Bollywood Ladies Who Dazzle in Swimsuits

Bollywood Ladies Who Dazzle in Swimsuits

By Nidhal

Remember the previous post on Bollywood ladies who sizzle in bikinis? Weren’t you left slobbering, drooling and wanting for more? The ladies certainly sported bikinis with enormous aplomb, confidence and a sense of pride in their bodies that one couldn’t help but have their heartbeats race at a pace most F1 racers would be put to shame. So here you with a brief rundown of those Bollywood Ladies whose swimsuit avatars have been the most graceful, tasteful and magnetic of all.

1. KATRINA KAIF- If you thought her abs in Kala Chashma were a treat to your eyes, think again! The lady’s got more to soothe your eyes. Her pink swimsuit avatar in Sau Aasmaano song from Baar Baar Dekho gives one a no-holds barred view of her sculpted sun-kissed body as she saunters on the picturesque beaches in the song. Katrina Kaif donned a pink swimsuit in Baar Baar Dekho and made sure that she brought a carefree and laidback attitude to an otherwise sultry swimsuit.

2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Priyanka Chopra, PC for short ensured that the temperature on the beaches of Miami increased by a few notches when she strutted in a shimmery golden swimsuit in Dostana. What I can say for certain is that cine-goers back home had their jaws drop in awe.

3. SHILPA SHETTY- And here comes another Dostana girl! Shilpa Shetty Kundra has a body sculpted to perfection. Period. But when she swaddles herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit while grooving to the tunes of ‘Shut Up and Bounce’ all you can do is look at her unblinkingly while controlling yourself from slobbering.

4. SHRADHHA KAPOOR- Her face and frame both bill her as a typical happy-go- lucky, effervescent and exuberant girl-next- door whom you would have always wanted to ask out for a date but couldn’t summon the courage to. But when the livewire Shraddha sports a swimsuit (with an enviable bralette) not only do you get an impetus to modify your beach wardrobe majorly but also you are left gasping for more.

5. KIARA ADVANI- The Fugly actress ensured that she took all her fans by surprise as she posed in a black swimsuit for the magazine cover of Maxim India February 2015. Kiara Advani’s sensual avatar here certainly grabs one’s eyeballs.

6. ESHA GUPTA- The Desi Angelina Jolie- Esha Gupta oozed seduction, magnetism and appeal as she swaddled herself in an itsy-bitsy swimsuit for Elle Magazine. The cover of the magazine reads “Esha Gupta in summer’s sexiest swimwear”. After having a look at it, one cannot help but nod almost hypnotically in approval.

7. JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ- Sri Lankan import and former beauty queen- Jacqueline Fernandez unleashed her sensual and sultry facet as she sent the carnal interests of one and all into a tizzy with her audacious and alluring swimsuit appearances in Murder 2. She certainly raised the visual appeal of the thriller by a few notches, we say!

Editor’s Note: I saw the movie yesterday and Katrina looked fab, the only good thing to see in the terrible movie :p She looked mesmerizing in that hot pink bikini with voluminous, blow dried hair and that tan! Also Esha Gupta and Shilpa Shetty can rock anything! Super hot bods! Agree on PC too, that gold bikini scene is unforgettable 😀

Best Off Screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra

Best Off Screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra

By Nidhal

For years she had been targeted for two things. One, her weight. Two, her questionable and distasteful sense of raiment. Never did she buckle down once for either. Over the years, not only has Parineeti Chopra’s weight has become the talking point of Tinsel-town (dare you say that she’s out of shape. The vivacious lady looks drop-dead gorgeous in her chiselled avatar and what better than she working out for what she wanted instead of positing excuses?) but also her sartorial sense has ameliorated. We see Chopra Junior experiment and hit the bullseye quite often these days. So, let’s have a rundown of some of the Best Off-screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra 🙂

1. ON ‘LOOK WHO’S TALKING’- Swaddled in a black top from Zara and a red paint splatter skirt from The Source, Chopra Junior shot for an episode of Look Who’s Talking. She accessorised her look with a jeweled statement necklace and sported a pair of gorgeous Jimmy Choos. This look surely gets a thumbs up, Parineeti!

2. BOHEMIAN VIBES AT A STORE LAUNCH– Clad in denim shorts with a pink tee and floral cape that Parineeti teamed with nude wedges and multi-layered neck pieces, the Ishaqzaade actress made heads turn for all the right reasons at the H&M store launch in Noida. Not a lot many women can carry a bohemian look and Parineeti clearly does not fall in that category. The chirpy Chopra looks effortlessly sassy and easy on the eyes.

3. IN AN ANARKALI- Swathed in a beige anaarkali with the picture-postcard locales of Jaipur in the backdrop, Parineeti looks gorgeous minus gaudy (and that’s difficult to look as anarkalis tend to be opulent hence, chances of one looking gaudy are high if not carried/accessorised well). The young ‘Dawat-e- Ishq’ heroine delineates exquisiteness here, doesn’t she?

