Best Off-Screen Looks of Katrina Kaif

By Nidhal

When she gyrates, she holds you transfixed. When she shows off her curves, she holds you transfixed. When she sets her foot on the red carpet, she holds you transfixed. The lady may not rank high on the charts of film connoisseurs and critics but she surely knows how to be the talk of the town thanks to her high-octane dance moves, angelic visage and enviable body/curves. She’s none other than the statuesque Katrina Kaif. Let us have a rundown of her Best Off-screen looks now.

1. IN REBECCA TAYLOR- Bringing a boho vibe to her off-screen avatars, Katrina opted for a printed block print maxi dress by Rebecca Taylor that had sheer mesh inserts as well as cut out sleeves during one of the promotional events of Fitoor opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor. With her luscious locks let loose and nude makeup, she was an out-and- out head-turner at the event.

2. IN DOLCE AND GABBANA- Clad in a lemon print off shoulder dress from Dolce and Gabbana, Katrina set out to promote Fitoor. Accessorising it with embellished beige pumps from Charles and Keith, she added a pair of gold earrings from Loupe Kat looked like a diva. Not to forget red lips complement her look very well.

3. IN BODICE- Giving everyone a peak-a- boo to her chiselled and absolutely enviable abs, Katrina draped herself in polka printed culottes from Bodice by Ruchika Sachdeva. She teamed it up with a white crop top by Dhruv Kapoor and matching sneakers. The look delineates comfort, chicness and ease, doesn’t it? Sassy without even trying, that’s what bursts upon my mind on seeing this look of hers.

4. IN MSGM- Swathed in a knitted bandage dress from MSGM‘s resort 2016 collection paired with Eytys white sneakers styled by Tanya Ghavri, the statuesque lass looked drop-dead gorgeous during one of the promotional events for Fitoor.

5. IN AN AZZEDINE ALAIA DRESS- Clad in a blush pink fit and flare dress by Azzedine Alaia, Katrina was spotted at the Mehboob Studios in Mumbai where she shot for a TV commercial. This lady takes minimalism to a whole new level and makes sure that it looks mesmeric too.

6. IN ROKSANDA- The sultry Katrina Kaif unleashed her chirpy and effervescent facet as she swaddled herself in a Roksanda cutout jumpsuit and black leather sneakers during one of the promotional legs of Baar Baar Dekho in the capital with her co-star Siddharth Malhotra. Simple, subtle and sizzling… this look is the exemplar of comfort.

7. IN JILL STUART- Going all out with bright vivid colours, Katrina looks easy on one’s eyes in a Jill Stuart outfit. Despite sporting colours which when teamed up may look gaudy or garish, the lady sashays in aplomb. A special mention goes to her Isharya earrings that are the perfect cherry on the cake.

Editor’s Note: Loved each of the seven, I can’t pick one! I absolutely love her style, very minimal and effortless.

Every sister would want to deck up and to choose the best outfit for her brother or sister’s wedding. Well, gone are the days when saree and lehenga are the only options.

There is a variety of ethnic options available to you to rock your brother or sister’s wedding. After all, you are the bridesmaid! Let’s have a look at the wedding dresses.

I recently saw Sonam Kapoor wearing a gorgeous off-white lehenga with golden embroidery work for her cousin brother Akshay Marwah’s big fat Punjabi wedding. the color was soothing yet was glamorous.

Pair up an Off Shoulder Top with a beautiful traditional statement necklace and long skirt. Make sure that the skirt is flowy, has embroidery and traditional touch to it. This would easily balance out the Off Shoulder Top and add a wonderful contemporary touch to the ensemble.

Bollywood Ladies Who Rock Dungarees

Bollywood Ladies Who Rock Dungarees

By Nidhal

I remember the last time I wore it or more appositely, was made to wear it was more than a decade ago when I about to enter my teens. That piece of clothing made me look as if I had been wrapped in a sack (of potatoes). In one word- AWKWARD. I vowed never to fall prey to my mother’s persuasion/emotional gas-lighting ever until a few months ago, I saw a number of Tinseltown ladies step out in sheer panache swathed in “those”. And now that I have seen HOW to sport them, my interest in owning a couple of them has increased by leaps and bounds.

Need a clue as to what am I alluding at? Take a look at the title of the post. Got it? Yes, it is the DUNGAREE that has made a comeback into the limelight in an all-new avatar 🙂

Need to see the ladies who changed my perception of them? There you go!

