15 Spring 2016 Couture Looks We Can’t Wait To See On The Red Carpet

February 17, 2016

Giambattista Valli spring couture 20161. Giambattista Valli
on Sonam Kapoor, Rachel McAdams

First things first: We love how beautifully this frothy pink Giambattista Valli gown blends into the theme of this blog! If we had to pick a look to represent all things Splurgerina this would have to be it—it just fits perfectly, doesn’t it? Great! Now that that’s been said, let’s talk awards season. In case you couldn’t tell already, we are obsessed with red carpet fashion around here (follow us on Instagram to check out some of our favorite award season looks so far), and this year’s spring couture collections boast of [Read more…]

All Wrapped Up!

October 12, 2011

As temperatures start to drop, so does the frequency of me leaving my hair down. I find the whole scarves, gloves, hats and multiple layers routine extremely constrictive*, and the last thing I want is my hair, which happens to be slightly thick and wavy, further weighing me down. Besides, the whole hair flying in the wind thing makes me look like a complete wild child (jungle chic?!); yup, it’s not nearly as glamorous as they make it look in the movies, people.

So, the point is that I like my hair tied/pinned away from my face in the winter, which for the most part (considering at least 4 days out of the week I am too moody to even care) means that I’m sporting a ponytail. Seriously, I’m like the Blake Lively of the non-celebrity world when it comes to ponytails! Anyway, I play around with hair partings a lot while doing them, but last year, my affinity seemed to lie with the wrapped ponytail. I usually do a mid ponytail, so it looks like the one at Wes Gordon (shown below), but the various different styles on the runway are now inspiring me to try it with a high, side, and low ponytail as well.

Clockwise: Louis Vuitton Fall 2011, Gucci Fall 2011, Erin Fetherston Spring 2012, Wes Gordon Spring 2012

Out of the three, my favorite has to be the side-wrapped ponytail à la Erin Fetherston (although I prefer the hair to be tucked behind the ear); it looks slightly more dressed-up than the others, making it the perfect choice for parties, intimate dinners, and even weddings! To all you future Indian brides out there, this is the perfect hairdo for your mehendi. Fun and playful, just like the event itself, and unlike the sophisticated but stiff bun, which is best saved for a more formal event like the wedding.

It's pretty quick and easy to do as well (bas 2 minute!).  First, make a high, low, or side ponytail, with or without parting, and secure it with an elastic. Next, pull out a strand from your ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to conceal it. Lastly, either tuck the ends inside the elastic or secure it with pins. That simple! And once you get the hang of it, you can have more fun with it. I like to sometimes braid a few strands into my ponytail; or you can braid the section of hair you're using to wrap around the elastic.

That’s all the ideas I have for now, but as I’ll experiment with this hairstyle frequently in the months to come, I’ll definitely share more!

Kisses,
SK

*Not being a drama queen; last year, I almost passed out several times because of it. Once, right in the middle of shopping for a new phone! I just randomly started feeling dizzy and claustrophobic and started panicking and taking my clothes off! The sales assistant obviously got all weirded out because one minute I’m talking to him about phones, and the other, I’m stripping. And FYI, that wasn’t very movie-like either!

 

Favorite Looks of the Week

July 17, 2011

WHO, WHAT, WHERE: Blake Lively in a sheer grey Marchesa gown at the BAFTA “Brits To Watch” event in LA & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a white lace Dolce & Gabbana dress while promoting Transformers: Dark of the Moon in Shanghai.

WHY: It’s the brink of summer and nothing says HOT quite like summer neutrals, crisp cottons and breezy chiffon fabrics. I decided to club Blake and Rosie together because they both donned neutrals from head to toe and went for a similar laid-back approach to hair and makeup. Blake Lively looked like a Grecian goddess and for once I even like her hair (catch a close-up here!), which is mostly where I tend to disagree with her. I would have gone for a darker lip color (something like Rosie’s), but that’s again just my tendency to add a little bit of color to everything!

As for Rosie, I think I’ve obsessed with the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2011 collection enough times for you to know why this would be a favorite! The sheer lace panel on the dress is simply gorgeous, and I love how she didn’t overthink the outfit and went for simple pointed toe pumps. I always feel that pointed toe styles look the chicest paired with mid-length skirts and dresses. Adore her side swept hair too. She’s such a stunner and completely flawless!

Have a preference among the two?

Kisses,

SK
