One of those times when work takes a toll on you and while need time off to relax and distress, you're just too busy for that. A holiday is a very distant dream and even a relaxing spa comes a close second. But when the stars are shining in your direction, things fall in place.<br />
<br />
That's right, I finally got my best solution with Spa on Wheels - a spa session on the back of a luxury van, that'll pick and drop you at the location of your choice. If you're in Mumbai you'd know its a God sent blessing.<br />
<br />
So I was booked for spa session on a Thursday evening, when I swapped that dreadful ride from work to home with a relaxing spa on wheels by <a href="http://www.thefourfountainsspa.in/spa-on-wheels/mumbai" target="_blank">The Four Fountains Spa</a>. <br />
<br />
Work to home en route spa, now that's a wonderful start of 2014.<br />
<br />
<strong>Welcome:</strong> The Spa arrived 15 minutes before time and confirmed their arrival. I was so excited for this new experience and quickly packed, rushed out and boarded the Spa - a van designed by Dilip Chhabria {now of course that gets brownie points}. I was greeted by a friendly welcoming chauffer who took my stuff and showed me inside the back of the Van. I stepped inside and was greeted by two masseuse, who quickly seated me to one of the two relaxing comfortable luxury seats (180 degree adjustable - think first class seats in an airplane). It was quite spacious with wooden flooring and beige interiors. Relaxing spa music and smell immediately worked its way to relax me.<br />
<br />
<strong>What I tried:</strong> I opted for a traditional thai head to toe massage with 2 therapists. Considering the restrictions, it was a dry body massage {while I was dressed up} and oil was used only for the foot massage.<br />
<br />
I lied down flat on the seat facing the ceiling. There was a TV screen right in front flashing view of the front of the van, you can watch the road and know where are you headed. Interesting and thoughtful. Although a cool idea, but you may be a little uncomfortable to be in an unknown Van. The camera keeps you relaxed as you exactly know where you are going.<br />

