<div align="justify">
I dumped my work stuff in my house and rushed out. I walked steadily towards the venue, my hair escaping from the bun. I rushed through smoke and dust; my platform slippers flipped wet mud droplets on my legs. I did not bother. I was late already. A weekend had just got over. Here I was, waking up on a Tuesday to start the mission. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Still, I was confident I will pull it off. I am an old player in this game, after all. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
I reached, panting and sweaty, all the perfume mostly faded (whatever strain I may be in, time / money, looking and dressing good can never be compromised on. I feel). I ran up the stairs, entered the sliding doors and sighed noisily. I smiled at the mannequins, startling the poor guard. I devoured the smells of the place. <i>I’m here, finally</i>, I thought. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Shopping! The mall! Nothing makes me happier. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<img align="left" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPFhyfTqWRQd6FmMd9mXOJ-b-s2yClcZwoljQhYlfoqXrxtaYtddIHKl9qpMJPsznH3Ok9lRFuTtsgpA0a4BOL38S9L0g6aWae-L15yYXR_dUkeA5B5sHDv5l4yUPhUcAMMf7IIIJRFxpU/s400/shopping_clipart.jpg" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: left; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />I went on a clothes-picking frenzy pushing little girls and fat ladies aside in the process. <i>I have a mission to accomplish</i>; I glared at them haughtily. So what if I have enough clothes to clothe half of the city, I still deserve better things in life. After all the anguish and suffering I go through being a single working girl, don’t I deserve some, at least little reward? I picked that shirt with the cute colour and I also picked that top with the jazzy buttons. So what if I didn’t like the shirt’s cloth or the top’s colour. You can’t get everything, you know. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Shopping being such a wonderful therapy that cures so many problems faced by ladies log, I hate when it causes pain. The pain of having to choose just one pair of jeans. Or just one scarf, and keep back all those trendy pieces you picked up. So I just pick them all. What if I find someone else wearing a similar piece some day? How will I console my poor heart? How will I compensate my deprived heart? </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
I beat girls to trial rooms. I studied the pieces on shelves and hoarded them on my arm like they were groceries till my arm felt senseless. I rummaged through racks, much to the salesgirl’s distress and picked out every item of my size (and a size lower and higher) and dragged them into the tiny trial room. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
‘Size S in this? And longer shorts like these?’ I rattled off queries enthusiastically to the salesgirl. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
‘No’, the grumpy salesgirl replied coldly and scuttled away. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
How mean! </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
‘Hmph’ I frowned. ‘Poor thing. Must be really frustrated about something. Pity.’ </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
My shopaholic aura must have been spotted by the salesgirls by the jewellery counter. I looked through the racks importantly while those girls hung around me like bees. I shoved a few items into a girl’s hands, asking her to hold them for me and flung orders at her. The girl looked gobsmacked. I ignored. I was on a roll and no one could come in my way. I picked up more items to try and moved towards the trial rooms leaving her looking lost holding the accessories basket in her <a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>hand. It is always like this when I shop. Salesgirls just become my<img align="right" border="0" height="207" src="http://www.business-clipart.com/business_clipart_images/woman_with_shopping_silhouette_0515-0911-2800-5229_SMU.jpg" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" width="207" /> personal assistants for some time. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
After I was convinced that I had left nothing untried, I made my way to the counter (and made another trip to the trial room because I saw something on the way). My smug expression was wiped off for a moment when the bill amount was displayed. What the hell is with inflation?! But well, I wanted it, I bought it. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
I walked out of the mall a little shaken. I passed my neighbourhood boutique and bowed my head. Enough (for today). </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
I wonder what Daddy Dearest, who keeps a tab on my bank account activities, will say and when. </div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Is this how you shop too? How do you shop?</div>

<div align="justify">
Ok. I have returned some weeks back from a fabulous vacation to <a href="http://travelrage.wordpress.com/category/singapore/" target="_blank">Singapore</a>. Even though it was my third visit to this country, I am not bored and will be game to go for the fourth time. Having travelled to parts of Europe and Australia, I will rate Singaporeans as the best dressed people. In fact, the whole of SE Asia – Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong and Thailand. The girls are petite, silky skinned and doll-like. Anything – dresses to bathroom slippers to shorts to faded jeans – looks good on them. My favourite pass time in Singapore, apart from eating and clicking photos, was drooling over Singaporeans. Their hairstyles, clothes and make up was perfect. There is lot of inspiration to be drawn from them!</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
So, how could I not shop from this fashionable country?? I did! And among the various things I bought, the most precious thing was this lace dress I got from Bugis Street.</div>

