BAGWATI : Point Lace collab

"Table for three - You, Me and my BAG"

Ladies handbags are not just mere carriers of female possessions. They 're beautiful, elegant and can do wonders for your outfit and confidence. Most women would love to own a warehouse of these in all possible colors and designs but we're not all that blessed. But you can atleast set out to extend your collection as much as you can.


Sonam must be having enough bags to fill an entire room ! Baguettes, satchels, totes , hobo's.....you name it and she has it! Getting confused with what are all these? Lets take a sneak peak to brush ourselves on some Bagwati lingo !

The Baguette
Mmm, Baguettes. Unfortunately, here we're referring to the rectangular bag and not the crispy, toasted 12" long bread.Very functional and utilitarian, the baguette bag occupies a special space in the hearts of working women.

The Bucket

With a long strap and usually an open top, the bucket bag can very definitely be described as  feminine an chic. It is sufficiently roomy and wide enough to encompass all the essentials.

The clutch



Ah, the clutch . An essential part of every woman's wardrobe, the clutch is for the minimalistic woman. With only enough space for credit cards, lipstick, cash and identity, the clutch presents no hassles and is easy to carry around.

The Envelope

Sure to make a style statement on any occasion, the envelope bag is so named because of its flap which folds over much like the flap of an envelope. Alia Bhatt carries an envelope with much ease in the movie Student Of the Year !


The Hobo

The name sure does give away a lot about this bag's personality. But let's not start judging just yet. The hobo bag has a long shoulder strap and a  single, wide compartment that is perfect for a college- going girl to keep all her books in.


The Sling


Casually slung across one shoulder, the sling bag is very outdoorsy and perfect for days when you don't want to be worried about trudging around with a heavy bag. It also gives off a very
 summery , flirty vibe. 

The Miniaudiere

Extremely classy and jazzy, the miniaudiere is smaller that a clutch and usually shimmery, being encased in sequins, precious stones and diamonds. Due to its elegance and the obvious eyeball popping price tag, it is conventionally showcased on nights when limousines are
 rented !


The Satchel

The Satchel bag has always been unfairly classified as a mundane, common place bag with no chic factor. But this is not true. Satchels can be incredibly edgy and trendy when chosen in the right color and paired with the right outfit. It's all about the mix and match !

The Athletic

The name itself is a dead giveaway. The athletic bag is spacious because it is usually stuffed with smelly gym socks and clothes. But now its making a cut through in the wardrobes of fashionistas with slings, hobo and tote styles. Not to forget our yoga bag which is getting a fun makeover day by day !



The Tote

Saving the best for the last,we have the tote bag which is every woman's favourite. Easily the largest kind of bag on the list , the tote is held dear by women worldwide because no matter how stuffed it already is, there's always room to fit in an extra hairbrush or a bottle of vodka. Hey, no one's judging. Your secret's safe in the tote !





Lastly, take good care of your bags and they are sure to make you happy for a long time ! Or you can employ your man to take care of your asset like Farhan Akhtar (seen in pic) in the movie Zindagi Na Milege Doobara !


Point Lace COLLAB is an intiative to collaborate with like minded people on writing, photography, styling, thoughts, ideas etc. Please do write in in case you want to be a part of this project .

50 shades of red : MARSALA

“If I could tell you about Red,  I would sing to you of fire Sweet like cherries,  Burning like cinnamon Smelling like a rose in the sun” 
Marsala, the pantone color of the year 2015, has found its presence even before its official announcement. We take you through a journey of this color in all walks of life.

The versatile color has found a place in glossy cosmetics as well as the earthy walls of our house. Its texture appeals the fabrics as well semi precious jewels.


Its difficult to exactly define MARSALA , but anything between maroon and red with a little hint of rust could be its definition. Though at some places hues and shades could range from redddish brown to reddish purple also.


auburn, red, ginger, and burnt red are totally on the radar this year.


The Duchess of Cambridge has been often criticized for her drab taste in dressing, which has been proven ill-founded as she emerges as the Kaleidoscopic Kate.

NAILED IT !

“Be a lady? Forget it. Ladies don't last a day in the real word. No one's a lady anymore. Why do you think we get our claws polished?” 

Nails have been back in fashion. Gone are the perfectly polished french manicure days in white and nude...its time to experiment, time to unleash the wildness within you. From caviar nails to neatly done Popsicle of color , nail art has come a long way than just being your teen daughter's time pass act.


So here is a guide to nail art's sported by various celebrities, internationally and in india.

Tooo much of nail art I guess .....!!!

 Katy Perry singing all along .."This is how we do " !!


Lady gaga shouting out loud " Do what you want"


Rihanna's bitchy llok says " Bitch better have my money "


"The devil wears prada" for Anne Hathway 

Indian actresses have though not much experiemented with nail art. They prefer to play safe or prepare themselves to suit particular roles or photoshoots.

Fashionista Sonam Kaapoor trying to flaunt a different kind of nail art....."Its cool to sport your voting mark"



Indians have always had nails painted in the most natural way... be it the orange color of mehndi or the red color of the alta....it adores the feet and hands of every bride-to-be. 
The significance of Alta was that it resembled blood, which is symbolic of fertility and prosperity.  However, the Islamic invasion of India brought along with its new customs and traditions – henna or mehendi, being one of them.  Due to the increasing influence of Muslim culture, the usage of Alta was slowly replaced by Henna in other parts of India.


“I am different when my nails are done. I am more dynamic. I gesticulate more, I am better at scaring my staff. I can indicate impatience by drumming on tabletops and I can wrap up a meeting with a few choice clatters.” says a  bollywood insider.
