PINK MY OBESSION...PINK WORLD DO,S AND DONT WITH PINK

PINK MY OBSESSION SPEAKS OUT YOUR PERSONALITY

written by ROMA SINGH

My obsession with pink goes a long way back. It started with pink roller blade sneakers somewhere around being 10 (we all remember that fad) to babydoll dresses in college, a pink and black bedroom, ofcourse the 'rose' representation in my swanky phone and now this set of  gorgeous lipsticks from faces.being highly sensitive oily skin,I personally trust and recommend this brand and using its products since 6 months.

 Let me dwell on 'unified' because there literally is a pink color for everyone in this collection. My favorite colors from this range are baby pink, rosy pink  . I think it just helps when lipsticks are gorgeous to look at even before you apply them. Kind of like a treat to the eyes. Oh, and lips.

In the fashion world, wearing pink can be a bit of a challenge. While the color often crops up in designer collections and in the wardrobes of savvy celebrities and street style stars, it can so easily veer into Barbie territory if worn the wrong way

There are soe Do's and Dont's to wear pink without looking baby doll

1. MIX PINK WITH MENSWEAR

2. CHOOSE YOUR SHADE WISELY

3. ADD A LEATHER ACCENT

4. THROW IN A BOLD PATTERN

                     5. COMBINE PINK AND BLACK, NAVY, OR BEIGE

  6.TRY A PINK COAT

                     

STYLING TIPS TO WEAR BLACK ON BLACK

STYLING TIPS TO WEAR BLACK ON BLACK

                           written by Roma Singh, 8 march
Black is my favourite color.It enhances your looks your body curves and also you look slimmer in black trust me..
 It can be distinguished, classy, mysterious, and even rebellious — it all depends on how you wear it. Black is semi-unique among colors in that it goes well with almost everything, so you have tons of options when you're putting together an outfit that uses black. While there's no "right" way to wear black, there are many, many ways to make a great black outfit, so start experimenting with these style tips today!
Here I wore:
Wardrobe- Black top from Zara
                     Black fitted jeans from Mango
                     Golden belt with studded stones from style fiesta

1. Wear black casual clothes for a cool, understated look. Affordable, everyday black clothing can make a striking impression. Black somehow makes casual outfits look "put together." Best of all, since most people wear these sorts of clothes often in their day-to-day lives, you'll be getting a good value out any clothes you end up using.

1. 

   
   

   

   • Examples: Black t-shirts, jeans, shorts, socks, skirts, belts, baseball caps, tennis shoes, etc.
   • Notes: Try to avoid a 100%-black outfit when you're wearing casual clothing. One-color outfits can make your features blend together, giving you a "formless" look. For instance, a black t-shirt looks great with blue or grey jeans, but if you're wearing it with black jeans, you might use a different-colored belt to break up the monotony.
   • As I wore a golden belt to break the monotony of too much black
   • 
     
   • Wear black semi-formal clothes for an intellectual look. Black is perfect if you're trying to make a "bookish" or "artistic" impression. Use a single eye-catching black accessory to lend a little artsy flair to outfit or wear a black academic-inspired outfit to show that you're busy pondering life's deeper questions as i here wore a black earcuff to add statement to my outfit.
   • 

     
     

     • Examples: Black turtlenecks, flannel shirts, older blazers, scarves, boots, glasses, jewelry, berets, accessories, makeup, etc.Here I wore a black earcuff which I bought from lokhandwala market and it goes very well with my black attire..
     • Notes: Quirky and antique-style accessories go great with these types of outfits. For example, an out-of-fashion scarf from the 1970s suddenly looks deliberate and fashionable on an intellectual with a black beret at the coffee shop.
   • Helpful?

     Wear black formal wear for any serious occasion. When it comes to formal occasions, always bet on black. "Nice" black clothes are a great investment because they're appropriate for almost any formal get-together, from weddings to funerals. Black formal wear is stately, elegant, attractive, and respectful all at once — you'll never be sorry to wear it when you're enjoying the finer things in life.
     

     • Examples: Black suits, dresses, tuxedos, veils, earrings, ties, scarves, cufflinks, dress shirts, dress pants, leather shoes, high heels, etc.
   • 4
     Wear form-fitting black clothes for a sleek look. Believe it or not, there's some scientific truth to the old saying "black is slimming." Black outfits absorb light, rather than reflect it, so they tend to make it hard to see the wrinkles, lines, and shadows that ordinarily form on a person's clothes.^[1] This can give black outfits a slimmer, sleeker look than similar colored outfits, making them perfect for when you want to play up your lean, athletic features.
     

