Indian Fashion Trends Making Waves In UK


India is a vast and diversified country and it is also a land where a multitude of cultures co-exist. Though all these cultures are woven together but they have their own exclusive dressing patterns and styles. The earliest traces of Indian fashion and dressing were found in the remains from the excavated site of Harappa and Mohenjodaro. After independence, due to various factors, changes in the Indian fashion have been witnessed largely due to globalization. The traditions and dressing style of the Indian women have caught the imagination of people far and wide and this is the reason why Indian fashion wear are selling like hot cakes in other parts of the world. In the recent years Indian dressing items have topped the UK shopping lists and the interesting fact is that not only are domestic consumers buying them, but many of the Westerners have also shown a keen interest in acquiring these beautiful and fashionable clothes.

UK has a large population of non-resident Indians and people from the sub-continent who have settled in these parts for business, jobs, education or various other purposes. Though they are away from their motherland, when it comes to auspicious occasions they still prefer Indian ethnic dresses over the Western ones. Many of the British origins who are in constant touch with the Indians have also fallen in love with the different types of dressing trends that are available in many parts of UK. The Indian ethnic wear such as the Indian bridal wedding dress is one of the most selling items. The wedding dresses basically include sarees with blouse or ghagra choli (lehenga). These are colorful with myriad small prints upon them. To go with these there are various types of jewellery, be it silver, gold or stone studded, worn by women of all ages.

Salwar kameez is another favorite dressing item from India. This is a type of casual wear and can be worn on all types of occasions. Whether it is for everyday wear or for some festival or grand occasion, a salwar kameez is for all occasions. But in the recent times there has been a change in the styles of wearing saris or salwar kameez. The styles have become more cosmopolitan than from any specific region. There are different styles of blouses available in the market such as katori style, halter neck, high neck blouses, back button blouses, puffed sleeve blouses, etc. The blouses used to be long and covering but in the modern times their sizes and designs have changed drastically. The same changes have been in the saris styles as well. Saris in the traditional style are draped in traditional pallo style or in the gujrati style. The Bollywood films also influence the trends in saris. Such as after the Mumtaz style saris or Chameli saris. In case of salwar kameez the prevalent styles are long, short, A-Line, skin tight, etc. The modern version of the salwar is known as ‘kurti' and this can be worn with jeans, pants or churidars.

These modern innovations in the Indian dressing styles have attracted a lot of people. Not only dresses but also footwear and handbags from India in UK are also very much in demand. To get all such beautiful items you can come to Vogue India and find a large selection of Indian items.

Bridal Makeup Beauty Tips

Bridal Makeup

Make-up starts with great skin.
Here’s a list of things you should keep in mind and avoid a few days before the wedding:

- Avoid substances
that could give you oily skin, swelling and irritation. These include red meat, alcohol, caffeine, spicy or deep fried foods
- Remember to drink lots of water to keep hydrated and flush out the toxins
- Avoid using Retin A and Alpha Hydroxy creams prior to the wedding day. They may cause skin peeling, flaking and irritation that will show in photos
- Exfoliate your skin with a manual exfoliator the day before your wedding
- Have your brows professionally shaped prior to the wedding day. Nice brows are very important because they frame the eyes.
- Refresh your hair color a week before the wedding. Get rid of dark roots and split ends
- Book a day at the spa to de-stress and pamper yourself

- Remove all traces of makeup the night before your wedding. Avoid dry lips by putting a lip moisturizer on your lips before bed and the morning of your wedding. Your face should be clean and product free when the make-up artist arrives
- If you’re not hiring a make-up artist for the whole wedding day make sure you have a lipstick, powder and blotting sheets with you to touch up when needed

Top 10 Anti-Aging Makeup Tricks

Depending on your skin type, masks vary from dry to oily skin. And, because skin changes with menopause, you may need to adjust the moisturizer in your skin care routine. Scrutiny in the mirror may also reveal those dreaded age spots. Dermatologists can help lighten the spot, but more will appear as we age. Sun, often the culprit the age spots, caught up with me. Be certain to look closely in that mirror now, because a makeup line forming a boundary along the jaw is sign of aging. By blending foundation underneath jawbone and onto neck, we can avoid this age-amplifier. Go easy, too, on the layered look; makeup that is thick enough to scrape off is a dead give-away of the desperate aging woman. Remember, aging skin has its own set of special needs. While makeup is supposed to enhance your appearance, if not applied properly on aging skin it will have the exact opposite effect.