<br />
So there I was, finally ready to get all the stress out of my system and trying to not think about work, projects, deadlines. Only blank, happy mind.<br />
<br />
<strong>The treatment:</strong> The treatment began with a simple ritual of washing and scrubbing the feet, quickly followed by the foot massage but one girl and head massage by the other. She checked if I wanted a dry head massage or want to use the oil, I chose dry. The body massage followed as I lied just straight facing the ceiling. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5lEZHhnWt7VwqjsZASpw3GMS0OkNHLDf2YzRuSFf338DBdPIW7dS5VwljczV5Nsfd_eheTo-Lph-HUFfXqbsz4sS_9SAKzJ_B3kGlcYH7dQX8ayJSCyuYE6tgTSb-WjxNU4yWLW0Dz5md/s1600/Beautifyflr+-+Spa+on+Wheels.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5lEZHhnWt7VwqjsZASpw3GMS0OkNHLDf2YzRuSFf338DBdPIW7dS5VwljczV5Nsfd_eheTo-Lph-HUFfXqbsz4sS_9SAKzJ_B3kGlcYH7dQX8ayJSCyuYE6tgTSb-WjxNU4yWLW0Dz5md/s1600/Beautifyflr+-+Spa+on+Wheels.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It was the shortest and the best one hour I spent {en route}. Even before I knew, the one-hour was done, and since we didn't reach the destination {Oh ya that's Mumbai traffic} I spruced up and quietly sat down listening to the soothing music, watching the screen in front and waiting to be pull on my driveway.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Experience</strong>: The head massage was very relaxing. Foot massage I'd give a six on ten, it was good but I'd have better massages, and I'd want the masseuse to be more friendly {and perhaps smiling}. The body massage was a five on ten, considering its a van and it has its restrictions. <br />
<br />
I found the van a little noisy, and the music could do little to fix that.<br />
<br />
All in all I had a great experience, while I would not substitute it with my regular spa, but its a great way to relax when you're pressed with time. In fact its a wonderful gift to those pressed with time.<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>1. Derm Organic Shampoo -</strong> Its really hard to find shampoos that are not harsh for hair, would make them beautiful (not just in the short term but would do good to your hair in the long haul) and which is cruelty free - all at the same time. Ever since I discovered DermOrganic Shampoo I've been coveting over this product. It claims to have facial cleansers, which means no harsh chemicals, is crulety free and is enriched with Argan Oil and Omega-6 and Linoleic Acid, Vitamin E, Panthenol, Rice Amino Acids, and anti-oxidant plant extracts. Just can't wait to get my hands on it soon. I've tried the Moroccon Oil Shampoo and it's a rubbish product full of chemicals. Hoping this one is as natural as it claims. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #4d5255; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/17px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"></span></span><br />
<br />
<strong>2. Lucas Papaw Ointment</strong> - Chapped lips, sunburn, minor burns, eczema - all problems one solution Lucas Papaw Ointment. Its a vegan ointment that has been in existence since over 100 years and has a big celebrity following too. I use Elizabeth Arden 8 hrs cream that has similar use, but with very different ingredients. Minor gripe, Lucas uses petroleum jelly. But I am definitely going to try it, on my wishlist!!<br />
<br />
<strong>3. Stark Cleansing Balm -</strong> A balm that works as a cleanser and a hydrator; it melts away daily grime and dirt replenishing your skin with healthy antioxidant rich plant derived oils and butters. Plus its vegan. Now isn't that a wonderful product? The <a href="http://www.starkskincare.com/pages/about-us" target="_blank">About us</a> section of Stark Sincare is very compelling. It reads "We don't like the beauty industry, and lo and behold, we make all-natural skincare products. Some might think that's a bit of a conundrum, but we're ok with it. We're comfortable in our own skin, and we want you to be as well", I was sold by it and their products are a big on my wishlist. In fact Green Tea Detox Clay Mask from Stark is another vegan product that I would love to try.<br />
<br />
<strong>4. Betty Hula Champagne and Spice Moisturising Cream</strong> - I found this on Glamour Magazine's "How to be naturally beautiful" List and have been wanting it ever since. It read "It not only comes in cutest pot known to womankind, but it smells absolutely divine and leaves the skin super smooth. Plus, the potent mix of natural shea butter, cocoa butter, aloe vera and coconut oil makes it great for smoothing irritations and fading scars and stretch marks." All of this in a vegan moisturisier, I am totally excited to lay my hands on this vegan product too.<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 16px/26px Georgia, Palatino, "Palatino Linotype", Times, "Times New Roman", serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />
<br />
<strong>5. OCC Lip Tar -</strong> I've used Lip Tar and I am in love with them (<a href="http://www.styledestino.com/2013/09/lets-talk-vegan-lip-colours.html" target="_blank">read here</a>). Their reds are divine reds and I am sure the other colours from their lip tar range are equally amazing. I got them from US to India through a friend, and the product was amazing. It's really hard to find good vegan makeup, especially the lip colours. This product by all standard is amazing. Want them in all colours!!!</div>