     • Examples: Yoga pants, athletic shorts, ballet tights, workout clothes, "under armor," skinny jeans, tight leather jackets, etc.
     • Notes: The fit of these clothes plays a big role in how they make you look — a big, baggy black workout shirt won't have a slimming effect, for instance.
     • Hope u all like my personal post.
     • Please share how you all style your black dresses waiting for ur comments.. Lots of love...

MY SECRET TO GET LUSTROUS AND FLAWLESS SKIN

HOW  TO GET  LUSTROUS LOCKS AND FLAWLESS SKIN

written by ROMA SINGH on Feb 19, 2016

When people mention any health problem or come to me for advice, I naturally dole out remedies that originate in the kitchen! A friend going for a trek to Ladakh was sharing his fears of facing the biting cold of -30º C recently and instead of mentioning the obvious solution such as buying insulated thermal wear, I advised him to carry a bottle of rum and dried fruits! Well, that’s me—I might sound like a grandma but sometimes, going back to the basics just seems like the best idea. Curious to know what other kitchen products I swear by for my skin and hair? Read on…

Bye, bye blackheads 

Mix a small amount of a very mild toothpaste and sea salt and apply on the affected areas. Leave the paste on for exactly five minutes and then wash it off. Be prepared to be stunned with the smoothest, glowing skin you’ve ever had. Trust me on this one!

Why it’s good for you: Toothpaste works wonders on acne and blemished skin since it contains baking soda, menthol as well as hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, toothpaste is also an anti-bacterial agent—a blessing for acne prone skin. Sea salt contains magnesium, which has the power to prevent fluid retention from your skin and helps in keeping it soft and supple. Together these two make for the perfect recipe for beautiful skin!

Goddess Glow 

Olive oil, sugar and lemons may soon shift residence from your pantry to the bathroom cabinet once you try this. All you have to do is mix the oil, sugar and lemon juice together. After soaping, I rub in this concoction on my skin, head to toe and then rinse off. Sounds too simple to be extraordinary, but it works and how! Girls, be ready to embrace soft, gorgeous, glowing skin with this route!

Why it’s good for you: When olive oil, sugar and lemon juice are mixed, it becomes a powerful exfoliant for the skin. This means your skin will get rid of all the dead cells and bacteria. Moreover, sugar and olive oil both have hydrating properties while lemon has bleaching properties that will help you regain your natural complexion.

Lustrous locks 

Blitz together a ripe banana, some yogurt and honey in a blender. Here’s the twist—don’t drink it; instead just apply to your hair from the roots to tips, section by section. I usually leave this on for at least 15 minutes, and then pop in for a shower and rinse it off. Follow it up with your general shampoo and conditioner routine. Tames even the roughest of hair!

Why it’s good for you: Bananas contain vitamins and minerals that are known to moisturise the scalp. It also contains iron, which has the power to strengthen the roots of your hair. Moreover, both yoghurt and honey are natural conditioners that will leave your hair shiny and soft. Happy hair, here we come!

THE 7 MISTAKES OF STYLE WE SHOULD ALWAYS AVOID

THE 7 MISTAKES OF STYLE

written by ROMA SINGH on FEB 27, 2016

Being the fashion addicts that we are, we’ve got it all pat down. From avoiding the horizontal stripes when we feel bloated to the back-up flats that are always in our bags when we’re strutting in stilettos; we think we know it all, but do we really? There is faux pas or two which manages to slyly slide into our personal everyday style so keep your eyes open to make sure you don’t commit any of these style sins and end up a fashion disaster.

Sin #1 - Dressing inappropriately for the occasion
There’s a place for everything and everything has its place. And by everything, we mean clothes. You wouldn’t wear a pair of distressed jeans to a wedding, now would you? Dressing inappropriately is a fashion crime that you just don’t want to be caught committing so save your t-shirts for your coffee runs and bring out your lehenga when it’s wedding season.

