Ishtyle Mantra: Taapsee, Nayantara, Deeksha & Kajal

By on January 27, 2012

Our ladies in this issue of Ishtyle Mantra all went for a desi look, more or less…

Taapsee opted for a green net embellished saree that she paired with a silver blouse. Those who know me know that currently I find net sarees to be the most overated style however I surprise even myself by falling in love with this look of Taapsee’s. I especially love that she kept her hair so simple and full of character. The only slight change I’d make is the pinning of the pallu which looks a tad bit untidy. Verdict: 9/10

Nayantara went the whole nine yards with her Desi looks, gajra and all! Whilst I think attire and hair is beautiful, I do wish she’d made more of an effort with the makeup. Regardless she ends up with quite a high rating. Verdict: 8.5/10

It was a color blocked anarkali for Deeksha at the audio launch of Nippu. Footwear aside the look was rather flawless and cute. The color combination looked brilliant on her! Verdict: 8.5/10

It was desi design maxi for Kajal at the success party of Business Man and I would be lying if I said I don’t feel like gushing about this look! From the halter neck line to the collar and the flow of the dress, the attire is simply flawless! Safe to say Ms Agarwal gets a perfect rating for this appearance. Verdict: 10/10

P.S Sorry for being so MIA, life gets back on track as will Sakhi Speaks! xoxo, Sakhi.

Ishtyle Mantra: Neha, Sameera, Poonam & Kamna @ CCL

By on December 20, 2011

Leaving aside the ladies who did the blazer/CCL polo/jeans look we go straight to the stars who gave us a bit more happening looks at the CCL curtain raiser event.

On the far left we have Neha Dhupia rocking a strappless maxi! What perfection! But then again, she hardly ever gets her outfits wrong.

Sameera Reddy too chose a maxi however opted for a one shoulder one that gave it quite a ‘gowny’ look which perhaps made me think it was a bit too formal for the event.Regardless, she looked fabulous! Gotta hate tall gorgeous women who pull off maxis so effortlessly!

And then we get to the far right with Poonam Bajwa we have the first disastrous maxi for the night.As I always say, print can either be impressive or horrendious, this is of the latter type.

Last but not the least we have Kamna Jethmalani in a black mini mesh neck dress. I am huge fan of a mesh neck dresses but am really unsure of this one mostly because its lace throughout. What do you all think?

Ishtyle Mantra: Shriya, Shruti and Tamanna @ HIFW ’11

By on December 20, 2011

The cinestars continued to steal the glory of HIFW ’11.

On the far left we have Shruti Hassan walking for Nishka Lulla. Personally I’m usually a fan of Nishka’s work as its just fun all around however with this one piece I feel like she missed the mark. Firstly and fore mostly the top just doesn’t fit Shruti in a flattering way. Then there’s the transparent skirt which isn’t really working for me either. I don’t think the awkward poses Shruti struck on the ramp helped the clothes to look any  more appealing than they were. An overall dissapointing appearance on the ramp.

Mummy Lulla, Neeta Lulla, was the closing designer for HIFW ’11 and chose Shriya Saran for her showstopper outfit. The outfit is very Neetu that is, it’s bling, bling and more bling! I really would prefer more design on the blouse and for Shriya to have had different hair and makeup. Something a bit more elegant to match to the grandness of the outfit.

Off the ramp we spotted Shruti in a blue knee length dress which she paired with cream peep toes.The outfit is really nothing to talk about. We also spotted Tamanna who was there to support friend and designer Nishka. Loved her yellow boat neck dress however a bit on the fence about the choice in shoes.

Ishtyle Mantra: Vettai girls Sameera & Amala

By on December 19, 2011

The Vettai ladies have been busy attending various events for the movie. Thankfully for us it means we get an array of looks from the gorgeous actresses.

At the press meet Sameera Reddy opted for a white/blue churidaar that I have simply fallen in love with! I really can’t find a single fault in this attire. I am willing to overlook the fact that she could have definitely chosen a cuter white peep toes to match the outfit simply because I love the choice she made! Unfortunetly I can’t say the same for her co-star Amala Paul who funked it up with a grey pants and white top that had a very debatable neckine design. I’m leaning towards the ‘tacky’ side when it comes to judging this top. I am also not impressed with the scrunched up pants which are clearly meant to be pencil/tube design which means scrunching is really not the way to go.

Both the ladies opted for traditional attires for the music launch. Amala was spotted in a red/white saree to suit the festive season. Whilst I love the color combo, hair, accessories and makeup, the saree for me is all tacky! (Yes I realise I’m giving this tag to an outfit worn by the same lady for two events in a row!) The blouse especially and also the design of the pallu. You may disagree, which is perfectly plausible, however I for one can’t get myself to like this one. Which is such a shame because she looked so stunning, if only a different saree had been worn!!! On the other hand co-star Sameera stuck to a Southie look in a half saree. I don’t mind the half saree as much as I mind the messy hair and lack of attention given to makeup and hair in general. Such a shame that Sameera decided to slack off with this one.
