Isn’t it tricky what you should wear when you go shopping? I was headed to the Tommy Hilfiger store in Mumbai to review their spring/summer collection and hopefully, make an addition to my wardrobe.

What I wore: Flower Pot Printed Dress – Chemistry | Clutch – BlackCurrent at Bliss | Shoes – Platinum Mall, Bangkok

What I tried: I put together three different looks so you get a feel and idea of the range.

First up, it was a blue and white dress with piping on the neckline and a waist belt to match. I loved the casual avatar. The fabric is perfect for the summers, the striped pattern is classic and the silhouette comfortable. And you don’t need to break the bank to own it, it’s aptly priced.

Alice Wandering… was invited to a bloggers’ meet organised by Ralph Lauren to introduce their Big Pony fragrance collection for women before it hits the Indian market. I would’ve probably missed it since I was attending a screenwriting workshop but my sister came to the rescue. She went for it and told me all about it. I was so impressed and inspired by the collection and what she had to say, I  just had to share it with all of you.

The Big Pony Collection for Women is a series of four fragrances embracing dynamic femininity. It explores four vital attributes; Sporty, Sensual, Free-Spirit and Style. All four colorful fragrances are bright, playful, energizing and set upon a floral backdrop. Based on a duo of ingredients, each fragrance pops with a unique accent of Citrus, Fruit, Green or Oriental to establish a clear identity with a distinctive twist.

There’s something about Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. It looks quirky and fresh. Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor‘s pairing is refreshing. And the styling seems really interesting. The other day, I was watching the song Aahatein from the film as it appeared in my Facebook newsfeed. And what do I notice at 1:01 mins on the video? Kareena Kapoor wearing the cardigan from Promod I had contemplated buying. Remember this? I love spotting style on celluloid! Do you enjoy it as much?

How hot is Ranbir Kapoor as a rockstar?! Last evening, him and A R Rahman and Mohit Chauhan and team Rockstar performed a concert to promote the movie. I thought Ranbir Kapoor was droolworthy. Don’t you agree?

My favourites from the album are: Jo Bhi Main, Saada Haq, Katiya Karun and Tum Ho. That makes up a big chunk of the album but such is A R Rahman music. Which is your favourite track?

If you’re hooked on to Saada Haq. The song has that quality, doesn’t it? You might be interested in these Saadda Haq tees the Loose Ends store is stocking. Ranbir Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali were both spotted wearing them at Ranbir Kapoor’s surprise birthday bash.

Alice loves the Volkswagen Beetle

Browning’s words are so true. I grew up listening to a joke involving a Volkswagen. The punch line was that Volkswagen’s boot was at the front of the car. In my grown up years, I haven’t owned a real Beetle but I bought my sister a toy Barbie one when she was 9. We still have it and every time my nephew comes over, he has to play with it! In the year that went by, gen next Hindi film heroines, namely Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone identified the Beetle as the car for their on-screen characters. You remember the blog I wrote? I haven’t managed to test drive it yet but may be there’s a sign.
