Look Of The Week : Freida Pinto in Burberry

I was going through my daily dose of celeb blogs when I chanced upon this image that blew me away.

That is our very own export, Ms. Freida Pinto at the Burberry Fall Presentation, 2013 in London. Jewel tones, colour blocking, peplum top, yellow pop colour bag, bright lips, oxblood nails and relaxed hair. All the top trends of the year in one beautiful, neat package.

She's wearing Burberry separates from top to toe.

What can I say.. Bandra girls have all the style ;)

On Trend : Multi Finger Rings

Got my first salary last week. Obviously the next logical step was to go shopping! I had quite a productive weekend (shopping wise). I don't usually buy a lot of accessories because in my head I think I can make them all. This time, however, I could not resist buying these gorgeous, funky, statement-y multi finger rings. 

From Left : Mustache (Accesorize), Peace, Key (Both Hill Road, Bandra) 

They look good on all kinds of hands (trust me, I have the hands of the 3 year old child) and are a sure fire conversation starter. They're available EVERYWHERE and come in all kinds of shapes and colours. Besides these 3, I spotted spikes, snakes, lips, random tribal art and even an elaborate cat. 

Remember ladies, a heavy multi finger ring can be used as a knuckle duster for self defence! BAM!!!

I Literary Love This : The Style Diary Of A Bollywood Diva

Hello! Now I'm really addicted to blogging and just cannot seem to stop! So new post almost everyday! Yay!!! (I think I may just lose my job)

Today's a new Literary post ( Do you like the name?).

Kareena Kapoor Khan, with some help from Rochelle Pinto, has penned her first book.

She goes through her style journey as an actor, from the disastrous ones like Hulchul to some of my favorites including Poo in K3G and her size zero phenomena in Tashan. Here is a Sneak Preview ( Shhh!)

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham:

Red bustier top, shiny red pants and You are my Soniya. This was the look that started it all. Hrithik and I were back on screen as a romantic couple, which obviously made everybody sit up and take notice.My character, Pooja Sharma, better known as Poo, was this happy-go-lucky, clueless about- life but-very clued-into-fashion uber cool girl. Karan Johar and Manish had really gone over every single detail to make my clothes truly trendy. Each character had a specially designed wardrobe to match their personality. Poo, of course, was high-street meets-designer-wear! It was also the first time an actress was wearing expensive designer clothes from Dolce & Gabbana to Versace in a Hindi movie. My red outfit in the song was quite a fluke though. I remember the leather pants were a bit difficult to dance in, so Manish decided to cut the bottoms and make slits. And that became a huge rage and a fashion trend! My stomach was exposed in that song, which I was actually quite happy about because I had worked quite a bit to get into shape for that.

The entire film was very well-styled, but this particular look got such a huge reaction that even I was surprised. It easily became one of the most stylish and recognizable characters ever to feature on the big screen. I guess it also started the trend of red being my lucky colour on screen.  

Tashan:

The size-zero phenomenon. That is how Tashan will always be remembered, thanks to the media frenzy over my new size. More than the looks in the movie, I think people were looking at my body with a magnifying glass and trying to figure out how a chubby Punjabi girl had morphed into a super-toned diva.

It was the green bikini scene that stole the show, though. Nobody thought they'd ever see a Kapoor girl in a two-piece on screen; neither did I for that matter. But I trusted Yash Raj and when Adi Chopra said I needed to wear a bikini, I didn't argue. I was always a confident girl, never too worried about how I looked, but this was new for me too. I couldn't wait to see the reactions, dying to know if all my hard work had paid off.

The film released, and my phone went mad. People were calling and messaging me non-stop for days. Everyone wanted to know one thing. 'Oh my God, how did you do it?' And now you know! That phase was one of the biggest highs of my life. I have to admit I love looking at the photos from that movie, just to see how toned and well-defined my body was.

Tashan wasn't about a statement wardrobe, it was about making a statement: 'There's nothing Kareena Kapoor can't do.'

The book retails for around Rs. 461 on Flipkart (here).

PS: I loved the the Tom Ford dress she wore for the book launch. The funky belt reminds me of one of those wrestling championship belts :P. Apparently, the belt weighs 8 Kgs :O

Hello World!

I started Super Shiny Stuff just after graduating when I was jobless, bored and needed something to do. It all started while shopping online. I saw a necklace on asos.com and fell instantly in love! I sent the link to a friend and she refused to let me buy it! "Its not worth it!", she said. Fine! I'll just make it! And this was the result!

Now, I have a job I love(in fashion!!!) but these creative feeling don't just go away! Therefore I'm converting Super Shiny Stuff to a D.I.Y blog! It's gonna have DIY tutorials, fashion updates, inspirations, gossip, inside info, music, food and pretty much anything that catches my fancy. Stay tuned for a lot of fun, fashion and amateur pictures clicked on my phone :P
