short hair for summer (photo)

Cutest short haircut! This really makes her eyes stand out. LOVE IT!

Photo note:



For those of you finding me through a search on "short hair", I got this cut at the Space Salon in Soho back when they charged a lot less (http://spacesalon.net/). Required minimal upkeep - just regular haircuts and a bit of styling wax. I have since grown it out, but it was fun for a while!

***

This is probably one of my favorite styles I've seen in a while for women who want shorthair. It really highlights her face (great for oval faces, btw!)

Stylish Workout

Having the right clothes for any situation can not only affect your mood, it can affect your performance too. So why not hit the gym looking stylish yet being comfortable?

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.

While Renee Zellweger went jogging in the beautiful streets of Paris, near Eiffel tower, looking chic in her a black ensemble - black shorts, tank inside a black track jacket. Love her shoes.

A large tote is your gym must-have. It should have room enough to carry your bottle, towel, comb, wallet, keys, lip balm and other knick knacks.
.
Tired of the ubiquitous Nike and Adidas? Need some stylish and sexy sportswear, that wouldn't hurt too much of your pockets?
Lululemon (Canadian-based Yoga clothing company ), FitnessFit (sporty and stylish workout wear) and Victoria Secrets are some of the labels that you might want to try while shopping for your fitness wear.

Bollywood goes Haute in Aisha

A leading daily recently published an article, 'Couture Goes Haute in Bollywood's Aisha', and rightly so. Aisha is India's answer to the Hollywood fashionable Sex and the City. While Sex and the City is a collection of essays by Candace Bushnell (later adapted by a TV series), Aisha is based on famous book 'Emma' of Jane Austen.

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.

Aisha has also tied up with premium home linen brand Portico. Sonam Kapoor’s bedroom in the film has been done up by Portico.

Sonam's walk-in closet reminds me of Carrie's closet in Sex and the City.
.
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.

Aisha's Team at the Delhi Couture Week
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!!!