This fashion era is all about making a strong statement - bold yet beautiful, audacious with spunk, feminine with androgyny. Fun, fearless and audacious that's what Outhouse Jewelry is all about. Brainchild of designer sisters Kaabia and Sasha Grewal, who come together to create edgy and eclectic baubles that have stirred the jewelry world. <br />
<br />
From New York to Paris - just two years in existence and they've made a big mark not only in India but international markets as well. Baroque pearls, rose gold, coloured gemstones, spikes brought together in rich craftsmanship make a wonderful statement.<br />
<br />
I am totally in love with the pearl necklace, just so many ways I can wear this to pep up any outfit.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;">Sunday Tote</span></div>
<br />
Its always a delight when I discover a good vegan brand (I'd say the same for shoes). In my online journey, I stumbled on <a href="http://www.angelaroi.com/" target="_blank">Angela and Roi</a> - its a brand and the names of founders who created a range of vegan fashionable handbags.<br />
<br />
Although the couple were not really trying to create a vegan brand (their vision is to create affordable high quality fashionable handbags, and keeping them vegan apparently helped them keep their bags in 'affordable' category over leather), nevertheless it happened to be vegan and that's admirable. I can never understand how shallow can people get - just for the sake of fashion they can take a poor living being's life and make them go through excruciating suffering. Well I hope Angela and Roi continue to keep it vegan and not harm animals even if their lives come cheap.<br />
<br />
Back to the bags, they're basic classic styles with fun colours. Made in Korea, totes, shoulder and cross-body are the three key styles. Sunday range of totes are my favourite from their range (ostrich tote the least favourite) - caramel and neon yellow the favourite colours.<br />
<br />
The bags have ample space to carry daily essentials including ure iPad and even inside and outside zipped pockets and two mobile pockets to keep your stuff organised - love the fact that they paid heed to the basic utility and functionality which even the most luxury brands miss most of the times.<br />
<br />
Few interesting and useful things about their bags that sets them apart -<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><strong>- Quality assurance:</strong></span> one of the rare gestures, their website describes the process used for making the bags with design materials used. They're so sure of their quality and assembly. We like that<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><strong>- 90 days warranty:</strong></span> if the quality assurance was not enough their bags even come with a warranty. Any defect in materials and workmanship within 90 days and you'll get a replacement of refund <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>- For a cause:</strong></span> every colour from their range of handbag represents a cause towards which a portion of each sale will be donated. For example sale proceeds of bag that comes with the Green Ribbon will be donated for patients suffering from Anxiety and Depression, similarly red is for Aids, gray ribbon for diabetes, so on and so forth. Isn't that clever and very thoughtful?<br />
<br />
<img alt="Photo: BACK IN STOCK : Square Tote Collection
They are back with more colors! Shop now --> http://bit.ly/19AibjO" height="386" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1235241_615283351826746_1872813812_n.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
I am beginning to like Angela and Roi, would love to meet these folks. And yes, I am totally loving their bags, though with a major gripe - why keep the trademark ribbon (inspired from Cancer ribbon) in leather when everything is vegan?.<br />
<br />
I'd buy them when they change the ribbon to vegan, but I really felt sharing them on Beautify.<br />

Oh yes its Cannes Film Festival again, this time Cannes 2013 (I am still not sure whether it is Oh yes with a smile or the Oh yes with a frown)... either ways you can't ignore it thanks to its ubiquity everywhere - whether its TV, magazine, online or the newspaper.<br />
<br />
So yes Cannes FF 2013 is here - that time of the year when we spot beautiful women coming out int heir best attires from around the world all at one place - Cannes, France. <br />
<br />
Here are some of the best clad women at Cannes (and we have some wonderful Indian women making the list, with Sonam Kapoor totally rocking it in an Anamika Khanna saree and a nose ring)<br />

<br /><br />Spring is here and I couldn't resisting checking out some Spring New Ins in the stores. Spring's florals, prints and neons is getting better every year.<br /><br />Each season I promise myself to stay away from browsing Online Stores and only buy what I really need. Thank God this time lucky for me the pieces I am coveting over are a little steeply priced, which would keep me away from swiping my card. But hey there's no price to creating a wishlist, and you never know who'd pop up and gift me one of these (I hope someone's listening).<br /><br />Which is your favourite pick?</div>

"Spot on" describes Dries Van Noten Spring Summer 2013 Collection - a breathtaking collection that made <em>checks </em>(tartan, plaid) deceptingly feminine and chic and <em>grunge</em> refreshingly beautiful. <br />
<br />
Van Noten's SS13 collection completely took my breath away, don't know how did I miss it and when I spotted its pieces while browsing something online, was completely smitten by it.<br />

