Bienvenir guys n galz, your dish with the ingredient of hottest
trends for this quarter is just ready and the trick is you don’t
have to eat but read it.
In last quarter we had bling, animal skin, traveled back in time
to revisit the ‘70s poncho and put a futuristic metallic spin on
shoes and bags. We made sophisticated boucle into casual wear and
wrapped ourselves in thick warm materials, now it’s time to ring
in new set of trends. Let’s look ahead to see what the future
holds for your closet in spring/summer 2005.
“Aquatic blue-green! Exotic, calming is the big color this year,”
Colorwise, this season you want a crisp mix of various hues of
blue and white.” Look for any and all shades of blue and
blue-green. These vibrant colors are reminiscent of island living,
so think exotic and playful when shopping for dresses, skirts,
tops and prints for shalwar kameez. Bold prints are in The look:
African, Navajo, Floral, Geometric. Think bright & bold
in-your-face. No wallflowers in sight. Shiny metallic fabrics are
hot, hot, hot – again.
Colour of the quarter: blue, white.
Outlet of quarter: Exist
located in city center with its obvious “for men only” decor
is truly meant to be a good shopping stop for Men. You can
find semi formal/formal well cut and trendy clothes to match
with ongoing trend. Do not forget to check belts which are
hard to get if you are looking with a touch of class.
Tip of the quarter: To make two different patterns work
well together, make sure they’re the same size (for example,
big plaids with big stripes, small plaids with small stripes.)
But if you’re wearing two striped items, make sure the stripes
are varied in size (some thick, some thicker).
Here’s a fashion cheat sheet:

Bigger, bolder patterns make you look bigger.

Horizontal patterns make you look wider.

Vertical patterns make you look taller and thinner.

Trouser cuffs make short legs look shorter. |

Just to complete the look Accessories are as important as
clothes. Bangles and beads are the two words you need to know when
shopping for jewelry in this quarter. “Wooden beading is a big
thing, and chunky bangles and colorful beaded necklaces too,”.
Pile on the bangles in all sizes and colors and textures. Snakeshkin is in for purses and shoes too.
Outlet of the Quarter: 5th Evenue
is just the right place to get all the branded accessories
like shoes, bags and jewelry.
Tip of the Quarter: Mix and match wood, snakeskin and
rhinestones. If you’re feeling funky, layer your necklaces as
well – or keep it simple with a fabulous beaded choker.
Makeup is another important think in making you up. As shiny
material in clothes is in same goes for you r makeup too.
Glittery blue shadow with soft shades i.e., light pink or
peach in lipstick is just right to go with the aqua theme of
this quarter. |

Outlet of the
Quarter: Krylon city located in the city center have a full
range of a German makeup company, Krylon. Once know for
professional make up products only, now they have a wide range
of personal use too. Krylon ultra base is a must buy.
Tip of the Quarter: One cardinal rule of great makeup
application is good lighting. The best way to apply makeup is
in natural light, but since this isn’t always an option, try
to have a tube light and bulb both on the upper side of your
make up mirror. The next step to great makeup is to keep skin
hydrated. Nothing will add years to your look faster than
dull, dry skin. Follow the routine of Morning cleansing, apply
a light, non-greasy daily moisturizer (Many offer SPF, which
is important to use every day, even under makeup.) and last
but not the least night cream at night.
After several seasons of sexy curls and bodacious volume,
spring hair forecasted a new message: fresh and pretty, with
rich tones. Gone are the teased ‘dos, fat curls, and
supersized volume. What’s in this season is a softer, more
natural look, and a welcome celebration of real hair –
straight, wavy, or super textured. The more natural look is
easier to achieve at home, and more wearable as an everyday,
daytime look. It’s all about versatility, being experimental
based on your mood, and working with your hair and its texture
for maximum results with minimal effort.
Outlet of Quarter: If you really in a mood of pampering your
hair, you should visit Ali & Tehseen studio in Gulberg. It is
really worth spending your money on personalized professional
cuts, styles and treatments for your hair.
Tip of the Quarter: The way you wash your hair can hinder or
help your scalp, hair and style as well. You should apply
shampoo on completely wet hair and only on the hair nearest
the scalp. By gently working the hair into lather around your
scalp it concentrates the shampoo where the oils and
impurities build up while allowing a smaller amount of shampoo
on the ends of the hair follicle.
If you have long hair you can use your fingers to de-tangle
both during the shampoo and during the rinse process. You
should also avoid shampooing your hair upside down which tends
to create additional tangles. After washing, gently squeeze
the water from each section of your hair working from the
roots out to the tips before combing out. People even after
having a very socially active previous quarter are still
looking forward to spring party season before it gets too hot.
Socialite of the Quarter: Mian Salli not only acts as a
perfect host for parties held at his traditionally decorated
haveli but also seem to be present in all main happening
events. Some men just get better with age, and he surely is
one of them.
Hangout of quarter: Polo lounge with a beautiful view of lush
green huge lawns and polo oriented decor is just perfect for a
calm spring lunch.
Tip of the Quarter: Most of the parties held now have themes
so make sure you know about the theme before hand to dress
accordingly. Do not leave the house before you are fully
satisfied with your final look. Feeling confident makes you
feel and look beautiful.
