How to make big feet appear small

People regularly complain about how big their feet are, and then try to find ways to make them look smaller.

The first fact you need to know is that your feet are probably not as big or as wide as you think and others are not as critical of your feet as you are.

However, if you still think you need to make them look smaller, then keep these tips in mind before you buy your next pair of shoes.Flats

Heeled shoes vs flat shoes
Heels make your feet look smaller although they may not be as good for your feet or body. The good news is that chunky heels and wedges usually accomplish this better than stiletto heels, and they're typically much easier to wear.

The heel height doesn't factor in quite as much on men's shoes, since there isn't that much of a variance. But typically styles that show just a hint of sole around the upper of the shoe will make your feet look shorter.

To make feet look small
For women, buckles, bows, lace overlays, and detailing make feet appear more petite. Guys who want their feet to look smaller should check out shoes with tassels, and straps that cross the shoe closer to the toes than the leg.

Dark coloured shoes Silk Scarves

Shoes in darker colours will make your feet appear smaller than shoes in light or pastel shades, but don't feel like you just have to stick to black. In addition to darker earth tones and grays, deeper versions of red, blue, purple and green will serve you better than their lighter-toned counterparts.

Avoid skimpy sandals
Strappy sandals expose a lot of the foot and will make anyone's foot look larger, but showing a little bit of your foot can work to your advantage. To break the monotony of just wearing closed shoes, women can try peep-toes, D'Orsays or sling-backs. Warm Scarves

Round toes instead of pointy toes
Pointy-toed shoes can make even the daintiest of feet appear long. Since they're usually very close-fitting, they also make the foot look thinner.Wool Scarves

These shoes could be good for you if you think you have wide feet, but if it's the length of your feet that is keeping you up at night, you definitely want to steer clear of slim shoes with pointy toes. The same goes for guys, so avoid bicycle toes.  Facebook page : dreamcoo

Tips to select the perfect handbag

Bags are such that women cannot do without. There are some that accentuates your physique while some are utilatarian. See what suits your personality and what looks good with your physique. Tanya Datta finds out

The way we accessorise our outfit is as important as the clothes we wear. It would not be wrong to say that women especially tend to notice such things. When we want to draw someone's attention to ourself, we want it drawn to the best feature in us. The size and style of our purse can be a critical decision in this process. It is interesting to note that where our bag meets our body determines where the eyes will be drawn.

One should try not to take a bag which is glaringly different from the rest of the outfit, but something that blends in beautifully. And of course it has to be spacious since it is said that a woman carries her household in her handbag! Optimally, the color and design of your handbags should be versatile enough to go with more than one outfit.

Ways to go in for the perfect bag:
1. If you are overly abundant from the waist down, then the best strategy for you is to select a small purse with a short strap. This type tucks in nicely under the arm, draws the observer's eye upward, and doesn't add any to the lower half.

2. If you are a little heavy on the top, then a larger bag with a longer strap that takes the attention away from your bosom will do nicely. Mid Heel Sandals

3. For the thin and sleek body, a large bag will add a to the thin body type.

4. For women who are well endowed everywhere, a smaller bag with a hint of color or a subtle pattern may do the trick. You may want to use a purse that has a short to medium length strap. This way, you can focus the attention to the upper half of your body rather than the full view. Super High Heel Sandals


5. For that perfect hourglass body, you have numerous choices. Anything goes for this woman, as long as it goes with the outfit!
Super High Heels  
Keep in mind that you have already placed a big investment in time and money into the selection of your outfit. Maximize its effect by taking care with the accessories that you add. Remember that a perfect outfit coupled with perfect accessories equals a perfectly eye appealing portrait of you.  Facebook page : dreamcoo

Mix and match clothes with right hairstyles

If side ponytails or braids look perfect with casual wears, fishtail braids or low buns gel well with corporate dressing, says expert and suggests different hairstyles for different occasions.

Ishika Taneja, makeup, hair expert and Executive Director at Alps Beauty Clinic, suggests hair styles and also advises on choosing right hair accessories to glamorous look. Wool Scarves

oo.com/sandals-low-heel-sandals-c-1000131_1000176_1000188.html">Low Heel Sandals

Hairdo with Casual Wear: If you are going out for shopping or movie, opt for hairstyles that go well with natural texture of your hair and require minimum use of hair products. Easy and effortless hairdos such as side ponytails, low chignon knots, and braids complemented with stylish accessories work best during monsoon. You can also let your hair open and backcomb it using a stylish hair band. Flats

Hairdo with Corporate Wear: A crisp, simple style with a slick finish seems perfect for corporate attire. You can go for high ponytails, side slick, fishtail braids and low buns. It looks elegant and is easy to maintain. If you have shoulder length thick straight hair, you can opt for side-swept ponytail as it's effortless and looks great with formal outfits. Side-pinned curls, voluminous ponytail and pinned-up ends with headband are other options to choose from. High heel Pumps

  

Hairdo with Ethnic Wear: A dishevelled side bun, curls with side partition or teased braids are ideal hair styles that go well with ethnic wear like saris, churidaars and lehengas. You can also go with loose hair pulled to one side with huge accessory adorning the other side. Mid heel Shoes

Hair accessory: Decorative combs, barrettes, jewelled clips, colourful pins and headbands are a big hit with women nowadays. It not only transforms your hairstyle, but also makes it look glamorous. Best part about the blingy accessories is that they can be your biggest saviours on a bad hair day.

