Hollywood Celebrities such as Katie Holmes, Kate Bosworth, Blake Lively, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Beyonce and Bollywood babes like Katrina Kaif, Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Prachi Desai, Payal Rohtagi, Anushka Dandekar, Farah Khan have all been rocking purple lately.

Make sure you add purple to your wardrobe - you can wear a purple shirt, skirt, jacket or even a purple dress (loved purple satin dress at MANGO store). If you aren't sure about wearing purple, then add a splash of the color to your outfit instead of having it as a main color - try some purple shoes (there are awesome purple shoes at Charles and Keith) or a necklace or bracelet with purple gems or even a purple bag or clutch.

Is your lipstick safe? - LEAD IN LIPSTICK

I am sure that by now you have heard about the buzz about the report released by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics about potentially toxic amounts of lead in lipstick. Or must have come across the email claiming that many lipstick brands have high lead content that can cause cancer and even named about ten brands that contain lead (it said you could check this with a Gold ring, if your lipstick turns black if you scratch with your Gold ring then it has lead).
.
Many articles on the internet claimed that 'this was a email hoax'. But IT WAS NOT A HOAX (except of course the gold ring bit in the email).



.

Think twice before putting on your lipstick

Indeed many cosmetic giants use high lead content in their lipsticks and considering that lipstick is a make-up staple of millions of women this was very alarming.

From a news article on reuters: "The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics said tests on 33 brand-name red lipsticks by the Bodycote Testing Group in Santa Fe Spring, California, found that 61 percent had detectable lead levels of 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million (ppm)". It further says, "One-third of the lipsticks tested contained an amount of lead that exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 0.1 ppm limit for lead in candy -- a standard established to protect children from ingesting lead, the group said. Thirty-nine percent of the lipsticks tested had no discernible lead, it said."

Higher Levels of Lead were found in lipsticks from:
- Cover Girl
- Arbonne
- L'oreal
- Christian Dior (yes even I was appalled to know that such big brand can be on the list, and we pay them exorbitant amount to play with our lives, just so their lipsticks last longer. What a shame!!!!)

Lipsticks are best avoided by pregnant women: Experts say pregnant women should be extra aware when it comes to lead-tainted products. "Lead is a proven neurotoxin. It can cause learning disabilities. It's also linked to miscarriage and infertility," said Stacy Malkan of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. I would advice pregnant women to consult their physician before choosing their cosmetics (though I am not sure how many Indian physicians will be able to help you).

Be aware of what you are putting on your lips. If you have a doubt or are concerned write an email to the company requesting them to send you the information on the lead content of their lipsticks. Most good brands will provide you all the details.

.

.

After all what's in a lipstick

Don't be stingy on your lipstick and only buy good quality products. Cheap lipsticks available in the market maybe easy on your budget, but they can cost you your life.

You cannot not be sure of even the good brands, so a cheaper brand will contain what not. And as you know lipstick is something we women cannot live without. So please don't buy cheap quality lipstick.


List of companies you can consider buying:
Here are a few brands which have no lead or very low level of lead as per the legal limit that you could buy:
1. Clarins
2. Aveda
3. Suki
4. Shiseido
5. Kiehl
(will keep updating the list after getting the lead content info)

Liquid Lipsticks and colour lip glosses are safer than the lipstick candy in terms of lead content. And I love the glosses, it makes the lips look so delicious. So why not pick them?

I came across an article that gave a list of lipsticks with less than 0.02 parts per million (ppm) lead:
1. Avon Ultra Color Rich Cherry Jubilee
2. Body Shop Lip Colour Garnet
3. Body Shop Lip Colour Garnet
4. Clinique Long Last Lipstick Merlot
5. Dior Replenishing Lipcolor Red Premiere
6. Estee Lauder Maraschino
7. MAC Matte Lipstick Viva Glam 1
8. Revlon Superlustrous Love That Red
9. Revlon Superlustrous Bed of Roses
10. Revlon Colorstay Lipcolor Red Velvet
11. Tarte Inside Out Vitamin Lipstick
12. Wet N Wild Mega Colors Cherry Blossom
13. Wet N Wild Mega Colors Cherry Blossom


There is no harm in knowing both the arguments
Contrary to this campaign claiming that lipstick contain lead, some experts are still claiming the authenticity of the report by Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Well we would not know how much truth is there unless we do the check ourselves. My advice is to be an educated consumer and be cautious. There is no harm in switching brands if you are doubtful.

