What do Priyanka Chopra, Huma Qureshi, Anushka Sharma,Sonakshi Sinha, Nargis Fakhri and Diya Mirza have in common? Well all of these leading Bollywood beauties have opted for short tresses and got their lovely long tresses chopped off! Personally I myself love long beautiful black hair , but a lil experimenting here and there is alright but getting my tresses chopped off is something I am never going to do! However these 4 beauties have gone ahead with their haircuts and it did work for a few and for some it was just another disaster. But hey its just hair, its gonna grow back ;) First it was Sonakshi Sinha , then following her footsteps was Diya Mirza and later on Huma Qureshi took the trend , and now Priyanka Chopra chopped her lovely long hair !

I remember a few girls in my college being very cautious about their long hair (they would not get it cut even when it reached below their butt:p) , and mind you they wouldn’t give a shit if they looked horrid or gorgeous and went to say they were very proud of their long always plaited hair! But there were other few girls who complained their house rules included never cutting their hair, poor girls, imagine always having to spend hours washing them and all those long hours combing and setting their hair! We love long hair but hair so long it sweeps the ground literally is so not our cup of tea! :D
I had flowy soft hair that fell till my lower back but I got a haircut two weeks back and now they fall till my shoulders in soft waves ^_^ All thanks to our celebs ;) Everybody is going the short hair route in bollywood!

Sonakshi Sinha got a hair cut which suits her well, she rocks it almost all the time. While she experiments even with her short hair I just wish she had sported her short hair do atleast once in her brother’s wedding celebrations. Other than that we have no complains here!

Diya Mirza carries her short hair do elegantly except that I liked her more in long hair. Don’t ask me why you can spot the difference yourself.

Priyanka Chopra’s new haircut was praised by many of her fans and no doubt she looks ultra cute in her new hair cut but can you forget the Peecee with long dark tresses in her pop song ‘ exotic’

Huma Qureshi for once shocked me with her horrible hair cut and choice of hair color. Lets just say Ms Qureshi needs to take a cue from a few other celeb mates of hers.

Anushka Sharma tops the charts when it comes to working the short hair do . Her shoulder length hair frames her face beautifully ! Also I simply cannot get past her short hair bob she sports in the movie, PK. I actually like Anushka’s hair do in PK much more than her real hair do ;)

Nargis Fakhri is the new entry in B town to have cut her hair and rumors have it she cut her own hair! The fringe does not do justice to that gorgeous face! She looked way better with the longer hair do !
Has the short hair trend caught up with you too?
Until next time,

Happy New Year director Farah Khan celebrated her 50th Birthday with a grand bash and joining her in this celebration was a host of bollywood celebs along with her husband and kids.

Celebs list who attended this star studded bash included Amrita Rao, Aishwarya Rai , Deepika Padukone among others. ShahRukh khan who is both friend and hero of Farahs latest film was missing from this bash but Gauri khan made up for his absence.

Farah Khan Wore a pink embellished kurta and osed with her husband and kids. Love the co-ordinated girls.


Deepika Padukone wore a powder blue Burberry dress paired with nude pumps and nude clutch bag. It is good to see her give that oxy blood lip a miss . A simple look in which deepika looked good.


Kangana Ranaut Chose a Pink Gucci gown with black shirt for the event. Her Curly hair and black pumps finished her look. She looked good but is this look Birthday Appropriate? A bit too formal I think.


Fashionista Sonam Kapoor stuck to her bold experimenting style mantra and turned up in a black Stella McCartney black lace dress which features a sheer hem. The neckline is interesting but not my Cup of tea and like always Sonams makes it work. The make up, hair and that bag all work well . Love the look
 

Madhuri turned up in what looked like a clear disaster. The printed pants do no good . Other than that Madhuri looked great. Wish she had skipped them and worn jeans or leather instead


Katrina Kaif kept it simple in distressed denims and white  tank. Jimmy choos was a welcome addition but what the hell is wrong with make up. Way too much bronzer.


