Collection Peter Copping’s creative direction at Oscar de la Renta is still in its infancy, as he discovers the world of the late designer and how to treat it. Resort was Copping’s second collection third if you count bridal for the house, and he used it to explore one of de la Renta’s signature motifs bright color through the lens of his favorite places.

“I really wanted to marry two of Oscar’s worlds, New York City and Punta Cana,” Copping said. It goes without saying that Oscar de la Renta’s love for unapologetic femininity, which Copping shares, was also a major factor.

Beach colors of marigold, magenta, persimmon and marine blue were used in bold floral prints and embroideries, sometimes in tandem on printed dresses with embroidered over-bodices.

Copping tends toward a light construction, which refreshed neat daywear, such as a black and white mini daisy dot cotton poplin skirt suit, and gave breathing room to voluminous taffeta gowns and cocktail dresses that riffed on opera coats. Swimwear-inspired bodices and a filmy caftan Copping’s first ever underscored the air of ease that’s wafting through the house.

Be Reasonable:

Unfortunately, there isn’t a magic trick to make any shade and kind of lipstick stay on your lips for 12 hours or more. If you really want to know how to make lipstick last longer, be prepared to let go of shimmering colors, which last the least.

The key is to style with your fingers, no need to brush or blow dry, this will create volume where you don’t want it, the idea is to create a relaxed look.

CITY SLICKER:

If a relaxed hairstyle isn’t what you’re after, why not try a more suave look with a wellgroomed hair style. Again, ensure you’ve had a good hair cut. The sides and backs need to be shorter, perhaps a grade 4 into a grade 2 to blend or with scissors for a softer finish. Recommended products are ‘Texture Refine’ or ‘American Crew Fiber’ which will give a gentleman a classic style. You could you a comb for a stronger look, however it’s probably easier to style with your fingers. This style looks great with a modern suit and smart attire.

LONG HAIR:

And no, I’m not talking biker style. Good healthy shoulder-length hair is really making a comeback within men’s fashion. A lot of stylists and grooming experts are encouraging men to grow their hair.

Generally, men with long hair tend to keep it in better condition than women as women fiddle with it too much, just be sure to go for regular trims, keep it clean and use a good conditioner such as ‘Sassoon Advanced Condition.’

You could add a matte hair product to the ends to help keep control in the wind.

TOP KNOT:

Following on from those that have long hair; it brings the option to wear your hair tied back. Brush you hair back with your fingers into a ponytail or top knot. If the hair is brushed and in good condition the style could suit almost anyone. This style can work really well with a rugged man sporting a beard since it offers an interesting and sophisticated contrast.

No Time for Workout Other Ways to Lose Weight

EAT SMALLER PORTIONS:

“You don’t need to cook your own food or even eat different food to lose weight,” says Katula.

“You just need to eat less, and eating less doesn’t take more time or cost more money.” Most people need to consume between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day if they want to drop pounds in a healthy and sustainable way and for a lot of people, eating appropriate portion sizes, skipping dessert, or not going back for seconds is one of the easiest ways to reduce their total calorie intake.

DON’T SKIP MEALS:

This may seem counterintuitive after advice to eat less overall, but busy people especially may need to space out their calories more throughout the day, says Jessica Bartfield, MD, clinical assistant professor at Loyola University’s Center for Metabolic Surgery and Bariatric Care.

That’s because going more than four or five hours without refueling can slow metabolism, affect hormones and insulin levels, and contribute to unhealthy food choices when you do finally sit down to eat. “A lot of our overweight patients aren’t necessarily overeating, but their eating patterns have become so erratic they have a cup of coffee in the morning and then no real food until late afternoon,” she says. “They key is to avoid that and keep a consistent schedule, whether that’s three meals a day and a couple of snacks, or five mini meals.”

SQUEEZE IN MORE MOVEMENT:

Setting aside time for a 30- or 60-minute workout is ideal, “but you can burn a lot of calories in not-so-ideal workout situations, too,” says Katula. In fact, there’s nothing wrong with breaking up your 150 recommended minutes of weekly moderate exercise into short bursts throughout your day. “If you can fit in 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at lunch, and 10 minutes at night, and you can do that five days a week, you’re there,” he says. Katula tells his patients to think of burning calories they way they think of saving money. “We do so many little things clip coupons, buy store brands to save a dime here or a quarter there, because we know it adds up.

