Viola Jewels

The fine folks at Viola Jewels have been kind enough to sponsor another giveaway for our readers in India. For the coming four Wednesdays, we will be holding a 2-day contest featuring an item from their collection.

All you have to do is hop over to their site and find the price of the item in Indian Rupees and leave your answers in the comments field with your email address. We’ll pick three random correct answers and those folks will win Rs. 1000 vouchers that they can use at any Viola Jewels store.

Again, the contest is only open to the readers residing in India and for the first one, find out the price of the earrings featured below. Get all your entries in by 17th Dec, Midnight, India time.

P.S. We won’t be approving the comments until the contest is over. 🙂

An Upgrade

After this, anything would have been an upgrade but we like how Sania bounced right back with a grey dress. We didn’t expect her to wow us (and don’t either) but at least she didn’t give us something worse. If we had to change one thing about this look, it would have to be the bow belt.

As for the tan lines: just another occupational hazard we’ll have to ignore (like Hrithik’s hair and beard :P).

Serving Up Black Two Ways

Be it a black romper or an all-black look with a shirt and skinny jeans, Neha manages to hit it out of the ball-park both times. But, we’ll have to add that the romper look is a slight favorite of ours just because it’s been a while we’ve seen someone do it well. What about for you?

In Spendthrift

Ms. Reddy’s Spendthrift dress has a ‘Parental Advisory’ on the back except what we really think it should read is: ‘Advisory:The Front Is Much Worse Than The Back’. With the faux-way-too-many-chains and the faux-vest, this dress made us wish she was wearing a real vest to spare our eyes from the busy top half.

You hate as well?

Another Curveball!

The sun didn’t rise from the west, I didn’t wake up 5lbs lighter but things around me have definitely changed. First, Kareena in a non-Manish Malhotra and now the last person I would have expected to see wearing one, IS! Yes, Mr. Malhotra may have dressed Aishwarya for Endhiran but this is quite a first: wearing his design outside of films. What’s more surprising is that I like it on her.

Update: AB Jr. walked the ramp for Manish Malhotra at the benefit event which explains why Aishwarya wore Manish Malhotra. Not that much of a curveball now, is it. 😛
