Globe Trotters!

Our favourite tinsel town celebrities were at their fashionable best (well, barring some exceptions of course!) at the recent 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards. The media’s been abuzz with the red carpet score cards as always. Here’s our take on which ones worked and which ones were the quirks! 

Ravishing in Red
These ladies - Reese Witherspoon, Diana Agron and Jeannie Mai - in their red silky fabrics looked gorgeous and were sure stunners. I’ve got to admit Reese simply looked so dignified and red hot at the same time!






Flaming red is THE colour I had on my mind when I recently bought this cool pair of red Numero Uno shoes, sexy ASOS dress and sporty Fastrack handbag as the End of season sale is on! I also found this red hot watch from Dolce & Gabanna. Pick your favourite clothes, shoes or accessories online and paint the town red!



Epic Fail?
While I’m normally a fan of pretty miss Sarah Michelle Gellar, ‘Buffy’ just didn’t get it right with her tie and dye gown.

The positive is that the cut resembles the bridal chic trend which has been spotted this Golden Globe. However the blue splatter does not flatter her too much. Apparently her 2 year old kid made the selection for the red carpet, so perhaps this time we’ll just forgive her! :) 

There are better choices that you can make if you want to wear a blue and white colour collage. Check out these patterned AND tops and Jealous 21 top. You needn't try too hard to be cool. Pick up one of thse tops to gain an immediate entry into the fashion brigade!


 



















Look Royal in Blue
Blue is a fabulous solid colour and it makes sense to get it right. A well-selected garment will do enough justice to the sophistication that blue brings.  

Unfortunately, some just don’t get it right, like Kelly Osbourne for instance! Dressed in a Zac Posen fishtail dress with unimpressive sleeves and a dull hair do to boot, she completed an unintended grandmother look!














What was she thinking?!! Anyway, there’s someone who more than makes up for this faux pas by living it up at the red carpet. I’m talking about Sofia Vergara... whatta winner!














Sofia pulled off her Vera Wang fishtail dress with great elan. She looked super hot in this deep blue gown featuring a soft sweetheart neckline. Diamond studded jewellery from Harry Winston completed the look. She did bag an award for ABC’s Modern Family and sure does deserve one for this mermaid dress as well!

I simply love this deep ocean blue and had to get my hands on this women’s Eleana Arrow top. This silky top with jeans or leggings is just perfect for a day-to-evening look!



Almost there...


Socialite Nicole Richie went with sparkles in a Julian Macdonald S/S 2012 gown. On first glance it looked tricky because of the awkward straps, but it soon grew on me! Nicole exuded elegance in this delicate shimmer dress. 

Nicole inspired me to go with shimmer, which is definitely a happening style option right now. Silvers and sequins, here I come! I bought the following - An Arrow dress in bling black, a silver Guess watch, a Spice Art clutch, and a pair of Carlton London high heels. Boy, do I just love those pumps!



And the award goes to...!




Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made the best decision at the Golden Globes this season by sticking to timeless classics. 



Angelina looked stunning in a floor-length satin dress by Atelier Versace. This asymmetric strapless white gown looks sensuous with the smooth drop of the satin fabric and the side slit running up to the knee.
We’d featured this Forever New champagne dress in an earlier post. I can't help but mention it again! I think it’s unbeatable thanks to the silky fabric and the sophisticated embellishment featured at the neckline. 


Angelina has actually done a wonderful colour block with her dress, with the red fold running across the chest of the flowing dress. She accessorised with a miniature clutch bag in the same shade. I did buy a clutch online in similar hues, with some beautiful traditional bead work. Its a hit and I’m glad I bought it! :)
Satin’s simply a favourite with the couple. Brad Pitt looked a charming retro prince from every angle. He was dressed in a satin lapels and bow tie with a classic tuxedo from Tom Ford.

What I found really interesting were the shoes! Brad Pitt’s feet are blessed with black formal leather boots while Angelina looks stylish in peep-toe high heels!


