‘Candy Delights’ By Metro Shoes

Being an individual has never been as prominent, or important, as it is now-a-days!

People are putting themselves out there and sharing with the world who they are, and leaving a mark for people who would rather follow to take notice. So if you are a trend setter in whatever you do, and also strongly believe in the power of individualism, then Gossip is meant for you! No boundaries, No limitations. It is just 100% BOLD fashion.

Gossip designs for both, men and women. Trendsetting, Stylish and Global are some of the words that best describes the brand. The clothes have interesting styles and playful little details. The highlight of Gossip is that it brings out a very young, frivolous and vivacious feel, something that everyone is looking for today.

The philosophy of bold fashion applies to the menswear line too, with its vibrant stripes and checks, bold prints and crafty embroidered shirts.  But does bold work with menswear?

Gossip says “Men are more fashion conscious these days. They are aware of the latest trends and though they sometimes deny it, they do love to shop, especially when it reflects who they are and how they want to be perceived: daring and out for fun”.

The ideology of Gossip also reflects in its pricing. Gossip’s range starts from Rs.500 onward. Gossip says “When we began work, our vision was clear; we wanted to create stylish pieces that don’t burn a hole in your pocket. We want you to keep going out, doing whatever you want to do, and always flaunting the individual and always new, You”

The event also witnessed the charming Katrina Kaif who looked at ease with herself in an earthy glitter dress and the beautiful Sonali Bendre in a clandestine avatar with a sari.

Considering we are have unique facial contours and physical attributes, it is impossible to agree that one haircut or one hairstyle can suit all. The first requisite of styling your hair is to understand your face type and your choice of wardrobe to sync it accordingly.

Trends in hairstyles have gone a sea change with fancy style being accepted with much élan; however with the retro trends capturing the limelight once again, the trend for plaits Is back in the frame. From our very own B-town celebrities to the divas of Hollywood, all have been raving about plaits.

Are you trying your hands at sporting a stylish and chic plait, here are few quick tips to up your hairstyling quotient
Grecian Plait

A minimalistic yet stylish attempt, this plait can set eyes aflutter for its ethereal appeal. Just tie your hair in two different plaits and pin them upwards for a contemporary Grecian look.

Adds charm to any outfit and has been sported by some of the leading ladies of Hollywood complementing their Victorian gowns.

Fishtail Braids

A very chic and well-kept look; this braid can be worn with both ethnic as well as western attires.

Extremely simple to attempt, just tie your hair in a ponytail.

Divide it into two sections suing a tail comb and just form a simple plait using these sections.

You may also try this without the ponytail for a just out of bed look and a rustic appeal.

Rasta Braids

Well known for its bohemian appeal, Rasta braids are low maintenance and keep your hair in place for longer durations. Just divide your hair into 20-30 odd sections (depending on the thickness of hair) and tie as many plaits as the number of divided sections.

Though these are time consuming, but the result I surely worth it and can be lasting too.
You can also use a ribbon or a coloured thread in one or more braids for an added effect.

French Braid

For the perfect lady like charm, try this extremely suave and refined hairdo. Women with an oval face look best in this kind of a braid.

Divide your hair into two sections, from every section, pick a small strand and start plaiting. Start from the top and finish at the bottom when all the strands are being utilised for the plait. This Is a great style to add volume to thin hair.

Sizzling Siren look

Vidya manages to look glamorous and uber sexy in this skin hugging drape and a matching blouse in black and golden with a low neckline to enhance the cleavage.
Opt for Vidya’s look by pairing a heavy work sari with a contemporary blouse that ups the sex quotient. You may try a choli with a tie up back or even a single shoulder plain blouse in gold and other jewel tones for a bling effect.

Embodying Eternal Grace

Her style here is synonymous with the Indian diva image, with a refined look that can set hearts aflutter. The excellent contrast of red and green in her attire adds radiance to her persona.
Keep it simple with muted tones contrasting each other, for the sari and the blouse. Opt for pastels during day and loud vibrant shades for evening wear. Add some irresistible charm with soft curls and let loose your mane.

Refrain from overdoing by adding chunky pieces of jewellery, instead stick to minimalistic statement earrings or a cocktail ring.
Girl Next Door Charm

Vidya emphasises on the soft look with a pastel pink in a draped fabric. The silver trimming prevent it from going drab, adding some zing to the outfit and the jewel tone sandals accentuate the overall style.
Suits with Churidars can instantly make your frame look taller. Opt for plain bottoms with an embellished Kurtas in A line design, Anarkali pattern or am empire line shape. Shades like turquoise, sea green, wine, olive and even rust can make your skin glow. Match your footwear with the dress but keep it subtle to draw maximum attention to the outfit.