USE YOUR WEEKENDS WISELY: Even if your job requires long and grueling hours, hopefully you have at least a couple of days off every week to regroup and plan ahead. “Even though we’re pressed for time, most of us have pretty predictable schedules,” says Dr. Bartfield. “So it can help to spend some time on Saturday and Sunday shopping for healthy food, preparing some lunch and dinner items for the week, and deciding which days you’re going to eat what.”

PRACTICE SIMPLE FOOD SWAPS:

You can also use your day or days off to get in longer workouts than you’d Just like Katula tells his patients to think of exercise like they do clipping coupons, he tells them to think of have time for during the week, says their food choices the same way. “Whether it’s leaving Katula. “If you can get in 120 minutes of exercise over the weekend, the cheese off a hamburger or switching from mayo to honey mustard, there are so many little things you you really only need to dedicate small can do and so many little swaps you can make over the amounts of time throughout the week course of a day that can add up and save you calories to reach your 150-minute goal.” without costing you any extra time.” Think about your daily beverages too, not just your solid foods. Switch- BE ACTIVE WITH FRIENDS ing from soda to seltzer water with lemon (or even to AND FAMILY: diet soda), or using less sugar in your coffee, for exam- You may argue that weekends are ple, can save you several pounds a year. for family time, or that you’d rather spend your precious free time with

MAKE SURE YOU’RE SLEEPING ENOUGH: friends. Why not turn that social time When it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day, it may be tempting to stay up late or wake up super early just to get everything done especially if you’re trying to squeeze in regular exercise in addition to everything else you have to do. That strategy can backfire if you’re not getting enough quality shuteye for your body to function properly, says Katula. “If you’re trying to change your behavior and lose weight by eating less and moving more, you will be more likely to achieve that if you are getting the proper amount of sleep,” he says. Sell yourself short and you may lack the energy needed to complete your workouts; even worse, you’ll crave sugary and fatty foods that will help you stay awake, but will wreak havoc on your waistline.

into fitness time? “You don’t need to go to the gym for it to count as exercise,” says Katula. “You can play with your kids for a few hours and still get your heart rate up and see beneficial results.” Join a pick-up sports league or a running group with friends, or swap your typical happy-hour date for a Spin class together. Or, start a weekly walking or hiking tradition with your family. Either way, being active with others can help you stick with it. “Social support is a key ingredient to any sort of behavior change,” says Katula.

HEALTHY-MEAL SHORTCUTS:

We’re often told to steer clear of packaged foods for better health, but some frozen and premade goods can truly help you whip up a healthy meal in minutes, says Bartfield. “There are tons of good options in the freezer aisle, either for individuals or even family-size meals, that can be prepared quickly,” she says. “Or you could buy a rotisserie chicken take the skin off and slice it on top of a salad, or buy frozen vegetables to serve with it.” (Keep in mind that rotisserie chickens can be high in sodium, so cut back your intake from other sources.) On nights when even that’s not an option, you still have choices about where you eat out or what prepared foods you bring home; the key is knowing ahead of time which restaurant you’ll choose and which items are healthiest, so you’re not stuck making a last-minute (bad) decision.

It’s simply that the stage is relatively tremendous so the reaction is huge as well. With respect to the bubbly picture, I don’t mean to dispose it off for a couple of years.

The genuine bubbliness is never going without end; in any event not till I’m in my mid 20, I’m living my dream and that’s one of the reasons I don’t dwell into the technicalities of how different they both are. I’m glad I’m getting to learn the basics of film acting from the very best people. I am also ecstatic that I’m being loved and pampered here in India and am super motivated to deliver my best.

Your new look stunned and astonished numerous… would you truly like to dispose of your bubbly picture in PakiRanbir Kapoor’s video message was a stani shows? huge thing for a newbie like you… have Mawra Hocane (MH): First of all, give me you got to meet him yet? a chance to elucidate several things. Since I have entered Bollywood, I need to investigate new skylines as an on-screen character. Our kin dependably require some investment to conform at whatever point something new is done and that is precisely what happened with my shoot.

I’m totally fine with the overall population response, on the other hand, I’m extremely grateful to my fans for such a tremendous positive reaction.I don’t feel I’ve done anything diverse to what’s going on in all the Pakistani movies as well.

MH: I’ve got more things to be joyous about than just that video alone. Mawra is so happy to become a part of such a huge platform at a tender age. “I’m the youngest to hit Indian cinema from Pakistan because in the past people first got to establish themselves in Karachi or Lahore and then got a break in Bollywood.

