Winter Styles I'm in Love With!

Hola! Winter is giving quite the chills but there are sure some awesome styles I loved that look very wearable and carnal on the style meter!

                                                Warm Cashmere Coat and High Heels

The most luxurious material combines with soft warm indulgence. The simple aesthetics highlights the beautiful and cozy texture of the fabric. A versatile coat that's perfect for every occasion, from casual to formal. Pair it up with stilettoes, high boots, or nude heels and look glamorous on the go.

                                                                Blanket Ponchos

Nothings more sexy than rolling over in a blanket and walking on the streets! The wool blanket ponchos, knitted in muted yellows, reds and blues, with monogrammed initials on the zig zagged pattern are hot on the runway as well as the elite fashion squad.

 

                                                    Ugly Sweater and Mini Skirt

 

 

 

No! No! Don't throw that old grandma knit sweater yet instead pair it up with a leather mini, stockings, and boots to create a smash winter look. Who doesn't love a hand-knit, fuzzy sweater with wacky prints to snuggle in? No one should call that ugly!

 

Make a Fashion Statement with Colorful Bangles

Epitomized as a make of respect for women in the Indian culture, Bangles are a colorful fashion accessory that can go well with any outfit. One of the oldest forms of jewelry, a bangle can be plain, just a ring of plastic, gold or other material, or carved into interesting shapes, or bejeweled and faceted. Bangles are never out of fashion, so a large collection of bangles in different materials, colors and styles can serve you well for many years.
Termed as 'charming trinklet' they can be combined with various styles and infused into the wardrobe with any funky or ethic wear. 

During festivals in India they are worn as part of the traditional and luck. Here are the various meanings behind the colors of bangles:

Red: Energy/Passion
Blue: Tranquility/Wisdom
Purple: Independence
Green: Luck/ Marriage
Yellow: Happiness
Orange: Success
White : New Beginning
Black: Power
Silver: Strength
Gold: Fortune/Porsperity

While Indian culture is stemmed from its inherent co-existence with nature and its forces, bangles are no exception to it. From the colors to the shapes it was reflection of the understanding of nature and harmonious relationship with it. So wear these colored trinklets and make a style statement this season.

Have You Felt Silk Lately? Take a Look at Christina Sabaiduc AW14 Scarf Collection : Wowcracy Endless Fashion Week

 

 

I always keep advocating that Silk Feels Like Heaven and it is my favourite fabric when it comes to Fashion Accessorization. Silk Scarves provide edge,glamour and a sense of subtle feminity to the outfit. In accordance with Wowcracy Endless Fashion Week presenting Christina Sabaiduc AW14 Scarf Collection.

 

 

Christina Sabaiduc

 

 

 Cristina is a talented designer from London and she launched CRISTINA SABAIDUC with a S/S 2013 collection. She is renowned for her unconventional presentations, which have included a 3D film screening and a gallery exhibit-turned-catwalk show.

 

 

These graphic and colourful scarves are designed by Christina in collaboration with photographic artist Jo Holland.Drawing inspiration from some most unexpected sources of beauty and her native Romania,Switzerland and Canada—moulding beetroots, crystallized feathers, frozen detergent, Transylvanian salt mines or medieval stained glass windows— these mundane lifeless objects get a  new lease of life when captured by Jo through her entirely analogue photographic process that utilises light and colour with positive paper in a dark room.

The resulting original artworks are then developed into scarf and fabric prints to be digitally printed on high quality silk twill.
The imagery created is inspired by the coexistence of natural and industrial elements in our environment. The juxtaposition of animate and manufactured elements has developed into an exploration of dualities—a visual commentary on relationship between the wearer of the scarf and the ephemeral nature of the world in which we live.

Join the Twitterati For a Twitter Party !

Are you a party animal with a difference? Then you can join in a virtual party that can be accessed on the go its Fun, Fast and Glamourous its a Twitter Party! A virtual paradise created by social networking platform that makes one enjoy virtual crowd, products, events, contests and helps one to increase the social rating. Now in this wonderful age of dialog that is both one-to-one and many-to-many at the same time, we can sit at home in pajamas while joining in a virtual party connecting hundreds of people all over the world.

What is a Twitter Party?
 Usually held live in the evenings, twitter parties typically last 1-2 hours and are a wonderful way for people to connect and discuss a topic of choice. Most twitter parties have an expert panelist and party host to keep the party on topic.

How does a Twitter Party Work?
Twitter users tweet with a specified Hashtag (#) for the party. The party host will announce the hashtag prior to the event. If you look at the twitter party calendar, parties are listed by the hashtag (#). Users use their tweet chat client to search for the hashtag and join in the conversation. Tweetdeck and Tweetgrid make following a twitter party much easier.

