Heel The World

Wearing high heels can make you look graceful and feminine with slimmer legs, and flat stomach. Even if you think you’re ‘too tall’ or ‘can’t walk in heels’, think again. Sexy heel is a must have accessory that can transform and add a sense of oomph to any outfit. It can also do wonders for your stride, but walking in high heels is not a natural talent - it's learned skill, perfected by practice and discipline.

Before we learn how to walk, it’s important to learn how to stand. The same principle that works best with the heels - put them on, stand with your back straight. Taking this forward, one should remember that it's all about balance, once you're used to standing still in heels, you should find it easier to walk in them.

Begin with a shoe that has a broad, low heel (2-3 inches) and plenty of support over your foot and on the heel. Start slowly. Keep the pace steady and balance intact by swinging your arms a bit. Practice your pace walking back and forth. Once you're comfortable standing, wear your heels while you're doing stuff around the house. Get used to wearing them in familiar instances like going up and down stairs and lifting and carrying stuff or changing directions. Remember to keep legs close and toes out front for the best sexy heel walk, along with your back straight. Bad posture along with heels can call for a big disaster, so be sure to work on your posture before putting on heels. Walk heel to toe, not toe to heel. Put your heel down first, followed by your toe. This will give you more balance and make your stride look more natural.

You might start with chunky kitten heels first before you go all stilettos. Look for shoes with support like ankle strap or the design that holds your foot comfortably. Once you’ve gained excellence in small kitten heels and wedged heels, it’s time for you to try out the mother of heels. Stiletto heels are also referred to as ‘spike heels’. 3-4 inches will give you all the benefits of wearing high heels.

Give your feet a break. Sit down every twenty minutes or so. Don't take your heels off, this will only allow the pain to worsen. They swell a bit after you take them off, which make it harder to continue after.

Keeping your manicure hip and fresh definitely requires a lot of creativity and skill. Abstract designs can provide a much needed diversity as they are fairly eclectic and, depending on the style selected it might even be easier to create than more elaborate ones. Take a lot a some cute abstract designs for inspiration.

The importance of a beautiful manicure has become unquestionable from a social standpoint. Thanks to modern techniques brought by the beauty industry nowadays our nailscan become true works of art with a twist. With skill, patience and dedication even the simplest designs can be extremely alluring and refined. Abstract nail

designs are very diversified and eclectic being preferred for their simplicity or on the contrary, their complexity.

Since abstract designs are not built by any rules, the designs only depend on your creativity. Using a variety of distinct geometric symbols, dots and curbs as well as various colors is perhaps one of the simplest and most effective ways to create a one of a kind nail design without putting to much effort. Following a precise pattern is recommended to maintain unity; however creative initiatives are always welcomed.

Pre designed nail art can be a suitable choice for those who would rather not put time and effort into creating certain complex patterns themselves. However creating complex patterns becomes easier with experience as long as the right tools are used. Also due to the great variety of techniques that can be applied, creating a seemingly complex pattern might require less work than it might seem at a first glance. Obliviously, things can go the other way around as well.

Aside from selecting an abstract pattern there are also various other ways to create an eclectic nail design. Visual effects can also come in handy especially in case of various techniques such as fading. Mosaic-like designs are also highly appreciated in the case of nail art due to the fact that they are relatively easy to create, especially when kept almost monochrome. With each color added the effect created seems to be more and more complex.

Keeping in mind the fact that abstract nail art is a highly subjective term can help you keep an open mind when it comes to designs. With patterns ranging from complex to simple and basic selecting an alluring design is only a matter of knowing what best suits you and creating it. IF you would rather create the nail design yourself rather than going to a professional, using high quality nail polishes and tools is essential for a top notch result. Get inspired by the designs presented to be able to create one of a kind designs that will show off your personality.

DELHI’S BEST NEW SHOP

Buzzaria

In a city where kitsch is king, a new store with its whimsical wares is sure to create the right buzz. Welcome Buzzaria: a loud mela of kitsch and Indo-Western merchandise.

Mango walls with pink paisley greet you at the entrance. The inside is a mélange of every possible hue. Variously coloured portions of the walls provide a backdrop to the different brands, merging perfectly with the bright merchandise.

After running Tribal Route in Mumbai, owner Mamta Mamta returned to the city with a new store under the umbrella of her mother brand Blue Lotus. Buzzaria has six in-house and over 20 others brands at present. Each range has a different story to tell. If you are in the mood for an ethnic shopping spree, turn to hand-embroidered chappals from BluPear, healing crystals from IamRa, vibrant kaftans with block prints and beadwork from Mimathyma, or brocade silk bikini cholis paired with ghaghra skirts from Meri Jaan.

In a philanthropic mood? The chunky pearl-and-kundan handmade jewellery from Hands On (run by an NGO) or stuffed toy owls made by autistic children are sure to make you feel better about spending. And the rustic home accessories made of guava wood, coconuts shells and other natural materials from EcoStorey certainly get the green signal from us.

However, if kitsch’s your thing, jump with joy, as the store is the first to bring Mumbai brands Quirkbox and Bechain Nagri to our city. Slip into kooky pop-art dresses, shorts and jackets from Quirkbox, give vent to your mixed emotions with T-shirts from Ediots, overdose on Bollywood with bags and clutches from Item Number, and finally, try matching the illustrations of NID designers with your own doodles in notebooks from Bechain Nagri.

Before you decide to make a pit stop at this little shop though, be forewarned that it’s not likely to be a quick stop. And once the store ropes in new brands and expands out to fill its basement and first floors, the hours spent browsing here could lengthen to days.

F- 343 Bhram House, Old MB Road, Lado Sarai (4579-3261). Qutab Minar. Daily 11am-9pm. Products from Rs.25.