<div align="justify">
Travel is a bug for me. It has bit me big time since the last 2 years. Since my parents have banned me from any more foreign holidays, I am looking within home and I am marvelled at the treasures hidden in Gujarat itself. We decently did a girls trip to <a href="http://travelrage.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/away-we-go-to-ahmedabad-and-more/" target="_blank">Ahmedabad</a> and nearby places. The architecture is amazing – delicate, mysterious and grand. I was left gaping.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Anyway. I found this crochet <em>koti </em>(jacket) that I had got my grandmother to make when I was in school. If you remember the 90’s this fashion was a rage (K<em>otis</em> over oversized shirts. Look at Suchitra’s outfit at the end of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly1wlH9qOds" target="_blank">this song</a>). Now that its spring and crochet / lace is in, I dug this out and this looks oh-so-smart. Must thank Grandma for this! She will be delighted. </div>

I wish I was in college and had loads of money. I wish I worked for Vogue. I wish I was in New York and had loads of money. I could wear these outfits regularly and not wait for special occasions to wear them. Even if I could easily put together any of these outfits, I would feel miserable if it gets wasted on the crowd / location / event.</div>

And Be Inspired.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div align="justify">
Ok. So many Bollywood songs are copied or ‘inspired’ from English/Korean/Russian songs. Many hindi movie songs are ‘inspired’ from Indian folk songs. Indian actresses copy / imitate styles of Hollywood (Sonam Kapoor and JLo in <a href="http://ilovebollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sonam-jlo-gucci.jpg" target="_blank">Gucci evening gown</a>??). My question is, is there a problem with that - getting inspired, which is crudely put as copying or imitating? Do we stop liking a song when we come to know it’s been copied from an English song? As long as an equally beautiful duplicate is created, what’s the harm? It’s another form of beauty or art. Looking at it from another angle, you get to appreciate two forms of the same music piece or appreciate the better one, whichever one it is. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">PS: Did you know the song ‘Teri Meri’ from Bodyguard has been taken up from the song La Betleem Colo-n Jos by Cleopatra Stratan (its a Romanian song). Listen to it </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuHexMdixYQ&feature=fvst" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="text-align: left;">. It’s sung by a little girl who has a very very cute voice. This doesn’t stop me from still loving Teri Meri.</span></div>

In my 6.5 years of work experience, I have acquired a lot of skills:<br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
1. Smart work: Something which I don’t think I have understood but am hopeful someday I will be an expert in this aspect.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
2. Patience / Tolerance: Ability to stay cool, calm and composed in most testing / trying situations. Courtesy - an individual called The Boss.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
3. Tact: Ability to be nice to most irritating pests with whom you have no intentions of interacting at work, forget beyond.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
4. Stretched Limits: I never knew I could play so much with numbers, Excel sheets, presentations and letters even though I don’t give a damn about what happens to them subsequently.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
5. Sacrifice: Have forgone all selfish interests in life like friends, food, movies, hobbies and personal space. There is whole life left to be selfish, right?</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
I am not a journo. Or an artist. Or a write. Nor a designer.</div>

I knew I would love Hyderabad. Somehow, the excitement of the primary reason for our visit there, ie, my cousin’s wedding, wasn’t as much as the excitement of Hyderabadi Biryani, Charminar and Golcond Fort was. I looked forward to escaping into Hyderabad’s palaces and markets. After the trip is over now, I look back and think though it was a brilliant trip, I haven’t had enough of the tech city. Hyderabad, with its contrasting dimensions – malls and narrow lanes; international brands and Lad Bazaar; flyovers and tiny markets – has enthralled me. </div>

Life is generally good. Except the terrible M word and now the B word (B stands for budget. The whole world knows how troubled I am because of the budgeting exercise at work). Of course, except that, everything is wonderful.</div>

My days are full these days – with work, friends, gym, books and dreams of my new venture. Having stayed for almost 7 years in Corporate,. my hands are itching to try something else. Something more creative, dynamic and satisfying. While I have lots of plans and big dreams, putting them into reality is a challenge.</div>

There’s nothing like a lovely Sunday brunch with a bunch of dear friends. This is what we did recently and ate to our heart’s content at Taj. I put together this outfit on that fun day. Would you believe it if I said that the top is actually tailor made and the cloth piece was retrieved by me just before the wholesale cloth shop owner discarded this pretty piece as waste? Never imagine it would look <em>this</em> beautiful in the end!</div>