Check out the following anti-aging makeup tricks:

1.Apply mascara and liner only to upper lashes, to eliminate under eye smudging, which can make you look tired. As you age, you start to notice the skin around the eye taking on its own set of wrinkles. While they aren't particularly noticeable to others, they are actually enhanced by wearing eye makeup.

2.To really open up droopy eyes, use one coat of curl-enhancing mascara in addition to your eyelash curler.

3.Skip mascara altogether by having eyelashes professionally tinted.

4.A well-shaped brow gives your whole face a lift. A monthly visit to an eyebrow groomer makes it easy for you to get a perfect arch - without having to help it along with eyebrow powder every morning.

5.Cover blotchiness with a creamy foundation stick, and then use it to conceal under eye darkness and prime eyelids for shadow.

6.The new gel eye-lining pencils help color glide onto the base of lashes, so you won't end up with a harsh, dated line.

7.To minimize fine facial lines, shower in the morning instead of at night. Humidity hydrates the skin, moisturizer traps it, and the temporary "plumping" can last throughout the day.

8.The right shade of taupe or cocoa powder can perform triple duty - use it as a shadow, to fill in eyebrows, and to line eyelashes.

9.A creamy lipstick or one of the new chubby cheek-and-lip crayons can double as blush - and add moisture to dry skin. Enliven lips with soft, vibrant tones, such as berry, rose, or apricot. These brighter hues will add a splash of color and make lips look larger. Then dab gloss (clear or in a complementary shade) in the center of your lower lip to reflect light and create the illusion of fullness.

10.When in doubt, choose light colors of powder over dark. Paler shades of blush and eye shadow are easier to apply and take less time to blend. Blush makes aging skin look younger. Whether pinks, mauves, or peaches are your perfect shades, create a rosy glow by applying blush liberally to the apples of your cheeks. Start at the cheekbones and work back toward the hairline. Be sure to blend the blush well, as no one looks younger with clown cheeks.

Adding color to the skin helps aging women look less fatigued and even happier.
You may need to reapply your blush once or more throughout the day to keep this look fresh.
Note: Eight glasses of water a day keeps skin firm-looking and youthful; just as a plant droops without water, so our skin withers.

Easy ways to be in good health without medication

Easy ways to be in good health without medication

Good health can save you a good amount of money by looking your best, feeling young and resisting diseases. Having good health means more energy to get your work done and more years to spend with your family. The quest to be healthy is being promoted everywhere, why don't you join them? Here are some simple way to help in staying healthy and fit:

1. Eat fruits and vegetables. When you were a child, your parents always told you to get your fill of those leafy green vegetables or eat fruits till you wonder why they insist on it. This is something you should never fail to recall. Fruits and vegetables are high in good vitamins and minerals, rich in antioxidants and disease fighting elements. You should keep this in mind for your future kid's health as well. Eating healthy can benefit everyone.

2. Get enough sleep. Working for 48 hours or working the night shift can take its toll. You may not feel it now but you will see its effects when you get older. Sleeping is vital for the muscles and almost every part of a human being's system to replenish what has been used in every way. If you do need to work that extra time, make sure you get that extra shuteye to make up for what was lost.

3. Exercise. Exercise is not just for looking good in clothes. It is to ward off most diseases and be in the best health. It can improve your immune system and fight against bone loss. Finding those thirty minutes to be set aside for this could be quite easy once you set your mind to do it. Do it in the morning when your energy is at its peak.

4. Take herbal supplements or multivitamins. Sometimes what you eat cannot provide you with enough good nutrition, grab that multivitamin or that supplement approved by your doctor. It truly helps in making you healthier inside and out.

5. Stop drinking and smoking. You have been warned in more ways than one on TV, online and constant advertisements. Smoking and drinking is bad for health. It can cause cancer, liver disease and addiction. Try to quit as early as you can.


6. Don't forget to laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. Some ill patients surprisingly feel better and even recover just by having laughter therapy. It relieves stress. It makes you look better. Laugh some more.