5 tips to avoid fashion bloopers

Remember these tips to avoid committing some serious fashion crimes

A faux pas, at times, seems inevitable even to the trendsetters of the fashion circuit. But certain know-how's about being modish are important lest you be fined for a style-crime. Here's a basic 'what-not-to-do' so you can stay away from not being a part of the fashion savvy.Fashion Necklaces

1. Right clothes for the wrong do: Never overdress or under-dress wherever you may be. Imagine walking in a flowy blue gown, looking prim and proper, but only to meet friends at a cafe; surely calls to be blacklisted on the style file. Keep in mind, stay casual or formal, according to the event you are to attend.

Fashion Earrings

 2. Too tight for the skin: The eye sore women can be when they wear skin-tight clothing! And we sure know you aren't comfortable in the same, so why wear them in the first place?

3. Undies that don't compliment your garment: Yes, if you're calling for attention (of the wrong kind), consider doing the same. But otherwise, wearing ill-fitted undergarments, exposed bra straps, an unflattering visible panty line, or a coloured bra that will clearly peek-a-boo (imagine white undergarment under a black dress), is highly avoidable.

4. Sneakers with the wrong clothes: We know the feet hurt on attempting to wear those sky heels, but all those ladies who team up sneakers with the corporate look, or worse, with traditional Indian clothes (yes, we've seen offenders wearing salwar-kurta with sneakers) you should know, they were meant to be used while working out.  Facebook page : dreamcoo

Handbag essentials for you

Rather than tons of makeup and the three-week-old gum, make sure your bag contains the following first.Low Heel Sandals 


Ironically, while most women dump junk in their handbags, it's the most essential things like water or medicines that they forget to carry. Here's a checklist...

Sunscreen
Applying sunscreen before you leave the house is a must, but you need to reapply it every couple of hours. Carry a bottle or tube in your handbag and use it whenever you step out. Remember that sun damage can cause tanning, premature ageing and even skin cancer. Also, don't forget your sunglasses.

Water
No matter how long or short your journey is going to be - carry a bottle of water wherever you go. Keep yourself hydrated throughout the day if you don't want to end up feeling lethargic and tired.  Flat Sandals

Healthy snacks
There are times when you want to eat anything that comes your way. But stop yourself and go for a healthy snack instead. Keep junk food cravings at bay by carrying simple healthy snacks in your bag. Some options include dry fruits, unsalted nuts and roasted chickpeas. High Heel Sandals

Hand sanitiser
Your hands touch hundreds of things everyday. And most aren't as clean as you'd like to believe. Good hygiene plays an important role. From office restrooms to computers, ATMs to public transport services, you are in constant contact with something. Carry a small, handy bottle of hand sanitiser with you and use it as often as you deem fit.

Medicine
Do you carry basic medication with you in case of emergencies? Pain killers, tablets for fever, headaches and tummy upsets, band-aids and ointments for cuts should always be there in your handbag.

Books and music
Travelling is a way of life in cities. And to keep yourself entertained during long commuting hours, ensure that you carry a good book or nice music. Alternatively, you could solve puzzles or play games that stimulate your mind. Studies also claim that listening to music improves immunity and lowers stress levels.  Facebook page : dreamcoo

Right from evading seniors to hanging out with the coolest gangs, young Jaipurites are leaving no stones unturned to make an impression on their first day. Fashion Backpack

And the youngsters look all set to make a style statement of their own.

Simple-yet-chic fashion tips for monsoon

A change of season calls for a change of wardrobe, and as the monsoon spell plays on fresh and colourful vibes, make your clothes evoke the haute look in this wet season! Fashion Summer Boots

Colours: Monsoon 2013 is all about lively yet subtle colours. One can experiment with bright pastels such as deep greens, sea colours, deep beige, olive green, light copper, blues, pinks, indigo, peach, light purple and lemon yellow.Ankle Boots

Cuts and silhouettes: Asymmetrical tunics and dresses are a hit this season. Vibrant ombre-dyed kaftans are also a great option. The silhouette should be clean, the cut should not have too many layers or too many tailoring details that make the garment look messy and untidy. Wear simple shirts and kurtis that are easy to wear. Well-cut dresses with short hemlines are very apt for monsoon clothing. Substitute your long dupattas with soft cotton scarves as they are easy to manage and more likely to keep you warm.wedgies

Fabrics: It is best to avoid denims and materials that bleed colour. Soft cottons and poly-fabrics are the best bet. Nylons, cotton blends, mixed fabrics, blended cottons and nets are the fabrics for monsoon. You need something that dries fast and keeps you warm at the same time. No crepes or chiffons as these don't keep up well in the wet weather and get crinkled easily. Floral prints would be another option for a cloudy day.

