Autumn Winter Colour Trend

Revive your wardrobe with Autumn 2010's hottest hues:
.

.
1. Camel
Camel is the key colour for autumn winter 2010 and 2011 and is the perfect shade for almost all skin types. Wear a smart camel coloured jacket (black is replace by camel this season and from Gucci to Mango to Karen Millen, everyone has this shade of coat this season), or carry a smart camel coloured tote or maybe pair a smart dress withcaml coloured boots. This is a must have colour for the season. Team tailored dresses with a touch of camel colour through a statement bag or shoes.
.

.
2. Rust
Add an element of bright to your this season's winter wardrobe with rust. Not too bright, but subtle and rusty. Rust shaded accessories would be a great way to lighten up this season's hot tailored dresses.

3. Khakhi
Wearing khakhi coloured pants is the coolest way to wear this colour trend. Pick a pair of khakhi pants like Victoria Beckham, which are as comfy and easy to wear as denim, working equally well day or night. You can pick a straight or a skinny fit or one like Posh, which is tapered and hits above the ankle for a flattering, slim fit. Dress them up with a black tuxedo blazer and platform pumps, and you've got yourself a stealth evening look
.


4. Wine
Wear your wine in solid or with prints. Floral wine coloured dresses in chiffon or georgette would be girly and sexy. Pair it with a camel coloured across body bag for adding the toughness to the look or team it with your boyfriend jacket.

.


Style tip for this winter:
This winter will see the return of ruffles, beading and lots of sparkle with studding thrown in for good measure. Team a ravishing ruffled satin evening dress with a richly gothic beaded clutch and sky-scraper heels for a modern take on traditional party wear. The easiest way to create the ladylike dressing trend is to treat yourself to chic, feminine accessories. Dress up your outfits with heels, gloves and clutches or invest in our statement nude grown-up handbag.

Stylish Workout

Having the right clothes for any situation can not only affect your mood, it can affect your performance too. So why not hit the gym looking stylish yet being comfortable?

Talking of style and fitness together, the first name that pops in my mind is Stella McCartney. Adidas collaborated with Stella McCartney and the lady has put in some real design into her fitness line. She adds interesting details that add intrigue to her pieces and turn something basic and expected into the unexpected. And trust me, with one of those pieces in your workout wardrobe, you would love to go to the gym!!!!

Nike for sure is a must-have in every workout wardrobe, Nike shoes, their pants, tanks and their famous dri-fit collection.

Girls, enough of talking. I've created some stylish workout looks and also added some stylish celebrity workout looks. With clothes this great, you'll actually want to exercise every day.

Look 1: Sexy, Chic and Comfortable

Go for a jog or head the gym in these dead gorgeous Stella McCartney (Adidas) shorts with rolled up legs and running shoes, team it with a white vest or the purple vest and for cover up the track jackets (�32-49) in grey or yellow would finish the look perfectly.





Look 2: Stylish and Comfortable


Combine style and comfort by layering over form-fitting separates and understated sneakers for sporty chic. Work out in style in Nike black track pants (�29.5), a yellow (�19.99 ) or a black (�14.99) tank top layered with Adidas by Stella McCartney pleated cotton track top with puff pleat-detailed shoulders (�77.17) and paired with Adidas by Stella white tennis sneakers with yellow and grey trim (�110.58).

While other ladies choose to add a pop of colour, down below black and white reigned.

Kim Kardashian was spotted walking from the gym in a white tank top, sports bra and black stretch pants after a morning workout. Kim carried a black Balenciaga bag to carry hold over knick knacks.

Gym was what Kim, Ashley and Eva preferred, but Gwyneth and Renee loved their jogs on the streets.

Gwyneth Paltrow went for a jog in her local neighborhood wearing a black Adidas by Stella McCartney track top paired with cropped grey pants while saving herself from the harmful UVA rays in her smart aviators.

While Renee Zellweger went jogging in the beautiful streets of Paris, near Eiffel tower, looking chic in her a black ensemble - black shorts, tank inside a black track jacket. Love her shoes.

