Little boys in Festive Dresses

Little boys in Festive dresses Fashion for little boys asper parents is very narrow...they have very few items to choose from and very little choice. But when it comes to traditional wear, even boys have quite some good models of kurta pyjamas, dhotis, simple shirts and trousers to flaunt. Parents can explore good stores that market kids clothing and get the boys ready for post-Dassera Daandiya nights or for the coming up Diwali. Well, parents can never buy one piece and keep it for years with kids clothing as the sizes change and these little ones grow up so fast. Hence, spending moderately based on the occasion they need the dresses for is a smart way. Pairing up the kurta pyjamas or Dhoti Kurtas with very cute Mojaris will be the perfect look. For the toddlers, bring in Mom's wide neck chain with a large pendant and a Kadi for the arm will finish the attire. However, this is only for a picture or two, those little guys will not stay around Mom so safeguarding the jewellery is a must. The older guys of 7-8 yrs are ready with their own choices...make sure to keep 2-3 pairs of dresses to select from, otherwise your dressup time will be messed up. Those colorful sneakers maynot work out well as the kids grow up, buying shoes or sneakers in 1-2 colors is better as kids narrow down on their color choices as they grow. The festive season has not ended so gear up for all the fun !! --Pratyusha

Your New Fashion Statement

  Your New Fashion Statement   If you recollect our old Bollywood classics like “Pakeezah”, “Umraojaan”... their costumes and jewellery were very peculiar and traditional in nature. Though they are mostly used by the dancers, at times brides too were fond of such heavy jewellery. But of late fashion boundaries are pushed out, therefore we get to see so many new fashion statements are revealed by the designers. Recently, Our designers showcased new rings which can be worn to 2 fingers or 3 fingers together. These are studded with Royal Pearls, Gems and some times in peacock, butterfly and plant motifs as well. Such rings are apt for evening parties, wedding receptions or formal get togethers and will go with any type of attire. However, you should avoid wearing any other chunky piece of jewellery like bracelet or heavy bangles while you wear such designer piece which is already an exclusive one. Also go for a trail run before you wear such designer pieces as they are interconnected to fingers, so make sure that you're comfortable wearing the same. Flaunt these rings with rich costume just to steal the show... Go for it!!! ...Bhavana

Change As You Wish

  Change As You Wish There was a generation, most of the people used to buy footwear when the current pair is completely gone... Otherwise, its always like “Cobbler cobbler mend my shoe” kind, they used to get them repaired. With the changing economies, lifestyle changed of many and enhanced rather. Wardrobe management is a big affair for most of us. Shoes are also a part of it. Having so many pairs of shoes is not a luxury but has become necessary for us these days. So comes matching footwear in to picture. Though, money is not a criteria, but space management is a real challenge now. To overcome such problems, shoes with changing straps have come in to market, similar to the watches we have. Instead of buying shoe in so many colors, you can as well have one with many straps. Isn't this sounding a good deal? You have so many online stores selling these footwear. Check and pick up as per your choice. Ensure that the model you buy must include black, silver, skin and gold colours. So that they can go with many of your outfits. If not any color, then skin color will always be your saver. Another tip I would like to give you is, when ever you are buying footwear with these changeable straps, you have to pick up two designs at least so that you have an option to change the pattern. .....Bhavana

White Henna - The In Thing Now

White Henna - The In Thing Now    Traditional henna paste made out of leaves was age old fashion to decorate palms and legs during the wedding. They were taken over by red mehandi cones, then replaced by black Mehandi for occasions other than weddings and now the in thing in fashion world is “white henna”.Going well with white color theme and wedding gowns, not leaving any patches of fade outs are the reasons for the buzz this “white Mehandi” art has been creating in the market. White henna is not actual henna. These designs are made out of stickers, tattoos, body paints and glitters.Since, this is not a natural henna powder or any organic substance , there are few do’s and don’ts while applying these designs on your skin. Dos: There is a white adhesive used to prepare these designs. This adhesive will be piped onto the skin like henna paste and will stick to the skin for up to a week. It can be peeled or scrubbed off and is safe for everyone who doesn't have an allergy to Band-Aids. Adhesive with cosmetic glitter or powder also used as white henna as it gives extra glamour. These powders can be sprinkled onto the adhesive before it's fully dry. This gives splendid look. Gels, which are water based have consistency like aloe vera gel and contain cosmetic glitter. They pipe on and can be easily washed off. this is just perfect for kids. White eye pencil with glittery finish also be used to create henna-like motifs, especially on sensitive areas such as around the eyes. Donts Never use Chlorine bleach, hair bleach, skin bleaching product or any other product that is a chemical bleach as henna designs. Acrylic paint or any other paint from the craft store that is meant for painting canvases or houses, not people. So never paint your skin using them. No Nail polish. The best thing to do is, to check with an expert and then proceed. Be trendy, have fun! Also take care of health as beauty is all about being healthy.  Bhavana        

Rakhi - Symbol Of Responsibility

Rakhi - Symbol Of Responsibility Rakhi/ Rakshabandhan festival what we celebrate today has no specific relation with the mythological stories or epics from where most of our Hindu festivals are derived from. However, it is very special festival for brothers and sisters,dedicating this particular day to each other and celebrating in the form of Rakshabandhan, with a promise, brother makes to protect sister from all the odds. A small band which is tied by sister gives so much of confidence to her, simultaneously instills, sense of responsibility in brother. To this extra special bonding between brothers and sisters, our ancistors attached a ritual so that we can celebrate this with out fail , and with lot of enthusiasm to make this day more fulfilled. One such day reminds a man to extend brotherhood to society and take care of sisters not only in the family but in the whole world which is one family (Vasudhaiva Kutumbam).Indeed, this is the only gift a brother can give to sister, a promising relationships. According to history, Rakshbandhan was initiated by two individuals, who weren't siblings, but was a brotherly love, which was assured to a girl; over a period of time, this was symbolised as a celebration for brothers and sisters to express their love and caring for each other.When, a boy can think beyond the box and understand the very own purpose of this Rakhi, not only as a festival/ ritual but becomes a reliable resource for girls and make sure to stand by them when needed. Girls, when you find a boy who can take accountability of sisters not only in his family but in the whole society, then go all the way to express your love for them. We salute to all such brothers and wishing them a happy “Rakshabandhan”!! And, I'm sure that, we do have many such brothers around. Long life to those brothers and long live Rakhi!! - Bhavana
