#Trending - Tangerine

For a colour that the fash frat has avoided for the longest time to avoid looking like a pumpkin, orange is finally having it’s day in the sun. Over the last few seasons, designers like Proenza Schouler, Miuccia Prada and Michael Kors have extensively been using this lush hue in their runway presentations. Even celebrities like Solange Knowles, Mary Kate Olsen and Lady Gaga have also been spotted in the most eye-catching of tangerine outfits. You too can imbibe tangerine into your wardrobe by way of tailored separates, or chic accents like an oversized patent leather tangerine coloured clutch or neon orange costume jewellery. The newly re-located multi designer store Kitsch(now at Defence Colony, right below Ritu Dalmia's award winning Diva) has many a chic tangerine options from the crème da la crème of international brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCarteny and Alexander McQueen. Here, we show you how to stay on top of this trend without looking like an Oompa Loompa. Opt for simple silhouettes and pair with neutral colours. Pile on some statement accessories and you’re good to go!

Sorry for the lack of posts(and the lack of decent outfit posts),but as I mentioned i'm upto my neck in submissions,and because i'm in a professional design college, I can't get away with copying off my friends at the last minute and the perfectionist that I am(haha I still can't say that with a straight face),it takes me extra long to get everything just right!

Anyhow this post is not about the torture they put us through in college(I kid),but it is actually a post to introduce ya'll to my tumblr account.And so, without sounding like a tumblr obsessed maniac further ado, i'll let the pictures/gifs do the talking.For more awesomeness, check out my tumblr account here.

and oh,rihanna's back to her dirty(read: sexed up/dark) ways with her new single s&m.

Born This Way.

Ok so as you may or may not know,my first ever post was on Lady Gaga(yes,I was crazy about her back then,'back then' being the operative words).But half a year has passed since then,and as a friend pointed out today,let alone being a shrine,I haven't had a single post on her since!So I think it is only fitting for me to dedicate this post to Her Holy Gaga-ness,what with her new album coming out,and she being on the brink of world domination yet again.So in the past 6 months lots has happened,to Lady Gaga that is!...

she wore a meat dress to the VMA's,



stood up for gay rights(don't ask don't tell),



her stylist and creative director for Vogue Hommes Japan,Nicola Formichetti(the male equivalent of Anna Della Russo?), became one third of the creative team at Thierry Muggler,




was on the cover of Vanity Fair(not an easy feat!!),




got the ultimate honour in fashion,by landing on the cover of American Vogue(Anna Wintour is a tough cookie to crack),




and finally, came out with an awesome single 'Born This Way'(also the name of her new album).



Also she walked,or rather was carried by scantily clad men,on the Grammy red carpet in a faux egg.WOW,just when you thought she could'nt beat the 'meat' dress.

All hail the New Queen of Pop!

Considering what a big Gaga fan I am , dedicating my first post to her was quite an obvious choice. While haters might say everything from her look to her videos have been inspired by the original 'Queen of Pop', those of us who appreciate her for her musical as well as sartorial genius will have to admit that she has single-handedly(well, maybe not single-handedly ,since all of us have at some point or the other heard stories about her 'team') managed to get out the music as well as the fashion industry from the rut it was stuck in all these years. Not since Bjork's infamous 'swan' dress at the Oscars , has the public taken so much interest in what a celebrity is wearing!It really makes you wonder , how were we surviving without her all these years!!

Above I have compiled a few of my favourite Gaga looks!!
