DOPE: "Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam" from "Duplicate" (1998)


This week's DOPE selection comes from a new favorite Hindi film of mine. It's not a sweeping costume epic, but its a lighthearted action comedy which fabulous music like today's song. This song and dance routine is one that I love so much that I'd love to recreate it at my wedding one day in the future!

With lyrics courtesy of BollyWHAT.com, I hope you all will enjoy "Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam".

Wanna Wanna Wednesdays: Simply Be's Jeffrey & Paula Spot Blouse


I recently saw a fabulous photo of a woman rocking a red romper along with a red lip, and I immediately thought to myself, "I need to rock something similar!!!", and like magic I spotted this week's Wanna Wanna Wednesday item.

This gorgeous blouse ($50.00, SimplyBe) would look fabulous with a pair of jeans and sandals!! How would you rock this blouse?!?!?
