RELATIONSHIPS TIPS

Some people are brought into your life for a reason. It could be just to heal a broken heart.

LINGERIE:Inner style takes over!

There are so many varieties of undergarments in the shops and what stops you from trying on something feminine, nice and alternative to the usual black, white or beige set you might have been wearing for eternity.

Don't be shy when it comes to choosing a bra with lace or bows or frills.  They are so feminine and uplifting that the moment you wear them, your mood will instantly change

Lace bras are very appealing and come in many different colours

There's something saucy about wearing a gorgeous set underneath conservative clothes.

Satin need not only be for wearing to weddings, you should have at least one or two sets.

Wear them under dresses for that extra glamour.

Mix and match your lingerie with sheer pieces in burgundies and yellows. Remember that you are dressing for you and not your "beau" only. 

Sheer lingerie for sheer tops will certainly raise temperatures!

Vintage style with midi briefs are extremely comfortable yet appealing.

If it's peekaboo with the blouses, then this is definitely the style for you.

Florals are feminine and pretty

If the mood is "rock star glam" then counter balance it with flowery lingerie.

For those who like something bright, then a red and black combo is perfect for you

Sets like this are suitable for wearing anytime. Don't just keep it for Valentine's Day

 If navy blue is your colour then go for a set like the one above. It's conservative but fun with the bows.

It might be a cliche but navy blue will definitely get you in the mood if you are attending yacht club parties.

Bras come in all shapes,sizes and colours. Take the plunge next time you go shopping and look for something to spice up your inner style.

RELATIONSHIP TIPS

They turned their "showmance" into a "romance" . Did you know that Kanye West had a crush on Kim Karadashian for over 10 years! Patience truly is a virtue.

If you are holding a large clutch, be sure to accessorize it with simple jewelry.

A striped dress with simple pumps is always a sophisticated option

 

Tailored shorts suit or a plain pair of shorts and flowery shirt are a great alternative for a daytime garden fashion show

Daytime Indian wear is so vibrant and stunning

and easily accessorized with patterned clutches

Do you have two events to attend on the same day? One in the daytime and another at night? 

 Mix and match with sequins and jeans.

It's considered a fashion faux pas wearing sequins during the day but at the same time it's becoming a new trend.