<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Runways of London Fashion Week - Autumn Winter 2013</span></strong></div>
<br />
After a long love affair of cheery bright hues since few seasons now, comeback of a more sinister mood with dark hues, in several shades of darkness, was a welcome trend at London Fashion Week's Autumn-Winter 2013 collections across runways of designers, barring some exceptions like Jasper Conran. Sharp tailoring, winter's darling animal prints (embraced by Tom Ford, Burberry), high shine, velvets, turtle and intricate prints from the likes of Peter Pilotto, L'Wren Scott were other key trends on the runways of LFW. Interestingy, shades of pink turned another favourite on at LFW spotted on likes of Tom Ford, Moschino Cheap and Chic, Mulberry and even high street brand Topshop. <br />
<br />
Here are some of my favourite looks from runways of London Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2013. <br />

The 'new goth' is hitting the beauty trend ever since Givenchy, Gucci, Rochas, YSL and Viktor and Rolf send down models wearing the trend. Its all about how deep you can go. Finishes range from matte to patent shine gloss, offset by a perfect clear skin for contrast. Rich shades of wine, plum, mulberry and merlot should be in your lip colour palette.<br />

How to wear Mulberry red lips?<br />
<br />
The great thing about mulberry is its not too-dark and looks good on almost every skin tone. Just find the right shade for you.<br />
<br />
- Make sure to exfoliate your lips to buff away any flakes and wear a lip balm underneath before you wear your colour<br />
- Don't shy away from wearing it deep<br />
- Wear it matte or gloss, but make sure all the attention is on the lips.<br />
- Dark colours demand for flawless skin and smouldering eyes<br />

Colours and prints are two huge trends everywhere. You can't deny the impact of colour in an outfit - a pop of colour can make even a rucksack look like a million bucks. Its about wearing the right amount the right way. Gone are the days when bright coloured hues were restricted to summer. As the world economy started sinking the fashion industry went bold and loud in revenge and it has never looked back ever since. Colours are now winter and autumn fashion darling in full rage. There's no such thing as too much colour - no matter what season you're in.<br />
<br />
Here are some colourful outfits for inspiration. So take out all your colours and paint the town red.<br />

Applauds to Stella McCartney for creating a line of luxury accessories that does not come with cruelty. The world we love in is driven by greed and pride. People often forget their values and fashion industry is a big slave to it. Women spend thousands of dollars on bags and shoes that comes from brutal killing of animals and their cruel treatment. Some so-called exotic ones are made from ripping off skin of rare and exotic animals like white crocodile and God alone knows what, and cost over whopping $25,000. And the sad part is, people pay the price. Why would someone want to kill a rare animal, make a bag out of it and wear it with pride. Isn't this technically (and humanly) shame?<br />
<br />
Anyhow, thats their lookout. As they say - 'as you sow so shall you reap'. But what disturbed and appalled me is that while I was looking out for Stella's bags online I stumbled on a few websites questiniong the price tag attached to the Stella McCarney's Bags - women argued that why does Stella McCarney sell her bags for over $1000 when she does not use any leather. The quality of the materials used on her bags was also questioned, it was disregarded as purely being just PVC. You can even read one of the <a href="http://www.purseblog.com/clutches/can-someone-explain-to-me-why-stella-mccartneys-bags-are-so-expensive.html" target="_blank">reviews</a> here on purseblog.<br />
<br />
What baffles me is they easily questioned the price tag for a vegan bag (just because Stella happens to be the only luxury designer in the industry who believes in ethical fashion and sees no reason why a life has to be compromised in the name of luxury; and yet comes with exquisite designs), but <strong>no one ever questioned the exorbitant price tags attached to simple jacket made from jersey or a chiffon gown</strong>. If a price tag of $6,400 is justified for a velvet gown from <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/320642" target="_blank">Bottega Veneta</a> or $4,900 for a chiffon gown from <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/310623" target="_blank">Gucci</a> or $3,225 for a jacquard jacket from <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/320642" target="_blank">Dolce and Gabbana</a> (let me remind you, none of these fabrics are so hard to source or difficult to manufacture that the price tags would be so high just for the fabric. They would not even cost on tops $100 for those pieces.), then <strong>there's no reason why a $1,250 is not justifiable for a faux-leather bag from a designer house</strong>.<br />
<br />
Let me remind you that when you <strong>pay a premium for a luxury designer</strong> item - be it a bag or shoe or a dress or jacket - the large part of the premium comprises not of the material (its not so expensive to get best quality fabrics), but the detailing that goes into making that product, the <strong>design</strong> that the designer has spent hours on creating, the <strong>exclusivity</strong> of the product that you wouldn't find every next person carrying that bag and most importantly (it's a no-brainer) <strong>the brand name</strong> - if you're wearing a luxury brand you want to be recognised (a very small percent can argue on this, so we'll talk about the majority). A high-priced luxury item conveys prestige and a sense of belonging to an elite group, and that's why a premium is attached to it. Moreover, a<strong> designer piece is like a piece of art</strong>. And Stella McCartney's bags is high on all the above parameters. In fact she has changed the dynamics of the luxury accessories. The material used in her bags (I happen to own a few pieces from her) is awesome, you cannot question the quality, even if it is PVC or something of the sort.<br />
<br />
In fact, those who think leather is an exclusive or luxury item, they need to know that sourcing good quality leather is not expensive and if you would visit countries like India, Brazil you would be surprised at the ubiquity of cows and other animals on the streets and their leather is dirt cheap. Most of the luxury bags (LV, Fendi, Gucci, Prada) are made from cow leather, which is not an exclusive material. Its very cheap to source, and in fact you can find best quality of leather bags in less than $50 in some parts of the world. So the premium on LV and Gucci's leather bags are not paid for the leather, but on the basis of parameters discussed above.<br />
<br />
Just because she uses faux-leather, Stella McCartney's bags cannot be dismissed as being just like any other piece. They are undeniably high on the luxury quotient and their popularity among the many known-to-be-stylish ladies and celebrities just proves this. <br />
<br />
It is explanation enough why Stella McCartney's bags are so expensive.<br />

