Wear your attitude
Ecology mein paas, baaki sab mein… seems the next big thing on
city’s fashion circuit
Fashion’s always believed in spearheading a trend — the trend walks ahead, setting the runaway on fire, and we mortals follow. And so, when fashion embraces a message along with its fav child (style), onlookers rejoice. No wonder, city’s swish set has enough reason to clink glasses. Thanks to Designer Anita Dongre, who’s launched ‘Grassroot’, India’s first ever eco-friendly clothing line at the Wills India Fashion Week-2007, the city will soon witness an onslaught of eco-friendly wear.
Décor Dhamaka
All good things come in small packages, indeed. So, as I sipped the addictive whiff of newspapers with my steaming morning cuppa, it came across as a small advertisement. Then, there was a crisp SMS, followed by a brief call from the boss, informing me about this exhibition at Phulkari hall, Aroma-22.
Make a difference
Save the planet is the buzzword nowadays. Eat organic, sport eco-friendly outfits, plant saplings, join an environment based NGO, hold and attend seminars on climate change and more. But then, not all want to spend a bombshell on eco-dresses or take part in a ‘run for green’ marathon, yet want to do their bit for planet earth. So, for all those who want to join the eco-drive, yet keep it simple and easy, read on. Bring these simple easy changes in your daily lives and make a difference. Also, remember every little bit counts here.
When two become one
Flaunting marital bliss seems to be the Gen-X celebrities’ publicity mantra
The other day while flipping through channels, and consuming my usual overdose of songs by ubherte sangeetkars, something struck. The couch potato in me took a back seat (just for a few seconds, I admit), leaving some dignified space for a journo’s curiosity…why on earth were two of these shows hell-bent on making themselves shaadi-sangeets?
A healthy option
For low-cal salad eaters, the Ovenfresh lounge is the place to be
The city is definitely a foodie’s delight. And, the opening of Ovenfresh’s third outlet in Sector 26 proves this. Its inauguration on Friday didn’t just introduce another bakery, but added a new feature to the store – a restro lounge. Promoted by Rohit and Ginny Kumar and Bobby and Priya Garg, Ovenfresh Restro Lounge is all set to woo the city residents with its unique taste and style.
Picked your skinnies?
Style in city just found a new pin code —- saucy, skinny, spicy. No wonder, oomph just got a lil’ tighter (skinnier, for the fashion fixated). Think stretch of style (pun intended) getting narrower and whoa, there you are, all set to get stylish without revamping your wardrobe. Rewind to 50’s onwards… Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and later legends Elvis Presley, Rolling Stones and Kate Moss rocking n’ rolling in these extra skinny silhouettes.
On a nutritional high
Delicious, wholesome and low on calories, bite into healthy portions
If you are one of those foodies who scan the packaging and calculate the calories before gorging on, then city’s low cal kitchen is the place for you. Ivy Slimming and Beauty Lounge-17 launched its Low Cal Kitchen on Wednesday and their menu claims to be high both on nutrition and taste.
Bold & Beautiful
Thursday saw city’s bling-bling brigade witnessing everything bold, bright and beautiful. Whimsical themes, sinuous swirls, zigzag waves —- the students of Northern India Institute of Fashion Technology, Mohali, served a delectable feast to the fashionistas. Spinning creative webs, these budding designers showcased 15 eclectic collections during the fashion show, mark ing the final presentation by the students of Fashion Design & Clothing Technology (one year evening programme).
Time to Nach!
Big 92.7 FM has partnered with the much-acclaimed celebrity reality dance show Nach Baliye 3. The radio venture promises exclusive access to its participants and added entertainment with behind-the-scene scoops.
STEP OUT
Adieu to peaks
Close the summer season with a trekking or climbing expedition
MANY of you will head for adventure holidays during the coming vacation season and, though there are many activities to choose from, it makes sense to grab the remaining weeks of summer to head high into the mountains before the cold weather sets in.
Telly Tales
All’s fair in Idol War
Some called it the unfair SMS slugfest, others the loss of talent, but the Indian Idol finale proved two things: One, our journos don’t know their geography. Two, they are high on self-confidence.
Joined in power game
It is not just Brad Pitt whom Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have in common, for both have secured the Most Powerful Actress title in this year’s Guinness Book of World Records. For the 2007 edition of the book, the PR coverage and earnings of the actors over the year were assessed.
Frozen & Fresh
If you hate chopping vegetables, then this smart option is just for you
Fancy cooking without having to do the chopping? Yes, cutting and chopping make the best of homemakers cringe. And what it does to the one’s who hate the ordeal of cooking is beyond words. It is now possible to do away with this dreaded task that leaves your manicured hands looking like ones of the house cleaner’s.
BON APPETIT
 A Mixed Bag
OUT of the freezer, into the fire! A pack of ready to use, trimmed and washed vegetables is ever so convenient to have handy. Carrots, cauliflower, beans, peas, corn and broccoli, the assortment comes in a rainbow of colours. Every coloured veggie has specific vitamins to offer us, so a mixed bag is without doubt, a very healthy eat.
