“This is the eighth sports bike I have owned and is the fastest one. I have been to Goa on this bike and it was one of my most memorable trips.

Working women are opting for shorter mangalsutras over the longer, more traditional variety. With several companies adhering to strict dress codes, it’s not always a viable option for women to wear long, heavy gold and black bead mangalsutras to the office.

SIZE ZERO IS OUT

Says fashion designer Leena Singh who gives us the highlights on trends for the upcoming season

Feminine shapes and silhouettes are stylish. Size zero is completely out.

Accessories are still big. Though, bling should not be restricted to just ear rings — loud necklaces can be used to accessorise simple attire. When it comes to sunglasses — the bigger the better.
