5 Times Mindy Kaling Impressed Us With Her Outfits | Style Files
Dr. L aka Mindy Lahiri aka Mindy Kaling is my spirit animal. I just know it! And she has been making a whole bunch of heads turn with, not just her recently published “Why Not Me?”, but also her fabulous outfits! If you watch her show (YOU MUST!), you will know that Kaling is all about mixing prints with prints, neon hues, the blings and all that jazz. And she sticks to this image even she is not Dr. L. Here is my feeble attempt to list out five of her “OMG, I want this” outfits.
When she pretended to wear a one piece
At the Cannes premiere of Inside Out (she was the voice actress for Disgust), Kaling wore, what looked like a one piece gown, a two piece outfit designed by her favorite Salvador Perez. I am not sure what I loved more, the bright colors or the general idea of the outfit!
When she channelled her inner desi girl
For the PaleyFest, Mindy went all Indian with the ethnic Persian blue and gold kurta with a front slit, blue churidaar and a slight dull gold pair of heels. The outfit was from Frontier Heritage and is on my list of outfits for the next Indian (or non-Indian) festival I attend.
When she toned it down
Kaling is usually in the brightest of them all. But that doesn’t mean that she can’t do them dull colours. This Tory Burch outfit is so cute. The printed blouse, suede skirt and boots, not to mention that perfect red lip are so ideal for a sunday brunch situation!

When she went all pink
This was, by far, one of my favourite Mindy Project outfits. Look at all that pink! It was a very classic look, the coat, printed dress and satchel. Only Mindy can wear all that pink and not resemble cotton candy.
When she...who am I kidding, just look at this outift!
Do I really have to spell out why I want to steal this from her?!!!!!!

Five Global Fall Trends That We Love | Fall / Winter 2015
Here’s the deal - I (Ishani Chatterji) currently live in New York and Fall here is an absolutely different ball game, compared to what it is in Mumbai. Out here, fall is about apple picking, walking through Central Park to watch the leaves change colors and drinking gallons of Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks. In Mumbai, fall falls (see what I did there!) around the same time that Mumbaikars experience their second summer along with the splurge of festivities that require them to look like palettes of colours at most times. Having said all of that, Fall is my favourite time of the year in The Big Apple. So I am going to try and put together a quick five “worldly” set of Fall trends for 2015 (and for those in India, you can take it as a guide to look smokin' hot this festive season).
Black IS the new black
The New York Fashion Week saw multiple designers take the “all black or nothing” route this fall. Gothic like outfits combined with sheers, lace and the works were a big hit. Among my favourites were Alexander Wang, Calvin Klein and Coach who did a perfect potpourri of skirts, bling and leather.

Mosaic Moods
It’s raining colourful mosaics all over the place. From the conventional fit and flare maxi dress to the jumpsuit and fur coat, Fall is a “mosaic” affair this year. Colours ranged from muted shades, pastels like peach and even warmer hues like wine. The trend was widely seen at the Salvatore Ferragamo showcase.

Charming Victorians
Who doesn’t love a good ruffle and a high neckline? Add a bit of aristocracy air and you could just be out of a Jane Austen. Grand gown-like lacy gestures, elegant peaches and whites with just the right amount of black, a whole new Victorian era was created on the ramps.

Looking East
This happened to be one of my favourite trends. Motifs of the fiery dragon by Valentino, Louis Vuitton’s modern dress with the eastern lines and Michael Kors' shiny blingy gold numbers, the East is taking over.

Keep it short
Women are getting comfortable with the raised hemline. Duh, we love our legs! Designers all over are embracing and empowering the mini in blacks, patchworks, warmer hues, eastern motifs and everything under the sun. Love thy body!
