Love and Life was the collection presented by Anita Dongre’s Timeless label which used mul created specially from fair trade yarn, a cause that Ms. Dongre is very close to. The collection predominantly featured festive lehengas but also included saris, empire line kurtas and dresses for summer wear.

I loved just about every lehenga bottom but the brocade patchwork cholis paired with the white/gold lehengas were too busy for my taste.

The finale piece, a pale pink lehenga that was sported by Dipannita Sharma (see inside) was a favorite.

Past Miss India winners, Nikita, Tanushree and Puja were spotted at LFW sporting dresses with sandals. This one was a no-brainer, Nikita was our favorite in her printed dress. But, we’ve still got to ask, who was your favorite beauty queen?

The ‘Chak De’ girls were united again at Fashion Week and while the dresses they wore were interesting, it was the footwear & clutches that brought their look down. The cream clutch and sandals were too plain for Vidya’s purple draped number and the black clutch way too stark for the colorful orange number worn by Sagarika.

You like either or neither?

While most attendees at the S&N Drape By Shantanu-Nikhil show wore creations by the designer duo, Laila Mallya was spotted in the iconic blue Halston Heritage dress which all Sex And The City fans should instantly recognize.

She paired her shimmery dress with a Louis Vuitton satin minaudiere and Jimmy Choo glitter slingbacks and a silver bracelet. The teeny weeny odd thing out about this fab look was the gold watch.

Update: The lady is Laila Mallya.

Spotted these ladies at the fashion week in outfits by the designers whose shows they were attending (and supporting).

Shamita chose a pink S&N Drape dress while Namrata was in Anita Dongre. We thought both ladies wore their draped dresses well but do think Shamita had a slight edge over Namrata just coz’ she accessorized her look better.
