Lakmé Fashion Week 2014

Hey all,

The much awaited, Lakmé Fashion Week, is finally here! Aren't we excited? And why not? This time, it's going to be different- big, bold and mad.

I'm really looking forward to svelte models drenched in art, gliding towards the flashing lights at the other end of the ramp. Aarti Vijay Gupta brings this very experience to life with her S/R '14 collection that is inspired by the pre-vedic "Indian Miniature Paintings" and boasts of beautiful, elegant cuts.

Another collection I'm looking forward to is a blend of bold and playful. Kolkata-based Sayantan Sarkar is doing a mix of georgette, chiffon and linen. The splash of colour really kicks in the mood, prepping us up for Holi, and then, summer!

The designers will showcase their collections on 13th and 14th March 2014 respectively.

Until next time!

POTD # 14 - Dancing Around Pink

Hey all,

This idea came to me while I was wondering what nail art to pick for the week. I just decided to go through my nail colour collection and take a call accordingly. I felt like pink, but not too much. So I decided to paint a nail in a particular shade of pink and the rest in similar tones of brown and lilac. Here's how it turned out-

So set a trend, playing with different tones around a particular shade of colour, or opt for monotone, going from lightest shade on the thumb to darkest on the little finger.

Until next time!
