A big thank-you to Open magazine for doing the feature on us recently. And also a big, big thank-you for all the support (of our readers) that we continue to enjoy. Means a lot to us!
Below is a snippet from the article, read the full version here.
Ahh..ths blog is in my daily checklist too…though my profession is far from the fashion crowd..love ths site..chek twice everyday after waking up n before going to bed..good going two pretty ladies:)..best wishes..
Ditto Ditto :):) I think I had mentioned this earlier too when I first discovered this blog, that its my daily dose :) like the newspaper first then HHC, then FB and then my work MS Outlook haaaa!!!
Congratulations guys =)
Needless to say, this blog is my daily dose of fashion. I have started dressing better, also the latest information is so much fun to show off. :D You guys rock! keep up he good work. Way to go!
Now i understand your love for Genelia’s shorter do ;)
Looks equally cute on you Payal…
This is such a cheery picture :)
Nice article…detailed in fact,
Are you guys really that media shy? I guess thats what keeps you guys grounded.
Congrats! Hm You ladies look so different from those first ever pics(though hazy) you posted couple of years ago. I have to agree with Sam. It would have been more credible if you took the time to show the readers “how to do” rather than not quite.;)
Oh, I had no idea you were here in the USA! Good to know, though I wish you’d drop a clue as to which part of the country. Yes, I read you every day – two or three times a day, checking what else you have found for all your fans! Keep up the great work. Indian fashion’s so much fun.
OMG – Really, Dallas? I’m near there, and have been clueless. Unfortunately, I’m moving away soon, to where there are no Desi Girls – and no Bollywood movie theatres.
Congrats girls, good job !
And i love this bit: “Now, in fact, Payal and Priyanka are planning to hire a freelance photographer in south India because of the growing interest in southern cinema stars.”
Yay !
One request here P&P can you have a different section for Southern Cinema, no offence but it just takes away the interest when their identity needs to be googled.. only to find out that i’m not really gonna see them in bollywood movies or paties..
I see where you are coming from, but No. This blog is about Indian fashion and not North Indian AND South Indian fashion or Bollywood AND Tollywood/Kollywood etc. Sowiiee. :)
Thanks PnP. I follow Indian movies be it bengali, south indian (telugu, tamil, malayalam) or hindi. (Atleast i watch the good recommended ones). So I like that you keep it Indian and without the split of north and south. Plus i think it ll be impossibe to come up with a clear split since so many of these celebs are integral part of both north and south indian movies.
I did watch few south Indian movies like Iruvar and Kandukondain Kandukondain and loved them, but it’s hard to read subtitles and watch simultaneously..nehow..can u all recommend south indian movies as I definitely love the realistic approach of those movies..
congrats P & P, your blog is like a drug to many of us. it’s super addictive. your blog is the first i visit when i reach office in the morning and also the last i visit before hitting the sack daily..keep rocking guys!!in some way or another, you’ve become part of our lives with the daily dose of updates :D
Awesome!! I check the site multiple times a day. I like your fashion sense and judgement much much more than E! Fashion Police. ..and you guys look cute but chic in the picture.
i somehow expected you both to look a little bit more, i dont know, polished, perhaps? the photo is fine for something private (like your FB account), but as an accompaniment to an article about you both, i think you should have put in a different photo – something styled. you could have asked one of your many stylist friends. having said that you ladies look very cute in your photo :)
Bongbabe, to me they look like I expected them to. Pleasant, neat and understated. And kudos to them for not having a styled shoot. Plus the Go Fug girls will have us believe they blog in their pyjamas so I guess PnP are not required to put Dia Mirza, Sonam et al in the shade to write HHC:-)