Read Paula's Report in which she cites the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics as "swift in crafting a press release that is the very definition of fear mongering."

SCARVES - fashion item to pep you up INSTANTLY!!!

Scarves are beautiful and really trendy piece of accessory. They are the most versatile of all pieces of clothes. They add color and style to any outfit and can change the look of an ensemble almost immediately!

Scarves make a big fashion statement and are closely associated with certain famous fashion names, like Hermes (did you read Devil Wears Prada? how that woman Miranda drops her Hermes scarves everywhere).

In my opinion a scarf can do the whole outfit (instead of putting on loads of accessories to complete the look) and guess what they are incredibly inexpensive.



Creating different looks

Feminine and sophisticated - the trick to being trendy is to wear your scarf imaginative ways.

So be creative with your scarf and have fun trying out the many different ways to wear your fashion scarves.

You can wear it around your neck loosely knotted, tie it around your waist to make it a wonderful belt, wear it as a headband with the ends loosely hanging over your front shoulder, tie one around the handle of your handbag, or wear a long scarf wrapped around your head in the style of a snood.

- On of the most popular (and currently on-trend) looks is to wear a patterned scarf tied-up in a bow over sweaters and under jackets and blazers. Pick from paisley to polka-dots.

- Add glam to your simple tee or make your simple cami-top look classy, just wear a piece of scarf with your outfit.
.
Kareena Kapoor (right) looked very urban chic outside the airport with her beau and at (left) at Time India Food Guide Awards.

- To add a splash of colour to your conservative or a plain boring suit consider a tiny stand-out scarf that will peak out.

- Another great way to use a scarf is as a head wrap or headband to bring a boring look truly to life like Audrey Hepburn, the way she wears the scarf around her head looks so classic. And I love the headband look of Audrey.


.

Scarves - always fashionable

The scarf has been around for more than hundred years and has been mostly used as an utilitarian fashion accessory. But today its not just 'utility', it is a BIG FASHION ACCESORY that instantly turns a woman look chic and stylish or trendy and funky.
For the women of Paris, the scarf has been a standard wardrobe element regardless of age or economic status, and they are famous for their ability to knot, toss, wrap, tie, loop, fold, etc. in an amazing assortment of stylish looks.

Dress it up or dress it down. Keep a scarf handy so you never need to be chilly or poorly accessorized.


An investment fashion accessory

If you are on a tight budget, adding a scarf to your wardrobe will make it look plentiful even if you wear the same outfit over and over again. Adding a scarf can update your look, making people think you have a whole new wardrobe even if it is just the scarf you have added!

The pink top Kareena is wearing (top), minus the scarf and a new jeans can make her look completely different the next time.


Scarves for summer

Its a general belief that Scarves are only a winter fashion item. BUT IT IS WRONG. Scarves have no particular season to be worn. Stores bring out various types of scarves for every season and weather type.

For summer choose scarves made of flowie, light weight cottons or light textures such as chiffon. Satin and polyester blends are thin and cool and will add detail without adding to the heat factor. You can choose from many complimentary styles and patterns.

In fact once the AC cools the summer temperature, the summer attire can get uncomfortable indoors. With a scarf, you have the added comfort of warmth as well as the flexibility to take it off outdoors if you get too warm.


Celebrities making fashion statement with scarves

Scarves are timeless, beautiful piece of accessory, so lots of celebs wear scarves to all kinds of events, from a walk in the city to red carpets of most glamorous ceremonies. Take a look at these stylish women and their use of the scarf.

Katie Holmes - adding light to her look


You see what a scarf can do to your look? Katie Holmes scarf sporting completely turned her look around. Her scarf makes her look noticeable and turns her simple black sheer top and jeans ensemble into chic styling.

Shenae Grimes - casual and red carpet look



Shenae Grimes (right) makes heads turn with her simple yet stylish look consisting of a white button-up shirt with a white scarf teamed with a black high-waisted skirt, black socks, and black lace-up boots. The scarf surely made her complete outfit interesting.

Miss Grimes (left) looked casual-yet-stylish in a black tank top with a dark red scarf, slim fit jeans, and tan suede moccasin-style ankle boots. The red scarf surely changed her simple look..... .

Hilary Duff and Adriana Lima


gym look turned stylish (left) - Hilary Duff dressed casually, sporting her gym duds paired up with a yellow and black checkered scarf wrapped around her neck. I surely love what she has done with that scarf, she pepped up her track pants and sneaker look completely.

Celebrities' pick: Lots of celebrities love 'Tolani Scraves' from Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson, Kelly Osbourne, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa Minnillo to Sienna Miller.

Photographer
He captures the best moments of your LIFE (from your wedding). So many people don't give too much heed to photographer, but I think a good photographer is a MUST-HAVE, even if it means shelling out a little extra. You cannot skimp on someone who will show you your wedding through his pictures for the rest of your life.
Vogue featured two photographers: Karen Wise (001-917-5399908) and Ilesh Shah (9879799964) in their Bridal Issue.
.
IMPORTANT NOTES FROM THE ISSUE:
- "Personalised gifts and favours for each guest are becoming a huge trend"
- "Keep your wedding gifts' tags intact and make a list of what each person has given you. On personalised stationery, write thank you notes, mentioning the gift they've given and what you've done with it"
- "Brides should drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices in between the meals to keep them going, as they need energy more than anyone else"
-"Foods to avoid bloating - strong coffee, colas and alcohol; avoid eating raw salad and lentils for one day before"
- "Skin Prep Tip - apply L'Occitane Olive Radiance Masque half an hour before make-up for super smooth skin"
- "Rick Dicecca, global make-up stylist at Estee Lauder, says that the big bridal make-up trend this season is - a very shimmery, smoky eye with beautiful pale lips" [i will skip the pale lip part as Indian brides with the dark reds, pinks or similarly coloured bridal lehengas will not look pretty with pale lips].

BEAUTIFY recommends:
The best designers for wedding lehengas:
- All those girls who want a smart yet Indian wedding lehenga in different colour (bored of the usual bridal lehenga's colour palette?) to make you look beautiful and sophisticated check out Shantanu and Nikhil's wedding collection, they have a wonderful range which is different from the oh-so-everywhere lehengas and sarees. I even like their sherwanis for men.
- To bring out that Indian girl within you, I will suggest Sabyasachi Mukherjee. The mix of fabrics, prints and a multitude of colours is Sabyasachi's expertise and the way he plays with his bridal collection will surely stop your groom's heartbeat when he will look at you on the wedding day.
- For those who can shell out over 3-4 lakhs on their lehengas and are looking for an exquisite and lavish creation then Tarun Tahiliani is your guy (also featured in Vogue). Vogue's November Issue says, 'Tarun Tahiliani has dressed everyone from Jemima Khan to Priya Chatwal on the most important day of their lives'.

.
So all those to-be bride and single girls - if you haven't got your Vogue copy yet, its time you grab one before it sells out. You can also gift it to your bride-to-be friend; it surely will make a beautiful gift.

Ten Best Perfumes For Winter

It is time to swap your summer fragrance for one that is more fitting with the days which are growing shorter and colder. In winter your perfume will develop more slowly and last much longer than it will when worn on a hot day. Winter perfumes gravitate towards bolder, warmer and intense smell. They are confident and potently feminine, rich and spicy, sexy and musky and romantic and sensuous.

These are the best hand-picked perfumes in no particular order that will make you smell divine with an air of sophistication while easily warming up the winter chill.
So get a whiff of these 10 most fabulous PERFUMES to smell delectable this WINTER.