7. Get an annual physical exam. Diseases that are discovered earlier have greater chances of being cured. Get a check up even if you feel you are perfectly healthy. Use your health insurance card. Be aware of your body. If something is amiss, go to your doctor. It helps to be vigilant about your health.

Good health can be achieved by your determination to live longer and have a healthier lifestyle. Life is a gift, take good care of it. Do your part in making sure that the life given to you is not wasted.

Autumn weddings

Are you planning an autumn wedding? Look current by combining classic wedding makeup with a fall feel. Whether you decide to embrace the season wholeheartedly or you wish to stick mostly to a look that has worked for many before you, plan your makeup in advance. Infuse your bridal makeup palette with the hues of the season without going overboard by considering these suggestions.


Look for rose-tinged fall colors to enhance your natural coloring. Berries aren't just blue or black; several have red or pink tones in them. Fortunately, rich berry shades are fashionable in the fall. Bring your cheeks and lips to life with your choice of red or pink berry hues.


Beauty and style

The Trick to Making Your Eyes Look Bigger

There are actually several. To get huge eyes try these tricks:

1. Always curl lashes before applying mascara. You can actually curl lashes AFTER mascara is applied, as long as your mascara is dried (a good tip to know if you want to curl your lashes later in the day without removing your mascara).

2. Don’t forget your bottom lashes. For years I avoided mascara on them until a makeup expert showed me how much mascara on my lower lashes really make my eyes pop. I rarely go without now. To apply mascara on lower lashes, hold the brush vertically, then sweep it back and forth.

3. Individual false lashes are exotic, gorgeous and can look natural if applied correctly. Large cities offer “lash bars” in the hottest department stores. I expect the counters at most department stores will have experts in false lashes. Ask at yours.

Don’t want to go to department store? Drugstores carry false eyelashes. If they’re too long, you can trim them with scissors.




4. For a doe-eyed, seductive look, try lining your lower lids with a creamy white eye pencil.

5. White liner may sound odd, but it really opens up the eye. You can also try putting it on the inside corner of both your upper and your lower lids.

6. Another way to open up eyes is to skip the white eyeliner and opt instead for a platinum highlighter. Dot along the browbone, then blend in. Apply highlighter at the inner corners of your eyes. Follow with eye shadow.

7. Make sure your brows are manicured. Until you get your brows professionally waxed, tweezed or threaded, you won’t realize how much they affect the rest of your face. Cleaning up your brow line of stray hairs, adding a slight arch and filling in sparse spots are key to making eyes look much larger.

I find once you get a professional brow job, you can do it yourself for a few months using the pro job as a “map” of where to tweeze. To keep brows in place, try a clear eyebrow gel like Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara or just spritz a bit of hairspray onto an old toothbrush and brush brows in perfect place.

Guide for a Healthy Diet

Your knowledge and belief in the benefits of a healthy diet is you advantage in attaining a happier, ill-free, and definitely longer life. Healthy eating does not only make you a more active and stronger individual, it also strengthens you immune system and prevents the possibilities of the occurrence of life-threatening ailments like cancers and heart diseases. If in case you already are suffering from these illnesses, a healthy diet can reduce the pain and help you to manage these better.
For a healthy individual, a good diet can maintain the proper functioning of his or her body. Maintenance of every healthy single tissue and organ is necessary in order to achieve a healthy style of living.
A balanced diet means
that the four food groups - vegetables and fruits, grains, meat, and dairy products - must be consumed according to how much your body needs it. For example, a person high in cholesterol may lessen the intake of animal protein, which is proven to hold more fat than the other groups, in order to prevent heart attack or stroke. Hear the symptoms or feel the heavy unhealthy organ - it is wise to learn how to listen to what your body tells you.
  • Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins are organic compounds used for the healthy maintenance of the body. The most common but are most important vitamins are Vitamins A, C and D. Vitamin A, which is also identified as the Beta-carotene, strengthens our immune system thereby reducing the risk of illness and certain diseases. This can be found in carrots, cabbage, sweet potatoes and other green leafy vegetables. On the other hand, vitamins C and D are essential in calcium absorption for the benefit of the bones, teeth and cartilage. These said vitamins can also speed up the healing of wounds. Vitamin C and D rich foods are tomatoes, citrus and dairy products like milk, butter and cereals.

