Video Transcript
Sonam Kapoor: Hi this is Sonam Kapoor…
Rhea Kapoor: …and this is Rhea Kapoor, and we were asked to say we are BandraRoad girls, we really like BandraRoad as a blog but we’re not Bandra girls we’re Juhu girls! *giggles*
SK: BandraRoad!
BandraRoad: What’s your favourite place to street shop?
RK: Um… New York.
SK: But the kolhapuri chappals in Bombay are the bomb!
RK: Also the flea market in the Rose Bowl is amazing in LA.
SK: Rhea we’re talking about India!
BR: No we’re not! BandraRoad is everywhere!!!
SK: Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn’t know that! I love shopping on the street in London as well. So if you go to like Gray’s Market… and if you got to any of the… you know they have these beautiful stalls they put up sometimes. Notting Hill and stuff like that they have all these beautiful street vendors that are there. And you get like some of the stuff and the next week you go, like if you keep something aside, that vendors not there anymore! And you’re like “where did that go? Where did it go!” So you get some great stuff on the streets, around everywhere.
BR: What’s your latest style fixation?
RK: The new thing that I really like, that I’m not doing today but, is layering necklaces! It’s my new thing! So I like putting a lot of delicate pieces with harder pieces, more like statement like pieces, I feel like it gives a feminine sort of edge! So that’s something I’ve been incorporating a lot. Plus I’m really into wearing jewellery in places which you don’t expect and that’s a very sort of street style influenced thing! So I’m going to be trying that out.
BR: Tell us about the places to shop in Cannes?
RK: Cannes is the most amazing shopping because everyone knows the world descends there, so they make sure that every collection possible of that designer is there. Like things you’ve not been able to find…
SK: You go to the store and the things that you find there! There are certain things that are sold out everywhere, you find them in Cannes, at those designers. It is the most incredible thing. You feel like you’re in the mecca of fashion!
RK: It’s beautiful…
SK: It’s amazing!
RK: But we have no time.
SK: Yeah, we have no time!
BR: What’s your current street style statement?
SK: I have these kolhapuri heels that my sister hates! But I love wearing them…
RK: I don’t hate them!
SK: You like my kolhapuri heels?!
RK: Yeah but not with everything.
SK: *giggles* I wear them with everything!
RK: I like the heels, just not the combinations.
SK: They’re kolhapuri chappals with wedges on them and I saw an aunty wearing them!
RK: Aunties are cool.
SK: Aunties are cool! And I was like “ok, I need to have them, because they look very comfortable.”
RK: My last street purchase was… I really love me a pair of cheap sunglasses! Because I feel like you end up sitting on every pair of sunglasses that you own so…
SK: You don’t have any cheap sunglass though!
RK: Yeah because I lose all of them! That’s the point, they’re like easily lose-able, like $4 sunglasses, $5 sunglasses, those are my favourite purchases. Plus they’re very like “trend conscious” when it comes to you know, high street brands. Or even stuff that sells on the street. So you get stuff that’s very current and then you don’t feel guilty about destroying it, which you do…
