Déjà Vu

When I had seen Koena earlier this month at the Gladrags Mega Model and Manhunt finals, I knew there was something familiar about the dress but just couldn't put my finger on it... but now I know, the colors totally reminded me of this dress from Roberto Cavalli's Spring 2006 ready to wear collection!

On paper, Koena's dress should have worked, the colors are beautiful, but they just don't! Maybe it has to do with her inability at carrying off the dress? For now though, I just prefer the way model Valentina Zelyaeva wears hers on the runway! Fierce.

Bag Spotting!

At the Dadasaheb Phalke Awards, we spotted the LV Miroir Speedy in Raveena's hands! The metallic bag can be quite flashy but somehow it seems to gel real well with her yellow outfit and looks quite nice!

The Thin Line

Its the good old beige sari with some silver work but while one made it look even less ordinary, the other elevated it by just sheer class. Need we say who fell in what category?

Match Point

It is not the first time that we've seen Udita do turquoise, but the last time that we did see her in it, we made a recommendation, and she seems to have heard it! (Ok, so its a coincidence but we choose to believe otherwise!!)

What she wore recently is still a bit matchy for us, the necklace, the bracelet, the shoes (and what we suspect from some pictures, even the innerwear!!)... as long as everything is in the same color family it works and a lil' bit of contrast never hurt but excessive coordinating is way too last decade!!

And wearing fashion jewelry as a set (necklace+bracelet+earrings) is such a no-no! Perhaps next time she can keep the turquoise beads and pair it with a silver cuff??

Letters

Hey Payal and Pri,
I saw the post about the Letters section in your blog and decided to ask you guys something I've been trying to find for long.

First query -

I live in the US, but will be moving to India soon. I've never really gotten any designer bags, but am thinking of getting one. Nothing too high end, but rather in the budget range of max 300 or around.. I really like hobo bags, but recently started liking the shoulder totes as well.

I really want to get something that will last me long (won't go out of fashion very fast), and will appeal to Indian surroundings as well.

I really don't like the two strap types, would rather have a single strap - makes it easier to balance on the shoulder.

Second query -

I've also been looking for something that looks like this, but can't find them anywhere! can you tell me what this style is called, your opinion on it and where can I find some nice models in this, without being too expensive?

Thank you so much guys!
Sue.

Dear Sue,
From the choices that you sent us, we loved the first one, the Michael Kors "Brookeville" Shoulder Tote.

If you are still not sold on the Kors (specially with the coming sale), here are two suggestions that will fit right in your budget. The Coach and the Dooney are both under $300 and are simple and elegant. The Coach also comes in a black in case you were worried about the cream.











Coach Soho Leather Hobo


Dooney & Bourke Medium East/West Slouch



Buy via Coach for $268
Buy via Dooney for $275

Being the bag fanatics that we are, we couldn't resist the temptation to go a little beyond. We found two bags that although are a little above your budget, would be fantastic additions to your closet!











MARC BY MARC JACOBS 'Dr. Q - Huge Hillier' Hobo Bag


Kate Spade Narragansett Stevie



Buy the Marc By Marc Jacobs via Nordstorm for $475
Buy the Stevie via Kate Spade for $425

Regarding your second question, there is no specific name for the double handle hobo as such. It all depends on a particular bag's style and we did find one thats really nice and thats on sale at Kate Spade for $263, which is quite a steal!










Kate Spade Hudson Street Small Carla



Buy the Carla via Kate Spade

Let us know what your final choice is to be!

Red Hot vs Pastel Pink!
