Wedding Inspiration: Sonam Kapoor looks her Ethnic best at PRDP Promotions
November 22, 20150 Comments
In character movie promotions are very common these days and you can spot almost every bollywood celebrity dressed in character at  promotional events. No one does fashion and and in character promotions better than Sonam Kapoor and for her recently released blockbuster Prem Ratan Dhan Payo sonam kapoor was seen in  a series of ethnic looks at promotional events.

The film which also stars Salman Khan has sonam kapoor playing the role of a indian princess and this means we get to see sonam kapoor delight us in traditional ethnic looks both on screen and offscreen . Here we put  together her best ethnic looks for brides to take inspiration from. Be it mehendi or sangeet Sonam kapoor  threw in a perfect look for every occasion as she promoted her movie. Even for non brides this post will serve as inspiration to dress up in style for the upcoming wedding season .

In a Rohit bal Ensemble featuring an anarkali with slit and white lehenga sonam pormoted her movie at a  jewelry store. Red lips , middle parted hair and gold earrings finished out this look.  Personally i think the hair and make up was too severe here. The outfit was interesting and i would have loved a softer updo .
Where to wear: Your sangeet , twirl around in this ensemble and it will look fabulous, just make sure you leave your hair open and wear heels

At the success bash of PRDP Sonam was spotted in a biege Anavila handwoven saree with metallic borders. Silver jewellery from Amarapalli , middle parted hair and soft make up finished out this look. A crop top paired with a non traditional saree drape, trust sonam to mix things up and churn out hatke looks. The dull saree was well elevated with oxidised jewellery and iam totally loving this simple but different ethnic look.
Where to wear: This is a very versatile look and can be replicated on several wedding dos including friends wedding or your own reception if your want to play subtle and experimental . Id would suggest this combination of crop top with the off beat drape for your mehendi , would look fresh and fun

Jackets over sarees are an in thing these days but sonam kapoor tok things a notch higher by turning up in Rahul Mishra anarkali type pastel blue coat over saree. This can be a very tricky look to pull off but if you have it you go for it!
Where to wear: To the next winter wedding you attend! Stay comfortably warm without compromising on style and you will definitely grab some eyeballs with this look

In a floor length red Gaurang Anarkali with a contrast green dupatta sonam kapoor looked gorgeous . I Love the addition of chand Bali earrings here and the make up for perfect too . Side swept hair and gold juttis finished out this breezy look on Sonam kapoor. The styling here is just PERFECTION but i wish the anarkali had a better fit.
Where to wear: To your relatives wedding  or Mehendi

A chirpy yellow suit paired with silver jootis spells comfort . This is something i would wear without thinking twice.
Where to wear:  Flaunt this look at the next summer wedding you attend but make sure you add a pair of  huge jhumkas and contrasting glass or metallic bangles to make it more wedding appropriate.

A Regal Green Anamika Khanna lehenga for promotions at big boss . Pairing an ornate lehenga with a cropped and collored front buttoned blouse sonam added a rajwada beck piece to complete the look. I felt this look was incomplete without the dupatta .
Where to wear: If you want to replicate this one then definitely add a cream or gold dupatta. The emerald green is an amazingly rich colour and can be worn for your own reception or sangeet

A biege Shantanu and nikhil lehenga with asymmetrical cut high neck choli looked amazing on sonam kapoor . I dont really like the colour but this is refreshing change from blinged out lehengas we see these days. The silver accesories were just perfect with this lookand the middle parted bun blended in well .
Where to wear: your sangeet or your friends wedding but make sure the event isnt in summer! i have no idea why sonam is obsessed with full sleeeves all through her promotions


Sonam is credited as being a Fashionista and trying looks which are different with a lot of edginess and that is exactly what sonam does in this payal khandwala outfit. A banarsi lehenga paired with contemporary cut out cape top paired with pearl choker , tikka and studs Sonam gives lesson on how to do fusion wear right. 

Where to wear: If you want to blend in traditional with contemporary the dramatic way for any of you pre wedding events try this.

Pink Anju Modi lehenga with cream and teal dupattas made for a fun and feminine look on sonam kapoor. The cut out at the back of the blouse add the required edge. The make up for crisp and the accessories blended in well
Where to wear: To your wedding, reception or even sangeet ! Just play with the dupatta drape to suit the occasion 


White for an indian wedding? trust sonam to inspire you into it! This pure white payal pratap saree was pure elegance . I of course would pair this saree with a different blouse but love the styling, the pop of turquose via the necklace and earrings and soft hairdo  .

Where to wear: This is an ethreal look to experiment with at someones wedding. This will also look great on bride or grooms mom .

Did you enjoy the ethnic looks from sonam kapoor during PRDP promotions? I have to say that all these looks felt a bit too much just for movie promotions and i am waiting to see what sonam kapoor will end up wearing when she gets married!

