Summer Must-Haves - Part 3

Hello beautiful people, beasts & Aliens :D I hope you're all doing amazing with schools & colleges closing for the summer! In order to help you out, here's my take on the clothes you need to own this summer! So, get ready to hit the stores & upgrade your summer wardrobe! ;)


Lace Clothing
                                                        From skirts to tops to dresses, lace has invaded the clothing industry. I personally love lace, & feel that it is flirty, yet elegant; simple, yet gorgeous. Be it the beach, or a dinner party, or a brunch, or even a casual hangout, lace can be worn anywhere & everywhere. Lace for the summer - check please! 


Silk Blouse

From summer parties to lightweight work wear, a silk blouse makes you feel cool & look hot ;) I see no reason to not wear silk in the summer - it's drapery lines & loose fit won't constrict your body when it gets hot. Silk in the summer gets a resounding yes! It is perfect for any occasion, & requires minimal work to look fab! 


High-waisted Floral Skirt

I don't know what, but it could be versatility, that makes high waisted floral skirts so appealing! A high waisted floral skirt with some sandals is perfect for a day on the beach or out shopping with the girls; throw in some wedges or heels, & you're good to go for a casual date night! They hit the total spectrum for summer grunge to a sexy night out! So, what are you waiting for?! Grab your skirt today! 





Well, my lovelies, hope this has been helpful to you! What do you think are some of the clothes that are a Must-Have this summer? Let me know by leaving in a comment below! :)

Summer Must-Haves - Part 2

Hello beautiful people, beasts & Aliens! :D Here's the second installment to my series, Summer Must-Haves, where I talk about things you MUST NOT miss out on this summer (the title's pretty descriptive, right?!!) This time, I'm going to write about the colors for summer!


I've personally decided to brighten up my wardrobe for the summer. I have already had a shopping spree, and bought many dresses, skirts.. (Let's save that for another article, shall we?! ) Anyway, so summer is all about liveliness and fun, right?! So, let your clothes speak for you this summer through bubbly & pretty colors! :)


Pastel Green
          If you don't already own this color, trust me, your wardrobe is crying out at your lack of understanding it's needs! 
       This beautiful color, according to me, screams out fun, bubbliness & pretti-ness (is that a word?) with just the right hint of elegance! In fact, my mom is CRAZZAAAY about this color! So, girls, you need to get this color in your wardrobe ASAP! 

Bubble Gum Pink
Okay, look at this color, & tell me you don't want it. Just tell me, girls, &
 I will  eat my hat!  I mean, this color deserves to be in your 
wardrobe. It's flirty, adorable & everything summer promises to be! 
And, don't we all want to let our inner girly out free?! Well, this color is definitely
a summer must have, if you ask me! 






Electric Blue
I'm sure everyone owns this color. If you don't, girlfriend, you're committing a fashion crime! I mean, every single brand, every single store includes this color in their summer collection! And, it rightfully belongs there! This vibrant color speaks of youth, beauty & elegance without over-doing it! The sheer simplicity yet gorgeousness of this color didn't let me walk away from it! So, you better run and get one for yourself, too! 



Yellow
Some might criticise this color as being too bright, but, if you ask me, why not?! I mean, isn't summer meant to be all about bright colors? And trust me, girls, this color looks absolutely fantabulous once you wear it! Don't go for brighter shades, though. So, brighten up some lonely heart's day this summer with this beautiful color! 






I hope you all enjoyed this article! Hope it makes dressing up this summer for all those beach/pool side parties, dates, night outs or any other event a lot easier, but I know that's not possible, is it?! ;)

Summer Must-Haves - Part 1

Hello beautiful people, beasts & Aliens! :D As this is my first blog (YAYIIEEE!! :D ), I thought I should do something different. So, I've decided to write a series, over a few days, about a number of things you must own for this summer. 
                         Today, I'll mention some make-up products you have to own! Hope you all like, no love it :)