Preity Zinta I Never Wanted To Be An Actress

How is it to judge a reality show?

It’s not easy to critique someone but I don’t think I have a problem with being honest. But as long as you can critique and encourage them, then the criticism becomes constructive.

If you just criticise and be mean, it becomes destructive. And I always treat people the way I like to be treated by them.

What would you be if you were not an actress?

I don’t know, but I never wanted to be an actress.

Till date my mother tells me when I was a little kid I told her I wanted to be the Prime Minister, a cop or even a judge. I even said I wanted to join the army or be a truck driver, but I never said that I wanted to be an actress.

I went from criminal psychology to being an actress and then into cricket.

You are a bold and outspoken person. Has it ever posed a problem for you?

I don’t have time to think about what others think. I stopped thinking about what others think a long time ago. Because when you start thinking about that, you start feeling bad, you start looking bad and you can’t sleep. It’s not just one other person; there is just one ‘you’ and billions of others. I just think about the people who love me, whom I love and what they think about me. I don’t waste my time on yeh kya soch raha hai, woh kya soch raha hai (what does this or that person think).

What kind of wife you would be?

I will be the most amazing wife.

What is status of your upcoming movie Bhaiyyaji Superhitt?

We are going to complete the film when Sunny Deol finishes his film (Ghayal Once Again). We are going to start working on it very soon.

What depresses you?

Whenever something in life is not on the right track, depression automatically sets in. But I can’t be sad for a long time. I am a happy person.

What do you do when you are upset?

I shut myself in my room, scream loudly and cry it all out.

And in some time, I’m fine again.

Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do is a film that has its heart in the right place but its beats are terribly irregular. It is an overly caramelised and flaky dysfunctional family drama that strives – and fails – to strike a balance between the sly and the syrupy.

As a result, the nearly three-hour sea voyage, despite the game efforts of its multi-star cast to liven things up with varying degrees of spirited hamming, seems like an eternity. Dil Dhadakne Do is a mix of updated Jane Austen, Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd (minus the gay man sub-plot) and Bollywood excess on a super ship that brings out the worst in its passengers. Zoya Akhtar’s previous outing, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, was a lively road movie in which three friends undertook a trip of self-discovery.

What the film posits as sly and self-serving simply aren’t piercing enough to get to the heart of the disconcerting truths it is seeking to expose, and its generous dollops of syrup translate into a treaclysweet overdose.

The film gave us the sights and sounds of Spain like no other Hindi film has ever done. Dil Dhadakne Do goes off terra firma and boards a cruise ship with a bunch of blabbering blokes whose lives are caught in a whirlpool of lies, rivalries and unrequited desires.

Most of the drama unfolds indoors, so all one gets at regular intervals are establishing shots of the ship framed against the deep blue sea – pretty but pointless.

The ship drops anchor briefly in Istanbul, and one character tells another that there is magic in the air in this ancient Turkish city. True, but Dil Dhadakne Do does no justice to that magic, or anything else along the way. The film deals with two loveless marriages, a few unlikely liaisons, one exemplary case of sibling bonding and a host of matronly matchmakers in a manner so facile that the exercise resembles exactly what the film is about – a ten-day ride on a luxury cruise liner.

It is a leaking ship that never gathers any momentum at all and eventually sinks under the weight of a vapid, if not outright vacuous, screenplay (Akhtar and Reema Kagti, with dialogue by Farhan Akhtar). The dreary Dil Dhadakne Do isn’t likely to do for luxury cruise liners what Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara did for Spain.

It is a film that is beautiful to look at, but it says pretty much nothing that is startlingly original. It tells us that it is best to let our hearts lead the way no matter how complicated matters may become as a result of our words and deeds.

So there you are, Dil Dhadakne Do revels in stating the obvious about Homo sapiens in general and Punjabis in particular, and does so through the perspective of a canine narrator that is voiced by Aamir Khan and who speaks lines written

by Javed Akhtar. The robust and unreal Juhu ‘Funjabis‘ that we encounter in songand-dance extravaganzas from the YRF and Dharma stables, if nothing else, make an entertaining spectacle of themselves.

In Dil Dhadakne Do, the squabbling Mehras, Soods and Khannas are a surprisingly tepid lot who do a lot of talking without getting to the point. Their antics make for a dreadfully boring, overlong film that like the ship that it is set on meanders from port to port without exploring the nooks and crannies that really matter. Dil Dhadakne Do is the story of Kamal Mehra (Anil Kapoor), a self-made man who presides over a successful company, Ayka, named after his two children, Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) and Kabir (Ranveer Singh).

