Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna, The Exotic!

In a good way, I believe Lakshmi is too hot for the South Cinema. The only daughter of the most versatile Tollywood actor Mohan Babu. She is a proud graduate of theatre / performing arts from Oklahoma University, actress, model, producer, philanthropist and television host! Did you know she had a limited edition perfume on her name "Iconoclast By Lakshmi Manchu"? Although, I wonder why "Iconoclast"!

Exotic, see!!!

She is definitely the Jill of all trades. Most recently, she is blessed with a beautiful girl! Seems she is the first surrogate mother from Tollywood, but lets not discuss such delicate issues here. They are too personal to be rambled about! Yummy mummy club welcomes you, dear!

She is crisp clear in voicing out her opinions. Her presence in the social scene is evident since her visit to India for her elder brother's wedding. She definitely deserves a mention in every fashion blog. She is so mystic and exotic, it doesn't require a professional lens to see that! Her style is kind of feisty with a dash of ethnic! She can carry a dress and a saree with similar ease. No wonder people watch her shows for her wardrobe. I cant resist, but let me save her jewellery posts for the future! The way she hosts is very cute, especially when she puts the guest in soup.

Watch her in the short film Thank You For Washing especially if you are a germaphobe like me! Her expressions are really hilarious. Love you for that, Lakshmi!!!

Shreedevi Chowdary Nekkanti, Our Coco Chanel...

What an apt title and tagline for our darling Shree! She reminds me of the line, "Why should boys have all the fun?" She is a business woman who is serious about her money! She wants an empire, in her own lines! She is the vibe of Hyderabad social scene, especially charity shows. See, fashion for a cause. Now, thats something noteworthy. I also assume she is a producer of lifestyle and fashion magazine AGL.

Ain't she a beauty? Gosh, I sound like a man!!!

Picture perfect!

I am not her stalker, but just an ardent admirer! You too can admire and appreciate her through her facebook page "Shreedevi Chowdary." She is the first woman who made me realize I am crap! There! I never thought I would say it, but I finally said it! One should really admire how much effort and time goes in doing what she does! 

Sparkles!

She is full of energy and giggles! She pops, she sparkles and she buzzes electricity! She can don Kanjeevaram and Chikankari in the same frame with elan! I believe nobody can capture her at her best than Amit Khanna or Devi Satish! Let me stop this madness here and leave the research to you. I will move on to the real post.

The inner child!

All giggles!

Shree is one of Gaurang's muses from Hyderabad. From what I read, her jewellery for the photo shoots are sponsored by MBS Jewellers, Hyderabad. Now, Gaurang's wardrobe and MBS jewellery is one hell of  a combination for someone royal and regal. Guess who fits the bill better? Shree, it is!!! No wonder she graces every fashion blog and website!

Turquoise magic?

Shree and one of her friends, Deepthi Rajesh came up with their own label "Shree & Deepthi"in early 2014. I have no doubts about their label's future especially when Shree models their range. By the way, Deepthi Rajesh is famous for something else, too! She deserves a seperate post, darlings! Good lord, spoiler alert again!

Delicate as Daisy

Pristine as Pearl

Shree is never-ending like FTv! One post is definitely not enough for a woman who is capable of giving models a run for their money! Good work, Shree! Love...

Tibarumal, A Must Visit Jewellery Store In Hyderabad!!!

If I had only one chance to visit a jewellery store, it will be Tibarumal. I am not from Hyderabad, so geographically it was not possible for me to buy anything so far from them. But, never say never :)

Like they say, you dont have to eat every grain to see if its cooked or not. Same applies to Tibarumal Jewellers. Come back for a visual feast, thanks to Tibarumal. Lets not talk much and spoil the fun, shall we?

You can contact Tibarumal here...

Gaurang, A Blessing To The Handloom Industry!!!

I am aware of the label "Gaurang" by Gaurang Shah since early 2013. All I know about him is his work, so I am still working out on my research. No offence, but he is the South-Indian Sabyasachi. Only, it gets much better every season. I wont get too deep into the details as I know the next thing you do after reading this post is dig for Gaurang Shah. Apart from his striking cute smile, his designs are to die for. People, including me find them very expensive. When I say expensive, they are like crazily expensive. But I guess customization comes with certain privileges where price tag is one of them. His work is so distinctive you can easily identify.

How cute can a picture get???

Ever-graceful Kiron Kher, bubbly Taapsee Pannu, "the real Indian woman" Vidya Balan as muses and Mamata Reddy to adorn the walls on his stores with her distinctive Kalamkari patterns, now you know what to expect when you visit the store. He works with two other like-minded people Mira Sagar@Vaya and Bappaditya Biswas@Byloom. This trio works for a good cause and its definitely something we dont get to see often. Gaurang collection features Uppada, Kanjeevaram, Paithani, Kota and Banares. He also works on Khadi, which made me notice his work upfront. Up until Gaurang, Khadi for me was something from my granny's wardrobe. Now thanks to him, I am dying to own a Khadi saree. Oh yeah, he makes salwar suits too! You can visit Gaurang stores in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore and save the best for last, Chennai which opened yesterday probably!

How could I forget the most stylish Shreedevi Chowdary Nekkanti from Hyderabad? She dons so many feathers in her hat, so I will probably save that for an exclusive post. I am telling you, she is not to miss! She is the beauty with one hell of a wardrobe loaded with probably all possible designer labels from around the world. If its a saree, I see her mostly in Gaurang as they are very distinctive on her.

Moving on, you can either visit the store or contact Gaurang here...