Amrita Rao was spotted at the do in an inch by Neha Modi dress. Red lips and a gold box clutch finished her look. I like Amrita Rao as an actress but she disappoints with her styling a lot. But this was a good one. The side swept hair kind of doesn’t gel in but she looked great


It was great to see Aishwarya give her Anarkali and sarees a miss and turned up in a Black Fendi Dress. Red lips , straight hair and floral sandals finished her look. She looked good . looks like aishwarya has now embraced black and red lips . Seeing her do that more often. Those sandals I love. I want.


Malaika Arora Spiced up things ina pleated dress. sparkly Louboutins shoes and Louis Vuitton clutch was added to the shimmery dress. Bright lips and side swept hair she looked Aah-Mazing. Question is was it event apropriate? Doesn’t she look like the Birthday gal?


Gauri Khan stuck to her same old hair  wearing a black dress with red lips.  Gauris styling is not for me. Not impressive at all. she needs a stylish or atleast get rid of that hair colour.

Lara Dutta wore a Floral printed black dress. Black clutch and sandals finished her look. She looked good but I don’t like those sandals.


Mallika Sherawat wore a Red lace dress and black pumps and cluth with it. She did fine.

Who do you think looked the best?

In short, minis are (once again) very, very hot.
Is the miniskirt the feminist’s new uniform? Both are currently trending in fashion. Of course the correlation between skirt lengths and the culture at large is nothing new.
Skirts bring out the feminine side of women. I prefer skirts over jeans and tights. With designers trying out their hands on making mini skirts in different materials , they have become a rage ! Skirts in polka dots , skin tight jeans mini skirts and lace mini skirts are few of the skirts you’ll love that too if you get them at affordable prices from flipkart ! Check out the skirt and go shopping!

They make you feel delectable and girly and feels so much more like a woman! In a world where gender confusions have risen up, it’s the skirts talking ! There is something ultra feminine about skirts!

Wearing skirts is actually freeing ! With so many trends the skirt style just got better! And floral printed skirts are the best thing that happened to mini skirts !

It’s a whole new thing that you have a lot of complications while wearing one but hey in order to look fashionably stylish and different its worth wearing em !

Mini skirts have made a lot of appearances on and off screen in Bollywood , with almost all actresses sporting mini’s , it looks like mini skirts can never go out of style! here are a few Celebs who wear their mini’s real well!

Anyhoo Midi’s are the new minis !
Midi’s are back in the trend talk wow and how! Coming in different, bolder colors, random designs, etc.  nd can end just below the knees or a couple of inches above the ankle. Also they have more variants now- full, flowing, pleated, etc. So there is a style that everyone can adapt their midi-skirt to.
The midi skirt is a wear-anywhere clothing, and you can easily carry it off be it either for a morning tea party to a girls night out. hence a midi skirt, especially with a high waist line is a must have this season !
There are uncountable ways that you can wear and style a midi skirt, making the midi’s one of the most versatile fashion garments around. You can take it out for a formal occasion or a night on the town, but also rock it carefree and casual with tees and flats. And the advantages go on increasing the midi’ styling possibilities, which are endless . Plus they are super comfy !
The past year 2014 saw a lot of celebs sporting the midi look paired with crop tops. Hoping this trend is here to stay for !
The bollywood divas just wouldn’t stop sporting the comfy skirt and gave us a lot of outfits we loved every bit !

Love the way Kangana , Deepika and Sonam pair their crop tops with their following midi skirts ! Elegance personified ! Kareena takes up the skirt a notch higher ! Loved it!

The celebs always made sure they surprised us with every midi skirt outfit they took out for an outing, loving almost all of the looks above ! The Floral skirt on Sonakshi is a welcome change and Huma carries her skirt well! Whereas for Kangana and Alia , what can we say they were born to carry off any midi skirt look we awe !

And lets not forget the stunning Sonam Kapoor who floored us with her midi skirt appearances , she was a clear winner when it came to midi skirts ! couldn’t put a finger on any of her midi outfits, she wore all of them with confidence and looked absolutely stunning in every skirt!
here’s hoping we get to see more of this skirt all over India ! Girls don’t forget to experiment if you haven't tried a midi skirt yet , time to stop thinking and bring one home like NOW!
Until next time
