    Kangana Ranaut is sporting denim dungarees and it is something to see

    Dungarees, the primitive form of jumpsuits, have been around forever and we’d say they do make a comeback every now and then. Especially at fashion weeks we normally end up spotting at least one person wearing them effortlessly and believe us, they are not the easiest fashion item to strut in. The thing about dungarees is that it’s not just the outfit but the right attitude that makes them look good. And if you need inspiration on wearing this retro piece, here’s some firsthand help from Kangana Ranaut.

    The Bollywood star was spotted wearing denim dungarees with a striped tee and a pair of white sneakers and boy we were impressed. BTW, did you notice the acid wash AND the distressed detail on her denims? The look is so rugged yet calm. She finished her outfit with sunglasses giving us the perfect summer weekend outfit inspiration. Take a look and tell us how you like it.

This show will be presented by three young designers (names haven’t been disclosed to us yet) at the fashion week.

    Isn’t that amazing?  

    Sunil Sethi, President, FDCI said, “We took a leap forward and after several years held the male model auditions for India Fashion Week. There were almost 200 models, who came for the auditions. FDCI board has decided to include one or two menswear shows as part of Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2016 and going forward increase the number. The menswear show at AIFWAW16 will give male models a platform to showcase their talent.”

  • Hey Uber, I need some puppy lovin’. Book a ride and get a pup to me. Pretty please? #UberPuppies

    Hey Uber, I need some puppy lovin’. Book a ride and get a pup to me. Pretty please? #UberPuppies

    The American multinational ride service Uber, is going to deliver puppies in Mumbai on the occasion of ‘Love your pet day’ on 20th February 2016 and we’re nothing but super excited.

     

    This isn’t the first time Uber has done something of this nature. After executing similar campaigns across cities like New York, Vancouver, Cleveland and Chicago on various occasions, Uber is now bringing some puppy lovin’ for Mumbaikars while partnering with the NGO named ‘World for all’.

    With the hashtag #Uberpuppies, the ride hiring giant will allow its users to book Indie pups for a 15-minutes playtime in an enclosed space while encouraging its users to experience having a pet and ultimately adopting it. These users can book a pup between 2 PM to 4 PM across the city to have a great time with these tiny furballs. Way to go Uber! We’d like you to do the same in Delhi too.

     

    And before we go, we urge you to consider adopting an Indian dog. Believe us, they too give the same unconditional love and are no different than any other breed! #UberPuppies

     

  • How would you feel if you discovered that your lover was actually your twin?

    How would you feel if you discovered that your lover was actually your twin?

    So it all started about 25 years back when a pair of twins got separated at birth, leading two entirely different lives with different families. Little did the twin brothers know that their destiny, unfortunately, would re-unite them in an extremely peculiar way…….as lovers!

    Jason Osbourne and Alex Brown, a gay couple based in New Jersey, US, recently discovered that they’re long lost twins after two years of their relationship. As shocking as it may sound to us, the lovers reportedly got their DNA test done only to find out why their family and friends thought they were related due to their remarkable resemblance.

     

    Jason and Alex- Inp img2

     

    According to Grazia Netherlands, Jason quoted, “The man I thought to share my life, my soulmate, is actually my twin brother … I do not know whether I should cry or jump for joy” to the local reporters.

     

    Jason and Alex- Inp img1

     

    What’s more – Jason’s partner, Alex, didn’t respond very positively to the news and has now decided to turn ‘straight’ and lead a normal life like everyone else.

    And we say we have big problems in life?

    Please note: The authenticity of this story has been questioned by a few sources. We hope to God, for both of them, that this is not true but looks like it is. Stay tuned for more updates.

  • What do you think about Sonam’s recent airport outfit?

    What do you think about Sonam’s recent airport outfit?

    Sonam Kapoor gives us fashion and style inspiration almost every day. However, we spotted her at the airport recently in a leather jacket and a midi dress. We think she looked good for a travel outfit only ankle up. Those ankle length boots certainly took the style quotient down a few notches. She completed her look with a pair of sunglasses, no makeup and an over sized bag. Tell us what you think?

    Outfit of the week: wear separates right, learn from Sonam Kapoor

    There are a very few times when Sonam Kapoor doesn’t get an outfit right and this is not one of them. Bollywood’s very own fashionista was spotted wearing separates by Paule Ka at a recent promotion spree for her upcoming movie Neerja and we loved it. The styling was impeccably done with minimal jewellery and slick curls. Smokey eyes and a touch of pink on the cheeks and lips completed her look. Take a look.

  • Everything we love about the country’s largest mall, DLF Mall of India!

    Everything we love about the country’s largest mall, DLF Mall of India!

    Have you had the chance to visit the largest mall in the country yet?

    The DLF Mall of India recently opened its doors to all the shopaholics in Delhi/NCR promising over 400 brands. This shopping destination is spread over 2 million square feet (well, that’s undoubtedly a huge property) that makes it a shopping heaven for most of us.

    We recently paid a visit there and let’s just say ‘impressive’ would be an understatement when it comes to describing the DLF Mall of India. And for the same reason, here’s everything we loved about it.

    1. It houses H&M’s flagship store!

    The Swedish multinational retail-clothing company has established its biggest Indian base at the DLF Mall of India. This first flagship store by H&M is spread over 4 massive floors offering latest trends, timeless classics and inspiration for each one of us!

