Sonam Hits Cannes 2012

Sonam didn't stick to one designer but went all over from Gucci to Marni, rocking a variety of looks. I wish she would have focused on one or two looks and nailed those. My fav has to be the McQueen red carpet look. Love the red nails.

BBA Fashion Wrap Up

So, this week's wrap up was looking a little dull until 1) Kajol stepped out at Shantanu and Nikhil's store launch and 2) Freida made hearts skip a beat at her Tribeca screening of Trishna. Ummmm... I know y'all are a little tired of hearing about my love for Freida but I'm not stopping. SHE KILLED IT. It's a wrap.

Freida in Gucci with Fendi baguette. Perfection down to the butterfly! If this is the work of her stylist George, then he is genius.

Kajol looks stunning in Shantanu & Nikhil. She just needs to find the right (and better) foundation.

Shraddha Kapoor deserves a mention for her Dolce & Gabbana look & Padma is just FIERCE. 

Deepika for India's Architectural Digest

So... as most of you know I just returned from a one-week crash vacation in Mumbai (with a one night stopover in London). I have to say, I saw so much Indian+Chic inspiration that I don't know where to begin posting!  Well, actually, as I was staying in Juhu I continually crossed one billboard in particular that always made me gasp. It was Deepika for India's AD magazine. Take a look for yourself and, yes, more posts on my Mumbai experiences coming soon...

Lakshmi Menon, Elle and Eggplants!

Lakshmi Menon graces Elle Italy's cover for March 2012 and you can rest assured when I find the rest of the pics, I'll post them. In the meantime, what do you think of Dolce & Gabbana's eggplant inspired fashion?



La Dolce Vita!

Indians girls love their bling and I'm no exception. I first saw the Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2012 line on Katie Holmes in Instyle and ever since then I've been wanting to do a post on it. So here it is! No doubt you'll be seeing more of this collection on magazine covers around the world.

BBA 2012 Picks: Menswear

So it appears the Indian theme for 2012 has found its way to menswear. I often get asked why I don't do menswear for Haute Trotter. The truth is, I have yet to understand men so I have to wonder how I could ever begin to understand their fashion! lol. While women dress for other women, men dress for... women. Or at least the straight ones seem to. And women I understand! So, my best advice for any man trying to impress a women with fashion? Go for a name brand that resonates - like Dolce & Gabbana. Even if it is hideous, wear it and tell her it's D&G and watch her face transform. She'll be on you like a fat kid on cake.

Here are some of the looks I love from Dolce & Gabbana:

The other designer who went further with the Indian theme was Frankie Morello. Apparently he used his show to take a spiritual journey through the Himalayas. Neither the model nor the clothes were worth talking about but here's some pics anyway:
