Sonam Kapoor is the cover girl for this months issue of Femina. Part of the article includes Sonam’s top 14 style must-haves, which i found to be an interesting read and so i have typed that particular part of the article out to share with you my lovely readers!
(Now if Sonam ever came across this blog, i don’t think she would be too impressed with the wedges i bought a few days ago lol)
Sonam’s top 14 style must-haves
1. My Bag: Make that ‘bags’. I love big bags. I have Prada’s skin bag and fringe bag, a few Chanels, three Marc Jacobs including the quilted Stam bag, a fabulous silver Gucci my mom gifted me and several Swarovski evening clutches.

In my bag: Two phones – one iPhone and one Nokia, a Conair hairbrush, a Valentino wallet, credit cards, cash, a club membership card, a Jill Thompson make-up case, Neutrogena sunscreen with SPF 45, a couple of perfumes – Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Silver Rain by La Prairie and Michael by Michael Kors, MAC lip balm, Creme de la Mer cream, moisturiser by Lancome, Chanel and MAC cheek tints, vitamins………
3. Flats or heels? Both. I love Christian Louboutin and Chanel shoes. Right now i’m loving my Jimmy Choo silver flats too. Sneakers by Stella McCartney for Adidas, and Nike. Embroidered mojris from Lucknow…….
4. Best places to shop: The best place for fashion is New York. I pick up stuff from department stores, the Village, 5th Avenue and vintage stores. In fact, i picked up a vintage Chanel couture dress and some great pieces by Missoni, YSL and Diane von Furstenburg in vintage stores. It helps that i’m a size 4……
5. Favourtie designers: Chanel, YSL, John Galliano for Dior, Chloe, Balenciaga, John Paul Gaultier for his embroidered coats, Diane von Furstenburg, Prada for everything, Anamika Khanna, Anurada Vakil for her creative use of Indian textiles, Rajesh Pratap Singh for his sheath dresses, Manish Arora (who i can’t wear but still admire) and Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla.
6. At airports i splurge on: Perfumes, creams, dvds……
7. Secret of my long healthy hair: I oil massage it regularly and plait it every night. I use Kerastase products…..
8. Fashion icons i admire: Sienna Miller for her style, Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman who look great on the red carpet, Keira Knightley sometimes, Dita von Teese for being so much fun, Beyonce who’s managed to make an unconventional body type seem hot, Shobhaa De for her saris, my sister Rhea Kapoor and my mom; Rita Dhody and Karisma Kapoor for looking great in jeans and no make-up…….
9. What i’m wearing alot: Skinny jeans that make my legs look good, high-waisted and flared jeans by J&Company, and Wolford tights under everything when its cold.
10. Favourite jeans: J&Company, Diesel and True Religion, by Victoria Beckham.
11. What i’d buy next: For my mom, a diamond-encrusted Hermes Birkin; for my sister, a black Kelly and for my dad, an Armani suit and a diamond-encrusted Breguet watch.
12. Watches i own: Cartier, Breguet and Bvlgari. My dad spoils me rotten.
13. Fashion horror: I hate wedge heels – i think they look hideous.
14. Craziest fashion thing i’ve done: I was 14 and visiting my mom’s best friend in London. I bought black nail polish and lipstick. My parents were horrorified.

Good Lord, her handbag must be the size of a suitcase! hee-hee I’m always changing purses so I try to keep it down to just a few basics. What about the rest of you?
I tend to carry quite big handbags, which has often resulted in my sister teasing me about them and asking me if im actually going on holiday instead of just shopping! lol
I am trying to cut down on buying big handbags though……but i just seem to be attracted to them since i carry around so much
I would love to be able just to fit everything into a clutch though, but first i need to find one……
A hairdryer? Good gracious; she must have back problems!
Oops I guess she said hairBRUSH; i need to learn how to read. tee hee. either way, it is a lot to cram into a handbag. she should just purchase a donkey and have it haul her crap.
