Carey Mulligan in this Balenciaga jumpsuit is sheer perfection!  So minimalist and so chic and on par with fashion trends.

There was no official picture of Sonam Kapoor in Elie Saab that went around, but from what was uploaded on twitter it was GORGEOUS!!!

Another Mumbai gal who looked spectacular was Freida Pinto in Gucci.  With her skin tone this dress looked unbelievable.

Yup Another Carey Mulligan in Vionnet, Loved IT!!!

Kerry Washington in Lanvin

This look is actually not from Cannes, but I LOVED Kerry Washington in Lanvin, so elegant!

For the most part Vidya was slammed for her fashion sense, to be honest it didn’t bother me at all that she dressed how she is usually does.  She always wears Sabyasachi and thats what she did at Cannes… I liked this look the most, had a royal Indian feel to it!  To all those who don’t know this but she is an ACTRESS not a fashionista!

Solange Knowles is a personality with unique style, to me she rarely does wrong.  She carry’s everything so well, but this Stefane Rolland jumpsuit was FAB to another level!!

It is summer and while we all enjoy the warm weather, it is showing our body that we dread.  While working out tones our body, our skin needs some buffing to help make us look perfect in short clothes.  What everyone should be doing is EXFOLIATING!!! Here are 2 of my favorites!

Bliss World Orange

Bliss Orange and white pepper sugar scrub

I love this scrub but since different people like different scents, Bliss has many different ones so check them out!

The next one is an oldie but goodie from Origins :

Origins Salt Scrub

Origins Salt Scrub

This Origins Salt Scrub is super moisturizing and Origins is a great brand that has been around for a while that is big on quality!

These two scrubs are more expensive than the ones found at drugstores, but these are Great scrubs!!!

I know so many of you want to see Natasha Poonawala’s wedding pictures, and I am here to tell you I don’t have them.  I have to be honest it would be great to see them to see what this fashion forward woman has worn (or who she wore).  Since I don’t have them I thought I would share some pics of her for your fashion loving eyes!

Natasha Blog Postnatasha blog post 2Whether you like her fashion sense or not, you can not deny she takes chances!!! You also will rarely see her in high street brands, it is only high luxury brands for her.  You can see this fashionista wearing brands like Gucci, Herve Leger, Lanvin, Manish Malhotra, etc… I would love to raid her closet!!!

Levis shredded 606 jeans

A trend that I am loving in Denim is the frayed jeans that I am seeing popping up everywhere.  I love this look!  It has a very casual rock star feel about it!!!   Some call this trend distressed or shredded.  There are many who are able to do this themselves (I am not one of them).

For a real great deal check out these Gap jeans coming in only at $69

Lesson Learned

Yes I have punjabi hips.  Yes when skinny jeans came out I was pissed.  Yes I do not look the same as Victoria Beckham, but if you know who Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez are, you know that hips are not necessarily a bad thing.  I personally know that if you work at it, you can make your body look great (that is for another post).  I also can tell you that you don’t have to wear a sarong to the beach if you don’t want to. (someone should tell Shobha De that if you can get botox, you can get LIPO).  There is always a way to make yourself feel and look better.

With that being said I can also tell you that if you love food, you learn that if you want to look good you have to learn how to dress your body.  These are lessons that are learned from having some bad fashion moments!

One lesson I learned was not to wear tops with elastics on your waists or hips.  This tends to make you look more hippy than you are.  Here are a couple of pictures to help you understand what I mean:

This year’s Met Gala theme was Punk, and nobody hates punk fashion more than I do, however with the fashion fraternity I was hoping for creativity.  I am sure if you have read the reviews and the pictures you have realized that most of the invitees IGNORED the theme.  Here is how NOT to look PUNK:

Do not go to Valentino

Do not watch Black Swan to be inspired

Do not look like Grace Kelly

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

Do not look like a ROSE (try Guns N Roses)

Do not like you summer in Nantucket:

Do not look like the  Duchess of Cambridge:

I really wondered if these women (or their stylists) did not have the internet to google “PUNK FASHION”

To Keratin or Not?

There are always trends in hair care, and the most recent is Keratin straightening.  I was a person who in the past had succumbed to a trend by doing Japanese hair straightening, and while short term it was great, long term I regret that I did it.  I feel like most products I buy now is to reverse damage done to my hair.  Heat and Chemical can really kill the health of hair, so when choosing to do such treatments one needs to think LONG TERM!

Before thinking of doing Keratin treatment at a salon which involves heat to set in the product, I would suggest go to your local drugstore and you will find lots of products with Keratin (it is a protein) such as shampoos, conditioners, leave in treatments.. etc.

I happen to follow designers and bloggers all over the world, it really is amazing how fashion seems to transcend borders!  This week there was a fashion week in Pakistan and I decided to check it out online and critique it.  I have to be honest this is the first time I have followed fashion week in Pakistan so I really don’t know anything about it in terms of history, or how the retail market works in Pakistan.  While there were some designers who I had heard of, most of them were completely new to me.

What do you think, do you think I got a good deal?  Insane right, that shirt was available in the streets of Delhi a year ago…  I also think that Equipment did a silk version of this shirt.
