Eid is upon us, so off to Shopping guys!

Like Chanel Much?

Boy do the these ladies have an enviable collection. Nickie and Nina are on a roll with none other than the Classy Designer House Chanel's breathtaking accesories! All i can say is i am keeping my eyes open for more.... For now heres some latest neck candy; Nina wears the white pearl necklace with Gold mesh drop.

Diva wears Fendi !

Aminah Haq was caught looking Luscious in Red! and there was a quiet impressive hint of Gold involved as well! 

I am not a big fan of the bag, Aminah wears the Fendi B Bag in Metallic Gold quite awkwardly though! ; Retailing at $1390 would you buy one? 

Notice how the actual picture of the bag makes you gage? hmmm ...

Oh No They Didn't!

Amna Kardar is a smart and good looking woman! Half of the House of AM, you would expect her to make better choices when it came to footwear.

Do the sandals push your buttons? Do tell!

P.s. shes totally working the look knee up LOL.

The Disney Princess... Do or Don't?

Ou dear Vj. Mahira seems to have taken inspiration from unexpected places, The pants remind SS instantly of Princess Jasmine from Disney's Aladin.
You Like?

 

Ditto!

Celebrities love Umar sayeed for the red carpet; but the same dress girls?? Not Nice...

SS spotted Resham and Gia Ali wearing the same dress, in the same colour. On top of that the dress is not even nice. What say?

Resham at the Lux Style Awards, 2007.

Gia Ali at the Style 360 Launch, 2008.

Clutching the Clutch.

Freiha Altaf a style diva? Her style has always left me wondering is she or is she not? 

Sometimes she is dead on with looking like a true hottie! and sometimes she is very OTT.

This time she hit the nail right on the spot. SS spotted Freiha at the Style 360 Channel Launch.

 The dres is FAB! The hair is HOT! ... the shoes however are disappointing.. :(

What i love here the clutch! It's the Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch; A personal favorite.

Buy via LV; $550.

A New Trend? Oh Dear God I Hope NOT!

Ok so brace yourselves.. our young celebs. have taken the road less travelled, and dare i say it is NOT  a wise decision..

The pathani jewelry is back. Do you guys think you'll be wearing it much now?

Model/Actor Fiza... 


Vj. Mahira...

Taking the Mughal Route ... !

The Mughals of the sub-continent have long been the most mystified peoples of our time. Their culture, their music, their clothes and most of all their jewels.

With Mahrajas wearing their special order pieces from Jewel Houses such as Cartier and traveling in their custom made Louis Vuitton Luggage even in those times, their is no doubt the world will always be in awe of the lifestyle that was.

Now and then we see glimpses of this influence, especially in jewelery.

First seen in the 2008 collection by Alexander Mc Queen:

.

.. and recently at the 2009 collection by Ralph Lauren:

So guys what do you think on this western take on eastern jewels.. good or no good?

All Hail, The God of Photography! KR!

The aesthetic sense, the desire to do something different, the amazing makeovers and the humility; being human AND being god. God of photography!

Picture after picture; Campaign after campaign this man leaves me in awe of his images!

This recent shoot is dare i say, PERFECT!

Have a look and decide for yourself.

.. *sigh*

Aminah Haq; Then and Now.

In my mind the two most prominent models cum divas in pakistan are; aminah haq and iman ali. I know alot of you will be surprised but Vinnie still doesn't do it for me.. she may be a model but she sure ain't a Diva!

So heres sharing with you the highs and lows of our favorite Divas!
The Good Aminah:

First came her cover for the magazine Me and My Wedding was a total stunner!  This is where i registered her as gorgeous! The beautiful eyes complimented by the Amethyst, Gorgeous!

Then came her relationship with Ammar Belal; and a series of campaigns with im, this one shows the chemistry unlike any other picture! Apart from the fact that she looks hot! 

She wasn't to stop now... Cover after Cover and finally the beautiful Daily Times cover, she lookes heavenly!

One picture that personifies the flair, confidence and the pure Divaness (if its a word ;) is with the horse. It makes me wanna be in her place... WOW!

With a little less makeup and a lot more confidence.. Her campaign for Saadia Mirza; revealed a super model on top!

Unfortunately her journey to where she is now was not without a fair share of mistakes...

The Bad Aminah..

Every thing is nice.. the dress, the jewels and ofcourse the very deserved Lux style sward; but the HAIR! it looks so out of place ...

The jersey top without the proper support.. and the shape that make her looks prego. not nice :(

YOU have beautiful eyes! why lens; also when they don't suit you - scary eh?

The Ugly?

When your new, yoo put yourself into the hands of make up artists and stylists.. and they don't Always so justice to you!

And then came the very untastefully done, rather vulgar shoot in the Face On magazine.. sad day.
