Ice Moon Ice Cream

Happy long weekend everyone! Here is a treat to make your Easter even sweeter. Is this a great alternative to boring marzipan eggs or what?


Oh Häagen-Dazs! These were created by London designers Doshi Levien. 

The orange moon consists of crunchy chocolate at the bottom, layers of nutty ice cream and salted caramel all covered with vanilla ice cream.

The white moon has a pistachio biscuit base, layers of macadamia nut ice cream, meringue and a coat of raspberry ice cream.

The designer duo is very inspired by Bollywood and India. Read more here. 

Meanwhile, feel bad because I have no idea where you get these.

Naeem Khan at LFW 2013

By some miracle I managed to get passes for Naeem Khan's first ever show in Mumbai!

The NYC based designer, who has dressed the likes of Michelle Obama. Beyonce and Leighton Meester, was born in Mumbai. His work consists of dramatic and heavily embellished gowns and dresses best suited for the red carpet. The collection he showed at LFW was the same as the one seen at New York Fashion Week earlier this year.

The clothes were beautiful and intricately embroidered. He used velvet, embellishments, embroidery and screen printing. The silhouettes were either full skirts or slinky gowns. The silk pants and skirt gown really caught my eye. As did the champagne skirt with a fully embellished top.The embellishments glittered magically under the lights. It was all very dramatic and awe-inspiring. He did not use a celebrity show stopper but there was enough glitterati on the front row.




Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2013

Its Fashion Week time!!! After the spectacular FDCI Wills India Fashion Week in New Delhi, Mumbai hosts its own Lakme Fashion Week. 

Its been a mad week trying to juggle work and Fashion Week but I got REALLY lucky! Not only did I get to go for the Tigre Blanc LFW Launch party at Tote on Thursday but also got to go for Naeem Khan's first ever show in Mumbai!!! I know right? I couldn't believe it either!. 



The LFW offsite began with a beautiful show by Tarun Tahiliani, which was graced by famous Shoe Designer Christian Louboutin. Tigre Blanc threw an after party jam packed with celebs and vodka. My favourite look of the night was Simone Singh looking pretty in a mint dress and white blazer. Maybe it was because I(top, left) was wearing a white blazer as well :P