<strong>Celebrities carrying Stella McCartney Bags</strong><br />

Hollywood biggie Angelina Jolie is a big fan of Stella McCartney bags and has been spotted carrying it many times. Here's a picture of her wearing Stella McCartney Black Falabella Bag and on other occassions chic-ingly wearing Stella McCartney's classy Grace Bag (from Stella McCartney's Fall/Winter 2011 collection). She's looking every inch a movie star in all the Stella looks.<br />

Doing the denims at Olympics, Kate Middleton does not mind repeating the outfit, which is what we love about her. She was spotted wearing Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedges (center and right) thrice (or more?) at the Olympic 2012 and also her J brand skinny dark denims.<br />
<br />
Wearing a blazer with denims is the easiest way to perk up the outfit, like Kate Middleton did at the Olympics in her Smythe navy blazer that she wore twice at the event, first in a more formal way with her tucked-in ruffled shirt and brown belt while later swapping it to a more casual chic avatar with a nautical tee.<br />
<br />

Now we know what a rage coloured denims have been, especially tangerine and its likes have been and still are the colour of the season. Kate Middleton did a twosome with her coral skinny (Zara) jeans, wearing it up and down.<br />
<br />
The official ambassador of Team GB in the Olympics, Kate Middleton paid visit to the country's hockey team and brightened up the Olympic Park in her coral jeans with her impeccable style. The Duchess of Cambridge made a morning call in a pair of coral jeans that she wore with a tee and spruced up with a double-breasted Pucci blazer and official Olympic scarf and finished off with her classic L.K. Bennett black pumps emanating chicness and elegance. While at the park, she quickly swapped for a marl grey team GB hoodie and trainers to show off her sporty side. A simple yet bang on look.<br />