Sin #2 - Choosing quantity over quality
It is a great feeling walking out of a store with your arms full of items you bought at a steal but is it greater than a designer bag? Quantity versus quality is one of the most important shopping debates and when the former wins over the latter, a sinful one as well. While buying large amounts of lesser quality items seems satisfying, it doesn’t last very long and gets dated quickly, rendering it useless. On the other hand, a high quality pair of shoes or luxury bags are often handcrafted with the best materials and have the tendency to last for years, even to be passed through generations. So when it’s battle-time of the former versus the latter, make sure to always be on team quality.

Sins #3 - Being uncomfortable in what you are wearing
If we really had to introspect, we could pick out a few times when we’ve hard a difficult time balancing in a pair of heels or breathing in skinny jeans. A good sense of style emerges when you embrace being comfortable in the fashion choices you make. If it doesn’t fit, you can’t walk with it or it’s causing you discomfort, don’t wear it. Instead, opt for a comfortable fashion, which will  show confidence in your choices and behaviour.

Sins #4 - Blindly following trends
When the latest fashion trend arrives on the block, the rush of excitement and anticipation to take it for a spin is our natural reaction which has, sometimes, resulted in disastrous circumstances and  fashion mistakes. Very little good can come out of blindly following a trend and it’s in your best interest to know more about it. Do your research and see if it flatters your body type, your skin tone and your hair texture and once you are sure it does, then proceed.

Sin #5 - Wearing the wrong size
Ah, the things we do for the love of fashion! Sometimes, out of sheer laziness or a good price, we’ve bought clothing that is size too big or small and ended up with ill-fitted, unflattering item that has no use and takes up space. Therefore, before you even get into buying something, refer to the size chart of the brand and using a measure tape, find your size. Wearing the right fit of clothes can take your outfit up a notch and work it in ways you cannot even imagine!

Sin #6 - Dressing without balance
Dressing up is a great part of the day but when it’s without a balanced look, you’ll end up in a distasteful silhouette that you would rather not be seen in. Even the most glamourous of celebrity stylists will let you in on one of the secrets of well dressed women which is, pairing pieces together that balance with other. Pair contrasting fits like a narrow fit with a flowing one or you can even go for all overall flowing look with the addition of heels. Whatever choice you take, know that a streamlined, pulled-together look is birthed from clothing that fits together like pieces of a puzzle.

Sin #7 - Showing up ungroomed
Whether you are heading to a business meeting, a sangeet or a movie date, having an ungroomed appearance is one of the greatest faux pas. The way you carry yourself speaks volumes about you without saying a word and turning up without grooming conveys the message of being untidy, disrespectful and careless. Don’t be fooled into thinking that wearing a fancy dress and bright lipstick is synonymous with being groomed. Just paying careful attention to your personal care and hygiene with something as simple as neat eyebrows, a spritz of perfume and a hair trim constitutes grooming; which is essential whether you are in a skater dress or a trackpants.

LEARN TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BELT ACCORDING TO YOUR BODY TYPE

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BELT ACCORDING TO YOUR BODY SHAPE

written by ROMA SINGH

One of the most underrated accessories, belts can actually create a helluva difference to your appearance. But before you go all out belt shopping, it’s imperative to understand that not all belts suit every body type. Wondering what would work for your frame? Take a look.

If you’re pear shaped… 

You’ve always faced the dilemma of trying to make your waist look slimmer, haven’t you? The good news is that you can totally do so by wearing the right belt. Remember that broader the waist, the slimmer the belt needs to be. A slinky belt will be one of the best belts for you because it will give your waist an illusion of looking slimmer. Such a savior, isn’t it?

If you’re petite…
Try wearing skinny belts of the same colour as your dress. These will cinch your waist and accentuate your curves in such a way that you look taller and get noticed!

You can buy a slinky belt from Koovs for ₹895

If you’re short… 

If you struggle with a short torso, go for medium-sized belt in the same colour as your top but don’t match it with your lowers. Wearing a belt that matches your shirt will help elongate your upper body.

You can buy a medium-sized belt from Jabong for ₹600
If you’re apple-shaped…
If you happen to be apple-shaped, you need broad belts but wear them under your bust to create an illusion of a slender waist; skip belts around the hips. Look for drape-like silhouettes and cinch the top with a belt around the bust. So simple!

If you have an hourglass body… 

You have the perfect body to pull off just about any belt but our advice would be that you wear a high-waisted metallic one so it accentuates your slim waist and makes you look confident.

FIND OUT THE RIGHT HAIR COLOR ACCORDING TO YOUR SKIN TONE..

