The dress above was McKell's creation made from a shirt and some additional fabric, and in my opinion, this should not have been the losing design. I thought it was a cute dress when I saw it. And the judges sent other people through who had done FAR less. Click HERE for a recap and to see a slideshow of Project Runway's season premiere's designs.

The Dress That Lost on Project Runway's Season 8 Premiere.

CHANEL'S Sheer Styles are NOT Ok.
I'm not really sure what type of look CHANEL is going for with these sheer styles but I for one am not feeling this direction. At all. On ANYONE. Kristen Stewart wore her sheer CHANEL gown to the 2010 MET Costume Gala in New York earlier this year and the dress just looked... cheap. Blake Lively wore her sheer midriff (o_O) CHANEL dress recently to a NYC screening of "Twelve" and, well, look at it! The dress just looks... cheap. Notice the

New Music: Lauryn Hill's "Repercussions"
Stylish Workout
Talking of style and fitness together, the first name that pops in my mind is Stella McCartney. Adidas collaborated with Stella McCartney and the lady has put in some real design into her fitness line. She adds interesting details that add intrigue to her pieces and turn something basic and expected into the unexpected. And trust me, with one of those pieces in your workout wardrobe, you would love to go to the gym!!!!
Nike for sure is a must-have in every workout wardrobe, Nike shoes, their pants, tanks and their famous dri-fit collection.
Girls, enough of talking. I've created some stylish workout looks and also added some stylish celebrity workout looks. With clothes this great, you'll actually want to exercise every day.
Look 1: Sexy, Chic and Comfortable
Go for a jog or head the gym in these dead gorgeous Stella McCartney (Adidas) shorts with rolled up legs and running shoes, team it with a white vest or the purple vest and for cover up the track jackets (£32-49) in grey or yellow would finish the look perfectly.
Look 2: Stylish and Comfortable
Combine style and comfort by layering over form-fitting separates and understated sneakers for sporty chic. Work out in style in Nike black track pants (£29.5), a yellow (£19.99 ) or a black (£14.99) tank top layered with Adidas by Stella McCartney pleated cotton track top with puff pleat-detailed shoulders (£77.17) and paired with Adidas by Stella white tennis sneakers with yellow and grey trim (£110.58).

While other ladies choose to add a pop of colour, down below black and white reigned.
Kim Kardashian was spotted walking from the gym in a white tank top, sports bra and black stretch pants after a morning workout. Kim carried a black Balenciaga bag to carry hold over knick knacks.
.
Gym was what Kim, Ashley and Eva preferred, but Gwyneth and Renee loved their jogs on the streets.
Gwyneth Paltrow went for a jog in her local neighborhood wearing a black Adidas by Stella McCartney track top paired with cropped grey pants while saving herself from the harmful UVA rays in her smart aviators.

Snow in Summer
Well, not really, but with this magical picture you'd think it is!
(PS, moved to London now, but still no internet in the house, will be back to full blogging soon I promise :)
Bollywood goes Haute in Aisha
Both the movies have the Big Fashion element, and we're glad that the Indian actresses are learning the world of style and chic.
.
Aisha, which is co-produced by PVR Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films Co. Ltd, is a film that deals with a fashionable girl played by Sonam Kapoor, who is also very fashionable in real life.
The movie has tied up with high-end international brands such as Christian Dior, Salvatore Ferragamo and Chanel and is Indian cinema's first ever chick flick. Experts in the brand integration business say premium brands have been used in Bollywood films before but it’s for the first time that a film has incorporated so many high-end products at one go.
.
We've all seen the Promos of Aisha and they're nothing short of very stylish. All the female leads are looking chic and sophisticated. The effort that has gone into the clothes is close to what we've seen in the likes of Devil Wears Prada and Sex and the City.
The female lead Sonam Kapoor and the rest of the cast will be swathed in as many as 60 Dior dresses and accessories.
.
.
Amrita Puri is clad in Anamika Khanna, while Sonam Kapoor wears a white one-shouldered mini with Lady Dior bag and Ira Dubey looks quirky in Manish Arora's Mickey Mouse Warrior top worn with short shorts and knee-high black boots.

.Aisha has also tied up with premium home linen brand Portico. Sonam Kapoor’s bedroom in the film has been done up by Portico.
.
.
Other designer whose creations would be seen in Aisha is Anamika Khanna. Paticularly Amrita Puri (Who plays Shefal in the movie) would be seen in a lot of Anamika's creations.
At the Delhi Couture Week, Amrita Puri, Lisa Haydon and Ira Dubey of ‘Aisha‘ walked for Anamika Khanna along with Anil Kapoor. The guy sure takes the limelight from all the sexy girls, but love what Ira is wearing.
.

.Now that the movie is released, we're not at all disappointed with what we saw. The plot was good, the girls looked good, and yes Sonam did have a fantabulous wardrobe in the movie. Her style in the movie looked like an imitation of Blair Waldorf’s (Leighton Meester) of Gossip Girls (American series) in many parts of the movie. The viewers of Gossip Girl can better relate Sonam’s appearance with that of Blair Waldorf, her dresses, colours of her ensemble and handbags even. But it is still a great look and light fun girlie movie.
At last Bollywood is learning to style!!!

Both the ladies looked stunning in thei respective Falguni and Shane Peacock's creations, but I like Naomie Harris better. Which one do you prefer?
Amrapali Jewelry
Not only the Indian designers, but even the Indian jewlery has made its mark in the world. Amrapali, one of India's premiere fine jewelry companies renowned for their beautiful, modern interpretations of classic Indian fine jewelry, has become a favourite with Hollywood celebs.
