Stylish Spring Fashion Trends…

Spring Fashion Trends are something to look forward to after the dreary winter. When we look at spring fashion trends, they are mostly uplifting and fun. In 2012 we’ll see a mix of both the old and new. Last year’s neon and pastel trends will be reinvented, and futuristic silhouettes will be making an appearance. The following are a few spring fashion trends to keep an eye on.

FUTURISTIC

Technology is a big part of our lives these days, and now it is about to become a big part of our wardrobes as well. Anything with a futuristic vibe this spring will be extremely on-trend. Choose clothes with matte metallic finishes or fabric with a slight shimmer. When it comes to futuristic spring fashion trends, look for clothes with slightly more angular silhouettes.

ASYMMETRIC HEMLINES

A graduated hemline will be your ticket into the style stakes this spring. Whether your hem is shorter at the front and longer at the back or longer to one side, just make sure it is asymmetric. This trend is not really that feasible in winter, but when spring hits get ready to show some leg with an asymmetric hemline.

OCEANIC

When deciding on your spring color palette, look to the ocean for inspiration. Aqua, topaz, and azure shades are where it is at. Flowing fabrics are perfect for this spring fashion trend as well. Additionally, channel a mermaid and look for clothes with pearl or sequin embellishments anything that slightly resembles scales.

JUNGLE PRINTS

Take a walk on the wild side and pick up a piece of jungle print this spring. Look for tropical prints with larger than life motifs. Lush greens and vibrant red and blue hues are where it is at. However, be sure to stay clear of anything resembling a Hawaiian shirt. Add a bit of animal print in the form of accessories to complete the jungle vibe.

CUTOUTS

Cutouts are going to be bigger than ever this spring. It is not about the obvious cutouts though this season is a bit more demure, a bit more peek-a-boo. Laser cut leather garments are a contemporary choice and are a tougher take on this spring fashion trend. Layer a cutout piece over another garment for a less revealing take on the trend.

PRINTED JACKETS

A statement jacket will be the hero piece of your wardrobe this spring. The desired shape is the bomber jacket, in a lightweight fabric and sporty cut. When it comes to spring fashion trends, the printed jacket is all about excess. The bolder the pattern, the better!

FADED NEONS

Faded neon colors are the key to your spring wardrobe. Not quite pastel and not quite neon, these hues are somewhere in between. For this spring fashion trend, stick to lemon, peach, mint, and watermelon shades. A faded neon shirt tucked into bleached denim shorts is one way of creating the perfect sun-kissed look.

Spring fashion trends for this year seem to gravitate around bold, experimental looks. It is definitely not a time to be shying away from the limelight. However, you can easily incorporate these spring fashion trends into your everyday look simply with the help of a few accessories. What are your hot tips for spring fashion trends?

Scrape off the dry Mehendi and do not wash it with water for atleast 24 hours, to ensure maximum colour.
Apply a mixture of lemon and sugar, atleast twice, to the dry area.
After the tattoos are dried completely get some steam passing through cloves over the gas and apply Vicks for a good darkened color.
When the Mehendi starts fading and appears patchy, it can be removed by applying cosmetic body bleach.

You Must Not Do..

After the tattoos are applied avoid washing the area with soap or water
Avoid staying close to the air conditioner as it dries up the mehendi.

Mehndi (Henna)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 16:38:00 +0500

Mehndi (Henna)

Mehndi is the application of henna as a temporary form of skin decoration in the Pakistan Subcontinent, as well as by expatriate communities from these areas. Mehndi decorations became fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they are sometimes called henna tattoos. Henna is typically applied during special occasions like weddings and festivals like Eid, Diwali, Bhaidooj and Teej. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of Mehndi. Mehndi was originally used as a form of decoration mainly for brides.

In the modern age usually people buy readymade Mehndi cones, which are ready to use and make painting easy. But in rural areas in India women grind fresh henna leaves on sil (grinding stone) with added oil, which though not as refined as professionally prepared henna cones, brings much darker colors.

The term henna tattoo is inaccurate, because tattoos are defined as permanent surgical insertion of pigments underneath the skin, as opposed to pigments resting on the surface as is the case with mehndi.