Leg It Up

Fashion trends are always inspired by the archetypal types of yesteryears, with the modern glint of skin and sex. And who wouldn’t want to show the glimpses of the long legs that can be the asset to bait few eyes over?

So let’s scan on to few pieces, which you can wear on your waist, thus, enabling your sex appeal to be at riot; just like that…

Feathered Skirts- Feathered skirts make an attention grabbing fashion statement regardless of the season- they are festive, playful, and glamorous. Historically speaking, it's really quite incredible how many noteworthy fashion moments involve feathers. From Pocahontas' quill-bedecked headpiece to flappers' glamorous boas to Bjork's infamous swan dress, plumage-accented pieces always garner plenty of attention.

Feathered Dresses- Feather embellishments are an elegant alternative to a simple cocktail dress. Stars like Blake Lively and Anne Hathaway has showed off their flock of feathers while attending coveted Hollywood movie premieres. Adding on to the spice of elegance yet seductive; these could be your perfect partner in crime for an evening date or party.

High Dress Splits- Let’s face it normal miniskirts are now being out numbered on the catwalk/streets by glamorous maxi dresses. Indeed these dresses are designed for those who are eager to flash some skin when strolling on the red carpet or a special event. The top of the thighs is the spot where the slit ends and crown the overall look of the attire. Stockings can also be embedded in your attire if you want to add a sophisticated flair to your appearance; but do we really want to hide it all?

Hot Pants- Easily one of the most provocative piece of women clothes next to high heels and little black dress. The only disadvantage is that they fit only to slimmer girls with properly built bodies and the most important properly built rear deck. There are two basic models of hot pants- the medium cut and high waist for extremely skinny girls. Medium cut will profoundly show off the good parts and hide unwanted ones. And with evolving fashion, they have come out of their only denim image and can be found in cotton, which is as hot as it gets.

Side Pony Tails

Ponytail hairstyles are a feminine way to pump up the coquette side in you this summer and change some bad hair days into good. Side ponytails are gratifying on ladies with very thin hair. 1980's side pony tail hairstyle was classic and this season they are back again adding a very cute look.

Side pony tail is most appropriate for young girls, but Hollywood and Bollywood stars are seen sporting this hairstyle at red carpets and award functions. Side ponytail is an easy-to-do style, and one can create a more flattering finish. The advantage of a side ponytail is that it can work with just about any face shape or age.

To achieve a side ponytail, all you need to do is pull all of your hair to one side and secure it in a low position, usually behind your ear, with a hair accessory such as an elastic band or hair clip. Boost this simple look by adding some styling ideas. Side ponytails are very popular right now, and look softer and more flattering than your average ponytail.

Make waves with the help of a large barreled curling iron. Then use of hair spray on the hair. Take a small part of hair and wrap around the barrel of a curling iron in an alternative directions. This should be followed by finger combing waves into a ponytail then shield it few inches on the left or right side. For attractive look take a pencil-sized piece of hair from the bottom of the ponytail and bind around the ponytail and lock the end of hair in the band and clutch with the help of a bobby pin. Finally use hair spray for proper side pony tail. You will look stylish and sexier with this type of hairstyle.

To achieve the 80s classic side ponytail look, the hair can be hanged free with curls or waves and protected with back clip or rubber band. Low side pony tail works best for formal dos. It will look very gorgeous and nice with all hair pulled over the shoulder. Side ponytail hairstyles can be completed with straight hair, curly hair and even wavy hair.

Don’t forget to curl the hair to create volume before the actual ponytail is pulled into the hairstyle. While creating the style, curl the bottom section of the hair to ensure that the curls are going to work well in the ponytail.

Men's Prints Fashion Trends

When it comes to menswear sobriety doesn't go with the zeitgeist of the season - fashion is all high on happy pills. The vibrant bonhomie between fashion and frivolity is quite prevalent, as the earlier has divorced tyrannous solids for the latter. In short, fashion is at its playfully rebellious best for the Spring Summer 2012.

The whole laid back Jamaica meets Wall Street vibe with Afro-Asian artisanal flavour is the new love of the designers across the world. From recently concluded Men's day at London Fashion Week to Van Heusen India Men's Week, the designers have a say carpe diem. It's like Cirque du Soleil with splashes of colors creating abstract print extravaganza. From hyper color flora and fauna, to different motifs and paisleys, to wide stripes and checks, the prints have never been as diverse as this time. Designer Manoviraj Khosla, who lately showcased at India Men's Week 2011 concedes, “There is no limit to what and where you can use prints. From clothes to inner wear, to footwear, it works everywhere.

Actually, the stereotypical black and white male lifestyle is fading fast. The new alpha male has no ego burst showing love for his daughter's Malibus and Barbies. He is out and loud with it. Being self-assured of his sexuality, he is comfortable to walk down the crowded street dressed in happy prints. But the line is to drawn somewhere as you might end up looking like Mr. Malibu Doll. Rajvi Mohan quips, I think prints are an essential integration for both innerwear and accessories besides the outerwear but the line should definitely be drawn in mixing too many prints together creating a cluttered look. Use it sparingly as a pocket square or tie against solid textures or even a shirt- but avoid going all print.

She further adds that to go flawless with the trend, use it with a touch of subtlety as a pocket square or tie while being all confident and assured. Though fashion doesn't conform terms like flawless, it's all about hit-trail-and-being-distinct, but somehow it creates wonders if embraced with effortless and understated vibe. Being overwrought robs it of its charm. Manoviraj concludes it by saying, Men should not overdo prints while wearing them. Any one item of clothing should be in a print. It could either be the shirt or jacket or the pants.
