Check out Gwen Stefani rocking the “bandhini” skirt. Oooooh… I wish I had a six pack as hers..I don’t even have a baby, but I still have a damn tummy! These skirts were all the “craze” couple of years back.. Nice to see Mrs Rossdale still wearing hers!
They do exist and you should feel very happy in knowing that even the best of us have them on a very regular basis. Take me for example, my hair gets oily by the end of the day. I will wake up the next day and no matter what I try, my hair doesnt want to listen to me! Now there are lots of hair products out there that will get me the look I want. But, the truth of the matter is, that I am very possesive of my hair and stay away from any artificial product that “claims” that it can get my hair to go from flat to full in 2 seconds! The only other fix, is to wash my hair every day, but that adds a full 15 minutes to my getting ready for work. Anyone who knows me also knows that I am not a morning person (my morning starts only around noon). I rather use those 15 minutes to get some more ZZZZZZs..(preferably dreaming of some greek hunk whisking me away to some paradise island!)
Now, for all you ladies that agree with how blissful those extra 15 mins of ZZZZZZs are, you are going to like my quickfix for a bad hair day..
Recently, I picked up this wide band hairband and boy, life has been so much easier ever since. The wide band covers quite a bit of my hair and the shiny look distracts from the actual oily hair underneath, instantly giving a cool look, than a frazzled one! I found it at Forever21 for only $1.80.

Vikram Phadnis has long been a favorite among the Bombay film industry people and at his fashion shows you can always be guaranteed to spot some celebs in front rows! And at this recent fashion show of his, he seemed to have gone one step further, and roped in a family deal by getting Malaika and Katrina to model for him! I generally don’t mind his clothes but this show didn’t do anything for me!
Phadnis’ creations were shown at a show that Zapak.com organized at the JW Marriott hotel, Mumbai and while I get the whole game-y feel, I just don’t care for it! Instead of doing Lara Croft sexy, it was just technicolor Marvel comics, the Chetpet edition! (For the uninitiated, thats a place in Chennai)
And then there’s the issue of Katrina. Tell me how one person can be so boring? She is gooood looking and all that. Thats a given. But no matter how you style her, how come she always comes off looking the same? Boooring!
And Malaika. Now, this is one woman that is super hot, methinks. A great bod, angular face that photographs well and makes even this tacky outfit scream high fashion!
For more pictures from the show, go HERE.
Ok, so a long time ago, someone was eating a donut and wondered, hey, why don’t we sell the donut hole too! Not a bad idea.
Bbbut, what is going on here? Ideas like the donut hole cannot be extended to every product! This “half glove” is a classic example! It doesn’t even matter, if Ms. Hilton flaunts them. This trend is not about to take off…Ever!
By the way Paris, Billy Idol called and wants the rest of his gloves back!

When it comes to jewellery, every once in a while I look for some rather whimsical pieces that are just fanciful, kitschy, unpredictable and oh well, whimsical! And at one such quest, I found this necklace at J Crew. Its in a classic blue-green combination and what makes it so wonderful, is the frog clasp made out of pave’ crystals on a double strand teal colored glass necklace. And if you look close enough, you’ll notice that the beads are knotted on a rasberry colored thread which just adds to the contrast! At $125, this bit of whimsy is yours to have!

The Turtle Ring by Kenneth Jay Lane from Shopbop is whimsical and cute and oh-so-adorable! The ring is in 18K gold and has Swaroski crystals, and its size can be adjusted! And at $88, you are getting a cocktail ring that makes a statement, and how!
And this last one…

Ok, so your first instinct might be, isn’t that a bit much? I’ll allow you that.. But, yes there is a but! Look again. It is so whimsical, girly and way too much fun! The Large Bow bangle from Fallon Jewellery also available at Shopbop screams witty whimsy with vintage vibe. At $219, it certainly is a bit pricey, but thats one statement piece which certainly will reap rewards!
Its a cynical world baby, and we all need a bit of whimsy now and then!
