Pay day Purchases for August: Makeup, Jewelry & Bag haul!

September 16, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

August was a very long month of hot weather and hard work. The wait for payday stretches out in front of you and the weather sucks to such an extent that you sweat even in air conditioning. Have I made enough excuses for splurging on some new products yet? I did a little bit of travelling in August and the work load seemed to double up once I returned back home! I think now that the month has come to an end it does call for some treats up my sleeve and what better way to celebrate my payday time so I went shopping :D ! ;)

Bags

My first visit was to my beloved Flipkart.com to pick up a sling bag which I was in real need off . I’ll tell you the reason behind the purchase of this sling bag. I added a sling bag on my wish list ever since my previously loved and million times used E20 sling bag’s chain broke off :’( and I had to purchase a replacement asap to subside the pain of losing a fav sling bag :P . I bought this cute sling bag in pink color but the brand Lengloy sent me a damaged product for which I got a replacement in no time. So no complaints here, I am totally loving my new bag buy!

With the sale, and a cheeky extra discount on the Flipkart app I got this spoil baby for just INR 599! *Yay*

Jewelry

My shopping is incomplete if I have not splurged on a beautiful pair of earrings and guess what I ended up buying two of them this time, blame the weather ! ha ! :p

Next I splurged upon some ethnic bling bangles! My favorite ethnic accessory ! The first set of bangles is a box of colorful plastic studded bangles to match with every rain and rainbow outfit of mine :P I already received a dozen compliments while they were on my slim wrists ;) So super yay to them! I bought them from a store in a place called Mohammadi near Lucknow city! Now you know why they are so pretty ! The other set of bangles in light pink and white were just a random buy and I can hardly wait to flaunt them !

Since I indulged in a lot of travelling in August I got the chance to pick up some finest products across the places I travelled. My next purchase was double linked two finger rings in gold and silver. They are a unique set of stretch rings and I can’t wait to flaunt them on a festive event! Every woman should own these pieces of statement jewellery in their style wardrobe!

My last buy in the jewellery sec included a beautiful bow shaped white stone studded hair holder clip from Lucknow ! It was love at first sight for this one. A jeweled hair accessory you are often going to see me flaunting :D

All of the jewellery I bought can be worn separately on simple occasions or even at weddings and parties !

Makeup

It’s the season of chapped lips hence my next purchase was two lip balms from my favorite lip balm brand Nivea ! These two (Pomegranate and Cherry) along with peach are my 3 favorite lip balms from Nivea’s #BFF new range of lip balms (reviews of the lip balms coming up in the next post)! I also bought a Maybelline Cheeky glow blush which was on my wish list from a very long time from now. My next buy in the makeup section was Lakme Shine Line Black Eyeliner from Lakme’s Absolute range. I had heard good reviews about it and bought it on a sale of 25% off on Amazon.in

Hair care

My next purchase was a roots comb as my previous roots comb accidentally broke and I had to replace it with a new one. I also bought a random comb to brush my wet hair after bathing.

Traditional trend accessory: Latkans

My purchases would be incomplete if I din’t splurge on a pair of latkans ! No guessing here, I ended up buying three pairs ! All so beautiful ! You can read more about latkans here.

The month of August was a promising one and I am happy to have shopped for some of the most blingy and lovely things ! Hopefully September turns out to be as good as August !

What about you ? Did you shop to your heart’s content the previous month? temme!

