Fashion is a prevailing and distinctive style or practice, it can’t me limited only to clothing. There are range of things that are connected with fashion. It does not only mean that only you have to look groomed and stand out of the crowd.

Fashion Design

Fashion design is the art of application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social latitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklace, because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, must at times anticipate changing consumer tastes.

Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.

Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear. Fashion designers may work full-time for one fashion as 'in-house designers' which owns the designs. They may work alone or as part of a team. Freelance designers work for themselves, selling their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers.

Today Fashion

Fashion is defined as the prevailing style of living in terms of apparels, ornaments, dress and utilities. Today, Fashion is not just dictionary word. It is a shining beacon of elegance and grace. A hand bag or a mobile phone is no more just a utility. It is a status symbol, an iconography.

A Fad is a style which prevails temporarily. Fad and trend are interchangeably used though trend signifies a more or less permanent change. People would love to wear Black Aviator sun glasses as soon as James bond movies are released and girls would love to wear high heels if an actress does in a movie. Different Fads evolve every now and then, but Fashion is something that would permanently prevail. The garments one wears helps to identify his religion, culture or his attitude. Thus fashion has become synonymous with the overall growth of the country as well. Today, fashion has become a legitimate career for many young minds. We can find kids going to sewing classes instead of soccer practice and under graduates taking fashion as their main stream of education. India, which is a mosaic of cultures, itself represents many changing trends. People wear different varieties of turbans, kurtas and sarees .

Different fad is defined for different festivals , parties and also on a regular day. Fashion is growing to be increasingly important to everyone and fads evolve every now and then. People quickly adopt to every changing trend and wait for the next change to come. But they seldom remember that a dress is after all a utility.

Summer Scarves – Hot Rage all the way

 Our summer wardrobe has to battle out the heat. It must be so tough. But there is one trick that can bring in an element of air and freshness about it and that is a Summer Scarf.

No matter how hot and sticky it gets, there’s a scarf to give you a breezy look. There are endless ways to bring out your creativity when it comes to wearing a scarf. And just in case you have very little time to tie your tresses, just turn your scarf into a head wrap (in the process it will also save you from the heat wave).

To sum it up, a scarf refreshes your wardrobe in a jiffy without any mess. Plus it’s something cute to put up on your hair when everyone is busy letting the hair down.

If you want to get engaged to wearing a stylish and peppy scarf, then you should know the variety they come in. The scarves range is quite versatile as it comes in three sizes – Short length, Medium length and Long length. But it is on you how to pick the best one that can gel with your personality. As a matter of fact, all the scarf styles look great depending on your body posture and size.

SHORTY SUMMER SCARVES

This one is good to tag along when you are wearing tops and jeans. Even palazzo pant and pant trousers can go well with a short scarf, which can be worn around the neck and shoulders. Some of the latest designs in short summer scarves come with block printing and beautiful embroidery.

LONG SCARVES

Sometimes length plays a major role in casting the right impression. Long scarves come of great help when teamed up with a salwar kameez and western wear such as tops, jeans, palazzo pant and dress pant. In fact, long scarves can also be carried on one side of the shoulder apart from being tied around the neck.

Fashion trends in different eras

Fashion is trend-driven. Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. Fashion is a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. It is the prevailing styles in behavior and the newest creations of textile designers.

Fashion is a multi-billion-dollar industry that has considerable impact on the way ordinary people dress and present themselves. But there is more to fashion than the different articles of clothing; fashion is made up of designers, buyers, retailers, editors, and columnists. While all parties work together to create an image, all of these parties can simultaneously be affected by outside forces.

Early Western travelers, whether to Persia, Turkey, India, or China, would frequently remark on the absence of change in fashion there. The Japanese Shogun's secretary bragged (not completely accurately) to a Spanish visitor in 1609 that Japanese clothing had not changed in over a thousand years. However, there is considerable evidence in Ming China of rapidly changing fashions in Chinese clothing.

The beginning in Europe of continual and increasingly rapid change in clothing styles can be fairly reliably dated. Historians, including James Laver and Fernand Braudel, date the start of Western fashion in clothing to the middle of the 14th century.

In the 16th century national differences were at their most pronounced. Ten 16th century portraits of German or Italian gentlemen may show ten entirely different hats. Albrecht Durer illustrated the differences in his actual (or composite) contrast of Nuremberg and Venetian fashions at the close of the 15th century

In the 17th to 18th centuries imposed similar styles.