4. IN MUSKAAN GOSWAMI– Swathed in a blazer dress by Intrinsic by Muskaan Goswami, Parineeti Chopra dazzled on the red carpet of the HT Style Awards. One usually doesn’t go minimalistic when attending red carpet events that showcase more of bling and glitz; however Chopra Junior doesn’t go by the book. And who doesn’t love that rebellious streak of hers?

5. GOING PLAYFUL- Clad in a burgundy embellished blouse from Kanika Goyal that was paired with high-waisted shorts, Parineeti attended an event for a brand. Accessorising with caged heels and an oversized hat, she redefined the art of comfy dressing. We are swooning, Chopra Junior.

6. ON THE SETS OF KBC 8- Swaddled in a peplum style blue dress to promote Daawat-E- Ishq on Kaun Banega Crorepati, Parineeti topped the dress with a chunky statement necklace by The Source. She rounded off her look with black booties by Steve Madden. Now that is called chic dressing!

7. IN A TAREK SINNO GOWN- Swathed in a flared embellished gown by Tarek Sinno for the Zee Cine Awards 2016, the effervescent actress accessorised her look with petite baubles by Farah Khan Ali and shoes by Heel & Buckle. Nude makeup along with a braided hairdo completed her ethereal look.

Editor’s Note: I loved all the looks.

Best Off Screen Looks of Kangana Ranaut

Best Off Screen Looks of Kangana Ranaut

By Nidhal

What do you get when you blend charisma, a feisty attitude, oodles of acting talent, raw sex appeal, glamor, uninhibited self-confidence and a ‘My way or the highway’ approach? Kangana Ranaut. This Himachali lass set her foot in Tinseltown with the blockbuster ‘Gangster’ in the year 2006. A decade down the line and she’s been aptly crowned as the ‘Queen’ of the very same industry that for long pooh-pooed her as an outsider. With an impeccable style sense, she gives all the so-called fashionistas who swaddle themselves only in high-end designer outfits, a run for their money. So, here goes a list of Ms. Ranaut’s top 5 offscreen avatars that caught our fancy 🙂

1. THE AIRPORT LOOK- Dressed in a polka-dotted shirt teamed with a short blazer and denims, Ms. Ranaut steps out to give us a view of this chic and understated attire. Comfort and effortless style characterise this look. Not to forget those aviators give a bad girl tinge to the appearance. Clearly a winner all the way, isn’t it?

2. THE GYM LOOK- With her lustrous tousled locks cascading down her back and a half front-open jacket loosely tucked in the pants, Kangana’s gym look looks badass to say the least. Sneakers make for comfortable footwear when it comes to training hard in the gym and that is exactly what Kangana opts for here. Overall, the look is rugged and drool-worthy. Or is it Kangana’s attitude that makes it stand out? Keep thinking.

3. THE NATIONAL AWARD MOMENT- Eventually, she looks the happiest when the actor in her gets acknowledged. Bagging the coveted and highly esteemed National Award for best Actress in a leading role (Female) for the third time for her flick- Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015) that defied the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility and went on entertain more than the prequel, Kangana looked a million bucks at the prestigious ceremony in an icy-hued Georges Chakra dress.

4. THE PRESS CONFERENCE LOOK AT TANISHQ- This curly haired feisty actress attended the press conference of Tanishq. She looked drop-dead gorgeous in a full-sleeved one-piece with nude pumps that complemented her attire well.

5. THE RAMP LOOK- Walking the ramp for Anju Modi on Day 2 of Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week in a heavily embroidered full-sleeved crop top and a matching lehenga. The attire had a golden embroidery. Carrying it off with panache, Kangana stole the show quite literally 🙂

Editor’s Note: I can’t choose one, she looks great in all. I love the gym look and Tanishq Press Con look though.

7 Denim Tricks You Cannot Afford to Miss!

7 Denim Tricks You Cannot Afford to Miss!

By Lovleen

Denims are a staple aspect of almost any wardrobe, and thus owing them is a no-brainer task. After all the versatility, comfort and vividity that they are able to deliver is phenomenal. But, wait aren’t you missing something? Well, though you have a huge collection of denim but are you happy with time? Does it make you a standout from the crowd? If not then this article is just for you. As here we will focus on some easy yet exclusive denim tricks and hacks that you help you reinvent the same old denim wardrobe the fashionable way. Because denim magic will never occur on its own, a little effort, innovative thought and creative tools can take your denim success a long way.

1. Start With Zipper Style

The usual denims that you wear can be taken as a layout which can be structured just the way you want with your creativity. This concept can be fruitfully used for transforming your denim into a zipper style denim. For this style all you need is a zipper, scissor and needles. First determine the area when you wish to place the zipper and then rip that area to create desired space for it. Consequently fix the zipper at the space and there you have it, a magnificent zipper style denim that speaks for itself.

