.. for us anyway!

The book launch in question was the photo-essay book about Sunil and Nargis Dutt written by their daughters Priya and Namrata. As usual, not only were the who’s who of Mumbai present but also making an appearance were their bags!

We (Well Heeled and I) couldn’t stop “oooh-ing” the uber-expensive Bottega Veneta Lizard clutch carried by Gauri Khan. (Life is really good when you are SRK’s wife!)

Buy via Neiman Marcus

We also caught Simi Garewal carrying her favorite, the LV Suhali L’Aimable shoulder bag.

Buy via eLuxury

Finally, the fabulous Neetu Singh-Kapoor carrying the timeless Chanel quilted clutch!

Who Dressed Worse?

Below are pictures of Divya Khosla and Vidya Balan at the Bhool Bhulaiyaa press meet (left and right, respectively) and its hard to judge who was worse off! While Khosla’s was downright blinding, gaudy and loud, not that I expected much else, but, Balan’s look was just ugly and dated and its unforgivable that she works on looking that way when she has such an old-world, classic, conventional charm that she could use to her advantage!

If you have $200,000 burning a hole in your bank, then, the piece above in emerald, diamond and rock crystal might just be it for you, estimated at just that, and up for auction by Christie’s!

Christie’s will be auctioning off eight pieces which are all crafted/designed in the Art Deco style of that era and all of which belonged to the Maharani of Kapurthala.

Some serious bling.

Padma Lakshmi’s Fusion-Chic Style

This picture of Padma Lakshmi’s is from a Zac Posen dinner held in November of last year but even though the picture is from the archives, the look is such a classic, I had to write about it!

Its once again about fusing two totally different looks/things and making it work! The Indian jewellery looks spectacular with the plunging neckline of her dress.

And here are some looks that can be teemed with western garb for the same style appeal!

Buy Via Art Karat

Buy Via Sonoor

I hate the cinched, pleating on her dress, its so unflattering but barring that, I love the silver grey of her dress which you know is a big trend for this Fall! And what is unexpected is her orange stole! Not a combination that immediately comes to mind but it totally works!
