If you are looking for coffee table books for purely decorative purposes or for beautiful illustrations that can provide some inspiring design ideas.. then these two books might just be what you are looking for! While the first one fuses two different styles for one contemporary look, the second one provides enough ideas and resources to become a must-have for collectors!
Read on.
Somebody tell Ms. Balan to just wear classic denims with a white shirt. That is so much better than this black on black trend she has been following for a while now!
What can ruin a perfectly cute pink dress. You got it. A bra that is not supposed to be seen! And what’s worse than that.. when its a black bra under a light colored cloth. That is the blunder that Gul Panag made while wearing this pink sheath dress.
So.. you want to wear a great dress but the straps are narrow, what do you do?
For starters, wear a strapless bra. Your best bet is a nude color because you can wear it under light or dark colored clothes.
Buy via Victoria’s Secret
If a strapless does not support you well enough, then get some double sided tape to stick the bra straps to the dress. That way even if you move, your bra won’t get a mind of its own and make an appearance!

There it is.. my good deed for the day! Now you can worry about one less thing when you are getting dressed the next time..

If you haven’t noticed, necklines embellished with jewelled accents are all over the place and while its a look lot of people seem to crave, its not entirely easy on the pocket and neither does its fate lie decided over the next fashion season or two as far as its longevity is concerned!
So here’s a way you can make that look work for you! If its Simi’s look you need and want, just pin a pretty kundan ‘maang tikka’, or any gemstone (of your preference) ‘maang tikka’ onto the neckline! If its a more understated look, like Minissha’s, you crave after, then all you have to do is pin an elegant brooch on that neckline. One screams for attention, another makes a demure point, either way, its a great way to make a statement for now!

Imitation has never escaped the fashion industry but then there has always been a line to draw between that which draws inspiration and that which only imitates!
Inspired nuances are good for the budget shoppers because it gives them a way to get a particular look without having to break the bank…
Below, is a Miu Miu bag on the left and a Steve Madden tote on the right. Quite similar but not identical.

But then look at these two clutches. At a glance, they are absolutely identical! The Valentino Satin Bow clutch has been very popular with A-listers this season but priced at $750.00, it does come at a hefty price! Imagine my surprise when I found the exact identical clutch at Steve Madden for a mere $38.00!!

My question to you is this: Knowing that an identical original exists, will you still go for the cheaper, ‘inspired’ one? Or would you rather find an original at whatever price range it is that you are shopping in?
