My ladies if I had been a man, I would have definitely swept the bold and beautiful Marion Cotillard who seemed to have kept the men folk twisting throughout for more with her rather daring dress. For sure, she knows how to hog the limelight as she did this year in the Oscars.

Well, now if you would go back and take a look at one of the designers collection who had displayed similar pattern of dress in his stunning collection is none other than Jean Paul Gaultier. The dress worn by Marion was featured in Gaultier’s Spring 2008 collection which was done in green and gold colour.

Now that we know where the dress came from and what kind of effort have went into tailoring that dress for such a big occasion, let us say kudos man, you have done it again. Marion is not only a great actress; she has a way in her of keeping in sync with the latest trends in the market. Way to go woman!

Hallelujah! Alas my favourite time of the year is here. The chirpy, swinging spring of course; the weather can never get better; the slow feathery breeze just transports you to an ecstatic world of romance and fantasy. This is also that time of the year when you do not have to worry about keeping yourself warm as the weather is neither too hot nor cold and you can flaunt the best of cloths. All that is needed to do is to pick up the right kind of dresses.

Picnic, date, outing or hitch hiking you can travel light, which will make your trip all the more enjoyable. Well how can I forget window shopping and the flea markets visit every week?

Okay folks I got a special something for you. I have something similar and so thought that the young ladies out there should try this mini shorts by Ben Sherman. Since shorts are an in trend this season, you may as well get this striped mini short in your wardrobe. They are absolutely made out of 100 percent cotton and done in red, white and blue colours. You can team it up with pair of canvas or a cool pair of floaters. There goes a matching jacket for you as well.

With the spring season taking over and chilly winter’s slowly bidding adieu, it is time that you take off all the extra layers off your body. After all, it is time to disco and bask in the lovely spring sun, lying down on your bare back at some romantic beach.

Did the idea sound fascinating enough to lure your boyfriend to book the flight tickets right away? If he has agreed that’s a different matter altogether but this spring you will get to wear all the flowers in the garden as the designers in the recent Fashion Weeks paraded a galore of floral work in almost all the big time collection.

Designing divas talks about the Floral dresses that were showcased as a part of Ralph Lauren’s 40th Anniversary collection. His collection was all about silk georgette evening dress all intricately done with floral motifs. Here’s one such dress for you to view so that you can pick few right away.

I am a fashion lover, an impulsive shopoholic, a spendthrift and an ardent lover of all new designs in the market. Girls love shoes and so do I. I am no exception to the fact that had it been possible I would have bought every single designer shoes out there from the market and stashed it in all the shelves of my shoe rack. Nevertheless, unfortunately my work hardly leaves me much of time to explore the latest trends in the market. However, I have found a very interesting way of keeping myself updated with all the styles flooding the market. What else, by surfing the online stores…

This season it’s time for bright colours. Well girls if you are still pondering on what to buy this summer, here goes my first pick for the season. I just came across this red pair of shoes by Manolo Blahnik from the Spring/Summer 2008 collection. Aren’t they just so cute? I have made up my mind to get one of them, now it’s your turn.

Which is the colour that you prefer during the scorching summer season? Definitely not, black again as daytime wear. I think it makes sense not to thwart away all the bright coloured dresses that are all over the place.

My good old fashion sense says that black as a colour soaks in lot of heat when worn under the bright sun, so you should better stick to other lighter and rainbow shades. Now which fabric would you prefer in a hot day? I always go bang on for cottons, but chiffons outfits are gorgeous too. They not only give you a sexy look but makes you more feminine in appearance.

Look at this Silk-Chiffon-knee-length-frock. The dip-dyed dress by Lipsy sports a V neckline in both the front and back with ruffle panels that slopes down. The satin lining makes it even softer and the short sleeves followed by the under-bust lining is just perfect to fit your body.

Your price is £75.00.

Every woman is conscious about her health these days. Well, it would be an idiotic thing to say to any woman that she is fat. That is the worst thing for her under the sky.

Okay, let me not stray away from what I was just about to tell you. What kind of money are you willing to throw to have a killer figure? Hold on, I am not suggesting that you straightaway hit the gym. There are thousands of other ways to lose weight. From your morning jogs, to doing a few yoga for at least half an hour a day will take care of your figure.

Now, you must be thinking why I am giving you such advices. My dear ladies, I just came across this lovely figure hugging dress. I want you all to look ultra chic. With the neat curves that you have already worked on, here is that ultimate outfit to make your man go gaga over you. This herve leger dress looks good on your slim figure and the shades are so bright that it will outshine anybody in the streets. The glove like fine shape of the dress fits your fish figure hugging it with a feathery touch.

Every time I go to buy a fashionable product, I try my best to check out and purchase trendy and rare to find sandals. I love to make my feet look gorgeous.

I came across these peep toes designed by Christian Louboution, which give a flavor of the continent of Africa. I am simply attracted to these mules with African print. They are extremely chic and elegant too. The knot which rests on the top of these pretty mules has taken all my attention. The combination of pink and brown color is rare and it actually enhances the charm of the product. The red sole lends an exclusive style to the mules. It looks amazing. The fabric used in the making of this designer sandal is 100% silk while the leather of the shoe is undoubtedly uncontaminated. The 5-inch high heel of the peep toes is actually mesmerizing.

You would have to spend only £375 in order to own these print mules which have a tinge of the wild continent. It is not too great a price for lending an African flavor to your style.

What is life without style? It is not always that you dress for those significant others in your league but then you stay in trend all by yourself and all for yourself. Isn’t it? I love staying fashionably cute everyday. Be it an old ragged jeans and a worn out tees that says ‘I am single and sexy’ and a flat Indian Jaipuri juti. For me style is all about comfort and I wouldn’t compromise comfort for anything that makes me fidget with the outfit that am wearing throughout the day and make others wonder what is wrong with me.
Few fashion fundas that I apply in my day-to-day office life.

Always keep a pair of whitewash jeans ready on you. Even torn denim will do.
White t-shirt is an essential.
More options, you can get seven different shades. Throughout the year there is a sale going on in one or the other store. So, just pick up few from United Colours of Benetton (UCB), Uni Style Image (USI), Levis, Reeboks or Adidas. Even the local picks from the flea-markets looks fab.
A pair of Jaipuri juti, or few flip-flops are must-haves.
A leather bag, a big one, which can hold everything.
Last but not the least, few strings of beads to accessorize yourself.

Here is my list of pictures, of what I would love you guys to have in your closet. Take a look.