    2. No more travelling to Vasant Kunj to have Taco Bell! (For non-south Delhi residents)

    Yes! Taco Bell has finally decided to spread its wings a little towards the east side whilst showering its love for all the Mexican food lovers in East-Delhi and Noida. Apart from the American fast-food chain, the food court comprises plenty other food chains like The Big Chill Cakery, Wendy’s, Carl’s Junior, The Bento Café, Chaayos and many more. Reason enough to visit?

    3. The impeccably crafted zones!

    The mall is segregated into 5 different zones (floor wise) making it much simpler for its visitors to know exactly where they have to go. Also, in case you get lost, there are touch screens installed at every nook and corner of the mall for help. Well that’s something that you don’t see everywhere, at least in India.

    DLF Mall of India

     

    4. The plethora of high-street brands!

    Well, we’ve already established the fact that H&M has its biggest store at the DLF Mall of India. But, there’s also a huge range of high-street brands present at the ‘International Boulevard’ (ground floor & the first floor) that includes brands like Forever 21, Lacoste, GANT, Zara, Vero Moda, M&S, DKNY, Swarovski, Armani Jeans and Steve Madden amongst others.

    5. The Location!

    Located at the heart of NOIDA (Sector-18), the DLF Mall of India is perfectly accessible for those staying in South-Delhi (with its DND connectivity) and for the people staying around the IT hub (Noida & Ghaziabad).

    6. There’s something for everyone!

    Going fully operational this month (February 2016), the DLF Mall of India promises to cater to all kinds of visitors. With its Family World and Leisure Land zones, there is something in store for everyone including facilities like DT cinemas, a dedicated kid’s zone and indoor entertainment.

    Outfit of the week: wear those over-the-knee boots like a star!

    Look chic and classy this winter by pairing your over-the-knee boots with a dress and a cardigan. Over-the-knee boots are a must have in your winter wardrobe this season. You can experiment with leather boots or go suede. Leather boots go effortlessly with formal as well as casual attires. For a slightly more glamorous look, settle for a pair of suede over the knee boots. Flaunt your fit legs by wearing a bodycon dress teamed with a pair of over-the-knee boots. If you are not a fan of cardigans and want to go for a subtle look to compliment your formal outfit,  wrap yourself up with an overcoat to beat the winter and walk out looking like a runway model. Complete the look by carrying a bucket bag, wrist candy or a bracelet and minimal makeup. Take inspiration from our outfit of the week and get this look on point.

  • Five hair trends that every lazy girl will love!

    Five hair trends that every lazy girl will love!

    Every woman loves it when her hair is right. Even if the outfit isn’t so on point one day, the perfect hair can steal the show and make one look beautiful. However, getting the hair right is almost the most time-consuming part of the day and every girl doesn’t find so much time. There are also ladies who are just lazy to spend so much time doing their hair, sleep remains their bigger priority. And let us take this moment to tell you that it is okay to be like that especially when there are easy ways of keeping your hair sorted. Here are five hair trends for the lazy girl in you to get the hair game right on point.

    1) Top knot

    Who doesn’t love a good top knot? We understand it’s a herculean task to get out of your cozy bed and wash your hair especially during winter, but all you need to do is pick a sock that is similar to your hair colour and follow the steps. Tie your hair into a high ponytail, cut the sock from the toe-end and roll it till it looks like a donut.  After you have the donut ready, tuck your hair around the sock and start rolling it from the end till the ponytail.

    2) Statement Part

    If you are too lazy to do anything with your hair, try keeping it simple with a statement part. Run the brush across your hair and give yourself a perfect center- part. If that doesn’t work for you, settle for a side part.

    3) Flaunt your waves

    If you want to get curls or wavy hair without spending hours at the salon then adopt this easy way to get waves. Wash your hair at night, braid it and sleep over it. Open the braids in the morning to see the magic.

    4) Keep your hair long

    Keep your hair long and straight if you’re not a fan of regular styling. It’s not important to get a haircut every month to up your hair styling game. Just keep them long and plain.

    5) Twisted Ponytail

    Twisted ponytails sound way difficult than they are in reality. Twisted ponytail is one of the best hair trends for lazy girls. All you need to do is divide your ponytail into two parts, twist one part of the ponytail and wrap it around the other.

    Tissot recently opened its new boutique in New Delhi and it was inaugurated by the beautiful Deepika Padukone. The Bajirao Mastani actress donned an all- red ensemble, matching her exquisite red Tissot watch. Like always, Deepika looked mesmerizing in her scarlet red cape suit that she wore with a pair of red pumps. She enhanced her look with minimal accessories and a pop of red on the lips.

    She garnered attention from everyone present at the event, while speaking of her attachment with the brand. Deepika has been associated with the brand for almost eightyears now and , she proudly spoke to Business Standard 

    about her love for the brand, “I have shared a very special association with Tissot. I have been with it for almost seven or eight years now. It’s one of those brands that I started endorsing right from the beginning of my career when I was just a model. I think that says a lot about the faith that they have had in me as an artist and as a person and now it’s like family,”.

    She also launched a new watch of Tissot, Chemin des Tourelles that appreciates Tissot’s years old expertise with its contemporary design. The name Chemin des Tourelles is said to be inspired by a street in Le Locle, Switzerland.