1. Serpentine by Roberto Cavalli - A floral ambery fragrance with sultry oriental notes, Top Notes: mango flower, mandarin and artemisia; Middle Notes: tahitian tiare, violet leaves, black pepper; Dry Down: sandalwood, tolu balm and amber. It is rich, exotic, sensual, bold, sophisticated and a dangerous love affair. This is definitely a "not your average bear" eau de parfum- it isn't the sweet light/green or tropical florals we see so much lately. The opening note is a bit strong but it starts smelling even better as the time goes by. Just a little whiff goes a long way. You are sure to be complimented everytime you spritz this heavenly perfume (I always have been). Winter is a perfect time to choose a richer, fuller fragrance and this scores on both. Definitely recommended.
Word of caution: not for women who only like sweet, soft smells.
.
2. Delices de Cartier by Cartier - The dark red flacon, inspired by a Cartier brooch, is gorgeous and glistens like a jewel. The fragrance features frozen morello cherry, bergamot, pink, white and yellow jasmine, pink pepper, freesia, violet, tonka beans, amber and sandalwood. With a floral-fruity smell, the perfume is definitely richer with a beautiful harmony amongst the floral, fruity and ambery facets. The mix of fuity and woody fragrance smells divine and it is lighter than what you would expect from the House of Cartier. Key note: it lasts all day.

3. Organza by Givenchy - Blanketed with cinnamon, cedar, patchouli, vanilla and amber notes ORGANZA is sensual, vibrant, and composed of strength, it is not the smell of a little girl, or some flirty teenager. It is womanly. A super-strong but truly feminine perfume; even a little goes long way. Organza is sure to awaken your senses in the midst of the cold season. Don’t be shy - dazzle in dawn or dusk with this sensual perfume.

4. L'or de Torrente by Torrente - You will love the bottle of L'or, it is conventionally gorgeous; created by Herve Van Der Straeten. In fact it was the bottle that first compelled me to buy the perfume, but soon I loved the smell too. It is delicious and perfect for winters. A blend of black currant along with tangerine, hints of coffee, rose, vanilla, orchid and invaluable wood. L'or de Torrente is perfect for evening wear though does not last very long but long enough to last the evening.

5. 212 by Carolina Herrera - Every woman who has a love affair with Perfumes will surely have a bottle of 212. A long-lasting, off beat, light floral fragrance with musk undertones. An exciting fragrance experience that wraps the wearer in an intriguing veil of femininity and confidence - live life in the moment. Its light floral scent can last all day and provide mellow musky undertones for those intimate moments. I will call it a timeless fragrance for all seasons. This enticing fragrance is perfect for any time of day.

6. Euphoria by Calvin Klien - The sensual, rich tone of Euphoria makes it a must-have addition to your perfume's winter wardrobe. It has an addictive oriental fragrance that contrasts exotic fruits, seductive florals and a rich, creamy signature. The mix generates a spicy smell perfect for the winter.

7. Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb - Need a little luxury in a bottle cut like a multi-faceted diamond? This ultra-floral fragrance is just your pick. An all time classic, Flowerbomb is a high end scent with a mélange of creamy florals (jasmine, orchid, freesia, orange blossom, rose) resting on a warm base of patchouli and vanilla. The soft sweetness of Flowerbomb does not require effort to wear and its plush smell is not too brash or loud. Full-bodied and robust, it's for headstrong gals with a soft side. The perfect winter pick-me-up.

8. Romance by Ralph Lauren - Ralph Lauren has a range of one of the best scents ever and Romance is no different. Romance evokes the timeless essence of falling in love. The sensual essence of velvety woods, extravagant florals and seductive musk will definitely flower you with compliments. A refreshing fragrance that is sexy yet subtle and sophisticated (not too strong not too sweet), something that you can wear to visit your boyfriend's parents the first time (I read the boyfriend part in a magazine and really liked the idea).

9. Elle by Yves Saint Lauren - Love the smell; unpredictable and unique. A recent addition in the perfume market, Elle is the essence of femininity which embodies Yves Saint Laurent. A vibrantly feminine, audacious fragrance that blends dazzling floral and woody notes, including peony, pink berries and patchouli. It lasts longer and is perfect for this part of the winter, dramatic, nothing understated and beautiful.

