With Natalie Portman's recent Best Actress win, the focus this fashion season has been on BGWP (Being Glam while Pregnant). It's interesting how many best actress winners have been pregnant at the peak of their careers! Maybe being pregnant ups your chances at winning? :) Here are some tips from the masters: show some skin away from your bump - shoulders, leg, chest....
We saw less ball gowns and more column dresses at the Oscars this year. Anne Hathaway had the luxury of 8 dresses (see post below), but other than her, no one was dressed spectacularly this year. Is it just me, or are the Oscars becoming less glam each year? Halle Berry could wear a potato sack and still look ridiculously amazing. That body!...
No fashion blog would be complete without coverage of the most-coveted gowns all year... so here it is! Let's start with co-presenter Anne Hathaway, who apparently changed outfits 8 times... 8 times! I'm not crazy about her, but her dresses were beautiful - and how wouldn't they be with the world's best design houses dressing you?! All long, formal gowns (with the exception...
I love South Asian literature. I know a lot of people who don't particularly like it - perhaps because they feel it panders to stereotypes - but the distinct voices of the characters I find in my favorite novels are some of the most colorful and memorable I've seen.

Although it may not seem like it when it's 20 degrees outside, spring will be upon us shortly! With the new season comes the chance to shed our winter cloaks and try new things. Truly sick of my winter wardrobe, I am really excited to change up my look. Adriana Lima is one of my favorites. Her hair highlights here are the perfect...
This is Penelope Cruz shortly before she gave birth to her new baby. Is this even fair!? I can only hope I look this good pregnant! ...
I must admit, I wasn't a fan when she first came on the scene a few years ago in "Om Shanti Om" - I thought she looked like an alien stick-figure with an oversized head. But she has been looking really good lately! Kudos to her stylist. And loving the red lipstick. Take a look! ...
