Fashion faux pas
List of few fashion slip-ups you can avoid
*Being a fashion victim by blindly pursuing a fashion trend.
*Wearing mismatched colored underwear for transparent tops and blouses.
*Chipped nail polish on toe and finger nails.
*Undergarments peeping out.
*Unkempt feet with cracks and marks.
*Jarring lip colors contrasting a particular skin tone.
*Touching the hair and adjusting it every three seconds. Pull it back if it is uncomfortable but don’t keep touching it.
*Prints are great but not excessively.
*The biggest sin is to smell bad. Don’t step out smelling bad.
*Matching clothes is for kids and not for the fashion-conscious.
*Appling light, color foundation on dark skin tone and vice-versa and using excessive blush-on
*Gold is cool not when it is yellowy and glittery and in your face. Heavy gold jewellery is not elegant.

This time, it's cool, relaxed and something that doesn't hit you in the face.The nautical look is dominated by blue and white with a hint of red. And the anchor logo may or may not be there. a smart navy blue jacket can be teamed with white, and the best part is it won't go out of style over the years or even over the seasons. This shade of blue, which owes its existence to the color of the Royal Navy uniform, is the all-timetransitional and trans-seasonal color.White trousers can be paired with navy blue or striped white and blue T-shirts. For that extra zing, you can also add a kerchief around the neck or a red neckpiece. The wrap dress with salior knots and zigzags looks stylishandis a very feminine version of the nautical look. Accessorieslike charm bracelets andcharm necklaces with little anchors dangling are another pretty option. Thick chain necklaces are also a good option as they can be worn to work as well as for an evening out. Since this nautical looks suits everybody they don't end up looking like a fish out of the water.
Happy Easter!

Fertile women dress to impress, US study finds.
Women dress to impress when they are at their most fertile, US researchers said during there study which showed that sings of human ovulation may not be as mysterious as some scientist believe.A study of young college women showed they frequently wore more fashionable or flashier clothing and jewellery when they where ovulating, as assessed by a panel of men and women looking at their photographs.“They tent to put on skirts instead of pants, show more skin and generally dress more fashionably,” said Martie Haselton, a communication studies and psychology expert at the University of California, Los Angeles who led the study.Writing in the journal Hormones and Behavior, Haselton and colleagues said their finding disproved the conventional wisdom that women are unique among animals in concealing, even from themselves, when they are most fertile.Some animals release powerful scents when ready to mate, while others display skin color changes, but human ovulation is notoriously difficult to detect.Haselton team asked 30 university students to come for a test, without letting them know the nature of the experiment. The women came back several times over the course of the month and where photographed twice-once in their fertile phase. The faces in the photograph where blackened out. They used urine test to check fertility.The researchers asked 42 men and women, some older than the volunteers, to assess these photographs by asking, “In what photo is the person trying to look more attractive?” The judges chose the photographs taking during the women’s fertile phase 60 percent of the time, Haselton said.

The mole tells all
Almost everyone is born with them, some are even appealing, like a small and faint one near a women’s upper lips. Others are considered lucky, like if you have one in the palm of your hand, it could spell good fortune. But sometimes they are not so innocent and can sure stir up a lot of trouble.
Moles are like extra large freckles. Sometimes they can be brown, reddish brown or just a plain skin color. They can be flat or slightly raised. They can also vary in shape and size-from a millimeter in diameter to a size that is almost as big as a man’s palm. But, did you know they can change shape as years go by? That has the potential to be dangerous?
All the moles that will ever have are usually formed by the time you are 20-years-old.
Sometimes they appear after 20. “I had what I call, a shifting mole. One disappeared a year ago and another appeared few months ago to replace it, just a few millimeters to the right,” says Maya, a 24-year-old. When a mole appears, if it’s flat, there’s no reason to worry as long as it doesn’t grow big. But for moles that appear to grow quite rapidly within a few months, a dermatologist should be consulted.
According to dermatologist, David Paul, “Any mole that grows big, starts to itch, or a mole which becomes red, should be shown to a dermatologist. It could be malignant.”
Home remedies should never be tried. Only a doctor can give proper advice about treatment. And if the mole becomes nothing more than a cosmetic nuisance, you can always have it removed surgically.

