Mumbai, October 14, 2014:Akshay Kumar has styled his own look for his extra special appearance in the upcoming film 'The Shaukeens'. In the film, Akshay is making an appearance as a spoilt version of himself. It comes as no surprise that Akshay decided to create his own style statement by designing his wardrobe himself. Since he is playing himself, the actor decided to keep it simple and dress the way he usually would for the film. Director Abhishek Sharma points out,"Because he is playing himself, he wanted to be comfortable in whatever he wore. And I thought it was a great idea, mainly because he is anyway so well-dressed and dapper in real life too. So I knew there was no way we could go wrong." Some of Akshay Kumar’s outfits in the film have been picked out from his personal wardrobe. For all the other outfits, he personally picked up international designer wear on his trips to Dubai and London. 'The Shaukeens' is a remake of 1982 comedy movie ‘Shaukeen’ directed by Basu Chatterjee. It stars Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor, Piyush Mishra and Lisa Haydon along with Akshay Kumar in his most special appearance. Produced by Cine1 Studios, Cape Of Good Films & Ashwin Varde Productions and directed by Abhishek Sharma, the film is set to release on November 7, 2014. Source: Article

The palate of this co-created line features monochromatic shades like dusty rose pink and cobalt blue. In a statement Padukone said “Well, I’m hardly a designer. I think I am someone who has ideas but I’m not very good at executing. I’m very open to seeing new things and sharing my ideas, and then of course I need people to help me put it all together.” She says the collection is a little bit of what she already has and what she would like to see herself wearing. The collection is about wearing your own personality. The campaign for the clothing collection has been shot in Milan. “These dresses are an ultimate combination of style, class, modernity and substance.

Katy Perry Killer Queen Fragrance Review (2014-03-04T21:08:00+05:30)
By Smaranda: Katy Perry has just launched her 3rd fragrance yet: Killer Queen, the first done in collaboration with Coty. Personally, I wasn't a fan of Katy's previous two scents; the good news for me is that Killer Queen marks a departure from its predecessors and it is a definite improvement. The new licensing partnership with Coty is a good move for Katy;when it comes to celebrity scents, Coty is the biggest player on the market. Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Moss, David Beckham are some of the big names included in Coty's ever-growing portfolio of celebrity fragrances. Killer Queen has been announced as a playful, powerful, edgy and delicious fragrance, with top notes of wild berries, dark plum and bergamot, middle notes of red velvet flower (Celosia), Sambac jasmine and rainbow plumeria, over a base of cashmeran, patchouli and liquid praline. (Plumeria is a sweet tropical flower, also known as frangipani and cashmeran is a synthetic musky note designed to replicate the texture of cashmere.) Citing some of the influences that inspired her in choosing the right scent and packaging, Katy Perry mentions fragrances like Thierry Mugler's Alien and Tom Ford's Black Orchid:“I wanted some floral [notes], like jasmine...it does have a bit of a gourmand thing to it. I wanted the scent to have a little bit of ambiguity. I was attracted to scents in the last couple of years like Alien by Thierry Mugler and Black Orchid from Tom Ford. They’re too strong for me to wear all the time, and I didn’t want to them to be [copies], just to have a hint of ambiguity like they do. It’s sophisticated, but it’s not alienating my main group of people. The patchouli heart gives it ambiguity and this thing called cashmeran is really cool. It has this real curve ball in it that I think is sophisticated but still super sexy.” (WWD) As far as the packaging goes, Katy was inspired by the quirky, non conventional presentation of Jean Paul Gaultier's fragrances: “One thing I was really inspired by was Jean-Paul Gaultier’s fragrances, time after time after time,” said Perry. “There was the snow globe [Fragile], he was doing a bust [Signature], he was doing this or that. But he always did something that made me want to keep the bottle as a keepsake afterwards. I felt cool if I had one on a shelf in my room, even if there was no juice left in it. That inspired me. There isn’t any point for me to put out something that doesn’t stand out — because that is so not like me.” (WWD) Upon first spray, Killer
Queen opens with fruity notes, mainly a mix of plum and berries, although I can pick up some citrus accord right at the beginning as well (coming from the bergamot). This is not an extremely fruity scent and you don't have to wait too long for the middle and base notes to shine through: the mix of florals and the patchouli base with added sweetness (from the praline note) are noticeable right from the start. It is actually well blended and more grown-up than Katy's previous scents. Killer Queen is not a fruity floral, and I wouldn't call it a floral oriental (floriental) either. I would say it follows the current trend of the 'fruitchouli", that is scents that have a fruity opening over a prominent sweet patchouli base (with the middle often being a combo of floral notes). It is a fun, potent scent, with good lasting power on my skin. If you are wondering what other scents I would compare it to, just to give you a better idea about how it smells, I would say it falls in the same category with Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb and Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum. If sweet, patchouli-based scents are your thing, then Katy Perry Killer Queen should go on your list. Katy Perry's Killer Queen is available as 15 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml Eau de Parfum and you can find it in stores now, Source: Smartologie.com

Google Glass is Transforming Wearable Technology (2013-04-02T22:31:00+05:30)
It’s estimated that one million wearable devices will ship by the beginning of 2014, and it’s also estimated that there will be 300 million shipped by 2018.
Of course, these are what I call “soft trends,” meaning they’re not solid numbers; they’re projections. But it does indicate how rapidly wearable devices will impact us. Perhaps one of the most publicized wearable devices is Google Glass, which is essentially a pair of glasses you wear that has a mini display screen you can see in the corner of your vision. There is a touch pad on the side of the glasses that you can use to access information and a camera to capture activities in front of you. It also has a microphone so you can use voice recognition to have it type messages or to send commands, like you do with Apple’s Siri or Google’s version of Siri, called Google Now. Will everyone be wearing these glasses soon? Probably not. In fact, many places will
likely ban them. For example, teachers wouldn't allow students to wear the glasses, especially during test taking, because they’d be able to access notes and answers. Likewise, business meetings may not allow the wearing of the glasses because it has a built in camera and microphone, enabling an attendee to record sensitive information. With that said, though, there are indeed many specialized uses for the glasses. Already, doctors are using Google Glass during surgery so they don’t have to take their eyes off of the operating table to view things like blood pressure, pulse, and temperature readings. But it doesn’t have to stop there. By combining Google glasses with something called Augmented Reality, which overlays information onto a live camera image, you could help train future surgeons. For example, a medical student could look at a patient’s stomach area and receive detailed information about where each organ is located. It may even overlay a digital incision line to show the student where to operate. So there are many uses for Google Glass when it comes to
Hybrid Apps and its utilities with Google Glass makes an elite combination
simulations. Another use, again combined with augmented reality, could be when shopping. If you’re in a new city’s shopping district and wondering where to find stores or products, you could put on your glasses, say what you’re looking for, and the screen on your Google Glass would show not only the stores in your line of sight, but also overlay the types or names of products in each store. There are also business applications for the glasses. If you’re working and need to access information, but are not at a work surface, you could put on your glasses and access the information in your visual field. For example, if you’re out fixing telephone lines, you could wear the glasses, see the image of your worksite in the screen, and have the information overlaid of what each wire does and which one you need to work on. Of course, you can do many of these things with a smart phone currently, but why take the smart phone out when you can just wear a pair of glasses and do it hands-free? The Google Glass makes it much more convenient. In short, the applications for Google Glass are powerful and almost unlimited. It’s one wearable technology that will revolutionize many areas of life.
