2012-11-01T06:52:00.001-07:00

SHIMMER IN LEATHER

Trend of sheen and shimmer was seen last year on the ramp and couture for summer styling… but it is this year that it would be visible more loudly in the market even in the winters…. Thus, if you have bought the shimmer do not hesitate to flaunt it….

A very fine development in this styling is shimmery leather… tanners have developed various colored thin foils or spray dust that are platted or sprayed on leather to give a shimmer on a high end product like leather…. Hence if you are lover of leather metallic leather would defiantly be a style quotient of your wardrobe this season. The shimmer effect can vary from all over metallic look to crackled or light sheen effect … it all depends on the risk you are willing to take.

Bags: - If you are a low – medium risk taker, it is best to not take a styling directly to clothing but to concentrate on its effects on accessory. One of the best ways to do it is to pair you clothing with a shimmery bag… you can experiment with the sophisticated brown/ copper crackle on suede or perforated metallic leather. Or if you want to go a bit loud go for gold slingers or tote…..

Clothing: - Nothing can be better than a leather jacket in a winter day…. A perfect style statement which is not heavy to wear and help to keep the cold out…. Biker styles are in so defiantly try out a biker styles metallic look… but if you want to get ready for a party opt for laser cut dress with the just perfect in its silverish metallic sheen. Are you a lover for skirt??? Then there is a big joy for you… this season go for styling in skirts…. styles that are sexy yet classy in the metallic sheen in the skins that would define your style statement….. For people who breathe fashion there is nothing better than a pair of metallic pants and amazingly they come in leather….. If you are a bit conscious that these purchase will make a hole in your pocket then don’t worry buy a dress or jacket with is combined with fabric like jersy/ twill…… so get up and get ready in the best of the skins shimmer….

LACY AFFAIR

2012-07-27T11:07:00.001-07:00

IN LOVE AGAIN

There is perhaps nothing more elegant and history inspired in fashion than a garment embellished with laces. I am often amazed to see that how a simple blouse can look most perfect with a bit of lace on it. And for the best of inspiration in this delicate piece I love to look back in the Victorian time. The era is known for its taste of love, delicacy, femininity and colors.

Although if we look back in history the lace making is recorded back to the time of pharos but till today a garment with laces seems have a romance of fashion. It is needless to say that every time I look into this fab development I sense the need to fall in love with it again and again. And the best is that you can find it in all avatars.

Flirty Me :P

In Love With Myself :)

Ready To Propose :D

Its A Summer Wedding :O

Wear metallic this Season

Metallic has come up has one of the hottest things this season….. But make a mental note that shinny metallic might make you look cheap… hence we would try making metallic with stubble looks..

· Make up

Metallic shades in warm tones look fab in Indian skins. Bronze, copper, white gold, ink blue, and frosted pink are the color you might like to try.

To get the perfect look play with the metallic shade on eyes this season. But remember to keep everything else to minimal.. The metallic look combines rich pigment colors with shimmer hence always remember to apply a cream base before initiating.

You can also play with shades of metallic pink on lips this season. And just don’t forget to try metallic shades in nail paint this season… for a new look try taupe and grey’s.

If you love to be extreme then just wait, metallic hair colors would be soon available in India.

· Clothing

Metallic clothing done properly add a sophisticated but glam look.. As always said it is very important to balance it. If you are wearing metallic top then pair it with a pastel or dark toned bottom, and vice versa. Too much of metallic is always wrong. But bless of this season is matt metallic look. Hence if you love wearing metallic dress this season you can buy them in matt sheen and be the perfect diva.

Metallic are unique fabric pieces with great finishes that make some unforgettable piece in your wardrobe. The top rule is to keep one metal at a time. These are good for occasions specially holidays or festive moods.

You might find denims in metallic shades in some brands like French connection. Although ppl might not be buying a lot of these this season because of the love of neon’s but in coming season these would be the next hit. So if you find this pair do not hesitate to buy it.

· Accessory

The easiest way for those of you who are bit shy from trying a full on wardrobe is to try metallic accessory. Start from buying metallic belts. Go for best qualities as these would be a big say next season. Try different variations with and without buckles.

For the next step buy metallic footwear. Shoes with touch of metallic paints, wedges with metallic prints, flats with metallic embroideries on the satraps, heals with metallic strap.. You would just love it as you can pair it with just anything and everything… the best part with metallic footwear is that any finish would go with any clothing.

Say No!!!! For SS 12..

2012-05-26T09:41:00.000-07:00

Don’ts of SS 12 :-

Every one tells you what to wear this season. You can easily find what is the best buy.... What is hot this season.. What are your loved idols wearing????...

