Life is a fairy tale!

          Who knew that Kate Middleton will become Duchess of Cambridge one day! No one can judge what we are worth of, time alone can decide. The thing which is really meaningful is what we want to be. As quoted by James Dean  "Dream as if you will live forever,live as if you will die today",  life indeed is meaningful and every dream, little or big, is worth pursuing! In the honor of the royal wedding, treat yourself this week as a princess! Pamper yourself this week!! This post is dedicated to all the dreamers who are working hard to make their dreams come true! Here are a few quick tips to change your look to a royal one! Presenting the three key element to a royal look:
    
           I always seemed to love the pearls, the elegance they embody is just remarkable! Pearls are never out of fashion. If you have pearls don't hesitate to wear them. You don't need to think even twice to put them on. Be it Sarah Jessica Parker in a sleek pearl necklace or Rihanna in pearls extravaganza, pearls are season less royal treat. From $20 to lacs, these pearls are easily available because of their popular demand.

White necklace is a very traditional and classic piece,but pearl necklaces are now available in other colors and sizes as well.Necklaces made from freshwater pearls are of very good quality and affordable too.

            The second key element to the royalty is a well crafted hat. The mother of fashion Coco Chanel, while living with Balsan began designing hats as a hobby, which soon became a deeper interest of hers.. It may be worn for protection against the elements, for ceremonial or religious reasons, for safety, or as a fashion accesory. In the past, hats were an indicator of social status. Philip Treacy OBE is an award-winning Irish milliner who designs hats for the most important designers in the world and for such women as Sarah Jessica Parker and Lady Gaga. The hat may be of several different styles. The royal guests wore breathtaking pieces on the wedding. Here are few  hats I loved in the market recently! Wear a cloche with a floral dress or a derby hat with a dramatic blouse and pants. You will look out of the world. For a garden party or a simple walk to the college campus, carry a cloche or hat of your choice to go with your favorite outfits.

                A princess must walk in comfortable and most charming shoes! Pumps are ideal, I recommend a pair of black pumps  for every closet. Though the color punch trend can also be taken in consideration, yellow or red, every color looks beautiful and trendy. Jewelled pumps and sandals look great with any kind of evening dress.

Must Haves for Summer

      Following the advent of summer, the urge to shop a new wardrobe collection is obvious. Must haves for the summer are obvious but sometimes we get confused seeing the piles of clothes in the store for Spring Break sale, perplexed, what to pick out of the pile,sometimes we just walk away.Best thing is to know in advance what you really want. Here is a list of stuff that "The Fashionistas" recommends to all girlfriends, which I am sure you will like. As summer arrives every girl gets prepared to flaunt their sun kissed skin but when going to school we must carefully choose our wardrobe such that we should look smart and most importantly posh. No need to flaunt over the bound, leave a bit to imagine too!!

Confused? Black always does miracle,but in summer prefer color blocks or nude this year!

This is a bit too much, wear something elegant to school, which shows you respect your professors and the institute. Don't end up looking like you are there just for a good damn thing*! Wearing clothes elegantly earns you respect, who says looking sexy and elegant are different? Its easy to look both. Leave the revealing clothes for the weekends and night outs!!

I love the look of Ashley Tisdale, she is wearing a white short and an elegant top. Always pair short with something elegant, it will make you look sexy as well as elegant too!

       Every wardrobe must have a cute white shorts, they just go with any color,look hot and sexy! Wear an over sized tee with a micro or shorts, wear thigh high boots to give a sexy look.One graphic tee is all we need to survive the heat of the season! Graphic tees which fit slim on the body go very well with the shorts, skirts as well as jeans, brands like American Eagle and Ed Hardy are my personal favorite. Just one tee can serves your purpose through out the summer.

The versatile Graphic Tee, wear it anywhere, all your beloved celebs can be spotted in cute graphic tees now and then.
