If you’re following us on Twitter, you already know how much of a dillemma we are in! Buy gold or buy a Sabyasachi? Until mommy dearest knocks us in our head, we’re putting away money in the bank to buy the latter for now. :P

He made us fall in love with velvet and we didn’t even think that was possible. How delish are those velvet saris. Sigh.

We do have a complain though! It was bad enough that we were saving up to buy for ourselves. Now, we have to add a fund for the better halves and the children too! We are going to be broke pretty soon!

P.S. We love love love a Sabya show. It is not a catwalk. It is a theatrical presentation. Models don’t strut. They walk slowly and let you take in slowly the gorgeous creations as they walk by because you need that extra moment after being taken aback by the sheer beauty at the first sight! Catch the video at Lakme Fashion Week TV here!

In a graphic print McQ dress, Bandana took in the shows on day one of LFW. With the tan bag (Dior) and shoes providing contrast, we didn’t think the gunmetal necklace was really needed.

Two sightings of blogger Bryan Boy and we’re already drooling over two things we saw on him. At the Tote bash, he was spotted in a Prada Spring 2011 banana print top (pic with Arjun).

On day one of LFW, a delish blue python Miss Wu shoulder bag completed his blue look. Lusting over the Wu! Want so badly!

Wearing dresses in dove grey shade of white were Drashta & Bhavna with Drashta picking ankle-strap mary janes and Bhavna, nude slingbacks.

Loved that Drastha changed it right up giving us this soft feminine look. As for Bhavna, she didn’t look bad but her hair was a different story.

Gen Next: Lakme Fashion Week Winter Festive 2011

Like many others, we look forward to the Gen Next show with a lot of excitement and anticipation because you see new blood and with them, new possibilities.

The winter festive Gen Next edition of LFW 2011 showcased eight designers. Instant favorites were Urmi Ghosh for her playful designs and Teresa and Roger for the burst of colors.

Siddharth Aryan‘s collection also was noteworthy for its OTT designs but lacked cohesiveness. We did love the jumpsuit look though.

Farah Sanjana‘s Collars Galorez, rather aptly titled, brought focus to an area that not many of us pay attention to.