But we do not change our complete wardrobe every season... So other than knowing what to wear, it is utterly important to know what not to wear??????

Last season Gap bringing out sequenced kids wears… metallic sheen is in but all sequence is just too cheap.. More over it is uncomfortable…
Ss12 saw loads of colored feathers in the garment as well as accessory… this season goes for real skins and classic looks hence if you bought any of those feathers last season….kindly push them at the back of your wardrobe.
Heavy makeup and ultra skimpy clothes are completely out even if you want to be the most seductive one in the group.
Low rise jeans…. Although it’s been 2 seasons the waist lines are rising up but this season if you still adoring them it’s a blunder ….
Popped up collars were used to show for power … but if you have it do you really need to show it….. And a bigger mistake is wearing two popped up collar …….
Deep V neck on men showing there belly button…. Either you are proud to show your cleavage, or just jealous that attention is not drawn to you…….oh one more excuse it is chance to show off the chest hair growth…… kindly come off this trend…..
In your bag you can carry the whole world of yours, but is that all needed… Girls for ss 13 just lighten up your bag… forget the colored jholas you bought and go for minimal… trendy clutches are the say this season…
With peplum dresses, tunics this season you no more need the flared pajamas….. ward off the lazy you and shine up…
We all are well aware of hazards of heals… so this season has brought the belly back….. Start loving the flats…. But if heals is your first love then there are very trendy colorful wedges in the market…instead of heals that hurts your toe at day end opt the wedges…..
Hats that were a big say last spring are not that upbeat this time so try to avoid hats but scarf’s are in… so plunge in the pleasure and mix them up with just any dress you have…

Colour Fantasy for Men’s

2011-08-22T03:27:00.000-07:00

According to the old school of fashion men stick to darker colors. But with fast experimental changing of fashion trends new color pallets are getting opened for them to play in there wardrobe. The change came in from introduction to pastel light shades and has now been build to neon green shirts in the garb. In this fight to fashion remember to use few necessary mechanisms.

· The best way to rejuvenate is buying bright shirts rather than the whole suit. There would be a instant jolt of energy at your workspace with these exquisite fluid colors.

· If you are completely open to experimentation then buy bottoms of colors like dark green, blood red, orange. These colors are biggest say for coming season. Plus they make you look taller.

· Sticking to grey is staying in a fashion rut now push the boundaries. Similarly beige makes you look old and fat both. Baby blue has always been the color for men but surprisingly baby pink is another color picking up. But color for coming season is purple and raspberry beret.

· Brides in India wear red so why not the grooms. If u are getting married this season then stop looking at your elder bro and friends who bough cream or black shades…. Go Red, maroon. If you are bit scared then mix it with a bit of white or off white. But don’t forget even you need to look a shining ruby.

· If you are a regular tie wearer then there is whole range in market for you. Various bright patterns and digital graphic printed in colors you never dared to wear. Buy them to let you fell grand.

· Complementary colors might not work that good for Indian skin tones. So have a good look at yourself before going out. And yes colors are in for men but we still don’t need to pair them with same color socks

Make a note don’t be afraid embrace colors….

Fashion Blunders

2011-08-20T00:52:00.001-07:00

A major number of people, who love to be trendy, follow the fashion leaders or pick up the latest trend moving in the market. In this process due to lack of technical knowledge, they start opting for fashion blunders. Here are some often opted fashion blunders.

· Crocs are beach were. Yes they are comfortable but kindly note that they are larger and make or feet look abnormal. It is ok if u were them in beaches as it solves a functional process and fits in the environment but buying costly branded crocs to move around the market is a fashion blunder.

· Baggy look do give a very hip hop carefree attitude to you but note there is a difference between baggy garments and oversized garments. Baggy garments are a style statement because they are provided with volume at the making stage but buying oversize garment to make a speech is a fashion error.

· Flashy belts and heavy accessorized footwear are a say for women’s fashion. But men, they look cheap even if caring a designer tag and after sometime you yourself would feel. Opes what a fashion howler.

· Floral dresses look beautiful in summers. And if you are wearing it with your smile nothing shines as bright like you. But wearing it in a shiner textile like satin spoils the complete sunny look. More over it give your colleague a betting that you are not comfortable in it as you have committed a fashion error.

· Socks and sandal. What’s wrong with your fashion sense? If you mind getting your feet dirty then buy a pair of light colored thin ankle socks. Socks are meant to go with shoes, not even flip flops stop making fashion bungle.

