Karishma Sharma declares her fashion mantra to be: No guts, no glory.
And along that bold path she merrily travels, soaring along her own style arc, staying away, she says, from being a Barbie girl but finding togs that electrify a party, jolt it alive.
The actor-model, who starred in Ragini MMS Returns and Pyaar Ka Punchnama, has also a new-found love for Indian ethnic wear that is collecting the pyaar of her followers.

A tanglement of straps create a dress that's a different kind of crossover fashion.
Another of her fave sayings, or maybe motto: Half saint, half sinner, face of an angel, mind of a killer.

Or they would have been transfixed by Karishma twirling in a saccharine strappy white dress and jazzy purple heels on a balcony at Nashik's Soma Wines.

Don't miss the fashion chashma and the tiny coy little braids in her hair.
She relaxes on a yacht somewhere in Seychelles no doubt making the hills and ocean around her sing.

Pretty Woman, the kind I like to meet...
Istanbul meet bouncy, bubbly Karishma.
A pair of elegant checked trousers make great vacation wear.

Garba season is a still a way off, but Navratri attire, given a fresh take with a cherry red tube top, is good enought to wear to a ball, the Ascot or a big, fat shaadi.

Her finishing touches? A golden handbag and snake-skin boots.
Fastey Fasaatey?
