Little, black…wow!
This black's evergreen! Even those who swear by the avant-garde fashion unanimously agree to the Little Black Dress - which by the way is 'just' less than a century-old in fashion —being here and forever. It soon got de-abbreviated after Coco Chanel came up with the original version during the early 1920s. The faith in the style quotient of an LBD was reposed once again by Kangana Ranaut very recently; she tip-toed at the L'Oreal Femina Awards in an LBD with an Audrey Hepburn look, which got the fashion police talking. And on the same lines, all this while, many celebs have endorsed the iconic outfit and as many number of designers have come up with their adaptation of it, each promising to make the wearer look ultra-chic.

More than just glitz
She can't do without her coffee. She does not like cold feet. She ensures her people get food in time. She humbly apologises for being late. That is Maureen Wadia without the glitz, glamour, lights and flashbulbs! In Chandigarh for the final auditions of the Gladrags Miss and Master India North Zone Contest, she talks about exactly everything beyond beauty pageants. As she settles after dodging children and obliging the flashlights, Maureen unveils her real, authentic side.

The bling factor
It’s been long that you carried that shiny little rectangular clutch to every party. Why don’t you switch to something traditional, yet classy? Switch to Surukku pai (it’s not the name of a South Indian dish), an ethnic alternate to the glossy clutch! Not too may people are aware of it, but Surukku pai is definitely hot as a chic accessory.

One for the soul
Bhajan singer Kanhaiya Mittal has come up with a devotional album titled Shyam Teri Balle Balle, which was released by bhajan exponent Lakhbir Singh Lakha on Tuesday. Sharing his views about the album, Lakha says, “This is a commendable effort by Kahniya Mittal, as he has pepped up the bhajans in an unconventional manner, which not only energises the devotees but also inspires the youth of today to stay away from drugs and lead a healthy, peaceful life.”
