Its a Posh car!

At Jaguar Land Rover, the marketing mind came together with Queen Victoria herself to come up with the stylish 'Range Rover Evoque'. Jaguar Land Rover, now owned by the Indian conglomerate TATA (feel the pride? :D) decided to reinvent the Range Rover to suit the younger generation and tap the ever growing pool of potential customers. That is when the Queen of Fashion comes in to give her expertise in style and fashion making the 'Range Rover Evoque' one hell of a fashion statement.

Queen V used rose-gold accents for the interiors, vintage leather seats and finished off with hand painted matt finish. The Evoque comes with four-piece leather luggage set and hand sewn wallet signed by VB. The car is priced at £80 000.

Its a slumber party!

Interesting! A new trend arises and its non other than the good old comfortable Pyjama ! 'Pyjama dressing' as it is termed is the new rage this season. Scenario- I wake up and realise there is no milk in the house for my morning cereal! *aghast*. I trudge down the road and head to the nearest Tesco in my Pyjamas and bird-nest hair. In fashiondom this would probably be the 'walk of shame'. But the comfortable pyjama cozied its way to the in the fashion radar. Best thing about this trend though is that anybody could own it in their own bedroom style sensibilities. Check this new trend out and let's make this world a big slumber party :D

PS- No bird-nest hair allowed. Dapper in pyjamas is more like the acceptable trend.

Pale Tale

This spring its all sugar and ice! If you want to give the loud colours a rest, then go the pale way. Its all blush blues and baby pinks, so live your fairy tale this spring with collections from Louis Vuitton taking inspiration from spun candies and everything sugar coated! With colour so pasty, make sure you wear interesting textures and details. It'll be fun indulging in this sugar craving :)

Tango with Tangerine!

This season's love affair with different hues of 'Orange' is just too yummy to ignore. The colour palette is eye catchy and pops any boring outfit. The trick is maintaining the right amount of pop! Be it shoes, or hair band or bangles, or nail polish or even better lipstick, the colour draws the eyes and its one job done to stand out amongst the sea of fashionables. If you're wearing an all tangerine dress, make sure the accessories are nude and simple.