Until Next time

Fashion Basics For Boys : Polo T Shirts

March 19, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

Summer will be here in no time and with all the sunshine comes the sweaty days ! All those people who will be experiencing the humidity will have little choice but to opt for comfy soft cotton clothing. I think women have a lot of choice when it comes to summer clothing like shorts, skirts and tank tops but as the temperature begins to rise, men have fewer and fewer options to turn to when it comes to keeping their style and comfort both in mind. Inevitably, most men go for the the comfy ‘Polo T-shirt’ , which is not only stylish but also relaxing when it comes to beating the heat. They are a summer essential being so versatile.
Boys can preferably for the tee but a polo tee is a smarter alternative to a tee. Polo T-shirts transform the whole outlook of how a man dresses. A man with a polo shirt on automatically enters the stylish club if he styles them with a stylish pair of jeans. Polo’s gives the smart or casual vibe to one who wears it. One can go classic by pairing a well fit US polo shirt with a pair of skinny jeans or add a modern twist by pairing it with khakhi pants or casual suit trousers.
But many people have this wrong judgment about polo T-shirts who brand it as for the ‘middle age daddy chic T-shirts’ . Polo T-shirts are an absolute favorite with youngsters who take dressing up stylishly seriously. Also boys should know how to rock the polo shirt in the right way or a disaster might just be waiting for you at the corner. A polo T-shirt is a great pick for summers but only for those who style it stylishly ! Also nailing the fit is essential and polo’s give the young appearance to a man when you it with good shorts, belt and loafers. So yep pairing of the polo shirts is also important ! US polo shirts are quite popular among the youngsters and when they are paired with the right pants or shorts (shirt tucked out please) It can give boys a really sharp look and make them appear stylish without effort!

Lookbook for USpolo T shirt for stylish men

I like it when a man puts in effort to dress stylishly. It shows he cares about his appearance as much as we women care for appearance for men. So are you up for rocking the a polo shirt ? A US polo shirt during the summer when paired with other smarter items – be it seasonal trousers, a waistcoat or a full on suit puts limelight on boys easily ! Us polo shirts are the shirts boys should be opting to buy this season ! You can shop for amazing US polo shirts at AskMe and be your smart stylish self even during the summers!
This season boys can rock the polo’s in navy, dark green, grey and white with a pair of shorts and walk away looking like models without effort!
Are you usually found in a Polo Tee during the summer or do you opt for something different? Or have your boyfriend/husband/brothers opting for polo’ T-shirts this season ?
Let me know in the comments …
Until Next time

Bollywood actresses - Short hair cut: Yay Or Nay ?

March 03, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

What do Priyanka Chopra, Huma Qureshi, Anushka Sharma,Sonakshi Sinha, Nargis Fakhri and Diya Mirza have in common? Well all of these leading Bollywood beauties have opted for short tresses and got their lovely long tresses chopped off! Personally I myself love long beautiful black hair , but a lil experimenting here and there is alright but getting my tresses chopped off is something I am never going to do! However these 4 beauties have gone ahead with their haircuts and it did work for a few and for some it was just another disaster. But hey its just hair, its gonna grow back ;) First it was Sonakshi Sinha , then following her footsteps was Diya Mirza and later on Huma Qureshi took the trend , and now Priyanka Chopra chopped her lovely long hair !

Getting their haircuts Priyanka Sonakshi

I remember a few girls in my college being very cautious about their long hair (they would not get it cut even when it reached below their butt:p) , and mind you they wouldn’t give a shit if they looked horrid or gorgeous and went to say they were very proud of their long always plaited hair! But there were other few girls who complained their house rules included never cutting their hair, poor girls, imagine always having to spend hours washing them and all those long hours combing and setting their hair! We love long hair but hair so long it sweeps the ground literally is so not our cup of tea! :D
I had flowy soft hair that fell till my lower back but I got a haircut two weeks back and now they fall till my shoulders in soft waves ^_^ All thanks to our celebs ;) Everybody is going the short hair route in bollywood!

Sonakshi Sinha got a hair cut which suits her well, she rocks it almost all the time. While she experiments even with her short hair I just wish she had sported her short hair do atleast once in her brother’s wedding celebrations. Other than that we have no complains here!

Diya Mirza carries her short hair do elegantly except that I liked her more in long hair. Don’t ask me why you can spot the difference yourself.

Priyanka Chopra’s new haircut was praised by many of her fans and no doubt she looks ultra cute in her new hair cut but can you forget the Peecee with long dark tresses in her pop song ‘ exotic’

Huma Qureshi for once shocked me with her horrible hair cut and choice of hair color. Lets just say Ms Qureshi needs to take a cue from a few other celeb mates of hers.