Marie Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI, was a leader of fashion. Her choices, such as this 1783 white muslin dress called a chemise a la Reine, were highly influential and widely worn.

Prior to the mid-19th century, most clothing was custom-made. It was handmade for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors.

HIGH STREET STRAIGHTENING (fashion products)

When it comes to hair tools, I own way too many. I’m always on the lookout for something bigger and better for curling tongs, wands and straighteners. Okay, maybe not necessarily bigger! I get asked so many questions on what my favorite high street hair favorites are and I think I have found something which I had to share with you all – the BaByliss Diamond Straightener.

BaByliss for me is a high street brand which I think do some great products for glamming up your hair. I have many of their curling tools but nothing to straighten with. Which is why I was so excited to get my hands on these! They are very sleek with a slight sparkle to the packaging – who doesn’t love a bit of glam, right? With three heat settings (180, 200 & 235°C), this will suite all hair types and reducing the chances or over heating your hair.

Please someone explain why all straighteners aren’t like this?

In the past, the straighteners which I have tried and tested, have been great but I feel they make my hair a little too shiny and it results in me getting greasier hair, quicker – which is a big no, no. I only realised how great these straighteners were after seeing my hair not only looking ultra shiny, smooth, soft and frizz free. But they also helped in delay the grease process.

It's not very easy to grow up into a woman !

It's not very easy to grow up into a woman. We are always taught, almost bombarded, with ideals of what we should be at every age in our lives: "This is what you should wear at age twenty", "That is what you must act like at age twenty-five", "This is what you should be doing when you are seventeen." But amidst all the many voices that bark all these orders and set all of these ideals for girls today, there lacks the voice of assurance. There is no comfort and assurance. I want to be able to say, that there are four things admirable for a woman to be, at any age! Whether you are four or forty-four or nineteen! It's always wonderful to be elegant, it's always fashionable to have grace, it's always glamorous to be brave, and it's always important to own a delectable perfume! Yes, wearing a beautiful fragrance is in style at any age!

CLEANSING AGAINST THE CLOCK (Fashion products)

There are plenty of times where I want a fail-proof way to quickly cleanse my skin. I’m not sure if it’s just me but the older I’ve become, the more important skincare has become to me. I’ve tested a number of easy cleansing products and this one I’ve come across, sits at the top spot. I’ve been testing this out for a few weeks now and it’s easy to say that this is one of the best micellar waters I’ve tried. It’s the Nivea Sensitive 3-in-1 Micellar Cleansing Water.

I am known for skipping steps in my skincare, especially in the mornings and after a night out. We’ve all been there. But with this cleansing water, I really have no excuse. Cleansing waters not only cleanse your skin but also remove your makeup – it’s like having a skincare genie in a bottle. This micellar water, in particular, includes natural grape seed oil which in a nutshell provides intensive care to your skin with reducing tightness and dryness – it is basically all my skin needs in the morning you’ll definitely be getting your money’s worth in cleansing.

DELICIOUS DELIGHTS

I tend to have my go to products, foods, drinks and even books which bring me so much happiness and joy & today I’m going to be talking you through just that. My current ‘Delicious Delights‘that are helping me transition through to spring. I have a handful of things I’ve been loving over the past few weeks that I knew I had to share with you,

I have been reaching for the new DKNY Delicious Delight in ‘Fruity Rooty’ a heck of a lot these days – this is the purple sorbet delight. I would have to say that this scent is my favorite from their new range. It’s a beautiful blend of blackberry, rose petals and violet flower it’s brought me back to my sweet scented obsession which I’ve had from a very young age. There is something about spring that makes me want to wear nothing but fun, fruity and sweet scents and this is just that.

Dreamsicle, is the orange delight, it combines juicy mandarin with green apple. It’s a great pick-me-up scent for the mornings where you want that little bit extra. And then we have ‘Cool Swirl’, the green delight, which is a mix of jasmine (L.O.V.E) and coconut water.  The DKNY Delicious Delights scents have that that fun and fruity element, yet smelling unique on their own, all together. That can only mean one thing – that these will suite everyone’s taste.

I highly believe that the little delights we have in our lives, & things we treat ourselves to, make a huge impact on our mood & happiness. Fragrance being one of my favorites along with food, lipsticks and a bit of bling. You can’t go wrong with them!
