Who Wore What- IIFA Awards 2014 and the Green Carpet

So after the press conference, promotions and pre- events which I covered HERE, lets move on to the main awards IIFA 2014.

My hits and misses..

1. Jahnvi Kapoor in D & G

Jahnvi chose a Dolce & Gabbana full skirted dress and strappy sandals..with a soft, messy updo. Cute, I did say.

2. Parineeti Chopra in Nikhil Thampi

Pari chose this one shoulder peach Nikhil Thampi gown..the color is good..but is it not a little too simple ? I did not like the Rahul Mishra one sheer skirt though..did not flatter her figure..this is atleast better.

3. Kalki in Gaurav Gupta

Kalki in a grey Gaurav Gupta gown with silver detailing all over. No, a little too much..plus the color is too dull on her.

4. Yami Gautam in Gauri and Nainika

Yami in this monochrome Gauri Nainika gown..though it screams high school..but she always looks cute !

5. Dia Mirza in Sabyasachi

Dia looked amazing in this pink and gold ombre Sabyasachi embellished gown with Amrapali jewellery..that dress is stunning !

6. Gauahar Khan in Ken Ferns

Gauahar in a red Ken Ferns gown..is it Christmas already ?! Did not like the silhouette too.

7. Kareena Kapoor in Armani

Kareena chose this black sheer panel Armani dress..a little too bold..but she pulled it off quiet well !

8. Sridevi in Oscar De La Renta

Sridevi chose this black shimmery Oscar De La Renta gown..perfect makeup, hair updo and studs..she looks ravishing !

9. Priyanka Chopra in Monique Lhuillier

PC chose this embellished nude Monique Lhuillier gown..smokey eyes and an elegant updo..she looked great.

10. Sonakshi Sinha in Amit Aggarwal

Shimmery Navy Blue Amit Aggarwal gown, Bottega Veneta clutch, soft wavy hair..Sonakshi looked quiet good.

11. Deepika Padukone in Zuhair Murad

Dippy chose a Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad red lace gown..I liked the gown..but the berry lip :/ Does not work with this at all.

12. Dia Mirza in Halston Heritage

Beautiful peachy orange pleated Halston Heritage gown, Jimmy Choo clutch and an Amrapali multi chained layered necklace..Dia looks stunning here !

12. Madhuri Dixit in Sonaakshi Raaj

Again a Sonaakshi Raaj after Bipasha in white..this time Madhuri chose a different color..and I am glad..coz that color looks amazing on her..loved it. (Both these Sonaakshi Raaj outfits are from the recent Lakme Fashion Week S/R 2014..and I had attended this show)

13. Swara Bhaskar in BCBG

Swara chose this coral BCBG illusion panel dress..I like how the illusion panel works on her..nice..

14. Kareena in Armani

Kareena chose a Giorgio Armani again..separates here..a beaded white top and velvet paneled skirt..bright orange lips completed the look.

Also there were many blacks ! Madhuri chose a black Jatin Varma and Malaika a Shivan Narresh, Bipasha a Rocky S..too many black gowns seen !

I loved Sridevi, Madhuri, Kareena, Dia and Priyanka !

So, whats your pick ? Whose outfit did you like the most ?

OOTD: Leopard Print Crop Top, Blue Pencil Skirt

OOTD: Leopard Print Crop Top, Blue Pencil Skirt

Hey everyone,

I am back with an OOTD..so crop tops are like so IN these days..and they are everywhere..at Forever 21, you will only see crop tops ! And the young girls these days are loving the trend..

Here in this outfit, I paired a leopard print crop top with a navy blue pencil skirt..and black ankle strap wedges and a crocodile print black bag.

Since the crop top was the main piece of attraction here and its high neck, I did not add any statement necklace..just some gold midi rings a hollow gold bracelet.

I am in loveee with these black ankle strap suede wedges..they are so comfy..I have danced 2 hrs in them ! I can literally live in them..and they look so chic <3 Also available in blue and white..

Some tips on wearing a crop top:

  • Pair it with pencil skirt/midi skirt/palazzos
  • Don’t wear it if you are apple shaped or have extra love handles
  • Show only a little bit of skin, if you are not too comfy
  • And if you are not comfy showing any skin, you can layer it over a tank/camisole (If you have seen my outfit on Instagram, I wore a striped crop top layered over a basic tank)

So yes, go and rock the crop top ! If you wear a crop top, do tag me on twitter or facebook or Instagram 🙂

Crop Top: HERE
Wedges: HERE
Skirt, Bag, Accessories: Romwe

On Lips: Revlon Lacquer Balm in Tease

Who Wore What: IIFA Press Con, Promotions, IIFA Rocks- 2014

So, the IIFA Awards 2014 events have begun..and this time its in Tampa Bay, USA. As we see what the celebs have been wearing at the airport, at the IIFA press conference, promotions all over the US, IIFA Rocks (The Fashion show by Manish Malhotra for Mijwan Society) and of course the main Awards as and when they happen.

