Deepika's wowy Cocktail look Sa if Ali Khan's home production Cocktail film with Deepika Padukone is already making waves (it released on Friday 13 July). Well, while some are liking the film's music to the hilt ( Bandhu song shot beautifully in South Africa ), most urban audience is raving about the stylish look of the film. Nevermind the content of the film, the two beauties make up for every design flaw. Deepika Padukone's Aztec skirt (short with motifs on it), high volumnised ponytail (sure, you too can make it) and chunky accessories are truly wow-worthy. Girl with the Blue Scarf says : It's return of the cool, stylish fun girl look. Thanks to Cocktail , there's no reason why you mustn't try it out now. Go on Youtube and check the link, which gives step-wise display of making volumnised ponytail. And team the high hair with a short skirt and tee. You go girl!

Cheers to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan It's a given that most Indians who follow Bollywood, Fashion and the Miss India pageant were excited to know what Aishwarya Rai Bachchan , the original Indian choice for Cannes Film Festival , former Miss World and a longstanding ambassador of L'Oreal Paris will wear at Cannes in the beginning of May. But most of us are relaxed and happy now. Aish's choice of outfits have been rather suitable and safe on most occasions, especially during media calls at the French Riviera. Post her child birth in November 2011, she has made fewer public appearances for obvious reasons. A hands-on momma, she visited Cannes with her daughter Aaradhya , mother Vrinda Rai and her stylist and then made heads turn with great elan. Girl with the Blue Scarf says: Take a look at Aish's different looks at the Cannes Film Fest Festival 2012 over the 5 days. She chose Angelo Katsapis on Day 1; Roberto Cavalli on Day 2; Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla at the amfAR

Brad Pitt, the 'attitude hottie'

Brad Pitt at Cannes Film Festival 2012 Here's one hottie who's made heads turn at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival 2012 at the French Riviera. He came to attend a photocall for the film 'Killing Them Softly', by director Andrew Dominik. I find such attitude in his face that his height or lean physique doesnot even cross the mind. Now, waiting for Indian beauty Aishwarya Rai to make her presence felt at the red carpet there as the brand ambassador for L'Oreal. Wonder what thsi young mommy would prefer to wear - a saree or a salwar kameez.

YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET LIST

Image
Many years ago, I happened to watch the film Bucket List , starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman . The duo were terminally ill and decided to jot down extreme things they wanted to do before they kick the bucket. The idea fascinated me to no end. So much so, that I made my travel bucket list , where I would visit a place and do something extreme there (desirable enough in my eyes). And so, in New Zealand , I tried white river rafting in rapids 4. The gush of strong currents in the water, crew members of different nationalities and one wrong stroke, we would've ended up capcising in the cold waters. Sky diving was another WTF moment. But absolutely worth it. This time, I'd like to ask you to jot down your travel bucket list. Where would you wanna head and what would you like to experiment with. Here go the suggestions: 1. Dance with Dervishes in Turkey . Connect with the spiritual world. But don't cheer or clap, it's considered an insult as the ritual is

Rohit Bal presents Lakme Grand Finale Summer Resort 2012

The Grand Finale presented by Rohit Bal , designer par excellence and the ultimate Master of Craft and Creative Design, was a mind blowing collection inspired by Lakmé Absolute Fast & Fabulous woman to end the Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012. Akin to Rohit Bal’s inimitable style, Lakmé for the first time hosted the Grand Finale at the lawns of the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai . Pristine ivory pillars served as a backdrop for stunning models that walked down the ramp. Five carved life-size white cones lined the ramp (with models standing inside) while numerous hung from the branches of the trees surrounding the lawns. True to its legacy, Lakmé launched its Fast & Fabulous collection of 30 fashion forward nail colours that speed dry in 40 seconds. (They are already available in stores). The show opened with Silver Strings - a spirited trio of beautiful ladies, who enthralled the audience with their virtuosity on the violins. As the lights came on, the five cones rose to rev

Manish Malhotra out, James Ferreira in

Bollywood stylist and leading designer Manish Malhotra will not showcase at Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2012 on March 2, 2012. Instead James Ferriera will. The organisers of Lakme Fashion Week were in for a shock when designer Manish Malhotra cited date issues due to extreme work load in films and dropped out of showcasing at the LFW, in the prime slot of 9.30 pm on Day 1(March 2). Instead of Manish, veteran designer James Ferriera will return to his Mumbai roots after 6 long years and showcase in that slot now. Incidentally, the off-site show (Rohit Bal has done an off-site show last season) plan, which was to take place on March 1 and then followed by a 'By-invitation-only' party for fashionistas, models and designers did not take off. This time, only the party is happening and that has left some stylistas thinking 'What's up'? Now, the news of Manish pulling out also has turned out to be a dampener of sorts but James has filled in. Waiting for some youn

Get Well Soon Freddy!

Model Freddy Daruwala meets with grave bike accident, hospitalised Sunday evening (Feb 12, 2012) was a nightmare for leading male model Freddy Daruwala, who met with a major bike accident on the Mumbai-Nashik highway. He was immediately hospitalised at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai and was diagnosed with a crack in the spinal cord, broken collar bone and damaged index finger. Out of danger now, every time the doctor induces anaesthesia to him, he keeps saying, "I should've been more responsible."  Freddy, former Mr India, was to take off to Delhi for the ongoing Wills India Fashion Week there. All his plans to walk the ramp for established designers now stay altered. He was also selected to walk the ramp at the upcoming Lakme Fashion Week for designers Rohit Bal and Manish Malhotra amongst others in March, now that too will be put on hold. Being a self-confessed biking enthusiast, he often took off to weekend getaways from Mumbai with his biking gang. His friends f
