Valentine It’s the day we choose to celebrate love and a day we ransack our wardrobes wondering what would be the perfect thing to wear. Shruti Tomar breaks it down a tad for you. So take these cues and dress up this Valentine’s Day
W
hat to wear is an all-too-confusing question and the answer is never a satisfactory one. Everything is too floosy, too tight, too fitted, too boring or simply something you’re not in the mood for. We give you four must-haves in your wardrobe whether it’s date-night, a formal evening, movie night with the friends or a dress-up do with the girls.
Dress-me-up
A flirty dress is a sure winner when headed down the confusion dungeon. A versatile fun dress is an investment that will never let you down. Play with pink, red, burgundy, peach,

black, white or simply anything festive. The final no brainer is the sultry red dress. It pays tribute to the day of love like no other hue. If you’re in the mood for a slight deviation, try pink. Add an element of high fashion with a print – say leopard print or a painterly one in a coat, shoes or a belt. Like to stick to the classics, the little black dress with red accents is your answer. You cannot go wrong with it! Show off red accents by way of a bold red lip, red stilettos or red nails. In the mood for something girly, pull that floral dress out of the closet and put it on. Get funky by pairing it with a boxy blazer or leather jacket to really set a contrast. Slip into an adorable dress, a pretty hairdo and heels that will help you sail through the perfect night feeling loved.

Tips to make the occasion a little steamier - The classics work always –lingerie, candles, music, wine, and good lighting! Write your loved one a poem, or a limerick, and if you can’t do that, a text. Loungewear is essential if the party is for two and indoors. Relax and do your thing! You can never go wrong with pink champagne. For the men, a blazer, a bow tie, and something shiny is always a good option if taking the lady out for a night about town.

and silhouettes on Valentine’s Day. It’s subtle, no doubt, but a fun, cute print in hot pink or fire red will also pay homage to this day of love. Pair with denims, a skirt and top with a red jacket or a muffler in hues of red and pink to stay true to the colour of the day. Moustaches, kitties, owls, scissors, dragons, random graphics, hearts, icons, you name it; prints that take quirky and place it firmly in the stylish domain are your options. Try something different this Valentine’s and surprise a loved one or friends by unleashing the eccentric side of you!
Hot heels
Shoes maketh any outfit perfect and no outfit is justified without a pair of seriously sexy shoes. A pair in insane red or fiery fuchsia is your winning options, although nothing says quite as sexy as a pair of sky high black stilettos. A sloppy pair of shoes can really bring your outfit down even if your clothes are perfect to the hilt. Always remember to invest in a few good pairs instead of several crass ones that do not serve the purpose. For a dress, you could go with a predictable but beautiful pair of high
Love musts One V-Day survival item that every single girl needs: • Lots of chocolate. • Red Chanel lipstick. • Perfume is essential. • Realistic expectations. • An eyebrow pencil. • Great girlfriends! •A great cocktail dress that makes you feel beautiful is a must-have. • A slick leather jacket or a killer pair of heels!

heels that will not let you down style-wise or you could be a little unpredictable and pair a cute dress and leather jacket with a pair of ankle booties. Cute kitten heels look great with flirty girly numbers while ballerinas go well with skirts and capris. Either way take your shoes very seriously as they can make or break an outfit.
Accessory to love
While at this point, we’d love to say diamonds are your best friends on this day but there are sweet jewels, candy-coloured rings, heart-shaped clutches, cute bows and so much more. An accessory can be the perfect accent to an otherwise plain outfit. A red scarf can instantly set the mood for Valentine’s Day when added to a mono-tone dress or a vintage love-brooch to a shirt-skirt combination, red tights or stockings can add just the right pizzazz to your ensemble. The key is to keep it minimal but classy. Pick out statement accessories and work with those. A pair of stud earrings, a bunch of midi-rings, an ear cuff, a bold wrist cuff, collar pins, so much to play around with. An accessory-less outfit does look a tad drab so make sure to accessorise well when dressing up for Valentine’s.

Romance
in the threads
Romance is evergreen. It never goes out of style even where fashion trends are concerned. Pretty florals, lacy tops, boudoir inspired ensembles and even trends taken from the boyfriend’s wardrobe lend coyness to the female form like nothing else does. Shruti Tomar puts together trends that spell romance and more

omance-filled fashion is not a new fad. It’s a classic trend the ebbs and neaps with every passing fashion season. There are quintessential feminine styles palpable in Spring/ Summer 2014 that can be played around with and dressed up or down. From metallic tops to pretty florals, perfect pleats to a shirt borrowed from the man’s closet, these romantic trends grace the feminine form with immense grace and style.
Luxe metal
A quick look at fashion weeks around the world showed that romantic dressing is ruling the roost in the first quarter of this fashion season. It is the time to shine officially and metallics are dancing in the spotlight. One has to be
careful with this trend because it can easily lead you into the tacky category. Metallics are taking on a luxurious tone with opulent golds, stunning silvers and lavish lames. Lanvin focused primarily on bold metallic fabrics this season with a sporty outlook while Dries van Noten dipped their brush in the romantic can and came out with beautiful prints and leisurely silhouettes. Also noticed in this designer’s collection was the gold Midas touch with gold accents all over to infused in minute details like pleats. Givenchy brought a metallic spring forth with tribal influenced designs. Earthy colours with bronzed metallic tones added just the right amount of glam to the flowing silhouettes.
Pretty pleats
Nothing screams romantic as much as