For now, I have picked up few hits and misses from the pre-events for you guys..do let me know your thoughts..

1. Kareena Kapoor at the Press Conference

She wore Anand Kabra separates..monochrome does work here..but one thing that glams up the outfit totally is the Maheep Kapoor Statement Necklace..goes with the embroidery on the sleeves..she finished it with YSL sandals..the look works for her.

2. Vidya Balan at IIFA promotions in NY

Vidya Balan wore a Satya Paul checkered sari with an orange long jacket blouse..and Manish Arora Earrings from Amrapali collection..ok, so there have been two views on this..some like it, some hate it..For me, this look totally works..the bright orange totally pops the checkered monochrome..and though she has been wearing sarees always, this one is an Indo-western kinda fusion..which looks amazing in my opinion.

3. Priyanka Chopra at IIFA Promotions

PC wore this Dior outfit, Isharya earrings and Valentino pumps..orange again here..I like the pop of orange..dress is ok..But I hate that brown/wine lips..can’t PC just lose them ??!

4. Sonakshi Sinha at IIFA Promotions

Sonakshi wore this black DKNY LBD with cut-out accents, nude peep toes and Bansri earrings..she wore her hair in soft waves..very normal and average..

5. Nimrat Kaur at IIFA Rocks

Nimrat wore a neon orange strapless midi dress with nude pumps..ok this is very Barbie dollish ! But, she did manage to pull it off decently well.

6. Vaani Kapoor at IIFA Rocks

Vaani wore multi print high neck Diva’ni dress, metallic pumps and Eina Ahluwalia earrings. What was she thinking ? Its like..wayy too much going on !

7. Priyanka Chopra at IIFA Rocks

PC wore a Prabal Gurung sheath dress and matching pumps..and Jaipur gems jewellry..and and and she wore a bright lip ! Finally ! And that suits her so well..why is she stuck to browns :/

8. Yami Gautam at IIFA Rocks

Yami wore a Clover Canyon flared dress and Joe’s nude pumps with a see-through Kotur clutch..I loved the hair too..I think she looks cute..

9. Bipasha Basu at IIFA Rocks

Bips chose this Gaurav Gupta plunging neckline metallic gown and Farah Khan Ali earrings..and sported a faux bob..Though its way too metallic and I am not sure how would it look on anyone else (Except Deepika..she pulls off everything), Bips managed to carry it.

10. Aditi Rao Hydari at IIFA Rocks

Aditi chose this oxblood Narendra Kumar suit and berry sandals..she looks chic..

Whose look did you like the most ?

Must-have Shoes for Spring

Some must-have shoes for spring

Guest Post

There are some fresh spring footwear styles emerging that consumers may seek out at their favorite local shoe retailer, or they may easily access through online shoe sites. There are a few distinct styles that will be seen on feet throughout the summer and into fall, and that are a great fashion investment for those that may be looking to enhance their season’s wardrobe with practical, affordable footwear.

Stylish sneakers

Sneakers are the timeless item that can really make or break a spring and summer ensemble. Having supportive, stylish sneakers is something that any consumer can benefit from, and there are some cool, sporty styles coming to vendors this spring. Brands such as New Balance, Adidas, and Converse are among some of the treads that people of all ages love to wear, and that provide the quality wear and durability sought in a great sneaker. Some other new sneaker looks? The cool and unconventional style of Vibram FiveFingers footwear makes these very popular shoes this spring, as well.

Vintage Sperry’s

Sperry Top-siders and boat shoes have been a cool fashion staple in past years, but they are coming back with a vengeance. New colors, cool materials, and stylish detail make Sperry’s a quintessential footwear icon that everyone should have in their repertoire. Kids get in on the action too with their own line of youth sized Sperry’s, including the vintage styles made so popular decades ago.

Casual Crocs

Unless you have worn a pair of Croc’s, than you don’t really know what comfort truly feels like. These comfortable, convenient shoes are perfect for working in the garden, playing on the beach, or tossing on to head out to the store. The colors, detailing, and embellishments have expanded from the convention of the Croc’s clog to include some cool and trendy styles, including sandals and athletic variations. There are many kid-friendly Croc’s that feature some of their favorite cartoon characters too!