How to wear pearl jewellery

While diamonds are a girl's best friend, pearls are said to be classy jewels for elderly women or brides! But you can also make a fashion statement with a string of pearls too, provided you wear them the right way.High heel Pumps

As hair accessories: If you don't want to wear grandma's string of pearls in your neck, you can sport this fashion, more stylishly, in your hair! Bobby pins decorated with pearl are a great option. You can enhance your evening up-do with a few of these pins. If you are artistic, buy a few plain pins, some faux pearls in the colours of your choice and stick them with super glue in patterns of your choice.Wool Scarves

Pearls with denims: If you want to posh up your casual jeans, just add some pearl jewellery to your look. Choose a pair of well-fitted black skinnys, suitable heels, a solid colour silk blouse and a blazer. Accessorise this look with a double string of delicate looking pearls! Flats

Opt for coloured pearls: If you don't want to go for classic white pearls, why not choose faux pearls that come in variety of colours and sizes. From neon to pastel shades, you can select the pearls of your choice and make necklaces, bracelets or earrings. This will add a special, personal touch to your outfit.Mid heel Shoes

Fabrics to keep you cool

Summer calls for cool clothing. While short may be what one comes to the mind automatically, the underlying fact is that one needs to choose fabrics wisely, too.Silk Scarves

Here are some fabrics that can help make this season a lot cooler:

Seersucker: Soft and easy, this all-cotton fabric makes the cut as one of the topmost choices. It also has the quality to soak sweat and allows body heat to escape.Fashion Backpack

Linen: Again, like cotton, it allows body heat to escape and soaks sweat. Strong and durable, it also is lighter than most other summer-friendly fabrics.

Khadi: If the West has linen, India offers its own variation, Khadi. This light fabric, again, doesn't retain body heat and dries quickly.Fashion Scarves

Madras: This popular cotton-mix fabric, usually used for men's clothing, has slowly crept into the androgynous clothing sphere.

Silk: The purer varieties of silk can make for good evening-wear options. Lighter than most fabrics, they don't retain body heat.

Accessories for men

Make your formal and casual outfits pop with this season's key pieces.

Accessories are underrated. If shoes make the man, accessories make (or break) the look. Whether you've hoisted your trousers up with a studded belt or chosen diamond cuff-links for a formal suit-and-tie party, accessories are the key to expressing your individuality.

They enhance the most basic outfits, so you can mix-and-match them to create new looks every time. This saves you a load of cash spent on overhauling your wardrobe every few months. If chosen and teamed carefully, they can connect individual elements into a seamless whole. This season's trendiest men's accessories are worth investing in. Here are a few to hunt down on your next shopping trip. Ankle Boots

The holdall
Used to describe a large, strong and luxurious bag with handles, the holdall is currently the 'it' bag for men on ramps in Milan and New York. It is equally suitable for long flights and weekend trips since it sits comfortably into overhead compartments and car boots. Some of the current versions come with detachable shoulder straps and zip pockets on the inside. The holdall is apt for the busy modern man who likes to take off to the great outdoors at a moment's notice. wedgies

The printed silk tie
Give the pinstripe tie a well-deserved break. Infuse some colour into the dull conference room by wearing a printed silk tie. Playful floral and geometric patterns pair well with slim-fit suits. Choose a subdued colour to bring in a sense of maturity. Unless you have the charm to carry off print-on-print, don't wear a printed shirt with a printed tie. Fashion Summer Boots
The gauzy scarf
Give the standard kurta-pyjama a sophisticated flair with a lightweight scarf in a contrasting colour. You can brighten up the generic jeans-and-tee staple with a printed scarf. Or loop a striped scarf around your neck and tuck it inside your jacket for a sexy, masculine take on the trend. Drape it, sling it over your shoulder, or double wrap it; whichever way you wear the gauzy scarf, it works!
The leather bracelet High Leg Boots
Male accessories for pure ornamental value are tricky. One accessory that gets high marks for masculinity this season is the leather bracelet. It is subtle, discreet, modern and versatile. The styles vary from woven and braided to double wrapped.

