Back in 2008, Shah Rukh Khan was named one of the 50 most powerful people in the world. In 2011, the Los Angeles Times called him “the world’s biggest movie star.” And this year, Khan not only celebrated his 48th birthday but also welcomed a third child with his wife, Gauri Khan. Suffice to say, Khan’s been having a lot of success thrown his way.

Love from Fans

With his birthday came tons of well wishes from fans. Khan tweeted at his followers, “The mark of one born with noble qualities is being born without envy. – Francois. Now becos of ur lov I envy no one. Thanx all for ennobling me [sic].”

Khan is currently filming a movie “Happy New Year,” and the director Abhishek Bachchan as well as Rarah Khan wished the actor well on his big day. Farah posted a photo, saying, “Happy Birthday to my wiser, richer, and ‘older-than-me’ friend!”

A Most Prolific Bollywood King

Khan has been involved in more than 75 movies, and shows no sign of slowing down. On his birthday, fans even gathered at the doorsteps of his own home to light fireworks for the celebration. Khan said of the celebrations, “Thank u everyone. All who came outside the house with crackers and posters. Love to u all & apologies to the neighbors. Ur love makes me happy.” Khan also enjoyed having several hashtags dedicated to him on his birthday–#SRKDay, #SRKsBirthdayCelebrations, and #BirthdayOfBaadshah Khan were all the place to find birthday wishes to the star.

In recent photos of Khan, he can be seen sporting sleek black suits as well as other traditional Indian clothing, but no matter what he wears, his adoring fans will surely be true to the end. He is even involved in a somewhat playful feud with Salman Khan (no relation) over whether actress Deepika Padukone will star in her next film opposite Shah Rukh or Salman. Though she has starred with Shah Rukh before, she has said she wuld love to do a film with the ‘other’ Khan. We’ll have to wait to see if that all pans out, but we’ll keep you updated!

Find a Great Formal Purse for Fall

December 2nd, 2013

Fall has arrived, and with it a new season of fashion trends you’ll love keeping up with.  From small clutches and wristlets to bigger , carryall tote bags, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for these hot trends in the purse world.  Here are this fall’s biggest fashion trends for formal purses.

1) Beading
Beading and sequins are always in style when it comes to formalwear. The flashier the better, some say! That being said, it’s no surprise that once again, it’s a hot fall trend for formal purses. Sequins and beading catch the light and literally make you look like you’re sparkling, and they’re the perfect accent to nearly any evening gown, especially simpler ones without a lot of details. If you’re already wearing a glitzy, elaborate dress, you can still use beading for your purse, but try to make it a solid color that accents the already-stunning gown.

2) Large Clasps
Bold clasps on clutches and wristlets are a great addition. Think of it as jewelry for your purse! When a bag has a large clasp, the eye is drawn to it, and typically when bags have this feature, the clasp is something beautiful like a large rhinestone or polished stone.  This is a chance fore designers to add something onto an otherwise plain-looking clutch. They also make opening a purse easier, but as we all know, purses are not necessarily always function. They are, however, always for fashion, and with a large, statement-esque clasp, you’ll be totally en vogue.

3) Bright Accents on Neutral Purses

One other trend for formal purses is adding bright accents to neutral-toned purses. For instance, if a purse is a subdued taupe shade, adding a string of bright, jewel toned ribbon or a beaded sash across the front can really make it pop. This also makes the purse more versatile, as then it can go with more than just one outfit.
