The jaunt

It's time to rejoice, Summers are upon us and are bolder. Let's get to wardrobe adding/changing because summers are long and trends are too many Jazz up Embellishments still hold us in their slavery. Be it day or night, blouse or dress, the more they are embellished the better. Embellish it with studs or with metallic fabrics. the important thing here is to add bling. It's time to let the ladies to get their shine on! Cropping, again ! Seems to me the crop tops are never going to go away. It's been flexed for several seasons but this time we see the trend explode. The main purpose for crop tops is to show off the mid-riff, I guess it's time to renew the gym membership!                                     Flower Power This is a continuing trend from the winters. Lovely roses, poppies, camellias are all going to takeover either in the form of prints, em...

The trend for men for Autumn/Winter 2013-14 is pretty much the same as women's! Basically, if you follow Johnny Depp blindly, you'll be doing really well. His dressing is the perfect playboy and nature inspired. Also to not forget that 60's-70's are playing a major role this season, invariably a lot of geometric print will be seen!  Here are some major trends: 1. Claret for men It's an unexpected entry this season but is definitely the most common seen colour this time. It's time to embrace this colour either through separates or if you really feel like it, go head to toe in it! Though a dark red would look perfect with another complementary colour. This hue could range between a burgundy to a magenta! 2.  Animal Instincts Now if you thought that animal print will not make it to menswear, whoa hey! Think again! It's here and it's big. But only if you are daring enough you indulge in an safari print outfit, otherwise keep it s...

So to say, it's the end for neons for 2013! Pack them up because they'll be back next summers. And let's say hello to Pastels and Earthy colours. I have always enjoyed winters more than summers just because I can layer more, and of course the colours are always such that I can relate to more, and yea also the time I don't feel odd not being able to run in heels :| So here are few major trends for Fall/Winter 2013-2014: 1. 50 shades of grey Easy to say: not everything is black or white in winters. The pallete runs from charcoal to slate grey. Also a lighter grey can be a good neutral for this season. 2.  English Gardens Flowers aren't drying up this time, A lot of them are being used as mains this season. From big bold blooming flowers to small pansies; techni-colour roses to mono-chromatic flowers,it's just floral all the way! 3. Tartan it up! The major trend this time is the run to Scottish Highfileds to get those Plaids and Tartans...

I follow some shoe rules! There are few kinds of shoes that everyone should have in their shoe closet! These are basic. You have these 10 and you are basically good to go. So here goes the Ten footwear styles : 1. The Flat Sandal : Probably known more common as the thong flats/slippers.  Perfect for summer to wear with ankle jeans, a skirt or a dress. They are super comfy and can be extremely stylish. Pick them up in bright colours, embellished with stones and/or dainty, intricate straps. 2. Espadrilles Another shoe that is fun for summer, adds height without the wobble and is capable of being paired with capris, shorts or a dress is the espadrille.  Flat espadrilles are also an option for summer casual chic attire.   TOMS are the best example for one! 3.   Ballet flats or loafers/slippers Tired of running around in your heels but you don't want to compromise on style? Ballet flats spell chic. Pair them with summer...

Let me just say it right away Black does not suit everyone! Wait! What! I repeat myself.... Black does not suit everyone! So now that, that's out; Let's discuss it The probably only bad effect of black is that it makes you a lot older and adds age and if you have any blemishes on your face, then it highlights it While wearing black does give the appearance of a slimmer figure by making the shadows from less visible, wearing it next to the face brings out the worst. It can also bring out dark circles under the eyes and lines. Also, it's just in five of us who have the correct skin tone to wear black as well And how to avoid the shadows of black? 1. Do not wear black as a polo-neck or scarf against the face 2. If you are wearing a black top, choose one which has a low neck-line so your skin tone will reflect your face 3. Black is better if worn from the waist down as it then flatters the right parts of the body and ofcourse should be teamed up with something ...

Confused? By the talk of "layering" in menswear- well most men are! Let's fix that... Layering is a great way to combine your favourtie pieces and wear something  comfortable and flexible, while showcasing your sense of style. A simple addition of a garment with another can go a very long way in changing the look of your ensemble. Rule#1 Thinner clothes first The closer to your skin, the thinner the material. Just make sure that the bottom layer isn't too loose. Rule#2 Each layer should be something that could be worn on its own Define each layer; Wearing a flimsy dress shirt does not classify as a good layering, if it is: Just avoid it! Rule#3 Outer hems should be longer than the inner hems Sure there are always expectations to this but it's not a good look, and you shouldn't be doing it unless you're really sure you want to. In particular, avoid a untucked shirt under a sports jacket or blazer. Rule #4 Mix in some colour Use compl...
