In Dior: Who wore it better?

It was Red Dior dress for both, Anushka and Chitrangada. But the million dollar question is, "who wore it better?" Anushka wore it first, for Elle's March cover and I think she looks stunning. It took me a while to recognise her at first( blame it on her new lip job or bangs), but it'll be true to say that, she looks nearly perfect in the cover; accessorized well with metallic cuffs and neutral make-up for to dress stand out; Perfect look for a magazine's cover. Whereas, Chitrangada wore this Red Dior to launch Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. It's a difficult dress to wear, considering the extra fabric hanging on one side, but she made it look effortless. What I didn't like in this look is, her hairdo. A pulled back, sleek hair in a pony tail would have made it look less messy. Not a great idea to wear your hair open with this dress, especially to an event. Its Anushka for Me! What y'all think?

Style Myntra : Neons (Part-1)

Spring Summer'13 tends have been talked and discussed enough on the blogsphere, so there is not much left to say. So, I thought why not do a series of styling post with the help of my favourite online shopping destination-"Myntra.com" which has the largest collection of apparels, accessories, and footwear to chose from the wide range of brands.

"Neons" has been there, in the fashion scene for a while, but has managed to sustain its place again this year. It's not only runway's or designer's favourite, but  my personal favourite trend this year.I LOVE Colors and I keep experimenting with them when I am styling my look . I generally keep my styling understated;Simple clothes and statement accessories, easy to slip, from my day look to, night look. All you need to do is, play with colors and statement accessories. To explain it better, I have styled a look( below), to explain it better to my readers.

For day, I paired a teal color blouse with bright yellow, pink pumps, and a statement necklace.
For night, I paired the same blouse with a bright pink high-waist skirt , pink pumps and statement earrings and bright pink lip coolor / bright cheeks or bold eyes.

Fringe Benefits: Learn from your Favourite Fashionistas!

The top hair Chameleons From Bollywood to Hollywood are experimenting with their otherwise hairstyles to Fringe a.k.a Bangs. Its the most easy way to change up your look and this Spring Summer I spot a lot of   our favourite Fashionistas sporting the trend and taking it to another level. Love how each of them added a bit of their own style to their Bangs. My personal favourite would be Les Miserables star Anne Hathaway for sporting this sexy, side pixie fringe.

Look and Learn..

I personally don't recommend Fringe for curly and frizzy hair. It's not just difficult to maintain bangs, but it takes longer than usual for curly hair to grow and you wouldn't want to mess up with something so precious as your tresses, would you? I messed and I messed-up a lot with my hair during my teen years and learned my lesson the hard way. I'd lie, if say,' I don't want Bangs'..I still do, but they don't suit my face type, also my hair texture is thick and curly, but to have hair like Zooey Deschanel's is my dream.. So if you are planning to get Bangs, keep these in mind :

* Your hair texture and length.
* Your face-type

Its funny, but I feel which season you plan to change or cut your hair plays an important role in deciding what kinda Fringe or hairstyle you should go for. In winters I cut my Bangs little shorter( till my nose), so that styling or ironing stays on my Bangs ( because they are curly) and by summer my bangs grow long till my Chin(like they are rite now). I swear by this rule now.. I'd be back with another detailed post on the same. Hope this was helpful..!!

My Day1 at Wills India Fashion Week SS13

Those of you who follow Confessionz's FB know how crazy my last few days were.. 5 days of not stop Fashion Extravaganza  and now loads of pending posts ..that means lots of work to be done :(
Now that I have recovered from my Fashion Hangover, I shall get back to work..

Here is a picture diary of my Day1 at Wills India Fashion Week SS13

This is a glimpse of Gautam Gupta's SS13 Collection..which was all about digital prints .. LOVED His Blazers and Shorts which were interestingly paired with formal blouses.. His collection was inspired by "Chillies and Strawberries" . Neons stood out in this collection.. So is this a sign that we'll again see Neons this Spring Summer..??

Like I said.. NEONS.. again I bumped into some more..Kept looking for something fresh.. Interestingly Niki Mahajan had a lot to offer.. Her stall was like one stop shop of her collection through out the year.. I came across this new matte sequin embroidery that looked like traditional Phulkari and later saw a lot of it on the ramp.. ( you'll see that in the upcoming Blog posts )

Fashion Week is the Perfect time to make a statement and what better way than Accessorizing your Look.. I saw lots of color this time.. Its nice to see people experiment so much with their jewellery.. its not everybody's cup of tea..

These were some of my Favourite pieces of jewellery.. I wanted to steal what these two ladies were wearing.. and I Personally love what our Ms. Goodlooking ..Japna was wearing that day.. !! Emerald Green earrings..


I am desperately waiting for fresh to come up.. Neons ,Peplums , Tribals have been raided enough.. IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.. Wait for my other blog post till you figure what is in store for you this Spring Summer.

This is some Craziness that Pupul , Me and Shrish were upto.. and really sweet of Aman..the photographer who managed to click us just before the show..


Like I said.. It was one big Fashion Extravaganza.. its difficult to some up everything into just one post.. so stay tuned for more on WIFW SS13 .

Till my next post........

LOVE

Tommy Hilfiger Spring Summer 2013 Women’s Collection

Spring 2013 is inspired by the spirit of a nautical journey.  From sea to sand, deck to harbor, sailing life informs the easy, fluid attitude of the collection.  The effortless “off-duty” style calls to mind Jackie O and Lauren Hutton entering ports of call in exotic locales.  The look is quintessentially American, but at home anywhere in the world.            

   

                      

From tonal sailcloth inspired patchwork to the brand’s signature red, white, and blue, the collection brings a youthful sense of adventure to the classics. Stripes are reinvented with playful patterns and nautical motifs – a breton version goes lux in pieced leather.  Menswear favorites are reinterpreted in slouchy printed silk suits, oversized blouses and cableknit varsity sweaters.  Dresses are a key silhouette – canvas shirtdresses are accented with lattice lacing and grommet details for a sporty touch while draped silk styles move effortlessly from daytime to evening.  Colorblocked handbags in exaggerated proportions are the perfect traveling companion.  The new boat shoe pops against a stacked white heel, while flat espadrilles lend a nonchalant ease to dramatic trapeze gowns for cocktail hour.  Giving spirited independence to iconic style, the course is set for an American Voyage.

LOVE
