Go Floral

These days I have seen a lot of designers working with floral prints and patterns in their collections.

they always look great when worn correctly. I believe that there should be a balance in the entire outfit.

Its quite a challenge for alot of us to carry of prints that are so bold and colorful.
The combination I have put together is a good example of a balanced outfit for a lunch date, a business lunch (if you are in the creative and communication field), a pool party, or even a formal lunch with your boss. It all works well 🙂

The florals are doing the rounds right now and if you plan to update that wardrobe, buy one of these numbers.

Go Floral!

My Collage

Collecting pictures that define your style, that interest you and inspire you is one of the best ways to understand the style you like.
Collages make you go a lil crazy and keep your mind more open when you spot some lovely colors and silhouttes in those fashion magazines.
Its always good to keep your ideas and thoughts handy specially when it comes to fashion and style.
It also helps you to get to know yourself better… oh and it makes shopping way more easier 😉

So go make your collage! 🙂 Its a good way to get inspired…

Robert Jaso

Stumbled upon this link and I must say Robert Jaso is one talented guy! His works are so full of life and color that it makes you want to see more of his work. 

One of my top inspirations as far as color usage and photography ideas are concerned. Please have a look — > www.robertjaso.com

 

Green & Lace

One of my favourite combinations!
I absolutely LOVE racer backs! They are comfortable, trendy, smart and can be worn with anything or just as is.

The lace number is another MUST HAVE. Its timeless and enhances your look..

Couple these with a hot pair of denim shorts, suede heels and a little bag.

WIN 🙂

A little something…

Its always good to know little things in life without being told all the time. it makes you live life easier and you start accepting yourself more. 

Living in a fast moving society, you would always want to be in the know and  understand how to do simple things to blend well in your surrounding.. be it at your workplace, at home or just in your own room. 

Here are a few 🙂 

DINING ETIQUETTE – Alot of us tend to forget the age old dining etiquette that our ancestors followed. well living in a country like India, it was only the Brits who believed in this, but we also had the Indian royal family who strongly believed in such etiquette. 

 

 

HOW TO TIP CORRECTLY? 

So we have all been the restaurants, visiting salons, gotten all the services done from people and then paid ten bucks for all the work. Everyone wants a little bit of perk for their services excluding the amount you pay for your dinner or a haircut. 

Its always good to be generous 🙂

 

HOW TO SERVE AT A PARTY? 

Lets all face it, we have splurged on food, drinks, extra juices, snacks and everything thats got to do with having a nice party for your friends or family. there is a little planning that should go in, specially when you have so many guests and you plan to make them happy.. Its good to roughly come up with an average amount of each item for each guest.  Here’s how – 

 

HOW TO CONVERT MEASUREMENTS FOR COOKING? 

You know how to cook or you just hate the kitchen, this is a little something worth knowing 

 

 

HOW TO BE A CREATIVE PERSON? 

Well this is fun. When i read this one I found it so fascinating and its actually so true. I mean you sometimes really can make yourself creative instead of wishing so much. For some it comes so naturally to them and then there are some who need to make that effort to think out of the box. 

 

PAIRING WINE AND FOOD

Yes, its actually true that wine tastes better when paired with the right food. When both work well with each other, it stimulates the right tastebuds. 

 

 

 

The Pocket Square frenzy

Figured that there are more than 50 pocket square designs. Some really classy ones, mind you. 

Getting ready for you big day or you are just one of those super stylish guys.. here are some of them – 

 

 

 

 

 

How to go Skinny the right way?

Nah, definitely nothing to do with “being skinny” here. What we are talking about is Skinny Jeans.. how to choose the right one for yourself? We all tend to make mistakes here by choosing the right color but the wrong style for you.. some of us have even chosen jeans that make us look twice our size.

So jeans being the standard, most comfortable and sexy part of your wardrobe, you need to be a little wise about what is the right one. 🙂

Here goes..