LEARN HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HAIR COLOUR FOR YOUR SKIN TONE

written by ROMA SINGH

With a new season just around the corner, it’s about to amp up your style. And before you head to your wardrobe to wrangle out the latest in fashion, don’t miss getting your hair in on the action as well! When it’s time for the season to transition, so is it time for your hair. And what’s the easiest to do that? With a brand new colorful mane, of course!

Hair colour has evolved greatly through the years and today, it promises a whole new look without the danger of hair damage. But before you take the colourful plunge to find out the best hair colour for you, there’s a thing or two to remember before you get down to experimentation.

Find your skin tone 

When you use the right shade of hair colour, it can change your appearance completely. The best way to find the right colour for your hair is by finding out your skin tone and the hair colour that blends well with it. Remember that your skin tone changes depending on the sun exposure and tan you have so here are 2 simple ways to figure out what your skin tone is.

T-shirt test 

Firstly, remove all traces of makeup from your face and stand in front of a mirror. Make sure that there is a window or any other natural source of light in the room. Then hold a red or yellow t-shirt against your face followed by either a green or blue t-shirt. You’ll find a noticeable difference as to how your face looks against the colours. If your face looks better against the red or yellow t-shirt, you have a warm skin tone. If it looks better against the blue or green t-shirt, you have a cool skin tone.

Vein test
Stand under a natural source of light, like sunlight and observe the veins on the underside of your wrist. If your veins are green in colour, you have a warm skin tone. If your veins are blue in colour, you have a cool skin tone.

Warm skin tones 

So once you’ve determined your skin tone, the enjoyable part is picking a hair colour for yourself. If you have a warm skin tone, you can choose a hair colour that falls in the family of earthy brown, auburn, deep red and violet. Mocha, pumpkin spice, plum and burgundy seem to be popular favourites. Subdued ombre or subtle lowlights can also bring out the warmth of your skin tone. We suggest using a special shampoo such as the TRESemme Color Revitalize Protection For Color Treated Hair to maintain the vibrancy of your colour.

Cool skin tones
Cool skin tones generally belong to those who have fair and rosy peach skin colours and the paler their skin is, the lighter they can go with their hair colour. If you have a cool skin tone, you can choose a hair colour that falls in the family of blond, caramel and copper. Pick your hair colour from that of butterscotch, honey, platinum and champagne from the shade card. Trendy pastel streaks or flaxen highlights will bring out the peachiness of your skin tone. To maintain your hair colour, add the BedHead by TIGI Dumb Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner to prevent brassiness and breakage.

NEW TREND IN FASHION-90's ERA CHOKERS ARE BACK..SEE HOW TO WEAR THEM

NEW FASHION TREND—CHOKER NECKLACE

written by ROMA SINGH

You know what they say about trends—they never truly die! That’s because what was hot a few years ago will make a reappearance in the near future as a trending topic. We know that during the grunge era of the 90’s, donning Doc Martens, choker necklaces and butterfly clips were all the rage. While we haven’t heard the heavy footsteps of the Martens, choker necklaces are back with a bang!

Back in the day, choker necklaces were thought of as edgy and rebellious jewelry since they were a safe alternative to a neck tattoo. The quintessential intertwined necklace stretched snugly around the neck as the perfect accessory to clash with those risque low-necks. It’s 2016 and while chokers are back, they aren’t the same old rebels that we used to know.

The choker has found a more refined, chicer avatar as it moves beyond plastic. The necklace now spans across metallic forms, suede ties and pom-pom detailing. Trust Hollywood celebrities to sniff out a trend because everybody who is anybody like Gigi Hadid, Shay Mitchell, Miranda Kerr, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin have been spotted wearing one whether casually or on the red carpet. While slipping it on is an easy option, layering the choker necklace can spruce up even a formal look.

Want to join the elite fleet of choker donning stars? Here are a few tips on working it.
Decide the look you are going for and choose a choker based on that.
For a boho infused look, a suede piece with tassels should be your pick.
If it’s a dinner party, then a gold number with studded rhinestones will suit it best. Find the style of choker which matches your look best.
Alternatively, you can layer it in the midst of other necklaces of varying sizes. You can also choose your neck choker based on your outfit. On an intricate lace necklace, you can pair a minimal gold choker. For a low-cut satin blouse, a black choker piece will work it’s charm.
