'Caught on Cover'

2012-10-04T19:24:00.001+05:30

Don't Judge a Book by its cover... Unless.. Its a MAGAZINE..

New month... gets with itself our new stack of Fashion Magazines..!!

And the very first thing that catches our eyes, is the COVER !!

(PS: On average, a consumer will spend only three seconds looking at a

magazine on a newsstand before deciding whether or not to pick it up)

Well...October, seems like a pretty good month.. as we have a tough competition for the Best one..!!

With Vogue Coming out with it's 5th anniversary issue, starring Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma , Bazaar gave a bang on Sonakshi Sinha with a whole new avatar

(styled by none other than Anamika Khanna)..!!

Not just that... Grazia.. was simply Stunning, featuring Lakshmi Menon..in a Dior Dress..

(It took all our attention)!!

Diana Penty looked pretty too on the Elle, but not that tough..(we loved the Cover line and cover style) !!

While Kareena Kapoor being the current talk of Bollywood did the 3rd cover this month for Hello

(Also did with Femina & Notch), she indeed made her presence felt..

And lastly, Verve..with its annual best dressed issue, did a great job choosing the correct Cover girls.

Decision time: our vote goes with Grazia this month....What about you ?

'Smart Saturday's'

2012-09-29T11:57:00.000+05:30

Gone are the days when formal wear was just a 'Monday to Friday' routine, and definition of casual was

t-shirt & denims.

The divisions in our wardrobes have finally dissolved, & mixing pieces has not only expanded our ways to style ourselves, but has also made dressing up more fun.

So don't let your jacket hang in the closet, for those special meetings at work, wear them in the day with a 'T', shorts, or denims, and glamorize them at night with a sequined tank or dress.

Go for classic solids or preppy prints.

Widen the color spectrum from chic 'White', to funky 'Neons'.

Play with different styles, & never forget to accessorize,

Its time to Mix & Match.