The philandering patriarch and his independent-spirited daughter are both unhappily married – the former to a bored homemaker Neelam (Shefali Shah) and the latter to a Mumbai businessman Manav Sanga (Rahul Bose). All of them have huge chips on their shoulders. Ayesha, founder of a thriving travel portal, has no love lost for her narrow-minded hubby.

She also has good reason to feel majorly shortchanged by her parents who not only shower all their attention on their male heir but are also guilty of forcing her to marry against her wish. Kabir, on his part, has no flair for the corporate world and flying is his “one true love�.

His world comes crashing down when his dad decides to sell the family plane because it is a dead investment for his debt-ridden business. Amid the impending crisis, to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary,

Neelam and Kamal Mehra invite friends and family over for a cruise in the course of which long-suppressed tensions and frustrations tumble forth and ignite unseemly friction. Kamal is too full of himself to notice that neither his wife nor his son and daughter think much of him. The same is true of Manav, Ayesha’s husband who believes his wife would always be at his beck and call despite the fact that she is an entrepreneur in her own right. On the ship, Ayesha comes face to face with her first love, Sunny Gill (Farhan Akhtar), the son of her dad’s trusted manager, while her drifter-brother falls head over heels for dancer Farah Ali (Anushka Sharma). More complications, more sweet nothings. Hindi cinema history has seen one big film about “loving your parents”. Dil Dhadakne Do is about “hating your parents” and in the process compelling them to change their ways.

Ownership of a luxury yacht is synonymous of unrivaled wealth, a status symbol and floating extravagance that only the world’s richest can possibly afford.

They first began to appear at the beginning of the 20th century when wealthy individuals started to commission the construction of large private yachts for their own personal pleasure.

Some of the earliest examples include the Christina O and the Savarona with a massive growth in popularity of luxury yachts taking place between 1997 and 2008. So, what originally started out as a fairly simple vessel with basic accommodation has quickly evolved into specimens incorporating features comprising the height of sophistication and luxury as demonstrated with the following top 10 most expensive luxury yachts in the world.

World’s Most Expensive Luxury Yachts

Lady Moura – $210 million:

Featuring the 10th most expensive yacht in the world is the Lady Moura, custom built by Blohm + Voss shipyards in 1990 for Saudi Arabian businessman Nasser Al-Rashid. This luxury liner is mostly recognisable from the outside owing to its name on the yacht exterior in prominent 24-carat gold lettering. The extravagance doesn’t end there. On board the 344-foot Lady Moura is a pool with retractable roof, a helicopter and a 75-foot Viscount Linley dining room table.

However, the Lady Moura’s most remarkable feature is, without a doubt, the unique sand-covered hydraulic platform that slides out of one side of the yacht which can be adjusted to sit right at the waterline. Not only does this floating oasis boast real sand and deck chairs, but also palm trees for a truly authentic experience. The Lady Moura also features a Mangusta 80 boat or 48-feet Sant Juan boat, as well as a S76B helicopter. Finally, the yacht is capable of accommodating up to 30 guests and carrying 60 crew members.

Al Mirqab – $250 million:

The Al Mirqab was built by Peters Schiffbau Wewelsfleth of Germany for Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. It comprises one of the world’s largest and was dubbed the second most beautiful yacht in the world after it was completed in 2008. On board this luxury liner are ten suites, which can accommodate up to 24 guests, each with an accompanying bathroom, living room and double bedroom. The fortunate owner has two VIP rooms for himself and there are 55 rooms for the members of crew.

Highlights of the Al Mirqab superyacht include the on-board cinema, sun deck, pool and helipad, as well as outside bars, swimming pool, jacuzzi and a range of watersports equipment.

Dilbar – $256 million:

The Dilbar Superyacht, built in 2008 by Lürssen Yachts, belongs to Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov. It was named after his mother and boasts one of the world’s largest boats measuring 360.89 feet long in total. It is frequently used by its billionaire owner to visit his private islands. The Dilbar boasts some swimming pools and a helipad, amongst many other luxury features, with enough space on deck to accommodate 20 guests and a crew of 48.

Al Said – $300 million:

Lürssen Yachts is behind this luxury private yacht belonging to, and named after, Qaboos Bin Said Al Said, the Sultan of Orman. Little is known about the Al Said apart from the fact that it houses a concert hall big enough to accommodate a 50-piece orchestra. At the time of its construction in 2007 and 2008, it comprised the world’s second largest yacht and can host up to 70 guests with a crew of 154.