a pretty high-tea pleated skirt. Pleats sashayed down global runways with a lot of aplomb and cutesy this season. Designers gave pleats their own take with a wide array of masculine as well as feminine looks. Haider Ackermann, for example, concentrated on androgynous aspects boasting a good amount of pleated details. At Lanvin, pleat embellishments found space in pretty frocks in the metallic palette. Texturized lames and rich brocades made the pleats really stand out and claim their own spot. Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf took inspiration from the typical schoolgirl uniform and tossed up their own version on the pleated skirt, shirt and blazer. They dabbled with the proportion and volume giving the entire look a very avant-garde feel. At Celine, vintage took prominence with colourful designs in sheer and pleated skirts.
Floral fiesta
Florals are an integral part of the romantic wardrobe. Spring runways have been flooded by all things floral but with a clear distinction between soft hand-brushed florals and abstract bold strokes of florals. Jungle florals

at Hermès stood out prominently in oversized but simple silhouettes. Florals were spun in a different weave at Dolce & Gabbana in a Grecian manner. Romantic and dreamy were the words to describe the collection of this star-duo. Tory Burch’s collection was a complete contrast with a garden being brought alive in his trés prêt range. Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs used medium size flowers in dual tones whilst Emporio Armani and Marni piled colourful flowers with foliage to create depth in their designs. Fleetwood Mac brought floaty dreamy dresses on to the ramp with midi-lengths and wallpaper flowers on dark backgrounds. Slits on those frocks enhanced the sexy element of these dresses. Dress romantic and feel romantic for it is the season to be in love. Cotton Oxford shirt, MANGO, `2,290
Boyfriend blues
The stereotypical menswear shirt has drawn serious attention this season. It has been feminized, tied-up, worn open-collared and open-buttoned, elongated, made in softer fabrics and basically gone in for a serious haul around to fit into a woman’s wardrobe. That being said, none of this reworking has taken away from the boyish feel of this menswear staple. At Nina Ricci, the show opened with a curated collection of white shirts that have been remade throwing out onto the runway really stunning results. Saint Laurent’s boyfriend shirt went back to the 80s with the rock and roll chic vibe. Jackets were worn with the shirt to bring on a very androgynous feel to the upcoming season. Hérmes had a very relaxed take on this wardrobe basic where white shirts were teamed with slouchy trousers or leather jackets letting off a very cool yet chic air. Balenciaga’s Alexander Wang created a white shirt dress that was a very refreshing take on the boyfriend’s shirt.

Valentine
wears
For a man, the task of dressing up for any occasion may not take up as much time and planning as a woman, but it does take some amount of thought. Vinod Rana brings to you key pieces that you must have in your wardrobe to make dressing up a lot easier
T
he most important thing is to keep things simple. Don’t be sporting anything outlandish, attention grabbing or outrageous so as to bring your personality to the fore and more importantly, this day has to be all about her, so keep it toned down. Be comfortable because it will show in your body language. Apart from that, always dress for the occasion.
If you are going for the casual date, then a ribbed sweater with a pair of comfortable trousers or denims is the way to go. Making Valentine’s Day a formal affair, then a wide lapel jacket sets the mood.
Formal fare
#2
A little unusual for Valentine’s Day to attend a formal event but if you do find yourself having to attend one, first check dress code, if any. If there isn’t any, then a formal gig will call for a suit at the least and if it’s totally over the top, a tuxedo is your answer. Whatever the case may be, a man must own a trusty navy suit in his wardrobe. Wear with a white dress shirt, a bow tie and black Oxfords.
#1 #3
Drinks around town
If the idea is to have drinks and then head for a night out, you could dress up or down depending on where you are going. That being said, it is Valentine’s Day and it does call for some thought. A pair of slim jeans with a shirt topped by a complementing v-neck jumper or cardigan is one way to go. Carry a leather jacket and wear loafers. Another way to go is chinos with a t-shirt and denim jacket sporting a casual and cool look.

#5 #6
Cinematic cool
This one is easy to dress for since at a movie-date one spends most of the time in the dark anyway. A blazer or a smart jacket showing that you are making the effort with a casual t-shirt, easy chinos and boots is ideal. Want to dress down, replace the blazer with a cardigan, trench or an easy pullover. Just don’t be cheap about the drinks and popcorn!
#8 #10 #7
Night-in
If the plan is to stay in and have a homecooked meal the dress code can be just about anything from loungewear to dressy to simply your pyjamas. Either way, you could pull up your denims, a casual check shirt and a v-neck jumper. Keep it comfy and make it a date to remember. The key things to look out for when dressing up for Valentine’s Day is remember where you are going and are comfortable with what you are wearing. You do not want to spend your time with her adjusting your attire when you should be paying attention to her. An uncomfortable man makes an uncomfortable date. Try to live up to her expectations and be yourself.