Palazzo pants make an impact

One trend that has caught on recently is that of palazzo pants. A tad different from the very comfortable harem pants, palazzos have now made it to both formal and casualwear.High heel Pumps
A lot of the B-Town ladies have been spotted sporting these outfits lately. Puja was seen sporting palazzos in style at the promotions of her latest film.
Here are some tips for you to keep in mind when you choose to dress up in these pants:
Play with fits: Always choose a not-so-loose fitting top, preferably something that is tiny to pair up with these anti-fit garments. This adds balance to your look.Warm Scarves
Go for printed tops: Since these pants are usually monochrome, even if they have prints, the best way to ensure you bring the focus on your outfit would be through wearing a top of contrasting print. Florals, especially, will be the best option, considering the Bohemian nature of the outfit.Wool Scarves

No high heels: Always try to steer away from pointed heels, when you're wearing loose fitting garments. Practically, it could be hazardous as you might end up tripping. Wedges and flats make the ideal footwear choice for these pants.
Accessorise less: Since these pants add character, try and choose accessories that will not take the focus from your outfit. Using a simple single accessory, like Puja (in the picture), can work wonders. Flats

Play with hairstyles: You can choose to let your hair loose, with a funky hair clip or accessory or you could opt to do something exciting — like plaits or braids. The Boho nature of the outfit ensures the freedom to play around.
Bag it right: Another important factor is to ensure you choose the right bag to match this outfit A clutch or a bowling bag wouldn't be the best option. Instead, go for something funkier, like large totes.

Wear it right

Worried about too much skin, or too little? A fashion-and-budget-conscious traveller offers help on dressing appropriately.

It might come as a surprise to many of you that the most common question asked of a travel and fashion blogger isn't about staggeringly beautiful places or unusual street food; it is about packing for 'conservative' countries, like Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, Tunisia, Oman, Kenya. The universally accepted solution to this dilemma seems to be a pair of denims. I don't like that solution. Answer me this would you be happy to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich everywhere you went? No? Then why wear jeans in every country you visit? Wearing a turban in Africa, ethnic prints in Morocco, and breton stripes in France heightens the travel experience in the same way as sampling a tagine in Morocco, scouring Foie Gras in France, or devouring Bunny Chow in South Africa. If you are travelling this year, try to incorporate kitschy prints, quirky accessories, and colourful scarves into your wardrobe.Dress

Colourful scarves in Lanzarote (Dec 2012)

Now, this can be your best friend in conservative places. Just pop it in your bag and use it to cover your head, shoulders, or legs, if need be. We suggest packing colourful tie-and-dye scarves — layer them with maxi dresses, shirts, and vests to create stunning, avant-garde looks for times when you're not wrapping them around a leg.Cosplay Wigs

For instance, I carried a number of scarves and necklaces on my trip to Lanzarote, a tiny island just off the coast of Africa in December last year. I used a bright bandhini scarf to pull my hair out of the way on a hot day. I've also had to use scarves to cover my neck in Marrakech, head at the Sultanahmet Mosque in Istanbul and shoulders at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaeo) in Bangkok.Women Wigs

Statement accessories in Lanzarote (Dec 2012)

Pack your choicest ethnic accessories to lend interest to lightweight and simple ensembles. We suggest bejewelled wrist cuffs, rings, and tribal necklaces. Longdraped necklaces and turquoisehued rings are perfect to dress up a flowy maxi dress. Don't be scared to clash colours and layer necklaces on holiday — it accentuates the bohemian look.Silk Scarves
Scourge for accessories not just online, but at flea markets to nab a bargain on ethnic and vintage jewels. Follow your gut instead of pandering to trends. Wear a bejewelled cummerbund to accentuate your waist, pile on armlets to add interest to your torso, or a bright headscarf to draw attention to your face.

The way you hold your bag says a lot about you

A body language expert has given an insight into a woman's life and personality by the way she holds her handbag.

In an infographic created by Refinery29, Patti Wood describes the difference between the Schlepper, the Arm-Crook Hook and the Baguette, among others, the Daily Mail reported.

If you embrace the Schlepper style, for example, you might have several bags, carried in a "wherever fits" manner. wedgies

Wood said that it means you're fatigued, exhausted, and in a rush.

The bags suggest you're a little spaced-out and having a hard time being present, she said.

The A-list-loved Arm-Hook Crook, by contrast, screams empowerment. And it certainly doesn't hurt if you have a designer number to demonstrate it.

She said that you wear the bag as if it's a badge of honour or an award.

You feel as if you've got a sense of superiority, she said. Ankle Boots

Some are specific to a style of bag. The Twofer - when a woman holds her clutch with both hands across her front - indicates shyness, or defensiveness. Not ideal if you happen to be out at a party.

Instead, consider the Baguette - when a bag is held under one arm like a clutch, regardless or whether there is a strap or not. Fashion Summer Boots

Wood calls it a "utilitarian look, and you don't really care about the bag, but rather what's in it. You're goal-oriented."

What your footwear says about you

Your footwear, too, tells a thing or two about you. That's why it is essential to mind it

If you're gearing up for a date with a trendy outfit, but aren't terribly bothered about the shoes, think again. It could just bring your budding romance to a premature, juddering halt as that minor but important detail sticks out sorely if you get it wrong. Women can be judgmental and often, shoes have proven to be a rather disturbing distraction. After all, who wants a date with a guy who's dressed to give you a memo?

