Festive Winter Trends - Lace & Bright colors

This winter, lace is crowned as the ultimate fabric that exudes elegance and glamour. From dresses to shirts to accessories, this feminine fabric has made a big comeback for the winter fashion season. Perfect for dressing up in layers, leggings, tights, boots, and cardigans, they will all be a complementary look for this fabric’s transition into the cold winter weather with style. It's a way to turn heads at a party and look your glam best. Here's our take on it! :)

Lace top- Forever New, Jeans- Bandra, Shoes-Trendy, Earring- Forever21, White shirt- Colaba, Belt- Colaba, Leggings- Online, Black peeptoes- Zara, Velvet Bow Sling- Promod, Ring- Forever21

Tips to keep in mind

-Make sure you use just ONE lace item in your entire outfit. More than one is a complete no no.

- Try using very simple items to pair with lace.

-Use minimal accessories, let the lace be the center of attention.

Another very old basic yet a look that always works is ,wear a block color dress and accessorise it with your favorite accessories! Its a good way of bringing out and showcasing your personal style! Wear such dresses in a style,cut and length that suits you the best. Wear these to house parties or Christmas dinners or sundowns!Add a cardigan or a blazer for those chilly nights! So go ahead and rock this look. :)

*November Delights*

Hi guys! Okay so this post includes nothing but things that I(Aayushi) have been loving in the past month! Things that i reach for all the time! I'll try to recollect the prices and mention them! I hope you guys enjoy this post and get introduced to a few new things and go try them!

1. Maybelline Eye Studio's Gel eyeliner in black

I am not a very eyeliner person but this product has made applying eyeliner so much easier! It comes with an eyeliner brush which is of pretty good quality!The brush makes it possible to smoothly create thin or broader strokes. Stays on all day and is of amazing consistency!The pot looks tiny but it will last your for a while! It retails for Rs. 375.

 

2.Boots Conditioner

These are amazing! They are available in 6 different bottles and ive tried the Avacado & Macadamia(green one), Strawberry&yoghurt(red one) and the Beer&egg(yellow one). They smell amazing and leave your hair feeling extremely soft. I love them all! They retail at selected stores at Rs.225 approximately(400ml). Look for them!

 

3.John Frieda's Frizz-Ease (hair serum)

This is probably the best hair serum i have ever come across! It works like magic! A little expensive for a serum (Rs.550 for 10ml) but so completely worth it! It also provides Thermal protection so you can blow dry your hair after this and have gorgeous looking hair!

 

4.The Body Shop's Frosted Shimmer lotion in Black Velvet Apricot

This shimmer lotion was from the festive season collection  last year and it has lasted me an entire year and there is lots left! But i can never get over this! Firstly because it leave my skin looking flawlessly smooth and secondly, i am addicted to its smell! I dont know where you could find this but if you ever do, try it! (rs. 749)

 

5. Nailpolishes

I love painting my nails! These are the colors that i have been using a lot lately! The purple,taupe and silver metallic ones are the perfect colors for this season! You can never go wrong with the classic red and for me pink is the new red. I"ve been alternating between these colors and i absolutely love all.All of them range from Rs.40-100.

(taupe brown-VOV, fierry femme-colourbar, Autumn rose- colour bar, 20(purple) & 9(hot pink)- Just candy, Metallic silver- Etude)

 

6.Bath & Body Works Body splash in Velvet Tuberose

All the body splash's from Bath & Body Works are amazing and ive used a few of them but the one smell that ive been using the most is this one! Its a body splash so don't expect to last for too long and so its always in my bag and i spray it on like 2-3 times a day. Love the smell. Its relaxing.(236ml for Rs. 700 approx)

 

7. Maybelline's Volum' Express Cateyes Mascara

Love the black and pink packaging. The wand is made in such a way that it lengthens and adds volume at the same time. No clumps. Good formula. Use a eye lash curler before applying to achieve best results! Its in the colour Feline Black. Retails at Rs. 275 approx.

 

8. Epicare

Okay this is the product that i am most excited about!! A few of you must have heard of this and some of you may have not! So for those who have NOT heard of this, meet epicare!Ive been using it for almost 6months now.LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Its a facial hair removal system. You can easily do your upper lips and eyebrows at home now! Its easy to use and makes life so easy for women! Its always lying in my bag! Unfortunately this is not available in India however you can order it online! There are unlimited amount of videos available on YouTube regarding how to use  this.

9. Lip Products

(Colourbar's lip liner in True Red, Colourbar's lipstick in Smokey Rose, L'oreals lip color riche in 233)

Love all the shades! I know its fall and i should be branching into darker color but i cant get over Smokey rose! It looks gorgeous! L'oreals lipstick is the perfect pinkish nude color which can be used at any time of the day. Looks prefect with dark smokey eyes. And for the night i usually look for my lip liner in True Red. It compliments my MAC's lipstick in Brave Red amazingly.( Rs.250-650)

10.The last thing that ive been loving is the weather of Mumbai! Its been so amazing since the past few days! Its time to get your cardigans and scarves out girls!

Thats all from me for now. I hope this helps! Enjoy! :) For any queries or suggestion email us at styledrive20@gmail.com or comment below!

Pear it right!

Hey guys! So from this week until the next 4 weeks we will be posting a series of links regarding body types. Each week will have a new body type.We believe that everyone has a very unique body and embracing your body type is very important.Dressing up keeping your body type in mind will help you dress better. Its all about loving yourself  and enjoying the skin you're in.

So we are starting with a body type which is the most common one which is the PEAR shaped. If you are a bottom-heavy beauty and are bigger around the hips, bottom or thighs than you are up top then, like most women, you are a Pear!.Work that womanly figure by adding more shape and structure above the waist. Balance out your curvy bottom half with bold bright tops or tops with large collars, lapels or sleeves.Some of the  famous celebrities under this body type include Katie Holmes, Beyonce, Rihanna, Shakira,etc.

If you fall under this body type then keep the following Do's and Dont's in mind.

- Use dark bottoms as far as possible. This will give an illusion of smaller hips. Pants with Clean lines and muted colours are best. Mid rise styles will be most flattering

- Wear contrasting  tops as they will divert the attention from your hips to your upper half.

-While wearing dressing try avoiding dresses that end below your knee. Go for dresses that end mid way between your thighs.

-Avoid jodhpurs will bring out your hips more. Cargo pants with pockets on the thigh will broaden you .Steer clear of light bright colours and bulky buttons.

-Try wearing heels as much as you can as this will make  your body look more proportionate.

We hope you guys like this post and this helps you and your style!
