4 new style tips | Make New style every day

Wear glittery tops during the day.


  • Does Manhattan sophisticate Olivia Palermo—Whitney Port’s frenemy on The City—really work in the Diane von Furstenberg office? Who knows. But this much is true: Palermo created the perfect day-to-night outfit by layering a tailored black jacket over a glitzy gold tank.

Invest in a bright accessory.


Solange Knowles, Beyoncé’s equally talented and fashionable little sis, hearts her hot pink Chanel clutch: She recently wore the cheery bag nonstop during New York Fashion Week. And why not? That one little jolt of color puts an energetic twist on her ladylike outfits

Recognize the power of a red lip.

  • Model Dree Hemingway may have a family full of writers (her grandfather was acclaimed author Ernest and mom is actress-writer Muriel), but she knows that actions speak louder than words. She dressed up a super-basic outfit—cardigan, jeans and flats—in 2.5 seconds by wearing bright red lipstick.

Rethink boyfriend jeans.


  • Katie Holmes first started wearing boxy-fit jeans a few months back, and while it looked good on her (what doesn’t?), it was Zoe Saldana’s version of the denim look that made us think we could pull it off. Her cropped boyfriend jeans, black heels and trench combo is the coolest take on the T-shirt-and-jeans look we’ve seen in years.

5 Fruits for a glowing skin

Banana: This is one fruit that's abundantly available in India all through the year. We know it's a good source of iron, magnesium and potassium and helps reduce menstrual cramps. The effect of banana on skin too is not something that can be ignored. Bananas are rich in vitamin A, B and E and hence works as an anti-aging agent. A fresh mashed banana facial can do wonders for your skin. 

Lemon: Lemon juice is an important ingredient in most Indian recipes. This is also a fruit of all seasons and almost always finds place on your kitchen shelf or refrigerator. With its vitamin C content, its juice will keep your skin beautiful. A glass of warm water with a tsp of honey and a dash of lemon juice on an empty stomach every morning is a great skin cleanser. With its astringent properties, it can be used to lighten the skin tone and also diminish acne scars. Rub the inside of a lemon peel on your elbow remove dark spots. Mix lemon and honey and use it as a natural bleach on your skin.Apple: An apple a day keeps the doctor away is cliched, but its health benefits are undisputable. Apple's antioxidant property prevents cell and tissue damage. Studies by nutritionists have shown that apples contain abundant amounts of elastin and collagen that help keep the skin young. Applying a mixture of mashed apple, honey, rose water and oatmeal can act as a great exfoliating mask on your skin. 

Orange: Rich in vitamin C that improves skin texture. Like apple, orange too contains collagen that slows skin aging process. Rub the insides of orange on your skin to tighten the skin. Oranges can be dried and powdered and used as a natural scrub. Like lemon, oranges too help clear skin blemishes. 

Papaya: The benefits of this fruit on skin have perhaps been talked about since the time of our ancestors. Papaya is rich in antioxidants and contain a special enzyme called papain that can kill dead cells and cure skin impurities. A glass of papaya milk or just applying the flesh of papaya on your skin can do wonders to your skin. 

Mango: Rightly called the king of fruits for not just its taste but also for health benefits. The soft pulpy fruit has an amazing effect on skin too. Rich in vitamin-A and rich antioxidants, it fights against skin aging, regenerates skin cells and restores the elasticity of skin.

If you want Hassle - Free Waves | HAIR STYLE

This is a simple but effective way to look stunning. Volume is important for this hairdo. So if you have thin hair , add clip-on extensions and braid them onto your real hair at the back. 

PREP

Wash hair with a mild shampoo and conditioner. Blow dry at the roots. Apply some texturing serum or spray all over. Part the hair at the center.

STYLE

Use a two- inch thick curling iron on hair that's divided into two inch sections to create soft and loose curls. Keep the top clean and smooth, and make sure the curls frame the face and shoulders. The curls around the face should have a nice outward movement (Out Curls). Run your fingers gently through the curls to open the out slightly.

SET

Use an extra- strong holding spray to keep the curls intact. Sweep hair to one side or sweep it onto both the shoulders