So things took only little time to set up. My friends ask me – Oh, you’ve been fast. Everything set already? Oh ye, what did you think? I’d live in scarcity and misery??!!!<br />
<br />
<div align="justify">
I have taken reins in my hands and settled in fast in the new house. After arranging for boring (and necessary) stuff like maid, dhobhi, car cleaner and food, I have started exploring the new city and meeting people. Friends? So soon, you may ask? Well, lets just call it my magic touch.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Meanwhile, Surat memories refuse to fade away. I miss all my friends there. They keep calling me and my heart still swells with pleasure while talking to them or even thinking of them.</div>

New house, new flat mate, new city, new people, new maid, new neighbours, new watchmen, new colleagues. Never knew I would take so much time to settle. Never knew I would keep feeling alien and strange for a such a long time.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
How many ever plans I had for the new city, I can’t help but feel lost right now. Still not used to this house. Still not come into a comfortable daily routine. Each day is still very new and strange and keeps throwing surprises every moment.</div>

I just hope I settle down fast so that I can move on to better things than finding the laundry guy and buying utilities for the maid.</div>

<a href="http://belleplante.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/aditi/" target="_blank">My little cousin</a> has grown up now. We, inseparables, do crazy stuff whenever we are together. We forget the whole world when we are in each other’s company. She is no longer my little girl; she’s grown! She’s much, much taller than me! When she was little, she was the cutest girl around. Today, she’s grown into a pretty young lady and one of the best friends I have.</div>

We went crazy with this little, random photo shoot we did when I went to her place during Diwali. Adi has beautiful features – a bright smile, a cute nose and eyes that dance every time she talks disclosing the liveliness that resides within her.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">Adi’s Mom, my Aunt, herself is very artistic and creative and I know from where Adi gets her genes. Take a note of the beaded neck piece, wooden bangles and </span><em style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">chappals</em><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">. Mami has scoured up all of these from streets like Colaba Causeway and Bandra. My grandfather’s 25 year old Fiat acted as a perfect background!</span></div>

Fusion dressing will never bore me. How much ever I love denim and stilettoes, wooden jewellery, indian block print and <em>bandhini </em>will always attract me. Indian kitsch (if that’s what indian fusion has turned into), old walls, vintage doors, abandoned old houses, creepers on old walls, <em>chappals – </em>will remain a part of my deep obsessions.</div>NShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09429069632437303810noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331369559562844307.post-32656174048266798992011-11-10T08:59:00.000-08:002011-11-10T08:59:51.878-08:00Keep Glowing<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">My skin is glowing these days. Of course I love it. I love the compliments even more. Every time I wash my face, I tilt and turn my head so that light falls on different portions my face, showing the glow and smoothness. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have just been following a simple regime, use good effective products (natural and cosmetic) and am disciplined about it. So here is what I do – </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Morning wash: Body Shop Tea Tree oil face wash </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Morning moisturizing: Neutrogena oil free moisturizer </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Afternoon: Wash with water a couple of times and once with Himalaya face wash followed by Body Shop Vitamin C daily day moisturizer </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Evening: Himalaya Cleaning Milk, Nivea or VLCC Toner & Biotique Morning Nectar moisturizer / Johnsons baby cream. Sometimes I just use Vitamin C face wash by Body Shop followed by face cream. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Additional: </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wednesday: Ayur Neem face mask / homemade besan + honey + milk mask </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Friday Night after cleansing: Aloe Vera Hyderating Mask by Body Shop </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sunday: Body Shop Papaya scrub </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To sum it up, use a good face wash in the morning and follow it with a non sticky oil free day cream. Cleanse-tone-moisturize your skin in the evening. Scrubbing and applying a face mask once a week is a must. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A few tips here and there: </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- A good night cream is a MUST. Going off to sleep without applying a layer of nice smelling, soft cream on your face is a crime! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Scrub only once a week. Use one of the fruity flavours The Body Shop has. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Minimize use of face wash as much as possible. Though not as hard as soap is, face wash is still made up of chemicals. Use cleansers and toners instead. They clean the skin equally well and don’t snatch away all the moisture. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Scour the kitchen to make natural masks / mixes. Some ingredients like tomato, papaya or honey act like mask in themselves.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Cover your face with a stole / dupatta while travelling on road. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I may be a little obsessed with skin care but I love it. I love the aroma of papaya scrub and the feel of my skin after I wash off the besan + honey mask. How could I let laziness come in between this beautiful feeling!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Is there anything special you do that makes your skin feel heavenly? Is there an aroma that your skin loves? Tell me! </div></div>NShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09429069632437303810noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331369559562844307.post-25199096899202346312011-10-31T08:49:00.000-07:002012-07-29T04:07:55.267-07:00Sugarbabe<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