1. KANGANA RANAUT- Do I need to say anything about her fashion and sartorial choices even a little? This lady has changed the rules of fashion and how! Once a plain Jane, now a fashionista who carries anything and everything as if it’s tailor-made for her, Kangana sports a rugged look replete with a pair of beige shoes, cap and a graphic tee that shows off her faded pair of dungaree perfectly. Add to that her inherent swag and we go ‘Banno Tera Swagger Laage Saixy’ all over again!

2. PRACHI DESAI- As cute as a button, Prachi Desai opts for a pair of denim dungarees, sleeveless black top, boots and a funky pair of shades that transmogrifies her into a smoldering diva instantly.

3. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- With her immaculate sartorial choices and toned body, it didn’t come as a surprise that this Desi Girl opted for a full top-to- bottom dungaree that she teamed up with stiletto ballerinas. Needless to say, she looked fresh as a daisy and made sure that both the shutterbugs as well as the fashion police have a whale of their time.

4. YAMI GAUTAM – Yami just brought her girl-next- door to the forefront with this look. Swaddled in a pair of thigh –length dungarees teamed up with a simple black top underneath and Adidas sneakers, this look was simple, youthful and breezy.

5. ALIA BHATT – A personal favourite of mine in this list, Alia delineates vibrancy, chirpiness and pertness like no other. Teaming a pair of denim dungarees with a light pink top and white sneakers with her luscious hair let loose, Alia defined the art of easy and comfortable yet chic dressing. The only flaw? Her expression. Why so serious, Alia? You look winsome 🙂

6. KRITI SANON – This kid on the block is making all the right noises, especially when it comes to her sartorial choices. Opting for a pair of tube dungarees for an event with colour blocked heels, Kriti looked effortlessly funky.

7. KATRINA KAIF – That Katrina doesn’t like to accessorise much is a no-brainer. What we do not know about her is that her dressing can be as easy and comfort-oriented that we can conveniently borrow those tricks from her. Seen here is the lady swathed in a pair of dungarees with a casual tee, sneakers and plaid tee. That’s one look a lot of us including me, can live in forever.

Editor’s Note: My dungaree memory, when I was in school and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai had released, Kajol brought back the dungarees and I owned one then. I used to love it. Love Alia and Katrina’s dungarees here which are more boyfriend style and comfortable.

Do you own/like dungarees? Your favourite look?

Trendy Suit Sets for Everyday Wear

Trendy Suit Sets for Everyday Wear

Hi guys,

Suit sets look pretty good whether in office or just casual everyday wear and some even for family get-togethers and light functions.

Also the best part about suit sets is that you can mix and match them and wear the bottom and dupatta with your other kurtis too.

I think suit sets are amazing for office as they look formal but are yet comfortable and pretty. I found some pretty good suits for women online.

Here are my picks..

1. Off White Cotton Kalidar Suit Set

I absolutely love this! White always looks pretty, more so with florals. This red floral print on the white dress with the white net palazzos and red geomtric print dupatta makes for a perfect combination.

2. Peach Cotton Kalidar Suit

I love the color peach, this one is perfect for summers. Kalis look elegant and feminine and the matching churidar and crushed dupatta go well with it. The kurti has gold work towards the bottom, and this is something which you can wear for family functions too.

3. Turquoise Straight Pant Suit

Again a beautiful pastel turquoise color with bursts of other pastels in it, perfect for summer. The straight fit style gives it a Pakistani suit look. Makes for great office wear.

4. Orange/Pink Cotton Kurta Set

Orange cotton voile printed kalidar kurta with embroidery on the placket, paired with solid churidar and printed pink dupatta. I love orange and pink combination. The geometric print in pink on the orange kurta overall with the mirror work on the border of the dupatta and the neckline of kurti merges really well.

5. Blue Cotton Leheriya Churidar

Leheriya printed straight fit blue kurta in cotton voile paired with white churidar and printed dupatta bordered in pink. Leheriya is evergreen, something that will never go out of trend. The crushed white and blue dupatta with the pink border looks very pretty.

These were some of my picks, as you saw some had basic color churidhars and dupattas too which you can combine with your other kurtis. I feel 2-3 of these suit sets are must have in our wardrobes.

What do you think? Do you like suit sets?

7 Times Katrina Kaif Scorched the Screen With Her Abs

7 Times Katrina Kaif Scorched the Screen With Her Abs

By Nidhal

I remember the first time I heard of abs was in 2009.Om Shanti Om starring SRK and Deepika Padukone was about to hit the theatres. Promotions of the flick were inescapable. The star cast was practically everywhere- on each and every TV show, radio show, newspapers and internet. And adding to the hysteria was SRK’s dance number ‘Dard-E- Disco’ which had him flaunt his six-pack abs.