Continuing the trend, Kate Middleton stayed true to her style in denims pepped up with a blazer but taking a girlie smart casuals route. At a more recent appearance, Kate Middleton dazzled in a red Zara blazer that she wore with a playful polka dot top and blue skinny jeans and her Olympic crush - Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedges - at the swimming finals.<br />
<br />
Now we hear that Zara has been doing really well, and Kate Middleton has some role in the skyrocketing sales of brand Zara. Ever since she has been spotted wearing some Zara outfits, looks like every girl has been flocking to the store to steal her style. That's Royal.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Taking cues from Kate Middleton's sartorial choices:</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- We ought to appreciate that despite being the Duchess of Cambridge, when she can flaunt the best designer labels and never repeat an outfit, Kate Middleton proves that you need not spend an awful amount of money to look like a million bucks. High street labels are good enough to show your stylish side. If you have the money, you can combine and mix high street with designer labels, but that's not necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- A simple pair of denim can be styled in myriad ways and can be worn for any occasion. You can dress it up, dress it down. Wear it to a formal event, or just for strolling down the streets. The key is to style it right.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- For wearing it to a formal occasion, denim can be paired with a well-fitted jacket and a tucked in shirt (Grazia cover on top). Smart pumps and if you like you can throw a nice scarf for a polished look.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

- Work-out to stay in shape. If you are in shape, you would look good even in a rucksack. Kate's great body is one of the reasons that she looks a million bucks even in a simple tee and skinny jeans.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- It is crucial to wear well-fitted garments. You would notice that every outfit that Kate wears looks like it has been customised for her body. That's the beauty of being a smart shopper (or having a great stylist). If you wear well-fitted clothes, your job is half done. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- When not sure, stick to the basics, classic pumps, denims, blazer, tees and shirts. Just choose the right colour palette and wear clothes that are your size.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Step 1:</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cut out two half moon patterns from paper, then cut that shape out of your fabric and canvas cloth using that paper pattern (or an existing collar of same shape) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div>
<strong>Step 2:</strong> </div>
<div>
Once the fabrics are cut, sew the canvas and the fabric together so that the two half moons are ready.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfedK8twX6PR38dVZzvd9g9iAKTlzILoTFtj6mfeiUlO4lGGL_GjFbqUU7-e-DlY9LqiiipiTSOyeF2faOD_2qHunM8slgninuY4WwX_oKTNioJPH6V26Md67sHym_L5utBvk3BC5tLGa4/s1600/Step+2+outcome+Shape+cut+-+Option+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" hda="true" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfedK8twX6PR38dVZzvd9g9iAKTlzILoTFtj6mfeiUlO4lGGL_GjFbqUU7-e-DlY9LqiiipiTSOyeF2faOD_2qHunM8slgninuY4WwX_oKTNioJPH6V26Md67sHym_L5utBvk3BC5tLGa4/s640/Step+2+outcome+Shape+cut+-+Option+1.JPG" width="640" /></a> <br />
<div>
<strong>Step 3:</strong> </div>
<div>
When the two half moons are lined with canvas, overlap the wider end pieces and sew together on the back, without interlocking the front end of the fabric. Alternatively, you can use a decorative button and use it to sew the pieces together</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Step 4:</strong> </div>
<div>
Cut two lengths of the ribbon of equal length and sew one string on each of the smakllr ends of the collar.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Voila!!! That’s it, you are done.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>

Icy drinks, flip flops, flip-flops digging in the sand, loads of sunblock every few hours and lazing in the sun are all the perfect summer staples. However you can't beat the summer without essential summer wardrobe items. Now it's a no brainer - STRIPE is the outrageous summer trend that never goes out of style. It's easy to wear and when paired with the right accessories can be worn from day-to-night (its called clever styling).<br />
<br />
Here are some of the best easy-to-wear summer looks that you could take some hints from and look stylish despite the skyrocketing temperature this SUMMER. <br />

I'm loving her black and white striped look where she keeps it sophisticated and chic with a B/W Derek Lam striped top paired with flared black Holmes and Yang pants (yes from Katie's new fashion line, inspired by friend Beckham?) and pointed pumps. Classic always rocks.<br />

Stripes is not just for a cool laid back look, you can wear them even for a dress-up occasion. Last year Katie Holmes sizzled in a striped dress at a red carpet event (premiere of The Extra Man to be precise) looking young and stylish.<br />

