Angelina Jolie Wore Her SAG Dress Backwards

Angelina Jolie's stylist, Jen Rade, recently revealed to US Weekley that the actress turned her Max Azria dress around for the SAG Awards, to make it "more blouson" and to better show off her backside full of seriou tattoos.

I like how she wore it, it looks more elegant, and classy that way. Model up on top could catch a chest cold. She looks gorgeous.

Drifting Through Life


I sometimes find I'm drifting
Through this life without effect;
I often wonder if I'm truly
Worth what I've been blessed with.

I search through days that have been hard,
To try to understand,
The many trials that I have known,
The life that I have had.

You see me in my daily grind,
So confident and strong;
Yet when I am alone, I question
Just where I belong.

I often try too hard I find,
To analyze and guess,
To scrutinize, investigate
My life I will confess.

For somewhere deeper, there must be
Some meaning to this life,
Some way to make a difference,
Give a reason for this strife.

Is there some hidden meaning?
Some agenda to be found?
A greater purpose waiting
If I care to hang around?

It teases and it taunts me,
Always slightly out of sight;
A hazy vision out of reach,
Where darkness hides the light.

I struggle to bring clarity
To what awaits me there,
And yet this weak illusion
Always fades before my stare.

It seems the harder that I try,
To focus through the haze,
Just serves to add more questions,
Through my endless, tired gaze.

Perhaps I'm trying just too hard,
To understand it all,
For can we ever truly know
Just what we have in store?

Each incident, each moment passed,
Just adds upon the next,
But in the end, will I find truth ...
Or will I be perplexed?

Perhaps I make it harder
Than it has to be sometimes,
But will my searching bring to me
My meaning over time?

Or will it leave me broken,
And confused as I feel now,
While questions bring no solitude,
To this, my wrinkled brow.

Just explains my state of mind so aptly.....anyways have a gr8 weekend all of you and hope none of u are in this state of mind.

Spring 2009 - Chanel couture

Chanel is one of today’s best known and highly sought-after fashion brands, and has been practically since it was founded by Coco (Gabrielle) Chanel in 1909. The luxury brand stands out in just about every category—couture, ready-to-wear, accessories, jewelry, shoes, and fragrances. What began as a no-nonsense approach to fashion, designed to let women be comfortable while looking dignified, has been translated into classic, tailored style, especially in ready-to-wear, where the traditional tweed Chanel suit with a nipped-at-the-waist cardigan jacket remains one of the most popular—and most copied—fashion staples.

Lipstik trend

In sezonul primavara/vara, rujul va fi stralucitor sau neutru, iar spectrele de culori din care poti alege sunt doua: nuante bogate de rosu sau culori palide, care sa se confunde cu pielea. Un ruj bine ales, aflat in tendinte poate fi detaliul care salveaza o tinuta banala, sau lipsita de curaj. In 2009 rujul rosu este un must-have si reprezinta un "accesoriu" in sine.



Visiniu este o nuanta foarte eleganta care poate fi purtata atat in timpul zilei la birou, cat si la un cocktail.

Buze naturale, transparente

B'day Special


Yes, this is the special post that i was talking about. My blog turns 1 yr today, so i thought of remembering all those people who made it possible for me to reach this stage. :) Some who are still there in the blogville and others who left this space. I want to take this opportunity to thank all those people who made me feel special by encouraging me to write more. A special mention of Mez, sweetie i miss u a lot.....She was the first person who commented on my blog and i can never forget her, even though she's no longer there in blogville. I would also like to remember some more people who left the blogville and are missed dearly; Ashu, Samby, Solitaire (Sneha) are few such people. And now for the special people who make my journey in the blogville worthwhile, here is a small poem from me to all you guys out there:

Your friendship is special
Like the flowers that bloom,
Or when a butterfly emerges
From within its cocoon...

You remind me of that butterfly,
Loving and free,
Bright and colorful,
For the world to see...

We will share sunshine and rainbows;
Sometimes, the rain and the snow;
We'll stand together through it,
While the cold winds blow...

When the time is right,
We won't stop to ask "Why?"
Our friendship will take flight
On the wings of a butterfly...

Thanks a lot for the immense love and support that i have been showered with. This heartfelt poem goes out to everybody:
Aneri Masi, Aneesh, Ankur, Arunima, Cess, Ceedy, Gunj, Hemu, Hobo, Keshi, Mayz, Multi Menon, Pj, Phoenix, Pri, Princess Mia, SMM, Sam, Saim, Sawan, Shrav, Smriti, Swati, Vrij, Xh. I hope i have covered all. In case i have missed out on anybody plz don't mind!! :)

It's just that i am gonna let myself loose this weekend coz this is going to be one long weekend. Monday being Republic Day is gonna be an off for me from both work and gym. Yep i have been going to the gym religiously without missing a single day. The only day that i get an off is Sunday. I can surely feel the inches melting away.

But this time its gonna be two days.....Yipeee!!! Anyways, this is also the first time that i don't have any plans for the weekend. The reason being my bf is still not back from his vacation, so i am not planning to do anything on Saturday i.e. tomorrow. As far as Sunday is concerned i might just meet up a batchmate of mine who did his MBA with me. :) Looking forward to that one! And the best day is gonna be Monday....not bcoz its a holiday, its bcoz my guy is coming back from Singapore. So lots of action expected on Monday, i am expecting a few gifts which he has got for me, i am also looking forward to the lunch that we'll have (yes it's gonna b special coz its after a long time) and last but not the least i am going to watch Slumdog Millionaire. Hope it turns out to be good. So that's my update on this weekend. Also there's a special post coming up on Sunday coz its a special day!! So watch out this space for updates. :) Have a gr8 weekend people!!

Victoria Beckham- imaginea colectiei de lenjerie intima/Emporio Armani

Fierbinte, provocatoare, sexy sunt doar citeva cuvinte care mi-au venit in minte cand am vazut noul look al Victoriei din colectia de lenjerie imtima Giorgio Armani. Tunsoarea este foarte sexy si eleganta in acelasi timp, potrivindu-se de minune cu decorul in care a pozat. Aceasta, este noua imagine Armani pentru colectia primavara/vara 2009. Sedinta foto a fost realizata de catre Mert Alas si Marcus Piggot in Los Angeles. Victoria Beckham a declarat ca este o onoare pentru ea sa reprezinte colectia de lenjerie intima Armani.