Likely due to the desire for a "tattoo-black" appearance, many people have started adding the synthetic dye p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) to henna to give it a black colour. PPD is extremely harmful to the skin and can cause severe allergic reactions resulting in permanent injury or death. Alata (Mahur) is a flower-based dye used to paint the feet of the brides in some regions of India. It is still used in Bengal.

Popular brands of Mehndi include Karachi, Pakeezah, Golden, Dulhan, Zoom Golden, Baybe, and Kewlarinova.

Tradition

Mehndi decoration of palms and feet of a bride

There is evidence that Mehndi as a ceremonial art form originated in ancient Subcontinent. Intricate patterns of Mehndi are typically applied to brides before wedding ceremonies. The bridegroom is also painted in some parts of Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sudan. Apart from marriage, it is also broadly used by unmarried women too .

The use of Mehndi and henna by Prophet Muhammad ensured its place in history and its popularity and acceptance among Muslims. In Arabic speaking countries such as Morocco, and some other countries in Central Asia, it is applied on any special occasion. It is done during the seventh month of pregnancy, after having the baby, weddings, engagements, family get-togethers, diwali, as well as on other occasions.

The fashion of "Bridal Mehndi" in Pakistan, Northern Libya and in North Indian diasporas is currently growing in complexity and elaboration, with new innovations in glitter, gilding, and fine-line work. Recent technological innovations in grinding, sifting, temperature control, and packaging Mehndi, as well as government encouragement for henna cultivation, have improved dye content and artistic potential for Mehndi.

Traditions of Mehndi as body art.

The different words for Mehndi (Henna) in ancient languages imply that it had more than one point of discovery and origin, as well as different pathways of daily and ceremonial use.

Mehndi (Henna) has been used to adorn young women's bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean. The earliest text mentioning henna in the context of marriage and fertility celebrations comes from the Ugaritic legend of Baal and Anath, which has references to women marking themselves with Mehndi (Henna) in preparation to meet their husbands, and Anath adorning herself with Mehndi (Henna) to celebrate a victory over the enemies of Baal. Wall paintings excavated at Akrotiri (dating prior to the eruption of Thera in 1680 BCE) show women with markings consistent with Mehndi (Henna) on their nails, palms and soles, in a tableau consistent with the Mehndi (Henna) bridal description from Ugarit. Many statuettes of young women dating between 1500 and 500 BCE along the Mediterranean coastline have raised hands with markings consistent with Mehndi (Henna).This early connection between young, fertile women and Mehndi (Henna) seems to be the origin of the Night of the Henna, which is now celebrated worldwide.

The Night of the Mehndi (Henna) was celebrated by most groups in the areas where Mehndi (Henna) grew naturally: Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians, among others, all celebrated marriages by adorning the bride, and often the groom, with Mehndi (Henna).

Process

Application of the Mehndi paste.

Mehndi paste is usually applied on the skin using a plastic cone or a paint brush, but sometimes a small metal-tipped jacquard bottle used for silk painting (a jac bottle) is employed. The painted area is then wrapped with tissue, plastic, or medical tape to lock in body heat, creating a more intense colour on the skin. The wrap is worn three to six hours, or sometimes overnight and then removed. When first removed, the Mehndi design is pale to dark orange in colour and gradually darkens through oxidation, over the course of 24 to 72 hours. The final colour is reddish brown and can last anywhere from one to three weeks depending on the quality and type of Mehndi paste applied, as well as where it was applied on the body (thicker skin stains darker and longer than thin skin).

Bridal Mehendi , Mehendi Designs for Brides Hands, Dulhan Mehendi Designs.

A Bride (Dulhan) is a woman about to be married or newlywed.

The word may come from the Teutonic word for "cooking". In Western culture, a bride may be attended by one or more bridesmaids or maids of honor.

The term bride appears in combination with many words, some of them obsolete. Thus "bridegroom" is the newly married man, and "bride-bell," "bride-banquet" are old equivalents of wedding-bells, wedding-breakfast. "Bridal" (from Bride-ale), originally the wedding-feast itself, has grown into a general descriptive adjective, the bridal ceremony. The bride-cake had its origin in the Roman confarreatio, a form of marriage, the essential features of which were the eating by the couple of a cake made of salt, water and spelt flour, and the holding by the bride of three wheat-ears, a symbol of plenty.