I must admit I have wished for more pop culture allusions and snark at times – but I think HHC has its own vibe which is kind of interested in fashion, moderate and laced with a bit of cheekiness:-) But PnP do get yourself a hot male intern-you deserve it!
I just read the piece, yo writer you could have done a better job! And of course there is a St Anger who bothered to read just to comment on Open’s standards in including frivolous lady stuff:-)
“One prominent Mumbai socialite has threatened the website with a possible lawsuit if it posted her images” – yay, blind item buried in piece! And ultimate accolade.
Congratulations P&P…:) opening HHC is my daily regime and my day is incomplete without it. If ever I miss it in the day, I make sure i am going through it before I sleep at night…U both deserve it…:)
Congratulations!!! This is part of my daily post lunch routine at work when the eyes are too sleepy to concentrate…this helps:) I have most of my colleagues hooked to your site too. Thanks for the amazing posts and great work!!!
Congratulations gals :)so finally I see the face behind Priyanka nd Payal.
Keep going!!! I have given up my daily morning coffeee!! But cant give up the habit of visiting your site first thing !!!!
:)
TC
congrats! I do however have a problem with your blog, everytime I visit and read about the fashion I feel like shopping:-( lets see…colored denim, statement necklace, hairbands were never my style but now I own all of them! not just that I have actually visited many sites and bought exactly the same thing seen on a celeb! great work guys:-)
I may not comment each time I log on, but I’m addicted to this website! The best part though, both of you look soooo normal! I expected a fashion page, photoshopped, designer wear etc, etc. Congrats.
Congrats you two! Got to agree with some of the comments. From whatever little that can be seen, the fashion sense seems pretty Meh , expected better. I can see the same blown hair and maroon lipstick so much for critiquing the celebrities for doing so. lol
Check out the response in here! Truly well deserved. As a fashion writer myself, I couldn’t agree more with Bandana, whom i’ve had the pleasure of learning under. Everyone, atleast in the Indian fashion magazine industry, treats the blog like a guilty pleasure. Because your critique is terse, and perhaps not always succint (it usually always works out in your favor, thankfully). Regardless, I always make it a point to scroll down the site every few days. Coverage is your forte. And loyalists keep you above the others. You’re lucky to have so many high heels clicking, with both their feet and fingers.
CONGRATS P & P….’group hug’ !!!!!
My day isnt complete unless i’ve had a peek at HighHeel…its not just a place where you can freely critique everyones sense of dressing but its also a place where you can draw positive fashionable trendy inspirations from…whether its clothes, shoes, hairstyle or makeup.
My daily guilty pleasure too. And I have learnt a lot about the fashion scene and am still boggled by the in-depth knowledge you guys have about high fashion products. WTG!
Yay! I’m so pleased for you and us!
Like everyone else its the first and last thing I check everyday and now with twitter its even easier! Aishwarya Rai and Sonam Kapoor I love those posts because reading the comments is super fan – all claws out. Sabyasachi at fashion week, twinkle khanna in desi wear -the list goes on.
Please don’t ever stop being true to yourself! Love the sharpness HHC started with :) My own guilty secret is that i don’t share this blog with any friends/family because I looove it all for myself. Regulars like PeachBellini, Bongbabe etc – love to you all !xxx
Congratulations PnP! you guys are doing great job I started reading your blog about three years back i guess? And I am hoocked ever since! And I am so glad to finally see your faces. Love you Guys..
Congrats ladies What an honor :) luv the pic you have posted (Y not post a full length so we can comment :) coz right now we r blinded by the 1000 watt smiles Luv reading your blog even thru sleepless nights Simple to the point and classy blog Hoping to see more press releases and more Laurels your way Well done Ladies <3