Cannes 2015: Sonam Kapoor brings drama to the Red Carpet
May 19, 20150 Comments
Iam a Sonam Kapoor Fan girl and it is no secret and obviously it was Sonams Red carpet appearance that i was looking forward to most at Cannes. Sonam always manages to do something different when at cannes  I loved both her red carpet looks from Cannes last year ,  her Anamika Khanna was path breaking  the elie saab was pure elegance. (Catch complete coverage of 2014 here). So what did the desi fashionista turn up in this year? did she live up to her image and expectations? lets find out

Sonam chose an electric blue Ralph Russo Couture gown for her first red carpet appearance at the 'sea of trees' premiere at the Cannes film festival.  The dramatic gown with its balloon like detailing was finished out with chopard earrings, matching sandals and side swept hair.
The blue was striking colour and her hair was done fabulously. The make up is what i had issues with! Ironical how Sonam is at cannes as a make up brands( LO'real) brand ambassador and her make up is what pulled this look notches down. The coral lip doesnt work, her cheeks are over bronzed and her dark circles are on verge of showing up.
The gown itself wasnt my cup of tea, i hated the bottom half of it, the trail wasnt good either but the overdone make up is what really stands out in the wrong way in here. Better make up would mean this look would go up as another of her Epic cannes wins! But as it stands the look was good, Sonam true to her image despite make up issues pulls this off like only she can . I'll take this over boring stuff Katrina wore anyday.

For her second red carpet appearance Sonam Kapoor disappointed big time in an over dramatic lime green Elie Saab Couture. Firstly i was expecting an indian fusion wear like the Anamika saree gown from last year but sonam went for the most disastrous gown out there . The feathered bust was definitely overkill and the hemline wasnt helping either, total Lady Gaga vibes here . Going for middle parted sleek hair also couldnt balance the volume of the gown . Pink lip and chopard earrings finished this look for sonam.

The make in this look was better than the blue gown look but i sonam still looked tired .A better make up could have done wonders! Loreal are you reading? (even Katrinas make up wanst any good BTW) And again Sonam also has her hair coloured, wonder whats happening.

Apart from the red carpet appearances sonam was spotter at after party and press meets where again sonam went overboard , in a nice way that is but her recent excessive boob show bothers me.

For Chef Vikas Khannsa book unvieling sonam showed up in cream Ashi Studio dress with plunging neckline. Loved this look and the styling here. It ofcourse felt a bit too much and bridal too for a book launch but this is Sonam . Also note how fresh she looks here, this is kind of make up her Red carpet deserved.

It was dramatic structured to and skirt by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla for chopard party . I like the styling here but the top itself isnt something i graviate to. But Sonam pulls this off with grace.

Did anyone miss an Anamika Khanna this time? I sure did. Over i have mixed feelings about Sonam at Cannes this year . Her last year was fabulous in comparison.
Which look did you love from sonam on her Cannes 2015 journey?

March 08, 20150 Comments

I love sonam kapoor and that is no secret. I always keep an eye on the stuff she wears and try to copy most of her experiments.

 Sonam Kapoor

Long time back when Sonam was spotted in this chic Dolce and Gabbana red polka dot dress while promoting her movie bewakoofiyaan ( see complete coverage here ) . I instantly loved this looks of hers. It was so simple yet striking and cute.  The hair the make up and the shoes all fit in. The dress? well that was another drool story for me. I love polka dots and i love frills too and this dress had it all except that it was over priced and i couldn't afford it even in my dreams.  :(

D &G Dress

Avirate dress

And then when i was shopping on flipkart i spotted this almost replica of a dress from avirate . This dress may not be an exact copy but it is red, it has polkas and it is gathered and i love those sleeves. The best part? well it was available at a whopping 60% off . What next ? add to cart and  check out! And that is exactly what i did .

The dress wasnt that good when i saw it in person . It is a bit brighter red than what my phone camera captured it for you. but the main issue is its fit at the neck which is too wide. If you want to buy this dress it is now available at a whopping 78% off  here . Go buy now!

Spotlight On The Skirt: Must Have Mini & Midi Skirts of 2014!
January 06, 20150 Comments
spotlight on the skirt
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!
Party must have Mini skirts
1/2/3/4
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!
Must Have Floral Skirts
1/2/3/4
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 !
Must have printed and high low mini skirts
1/2/3/4
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 !
We women love wearing skirts!
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!
mini skirt style
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 !
midi skirt trend by Bollywood divas
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!
Bollywood stars in midi skirts celeb style
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 !
sonam midi skirt look
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

Trend Talk: Sari with Cape
December 04, 20140 Comments

tc

The versatile sari is being spiced up in many ways to make it stand out out. While there are many edgy ways to style the six yards, one which has caught my attention is wearing cape over it.

Sonam Kapoor (who else?) started it off at Cannes Red carpet with her Anamika  Khanna saree gown which was finished of with a sheer cape over it.

Adding a cape is a great way to give the traditional saree a modern twist and make your look stand out.

Cannes 2014 sighting: Sonam Kapoor WOWS in fusion fashion - Rediff.com Movies

Recently at Bulgari Launch event sonam kapoor wore another anamika khanna saree with a cape. I totally loved this look head to toe (and blogged it on my blog, read detailed post here ) and decided to do more research on this trend and voila this post was born Open-mouthed smile.  It isnt only Anamika Khanna who has been playing with this trend . Masaba gupta also projected a version of the printed cape on a saree in her recent collection. This months Harpers Bazaar Bride features kareen kapoor khan in cape by gaurav gupta over a black saree.