It’s fun doing girlie stuff sometimes – you know dressing up and stuff. I can’t believe I am doing this at the age of 28. But why not? I call myself a bored HR professional and I really need something exciting and fun going on to spice up my life. So, I have this really sweet friend named Krishna (and her Mom is a darling too) and we keep meeting up for photo shoots. </div>

Sad that she is getting married and going away soon. Don’t get me wrong; I am realllly happy for her and all but I am going to miss her! I am going to miss her innocent questions and crazy tactics and loving nature. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Is the white and denim combination every going to go out of fashion? I am sure it won’t and I hope it doesn’t. I am CRAZY about denims and whites; been hoarding them ever since I can remember. Anyway, my favourite white outfit out of the many whites I have is this Valleygirl shirt I got from Australia last year. The fit is amazing – sexy and elegant and the texture feels like a baby’s skin!</span><br />
<div align="justify">

Shorts are the most comfortable thing ever! I wonder why we aren’t allowed to wear them at work. </div>

Now that I am back from my trip into the boring office routine, I am forever looking for opportunities to dress up and go out. And EAT, of course!! It is quite surprizing that eating out for 10 days in Europe / airplane / airport / various cafes hasn’t tired me out and I am still hungry for more.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
Anyway, this time we choose to go to this place called <a href="http://foodrage.blogspot.com/2011/05/restaurant-reviewvillage-surat.html" target="_blank">The Village</a>, which is quite near my place. The main reason I wanted to go there was because I missed attending Garba this year (yes, this year too) and Village has Garba! So I, along with my Gujju colleagues go there and have a blast of a time.</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
And, ok, there was another reason. I wanted to wear these brand new dhoti pants.</div>

I spent the whole day looking at the watch repeatedly. I wished the day gets over soon and I get there. I know, I am not really running short of time but I am feeling that sense of urgency. As if, I was approaching a deadline. I was afraid to be even a minute late, forget days late. I didn’t really have to go there alone; I could have gone with my friend on Thursday, as per our plan. But no. I HAD TO go today itself. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Panic gripped me when I realized that a weekend had just got over and I might be late and will not be successful in getting what I want. My mind was set on it. I wanted it and no way was I going to lose it due to my own laziness. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">I rushed immediately on reaching home. I headed straight there. And…. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">VOILA! This new pair of nude coloured, open-toed pumps have got added to my shoes collection! </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Have recently taken a fetish for pumps. Pumps can be difficult to walk in, if the heel is higher than 3 inches but they look <i>auhsum</i>!! (I know I am off shopping for a few months but this was on sale; so I made an exception!) </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dEfZ5uHU7-g/ThxoK6kTo7I/AAAAAAAAAQs/XGBVd5x41WY/s1600-h/DSC0084511%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC0084511" border="0" height="267" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-WKj465kpZRA/ThxoL__AKzI/AAAAAAAAAQw/KAMckob_Kec/DSC0084511_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DSC0084511" width="473" /></a><i>The latest addition to my shoes collection. Nude coloured, open toed pumps from Inc 5</i></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Pumps look great with pencil skirts, skinny pants (my favourite combination), knee length dresses & ball gowns. One needs a little practice to walk properly in them and manage to look graceful. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Pumps come in different materials like suede, leather and satin. The heel height ranges from 2 inch to 6 inches. They even come in flats but nowadays, they are made with pointy heel (the flat ones are usually called ballerinas). </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-VEfoxQlcsGM/ThxoNF4dl1I/AAAAAAAAAQ0/iKYBlrP-vPo/s1600-h/DSC00850%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC00850" border="0" height="407" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-FUnkH3n3D4c/ThxoN-u0f0I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/-ce2rQLSuqk/DSC00850_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DSC00850" width="310" /></a><i>Soft leather mauve open toed pumps from Enroute</i></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Pumps are also known as Court Shoes (UK english). They originated as men’s flat shoes and were known as <i>pompes</i>. Today, they are considered as most sexy and glamorous. Hardly anyone on the red carpet wears flats or platforms! Pumps come in plain or printed, closed, open-toed or peep-toed, almond, round or square front and can have heels of various heights. </div><div align="justify"><br />