You can buy leather shoes online of a similar variety worn by Brad, under the Red Tape range and for aspiring Angelinas, there are neat pairs of pumps from Catwalk and Inc 5



















 



Okay ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to go all out and make some of these trendy new styles ours!  Whether it comes to silky fabrics, shimmer or attractive colours, flaunt it ‘cos you’ve got it!

Colour Me This!

Brrrrr...I can’t wait for the end of winter for more reasons than one! Though I have loved the simple, neutral colours (the greys and blacks) of my winter wardrobe, I am ready for the seasonal change! 

Come spring 2012, and we’re all see some uniquely pleasant colour trends reflecting the warmth and cheer of times to come. Get ready for styles inspired by a plethora of moods and lifestyle variations.

Here’s a look at some of the hot colours for the upcoming season in vivid bright variations.

The Bellflower Fantasy

Rich, ornamental bellflower hues are all over the catwalks. You can get unique and creative as you choose from among a variety of unconventional or traditional fabrics to bring out the strong mesmerising essence of this colour.

My apparel collection includes purple Puma T-shirts for a sleek urban and an Aneri women’s kurta which adds a dash of ethnic flavour.


Do the Tangerine Tango!


What’s spring without a juicy orange! Fruity scents and colors are all the rage and tangerine has always been a hot favourite among the fashionistas. This colour immediately brings out a cheerful vibe unmatched by any other. It’s time to make the best of the hues of spring!

I browsed through tangerine orange options and was thrilled to buy kurtas online from Aurelia and Diva. Tokyo Talkies has always been a brand that’s caught my attention. I found this funky T-shirt online that I just had to buy!





















This spring, bring out the best in you by adding some some fresh colors. You can pair it with  leggings or jeans and spread some cheer! :)

Revel in Raspberry

The array of fresh, ripe fruits this spring include the attractive raspberry. This scintillating pink is a great pick for clothing and cosmetics. Also known as cabaret, this intense pink is enough to make girls fall crazy in love! Also known as cabaret, this intense pink is enough to make girls fall crazy in love!

I can’t wait to shop for pink clothes, shoes and more online, just love the blouson waist. Dont you too? You can always extend your colour to accessories or shoes, such as these ones - a pink tote and a smart pair of band wedge floaters.





















Don your rich raspberry pink to ride a strong wave of sensuality!

For the ladies the choices are aplenty. You can also watch out for other colours which are expected to be preferred choices the upcoming season such as cyan, blue-green, yellow-green, milk chocolate, seafoam green and even a bright pure white!

When the women are all bright colours, it’s bound to rub off on the men’s palette as well. Cheerful colours are no longer taboo.

Solar Yellow Celebrations

This one’s bright, fun and commands complete attention at the very first glance. Cyber/solar yellow is sporty, contemporary and urban. The right kind of apparel in shades of this colour will earn the attention it deserves.
And I found a treasure trove not only in the classic yellow shade, but also the in other really catchy variants! This sunny yellow Proline T-shirt and Newfeel sports shoes will brighten up your day oh so quickly! They can't be used together but can be combined with other solid colors, and we have a winner! I’ve made the decision and I'm sure it's a good buy! I just can’t wait to flaunt this Puma bag.





















The Tidal Wave



Ocean blue shades have the power to evoke strong feelings of peace and calm.
Check out this men’s Nike T-shirt and Adidas shoes from the AdiRacer Remodel range. Nothing’s cooler than deep ocean blues. Bleed blue!  
Go greeen!

Renew your energy levels with colours of nature. The olive green, sporty golf green is a fresh hit especially in this season’s men’s clothing collections.

While shopping online at Myntra.com, the Levis and United Colors of Benetton men’s clothing collections feature this delectable shade, but what caught my eye was the Converse high top shoes - the famous ‘Chuck Taylor’ All-Star variety - dedicated to the basketball champion, basketball players and sports fans around the world. Talk about living the sports fashion lifestyle!

Guys, its time to break free and wear different and interesting colors such as vintage khaki, sodalite blue and granita. It’s all about taking fashion forward and doing things differently!

Welcome the new year with vibrant colours of the season and your spirits will soar as the year goes by.
