Now, get owlish with your accessories!
With the snow owl set to be the state bird, the trend is looking at sporting it on jewellery, clothes and more
It started with Harry Potter's fascination for the white owl Hedwig. And now with the forest owl set to be the state bird, it's suddenly all over -from totes to tees to jewellery. With the likes of Cartier and designer Marc Jacobs having used it on rings and necklaces, desi fashionistas are also giving the nocturnal bird a thumbs-up!
The new 'It' bird.
"Owls are beautiful birds and are turning heads on high street," says designer Rocky S. "Owl is the new 'It' bird when it comes to accessories and prints. The texture of the bird is what interests me. Owls also represent wisdom and mystery and that's what fashion is all about."
Designer Falguni Peacock agrees. "The owl is a huge rage," she declares. "We did a whole line using the owl print design. You'll also find owls on pendants, bracelets, etc." She says one can get versatile while designing with this motif. "To go casual smart, try slim fit pants or leggings with the owl print for a plain look. I'd love to use these crystal embellishments on prints for a formal look too," she adds.
Bling it on!
Designer Azeem Khan says that the owl is returning as a fashion statement. He has used them as a motif in his accessory line - in brooches and neck pieces. According to jewellery designer Shaheen Abbas, when it comes to jewellery, the bird is becoming increasingly popular. Incidentally, it was actress Sonam Kapoor who first wore a necklace with an owl pendant sparking off a new trend. "I love it," says the Aisha girl. With the owlet about to become the state bird, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of it now. You can use the motif to give you a soft or hard look. For instance, if you're looking at a biker chic look team it with black and leather or since it's summer team it with a floral maxi dress or a skirt."

perfect dress for the respective body!..
Finding the right dress for the type of your body shape is a MUST where you can smash up, even the super models! In order to get that right body wear you should know you’re self very well as wearing any kind of dress might make fashion faux in which you are not comfortable but you want to wear as it is in trend. You need to make the trend your self and set your OWN STLYE STATEMENT and make new rules, rather than going behind the actresses and models as they shape up their body through working out!
There are many do’s and don’ts while choosing an attire, especially if you are short or tall, bulky or thin, have big butt or small, long neck, color of your eyes and hair, etc. First impression is the last impression, as everyone knows, even in the fashion world especially for a woman where the opposite sex gets attracted. Also choosing the right fashion accessories is a must which should go well or blend well with the dress you are going to wear. Picking up any kind of dress you must know in and out of it, say the type of cloth you are choosing ‘ cotton, silk, etc; how to wash it and iron it and maintain them well.
For a taller woman, wearing long skirts makes you look tall. If using belts over pants or skirts, don’t wear it too tight. High collared for those who have short neck is a NO, but better to go for a neck deep cut top to elongate your neck. To flatter your figure (for petite women), contrast colors are best by adding a scarf or belt with your pants or skirts. If you are heavy bottom, then use dark colors bottoms and tops light color because people will look at the light color and your bottom will be unnoticed being darker shade. Tapered skirts are strictly NO for your lower body. Woman who are heavy from the upper part of the body, use soft flowing fabrics. Use dark colors on top and light on the bottom. You can go for V-neck tops so that the upper part doesn’t show up too much. Just wear clothes according to the shape of your body and which is comfortable making your own trend and style statement.

fringe is in :)

chain fringe accessories |
You don’t have to dig the Western vibe to embrace a fringed look this spring. Skip the tasseled blouses and skirts – which can be a little too cowgirl for comfort – and don a sparkly mini (a la 1920’s flapper) instead. A fringed little black dress or shimmering silver number are sophisticated alternatives to the yee-haw feel of some daytime pieces. On the other hand, if you’re up for playing cowgirls and Indians, channel your inner Pocahontas with a pair of fringed sandals.
For those of you who don’t like to wear your trend on your sleeve, choose an accessory with subtle fringe detailing or tassels, and simply nod towards fashion’s affection du jour. Whether you prefer to incorporate seamlessly a trendier article into your ensemble, or flaunt it loud and proud, remember to avoid overkill. Don’t even think about pairing a fringed piece of clothing with fringed accessories – you’ll look ridiculous. One well-executed trend is all you need to create a visual impact.
