Anand Kabra
The Anand Kabra label retails in various upscale boutiques all over India and appeals to a remarkable mix of high profile clientele, the likes of which include Feroz Gujral, Shobhaa De, Pinky Reddy and Dia Mirza. Lakme Fashion Week has finally brought Anand Kabra, an introvert by nature, into the spotlight. His designs, contrary to his reticent personality, never fail to make a bold style statement. Using the different identities of a woman as his true inspiration, he inimitably combines pure Indian fashion with western silhouettes to create unique designs. Take your pick from his trousseau ensembles or, the more sophisticated western line.
Available at select stores all over the country.

Cristalline
Cristalline is a vibrant, fun and trendy jewellery line created by Rekha Wadhwani. From arts and crafts, flower arrangements, Japanese brush paintings to making hair accessories which she supplied to Body Shop, Rekha's fascination with stretch cord jewellery convinced her to experiment with crystals and glass beads four years ago. Over the last couple of years she has introduced a wider, more exciting range of items such as earrings, anklets, prayer beads, phone tags, handbag tags, wine charms and candle decorations, using a lot of Swarovski and Austrian crystals, cultured pearls, semi-precious stones, shells and resin coated beads. The eye-catching crystal and pearl bracelets are an irrefutable favourite.

Kanchan And Amrita Mehra
A jewellery designer with twenty years of experience and a young turk with practical knowledge from The Gemological Institute of America. This talented and skilled mother-daughter duo have created their own exquisite jewellery line featuring diamond, pearl and coloured stone bangles, earrings, rings, necklaces and cuffs. They focus on constantly creating new and unique concepts that are in sync with the latest fashion trends. The precious and semi-precious stones used by Amrita and Kanchan are hugely influenced by the different seasons; for spring/summer they use bright, vivid stones like turquoise, citrine and corals; for fall/winter, rich, deep tones of rubies and sapphires. We recommend their chic cocktail jewellery which would be suitable for numerous occasions.

LIP PLUMPERS: Opt for Primal Elements, Bella Corp or Juice Beauty, all fused with Vitamin A and E as well as essential aloe and soybean oil that keeps lips soft and glowing. This sumptuous gloss also induces stimulation and proves to be a temporary quick fix to get those luscious bee stung lips. Available in delicious butterscotch, bubblegum and cinnamon honey flavours.
BACKLESS DIAMANTE BRA: This is the ideal solution for all those sensational backless dresses and tops where the glimpse of a bra is considered truly distasteful. Featuring two adjustable strings of diamantés across the back, instead of just the usual back strap, this bra provides just the right element of glamour and sensuous appeal. Choose from black or white and add a glittery matching thong to be really adventurous.
