BOLLYWOOD "DIVA'NGI"

A couple of months back, Yash Raj Films announced the launch of DIVA'NI, an affordable line of cinema inspired sarees and lehengas. Diva'ni is a collaboration between YRF and Sari House, Karol Bagh, New Delhi. 

Friday, 27th September 2013 marked veteran Yash Chopra's 81st Birth Anniversary and on this fabulously nostalgic occasion his favorite heroines paid him a stylish tribute. This was also the grand launch of Diva'ni.

Anchored by none other than Shah Rukh Khan, leading ladies Rekha, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma and Parineeti Chopra walked the ramp wearing DIVA'NI Couture. Each actress had a special birthday message for the late legendary director!

The launch of DIVA'NI was iconic, magnificent and extremely special as most prominent models and Bollywood royalty came together on the ramp to celebrate Yash Chopra, the King of Romance!

This MEGA show was held at YRF Studios, Mumbai.

Which leading lady looked the best? And who failed to impress? What do you think of the couture collection? Tell us?

Fall 2013 - Hairstyles

Hello Lovelies! We have hand picked some sexy and sassy hair styles straight from the biggest & best Fall/Winter 2013 runway shows. Most of them are not very difficult and you could definitely give them a try.

LOW PONYS 

 Oscar de la Renta

Moschino

 Chloe

Tie them extremely low and then straighten for a sleek final look. Wear them messy with strands left lose on both sides OR sharp with side/central part OR bouncy with teasing, back coming and adding volume!


SIDE PARTED BANGS (LOOK ALIKE)

 Rag and Bone

A simple side part can give you  gorgeous bangs (look alike) ! So don't go chopping your hair instead part your hair really low on one side and sweep your hair over the forehead and then secure it to the other side to create this lovely effect. Remaining hair can be left lose, or tied...you decide!!

POKER STRAIGHT

 DKNY

Reed Krakoff

Quintessential , simple and chic! When in doubt , wear it straight ;) Part your hair at center or side for a stunning effect!

 SLICK BACK

 Giambattista Valli 

This do is strong and edgy as hair is gelled back neatly in front and yet from behind, the length of your hair still shines through in all its glory! Gently lift at the root and then use generous amounts of hairspray and gel to create a sharp and sleek finish. Only Gel the crown of your head and leave the length gel less but straighten it out for a neat finish.

UNKEMPT MESSY WAVES

Philip Lim

Try quick & firm twists with your hot curling wand and skip excess hair products as these waves get better left on their own. Keep them as natural as possible to create this one!

GLAM VOLUME

Bottega Veneta

 Marc Jacobs

Curl your hair, allow the shape to set and then tease through each spiral (Marc Jacobs)  OR you could leave top two-three inches of your hair as is and then curl the remaining to rock an Old Hollywood Glam Look (Bottega Veneta)

UNKEMPT MESSY TEXTURE

Altuzarra

Blow dry your hair and at the same time gently twist sections with your fingers to create mild waves. Don't brush as the look we want to achieve is messy, effortless and simple.

MESSY BUNS

Prabal Gurung

Strands of hair are left hanging lose from buns keeping them away from being perfect and that is the beauty of these buns. Effortless chic!


Which is your favorite and least favorite Fall hair style? Tell us?

DOTTY LOVE- ALL BLACK & OXBLOOD SATCHEL

I have been wanting to wear crop tops for the longest time but since I am not stick thin, I decided to keep myself far far away from this MEGA trend. Until Parul and I found this baby!!!! :):)And with medium to high waist pants, I could conceal my stomach!! Thank God!!

Boxy and roomy tops work really well if you don't have the bod for a barely there crop top! But remember to balance loose crop tops with fitted bottoms!!!  You can create similar looks by getting cropped sweaters/knitwear (a BIG trend for Fall & Winter)

As far as combining all black, polka dots and oxblood is concerned, its our way of telling Weather God that we are absolutely READY for Fall and Winter ;)

Look Details-

Polka dot top- Bangkok 

Tuxedo pants- Local boutique, Bangkok

Bag- Primark

Earrings & bracelet - Bangkok

Ring- Aldo

Heels-Zara

Nail Paint- Lakme 

Watch- Guess

Happy Styling xoxo
