STOP slamming Sonam!

sonam kapoor

Enough has been said, rather complained, about actress Sonam Kapoor's appearance at the Cannes Film Festival on Day 2. Different blogs, some news websites (including NDTV) has trashed her look. With remarks as, "White is so grandma", "emeralds with white is cliched", "hairdo adds years to her face", "bare arms was a bad idea"... and blah blah blah.
A stupendous look, I say! Not all silhouettes have to cling to the body. Not all hair has to be always worn open or in bumpit buns. Not all colours have to blind your eye. Its a smooth, flawless look. If I had to complain, may be the over-bronzed face. Rest is Perfecto! Way to go Girl!

Clothes-Horse!!

So this is the Jennifer Lopez, we know. Fashionable, Sexy and ultra chic. Now, look at the images below.

The icon who is synonymous with oomph and style has had this to show to the world! Put together above are a few of the pieces from Sweetface, Jennifer Lopez's clothing line. With disastrous creations like that, the label was meant to go phut!. In one of her interviews, the singer/actress has admitted it (the fashion line) to be a "disappointment." But guess, some people just don't give it up. The lady is relaunching another designer line, this time in partnership with hubby Marc Anthony. Voila!

Red Gams

So, we had another red jeans on the road. After Khloe, Rihanna and others http://fashionably-random-itee.blogspot.com/search/label/red it was model Padma Lakshmi's turn to go red-legged. Seems like a big trend now.

What a name!

Katy Perry

That's singer Katy Perry wearing a Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Pronunciation problems aside, the label is by a Moroccan designer who goes by the same name; JC/DC in short (Thank God for small favours!). This is not the first time Katy is wearing this designer. Back in 2008, Katy wore a rather funky creation by the label at the MTV awards in Europe. Eccentric Lady Gaga has worn the designer too. See pictures below.

Indian jhola goes West

There's something about the Indian jhola (bag, for the uninitiated). Our little gem that we should truly treasure. Part because of it's availability at every nook and corner and part because it comes dirt cheap, we don't seem to value it enough. After actress Julia Roberts, Mary-Kate Oslen and Miley Cyrus, it is Sienna Miller who has taken to the jhola. In a casual do, she sported the jhola at a recent event in London. (See picture below)

Rave or Rant: RANT!

Where did Scarlett send her stylist? Or did she borrow Sean Penn's?

Diamonds on her face

Mila Kunis

While reading one of the fashion glossies, I chanced upon this beauty news. Actress Mila Kunis of Black Swan fame gets a special facial, which involves rubbing diamonds and rubies on the face in a particularly designed motion for a flawless glow. The facial costs a whopping $7000, i.e. say Rs 2,40,000 approx. Whopping!!!
Ladies, it's time you start rubbing your rubies the right way! Oh yeah, and the diamonds too.

Captured and tormented

Ingrid Betancourt is on my mind today, besides Osama, of course. Just brought the book 'Even Silence has an End,' an autobiography by a lady who was captured by revolutionary forces of Colombia and held in captivity for six painful years in a horrifying jungle. The first few pages have had me. Waiting to finish it soon. Though it's a tome in itself. On the right is a picture of the lady.


PS: Read Mende Nazer's Slave. A must read. A true story of a Sudanese girl who was kept a slave almost all her life.