The Urban Decay Naked Palette


If you're a make-up lover, like me, you've definitely at least heard of this palette. This beauty is a must have, & as it wasn't available where I live until recently, I had mine shipped to me! It is the most versatile palette I have come across, comprising 12 gorgeous neutrals, . From natural to chic to classy to party to sultry, you can use this palette to create any look! In fact, I used this palette for every event of my brother's wedding, and the results were amazing! The brush along with is really good, too & can be used for many different application techniques. Icing on the cake, it comes with an amazing lip gloss too! It's a li'l expensive, but definitely worth it!! For all those beach-side parties, night out with the girls, night clubs, datenights & any other event this summer, this baby is your saviour! :D


Bourjois Paris "Cheeky Series"


It's not actually a series, but they are best together. Okay, I'll admit it, that's the worst name I could've come up with, but these 3 products are too good to miss out on! The bronzer is of a beautiful shade of chocolate-y brown with the slightest shimmer in it & is a must have for the summer, suitable for any skin tone! (Mind you. It smells & looks like chocolate, too :P ) The pretty pink blusher is perfect for that natural rosy cheek color we all want, but I'd recommend it for fair to medium skin tones. And last, but definitely not the least, the highlighter can be used for the brow bones, nose, forehead and any other highpoint of the face. Combine all three and you have the perfect look for any occasion!  You can use them individually, too. They're very lightweight & hardly noticeable. Wait.. There's more! They may look less in quantity, but they last for very long! I've been using mine for almost a year now, but they're not over even halfway yet! I'm sure you'll love them, & will be absolutely perfect for all those plans this summer!

                               So, girls, if a make-up shopping day is coming up (IK I have one right around the corner ;) ), You better check out the above mentioned products! 

            What are some of the make-up items not to be missed out on this summer, according to you? Don't forget to let me know by leaving in a comment below! :)

A bob : Advantages and Disadvantages

Well, I recently got a bob cut and now, that I'm used to it , I know pretty well about it's advantages and disadvantages.

I have thick, straight hair so I was really apprehensive about getting a bob, because I've seen most people who have a bob with really fine hair. Anyway, that did not discourage me so much so as  to not want to get myself a bob. I just convinced myself and my hairstylist was also really encouraging. So, I decided to go for it. And, I have to admit, I made the right decision.

My bob is a traditional box bob. I wasn't ready to brave the asymmetric or A-line bob. I got it cut really short, because it's starting to heat up in the region I live in, and I just wanted a short hair cut. 

Firstly, I'd like to talk about the disadvantages of getting a bob cut, which are very few in number:

1)  You cannot braid, wear a bun, or tie it up into a long ponytail.
2) You don't have long hair unless you buy extensions or a wig. And sometimes, you just need to wear hair styles which suit long hair.
3) It's really awkward going all short after having your hair long.

But, don't let that discourage you from getting it cut!!!!! Because the advantages are a lot more important, and aren't we all optimists???

So, now I would like to go about the advantages of getting a bob cut, which are :

1) It's a really low- maintenance hairstyle. All you might have to do is probably curl it inwards from the bottom because completely straight hair DOES NOT WORK for a bob.A bob is the most manageable hairstyle, except for maybe a pixie cut.
2) You CAN let it down! Since it's a really short haircut, you don't need to worry about heat, sweat, etc which makes most people tie it up.
3) You can wear really cute hair clips, something which you don't usually use for most of your other hair styles.
4) It's a really elegant hairstyle for work, a super cool one for wearing outside, and a great one for school.
5) It makes you feel a whole lot comfortable, because you don't need to keep fixing you hair, tying it up, re-braiding it, bobby- pinning it, etc. 
6) Nowadays, loads of cool hairstyles have come up for people who go for a bob, so it's not like you're never styling your hair. 
7) A bob cut is a style statement itself. So you DO NOT require to style your hair, but you can if you want to.
8) You can wair extensions if you want to wear hair style in long hair, although I don't do that because I'm just too comfortable with wearing my own hair and I love my short hair.
9) It'll grow , whereas long hair can NEVER become short unless you cut it! So you can never wear short hair if you have your hair long!

I'm also putting up a video from a channel on Youtube so that you can see the various ways with which you can style a bob!



Hope you liked it!
