As winter slowly transitioned into hot summer, All of us has started essembling our wardrobe with summer essentials. At this time of year usually there is rush to get hands on new trends of summer.Well this is also the time , when I make horrible wardrobe choice as I buy new season items without much thought on them. And most of them are left untouched in wardrobe till next summer season.

I know most of girls commit this same fashion crime every year. So, this year, I’ve decided to take a moment to work out what my wardrobe needs this Summer season. And in the meantime, it’s the perfect time to stock up on some summer basics that I’ll wear  like the white tee.

White tee is an all important wardrobe staple, it’s the perfect segue into summer.

White t-shirt or top always come to rescue ,when we really can’t decide what to wear or don’t have much time to assemble an outfit. Just throw on your white top with denims an you are ready to hit the road.

Choosing the perfect white t-shirt is not as easy as one would think, it’s all about choosing the right cut and fabric for your body.

I bought this sheer white top from a zara few months back and have worn it over and over, the rounded neckline and free flowing  fabric have meant it can be worn with just about anything and will lasted a long time.

It’s Spring time!

As Spring season is here, colourful prints(especially florals) are starting to become my best friend again.I have always loved the concept of layering as it adds little fun element to the look and Printed Kimonos are just right for that.

I came across kimono shrug while surfing through myntra and among many designs and prints, this shrug was exactly what I was looking for. When it comes to wearing shrugs, I love pairing  them with basic tee and denim. As it adds dash of spring to your simple looks.

Playing to the whole spring vibe,I opted for nude pink heels. Nude heels are best to pair up with maximum outfits and it also gives a chic look to the whole attire.

I kept the look quite simple ,without makeup and accessories.

Finish : Its give a matte finish and also hydrates the dry patches on your skin , but I would still recommend to apply moisturizer and primer before foundation. It gives perfect natural finish and photographs well too.

If your trouble spots taken care of, it doesn’t even need to be built up for coverage , and evens out your skin and giving you the cleanest canvas to work with.

You can also use it at night before going to bed with your skincare routine and wake up with nice soft lips. It also heals chapped lips.

But it does have buttery texture which help it glides effortlessly on the lips. Also it contains some good ingredients like Shea Butter, Vitamin E and Aloe Vera which do show results.

Basic Style Hacks

Posted on by admin

Have you ever wondered while looking at Anyone’s Stylish attire on instagram or style magazine that how effortlessly stylish they are looking and you want to have your own free style like them too, well I feel you.

But let me tell you little secret- Even effortless fashion requires little effort, it requires time and practice , but being the lazy person I am , Spending time on styling is not easy for me .So, to deal with this I have these style hacks which help me keep in style and organised as well.

Budget

First of all, always keep your budget in check, like I always tend to get overboard while shopping and would end up buying stuff which I don’t really need.

So, before you step out for shopping, assign yourself a budget.

The 8 Hour Rule

To try Different styles or much bolder look, most of stylist follows this rule- they would pick out their outfits night before. This way , there is no rush and it gives you chance to style tricky pieces, like bold cut –off shirt or flare skirt with crop top.

The Runway Pick

With every season comes plenty of trends to try, but trying to pull off every new style would be too much. Instead, choose what goes or suits your personal style. Pick a style and try it with your blend of style.

Do try new things as they would keep your style fresh, but mix your personal established style to it. This way you will be comfortable and confident to carry it.

 80-20 Rule

Spend 80 percent of your budget on key staples and save 20 percent for spontaneous pieces that you fall in love with.This way you can get sassy trends as well as you get have your staples lined up too like-comfy hoodie and a pair of denims that fit just right.

White-Blue Rule

There are times, when u just can’t find anything to wear in spite of wardrobe flooding with clothes. This happens with me so many times.

White t-shirt with blue denims can never go wrong, it saves my day.

Statement Pick Rule

It’s important to learn art of mix and match, And also to style that one special piece to add sparkle to your look.

The trick is to keep your look simple, but choose one piece that pops-up and make your style look snob and sassy. It can be a statement neck piece or bright hand bag.

Take Your Time

Always take some time out for yourself, don’t be in a rush. Make sure when you leave your house in morning, you should be happy with your look. If you look good, you feel good .Therefore you will have a nice day

Don’t follow someone’s Style, find your own style

  and remember,

“Fashion is what you want it to be!”.

 

Self-Acceptance

Posted on by admin

In this world , in amidst of all chaos where everyone is busy moving forward in race of life and losing sight of who we are and what we are actually capable of. People try to be someone else in order to adjust among people or to impress people.

But how do you expect for people to accept you , when you yourself don’t feel confident about yourself and don’t accept yourself the way you are.

NO ONE CAN BE THE BETTER YOU THAN YOU YOURSELF

Accept yourself the way you are and come to terms with all of those aspects of yourself that cannot be changed. Accepting yourself means to have a positive self-image, self-respect and love for yourself.

It doesn’t mean to be arrogant or thinking that you are better than anyone, it rather means to have a healthy concern of yourself knowing that you are worthy human being and deserve to be happy.

Everyone have their strengths and weaknesses and we should always work on improvising ourselves as we certainly possess resources to work with.

REMEMBER THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT

Know that you are unique and have specific abilities and talent, Every person is different and unique and have capabilities of their own which no one else possess, so be yourself.

To appreciate yourself, discover what makes you unique (and happy) and work towards polishing your talents. You are responsible to yourself .OWN UP TO IT!

Don’t sit around and wait for approval from others .Do what makes you happy, work on accepting yourself as you are. Be the best version of you.

Until you accept yourself, you won’t be able to accept realities of life.

If you don’t love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you?

BE YOURSELF! ACCEPT YOURSELF! LOVE YOURSELF!

Shea body butter-Review

Posted on by admin

hss-body-butter

The body shop shea body butter makes my drab winter much more bright and happy with its nutty smell and buttery texture. In terms of quality and moisturizing power the body shop’s body butters are my favourites. And among them shea body butter is my first choice.

It’s rich and creamy texture is a treat for your skin. It melts straight away onto your skin leaving your skin soft and smooth. It absorbs quickly into your skin giving it 24 hour hydration.

Body butter comes in round tub with a screw on cap. You can use a spatula if you don’t wish to use your fingers to get product out of tub – I think its more hygienic that way .You can also get it in a travel size for travelling purposes.

The shea body butter has a very smooth and buttery texture. It does not feel greasy or oily at all- whichbody-butterhss is my main concern with moisturizers.it has a delicious nutty scent and is suitable for all skin types but specially works amazing for dry skin. It has a very light fragnance once applied to your skin which last for few hours (love it).

It adequately moisturizes my dry skin, does not feel heavy or greasy at all and its perfect for dry skin like mine. My skin stays hydrated whole day and I do not need re application. It’s good enough to be used every day,  be it winters or summers.

The Body shop body butters do cost quite a bit , but I think it is so worth the investment as you get good quantity which will last you at least the whole season. The body shop do offer good discounts on their products time to time so do look for them.

Food abundant in iron include soy products, beans, lentils, whole grain products, green spinach, fresh vegetables, asparagus, parsley, and also dry fruits like raisins, dates and apricots, etc. Including these in your diet will help keep your nails healthy!