Superyacht A – $323 million: There is nothing unique about the name of this luxury

liner however, the 400-feet long Superyacht A does boast an original design.

Nirav Modi launched its flagship boutique in Mumbai’s iconic and resplendent art district of Kala Ghoda this evening. The Mumbai boutique is NIRAV MODI’s second in the country and is a fitting addition to the neighborhood given the brand’s close ties to art and design, whether it is drawing inspiration from different schools of Art or the stunning design of the boutique itself.

Laid out over 3 levels, the NIRAV MODI Mumbai Boutique captures and enhances the preciousness of the jewels and their detailed craftsmanship. Designed with custom furniture, all set in a luxe ambience, the Mumbai Boutique is truly a unique experience for the visitor.

On the occasion of the launch, the NIRAV MODI Mumbai Boutique was wrapped like an enormous gift box with a large ribbon bow on the façade. With hundreds of shimmering lanterns, the outside of the store looked just as striking as the interiors.

Inside, a live installation of models wearing stunning jewels from NIRAV MODI collections ranging from their Lotus Collection, to the Luminance Collection and more impressed the guests. The décor featured fresh flowers and candles, which beautifully set the right mood for the glamorous evening.

The scintillating launch event saw a mix of the city’s jewellery and luxury lovers walk down the red carpet and congratulate Mr. Nirav Modi on this milestone for his brand and also to admire the beauty of the jewels on display and the store itself, which has been designed by acclaimed Spanish interior designer Jaime Hayon.

CFDA Fashion Awards 2015 It may have been a long night, but the CFDA Fashion Awards, held as usual at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, weren’t boring. James Corden, of The Late Late Show fame and the evening’s first-time host, started things off by lampooning the industry to the tune of “to dream ‘The Impossible Dream,’” and got progressively more fearless as his bit went on, sticking it to Terry Richardson, who wasn’t in the audience to defend himself, and Kanye West, who was.

“Kim and Kanye are both presenting this evening,” Corden said. “I should warn you that Kanye is going to interrupt both speeches to say that Beyoncé should have won them.”

West made no interruptions, but he did deliver one of his trademark soliloquies when it came time to introduce this year’s Fashion Icon, Pharrell Williams, near the end of the ceremony. “What’s up, CFDA? You know how [President] Obama brought out the angrier version of himself? I’m sort of like the angrier version of Pharrell.” After rapping the opening lines of “New Slaves,” he took the crowd to task for “completely destroying” his first collection, which, he reminded the audience, sold out-$6,000 shoes included. When he eventually did wind around to the subject of Williams, West said, “there would be no me, no A$AP [Rocky], without Pharrell being the nicer version of Obama.” Williams, displaying his own trademark niceness, had kind words for everyone from his jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to “the genius” Rei Kawakubo.

In between, Chelsea Clinton took to the stage for a remembrance of Oscar de la Renta; the Italian actress Valeria Golino paid tribute to the Italian designers and International Award winners Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli of Valentino; and Kelly Osbourne made an endearing speech about Betsey Johnson, the evening’s Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award winner. Yes, Johnson is 72 (she’s got two years on J.Crew’s Mickey Drexler, who picked up the Founder’s Award). And yes, she did do a cartwheel into a perfect split, jostling loose a few crystals from her bib necklace, before accepting her statuette.

To cap off the evening’s allstar lineup, The Row’s Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen accepted the Womenswear Designer of the Year prize, beating out Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, the Proenza Schouler duo, and Joseph Altuzarra. It fact, it was a good night for women designers, celebrity and otherwise, with Tabitha Simmons winning the Accessories Designer of the Year Award, and Rosie Assoulin and Mansur Gavriel’s Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel taking home the Swarovski prizes for womenswear and accessories, respectively. On the guys’ side of things, Swarovski winner Shayne Oliver of Hood by Air had almost as many letters stenciled on the back of his head-HBA-as he uttered words on stage. Tom Ford, who received the menswear award, and is a little more practiced at these things, remembered his 15 minutes at this venue last year. “I’m so glad to know that there is life after the Lifetime Achievement Award.”

We couldn’t leave out fashion’s favorite social media app. Picking up the Media Award and giving a shoutout to Kim Kardashian West (34.8m followers), Kevin Systrom (1.1m) said, “I may be the CEO, but Kim, you are the queen of Instagram.”