Here is a low down of what kind of shoes you sport say about your personality and the styles that are en vogue:

Keds
Keds or sneakers reflect a peppy and energetic personality. Perhaps a bit brash too. With keds in nice colours like grey, guys can match them with a variety of colours. For a more trendy and stylish look, fold up your jeans and trousers.

Pointy-toed lace-ups
These are clearly the ugliest of the lot and could do with banishment. The trend is to wear narrow trousers and sport slim fits, so it doesn't help if your footwear sticks out by four feet. Perhaps the ugliest footwear is where the nose of the lace-ups is turned up. People who wear these shoes show that they are completely unaware of themselves and their surroundings. Such people should be remanded in fashion police custody.Hair Accessory

White running shoes
White sports shoes are meant for sports. Keep it that way. It's just lazy and shows that the person is not interested in the way he looks, if he is found pairing them with anything he wears. Also, it's impossible for them to stay white in a dirtmagnet city like ours.Fashion Backpack

Boots
Unless they are lace-ups and go no further than the ankle, they just show that the person is unaware of the environment he is in. For summers, this is hardly an option, but winters and at times during monsoons on a clear day, this is a viable option. When a man insists on wearing shoes that go past his ankles, he is trying hard to make an extreme style statement - following a fad for the sake of it.

Sandals/flip flops
Sandals, flip-flops and Kolhapuri chappals show a lackadaisical personality. In today's competitive environment, you need to look sharp and good. People tend to size you up on the basis of these details. Such casual footwear says that people are not taking care of themselves. People with uncut nails, ugly or dirty feet should be the first to cover up!Fashion Scarves

Brogues
Brogues tend to be mature and elegant, if a bit boring. They can be paired with trousers or to dress down, combine them with jeans slightly cut-off.

Avoid the boo-boos
The designer suggests that you go with loafers as they're in. They're available in many colours, and people who can carry them off suggest a more confident personality. If you're going clubbing with your date, something slightly sporty works. A bit of sheen and colours will add the right dramatic touch to your look. If it's a date at a nice restaurant, go for a pair of shoes with a soft front, which are slightly rounded.

Footwear care in the rains

It's not only your feet but also your footwear that require good care in the monsoon season. Here's how to make make them water resistant

The onset of rains not only spells disaster for your feet, but also for your footwear. While gum boots and rubber shoes are much preferred during the season, an occasion might require you to wear leather shoes, ballet flats or even wedges that need to be made water resistant. Not to mention, the expensive footwear that you've stored at the back of your closet also needs to be waterproofed. "All kinds of shoes require extra care during the rains. Different types of shoes develop different issues due to the exposure to muck and retention of moisture in the shoe for prolonged duration," says Sandeep Gajakas, founder of a professional shoe laundry service. Flats

Dry them up
During rains, the humidity in the weather leads your feet to sweat more making the inside of the shoes soggy and smelly. "This leads to fungus growth and stench in shoes. As a result, your feet may develop skin problems. Soiled or wet shoes should be wiped with a clean moist cloth. If you wear sports shoes in the rains, dry them by loosening the laces," says Gajakas. High heel Pumps

However, drying shoes under direct sunlight or using any heat source could do more damage than good as it can fade your footwear. "Leave the shoes to dry under the fan," he adds. Mid heel Shoes

Leather woes
According to footwear designers, leather footwear needs the most amount of care during rains. "Water can destroy the suppleness of your shoe's leather. Once it permeates the leather itself, it will not only discolour but also weaken the top layers and damage the finish of your shoe," says bespoke men's footwear designer, Nirali Ruparel.

While you should try and avoid leather footwear completely during this season, if absolutely necessary, clean and waterproof your leather shoes with a deep pore wax leather polish before putting them on. "Wax based polishes create a thin protective layer that provides light resistance to water and salt," says Ruparel.

Use heel condoms and galoshes to protect your stilettos
Quite a rage abroad, heel condoms are funky shoe accessories that not only glam up your stilettos but can also protect your expensive footwear from rain. However, make sure you buy rain friendly heel condoms. Meanwhile, galoshes, commonly known as rubber boots, are a type of overshoes that can be slipped over your footwear to prevent them from getting muddy. Ankle Boots

Tips to take care of your footwear
- Don't allow muck to dry or harden on any kind of shoes. Wipe it off.
- Do not keep footwear in closed cabinets without completely drying them.
- Don't throw away old, spare shoes that are still wearable. Get them treated before the rains begin as they will get you through these few months.
- Get a thorough cleaning done once every few months or when the shoes have become filthy.
- Always wear clean socks.
- Try sticking to rubber footwear and avoid wearing expensive shoes.

Get the right dancing shoes

Women's ballroom dance shoes usually have straps across the arch of the foot. A snug heel fit for extra support is ideal and the heel should be tightly strapped.