The promos of Cocktail is already getting all the attention, especially for the wardrobe choices of the characters - Veronica, Meera and Gautam. From the looks of it Cocktail will up Bollywood's ranking in the style department. All thanks to Anaita Shroff Adjaina, the stylist, who did a wonderful job in styling the characters in Cocktail.<br />
<br />
The well-clad characters of Cocktail - <strong>Veronica</strong> aka Deepika Padukone in a sexy, effortless cool style with messy hair, <strong>Meera</strong> (Diana Penty - the newbie in Bollywood) a simple girl from Delhi in simple yet stylish looks sporting flowy cardigans, tee and jackets while <strong>Gautam</strong> (played by Saif Ali Khan) stealing the hearts in casual chic look - just putting-on what comes in hand (tees, denims, the forced jacket teamed with jeans for work) still looking put together kind of thing.<br />

Not quite feeling the sexy look in this embellished French Connection sheer top and suede skirt paired with Kurt Geiger Hoshiko wine wedges (buy from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/KG-Kurt-Geiger-Hoshiko-Platform/dp/B004L63JZM" target="_blank">here</a>) on Deepika. Bad sartorial choice but she still looks smoking hot (bamm its that fab body, that manages to make her look sexy even in a rucksack). I'd choose a different outfit for creating a sexy look that'd also hit the right chords in the fashion department.<br />

A simple Delhi girl turning to more casual, cool, stylish yet conventional is Diana Penty in Cocktail who likes to develops a style as the story progresses yet blend in the crowd.<br />

It is not just the girls who are stealing the show. Saif Ali Khan looks awesome in Cocktail with his stylish wardrobe choices. Whether it is denims and tee and shorts for the dressed down look or blazers paired with denims for taking the dressy route or his stylish Burberry bag and Jaeger-LeCoultre watch and stylish yet young sunglasses the guy sure works his character and look well. After all Saif Ali Khan is one of the best dressed men in Bollywood.<br />

It's easy peasy to make your own version of wonderful lip scrub without any harsh chemicals, animal ingredients or artificial anything in 3 simple steps.<br />
<br />
<div>
<strong>Here's what you'll need:</strong></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>two tablespoons demerara sugar</li>
<li>two teaspoon maple syrup (replacement for honey)</li>
<li>two teaspoon extra virgin olive oil</li>
<li>one liquid vitamin E capsule (vegetarian and gelatin free) (optional)</li>
<li>jar (optional)</li>
</ul>
<strong>How do these ingredients work?</strong><br />
<br />
Brown sugar (demerara sugar) is a great natural exfoliant and is not harsh on the skin, olive oil is abundant in antioxidants and rich in Vitamin A and E hence making it a wonderful moisturiser and it also has a rare potent antioxidant called hydroxytyrosol that prevents free radical damage on skin cells and maple syrup adds a nice subtle flavour and is a natural binder. You can add an extra dose of vitamin E.<br />

Are you a sucker for nice flavours? Go vanilla with vanilla brown sugar, if you're lusting chocolate add a tinge of fresh cocoa powder, one teaspoon of strawberry puree for the delectable strawberry flavour just let your imagination run.</div>

You can use coconut oil instead of olive if you prefer coconut flavour.</div>

Dots Dots everywhere, not a dot to drink. Polka dots and summer have a long history and given the printed pants obsession this summer it's no surprise (and a delight) to see the dots dotting the pants.<br />
<br />
Dressed up and dressed down, playful and edgy Poppy Delevigne, Kristen Bell, Taylor Swift and Gwen Stefani were spotted in their respective polka pants while just strolling down the streets to the red carpet. Kristen makes it dressy at the red carpet with a embroidered white button down, formal blazer, statement necklace and high slingback platforms, while Taylor Swift goes the effortless chic route with simple button down shirt and loafers paired with her polka dot ankle jeans, Gwen brightened her black and white polka pants with a colour pop pink jacket and red lips and Poppy Delevigne took the chic route with button down shirt, scalloped edged jacket and Ivory Platform sandals. <br />