Benefits of a Twitter Party for Bloggers and Brands :-

Brands love them because they’re cheap, easy to put together and they have the potential to generate hundreds (if not thousands) of tweets about your brand in just a couple of hours. Customers love them because they’re non-intimidating, fun, and easy to access.
A Twitter party is a great enhancement to any company's social media marketing plan. It's a fun way to engage customers and prospects in real-time and get the word out about your brand. Here are some of the benefits to having a Twitter party:

For Brands:

• Heightened awareness of a company's products and services

In the age of neck to neck competition its increasingly important for Brands to have a word out about their respective products out to masses in a short time. A twitter party does just that.

• Increase in web site traffic before, during and after event

It automatically generates viewership to the brands website and gives publicity. There is also a gain in Twitter or Facebook followers or subscribers to the e-mailing list .

• Low-cost advertising method

Cost cutting just became easy with this cheap way of advertising products.

• Great way to engage customers and get them talking about your brand

Announcing giveaways and contests can increase the participation of the masses. Giveaways during a Twitter party help lend a ‘party atmosphere’ to the discussion. They draw people to the discussion and in some cases, help spur conversation about the brand involved. Mentioning a prize can lead to a discussion about the product, a segue to talking more about the brand and what it has to offer.

For Bloggers:As a blogger, no one can ever accomplish anything alone.  Whoever says any different in my opinion is not genuinely looking at blogging as a community effort. Yes, you may have your own site and wear various hats (Editor, Publisher, Coder, etc) the truth is, the people that read your stories and share your posts are part of your community. We are all doing it together and so twitter parties are an excellent way of coming in together with a common goal, purpose or interest.


• Networking, Networking and Networking

A bloggers needs wide accessibility and coverage for readership and twitter parties provide a way to enjoy the benefits of discovering new brands and staying loyal to the older ones, finding new friends and gaining new followers to your blog.

• Prospects of Collaboration

Get a chance to work with the brands you love the most or simply try out new ones and do reviews.

• Enjoy Freebies and Contests

Win exciting new products and discounts on various product offers.


So leave the LBD and fancy shoes at home. Twitter parties are all about comfy clothes, slippers, no makeup, a glass of wine and… whooping it up on your monitor!

 

The Band of Friendship !

Just Celebrated Friendship Day and could'nt help reminiscing about how crazy we were in school to make Friendship Bands!
Each band would be colourfully different and woven with lots of love and personalized with names or beads to make it look more attractive. Some would be special with hearts and love symbols to be given to a special friend.



How to make a Basic Friendship Band
Because the candy stripe friendship bracelet is a rather simple and common form, it is a good one for beginners. To begin, three strands of embroidery floss 60 inches long are needed. The floss strands are held lengthwise and folded in half. A knot is made at the looped end, leaving a loop about one-half inch at that end of the bracelet. This loop may be taped to a table or chair or pinned to a craft pillow while the bracelet is knotted.


The piece of floss on the far left is brought up over the second string so it resembles the shape of the number four and is then pulled back around the second string through the opening of the four. This sequence is repeated in the same manner with the same two pieces of string to form two identical knots. Working in this same manner, the first string is used to tie knots on the third string, and then each successive string until the end of the row is reached.


The process is continued with the new string on the farthest left, which is now used to tie knots on each successive string. Rows are added until the bracelet reaches the desired length. At this point, the strands are separated into two separate groups, and each group of three strands is braided until it is at least four inches long and then knotted. The ends of strands are then trimmed.


Now the bracelet is ready to be tied on the wrist of a friend. One of the two braided ends is pulled through the loop, and the two braided ends are tied together.

Take some time off to make these bands of Love they are knots that hold a thousand memories of friendships near and far and mine are tucked in a box full of love reminding me of days gone by.
                          

                               Happy Friendship Day !

Cats Brothers as a brand was conceived by designers Anna Wilkinson and Lindsay McKean on a night out at a Mexican themed restaurant on the Day of the Dead when they decided to pay homage to dead rappers through knitwear. Their stand out collection takes pre-printed t-shirts that are then embroidered over, giving new life to those heavily-reproduced iconic images of Tupac, Biggie Smalls and MCA from the Beastie Boys. Other areas of the collection really show off skull crochet, sarape stripes and paisley beading running riot over bomber jackets, hooded sweatshirts, cropped tees and customised vintage denim pieces. Through the exposure by Browns Focus they have gained an international reputation and fan-base, the most flattering of which was spotting Jordan Dunn in one of our Tupac t-shirts in Beyonce's XO video!