The flick released amidst a lot of fanfare and hue and cry (remember the Manoj Kumar versus Farah/SRK controversy?). The rest is history. We know how it set cash registers ringing at the Box Office. A year or two later, Aamir Khan came with his 8-pack abs in Ghajni and then, lead me into believing that abs are men’s domain.

But one day, Katrina Kaif happened and bwoy, her abs got me smitten the way no male actor’s did 🙂 So, here is to this statuesque lady’s well-toned abs – 7 times Katrina Kaif scorched the screen with her abs.

1. AT THE IPL’S OPENING CEREMONY- The ninth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicked off with a star-studded opening ceremony in 2016. With international names such as Chris Brown and Major Lazer performing alongside Bollywood A-listers, all what grabbed the maximum limelight was Katrina’s well-toned abs as she danced energetically. In fact, Ranveer Singh was compelled to mouth,” Give it up for Katrina’s abs”. Well, appositely said, Ranveer.

2. WHEN ON THE RAMP FOR MANISH MALHOTRA’S FASHION SHOW- B-town hot-property Aditya Roy Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were the perfect show stoppers for designer Manish Malhotra, who launched his collection ‘The Regal Threads’ in January. Walking the ramp in a silver Manish Malhotra lehenga, Katrina swept us off our feet with her perfect abs.

3. ON THE COVER OF GQ INDIA- Setting temperatures soaring with her abs making a no-holds barred appearance on the cover of GQ India, Katrina is a sight to behold (and desire)!

4. IN ‘EK THA TIGER’S’ SONG ‘MASHA-ALLAH’- As she swayed to the tunes of ‘Mashallah’ in the Salman Kahn-starrer Ek Tha Tiger in 2013, Katrina’s abs compel you to slobber.

5. IN ‘CHIKNI CHAMELI’- An out-and- out desi item number as it was, Chikni Chameli not only gave us the hook step of the year but also a chance to feast our eyes to this damsel’s chiselled abs.

6. IN ‘TEES MAAR KHAN’- Rome was not built in a day and so can be said about Kat’s abs which here, are in the process of becoming the weapons of mass destruction that they have turned out to be now. Katrina’s abs look sultry in this dance number from Tees Maar Khan.

7. IN ‘KALA CHASHMA’ FROM BAAR BAAR DEKHO- And here comes the song that has given us a full-blown no-holds barred view of this sultry lass’ chiselled abs that have overshadowed everything in the frame point blank. You have to admit it, you got ‘body goals’ after seeing Kat’s abs in the song ‘Kala Chashma’ from Baar Baar Dekho. As far as her co-star is concerned, sorry Siddharth but we didn’t even notice you. Your leading lady and her abs took away all the spotlight and rightly so 🙂

Editor’s Note: Well we all love Katrina’s Killer Abs. She is truly a fitness goal, considering how chubby she was in her earlier movies like ‘Partner’. She has come a long way!

Do you desire Katrina’s Killer Abs?

Best Off Screen Looks of Shraddha Kapoor

By Nidhal

Sometimes, miracles happen overnight. It required just one film to catapult Shraddha Kapoor to the status of an overnight sensation. With forgettable box-office duds like ‘Teen Patti’ and ‘Luv Ka The End’ in the past, Aashiqui2 opposite the dashing debonairhunk- Aaditya Roy Kapoor, came as a much-needed kiss of life to Shraddha. A few years down the line and the perky Marathi mulgi (as she considers herself more a Marathi than a Punjabi) is riding hide on the success of a number of her flicks. It’s hard to turn a blind eye to her effervescence, charm, vivaciousness and girl-next- door avatars. Let us feast our eyes to the Best off-screen looks of this pert actress then, shall we? 🙂

1. DURING ABCD2 PROMOTIONS – Tanya Ghavri has styled Shraddha for her ABCD 2 promo tour and looks like she took her task with utmost seriousness. Pairing a Hemant & Nandita creation with Zara flats, Shraddha looked her usual chirpy self. And not to forget her tousled brown locks look drool- worthy.

2. ALL SUITED UP- The ebullient Shraddha Kapoor’s feminine spin on the power suit is simply put-Style goals. The colour with zero accessories and nude makeup makes this look an out-and- out hit.

3. DURING THE HAIDER PROMOTIONS- And here comes the girl who no guy would think twice before popping the question. Carrying this beige look with sheer aplomb, Shraddha rocks in a soft, feminine dress and rounds it off with wavy hair.

