles. Available in a choice of gold or silver from net-a-porter now.

Red gone wrong

Nothing wrong with the dress - its one of the many stock standard one shoulder fitted short numbers that have been doing the rounds for many a months now but there is nothing about this look that pleases me. Can't quite figure whether its the shoes or the gaunt face that bothers me the most but nothing about this oh so predictable look works for me. Your thoughts?

In Blugirl

Fiery in red looks Twinkle Khanna in this little Blugirl number on the cover of the latest issue of Grazia. Loving the shorter hair do and the colour of the dress which looks much nicer on the mag cover rather than the orange version on the runway.

In her interview for the magazine Twinkle shares her style mantra saying " A woman has to always go by her structure and make the most of it, rather than try to dress like someone else. I love flowing dresses, but I can't really wear them because they overwhelm my frame. For me, everything has to be cinched at the waist."

On the subject of red look out for my sister's wedding ensemble ...coming very soon!

Back to writing...

After a brief hiatus (well not that brief, just under two months to be precise!) I am back to writing :).

Firstly, apologies and much love to my regulars who diligently kept checking in to see if there was a new post. Thank You. Sounds cheesy but if it wasn't for you and great fashion to comment about, blogging won't be fun. To fill you in briefly on what I have been up to in the past two months, I had a month in India to celebrate my sister's wedding and what a wedding it was! Back to Melbourne then to move into my own house after living in rentals for years, again feels amazing and then finally back to the grind that is the corporate world to earn some moolah. Life seems to be settling again and I got some lovely notes asking where I was and why I wasn't writing. So here I am :).

I figure my first post for the year has to be truly special - to cover someone special;wearing something very special. So here I go with the wedding series as promised.

My lovely gorgeous sister in all her glory wearing a stunning Manav Gangwani brocade lehenga for the cocktail/engagement party that she teamed with very chic and sleek diamond and ruby jewels and matching glass bangles. The green, purple and orange colour combination looked amazing and I love the net dupatta against the heavy brocade top and skirt.The makeup is M.A.C.

She looks so tall and model like, don't you all agree?

Here's wishing her happiness forever and ever.

Over the next few days look out for your regular celeb fashion fix and more on my sister's wedding.