Heel height is limited to 3 inches for European dances (the waltz and foxtrot) and 2 inches for Latin dances (tango or rumba). Many women choose to wear closed toed shoes to protect their toes. Latin dancers typically wear open-toed shoes or strappy sandals. A good tip is not to ever wear your ballroom dance shoes on the street — the rough surface and dirt will wear them out quickly. Carry them in your bag and put them on when you get to class or to the ballroom. Black is the most popular for dance shoes but many women choose flesh-colored shoes, as they help extend the leg line. Suede soles are ideal as they provide the right combination of grip and slide. 'Character' shoes are medium weight, heeled shoes often used for jazz dancing.

Which handbag should I buy?

Spoilt for choice when you go shopping for bags? Only five handbags are really necessary!
If you are looking at paring down your style essentials or buying only the best accessories this season, the handbag is a good place to begin. Wool Scarves
Every woman needs to own five handbags, say fashionistas, so while you can upgrade your bags over various seasons, always make sure that you own the five styles that are the classics.
The first and the most important one is the carry all tote, which should be able to contain everything you need, right from your lipgloss to the novel you are currently reading. This is best in a neutral colour or in subdued prints. Anything too bright, flashy and large can add to your girth too, so buy these totes in soft shades only. Fashion Backpack
The second essential in your handbag wardrobe should be a pretty clutch. Here you could go in for two variations - something with ethnic motifs to suit Indian clothes, and a regular clutch to go with all the rest of your going-out-for-a-party attire. Silk Scarves
The third handbag that should always be kept handy should be the overnight bag that you can carry when you can travel. It is best to buy this whenever you find a beautiful piece so that you are not scrambling to stuff all your essentials into plastic bags or an ugly airbag if an overnight trip comes up suddenly.
With environment consciousness being top of everyone's mind, the canvas tote or cloth bag is the fourth essential bag to own. But you need not use any old cloth bag to make your point. Sandals  The stores are now full of pretty bags with interesting patterns or motifs to make you look attractive even when you shop.
The fifth bag that you might like to own is the 'impress people' classic handbag. This should be your one big splurge, created by a designer or a fashion house you admire and you could sport this handbag on important occasions, like a big interview, an important meeting or even a coffee morning with the celebrities in town.

Earrings for your face shape

It's time to flaunt the best accessory! Whatever may be your face type, there is always an earring to compliment your face
There are some general rules that we delve into while selecting the right earring for your face type. Shalini Mehta, Apparel Designer & Film Stylist, says, "Most Indian women have an oval or round face. Straight edgy earrings are best suited for them. People with a heart-shape face could also go in for the straight ones, since it adds length. Further, square faced women could go in for rounded, oval accessories which are also very trendy."  Fashion Jewelry
Oval face
You have the most versatile face shape and you can sport almost anything! Soft shapes like teardrops, pearls, studs and ovals are the most recommended. Remember to choose something which will be in proportion to your head size and body scale.
Celebrities - Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Anniston, Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, Madhuri Dixit, Priyanka Chopra
Round face  Fashion Brooches
You should wear longer earrings which will add some angle to your face. Angular, long and lean earrings are the best. Dangles, ovals and bold angular studs would also suit your face type.
Celebrities - Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Preity Zinta
Heart - shaped face  Hair Accessory
Your face is more similar to the oval one, but is narrower below the cheekbones and pointed at the chin with a wider forehead. You should opt for earrings which are wider at the bottom. Ovals and teardrops are the best ones for you. You can also sport the pyramid style earrings for a trendier look.
Celebrities - Sohie Dahl, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Rani Mukherjee, Sonakshi Sinha
Square face 
You should opt for earrings which are longer than they are wide. Earrings with curves at the bottom, small circular earrings, large oval shapes are the best for you. Fashion Earrings
Celebrities - Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore, Isabella Rosellini, Amrita Arora, Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor

Ladies guide to online clothes shopping

With every brand, sizing varies so much that you can easily have different sizes for different brands. Read on to know how to measure yourself for online shopping
To get started, all you need is a soft tape measure for measurements and a pen and a paper to write down your measurements. Save them somewhere you won't lose it. Now, it's time to measure.
If you're buying a top
- First, measure your bust at the fullest part of your chest. It should be somewhere between 31 and 42 inches. Fashion Earrings     - Then measure your natural waist. Remember to keep your tape a bit loose. The term 'natural waist' refers to the smallest part of your midsection (not your hips).
- Next, refer to the sizing chart below. Match up the closest combination of your bust and your natural waist to find your size and numeric size. (Some websites have petite, tall, and plus sizing charts. Be sure to apply your measurements to the correct chart.)
If you're buying pants Fashion Necklaces    - Measure your natural waist, as earlier; remember to keep your tape a bit loose.
- Measure your hips at the fullest part of your body at the top of your leg. If you can't figure out where your hips hit, try measuring about seven inches below you  r waist.
- Then, measure your in seam, starting at the crotch seam and ending at the bottom of your leg. Your inseam will help you buy pants that fit well and let you decide if you need to opt for a size that specifies a 'tall' or 'regular' inseam. If you are petite, you might be able to tell if you will need your pants hemmed.
- Match up your waist and hip measurements with the chart below to find the best fit. It's not only about the correct size, it's important to know the fabrics and materials of the items you are considering before deciding on a purchase. If your measurements say that you are a small size but you like your t-shirts to be a little roomy, then don't buy a small-sized cotton t-shirt. Cotton shrinks.
*The charts show US sizes.
Top three online shopping tips Silk Scarves- Stay away from fishy-looking websites. Red flags include poor design, strange web addresses and multiple pop-up windows you can't close. If you see any of these, then simply close the browser window.
- Avoid clicking on hyperlinks embedded in emails. Legitimate businesses don't send email asking for follow-up financial information. If any email asks you to visit an outside site, don't do it — it could be redirecting you to a scam site.

Fashion has 'wear-by' date

Women love trying new trends, but a research suggests that certain outfits should be avoided by women of certain age groups as fashion comes with a wear-by date.
Women should ditch belly-bearing crop tops by the age of 34, and avoid showing off midriffs in bikinis as soon as they reach 40, reveals the study conducted by All-Bran Five Day Challenge, reports femalefirst.
Miniskirts, hotpants and belly button piercings should also be avoided after mid-thirties. And it's not just crop tops and bikinis that the over-30s need to avoid, with the miniskirt being labelled as "too old" for those aged 37 or above, even hot pants should be ditched at 35.  Fashion Backpack
Ruth Gresty, spokeswoman for the All-Bran Five Day Challenge, said: "People may say, 'If you've got it, flaunt it,' but it seems that this isn't always the case for some of our wardrobe staples."
"It's alarming that the crop top or bikini is causing such widespread 'midriff mayhem', and women actually believe it should come with some kind of a wear-by date. Ultimately, it should come down to how confident you feel about your stomach and body - if you have worked hard to maintain a flat tum, you should be able to show it off."  High Heel Sandals
"But for some women, a flat, less bloated tummy can prove elusive no matter how many stomach crunches they do and mean they aren't comfortable in revealing clothes as they get older. However the secret can be as simple as making a few small dietary changes like eating a fibre rich breakfast cereal every day, which is proven to ease bloating and that swollen tum look," Gresty added.
The study conducted on 2,000 women also found that leggings should be avoided after one reaches 37 years of age and stilettos are a complete no-no if you are 41-plus.
Belly button piercings should be removed by the time you turn 35, while long hair should be given a chop at 42 for a shorter, more "mature" look.  Super High Heels
As many as 27 percent believed that ladies should stop shopping in younger clothes stores like Topshop and Miss Selfridge once they reach their early forties.
Over a fifth of those polled said they would put age aside and show off their body if they had a flatter or less bloated looking tummy like celebrities, but admitted they found it incredibly hard to achieve.
Another 16 percent believe in the mantra, "if you've got it, flaunt it".
It also emerged that it's not just women who should put limits on their wardrobe, as the results also showed that men should quit their beloved football shirts at the age of 25.  Fashion Brooches
Researchers also found that women are taking the lead from celebrities, with 67 per cent of those surveyed said that famous females are making it more acceptable for women to wear belly-bearing clothes after a certain age.
"Thankfully, it seems like the celebs have got it sussed when it comes to understanding the relationship between feeling good on the inside and looking great and are not afraid to show off their midriffs- whatever their age," Gresty added.