Hot Chocolate
I have been mailed frequently asking to post articles related to cookery and since I didn’t have enough idea about cookery I decided to do a little research of my own and finally came with a general snack that is CHOCOLATE.
Meet Jean-Marc who is a French chef working in Singapore. He is a chocolate addict and consumes around 200mg of chocolate per day. According to him the real stuff (chocolate) has to melt in your mouth and should feel very fine and not sandy. Jean-Marc was at the Taj Coromandel’s Piano Lounge to share some tips on chocolate making and charmingly agreed to part with a couple of recipes. Recipes that don’t require a cauldron and fancy equipment, fortunately.
Original Hot Chocolate
Ingredients: Milk 500ml; Dark chocolate 125gm (60% cocoa)
Boil for 3-4 min and keep stirring on a low flame. Serve immediately. Try to use nice dark chocolate.
Spiced chocolate
Ingredients: Milk 500ml; Chocolate 125gms (60% sweet cocoa powder); Star anise 5; Cinnamon stick 1; Orange peel; Sugar 50gms
Boil everything for 2-3 min and simmer you can either drink it straight away (after straining) or refrigerate overnight with all the ingredients. For the latter, strain and serve cold with ice cubes.
Pairings: Milk chocolate goes best with hazelnuts and dark with sour fruits like passion fruit, ginger or berries. You can also savor a bit of chocolate with something headier: wine or espresso.

Get the Olsen’s style
Mary Kate and Ashley are some of the most admired and popular teen celebrities. While they’re known for being on TV and movies, the subject of their style has been the topic of discussion more so than the work they’ve done. They certainly have some of the best celebrity fashion sense we’ve seen in a long time. Check out this fashion styles of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.
School casuals: If there’s one thing to be said about the celebrity fashion style of Mary Kate and Ashley, it’s that they’re typical college students-casual, casual, casual! Baggy pants, t-shirts, and roomy bags.
Shopping chic: While shopping, Mary Kate and Ashley like to wear blazers, flats and Baggy jeans. In fact, Ashley was recently seen sporting one of the fall’s biggest shoe trends, moccasins.
Minimal glam: When Mary Kate and Ashley show up for runway shows, they keep the glam look to a minimum. A simple black dress, a fun cami and full skirt, mid height heels. The perfect balance between sophisticated and glamour.
Bag it: If nothing else, the Olsens are consistent. Regardless of what they’re wearing, they always have high end designer bags. Ashley’s most recent obsession is her sea foam Balenciaga bag.
Sunny Day: Another trademark Olsen look is big oversize sunglasses. While this is a trend that is very “love or hate”, Mary Kate is very often seen in oversize, circular lens sunglasses.

Keep it simple. The thing that makes them look so stylish is the fact that it seems to be effortless. Find your own variation of their style. While they may like the vintage casual style, find a way to make it work for you. Layer! A key in this look is layering pieces on top of each other. Camis, blazers, sweaters and shrugs.

Men’s world
It happens to every guy. One day, you catch a group of girls checking out this guy wearing a pink shirt. They throw him admiring glances, and you even catch a commend about how great he looks in it. So, you decide that if he can do it, you can too. You go out and buy yourself a pink shirt. The ladies don’t seem to notice you any more than they did before, and now you’re taking some ribbing from your buddies. Frustrated, you plunge back into your blacks, grays and navies.
Here’s our guide to choosing the colors that look good on you

Dark skin tone:
Dark-skinned men need to be slightly more careful than others. If you fall into this category, the colors that you wear should contrast with your dark features.
*Colors you look your best in:
Pink, white, khaki, baby blue, gray.
*Colors you should avoid:
