Vintage,That's What my Soul Is!

A thing of beauty is indeed joy forever, a thing of beauty never gets old, it instead becomes more beautiful and alive! I love treasuring things I have which have come from my Mom, Aunts and Grand Mother. The late 40's and 50's clothing are very close to my heart. I really love mixing some of my vintage stuff with my current wardrobe to give a classic look which is simply hard to trace and one of a kind.


A classic 1930's gown, $1400 frrom Dorothy's




I still love the royal touch of art and elegance in these evergreen pieces, it never fades away....instant the grace  just spawns over the time. I have an hourglass figure, I love the figure hugging modest silhouettes of these classic times. I love the silk, georgette and chiffon, they just fall so beautifully on my body and look so beautiful. The hand work which is almost impossible to find now a days, is the main reason,vintage clothing takes my breathe away.


I loved Penelope's Vintage Balmain 1950's Gown!
Mostly people really can't think about wearing second hand garments of someone they don't know, which is quite obvious but you can still adapt the vintage style. In many shops like Mod Cloth, Zara, etc, you get newly made vintage style dresses. Here are my few favorites...

From Zara, $30

Bold EyeShadow....



Style is eternal, its individual and personal. It reflects your ideas, thoughts and personality. If you can dare to be bold and different then try this bold eye shadow make up. They can go with any skin type which is the best  
part. The electric blue or reddish eye shadow can go with any skin tone. If you want to look unique or you feel your eyes are not so attractive, then this is just right for you. Here is the step by step guide to put this eye shadow....










1. Start by prepping the eye with an eye primer.  You may opt to use a cream shadow as a base, however, keep in mind that if your base has shimmer it will show through your eye 
shadow or you can you a white base.


2. Use a tapered shadow brush to pack color onto the center of the lip. Focusing on the center will give just the right pop without being overwhelming.  Do not sweep on the color; simply pat the color on to the lid softly.

3. Once the color is on the lid, use that same brush to diffuse it and eliminate the any harsh edges.

4. To give this eye makeup extra oomph, line the lower lash line using a small smudge brush. Finish by applying a coat of mascara to the top and bottom lashes.


For lower eyelid, you can use another complimenting color or the same color as well.  Turquoise, electric blue and peacock green are my personal favorite, I have cooler skin tone. But they go well with all skin tones. So, Girls, try this make up for a date night or a dinner..... Compliment it with nude or red lips.

Go Office in Style!!

          


      I think it can be very boring going to office everyday in same formal clothes, going to the same cabin, working on the same table!!If this is your current life style, then we need to spice it up with our bright ideas!!  Women often wonder what stylish girls wear to office or how can I change the work place to something interesting , new and fun!! We have all the solutions now and we will tell you!! I think mostly people don't like to dress up because they are shy and under confident that they can't pull on something different from the crowd or they are too ignorant and lazy or they really don't know what to do! 


If you stay in a cold place, prefer to buy 5-6  stylish coats or jackets. These are gems of every girl's wardrobe. They last for a lifetime, so its worth it!!


       First of all, I will make one thing clear, if you are into fashion, that does not imply you are dumb, its all about creativity, how well you put things together and I must tell you, not everyone is blessed with that gift! So, just know your inner side and express yourself by your clothing. If you want to look feminine, wear classic silhouettes, if you want to look powerful, try androgynous look. You can look modest, simple yet stylish. I don't know why people think that simple can't be stylish. You must know and understand your work environment. If you are a doctor, we won't recommend you to wear dark colors but still you can look classy by wearing a silk blouse(ivory, light blue, baby pink, etc) with pants(try different stitches). If you work in business wear androgynous, if you work in IT, you can wear bright colors! Here are a few ideas to spice up your professional life!
Try belting your trench or dress for a more stylish look! 


Simply being creative and stylish keeps you going the whole day, just the thought of looking great refreshes you!


Add gold to your closet. Its not only classic but also very stylish!


           
Try different patterns, to start with polka dot is great!! 


Get an embroided shirt!!


Try the Slip or Maxi dress as well!!


Try colorful blouses!!


Classic vest and trouser is hot!


Flares are the hottest trend this season!!








                   Try renewing your office by adding a few personal things in your cabin. Convert those boring plain walls of your cabin by adding a few colored papers from Michaels. Put a few small plants, like bamboo and orchids, which will bring you a smile everytime you look at them!! Personalize your office walls by adding personal inspiring notes & pictures!! Put  few photo frames around!! Get a few lamps as well or you can add a chime!! But Don't Make it look unprofessional, keep it clean. There are times when your senior may come to your cabin, so don't over do it. One small plant, 1 lamp, two photo frames and a vase of silk flowers will look great!!

Stylish Look For Office!!

Hi Fashionistas,
I have got serious now with tons of lectures from my elders about my funky clothings this evening(the elder being my husband!!), so I designed this look while he went on with his philosophy and mantras... This look is office appropriate but can be worn at any day time moment(like shopping, girls day out, casual day out!).







I hope you like what you see, if you do follow our blog!!
