Capescape
Winter has set in and what better way to brave the chill then with a stylish collection of capes, cloaks and stoles.
Right from the tailored ones to the traditional prints; gothic, bright and digital ones, capes, cloaks and stoles are the thing to throw over your shoulders for a chic yet warm look.
German connection
Claudia Ciesla is a big dreamer and it's her dreams that have got her entry into the big, glitzy lanes of Bollywood. Currently looking forward to the audiences' reaction to Balma in Khiladi 786 that releases on Friday, this firang item girl wants to make it to the top.
At the same time, she is pretty aware that the film industry has only so much that it offers to foreign actresses. Facing challenges is what she likes and is preparing well for the journey that lies ahead.
In Chandigarh on Wednesday Claudia opens up about her life, dreams and more. Facing the camera is what she always wanted to do. But convincing her disciplinarian dad back in Germany was not that easy.

pet passion
A ritual called love
If the Shakespearean proverb is to be extended, a pet would seem just as sweet if called by any other name. What’s in a name? Laughs Minal Mehra, director, Aakaar Interiors and Design Studio, “We experimented with three names for our nine- month-old, black and tan Dachshund, before settling in for Jacky.”

A date with Divya
An invite for the state dinner in Goa by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar for the closing ceremony of IFFI was something I took as a go, do your job and come back trip, not realising what it had in store for me. As I was asking the organiser to book me a morning return ticket, my mom intervened, ‘why don't you come back in the evening and spend some time with yourself.’ “What? Spend time by myself? I will get bored ma!” I said.
