In Gucci


Chitrangada cut quite the striking picture in Gucci while at a recent event in Abu Dhabi. Dior heels, Louboutin clutch and Eina Ahluwalia earrings completed her look. Love.

Check back later for better pictures.

The ladies may have both picked silk/satin pleated trousers but it was only Kalyani who fared well in hers. As great as Sonali looked waist-up, the slouchy trousers just felt drab on her.

In Vivienne Westwood


Ms. Kalra (the editor of Elle) picked a Vivienne Westwood dress to wear to her magazine’s Beauty Awards. Ferragamo pumps, a Dior bag and red lips completed her look. You like?

Spring 2013: Behind Bars


Barely into Fall, Spring 2013 fashion is upon us. And so, let’s talk Stripes, shall we?

As a woman of girth… What, not very pc? Okay, as a woman of curves, I have always held a bit of an obsessive fascination with stripes. I was told you can’t wear ’em and so naturally, I always have. You know, the same way we were told to stay off the bad boys? So bad, SO good.

I love stripes. Both the nautical and jailbird variety. But, they don’t always work on you, you know. They add width, those horizontal ones. Vertical ones, more forgiving (but not entirely, not always). Then what’s the trick you ask? The one size fits all answer of course, figure out what works for you. And if Spring 2013 is any indication of things to come, you better be well on the path to self-discovery already.

Personally for me, the trick lies in mixing stripes. Not only does it create a graphic geometric effect, it also is dizzyingly flattering. The other, play a game of peek-a-boo. Pair a horizontal top under a jacket/cardi and you should be okay. Even those of you whose, umm, cups runneth over. Either way, give it a shot.

French seaside, classic Americana. Retro. Vintage. It’s hard not to romanticize stripes or denounce their classic appeal. Or work in a pop-culture reference to make it (even more) current. But what am wondering is, 2012 is already winding down? Where the hell did the year go?

In Dior


In a Dior dress, Kalyani was in attendance at the Vogue do. A girly, feminine updo, black pumps and a Dior clutch finished out her look.

Neck-up, she looked fantastic; love the hair. Neck-down, I had two minor gripes. One, wish she had picked a strapless slip; the straps under the sheer black part of the dress are killing me. Two, the belt. No doubt the dress needed a belt but I for one, much prefer the skinnier version seen on the runway. A skinnier belt would’ve fit in with both the soft/romantic dress and hair.