A large tote is your gym must-have. It should have room enough to carry your bottle, towel, comb, wallet, keys, lip balm and other knick knacks.
.
Tired of the ubiquitous Nike and Adidas? Need some stylish and sexy sportswear, that wouldn't hurt too much of your pockets?
Lululemon (Canadian-based Yoga clothing company ), FitnessFit (sporty and stylish workout wear) and Victoria Secrets are some of the labels that you might want to try while shopping for your fitness wear.

Bollywood goes Haute in Aisha

A leading daily recently published an article, 'Couture Goes Haute in Bollywood's Aisha', and rightly so. Aisha is India's answer to the Hollywood fashionable Sex and the City. While Sex and the City is a collection of essays by Candace Bushnell (later adapted by a TV series), Aisha is based on famous book 'Emma' of Jane Austen.

Both the movies have the Big Fashion element, and we're glad that the Indian actresses are learning the world of style and chic.
.




Aisha, which is co-produced by PVR Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films Co. Ltd, is a film that deals with a fashionable girl played by Sonam Kapoor, who is also very fashionable in real life.

The movie has tied up with high-end international brands such as Christian Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo and Chanel and is Indian cinema's first ever chick flick. Experts in the brand integration business say premium brands have been used in Bollywood films before but it�s for the first time that a film has incorporated so many high-end products at one go.
.
We've all seen the Promos of Aisha and they're nothing short of very stylish. All the female leads are looking chic and sophisticated. The effort that has gone into the clothes is close to what we've seen in the likes of Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City.

The female lead Sonam Kapoor and the rest of the cast will be swathed in as many as 60 Dior dresses and accessories.

Aisha has also tied up with premium home linen brand Portico. Sonam Kapoor�s bedroom in the film has been done up by Portico.
.


.

Sonam's walk-in closet reminds me of Carrie's closet in Sex and the City.
.
Other designer whose creations would be seen in Aisha is Anamika Khanna. Paticularly Amrita Puri (Who plays Shefal in the movie) would be seen in a lot of Anamika's creations.


.
Aisha's Team at the Delhi Couture Week


At the Delhi Couture Week, Amrita Puri, Lisa Haydon and Ira Dubey of �Aisha� walked for Anamika Khanna along with Anil Kapoor. The guy sure takes the limelight from all the sexy girls, but love what Ira is wearing.
.

.
Now that the movie is released, we're not at all disappointed with what we saw. The plot was good, the girls looked good, and yes Sonam did have a fantabulous wardrobe in the movie. Her style in the movie looked like an imitation of Blair Waldorf�s (Leighton Meester) of Gossip Girls (American series) in many parts of the movie. The viewers of Gossip Girl can better relate Sonam�s appearance with that of Blair Waldorf, her dresses, colours of her ensemble and handbags even. But it is still a great look and light fun girlie movie.

At last Bollywood is learning to style!!!

Celebs donning Stella McCartney's Chain Tote

Stella McCartney's chain detail totes has become the 'it' bag with celebrities. From JLo to Rihanna to Kim Kardashian everyone's got one in their wardrobes.

Stella's chain detail Totes look great whether it is the foldover or shopper one. The bag is practical and stylish. The bag has no-leather and rates high on quality. Love the fact that it is luxury non-leather bag.

Who wears the bag best?

Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez

.

Carrie Underwood



Rihanna

.

Leona Lewis


Among the five ladies, Kim Kardashian and Leona Lewis cary Stella's chain detail tote the best. Love Kim's jacket, wish she would have chosen something nicer on her feet rather than those flip-flops. But she does look good, and the bag complements her ensemble very well. Leona Lewis is looking fab in her black and white ensemble, combined with the chain tote.

Girls luxury does not necessarily means leather (killing animals). Luxury means great quality, excellent designs, good workmanship and a established brand. Stella's accessories matches all the four, and there's no reason why one would not pay for her excellent designs.

Stella's bags are soft and last long, and this chain bag is certainly the one to crave for!!!!!

