Overall a very disappointing red carpet at the Oscars. Red color, statement jewelry, and one shoulder dresses were the trend. A (wo)man (Robin Roberts) is presenting with dear Tim Gunn. Robin looks so much better with longer hair. Love love love the Slumdog kids – adorable Poor Jessica Biel – her laundry was hanging from [...]

Delhi 6 – an unbearably long trip to Old Delhi
Posted in Bollywood, indian movies, movies, tagged Bollywood, delhi 6, dilli 6, movies on February 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Like many other Indians, I was looking forward to Delhi 6. After debating whether to watch it in the theater or online, I ended up watching it online because I am trying to save on expenses. Given the number of movies I watch each week, it makes sense to watch some of them online. And [...]
Disappointed with Freida Pinto
Posted in movies, tagged celebrity, freida pinto, slumdog millionaire on February 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I took a liking to Freida because she is charming, graceful, and seems humble. She also has a great style, and looks good in everything. With her becoming a media darling after Slumdog, she received a lot of coverage from top blogs, all loving her style, hair, beauty, and grace. However, I was deeply disappointed [...]
Dostana – sexy John and funny Abhishek
Posted in Bollywood, movies, tagged Bollywood, Dostana, movies on February 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I enjoyed watching Dostana, although some scenes seemed to be a drag. Overall a very funny movie, with oodles of chemistry between John and Abhishek. Their offline chemistry translated onscreen, and it was such a pleasure to watch them. Especially the scenes with Kiron Kher – so funny! Their bloopers and funny clips were hilarious, [...]
Miss India worldwide 2009
Posted in Bollywood, tagged miss india worldwide 2009, movies, pageant on February 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I watched Miss India worldwide online, and was appalled at the quality of contestants. The last one I watched was when Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai won. Nobody is even close to them in terms of grace, intelligence, and beauty. Both absolutely gorgeous women. I could not decide between Sushmita’s smile and Aish’s beauty, but [...]
The jumpsuit – fashion fad or folly
Posted in fashion, tagged fad, fashion, jumpsuit on February 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I hate jumpsuits – they look dowdy and ugly, and are impractical. If at all, they would work well only as shorts, not pants or capris. They look like high-waisted mommy jeans and you have to have a very flat stomach to make them work. When you sit, they tend to balloon up in the [...]
Movie – Tahaan
Posted in Bollywood, movies, tagged Bollywood, movies, tahaan on February 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I love watching movies, especially off-beat. I watched Tahaan yesterday – such a sweet movie! Reminded me of Children of Heaven. Purav Bhandare plays Tahaan, and he is the most adorable kid ever!! His acting is flawless and holds your attention completely. Small things like his dancing bring such joy to the heart that you [...]
Jill Stuart

I have heard of Jill Stuart, but came across the designs for the first time on Gilt. They feature drapery and pleats, and I cannot figure out what the essence is. What does the designer stand for? Not much innovation in designs. I like how the dresses flow though. Frills, pleats, and ruffles have been [...]
More sales from Gilt Groupe

I love Gilt Groupe and their sales. My second fav is Rue La La. I don’t like The Top Secret because their site is blah. Gilt is truly high fashion, Rue La La has stuff that you can actually buy because it is easier on the wallet. I wanted to post Alexander McQueen pictures but [...]
