Recently, a lovely reader of my blogs suggested me to spell out a few styling tips for people who are tall and skinny. Tall and Skinny! Wow, most people would give anything to have that sort of body type! 

The one thing you need to do is to simply dress to accentuate your two biggest blessings, your stature and slenderness. And how to do that? Keep reading:

If you have an event coming up wherein you want to slay in a beautiful ethnic outfit, you can pair:

  • a sleeveless crop top, bralette or blouse, with
  • a floor-length lehenga/skirt having an extravagant flare.
Alternatively you may go for:

  • a kurta, with
  • a gorgeous voluminous garara/sharara pants.
You can completely ditch the sleeveless part and go in for full or quarter sleeves which shouldn't be loose but well-fitted.

If going casual is your style, then
  • opt for something which is a little baggy around the bust, and gathered just a little below that (either with a belt or otherwise). For the bottom, you can either go all flowy or choose a skirt that sits perfectly on your curves or you can also throw on a pair of high-waisted trousers that widen towards the end of your legs as it moves downwards.
  • You can also try layering on a plain, solid, basic tee, cami or dress.

For a killer glam outing, all you need to keep in mind is 
  • adding an element of swank to your sleeves, and witness the magic it adds to the silhouette! And don't forget to stick to your curves with an eye-catching dress that fits like a dream and lasts till above the knees!
  • A full-length dress or a gown would also do the thing.

  Riya Arora If you are someone with a pear-shaped body and looking for ways to style yourself so as to look your personal best, this blog post is for you, read on: So, before moving on to styling, let us first analyze what a pear-shaped body is. A body shape wherein your thighs and hips are prominent and are on the heavier side than your upper half.   Credits:Pinterest So we conclude that the areas that we need to cover or prevent from being highlighted are your hips and thighs, and the rest of the body can be enhanced so as to make up for the unflattering areas. This can be done by (a) adding structure to your silhouette and (b) using statement pieces to doll yourself up. To make it simpler, let us take an example:do you remember, during your school days when you got low grades in some subjects while scoring great in others, and how very cleverly you presented the great ones before the 'not so good' ones to your family while breaking your academic result to them so as t...

Nailing it at Work!

Riya Arora While heading out for work, there is lesser scope to making a style statement relative to other outings, owing to the formal code of dressing that one needs to adhere to. Nevertheless, the principle of " less is more " fits here perfectly. You do not need to add many elements to your look. Instead one needs to focus on enhancing the elements already present. Now, one's hands and feet pay an equally important role in making or breaking one's look as one's face does. A few basic general things to strictly follow are keeping your hands and feet:- ● neat and tidy,  ● well moisturised,  ● finger nails and toe nails to be properly cleaned,trimmed and kept to a medium or short length. Coming to choosing nail paints, here are my top picks for Work-Appropriate Nail Paints that are sure to make your efficient hands look more put together and well-groomed. (You can, of course, opt for bare nails, that's completely doable too!) 1. Kay Beauty ...