PS: Wish you ladies tied up your hair. ;-P

Adara, bet they are pumps ;))
Haha, quite possible! But since they didn’t do up their hair. They would mighty surprise us by wearing some ekta kapoor infamous chappals. ;-)
Ahh..ths blog is in my daily checklist too…though my profession is far from the fashion crowd..love ths site..chek twice everyday after waking up n before going to bed..good going two pretty ladies:)..best wishes..

Very lovely girls! Congrats!
Ladies……….CONGRATS….Love the blog…check it several times a day..
Those of you critisizing the girls’ fashion sense…..LEAVE the alone….they are not celebrities…they are average Jane Does like you and I.
Holding full time jobs AND maintaining a super popular blog – ain’t nothing “average jane doe” about that!
this blog is about critiquing fashion.. so it shall happen ;).. m sure p&p don’t get upset abt it.. so chill..
Congrats! Hm You ladies look so different from those first ever pics(though hazy) you posted couple of years ago. I have to agree with Sam. It would have been more credible if you took the time to show the readers “how to do” rather than not quite.;)

Dallas? that’s what I came up with my little search… P & P… kudos to u.. I love ur blog!!!
really… u guys are not gonna approve my comment
I don’t see a comment pending for approval… Sometimes it just takes a lil’ longer since we approve ’em as and when we can.
OMG – Really, Dallas? I’m near there, and have been clueless. Unfortunately, I’m moving away soon, to where there are no Desi Girls – and no Bollywood movie theatres.
Congrats ladies…
congrats guys! and you look nice, such warm smiles:-)
Congrats girls, good job !
And i love this bit: “Now, in fact, Payal and Priyanka are planning to hire a freelance photographer in south India because of the growing interest in southern cinema stars.”

yeah, but the caption says “arbiters of elegance”. it should have been edited to read, “armchair arbiters of elegance”.
bongbabe, i like your brutal honest/non sugar coated comments.
Perhaps the armchair is implied?!
I just read the piece, yo writer you could have done a better job! And of course there is a St Anger who bothered to read just to comment on Open’s standards in including frivolous lady stuff:-)
“One prominent Mumbai socialite has threatened the website with a possible lawsuit if it posted her images” – yay, blind item buried in piece! And ultimate accolade.
I liked what they said at the end:
‘We aren’t the celebs, we just cover them.’
How aptly put! :)
Congratualtions!!! You girls look beautiful. Glad to see more pictures of you.
congrats….happy to see ur smiling faces…
Congratulations ladies ! This is well deserved!
Woot! You guys rock, P & P! And what charming smiles, to boot. :)
Congratulations P&P…:) opening HHC is my daily regime and my day is incomplete without it. If ever I miss it in the day, I make sure i am going through it before I sleep at night…U both deserve it…:)
Yayy! You both look great.. love the smiles :) Keep up the good work & wishing more success
Nothing more to add here I guess…Am just happy to have faces to the P&P stellar combo :D..Keep up the good show !!
Congratulations girls! And the two of you look just like what I’d expect, someone fun I’d love to get a drink with:)
Congrats you gals!

I may not comment each time I log on, but I’m addicted to this website! The best part though, both of you look soooo normal! I expected a fashion page, photoshopped, designer wear etc, etc. Congrats.

I have been religiously following the blog since the past three years and made my sisters and friends addicts too! :)
Great going P&P, well deserved. You girls look very pretty, love the smile on ur faces, very rare to see such genuine smiles !!

SO GREAT JOB LADIES !!!!
dont go charging subs now ( hee…heee) !!!!
My daily guilty pleasure too. And I have learnt a lot about the fashion scene and am still boggled by the in-depth knowledge you guys have about high fashion products. WTG!
ladies, i had a thought – why not use your power to BAN the one boob show trend in sari wearing? please? it just really gets my goat.
Not in any way spruking my site but I have one on vintage saree blouses. And was surprised to find that the one boob show is as old as hills.
But yeah, agree not a good look – in 1920s or now.
Congratulations Payal n Priyanka!! Thsi is gr8 news! HHC is the first thing I open in the morning, it is like my morning coffee :-)
Yay! I’m so pleased for you and us!
Like everyone else its the first and last thing I check everyday and now with twitter its even easier! Aishwarya Rai and Sonam Kapoor I love those posts because reading the comments is super fan – all claws out. Sabyasachi at fashion week, twinkle khanna in desi wear -the list goes on.