4. UNLEASHING THE TOMBOY WITHIN- The livewire Shraddha, for the promotion of ABCD 2 attended an episode of the dance reality show- DID Super Moms with her ABCD2 co-star Varun Dhawan in a Gas grey denims and jacket with a white Zara graphic tee. Opting for a casual look, she completed her look by keeping her hair in a sleek ponytail, bracelets and a pair of gold Adidas sneakers. Talk of going funky and miss out Shraddha? Naah, that is just not happening anytime soon.

5. GOING BOHO CHIC- Going boho chic, Shraddha opts for a causal look in an Urvashi Kaur outfit. She completes it with a pink top and gypsy pants with a statement neckpiece by Blur designs, Gucci sandals and a quirky ombre hairdo. Certainly, my top pick out of all her looks.

6. FOR BAAGHI PROMOTONS- Sparkling in a Prabal Gurung black and blue blocked dress during the promotional tour of Baaghi, Shraddha kept her look minimal. She opted for side swept locks and black ankle strap sandals which rounded off her look.

7. UNLEASHING THE FEMININE SIDE- Swaddled in in DvF and Zara for the promotions of Haider on India’s Raw Star, Shraddha looked effortlessly stylish and chic. Not going overboard in styling is her USP. Have a look at her feline eyes and you’ll be transfixed.

Editor’s Note: All her outfits are so pretty and feminine, can relate to her style. Loved the 1st and 3rd dress.

Kurtis for Different Occasions & How to Pair Them

Hi guys,

Today I am talking about kurtis, how versatile kurtis are and there is one kurti for every occasion.

When it comes to the well-defined ‘Indian wear’, the first thing that comes to our mind while walking towards the closet is Kurti. This fashion trend never goes off and one of the best smart casual wear. In fact, Kurtis are so versatile that you can wear them for college, office, family events, day-out, party wear and literally every way you prefer.

Kurtis can be made adaptable with various styles like short or medium length, from various materials of cloth and the embroidery as well. thus, the exclusive designs, elaborate patterns, various hues and appealing shades blended with western as well as Indian styles has made Kurti so popular as a fashion trend. There are various reason to love them, different ways to pair them up.

I came across this site ‘Rangriti’ and they have such gorgeous kurtis. There is one for each occasion from work to more casual wear to more dressy ethnic. I have picked a few here and highlighted which can be worn for what occasion.

1. Yellow Short Kurti

Now this one is so colorful! I love the yellow and pink combination and the pom pom bead tie-ups. This is more of a casual wear. You can team it with denims or a nice, long, flared skirt. If going for a casual brunch, then with denims and if for some wedding related function like a mehendi, this would look perfect with a flared skirt in pink.

2. Indigo Blue mid length kurti

This will work with a white churidar for work and even a white skirt/palazzos for a more boho look. Team it with feather/beads/colorful accessories for a casual boho chic look.

3. Mustard yellow long kurti

Now this one can be a little dressy. Team it with a black churidar and maybe even a heavy dull gold work dupatta and you can wear it for a wedding.

There are so many ways to wear a kurti and one can dress it up or dress it down on teaming with correct bottoms and accessories. I love kurtis and have so many different styles of them in my wardrobe.

I love online shopping and the variety of kurtis available online these days is amazing. Also at very affordable prices. I would highly recommend to buy kurtis online.

What is your favourite way to wear a kurti? Do you go boho chic with kurtis? Let me know some of your ideas in the comments below.

Best Off-Screen Looks of Kriti Sanon

By Nidhal

Within a span of merely two years, Kriti Sanon has catapulted herself to the status of the ‘Next Big Thing’ in Tinsel-town. A model-turned- actress who ventured into the glamorous and glitzy world of movies, Kriti began her career with modelling initially and then, signed some flicks down South.

Making inroads into Tinsel-town with Heropanti opposite Tiger Shroff and then, starring in the commercial potboiler ‘Dilwale’ with superstars SRK and Kajol, opposite Varun Dhawan, Kriti has her kitty full with many flicks.

And who better than Kriti to prove it? Swaddled in a pair of jet black denims with a casual plaid shirt and hair lustrous locks let loose, Kriti gives us major style goals with her sartorial sense.

2. AT THE LAUNCH OF ‘MANMA EMOTION’ SONG- Opting for an H & M shirt, Zara dress, VANS shoes and rings by KOOVS, Kriti dazzled at the song launch of ‘Manma Emotion’ from Dilwale. With minimal makeup and her hair done up neatly, she posed for a pretty picture.

3. DURING HEROPANTI PROMOTIONS- Opting for a bodycon dress from Bebe for the promotion of Heropanti in Chandigarh, Kriti goes simple and looks exquisite. The attire surely complements her slender frame and skin tone.