The cape is just not limited bollywood, South indian actress Samantha also wore a beaded cape over a royal blue saree at an event. I loved how simple yet striking this look is all thanks to the cape.

The cape can look very both chic and royal if done rightly. Sonam Kapoor wore this elle sabb shrug kind of cape over a pink saree and looked Ethereal in it. I also love this gorgeous jeweled Cape on saree, by Monisha jaising at Delhi Couture Week . blingy and jewelled capes like this over a saree could easily make you stand out as a guest in a wedding reception.

THE BEAUTY hotlist - Makeup Bites : Get your makeup right.
December 03, 20140 Comments
The BeautyHollist : Makeup bites( Bling sparkle)
Have you ever looked at someone at a wedding and gaped at them starting from their shoes and then when you come to their face you wrinkle your nose in dis appreciation? No, I am not being racist but what I am talking here is about the inappropriate makeup ! So many beautiful dresses so little beauty.
I have often seen women who are beautiful wear beautiful dresses still end up looking gross on occasions.
Here are a few makeup tips to keep in mind while keeping the shade of the dress color you are going to wear.
Makeup should be matched appropriately with your attire or else even after so many efforts you’ll end up looking dull , jarred, out of place or like even end up smiling like a Christmas tree.
Here are five things to be kept in mind while doing your makeup so you can get the Makeup that makes you glow!
1. Occasion : It is important your makeup must be appropriate and done according to the occasion. You cannot wearing bold lip color to a temple or a your kids parent teacher meeting, neither can you opt for a soft makedo while attending a wedding. One must know what works for them and what NOT to wear . Smokey eyes would look out of the place if worn on a spring date. Always remember to dress according to the occasion !
2. Audience : This must always be considered, it its for a family function its best you opt for soft lip colors (Or is it just me) For a party you can experiment, for festivity play safe and make sure you are
3. Outfit : If the outfit you are donning is heavy, embellished or f a bold color , opt for soft makeup or just emphasize on feature on your face. Don’t do bold lip color along with heavy eye makeup. trust me it does not work for all.
4. Jewelry : If you are wearing jewelery then cut down on the makeup. Too much  jewelery when paired with a lot of makeup clashes and makes you look like you are trying too hard!
5. Knowledge : Yes. Its very important you know which lip color to pair with the right dress. Know the makeup trends. Don’t be afraid to try something new. And when you wear something wear with confidence.
Along with all of these it is also important that you wear makeup in which you feel comfortable. Don’t opt for a bold lip and then resent it when you reach the venue because you think it makes look harsh or you are scared about people’s opinions. If you think you look lovely, just go for it , if you aren’t comfortable then drop it. Its best to wear makeup that you are happy with. Makeup that is heavy or you are not sure of should always be avoided.
Here are a few pictures where celebs got a ten on ten on their makeup when it came to their outfits.
e3f7d399c06f6312935e08b8a709a720
The perfect makeup on Chitrangana compliments the peachy nude gown perfectly. Just a hint of blush and the open wavy hair does wonders for her!
Yami-Gautam-In-Sonali-Gupta-At-A-Jewelry-Store-Launch-In-Lucknow-1 (1)
Yami gautam with the winged eyeliner and coral peach lip color tops the perfectmakeup look. The dress it was embellished I am glad she kept the makeup sweet and simple.
regina-cassandra-ridhi-mehra-success-meet
Regina in Ridhi Mehra does complete justice when it comes to makeup here ! I wouldn’t want to change anything here ! You can go take a tip or two from here. Always opt out on jewelry and bold lip color when you have a lace soft and vibrant toned dress on you!
tamannaah-bhatia-hema-kaul-ritz-icon-awards-2014
Tamannah looks like doll ! No its not just the dress but the makeup too adds tp the doll factor ! Sweet ruby pink lip color and a flowy gown ! *girl crushing happening*
sophie-choudry-sonaakshi-raaj-store-launch
Sophie Chaudary is one woman who never fails to deliver the best when it comes to makeup. this is one of her recent appearances and do I have to tell she looks lovely!
sonakshi-sinha-manish-malhotra-arpita-aayush-reception
Sonakshi excels the makeup here! Given the dress itself was heavy and stark red , Sonakshi opting for light nude pink lip color and minimal jewelry makes the whole outcome lovely!
neha-dhupia-shantanu-nikhil-bollywood-gala-night-malaysia-700x593
Neha dhupia is one star who knows what she is doing . Always. Love her flawless makeup here.
kangana-ranaut-varun-bahl-anarkali-622x600
Soft makeup with an updo is now the way to go , which was what Kangana does here! Nude lip color with greys and pinks is the new makeup trend ! Next time you want to try the nude lip color you know which color to wear !
BRSzsr9CEAAYAcD
Always trust sonam kapoor to rock every makeup look she dons. Loving her makeup here!
Until next time.
najm love end
