January 31, 2015

Fish tail braid Who does not have a bad hair day??
Its almost unthinkable….So what do you do when you have one??

BRAID

Fish tail braid I just love the way my hair looks in a braid. Makes me feel very cleopatra-ish!
Braids are for everyone…

Fish Tail Braid 
Its super easy-peasy and gives you a neat sophisticated look.
If you got an absolute round face like mirror.. let me tell you sister this one’s a keeper!
Not only does it make your face look longer but also gives you magical higher cheek bone effect..!

The silver lining …

Silver earringsI have a million reasons to explain why I absolutely love silver jewellery.
It’s a perfect boho-chic ensemble .
A great pair of silver earrings can be incorporated with any piece of garment .
My two absolute favorites are Rajasthani and Kashmiri silver works.

(i) The Rajasthani silver work mostly comprises the big jhoomkas or balis. These are mostly intricate handcrafted art work…Made purely out of silver!
(ii) Whereas the Kashmiri silver work uses a lot of precious stones like corals , jade etc.
3These give a very bohemian feel to any outfit .
The tribal silver jewellery is also becoming a fad..If you into hippie jewellery then….
….. silver is definitely your thing !

What can you do with this absolute Sea Beauty..?

Here’s a great anecdote to introduce you to the greatness of Mother of Pearls..
Tony Duquette used to say….
“if there were only one abalone shell in the world, wars would be fought over it for
its beauty”. So his friends called him Tony Abalone.

How to use them…?

Wall mirrors lined with mother of pearls carving are a priceless possession. Hang it beside your house’s main door. This way you can always look your best while stepping in and out..!

The damsel with long locks
The girl With longg hair
Or Humari beti key baal Bahut lambe hain … Blah blah ..!Long hair
Woh roz champi Karti hai …
I mean … seriously .??!!!
Our mothers and grandmothers have already given us enough grief throughout our childhood about how important it is to have long flowy hair ..!

Some mothers consider their daughter’s long hair as their property ..
While the others feel this shows how ‘gharelu’ the girl is .!!
Come on mom .. M not your rapunzel!

So I finally gathered a lot of courage and chopped off some of my Ghar Ka kheti !
Petrified that my mom would leash hell over me… I decided to enter the house like a little mouse …
.. To my surprise my mom quiet liked my new avatar .Bob hair
I heaved a sigh of relief .. And clicked like a zillion selfies ..!

So, It dawned onto me that it doesn’t matter what my parents or friends think of how I should look …
.. If I really want to do something and Gonna 100%  live with it .. Then that’s all that really matters ..!

So all those girls out there who want to do something quirky and fun with their hair … Please do !

It’s only hair after all .. Dubara aa jayengay .!
