Turnaround- Part Deux


The lingerie’esque babydoll dress meets sleep-wear is less than stellar on Twinkle and, we are being mighty polite. Keeping her track record in mind, this one is a major let down.

In Anamika Khanna


Twinkle went unconventional (in silhouette) by wearing an Anamika Khanna creation. She paired her outfit with a Kate Spade clutch and peeptoe pumps (both seen on her first at the CC2C Premiere in New York).

Love it or hate it?

Update: Now that we have the runway picture, perhaps it would have been better if she had skipped the pink dupatta!

Bolly Bleh!


Kate Spade introduced two new bags under the collection ‘Bollywood’…and, (no prize for guessing) I absolutely don’t care for it all!

It supposedly draws on the “industry’s dazzling palettes and unabashed glitz with a touch of camp” but I fail to see any of the delectable kitsch that defines Bollywood!!

The bags come in soft patent calfskin, and in cheery neon colors that would’ve been perfect for spring but even that does nothing for me!

I seriously fail to see ‘Bollywood’ and they say whats in a name!

Building A Wardrobe For Work..


A lot of us are professional working women. We work in different environments. Some workplaces are very casual and some places are very formal. We still all need to have the following basic things in our wardrobe without question!

1. We do not get a job unless we all go through an interview process. So, the first important piece of your wardrobe needs to be a great SUIT jacket. A good classic black suit is a great way to make a first impression on your would-be employer! Since we all have different body types, definitely try a few different stores to find one that fits you just right. Don’t just go buying one because it is on sale. Big Mistake. Nothing worse than an ill-fitting suit when you are trying to make a first impression!


Buy via J.Crew

2 and 3. Traditionally, we always wear suits with pants, except, there is another option, the skirt. Nowadays, all suit jackets come with matching skirts and pants.

The best part of having a skirt and pants are that now you can wear them with the suit jacket for formal events and lose the jacket for a more informal setting.

When it comes to skirts, there are different fits. Some look great in a pencil skirt, while some look better with an A-line look. For pants, I totally swear by Express’ Editor pants. I can gain 10 pounds or lose 10, and they still look fantastic!

4. Every wardrobe should have a crisp white shirt! It goes with everything, even a good ol’ pair of jeans. A good tailored white shirt not only makes you look extra smart, but it can also accentuate your figure and make you look thin!

5. Another option to wear with pants or skirts is a good knit top. Its a little less casual but you can always dress it up with a pair of pearls, a scarf, or even a great brooch.

6. To finish up the clothes, always keep a cardigan close. I have heard many co-workers always complain (even during summer) about how cold it gets and then always wear an awful sweatshirt. With a cardigan at hand, you can always put it on when you are feeling chilly and not mess up your hair while putting it on.

7. Now that clothes are done, let’s move onto all our accessories starting with shoes. A good pair of black pumps are a great investment. You can wear them all the time once you find a comfortable pair with medium heels.

8. Last but not least, pair your awesome wardrobe with a great bag. Every professional woman must have one GOOD bag that you can use all the time.


Buy via Kate Spade

To recap all the items, here is the checklist:

1. Suit Jacket (Preferably Black for a first)
2. Pencil or A-line Skirt (Depending on your body type)
3. Trousers (1 Black, 1 Gray and 1 Brown)
4. Cotton tailored shirts (Including 1 white and 1 black)
4. Knit tops (Any color)
5. Cardigan (Any color)
6. Comfortable black pumps
7. Functional work bag

What I listed are some basics that every wardrobe should have. Once you have a good basic collection (consisting of whites,blacks and browns), go ahead and delve into other colors based on the season.

As I end this post, I am attaching this other post that talks about how to accessorize with your work wardrobe. All the points it mentions are very very important! Read it here

Tory Vs Kate


Saw these two bags today..they are quite similar in the fact that both are Patent and a very vibrant Red, but thats where all the similarities end.

Am totally digging the Tory Burch in Red; it is vibrant, fun and perfect to dress-up or dress-down an outfit. I can see it being carried to the beach, to lunch or just on and about the town. The Red might just be what your bag-wardrobe-soul needed for that immediate picker-upper! The bag looks great even in Black for that matter, so, for the not-too-adventurous-won’t-stray-from-black-brown-bags kind of people among you, it would be a great option at $ 350.00

( Buy Via Neiman Marcus )

Now, the second bag is a whole different ball game. It is a Kate Spade Tracy Patent Satchel and is all things ugly. The Red, the perforated patent leather, the 14 Carat yellow gold hardware, are all that contribute to its basic lack of visual appeal. The Tory Burch patent bag has gold tone hardware too, but it works. On this Kate Spade bag however, it quite doesn’t. How do I say this delicately, but it quite looks like a bag a “working-girl” would use. At $ 395.00, its a whole lot of garishness.

( Buy Via Neiman Marcus )

What do you all think.. which one do you prefer?