You can’t really dress up in your favourite jeans and flip flops and walk in. But a girl can’t lead a boring life and definitely not <i>look</i> boring! I try to chip in a new item here, a different look there and create a look. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify">Here’s what I do to glam up my days a bit:</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><b>Colored Lenses</b></div><div align="justify"><b> </b> </div><div align="justify">I posses hazel, green, grey and brown coloured lenses. Take my advice; they are super fun! Hazel and brown are my favourites in the smokey, <i>kohl</i>ed eyes look. They make your eyes look much more sensuous than normal black eyes. They can very well be worn daily as these colours are not exceptional and many Indians have brown/hazel eyes. Grey lenses look best with a simple liner on the top eye lid. Gives a dreamy, girly look. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><b>Chopstick Buns</b></div><div align="justify"><b> </b> </div><div align="justify">You are supposed to be all professional at work and are expected to look non messy. A bun is the best for such looks. Buns are no longer considered ‘aunty/<i>behenji</i>’ type. They have become hip and sexy. Tie up a high bun with strands of hair coming loose from the bun (this would come naturally if you have a layered haircut). Hold it on with a pen, a chopstick, a clutcher or a bun stick. I have a red chopstick with cute little design at the end which my sister got for me from Singapore and a thick, lime green one which I sneaked from a Korean restaurant in Melbourne. Check out chopstick bun videos on Youtube. Yeah, learnt all the stuff there! Check out these links: </div><div align="justify"><br />

</div><div align="justify"><b>The Desi Girl Look</b></div><div align="justify"><b> </b> </div><div align="justify">You might hate the <i>salwar-kameez</i> affair at work (I do), especially during Summers. Don’t mind them and convert your look into a pure ‘<i>Desi</i>-girl’ look. You will realize, <i>salwar-kameez</i> looks sexy too. I am personally not in favour of the monotonous short-<i>kurta</i>-lycra <i>churidar</i> combo as it is way too common and not very feminine. I prefer <i>patia</i>la with short <i>kurtas</i>. Now, <i>that</i> makes a girl look like a real <i>soni kudi</i>! Accessorize with sexy dangling stone, ring and metal earrings with lots of stone work or <i>jhumkas</i> to give the effect. Complete the whole look with <i>mojdis</i>. Check out these <i>mojdis</i> I got from Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, some 4 years back. These are the only ones I own and love them totally. </div><div align="justify"><br />

</div><div align="justify"><b>Accessorize</b></div><div align="justify"><b> </b> </div><div align="justify">Whatever you opt for – western formals, sari, salwar-kameez or the jeans & t-shirt, you can accessorize in many, many ways. Bangles, bracelets, rings, pendants, payal, nose rings and bags. A tiny piece of jewellery like a ring can add a sudden oomph factor to your whole look. I like the way my fingers look with the 2 rings I wear currently. I also make sure I wear earrings to glam up a simple churidar-kurta pair. </div><div align="justify"><br />

</div><div align="justify"><b>Create a niche for yourself</b></div><div align="justify"><b> </b> </div><div align="justify">Do or wear something that others don’t. and do it consistently. For example, the coloured lenses that I wear. Or the payal that I wear at times. Or, the smokey eyes look that I often don. You will become known for that particular style and when that is seen on somebody else, girls will go like ‘Hey, that’s what Sonali does!’. Experiment and decide what you like the most and practice it regularly.</div><div align="justify"> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-lATKR08Qyb4/Tg8yQx0BLWI/AAAAAAAAAK8/-GSDKyUCv7M/s1600-h/DSC00757%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC00757" border="0" height="339" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UVvpYghSWYk/Tg8yRsZIbBI/AAAAAAAAALA/PhP8WBTdgE0/DSC00757_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="DSC00757" width="255" /></a> </div><div align="center">My metal ring </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><b>Let your skin glow</b></div><div align="justify"><b> </b> </div><div align="justify">A glowing skin enhances your look automatically. Then whether you put on make up or not, you will look good anyway. Add a touch of lip gloss in soft tones like peach pinks or nudes and your face becomes prettier. <a href="http://belleplante.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/skin-care-for-working-girls/">A few tips on skin care here</a>. Drink lots of water. Avoid fried stuff. Cleanse and moisturize your skin thoroughly regularly. Apply home made face masks once or twice a week to feel the difference. </div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"><b>Dare to dress up</b></div><div align="justify"><b> </b> </div><div align="justify">I am one of those who gets so exhausted by my day job that I have no enthusiasm left for anything else (at times. Its all mental strain). If I had to go out on weekends or in the evening for dinner or a movie, I would just put on the pair of jeans found on top of the pile and some t shirt and my daily shoes and go out. I don’t do that now. I use each opportunity of going out as an occasion. I dress up. I actually do. I choose the shoes that would go with the outfit, I choose the bag and the eye make up (I love eye make up). It makes you feel good about yourself and you get to try on or experiment and see what looks good on you. Gives you ideas.</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Above all, be confident. Its an undeniable fact that everyone likes a confident woman. Whatever you wear, be confident and feel good about it. You be different or create a style statement, be confident about it and carry it off well. See others envy your classiness and elegance!</div><div align="justify"><br />
