Fall fashion- Blazers, trench coats and leather jackets.

Blazers, coats and leather jackets are very in this fall season.

But if you do not know how to properly carry this look, you will end up messing everything up.So here i am to help you figure out how to properly style this up.



Blazers-


#1 The simpler the blazer or coat, the better the look. So try some descent blazers of  colors like brown, black or white.




#2 Black works with almost everything. So if you are confused about the colors, don't worry, choose the simple black colored blazer and coat, and you are sure to nail the look.





#3 Brown works wonders on blazers and coats. It makes you look professional yet sexy (provided you have a good figure).






#4 If you want to make this a bit more stylish, try some neon blazers and coats on neutral colored shirts and trousers.



#5 And, if you're a fan of white (like me) you can choose white blazers or coats too. Just make sure that you don't ruin the look by pairing it up with the wrong top or trouser. Go for a black top or dark jeans with the white blazer or coat.









Leather Jackets-

#1 With dresses- Black leather jackets work with almost every color. But they look best when the colors are dark. Be sure to pair this up with long boots and a trendy handbag to complete the look.








#2 Studded leather jackets are a big hit this season. Try these with neutral colored tees to highlight the studded jacket.






#3 Leather jackets look more stylish with printed trousers. You can pair them with black and white trousers. As this is a bit risky, i'd advice you to be sure before you decide to experiment   with such prints.





#4 Try black on black. Pair the black leather jacket with a black tee and a blue jeans. This looks simple yet stylish.





#5 Try neutral colors like white, peach and baby pink under the leather jacket. This looks absolutely descent and stylish at the same time.





#6 Layer leather jackets with scarves. This completes the look and adds a trendy pinch to it.







Trench coats-


#1 The classic brown trench coat is always a winner. Keep it simple and pair it with simple jeans and sweater.





#2 Pair a black trench coat with scarf. you can also wear these trench coats over a glimmering one piece or a dress of any color.









Whatever you decide to wear, just carry the look confidently and also keep experimenting!

Home cleaning and decor made easy


Diwali is almost here. And everyone is busy cleaning and decorating their homes for the festival of lights.

So here i am to make this easy for you. Here are some quick cleaning and decorating tips and ideas to make this job easy for you!


Cleaning tips-


#1 Use vinegar and lemon to clean the utensils. Lemon is a boon for microwave cleaning. Just squeeze the lemon juice in a bowl and add some water. Place the lemon in the bowl too and place it in the microwave for 5 minutes. It will eliminate the food odors and the steam will loosen the hard clutters that had condensed inside. Wipe the microwave to remove the clutter with damp cloth.


#2 Use vinegar to clean the tiles and bath tub of your bathroom.


#3 Use a soft paint brush to remove the dust of things like photo frames and places that are difficult to reach.


#4 To clean a narrow vase, use rice. Rinse rice with warm water and pour it into the vase, cover its mouth with your hand, shake vigorously and then clean with water.


#5 Use hairspray to remove the coloured marks done on the wall by the little ones. For crayon marks, use a tooth brush with tooth paste and rub gently.


Decorating tips-


#1 Use mirrors of different shapes. You can find many DIYs on mirrors for your home decor. Mirrors add an artistic touch to the house and also add more depth to the room.








#2  Recycle those old glass jars into lamps or vases. Check the diy here- /http://fellowfellow.com/sweet-diy-votives/http://www.pinterest.com/pin/180988478748286908/






#3 Use scented candles to add a calming radiance to the living room.




#4 Use light around the mirrors or around the beds and curtains to add a festive touch to the house.





#5 If you find an antique piece while cleaning the rooms, do not throw it away. Antiques are very much in this season. I found an old wall clock and i'm gonna paint it and hang it in my room. This saves a lot of money and also looks awesome.


#6 Make colourful rugs for your room. Here is the DIY- http://www.pinterest.com/pin/242631498648780368/




#7 Keep colourful cushions on the sofa and the bed. They look beautiful.









#8 Use old tin cans or jars with lights to make lamps and hang/keep it outside or in a dark room.






 Lastly, enjoy cleaning and decorating your home. In the words of my mum- " If you don't enjoy doing it, don't do it." But it seems like i have no other option, so i help her.


Also, i request everyone to celebrate an Eco friendly Diwali and stay safe.  HAPPY DIWALI!

CHEERS!