Style Tip: Zippers can be fixed anywhere at the bottom of jeans, hips and thighs too, just let your creative mind do the job.

2. Denim and Shoes

Known to all Denims have remained to be a versatile asset in everyone’s wardrobe, so why restrict them with one type of shoes? Experiment with a plethora of shoes that you always wanted to wear, where women can have their sexy look with high heels, skinniest feel with boots, sporty touch with two roll flats and formal look with wedges, similarly men can make their move using the formal shoes, sporty running shoes, casual sneakers and many more,

Style Tip: Be careful with the colors that you pick and remember that the match up should always complement each other.

3. Lace It Up

This hack is just for the beauties out there, who can take their denim to a new dimension by lacing it up. Now, each one of us are a huge fan of laces then why not have them here too. Pick up the appropriate lace that you love, crop up your denim and stitch it up, it is as easy as it can get. But, the difference that it is going to create on the aesthetic appeal of the denim is something to watch out for. So, have you selected your perfect lace yet?

Style Tip: Lace is the key of this hack, go with black, cream, white or other self colors, avoid those that have amalgamation of various colors in one fabric.

4. Rip and Fill The Denim

Everyone is loves to have ripped denims, but now it's time to fill the ripped parts not with denim but a wide range of fabric. Fill this ripped areas with designs, patterns, fabrics or any other idea of your choice. If you do not have a ripped jeans then just take scissors to rip them off. Later, take the fabric that you want to attach with the denim and stitch it up.

Style Tip: Colors that you pick can be the reflection of your personality (black, blue, red) or the way you are (white, green, pink).

5. Sand and Stain Denim

Next style hack is an amazing one where you will have the ability to transform the aura of your denims. To do the stand and stain hack you are going to require a sand paper for sanding the denim, filer for scratching it and then a fabric marker for staining it. The stand and stain looks best near the hips and thigh region of jeans so it’s best to do them at its mid length. In this technique first you will have to sand the jeans with a sand paper for a while until the threads are visible and then scratch these threads with the help of a filer. Once the white inner threads of the sanded area are prominently visible then make sure of a fabric marker to stain these threads. Here, you can use any color depending upon what your styling preferences

Style Tip: Have the sand and stain area across different parts of the denim with variations in colors of the marker.

6. Crop the Denim

Bored with the same usual long pair of denim then why not crop them? Take the appropriate measurements, or the length until which you want to crop then and then go for it. During this process you can implement various designs through the art of cutting and stitching too. This means that by simply cropping an old denim you can bring it back to life but a new and refreshed look. Fashion experts believe that cropping a long denim is just like repairing it and bringing it to the gateway of unlimited fashion as its hard to go wrong with crop denims.

Style Tip: Pair crop denims with cool pair of shoes and tops to look your best and never forget those classy sunglasses.

7. Spray Vodka For Targeted Action on Stains

Presence of stains can hamper the aura of your denims, so it’s time to get rid of them with just a few sprays of vodka. Transfer the vodka into a spray bottle, and spray it on the stain for two-three times, allow it to dry and witness the stain disappear.

Style Tip: Regular care and maintenance is crucial for keeping your denim stylish and fashionable.

Editor’s Note: Absolutely love these hacks Lovleen. I would love to try the sanding, and also rip and fill.

OOTD: Orange Lace Dress, Floral Blazer

OOTD: Orange Lace Dress, Floral Blazer

Hi guys,

If you read the previous post, you know we had been for lunch yesterday at The Trident, BKC. We also ended up shooting the outfit since I loved the decor.

 

I wore this pretty orange lace dress which can also be worn off shoulder, but since I had layered it with a blazer, I wore it normally. I absolutely love the fit and how it hugs the waist and gives a shape and is not like a shift dress. Plus orange and yellow are my favourite colors <3

I wore this very light, floral blazer on top. It is so light, that I could comfortably wear it in these summers too. (obviously with the AC indoors) Since the dress and blazer are all bright and colorful, I skipped the accessories and kept the bag and shoes neutral.

So, I paired the outfit with my favourite Michael Kors sling (which you guys are bored of seeing now, but I am too lazy to change bags :D) and another current favourite, these tan brogues. Also added, a classic Daniel Wellington watch.

OOTD: Orange Peplum Top, Metallic Gold Belt

Hey guys,

As I mentioned in the previous OOTD post, I am going to bombard you with OOTDs, since I posted them after a long time :p

I love orange and gold combination. And as you know, orange is the new black ! Gold accessories come up really well on orange.

This was also what I wore to the Closeup Diamond Attraction event I posted about.

I have paired this orange peplum top with my black denims and black ankle strap suede wedges. This current favorite gold metallic belt and a gold chain bracelet, gold and diamante statement necklace completed the look and of course, my black bag.

I love this orange peplum top, have been wearing it a lot these days. Its quite comfortable and looks chic too. The fit is nice and the fabric is soft and smooth too. It has a deep U back and can be paired with pencil skirts, denims, maxi skirts and in so many ways.
