Globe Nominations!

Yay the Golden Globe nominations are out.That means we are that much nearer to the awards season and I for one cannot wait(yes yes I am an awards show enthusiast,mock me all you want).For starters, lovestruckcow will be pleased as punch to know that 'Black Swan' has picked up quite a few nominations including Best Picture and Best Actress-Drama for Natalie Portman's portrayal of a haunted ballerina(something tells me that she's going to get lucky at the Oscars this year,just a hunch or wishful thinking,I mean she sure as hell deserved a win for her star turn in 'Closer').'The Social Network' too picked up quite a few nods,and I can without a doubt say will go home with the Best Picture and Director awards(poor Christopher Nolan,he could'nt have picked a worst year to release Inception).Colin Firth will win Best Actor-Drama fo sho for his portrayal of King George the 6th in The King's Speech.In Best Television Series-Drama I want Dexter to win,even though I know Mad Men will be fourth time lucky.Likewise in the comedy category I would prefer it if 30 Rock or Glee won,but something tells me Modern Family will be triumphant at the Globes too just as they were at the Emmys.The biggest Globe shocker though has to be Burlesque getting nominated for Best Movie-Musical or Comedy-considering one film critic described it as Showgirls meets Glitter, begging the question-does it really deserve the nod?Also i'd like to give a shoutout to Emma Stone(whose comic timing and choice in movies I absolutely love) and like really hope she wins her first globe for Easy A,even though I am most definite that either Annete Benning or Julianne Moore will win in that categoryt(Best Actress-Musical or Comedy).So untill January 16th next year, keep your fingers crossed and hope that my Golden Globe favourites don't go home disappointed :P

My First Dress Went a Little Like This

Ok so as you may or may not know,I'm currently in design school, and recently made my very first dress,and as is the tradition,am sharing the almost awesome results with ya'll.This time too my sister Huma was kind enough to take on the ardous task of modelling the clothes.So the inspiration for the shoot(if u can call it that, was those oh so stylish upper east siders on 'Gossip Girl' and 'Teen Vogue' fashion editorials).However the end results turned out way different,but nice nonetheless.Btw i styled the shoot as well,so do let me know what you think!









High waisted tiered skirt-actually my dress with the top bit folded in(a boy's-make that stylist-gotta do what a boy's gotta do),white tank top-Zara,pearls-Forever 21,handbag with gold chain handle-Zara,brooches-off the street in Rajasthan(believe it or not).

And oh if you hadn't already figured out the title of the post is actually a play on the 3-OH-3's song 'My first kiss went a little like this'(just thought you'd like to know).

It's All In The Details

At a time when reality shows rule the roster and being loud(bordering on being obnoxious) gets you noticed, I really admire people who have a quiet confidence about themselves,and treat everyday acquaintances just as nicely as they would their near and dear ones.Someone wise once said, 'God is in the details' and rightly so.The way you thank the doorman when he holds the door open for you, or the way you handle a situation when things aren't exactly going your way, reveals your true qualities and the kind of person that you are.At the risk of sounding like an elitist,I would like to point out that our family and upbringing has a lot to do with it, and is what separates the nice from the not so nice.So the next time you meet someone new, don't let the hotness of their Facebook profile pictures or their fancy toys (read: Blackberrys, designer flats or any other thing that they might have bought to make up for what they lack in personality) fool you, and pay attention to the small things.

Yes I do realize that this particular post is not even remotely related to fashion , music or any other pop culture phenomenon, but I just felt like I needed to do this,get this out there in the virtual world.So with a little help from recent events(such as watching 'The Social Network'-the review for which will follow shortly-amongst a host of other incidents)I gathered the courage to share this deeply personal side of me.Wait, don't get the handkerchiefs out yet, your favourite fashion blog(the things we'll tell ourselves to keep ourselves happy :P )will be back with more light hearted frothy fashion centric posts shortly.So until next time,keeping it real.Sartorial Diary.

Colour Blocking

Ok so these pictures were a part of my street style assignment,and my sister Huma,who almost always has to serve as my guinea pig whenever i'm in the mood for styling,hairstyling et al, has been after my life to put these up.So here goes,and do let me know what you think of my styling efforts(or lack thereof).Be nice!







blazer-Promod,red mid waisted pants-Zara,white tank top-Zara,black patent leather tote-River Island,bejewelled flats-a shop in Promenade whose name i can't seem to remember,bangles-Sarojini/Goldy's Nest.

And seeing how much fun I had doing this,I am going to make this a regular feature.So until next time.