Sex and the City Premeires and Fashion

Sex and the City 2 is in theatres and so is delight to all the fashionistas around the world. The Movie has made raves round the world and the girls have been stilettoing in London, NYC and now Japan, for promoting their movie.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis put on a stunning Fashion parade (ok not literally) on the red carpet in their designer dresses as they attended the champagne screening in Tokyo. And I must say, they were absolute stunners, looking beautiful than ever.

Among the four ladies, it was Kim Cattrall who stole the show in a beautiful Naeem Khan's gold creation and a sleek bob.
.

.

I have to say, among all the premieres, it was the Tokyo's where the SATC 2 ladies looked their best and surpassed all expectations.
.
Kristin Davis looked adorable, like always, in her yellow vintage Jean Patou haute couture Prom Dress by Christian Lacroix. Cynthia Nixon kept her look simple and sophisticated in a strapless Calvin Klein dress with asymmetrical hemline paired with high platform heels. She looked lovely.
.
Sarah Jessica Parker, well how could the lady stay up behind? She was in a 100 per cent Sex and the City get-up, wearing a show stopping floral multi-tiered Vivienne Westwood gown, accessorised with a statement necklace, Raven Kauffman Harlow belt, gold Alexander McQueen clutch and satin high heeled shoes in nude by Charlotte Olympia. Of the three premieres, this was her best attire.

.


.

.

SATC 2 brings in lots of bling, luxe and shine this season. So girls, its time for you to show the flamboyant side of you this season and the season next. Minimal chic is a passe. You need to leap your boundaries. Shine on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sex and the City 2 - Premiere

Finally the much awaited Sex and the City 2 would hit the cinemas this Thursday.


Till then, the pictures of the Sex and the City 2 Movie Premiere should contain the excitement. The SATC2 Premiere was presented by Mercedes-Benz And Maybach at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.




Do SJP and Kristin Davis signal a new trend, i.e. Neon colours? Both the ladies were clad in neon hued gowns of neon green and neon pink respectively.

WHo looks best among the four? Kristin Davis was my favourite who was clad in Jean Desses silk chiffon pink gown.

Celebrity Watch - Stylish and Edgy

The celebs have gone edgier and more creative in their looks this season. The traditional dresses and gowns have been ditched in facour of something more stylish and fun. Let's look at some of the stylish Divas Looks that certainly calls for attention.


Sarah J Parker and Natalie Portman at NYC Ballet Spring Gala

While talking of style and edgy, Sarah Jessica Parker comes first on mind. One of the most risk taking celebs, in terms of style, and one of the most stylish women of the decade, SJP comes with yet another Stylish looks at the New York City Ballet Spring Gala. SJP donned a blush-colored, lace cocktail dress by Elie Saab Haute Couture teamed with L'Wren Scott deep turquoise jacket and coordinating clutch bag. An elegant updo and silver peep-toes completed this feminine evening look. Love the way she played with the colours.

Another celeb that matched SJP's stylish look at the gala was Natalie Portman in her red hot ensemble. She wore a red and blush coloured edgy Lanvin dress with gold crystal embellished belt detail. She co-ordinated the two-toned dress with an oversized black clutch and nude heels.

Eva Longoria Parker and Amanda Seyfried

At two different events Amanda Seyfried and Eva Longoria Paker flaunted their sexy figures in short dresses.

Eva Longoria Parker wore a short and sassy Robert Rodriguez ($495) one-shouldered blood orange dress as she stepped out in LA. She added the leg-lengthening nude shoes and carried a sleek black YSL clutch bag ($395). Her one-shouldered red number sure did wonders to her petite sexy frame.

Amanda Seyfried gave the Little Black Dress a new definition. She ditched the classic LBD for a more edgier choice at the gala screening of 'Dear John' at Odeon Kensington. Amanda wore a sexy LBD with a glittering front panel in hues of sea blue, green and purple. Black strappy heels and a slick of on-trend tomato-red lipstick completed her look.