Minerals are the inorganic compounds readied for the preservation of body parts that would result to their proper functioning. Potassium and magnesium are big aids of the nervous and muscle system. These can be found in vegetables, fruits, and cereals. Iron regulates the flow of the blood to all parts of the body by means of increasing the blood’s oxygen consumption. Calcium, which includes milk and yogurt, helps in the proper formation of the human body. Zinc found in meat and other supplements helps strengthen the immune system.
Food Groups for a
Healthy Diet
  • 1. , (carrots, broccoli, cabbage. spinach, beans, apples, bananas, avocados, oranges)
5 to 12 small servings per day of any from these groups will be enough to ensure a healthy diet. As the nutrition experts say, you can eat fruits and vegetables in abundance without having to worry about the healthy diet you would want to maintain.

  • 2. Meat (pork, beef, turkey, chicken)
Advisable servings per day would be between 2 to 3 only. Remember that you must not get anxious about protein shortage due to small quantity of meat consumption everyday because the protein you get from fruits and vegetables will be enough to sustain your protein needs.



  • 3 5 to 10 servings of grains will help you keep the energy you need for the
entire day. It is better if you can keep a balanced ratio of whole grains and refined grains. For every 6 oz of grains that you would take, be sure that 3 oz of these are whole grains for these kinds are more nutritious than the refined grains.

  • 4. Dairy Products (milk, cheese, yogurt)
For natural dairy products like milk and cheese, only 2 to 4 serving per day is needed because these products may contain big amounts of saturated fats. Yogurt if fat-free therefore it is more advisable to take this instead. Also try supplements for calcium and low-fat products.


Arab Bridal Dress Styles

A bride can get a bridal dress in almost any style imaginable. Depending upon how formal the wedding in Arab is, the bride may choose a floor length bridal dress or a dress that is cut to the knee. Also, a bridal dress will be selected depending upon the body type of the bride: the goal is to choose a dress that will compliment the natural contours of a bride's body.
A bridal dress that is an a-line is a dress that compliments the upper torso and does not bring too much attention to the area of the waist. The dress flares at the bottom into a gentle bell shape. This dress is ideal for the bride that is self conscious about her waist line as it draws attention away from the waist and toward the upper torso area. For the bride looking to have a fairy tale wedding, the ball gown wedding gown is the ideal choice. Like the a-line bridal dress, the gown does not draw too much attention to the waist. Rather, the dress compliments the upper torso area and streamlines the area below the waist.
For women that are extremely worried about the waistline, an empire gown proves ideal. The bridal dress does not accentuate the waist at all, and the bust line is more defined because the bottom of the gown meets the top of the gown above the mid-section. Alternatively, for a bride that is looking for a sleek and sensual bridal dress, the sheath bridal gown is perfect. Such a gown clings to the body and compliments the natural curves of the bride wearing it. A bridal dress can be purchased in Arab that is made from different fabrics and materials and in different styles. The choice is totally up to the bride, but a dream gown is available! What kind of options does a bride have when it comes to a wedding dress?
Many wedding gowns have lace as part of their design. There are different types of lace that a bride can choose from. The types of lace that are available include Alencon, Brussels Lace, Chantilly, Cluny Lace, Schiffli Lace, and Venice Lace. Each style of lace is made differently and the intricacy of the lace varies.

The list of fabrics that a bridal dress can be made of is rather extensive. Gowns and dresses may be crafted out one or more of the following: Batiste, Brocade, Channuese, Chiffon, Chintz, Cotton, Crepe, Crinoline, English Net, Eyelet, Faille, Georgette, Illusion, Jersey, Lace, Linen, Moire, Net, Nylon, Organdy, Pique, Rayon, Satin, Silk, Tafleta, Tulle, Velvet, and Voile. The fabric selection will depend upon the season the wedding is being held in and whether or not the bride has any allergies to a particular fabric. Short of such considerations, the choice is limitless.
Dress lengths also vary when it comes to designer wedding dresses. Some dresses are cut so they hang just above or below the kneecaps, still other dresses hang to the wearer's ankle. Some women prefer dresses that hang a few inches below the knee and above the ankle area. Meanwhile, a bridal dress may touch the floor if the bride prefers.