· A tank top is basically inner were or for more description Indian’s it is an underwear. It might sometimes be bigger than a regular vest but it is always meant to be worn as an undershirt. Yes heat is cruel but why to ditch polo t shirts and V neck light weighted shirts. For athletic activities tank top is a yes otherwise keep it hidden don’t commit this fashion mistake.

· Squeezing in small sized clothes is not going to make you look slim. In fact they result in bulges at tummy and back and make you look fatter. Start working out and maintain diet for slimmer you. Additionally I can bet they are neither they are comfortable for you nor you feel confident so avoid this fashion mistake.

· Brown and black is an old school no-no. If any of your dear friends says you look stunning in your black suit with brown shoes it’s time to make new one.Brown shoes with a blue suit is fine, a blue suit with black shoes works well, but avoid pairing a black suit with brown shoes it’s a fashion sweat.

· Pants should look like one stop them from getting converted into pajamas. If the hem has flare then the length should be just appropriate. Don’t let it get caught in your hells. It really looks like a lazy fashion slip.

· Chipped nail paint. Girl is there a big personal problem or emotional drench in your life? It is better to keep your nails without paint than to give them this torture. Clear nail enamel is another solution to this fashion problem.

Ø Red has always been the color for brides and with it been the fashion color this year it goes perfect for the bride. Choose hues on brighter side. Maroon would be a bit out but blood red and cherry red would just suit you. But if you love to experiment you can even go with wine and bronze color this season
Ø One colored throughout the dress is a bit boring. Hence mix up colors. Red and green are usually the favorites. But you are forgetting there are many vibrant colors in your pallet. Get inspired with Rajasthan brides. You can pick all possible colors. Mix matches the color of your skirt and blouse you would be a fashion model.
Ø Flares, gathers and volume are in fashion. Do not go for fishcut or tight silhouette this season. Sleek and slimmer had never been an Indian bride type. They are uncomfortable for movements too. Go for fuller versions of skirts that accentuate your curves. Umbrella cuts or and full circular skirts are the trends to follow. Go for panels in your skirt. It gives volume with length.
Ø You can even experiment by adding an extra layer of fabric just below the hem giving a layered skirt look.
Ø Long length is in. If you are experimental then make a four piece dress, add a koti over your blouse let it flow along with the skirt down the hem. But if you are a follower then make the hem of your blouse kiss the belt at your skirt. Mini blouses are talks of last season. A hidden elegant bride is the look for season.
Ø Traditional embroideries have played a very important part in bridal dress. Unlike other apparels where fabric price constitute a major part of the costing in bridal were the cost depends totally on the surface ornamentation. Thus, your cost very well decides what work would be in your dress. But there is a huge scope to play still.
Ø After kundans of last season the pearls are gaining worth in the market. If you are a spender embellish you forever dress with pearls in combination with Swarovski. If you love to glitter swarovski can be your style statement. The dress would be costly but would present you as a dazzling fairy.
Ø If you are a person with fixed budget but ethnic zaree work. Bronze is the colour for this season so jump in the vintage look. For designs look in for floral and leaf patterns. Try to avoid buying traditional paisleys and oges. Note although dabka is out of fashion but when presented with sequences it can really make the day for you.
Ø If you are going for a ultra simple look then nothing works than a silk thread embroideries with katori sequence.
Ø Don’t overdo the embroidery. The look for the season is simpler. Get heavy work on the hem and the belt leave the rest plain or with small grains. Similarly markets flow with heavy worked duppatta. It’s not only hard to carry but also an extra added cost. Make a light duppata with embroidery on the edges and heavy embroidery on the crown. That is all you would need. More over the sheerness at the duppata would bring out the grace of your skirt. Go for round or keyhole necklines for blouses this season.
Ø Accessories are imperative part of the gaze. Copy the trend of the royals, carry a potli bag in which the embroidery match your dress. Heavy neck pieces are a big no for this season. Were simpler neck piece with heavy long ear pieces. A nose ring is something that separates the bride from all beauties of similar age. Get a nose ring, it would illustrate rich traditions, thanks to the jewelry designers these are now available in various styles and materials and make you look more and more chic.
Ø Heavy pink /red make up make you look like a artificial doll. Tell your beautician before hand to match the color with the dress and add copper or bronze tinge to it for a more elegant look. You can experiment with eye makeup but try it before your Big day. A high raised bun is what you find at most places. This can be experimented with braids this season.

And last of all the most vital thing that complete your look is your beautiful smile. So whatever you are wearing or not whatever designer label or not is at the back of your dress. Were the beautiful ornament of smile and you are all ready to walk on the ramp of marriage.
