Rock the lastest summer pop trend!

Some time back I did a post on the Pop colours trend. But even though they are quite a rage, many people fail to pull it off mostly because they don't know which colours would suit them. 
So here's a cheat sheet to make the pop tints work for you:



 


For dusky skin tones


Even though it's my favourite type of skin tone, it's a bit sad that most people with dark skin tone go wrong with this style. People with such skin tone should stay away from bright reds and the like. Try dark coral tones or warmer shades like peaches or mauves.

For wheatish skin tones

Coral tones look wonderful on a skin tone that has a golden undertone. Lucky you, you can go for anything from blood reds to cranberry pinks.

For lighter skin tones

For such complexion, hot reds and fuchsia work great. But of course, if you're the experimenting kind, you could go for bright orange tints.
Taylor Swift shows you how to get it right.

Indian Celebs at the Cannes Film Festival

Though most of the Indian celebrities failed to impress at the Cannes Film Festival, here's a look at their pictures anyway.




1. Vidya Balan
There was a lot of excitement about an Indian star being in the jury. Vidya did manage to live up to the hype during her first official appearance, but the rest was just forgettable.

2. Amitabh Bachchan

The superstar was there for the screening of his film, The Great Gatsby. The usually well turned out actor looked nothing less than a shiny disco ball this time. How about a simple, classic tuxedo next time, Mr. Bachchan?

3. Frieda Pinto

The Indian origin actress looked staggering in a retro look appreciated by many after her not so great first appearance.

4. Nawazuddin Siddiqui

While the critically acclaimed actor kept it simple in a suit, I wonder if it's the same one he wore last year.











5. Sonam Kapoor 

After her faux pas with her first appearance at this year's festival, the actress bounced back with this beautiful Dolce&Gabbana. Can safely say I'm in love with this one.

 
6. Aishwarya Rai

While baby Aaradhya did not accompany mommy Ash on the red carpet, it was wonderful to see her in this beautiful Ellie Saab gown. A great way to silence her critics. Way to go, Ash!

Mother’s Day special: Celeb moms and their kids

This Mother’s Day let’s take a look at celeb mums with their super famous kids.

The Grammy-winning singer welcomed a baby boy (name not confirmed yet) win October 2012, with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

2. Jessica Alba
The Fantastic Four star has two daughters, Honor and Haven with husband Cash Warren.

3. Katie Holmes
When you have Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise for your parents, you're bound to be in the media glare. Probably one of the most stylish star kids, Suri Cruise is a fashionista for sure.

4. Reese WitherspoonReese tied the knot with Ryan Phillippe in June 1999 and welcomed their first daughter Ava and son Deacon in October 2003, before splitting. The Legally Blonde star welcomed her third child, Tennessee James in 2012.

5. Kate Middleton
The Duchess of Cambridge may yet to have welcome the little one, but that does not stop the media speculations. She's been spotted with a baby bump at various ocassions.












6. Aishwarya Rai
Closer home, Aradhya Bachchan has been making waves with some glossies even comparing her with Suri Cruise. The latest news is that Beti B may walk down the red carpet with mom Aishwarya at the Cannes Film Festival, we're watching.

Gossip Girl: Redefining Fashion Moments

As Gossip Girl bids adieu to the Indian screens, I have put together some top style moments from the show. The show which depicted the lives of Upper East Siders in New York was high on fashion and why wouldn't it be when designers like Elie Saab, Alexander McQueen, Vera Wang etc featured regularly on the show.
So relax and enjoy the visual treat!

Weddings: Weddings were a favourite with the show's one of the main leads Blair. While she only gets married after six seasons in the last episode, it certainly didn't stop her from having a wide variety of wedding dresses.




Blair Waldorf ( Leighton Meester) or Queen B as she was fondly called, in the last episode of Gossip Girl wearing an Elie Saab gown as she (finally!) gets married to Chuck Bass.












In season 4, Blair decides to marry a prince from Monaco named Louis. Even though that didn't work out, the dress surely did!

Queen B  may have rocked the wedding dresses but the show's lead Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) was certainly not far behind.
Serena in the last episode, when she gets married to "outsider" Daniel Humphrey (Penn Badgley) wearing a Georges Chakra dress.









Dresses: Dresses were a favourite with the show's leading ladies, here's a look at the best of them.
