fwd life Happy Birthday Aishwarya

Believe it or not, this timeless beauty turns 44 today

Text: Rochelle D’Souza

Beauty has long been associated with Greek Goddesses but that was until this day 44 years ago, for on that day the Indian subcontinent was bestowed with a Goddess of our own, and we named her Aishwarya!

We know that we just ended up sounding like a swooning school girl, but how can we not? Ash just turned 44 today – that’s right, and she doesn’t look a day over 28 – and while we are in awe of her beauty and everything she has achieved (and while we also want to crawl under a rock and die when we think about what we’d look like at her age). Here’s wishing this glamorous diva a very Happy Birthday! And while we’re at it, here’s a walk down Ash’s memory lane to see some of her iconic moments through history. Read and weep ladies, read and weep.

Ash’s journey into stardom began after she was crowned Miss India and then went on to leave the world head over heels in love with her after clinching the Miss World title in 1994.

Aishwarya graced the silver screen thereafter and one of her earliest hits was the movie Taal. Her dance routine in the film is still one that we remember and occasionally groove to.

She broke a million hearts (the collective sound of which would be heard at the farthest ends of the South Pole) when we revealed that she would be marrying into Bollywood’s first family, the Bachans. Mashallah, she and Abhishek have had a long and blissful marriage ever since.

Her portrayal of Jodha Bhai, though meant to be overshadowed by Hrithik’s performance, still captivates audiences today. Not only did she slay the ethnic look, but he haunting looks of sadness still give us the feels.

And as if she hasn’t achieved enough already, she is also the brand ambassador and the face for L’Oreal Paris. We can just hear her iconic rendition of the word ‘Because you’re worth it!’ in our ears as we see this.

Following a brief hiatus from cinema, she returned to the silver screens for a short cameo in Karan Johar’s Yeh Dil He Mushkil where she played the extremely wise and extremely desirable older woman who Ranbir romances. Honestly, we watched the movie just for a glimpse of her (and Fawad <3)

And while the rest of the world may think that by the time you hit 44 you ought to hide within you knitted cardigan and take up potting succulents in your free time Aishwarya Rai Bachan proves to them, that 44 is the new 24 and that you can slay at any age, as long as you have the attitude to go with it.

Creating a Cozy Living Room: Tips for Comfort and Style

Published

on

Your living room is more than just a space for entertaining; it’s a sanctuary where you unwind, relax, and spend quality time with loved ones. Creating a cozy living room involves a blend of comfort and style that makes the space inviting and functional. Here are some tips to help you achieve that perfect balance:

Choose the Right Furniture

Start with furniture that combines comfort and functionality. Opt for a plush sofa with deep cushions, perfect for lounging. Consider adding a cozy armchair or a recliner for additional seating. Make sure the furniture arrangement promotes conversation and allows for easy movement throughout the room.

Layer Your Lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood. Use a mix of lighting sources to create a warm ambiance. Combine overhead lights with floor lamps, table lamps, and wall sconces. For added coziness, incorporate dimmers or smart bulbs that let you adjust the brightness to suit different times of day and activities.

Add Textures with Throws and Pillows

Textures are key to a cozy living room. Layer different fabrics, such as soft throw blankets, plush pillows, and textured rugs. Choose fabrics like wool, velvet, and cotton that add warmth and comfort. Mix and match patterns and colors to create visual interest and a personalized touch.

Incorporate Warm Colors

Color influences the feel of a room. Opt for warm, neutral tones like beige, taupe, or soft gray for a calming effect. Accents in rich colors like deep blues, earthy greens, or warm terracotta can add depth and coziness. Use these colors in your furniture, accessories, and wall decor.

Use Rugs to Define Spaces

Rugs can help define different areas within a living room and add a layer of warmth underfoot. Choose a rug that complements your furniture and adds softness to the space. A large area rug can anchor the room, while smaller rugs can be used to highlight specific areas, like a reading nook or conversation zone.

 Incorporate Natural Elements

Bring the outdoors in by incorporating natural elements. Plants not only add a touch of greenery but also improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants if you’re not an avid gardener. Wooden furniture or decor pieces can also add a natural, grounded feel to the room.

Personalize with Artwork and Décor

Add personality to your living room with artwork and decorative items that reflect your style. Choose pieces that resonate with you, whether it’s family photos, abstract art, or vintage finds. Arrange decor items in groups to create visual interest and avoid clutter.

Create a Focal Point

A focal point helps draw the eye and creates a sense of balance in the room. This could be a fireplace, a statement piece of art, or a stylish coffee table. Arrange your furniture and decor around this focal point to enhance the room’s overall cohesion and appeal.

Invest in Quality Window Treatments

Window treatments can impact both the look and feel of your living room. Opt for curtains or blinds that provide privacy while allowing natural light to filter through. Choose fabrics that complement your decor and add texture, such as linen or velvet.

Add Personal Touches

Finally, make the space truly yours by adding personal touches. Incorporate items that have sentimental value or reflect your interests and hobbies. Whether it’s a collection of travel souvenirs, a beloved quilt, or unique decorative objects, these elements will make your living room feel more inviting and personal.

By thoughtfully combining these elements, you can create a cozy living room that serves as a comfortable retreat and a stylish gathering place for friends and family. Enjoy the process of making your space uniquely yours and revel in the comfort and warmth it provides.

JLO’s Bridgerton Themed Birthday Bash

Published

on

There are two types of diamonds in the Bridgerton universe: the diamond of the season and the queen who selects it. Without a doubt, Jennifer Lopez belongs to the latter group.

JLO brought Bridgerton to life this past weekend in the Hamptons, where she threw an amazing event to celebrate turning 55. The celebration featured a live orchestra and a horse-drawn carriage, among other features more commonly found at social gatherings in the early 1800s. Naturally, Lady Whistletown was not prepared for the glitzy Regency-era attire either. 

In her first ensemble designed by Manish Malhotra, she looked downright royal in a stunning light blue ball gown with a bodice piece that had off-the-shoulder cuffs and gilded diamond-shaped embroidery. The gown was worn over a full skirt that was embroidered with larger-than-life gold floral motifs.

Lopez wore few accessories and let the dress do the talking because of how grand the ensemble was. She chose stud earrings, a basic pendant necklace, and sheer white opera gloves. She had a gold laurel crown in her hair.

Jennifer transformed into something a bit more fluid later in the evening, which made it easier for her to move around the dance floor and interact with other attendees. This second dress was a gauzy moss-green number with a sequined floral bust, and it too had an off-the-shoulder neckline.
