What's Buzzing

We round up 5 trends this fortnight that are either making the right noises or dying a slow death

Trends That are making the right noise

1. Boob Towel

First it was the hair towel, now it is the boob towel. Women, it’s time to feel liberated as you can hold it all together in a boob towel without the feeling the nightmare of underwires stabbing the life out of you. US-based Erin Robinson is behind this unique invention which is described as a perfect ‘lounge-around-at-home’ summer bralette that soaks up all the under boob sweat and keeps you feather light. Will it be a fashion staple, will we see the ‘Kim Kardarshians’ of the world wearing it? Well, time will tell but at the moment it indeed is making a lot of noise.

2. Wine Handbag

As the name suggests, it is a handbag with a compartment for wine. So think of it as a mobile wine dispenser but disguised in a ladies handbag. There is a hidden tap and a secret compartment for holding a bottle or two of wine. The concept isn’t new but some upgrades and a new launch by an Australian handbag company has made quite a buzz in the market. So now when you step out with a fashionable bag, besides your essentials like keys, wallet and make-up you can also carry some wine for a night out.

3. Book Case Laptop Cover

Is it a book or a laptop? There is a new laptop case in the market that makes you not only look scholarly holding an old library book but could also potentially help in reducing laptop thefts. When enclosed in the cover, your laptop is disguised as a vintage leather book and keeps the ‘peeping toms’ away!

Trends That are Dying a Slow Death

1. Jab Harry Met Sejal

How pumped up were all of you all when you saw the teaser of ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. Imtiaz Ali, Shahrukh Khan, Anushka Sharma; the cocktail couldn’t get any more lethal. The songs, the dialogues, the movie clips were everywhere on the social media. But the movie sank at the box office like the Titanic! I know it’s an old proverb, but we couldn’t find anything more fitting than the fate of the two. Shah Rukh Khan has moved on and so have the other two, time you give up on trashing and criticizing the movie that was and look at greener pastures.

2. Sharpie Eyebrows

We also call it the ‘caterpillar brows’. Eyebrows that are filled in so much that they end up looking like two blocks of bricks parched high above your eyes. Thick eyebrows look great and frame the face but overdrawing them only makes you look like a scientifically-generated clone experiment that went horribly wrong! The proverbial ‘Less is more’ couldn’t be truer in this case.