10. Chance by Chanel - What I like about this fragrance is that it is a younger, fresher, floral fragrance from Chanel and a nice diversion from their usual heavy, overpowering scents. One of those perfumes that women of all ages can wear. Sounds contrasting? It will make you smell younger yet sophisticated, rich yet heavenly.


Here is a tip on how and where to wear perfume on your body?
Always apply perfume starting with lower body and working your way up to the top.
- A small amount of the perfume should be applied first on the pulse points of your body including inner wrists, inside of your elbows, behind knees and ears. The pulse helps to send out the scents.
- Spraying a little perfume into the air and walk straight into it helps diffuse perfume over the body.

Never rub wrists together after applying perfume. It will weaken and crush the smell. Consider using the same fragrance in various products including bath gel, body lotion, after bath spray and finally apply perfume, perhaps using stronger EDP Spray at the end. Absolutely do not apply perfume to jewelry. It may damage jewelry.

Everything that glitters is not Gold !!!!!!

With Winter approaching in full rage, Delhi is feeling the chill and Mumbai, after months of waiting, is starting to feeling the gentle cool breeze. Everyone is set for 2008-2009 Winter.
.

GLITTER GLITTER EVERYWHERE

Certainly the time has come to take out all those glittery clothes you had been hiding in your closets. We are already seeing them out with the fashion-'firsters'. ITS TIME TO GLITTER AND SHINE.

Take a look... SEQUIN GLAMOUR!!!!
.

Malaika Arora in a gold sequined dress. I am sure this look is best left to Malaika, most of us will look ghastly trying to replicate it.
.
and Hollywood in sequin........
.

.
.
This season's evening wear has to have that glitter and shine (not just with Pantene). One of the best party looks this Autumn and Winter 2008/09 is the all over sequin A-line tunic dress.
In fact you can also carry the look for the day, just make sure you don't overdo it. Many high street stores are using sequin and embellish for even the day wear.

.
How to wear the GLITTER AND SHINE:

- Sequins are perfect for a night out.
.
- Easy to work look: Pick a sequined or embellished shrug and team it with you dress or camisole and black pants. This is the easiest to carry and will work for almost everyone.
.
- An embellished jacket is a great pick and can be a very versatile item. Wear it with an evening dress, or pair with your jeans, to stay warm you can also wear them over your saree or tunics and still look great.
.
- A sequined fitted dress can work for you if you are confident enough to carry it and have a good body. Otherwise you can opt for a sequined tunic and can even team it with leggings or skinny pants.
.
- Sequins in sarees and salwar kameez is Indian wardrobe's staple.
- Accessorize to shine: Just choose some nice glittery accessory to add that sparkle to your look. It can be a sequinned bag, a crystal/diamond studded watch, a sequined belt, a standout brooch, or sequined leggings (strictly for the skinny girls and keep the rest of the look simple with those leggings).
.
- To keep it subtle and sohistiocated, when wearing any sequin clothing keep accessories to a minimum and add a pair of semi-sheer black tights to let the sparkle do the talking.
.
Strictly avoid Sequined Pants. Its best left for the catwalk.

Make sure that the sequined dress, jacket or top you buy is of good quality. A wrong pick can make you look from fab to disastrous.

HOT PICKS:

Wills Lifestyle Stores: WLS has tied up with designers like Anamika Khanna, Rohit Bal, Ashish Soni, Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna. Hot pick from WLS - the jacket below, Anamika Khanna for WLS. You can find it at Wills Lifestyle Store in major cities across India.


GLITTER AND SHINE - from the runway

You need not just have sequins to add shine. The tunic and skirt from Monisha Jaisingh's Autumn/Winter 2008-2009 collection are a perfect example.

I love the skirt.

The shiny salwar kameez from Pria Kataria Puri's Collection

.
A piece of accessory can also add glitter to your evening look.

I like the Cristal Watch Collection from Christian Dior, particularly this grey watch. It looks wonderful when tried on wrist.
