Stripe it up

Hi my lovely readers,

Let's talk about stripes in this post! Stripes are one pattern which can be tricky to wear. You might already know how stripes work on different body types. Horizontal stripes make you look broader and vertical stripes give you the illusion of looking taller and slimmer. But this also depends on the thickness of the stripes. The above logic works for visibly broader stripes.

You can always cheat with thinner stripes. If you are broader and like an outfit with horizontal stripes, check for the thickness of the stripes, you can safely go for it if the stripes are thin. I would suggest not to go for broad horizontal stripes if you do not want to look heavy.

Vertical stripes are always a great pick if you want to look taller. The stripes also frame your body to give an illusion that you are slimmer.

Too Faced Melted Liquified Lipstick : Melted Berry

Hi All,

Here is one more high end lipstick for review today. I have always wanted to try the Too Faced melted lipsticks. I tried them when in Switzerland but I didn't like the way it was too loud on my lips. But then, I had no idea what I was doing wrong. Later, when I read reviews about it, I got to know that these lipsticks should be allowed to dry. These lipsticks turn matt on drying and have to be applied in small quantities. This time when I was in Paris for my birthday, I again found the Too faced counter in the Sephora there and so I again thought of picking up one.

I wanted their Melted Ruby, but I wasn't sure if I could carry that loud red and opted for Melted Berry instead. Read on to know how did it fare :)

Long slit Maxi top

Hi Dearies,

Here is a new outfit post !

I have styled a long blue slit maxi top here. 'Maxi dresses' have been in a trend for quite some time now, but the trend of 'Maxi tops with slits' has been in, since only this summer. They are flowy, comfy and stylish. They can be paired with jeans or shorts or leggings. But I would suggest to avoid leggings, so that the outfit doesn't look like an Indian Churidar :)

I decided to pair this top with shorts to be comfortable in the hot weather. The material of the top is light and stretchable, but it doesn't feel sticky on the body and is apt for the hot weather. I bought this top from the local markets of Brussels. 

MAC Lipstick : Heroine

Hi my beauties,

I am back after a gap of one week. It was my birthday week, so I was busy holidaying and shopping  :P I had been to Paris and did a lot of shopping there, do comment below and let me know if you all would want me to do a haul post on whatever I shopped.

Coming to the post, it is one of the lipsticks which I bought for my birthday. I had been wanting to try the very famous MAC 'Heroine', but was not sure if it would suit me. The first time when I had been to the store to buy it, I ended up not buying it because I felt it was looking greyish on me. But then it haunted me for days and finally I bought it for my birthday :) It is a very popular lipstick from MAC.

How To Wear a Mickey Mouse Shirt like an Adult

Hey yaa people!!

Yes, today's post is about a Mickey mouse t-shirt. Who doesn't love Mickey Mouse! :) I had fallen in love with him when I had met him in Disneyland, Paris <3 and let me tell you the feeling was mutual :D

But wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt after you are all grown up, can be a little tricky. Even I was among the ones who used to feel Mickey t-shirts or any other cartoon character clothing were only for the kids. If so, then why do they have it for the adults :P. But when I tried this cute mickey t-shirt on, I had instantly fallen in love with it, I thought it was really cute and did not make me look childish. It can be a very cute casual t-shirt. Later, through my research I realised Mickey mouse t-shirts are a trend in itself. How you carry it depends on you. So if you think you can carry a Mickey Mouse t shirt without looking like a schoolgirl then go for it ! :) Let me tell you how I decided to style it :)

Beat the heat in the Kimono

Hi Dearies,

I am back with a new outfit post featuring the Kimono, which has been in trend this season.

Brussels has turned very hot this year and has got me hunting for comfortable clothing. A Kimono is a cardigan made up of very lightweight and flowy material which is apt for the summer heat.  Shorts and top by itself can be boring, make it more fun and colorful by adding a full patterned kimono.

Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip pencils

Hi Beauties,

Today I am reviewing two lip pencils from the Maybelline Color Drama range. These are jumbo crayon lip pencils which can be used as lipstick. I always prefer lipsticks in the pencil form as they are easy to apply, you don't need a separate lip pencil/lip brush with them and they can be applied easily while travelling as well.

I picked up two shades from the range, 410 Fab Orange and 310 Berry Much.
