Candice Swanepoel for Agua de Coco SS 2013 Campaign

Candice Swanepoel heats up the Turkish scenery in the new Agua de Coco spring/summer 2013 ad campaign. Take a peek at a few hot swimwear choices for the next year.

We know the rainy season is almost here, but we can always appreciate a fab set of swimsuits that inevitably make us think about the most relaxing days of the year, especially if the model, presenting the newest trends in the matter happens to be Candice Swanepoel. The VS beauty teamed up with Brazilian label Agua de Coco to show off some fabulous alternatives for the next hot seasons. She heats up the southern Turkish landscape in a series of sizzling hot swimsuit styles.

The next year will definitely revolve around sophistication with a fun vibe and diversity will certainly be celebrated. The spring/summer 2013 creations are meant to be represent 'Turkish Portrait' which explains the location choice. As for the new season go-to styles, the brand isn't going on a one-style-fits-all route. Instead, it offers everything from single-piece suits to monokinis, two-piece suits with high-waisted bottoms, bandeau styles and a variety of other pieces such as body suits and fun cover-ups.

From saturated colors to to eclectic prints like fish motifs, the fish itself is only a part of the story as accessorizing plays a big role in making these goodies stand out. Statement golden pieces, whether we are talking about bold cuffs, statement earrings or layered bracelets go a long way when it comes to creating a sophisticated allure that inevitably turn heads. And, we can't deny, a hefty dose of confidence like Candice is portraying in every single photo is also extremely important for an overall gorgeous look.

Fashion winners and sinners: Show-stoppers at India International Jewellery Week 2012 a mixed bag of stunners and bummers

The bevy of beauty queens and Bollywood goddesses that took to the ramp at the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW) 2012 admittedly lent a generous dose of glimmer to the sparklers on display.
But at the same time, the event also served to prove that one needs more than just a famous show-stopper for the designs to leave an impression.

We take a look at the glamorous women who played show-stoppers at the glittering IIJW that concluded on Thursday - some of them drop-dead gorgeous, others dismally way off the mark.

Sushmita Sen

Walking the runway for Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas, the former Miss Universe looked stunning in a black high-slit skirt, with the motif necklace from the designer's Aranya collection complementing her to the tee.

Juhi Chawla

The charming actor was the show-stopper for Kays Jewels. While the jewellery itself was striking, it looked dull paired with the boring black lehenga.

Sonali Bendre

The female equivalent of fine wine, the 37-year-old displayed jewellery for Laksh Pahuja and Anand Shah, looking gorgeous in a black gown paired with a vibrant necklace and cuff.

Neha Dhupia

Closing the show for Gitanjali Jewels, Dhupia sashayed down the runway in a Nishka Lulla creation paired with strings of polki. Her minimal look was refreshing.

Bipasha Basu

Wearing a black and gold lehenga, Bipasha took to the ramp for Nakshatra by Gitanjali. The over-dramatic make-up and diamond jewellery were a complete let-down.

Yami Gautam

Making her runway debut for D. Navinchandra, Yami didn't look particularly striking, thanks to the ill-fitted black and pink lehenga and the tacky floral jewellery.

Heating up New Jersey! Real Housewives star Melissa Gorga shows off her trim and toned bikini body

With the weather heating up Melissa Gorga has been making the most of her free time in between filming for The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

The reality star stripped down to her bikini to pose for a sexy photo shoot as she celebrated her wedding anniversary earlier this week.
The 33-year-old showed off her trim and toned body in a white halterneck bikini with black detailing.

Melissa, who is currently filming the fourth season of the Bravo show, happily tossed her voluminous brown locks as she expertly worked the camera while smiling away.
It’s no wonder the aspiring singer looked so comfortable because the photos were taken in the garden of her New Jersey home.
She shares the luxurious property with husband Joe Gorga and their three children: Antonia, Gino and Joey.
Sending temperatures soaring: The mother-of-three displayed her enviable toned figure in the stylish two-piece

Six-year-old Antonia even got involved in the shoot and joined her mother for a few photos.
Melissa scooped the youngster into her arms and the duo showed their close bond as Antonia planted a kiss on her mother’s cheek.
The photos were taken on Monday, the same day that Melissa celebrated eight years of marriage to Joe.

That day Melissa posted on her Twitter page: ‘Today is my 8 year wedding anniversary to the love of my life @joegorga Thank you for giving me this family. We are blessed. #thankyoujesus’
But her beau was less eloquent with his own reference to the special day, tweeting: ‘Holly sh** it's my Anniversary! [sic]’ to which Melissa replied ‘I see this tweet!!’

Fash spell back with a bang: Swish and stylish set in Mumbai

Fashion season in the country kick-started with Lakme Fashion Week's celebratory bash in Mumbai on Thursday night.
Designers, models, photographers and members of the fashion fraternity have made their way to Mumbai to attend the feted five-day event.
Thursday evening saw the swish set get together at F Lounge and Bar for a night of fun and festivity. Come Friday morning, it was back to business at fashion week.


The event opened with the popular Gen Next show that featured new and upcoming faces in the world of fashion. The line-up included aspiring debutant designers Asa Kazingmei, Kavita Sharma, Aniket Satam, Richa Agarwal, Mehak Pruthi, Kanika Seth, Ankit Sharma and Sneha Arora.
As expected, the show had a combination of quirky garments, innovative designs and ethnic influences. The various themes ranged from 'Avatars' to 'Immortals', from 'earthy' to 'rebirth', from 'intellectual' to 'apocalypse.' Avant garde designs, idiosyncratic outfits, tribal prints, homage to traditional wear, simple silhouettes to constructed creations, neon colours and digital prints - all had a spot on the runway.


Next with her debut solo show at the event was Delhibased designer Pia Pauro. The young and feminine collection titled 'Espiritu de Mexico,' celebrated the spirit of Mexico with a showcase of colourful and fun ensembles that had an air of merry making and a carefree Acapulco vibe. Reminiscent of 1970's glamour, the chic and sexy outfits were tailor-made for the party girl who knows how to let her hair loose and have a good time.

From shimmering jumpsuits to figure-hugging dresses, the flirtatious line featured exotic prints inspired by beaches of Tulum and the rainforests. With actress Monica Dogra closing her show, Pauro also set the 'celebrity showstopper' trend in motion.


Designer Nandita Thirani offset Pauro's collection with a presentation of her traditional wear and feminine ready-to-wear collection. Anarkali suits, Maharaja coats, saris and dhoti pants were crafted in a colour palette dominated by shades of wine and creams