Style 101 for men

Here are some quick tips to be stylish for you guys that you don't see very often.
Fashion comes and goes, style is timeless. True. So listen up guys, here are some basic style tips for all of you, including what you must have in your closet, shopping advice and more. Read on to keep it stylish.
Fit is king
We are not only talking about your fitness, but also about you clothes. Most guys wear clothes that are too big for them. Make sure everything you have in your closet almost takes the shape of your body, not hug, but just falls comfortably. Bad fit is a disease, cure it!
Keep it simple  High Heel Sandals
Though you must have a wardrobe that looks great on you, don't overdo it. You must never wear more than three pieces of jewellry or more than three colours. Also, the rockstar look is passe, unless you're in a band or a fancy dress competition. If you're looking for flashy, then go for a simpler but stylish look. Sport a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer left unbuttoned, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and complete it with your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a flashy watch, but nothing more.
Pay attention to your supporting pieces  Flat Sandals
If you're wearing a sweater, the right cut and size are very important. Some sweaters are big and others are lean. The first rule is to match your top and bottom halves. If you're wearing a big, chunky, rugged sweater, your bottom needs to be rugged too. Don't wear it with a beautiful silk-and-wool suit pant. Instead, wear it with something as casual as cargos or jeans. Fashion Scarves
Casuals
You must change the way you see casuals. It doesn't have to be boring. Go for collared shirts with gingham checks and pair it with chinos.
Stay a notch above
Dare to take some risks, but don't overdo it to a fault. It's always better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in any setting. All you have to do is think about where and who you're going to be with and just step it up one notch. But make sure you're not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain setting, like your boss.
Never shop alone
Guys, you have to admit, you don't know how to shop. You blindly trust the sales people but what you don't know is they just want you to buy something and usually they are working on a commission. Shop with a friend who will give you an honest opinion.
The power of detail
The devil is in the detail. The last thing you put on is usually the first thing noticed. So mind the details instead of throwing together the main parts of your outfit. Detailing can be done through a scarf, a subtle pocket square, or the way you tie knot. Super High Heels  Shoes
Invest in a good pair of shoes. The one thing that women will notice first in you, it's your shoes; especially how clean and sharp they look. Disregarding your shoes will not do you any good, you have to maintain them. Show women you're a great man of taste by getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition.'
Disregard trend
Just because something is 'in' right now, doesn't mean it has to be in your closet. Stick to what you truly like. It's better to learn to build a versatile and timeless wardrobe first — then bring in your own twists with some of the new fashion. This one tip will save you so much money!
Tees with logos
When you're going around with a big logo on your shirt, you risk looking like a walking billboard. Lose the lame logo and go for a classic V-neck tee or something artsy. You'll look much cooler and not brand-conscious.

Dressing up for a job interview in monsoon

The prospect of going for an interview fills us all with both anticipation as well as dread. Neha Karmarkar Joshi lists do's and don'ts when appearing for a job interview during the monsoons  High heel Pumps 

Whether one is going for a walk-in interview or on getting the "call" after their resume has been shortlisted, it is a day that we look forward to - but with butterflies in our stomach!

Worse still, is when you need to attend one while valiantly fighting the rains! It is then that the additional stress of wondering how to manage it all gets added to the emotional cocktail. And rightly so, since we all know how difficult it is to step out of home when the rains are in full swing.

Keeping that in mind, here's a list of do's and don'ts to help simplify your life when preparing for an interview during the monsoons: Super High Heel Sandals

Do's

- Call up the organisation a few hours in advance and confirm that the interview is going ahead as and when scheduled. Also, in case the office is in an unfamiliar area, make sure you confirm the address and jot down a few landmarks as well. This will save you time, money as well as the effort wasted running around in circles figuring out the address at the last minute - all of this while it rains cats & dogs.

- Dress smartly. Yes, it is raining, but that doesn't mean you should show up at an interview in shorts and a t-shirt. The easiest way out is to opt for formal/ semi-formal clothing which is monsoon-smart. For example, wear synthetics which dry faster than cottons, or women can wear skirts instead of trousers.

- Ladies, tie up your hair in a bun, a plait or a sleek ponytail so that even if it gets a little wet while travelling, it doesn't look untidy.

- Keep extra copies of your resume along with any other documents that you need in a plastic folder and carry it with you for the interview. Ensure that the papers are stacked neatly and are protected from the rain. Super High Heel Sandals

- Carry an umbrella without fail! Even if it's sunny when you're leaving home, don't forget that the rains come uninformed.

- Leave at least 30-45 mins earlier than you generally would have, and choose your mode of transport wisely. Low-lying areas can waterlog quickly even if it has only drizzled. If you're going by road, try and avoid these areas since the traffic there will move at a snail's pace. Also, it becomes difficult to get a taxi/ auto-rickshaw if you live in a waterlogged area, or are travelling to one. Hence, take into account that much additional travel time.

Don'ts 

- If the weather is bad, never assume that your interview has been cancelled. Always confirm with the organisation directly. Don't rule the possibility that in all the commotion, they might forget to inform you of any change in plans! - Avoid cotton clothing as far as possible, as it clings when wet. It is inevitable that in the pouring rain your clothes are bound to get a little wet, so prepare accordingly. For example wispy, pastel shirts that become translucent when wet are a big nono. Wool Scarves

- Sadly, an interview is not the place to flaunt fancy shoes you picked up for the monsoons. Wear them while travelling if need be, but ensure you're carrying an additional pair of formal footwear to change into once you reach the office. Easier still, get a pair of all-weather formal footwear!

- Never walk in soaking wet and freezing (plus, the powerful office AC won't help!). This will not only affect the interviewer's opinion, but more importantly it will distract you and you may not be able to give it your best. Carry a towel, pack it well so that it stays dry and wipe yourself once you reach. Then, you're ready to roll!

Ultimately, an interview is an interview no matter what the season. There are just a few more pointers to keep in mind when you're going for one in the rains, that's all. Keep calm, stay focussed and remember that the one thing that is discussed the longest in any interview is you! As long as you know yourself, everything falls into place. Don't forget the cardinal rule of interviews - first impressions usually last the longest!