Anushka Sharma tops the charts when it comes to working the short hair do . Her shoulder length hair frames her face beautifully ! Also I simply cannot get past her short hair bob she sports in the movie, PK. I actually like Anushka’s hair do in PK much more than her real hair do ;)

Nargis Fakhri is the new entry in B town to have cut her hair and rumors have it she cut her own hair! The fringe does not do justice to that gorgeous face! She looked way better with the longer hair do !
Has the short hair trend caught up with you too?
Until next time,
Love

Statement clutches: One knuckle ring clutch bag !

February 26, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

You would be living under a rock if you have never owned and flaunted a clutch ! ;)
The second best favorite accessory after handbags are none other than our clutches ! Clutches have come a long way from being dainty to heavy, light to sparkly, studded to boxy, from minaudiere to knuckle ring clutches and so on.
Clutches seem to have taken much popularity in society, especially with celebrities, which in turn has caught up with us ‘not so famous fashionistas’ ;) . Also, they can be really cute and add a ~~simple~~ trendy touch to an outfit. A clutch, is something you hold with your hands and is small and now occur in unbelievable shapes- from oval to box, triangle, to heart shaped and so many more! Perfect to pick up for a wedding or a function where all you have to carry is your cell phone, debit card (I don’t own a credit card *so proud :P* ) and maybe lipstick/gloss or even your favorite lip balm!
Wedding season has begun (Already done with three weddings this month ! Gosh! ) If you want something that will add a slight attention seeking edge to your overall look, check out the latest styles of studded knuckle clutches ! They are here to sweep you off your feet ! These blingy accessories feature a studded ring around the top of the clutch. There are quite a few places you can pick up this hot new style, and it’s a look that’s perfect for a wedding/ reception , or when you are the bride’s best friend , even better if you are the bride ;). Most of the styles also feature an addition chained rope so that you can wear the handbag in many different ways.
What I am loving about this knuckle clutches is that it brings something totally different to the market, plus it’s an easy way to spice up an already blingy outfit! The cut-out ring also double as rings if you place your finger in them!) Now isn’t that something cool ! The knuckle handle of the gold and silver clutch I bought is a one clutch finger ring with cool embellishments and rhinestones, making it appear as if you were wearing a statement cocktail ring on practically each hand. Get a closer look at this growing knuckle ring clutch trend below.

The knuckled clasp clutch is a big trend this season and Alexander McQueen's fall handbag collection is full of them, they are bold and statement making. (Did you know almost all knuckle ring clutches selling out there on snapdeal/flipkart/Amazon are inspired by their designs ?) And I can’t stop but add them to my wish list ! *cheeky grin*

I went window shopping for them the other day and couldn’t resist these two beauties! Temme which one fares better? I’ll go for that ;)

Whether you’re dressing up or down you can easily add the knuckle clutch trend to your get-up. It’s an effortless way to add a little edge and style to your ensemble . Its sometimes liberating to not carry a huge tote or a heavy handbag around all the time! It’s also a great item to keep in your tote if you want to refresh your outfit and take it from desk to dinner ;)

Now these beauties have turned into my favourite statement clutches ! Everyone in my family loved them so much they ended up buying the same (altogether 4 clutches in gold and 2 in silver of the same design and color at my home now *smh*) Although they are bling and in your face sparkly but at least they are unique! There’s nothing I dislike more than walking into a crowded room and having on something that someone else is wearing. Ugh :P
Will you try the knuckle clutch trend?
You can buy this clutch from here and here
Will you be wearing this trend for weddings and parties ? Do you already own a statement clutch that you simply adore? Let me know in the comment section!
Until next time.
Stay awesome!
Love,
Najm

Spotlight On The Skirt: Must Have Mini & Midi Skirts of 2014!

January 06, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

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!

1/2/3/4

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!

1/2/3/4

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 !

Must have printed and high low mini skirts

1/2/3/4

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 !
We women love wearing skirts!

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!

Bollywood stars in midi skirts celeb style

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

7 ways to wear a Kaftan Fashion

The new style staple: Kaftans . 7 Ways to wear a Kaftan.

December 16, 2014 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

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 !

Palazzo pants styled kaftan, Namratha Joshipura

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