Another consideration that brides will have to deal with when choosing a bridal dress for their wedding day is the type of collar and neckline they would like to have on their wedding dress. Some dresses have a collar, but most do not. The collar can either stand upright or it can be attached to the hem of the back of the neckline and it appears as a shawl.

Necklines are another matter entirely. Some necklines are high, revealing nothing and covering the neck entirely, while others are low cut revealing some of the breast area. The bride will need to decide what they are comfortable in and it is a good idea to try out several dresses with different necklines to see how they look and feel.

Some bridal dresses are sleeveless and others have sleeves. Some sleeves can be short, some extend the length of the arm and still other sleeves extend to the hand. Winter weddings typically involve wedding dresses with long sleeves and shawls while summer weddings are suitable for sleeveless or off the shoulder bridal dresses.

The length of the train on the dress is yet another consideration. Bridal dresses are made that have trains that are extensively long, reminiscent of Princess Diana, or there are trains that are short. Meanwhile, trains can be attached to the waist of a dress and other trains are attached to the shoulders.

Mother of the Groom Dress

Choosing which Mother of the Groom dress can be more agonizing than many people think and most will never know the amount of thought and energy that has gone into making just the right Mother Groom dresses choice.

Unfortunately, the amount of agonizing one does over something does not usually equal the success one enjoys over the outcome, so please do yourself a favour and try not to stress over the decision of which Mother of the Groom dress you should choose.

Here Are 4 Top Tips To Make Your Selection Easier:

1. Take a look at what is available

2. Make a mental note of 2 or 3 that are your favorites

3. Sit back and don't give it another thought for a few days

4. Make your purchase

Many women find this method takes the stress out of shopping for their Mother of the Groom dresses. In fact this is a great method you can use when shopping for anything.

Most often what you will find is that after a few days you know for sure which dress you want and you can just go into the shop and make your purchase. However, more often than not you will find that one of the dresses that you favorited in your mental note will keep coming to mind. You may even begin to wonder if it will still be available in your size and choice of color by the time you get back to the store.

As your concern over whether this particular Mother of the Groom dress will still be available grows, it becomes clear that your choice has been made. In fact sometimes just the thought of leaving the store without the dress can help to make up ones mind.

It is amazing how the thought of losing something can suddenly alert us to how much we actually wanted it in the first place.

There is another advantage to this kind of shopping too, and that is that you begin to trust your initial choice more and more. You see you already know which dress you want, but then your analytical mind starts doubting and questioning whether you have made the right choice and suddenly you become unsure.

Try asking your daughter to make the final choice for you if necessary, but hopefully this will only serve to strengthen your certainty of the dress you actually want, because having someone else make the choice for you usually makes you realise that what they chose definitely was or definitely was not the one you liked after all!

Trust your instinct. You will look great

An Antique Wedding Ring

Choosing antique wedding rings is a something that the bride and groom should both agree to. It isn't quite right that one has an antique ring and the other doesn't. In most cases, a couple has decided that they want a traditional wedding, an old-fashioned romance, and antique wedding rings to symbolize their union. So usually it's easy for a couple to agree whether they want them or not.
  • This should go without saying, but there are several ways to buy antique wedding rings, including online at websites, from jewelry stores, or from antique stores. Sometimes, an individual will be selling a family heirloom or you might find them at estate sales. If you're looking for an authentic antique, you may want to consult a professional jeweler or antique dealer before choosing antique wedding rings.
  • Keep in mind that jewelers can also design the antique ring you want -- it just won't be an authentic antique. Some couples just like the looks of antique wedding rings and don't care whether it's really antique, so this is a great option for those couples. Don't rush into purchasing a ring until you've decided exactly what you want. Also, determine if it matters whether they are real antiques or not
  • An antique appraiser or jewelry appraiser can give you a detailed appraisal of the rings you're looking at and verify whether the stones are real and if they're really antique. Many couples who are looking for authentic antique wedding rings will want to have a reputable antique dealer look for them or appraise any rings they find. You'll want to get an appraisal for insurance purposes anyway, so this is a necessary step to protect yourself and get a good idea of what the rings are worth.
  • If you're lucky enough to have the choice of antique heirlooms, you may want to decide whether you want new stones added, or if you want to opt for designing your own antique wedding rings, even though they're not authentic. Depending on whether you're looking for the traditional heirloom quality can determine which route you prefer for choosing antique wedding rings.