Foul-weather boots

Everyone needs to buy at least one pair of rain or foul-weather boots for their closet, and there are some impressive options awaiting spring shoppers. Familiar names, associated with quality footwear, offer the tried-and-true favorites that will hold up to any spring showers. Doc Maarten’s, Ugg of Australia, and Minnetonka offer the styles and models of boots that consumers have been choosing to pair with favorite apparel for years. The name indicates quality, and some online shoppers may find alluring price differentials when buying from internet-based shoe retailers.

Dresses For The Mother of the Bride
Guest Post
Dresses for the mother of the bride are a very important part of pulling together a wedding. While the wedding parties may be large or small, they cannot go on without the mother of the bride. The mother of the bride is the person who must look the most stately. This means that she should be in a dress that allows her to look her best without looking matronly. The best mother of the bride dresses are the dresses that allow the lady to look sleek and slim without making her look to flamboyant. Many times, this is a hard fit to make because there are not many dresses on the market that will help the mother of the bride look her best.
The bride who wants her mother to look her best at the wedding can learn more by investigating the best types of dresses for her mother to wear at the wedding. This could include long, draped dresses that are slightly fitted to shorter dresses that are not quite as fitted and everything in between. The combination of the right fit and length is what is going to the mother of the bride the best look possible when she is sitting at the wedding and all during the reception.
The best gowns for the mother of the bride also must give her a color scheme that is going to look nice with the theme for the wedding. Without this connection to the theme of the wedding, it is hard for the mother of the bride to fit in at the wedding, and it is very important for her to fit in when she is the person who is one of the most important people at the ceremony.
Also, the mother of the bride must be in a gown that allows her to look her age without making her look too old for her personal taste. The best gowns of this type are going to flatter the lady’s figure while also giving her a chance to accessorize and look amazing. Many mothers of the bride look amazing because they choose a gown that is easy to accessorize and even easier to fit into once the big day comes. These gowns are of vital importance to the lady who must look her best and support her daughter on the biggest day of her life.

Lakme Absolute Salon at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 14

So as most of you must be knowing (and for those who don’t) there is this Lakme Absolute Salon everytime at Lakme Fashion Week..where girls get hair,makeup and nails done..
This time for nails and eyes there were these recently launched Illusion range..
Did you read about the new Lakme Absolute Illusion Limited Edition Range HERE ? I have the swatches of the all 5 eye shadows also for you guys..that saved for the next post..for now..check out this gorgeous metallic nail paints..
The eye shadows are priced at Rs.750/- and the nail paints at Rs.200/-
Four shades that are a part of Illusion Range are:
  • Ethereal
  • Desire
  • Illusion
  • Fantasy

I got the nails done in the shade ‘Illusion’. This is the nail section..

Illusion is a metallic lilac silver..one prettty shade it is ! I loved it..in fact all four shades in this range look great..
There is a hair makeover section and a makeup section too..Remember my hair last time (see HERE)
This time since the Salon was set up inside Hyatt itself..heat could not be used and hence there were only upstyles and braids..which I was not too keen on..so did not go for the hair makeover this time..only got my nails done..
I attended the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass (Read about it HERE) and 2 shows-
Papa Don’t Preach/ Ken Ferns/ Gaga/ Sonaakshi Raaj (Ken Ferns’ Showstopper was Gauahar Khan and Sonaakshi Raaj’s Showstopper was Prachi Desai)
Anushkha Khanna/ Ashdeen/ Zhen & Mossi

OOTD: Half Lace Blue And White Dress
 
Hey everyone,
I am back with an OOTD after a long time..this time I wore this half lace half flared blue and white dress to my friend’s cocktail party..
I love how its half and lace and half like a normal flared high low uneven skirt..with a belt..looks like a separate skirt and top too..

It came with a black belt..and I kept the belt same..I paired it with a neon and bright diamante necklace ( I love this piece to bits..its one of my favorites ! ), a gold hollow cut out bracelet and set of gold rings..

And this super awesome colorful printed pumps..I loved these shoes..but did not expect them the heels to be sooo high..I seriously cannot walk comfortably in them..also may be coz there is no platform at the front..and the foot remains totally curved.. (How the hell do these actresses run, jump and dance in those heels 😮

Dress, Necklace, Bracelet, Rings: Romwe
Shoes: Lovelyshoes
I hope you liked the outfit..do let me know in the comments below..
