Shyamal and Bhumika’s “India Inspires” collection was the first to catch my eye when I was skimming through all the collection over the past few days. I say that because Well Heeled and I just returned from Vegas and have loads to catch up with. (Of all the weekends, how come this weekend had to be packed with events!)

The collection as the name states has a lot of rich Indian tones. From first glance, the collection seems to belong more to a Bridal Asia preview rather than a spring collection, but I am really not complaining as such. The embroidery, the sequins, the color combinations were striking but it almost seemed like we have seen all this done before..

We seem to think that Ms Simone Singh definitely suffers from multiple personality disorder. How else can you explain this drastic choice for an outfit that she wore to the EDIDA Decor Awards?

Really, how do you go from looking so glamorous to trashy within a week!

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!

Peek-a-bra

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!

Buy via Amazon

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..
