The Classic Knot – Adding a touch of colour and texture to your outfit is super-duper easy! Put the scarf around your neck with the two ties in front, one longer than the other. Take the longer one, give it a twirl around your neck and bring the tie back in place so the ties are now equal.

The Pashmina Look – Fold the scarf in half and position it in front of your neck with the ends hanging over your back. Crisscross the ends and bring them to the front again. Tie a loose knot and tuck it underneath the wrapped portion, just below your neck and gently pull down the wrap over the knot. Spread out the ends of the scarf as much as possible for volume and voila!! The end result should look like a loose polo neck-cum-scarf

In short, minis are (once again) very, very hot.
Is the miniskirt the feminist’s new uniform? Both are currently trending in fashion. Of course the correlation between skirt lengths and the culture at large is nothing new.
Skirts bring out the feminine side of women. I prefer skirts over jeans and tights. With designers trying out their hands on making mini skirts in different materials , they have become a rage ! Skirts in polka dots , skin tight jeans mini skirts and lace mini skirts are few of the skirts you’ll love that too if you get them at affordable prices from flipkart ! Check out the skirt and go shopping!

They make you feel delectable and girly and feels so much more like a woman! In a world where gender confusions have risen up, it’s the skirts talking ! There is something ultra feminine about skirts!

Wearing skirts is actually freeing ! With so many trends the skirt style just got better! And floral printed skirts are the best thing that happened to mini skirts !

It’s a whole new thing that you have a lot of complications while wearing one but hey in order to look fashionably stylish and different its worth wearing em !

Mini skirts have made a lot of appearances on and off screen in Bollywood , with almost all actresses sporting mini’s , it looks like mini skirts can never go out of style! here are a few Celebs who wear their mini’s real well!

Anyhoo Midi’s are the new minis !
Midi’s are back in the trend talk wow and how! Coming in different, bolder colors, random designs, etc.  nd can end just below the knees or a couple of inches above the ankle. Also they have more variants now- full, flowing, pleated, etc. So there is a style that everyone can adapt their midi-skirt to.
The midi skirt is a wear-anywhere clothing, and you can easily carry it off be it either for a morning tea party to a girls night out. hence a midi skirt, especially with a high waist line is a must have this season !
There are uncountable ways that you can wear and style a midi skirt, making the midi’s one of the most versatile fashion garments around. You can take it out for a formal occasion or a night on the town, but also rock it carefree and casual with tees and flats. And the advantages go on increasing the midi’ styling possibilities, which are endless . Plus they are super comfy !
The past year 2014 saw a lot of celebs sporting the midi look paired with crop tops. Hoping this trend is here to stay for !
The bollywood divas just wouldn’t stop sporting the comfy skirt and gave us a lot of outfits we loved every bit !

Love the way Kangana , Deepika and Sonam pair their crop tops with their following midi skirts ! Elegance personified ! Kareena takes up the skirt a notch higher ! Loved it!

The celebs always made sure they surprised us with every midi skirt outfit they took out for an outing, loving almost all of the looks above ! The Floral skirt on Sonakshi is a welcome change and Huma carries her skirt well! Whereas for Kangana and Alia , what can we say they were born to carry off any midi skirt look we awe !

And lets not forget the stunning Sonam Kapoor who floored us with her midi skirt appearances , she was a clear winner when it came to midi skirts ! couldn’t put a finger on any of her midi outfits, she wore all of them with confidence and looked absolutely stunning in every skirt!
here’s hoping we get to see more of this skirt all over India ! Girls don’t forget to experiment if you haven't tried a midi skirt yet , time to stop thinking and bring one home like NOW!
Until next time

Style statement just got refined whe
n designers started bringing Kaftan styled kurtas and dresses on the runway!
So lets begin with the history of Kaftans or (Caftans)..
What is a Kaftan? A Kaftan is an ankle-length or a mid length dress front-buttoned cloak or overdress first worn by the Persians in the 600 B.C’s  and is usually made of light fabric such as cotton, silk or cashmere.
The Kaftan trend have re-emerged throughout the fashion history again and again. It might just sink in and disappear for a while but when its back it just gets better! 
The trend setting era: The timeless, ethereal and floaty nature of the Kaftans  suits all body shapes and sizes. Its one of their best features. Those who thought Kaftans were only for beachwear , rethink again! Also for those who are little over weight and self conscious, Kaftans are the best options to hide those extra pounds. ;)
Ethnic edge to the Kaftans: It can also be worn as a Churidaar Kameez top . YES ! :D But just make the hemline reaches below the knees or till it touches your ankles. That’s it! Team it up with a pair of comfy chudi pants. And without much effort the spotlight turns on you.
There’s no doubt that kaftans give the wearer both a sensual and elegant appeal.
7 ways to style a Kaftan and how to each time wear it differently:
1. Beach wear : Kaftans are a perfect way to cover up  after a swim at a beach !

2. Palazzo Pants : Style an elegant Kaftan with a pair of Palazzo pants and in a jiffy you are ready to rock the world. Wear it to a tea party, social event, or even hell shopping !

Monochrome trend: A white chic kaftan over striped pants, you’ll end up looking like a diva!

3. Ethnic touch: Its so nice to see people actually experimenting even in the ethnic field and making it way into the experimental looks is the beautiful chudiar paired with a kaftan long kurts ! Is it pretty or is it pretty ? ;)

4. Maxi length : Comfortable and stylish maxis are replacing boring figure hugging maxis ! Way to go ! 

5. Sophisticated gown dress - (One shouldered) : This ones our favorite! A gown and a dress that too a kaftan? Wow and how! Simply stunning. One can wear them and feel comfortable and look fashionably forward at the same time!

6. Dhoti Pants: The dhoti pants are never out of fashion , so why not pair it with a kaftan top and dazzle the world?
 
7. Skirty edge: Pair a Kaftan with a set of hot pencil skirt , and nothing ever could go wrong? Agree?  

Which one of the style's have you already worn? And which among these are your favorites?
(Ps: You can buy all the designer Kaftans and Bottom wear at Pernia’s Pop-up shop!) Happy shopping!)
Until next time
Love