4. SHOWCASING HER STREET STYLE- Looking chic in a grey tank and ankle-length ripped jeans, Kriti left for Hyderabad to shoot for the final schedule of her then impending movie- Dilwale. She accessorised her look with black sunglasses, white sneakers, tan belt and a shoulder bag.

5. IN ‘NOT SO SERIOUS’ BY PALLAVI MOHAN- Sporting a multi-print dress by Pallavi Mohan for another promotional event of Dilwale, Kriti looked poised and pert. With a pair of metallic oxfords from Aldo and her poker-straight tresses let loose, she completed her look.

6. KEEPING THINGS CASUAL- With a heart patterned sweatshirt from Shahin Mannan that was styled with denims and metallic sneakers, Kriti posed for a picture. Certainly, not going overboard is her mantra and we see her keeping things casual but chic.

7. IN A ‘FALGUNI AND SHANE PEACOCK’ DRESS- Kriti opted for a gorgeous feathery long black dress by Falguni and Shane peacock during one of the promotional events of Dilwale. The accessorised her look with a pair of diamond studs while going minimal in the makeup department.

Editor’s Note: I loved all her casual looks, especially the Pallavi Mohan dress.

Winter Fashion Essentials for Men

By Sanchita

Hello everyone.

The long summer is gone and it is getting pretty much cold day-by-day. Even though winter is for a very short time in India, it is about time to pack up those light weight cotton and linen clothing and bring out the jackets, scarfs and hoodies. If you thought women are the only ones who are interested in seasonal clothing and men don’t care at all, you are absolutely wrong. Men are more conscious of their attire and they like to be well quipped as well. Thus, we are going to going through the bang on-trends for 2016 to start working on a guy’s winter fashion game.

The only thing that comes to our mind when we think of winter is – jackets. From leather to shearling – it is a style statement in itself and a must have clothing item in the wardrobe of every man. The key to nailing winter style is to layer pieces of various fabrics to keep you warm without the bulk. Thus, layering can make you look stylish and impressive at the same time. Some winter jackets for men available include hooded, leather, long woolen ones, trench coat and others.

• Hooded Jackets –

A black hooded down jacket is a must have for a man’s wardrobe. It must be light weight jacket but should protect you from winter and keep the look trendy as well. The jacket is also a versatile one and works seamlessly with a number of outfits as well. You can layer over a shirt, t-shirt, etc. For jackets, you can also opt for the colours like Black, Brown and Blue. It will give you the perfect style statements for those winter treks, hike and outdoor sport and adventure activities.

• Duffle Bags –

How convenient are the convertible duffle bags? Yes, it is another must-have as well. Winter is the perfect time for trekking and other adventures. Men prefer to keep multitaskers at hand and hate to carry several elaborate things. So, a convertible duffle bag to a backpack is a versatile option to look out for. These are extremely sturdy and makes it easier to stash away all your essentials.

• Check pattern –

Check pattern is another savvy style stamen for the men. Mostly they prefer them over prints and patterns. Thus, subtle checks patterned shirts are extremely popular and can be easily own as a formal wear as well. The trend to the street with grunge-inspired checked outerwear and block color are also some style to look out for.

• Shearling coats –

Shearling coats is a cult classic for men. This is the perfect pick for winters and various brands have come up with their own style and cut. Also, Shearling coats are available in different models, styles and fabric combinations. Shearling is basically made from sheared sheep or lamb or from synthetic fibre. It is affordable and there’s nothing softer and cozier than wool in the colder months.

• Leather jackets –

How can your wardrobe be complete without leather jackets? It has become a symbol of a symbol of rebel culture and ruggedness. Leather jackets are a wardrobe essential that every man can pull off. These are perfect for transitional weather as well as colder months. It has such amazing versatility which allows you to use them in a casual outfit or to smart up your style with just a few simple twists.

• Cardigan –

Whoever said cardigans aren’t manly, haven’t seen a man style it well. The style of cardigan has come a long way since the 1850’s. Various fashion designers have been trying out this style and makes it look brilliantly smart and casual. . This multi-purpose piece of fashion apparel can be worn with a suit and tie, and will look as stylish when worn with either a smart polo shirt – buttoned up of course – or a plain t-shirt on a warm summer evening.

• Scarfs –

Scarf is another fashion statement for men and the best way to deck up for the fall and winter time. Whether a man wears a scarf with casual jeans or a suit, it adds a stylish element and charm to the personality. There are various ways to tie a scarf and you can wear it for both formal and casual occasions. It’s also a good rule of thumb to keep the rest of the outfit simple so it isn’t competing with the scarf for attention.

So, how do you think you are going to carry out the winter look this year?
