Unveiled :Tom Ford Eyewear -Nicholas Hoult and Freja Beha Erichsen

Tom Ford is synonymous with sex and shock value. Recently unveiling his Fall/ Winter eyewear campaign Ford roped in A Single Man's Nicholas Hoult and a slight departure from his usual female leads Freja Beha Erichsen. The campaign is a twisted take, a mixture of Hitchcock's The Birds and Tom's take on blatant sexuality.

Nicholas is wearing Tom Ford eyewear as well as menswear.

Get Strappy!

DKNY SPRING 2010



Still carrying that hold all bag that contains everything but the kitchen sink? Thats so 2008. Spring 2010 hottest IT bag is the long strap bag. Seen on runways such as DKNY, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs this trend has returned after a long hiatus. I remember my Mom carrying such bags when I was around 8-9 and I'm now in my early 20s. Luckily enough she preserved one and I'm currently carrying that fabulous purse.

Closer home FCUK ( pictured above )and Mango have launched some beautiful long strap bags.

A fashionable way to go green!

World Environment Day was just yesterday and to celebrate that thought I'd mention a few ways to reduce your carbon footprint and do your bit for the planet fashionably!

• Unplug all electrical appliances when not in use. It's not enough to just switch it off. Studies have shown that by unplugging all appliances when not in use can lower the electricity bill by 10 %.
• Switch to a natural loofah. Using a plastic one will take 1000s of years to degrade.
• Invest in good quality clothes and accessories. Yes, its proven that by investing in garments that are of high quality will last you alot longer and not land up at a land fill.
• Carry a cloth bag where ever possible. Try and dissuade from accepting plastic bags.
• Avoid buying items that have excessive packaging.
• Try segregating garbage at home.The amount of junk that I threw away that could have recycled is heartbreaking.
• At work I had the annoying habit of using too many paper cups for my endless amounts of chai drinking. I now have got my own thermos.

I try as much as I can to use public transport. It's economical and earth friendly too.

Do try to incorporate these tips into your lifestyle. I switched to natural loofahs and carrying cloths bags everywhere. Segregating garbage is not that much fun but helps go a long way.

Try it!

Vanity Fair + Twilight

Cashing in on the Twilight fame, Vanity Fair shot a cover and editorial with some of the girls from Twilight. I'm not a die hard Twilight fan but I do love the editorial and the retro styling. The exquisite red gowns and lipstick are a throwback to the old Hollywood charm. I don't like the fact that Dakota looks too photo shopped for my liking.

The stars are wearing DKNY, Oscar de la Renta and one of my new favourite designers Prabal Gurung.
