3. I have really thin shoulders. Are shoulder pads really out? - MEENAL ARORA, MUMBAI

Sonam: According to me shoulder pads are never out, eighties and nineties fashion is still going strong. I face the same problem thus i always wear strong shouldered clothes or i show off my collar bone.

4. How can I tell if I have paid way too much for a designer label? Which Indian Designers would you reccomend for western wear? - Sonia Chopra, Delhi

5. So I have to meet this guy my parents have fixed up for me to meet. I am meeting him for breakfast. What do I wear? - SUPRIYA PAI, BANGLORE

Sonam: A nice knee length sundress, which cinches at the waist, a matching cardigan and sandals.

6. I have a really broad jawline. how can I fix it with make-up? - Manju. S, Pune

Sonam: The answer is shading under your jawline and using blush on the apples of your cheeks instead of your cheek bones.