Body Shapes & Sizes – Yes, this is the most important thing to understand when you are choosing your skinny jeans, and mind you, not only this, but your entire wardrobe should be able to embrace your body shape the right way!

if you have the Curves And Hips

If you do have a curvier body shape, wearing skinny jeans tucked into mid-calf/knee high boots will balance out the lower leg portion, while wearing a longer shirt or tunic that hits just below the butt will flatter the top half.

if you are Slim And Straight

If you have a straighter figure, more so what they call the boyish shape or fashion model style, I would say that a low rise can be very flattering. Crop your jeans at the calves or just get them tailored and fitted, it enhances your entire look from head to toe.

if you are Petite

If you are petite then wearing a skinny jean with a high rise, pumps and a shirt/blouse tucked in at the waist can really elongate your legs for a more dressier look, but for casual I would recommend a low rise skinny jean that’s super skinny all over.

If you are Tall

For the taller ladies, they are very lucky as they can pretty much get away with just about any skinny jean on the market.

Butt Shapes – Your pair of jeans has to look pretty all over and not just in front.. we all know that. Having a really cool front and a horribly done back, will just kill your look. Always look at your pockets at the back before rating your jeans a full 10.

A few simple tips to remember are make sure the back pockets are symmetrical and in line with each other, make sure they are not too big or too small and also make sure they are a flattering shape; the classic pocket with the V at the bottom is always the best in my opinion.’

For smaller/flatter butts –

Go for pockets that are slightly higher up to give an illusion of a fuller butt. Picking jeans with back pockets that are also slightly wider apart will create the illusion that you have a wider butt, however this isn’t always very flattering and can look bad if they are placed to far apart. The best option would be picking central back pockets with a higher positioning.

For Bigger/Rounder butts –

I wouldn’t recommend high positioned pockets as they look very odd on fuller butts. The perfect position for pockets are where the bottom of the pocket (as it dips into a V shape) hits just at the bottom of your cheeks (where the cheek meets the thigh).

LEG SHAPES – This is another tricky one to figure but its important to know these minute things for a useless and practical purchase.

Athletic/Fuller Legs

If you have more muscular/athletic or fuller legs then I would recommend choosing a 12 inch skinny jean, or something around that proportion, as it will fit a lot like a slimmer skinny jean.

Very Slim Legs

Go for ankle peg skinny jeans with a 10inch leg opening or less. They fit well and don’t hug too tight which gives a little breathing space for your legs.

– Enhancing that figure – Skinny jeans are supposed to enhance your figure and give you a sexy silhouette even at your most casual occasion. After all we women have the right curves to flaunt and jeans, even though covering up pretty much, they are by far the most stylish pieces you could own.. and inexpensive too. Make sure your jeans fit well at your hips and don’t make you look sloppy. Im sure you wouldn’t want them slipping off when you sit or do any kind of work or while walking. Depending on your body shape, figure out where exactly would you want your jeans to sit.

So what is your shade?

Dark Wash

Medium Wash

Light Wash

 

Different washes also create certain illusions – for example, dark colors make you look slimmer, lighter shade make your curves look more prominent. And if you want to be safe, a medium wash works just perfect 🙂

Today, people are even sporting the colored skinny jeans. They do look really trendy but not on everyone. They are colors after all and each color works differently on each body shape. So tomorrow if you see someone sporting that hot red skinny number, do go binge shopping without knowing what exactly suits you. You wouldn’t want to look like the slightly sober version of Lady Gaga ;P

Color Psychology

Ever wondered what color psychology is?

Its how your perceive the rays that you see. Color is basically how the mind works.
Each color has its own feeling, mood and significance, as you see in the picture.

This is a good way to understand what color should be used in a particular design.

the fact is, whatever your “favorite color” is how positive that color appears to You.

It can be very subjective but every human mind actually works on similar lines.

Stumbled upon this on StumbleUpon.

I LOVE colors.. so I feel its always good to understand them and how they work in style, fashion, art, image management and design.

Bershka Lovin’

The beautiful orange and pink laptop bag that I sport these days.

Bershka love.

Crop it ;)

Crop tops have been doing their rounds everywhere. Sport it with your shorts, denim skirt or high waist jeans and you are good to go 🙂

(picture taken from ASOS) oh well, I just added this one to my cart ;D

Fun Tip – planning to discard one of those old tshirts/tops? DONT. Find a pair of scissors and “crop it”!
