Eesha Who?


Update: Miss India not in top 15, just as I expected!

Eesha Koppikhar(or Isha Koppikar as most of you know her as) will be one of the judges at the Ms Universe 2008 pageant tonight.

Do not ask me why her? I am still scratching my head over this one!

P.S. For people in the US, the event will be showing on NBC at 9PM Eastern.

P.P.S. Thanks “Jayashree” for the tip!

Pageant Worthy?


Miss Universe will be held today in Vietnam and here are a few more images of Simran Kaur Mundi in outfits by Indian designers…

Watcha think? Pageant worthy or not? (Besides the Ritu Kumar lehenga for which she won the National Costume award for..)

Fall 2008 Trend Report


If Spring is all about the chunky bangles and bracelets, then Fall is going to be all about dramatic neckpieces! So prepare to accessorize and flaunt those collarbones while making your own individual statement.

Feels like ‘metallics’ have been around forever now, and this trend is surely going to continue well into Fall! Wear as much or as little but make sure you wear the ‘shimmer’ and not the other way around…

So its an established fact that leggings have long been a Fall staple but while the Spring runways saw a smattering of color, it was nothing like what was seen on Fall runways. Red was a color that popped the most (among all other colors that we saw), along with the other strong contender, textured leggings…

Just when we were beginning to settle in with our Margaritas and high SPFs on that lounger… its time to start planning our Fall wardrobes. Sigh.
