The Ballooning Trend

Summer of last year saw Cameron Diaz totting the fabulous and oh-so-happy Marni balloon bag in yellow, and its popularity seems to be riding just as high even now! And most designers seem to have caught onto the shape… look at the Balenciaga and Gucci bags from their spring 08 collections…

While I like it, its a great casual, day-bag, the only thing I find inconvenient about this shape is that anything you put in the bag seems to collect at the bottom and it takes major rummaging to find something! But then again, maybe its just me!

Fur Flurry

I don’t quite understand Dimple’s choice of bag either and while I get Payal’s lament over the color clash, what confounds me even more, is the fox fur trim on the bag. Fox fur in Mumbai weather? Seriously? Even if its an itty-bitty trim, unless the temperatures take a serious nose-dive, its such a no-no!

But if the bag did catch your fancy, it can be yours for $2495 and comes with drawstring closure, tassels with bamboo detail and fox fur trim among other accents!

On the left, thats Nandita Mahtani at the opening of Bollywood Mischief and on the right, there she is again, spotted at the Lakme India Fashion Week in the exactly same outfit, once more! While its heartening to see celebrities repeat their clothes too, but twice in less than a month, that too at events you know you will be photographed is not exactlly fly, is it?

On an aside, also spotted her at the Gucci launch party in a great looking dress!

She is carrying the new Gucci clutch (Crystal evening bag with Swaroski detail, Fall/Winter) in black patent but I don’t care for it much. Those tassels just don’t work for me! But here it is in Gold, and if it appeals to you, go for it!

Bipasha Basu and Preity Zinta were both at the Gucci launch party and while both went with long black gowns, the former chose to accent hers with gold and the latter with silver! And now, you have to decide who looked better!

And in case you are wondering whats the clutch that Preity is carrying, it is but of course a Gucci, more specifically, a Gucci ‘Mirror’ evening bag! And you can have it too!

And Bipasha’s clutch has been making quite an appearance among the celebrities! It too is a Gucci clutch.

Vogue India is going to be debuting with a smokin’ hot cover with Bipasha Basu in Roberto Cavalli, Gemma Ward in Valentino, Priyanka Chopra in Giorgio Armani, Lakshmi Menon in Chanel, Preity Zinta in Christian Dior, and Monikangana Dutta in Gucci!

I think Basu and Dutta totally steal the show, umm, cover! But this cover totally reminds me of the inaugaral cover of Vogue China which also had the seemingly mandatory Gemma Ward.
