If there is one thing I hate more than bikini blouses with saris, it has to be those with lehengas! So. Very. Tacky!

India International Jewellery Week 2013 took place in Delhi this year and instead of a week long affair, it wrapped up in just two days. As is the case with any week, there were plenty of celeb showstoppers.

We, of course, just don’t get the concept of a jewellery week. As it is the showstoppers are distracting enough but add to that the busy outfits they wear and who is really paying attention to the jewels. We’re trying but it’s quite hard!

Are we the only ones? Wouldn’t a simpler Trade Show be the better route to go?

Question is, which cover do you prefer?