The holidays are just about getting over and it’s time to go back to school. So much excitement, so much to look forward to and a whole lot of brand new clothes! Vinod Rana brings to you a few trends that are standing out in the kiddos’ department at the start of the year
A
lot of fashion for the kids is reflective of what happens in the fashion arena for adults. The winter chill is still there and spring isn’t here just yet, so the woolies, the cute sweaters, preppy cardigans and beanie caps are all still trending on the little ones. Wrap them up stylishly and you’ll have heads turning to get a second look at them.
Active wear
Active wear or sporty garments have found a liking in the little girls department too. Cute, sporty options for the little ladies have surfaced on the shelves of kiddie stores. This has come to play as a reflection of what their mothers are sporting. The ability to go from a class to lunchtime to after –school sports without too many changes in costumes is ideal for kids on the go.
Geek trends
The geek chic look has been around for a while in the fashion world for adults but that trend has now percolated to the kiddie arena too. Peter Pan collars, prim and propah looks, patent shoes; the complete junior set is trending in a big way with the kids. If your kid needs or has glasses, then it just automatically completes the look. Thickrimmed spectacles have the smarty pants yet stylish look down to pat.

jan-feb 14
Tailor-made shoes
Of course, kids these days have it better than us. Could you think of customized shoes for yourself when you were younger? Chances are no. If your child loves drawing or you’ve caught them doodling when they should be doing their homework, channelize that art to their shoes. Hand them their pair of shoes and let them have a go at it. Brands these days are doing it anyway, so why not have your child personalize his or her very own pair of sneakers or canvas shoes. Paintable or re-paintable shoes are also available aplenty for kids to satisfy that artistic tingle that has them scribbling all over anything and everything handy.
Jegging Jane
Jeggings are a great way to dress your little girl up stylishly for winters. They come in a variety of colours and can be mixed and matched with any outfit. Prints, florals, animal prints, textures and fabrics, jeggings can easily be worn with a simple top in a bold colour or mixed with another pattern or an oversized sweater, either way; kids can easily pull a mismatched look artfully!
Modish mode
Skinny jeans, colour blocking, A-line dressings, motorcycle jackets and cute accessories are hugely popular with the children these days. You could also go the monochrome-with-a-pop-of-colour

way to make them really stand out. Accessorise them well so as to bring out their cuteness but make sure you don’t go overboard lest they start looking older than their age. Children these days are very observant and will read their likes and dislikes to you from the back of their palms. They know the colours they like, the styles they fancy, the shoes they want and the accessory that looks best on them. So, if you have a fashionconscious child who knows how to stay on trend, you know what to do!

Bunk
those
myths
Let’s wade through the innumerable beauty tips that we are bombarded with daily and sift the Wikipedia from the old wives tales. So much beauty advice, what’s true and what’s bogus, one simply doesn’t know what to listen to anymore. Vinod Rana picks out eight myths and drives them into the ground for you
44
jan-feb 14
Y
ou must have heard these beauty beliefs time and again and even tried a few of them but don’t lose heart if one of them is listed below. If something works for you, it simply does. Here’s the list of common beauty myths that we’ve all believed at some point in time.
Foundation with SPF offers the
1) skin protection from the sun
This happens to be a myth. Pigments that are present in the foundation do not provide as much protection as is needed to obstruct the rays of the sun. So, if you are spending the day in the sun, make sure you apply some actual sunscreen under your makeup.
2) Too much makeup leads to breakouts
No, it doesn’t. Especially not if you clean your brushes thoroughly and toss out old makeup. Wash your brushes in tepid water with a little bit of soap in it and leave to dry naturally. What’s important is to make sure all your makeup is off your face before you go to bed. Bid adieu to breakouts!
Chopping off your tresses often will
3) help it grow faster
This is a commonly believed myth. But think about it logically. Your hair stems from the root, so how does trimming the end aid in faster growth. Yes, do trim your hair regularly for healthy hair. A trim combats all those dried and tired ends of hair but it does not help hair grow faster. That’s all nature’s doing!
razor-shaving was taking place. This has become such a famous myth but did you stop to think that when we wax, hair comes back naturally.
4) Plucking atop the eyebrows is taboo
All those stranded strands above the brow need to go without a doubt. This goes without saying that a well-shaped eye brow is always a good thing but an over-plucked eyebrow or an over grown one, both are a no-no. In such arenas of beauty, trust yourself with a professional.
Pull out a grey hair and your entire
5) head of hair will turn grey
We’ve heard this only too often. The first thing most people hear when they are looking worriedly in the mirror at their wanton grey strand is that don’t pull it out or more will sprout. This is untrue. There are only a limited number of follicles on the scalp. So whether you pull that strand of white hair out or no, ageing happens only when it has to.
8) Split ends are repairable 6)
OD-ing on chocolates leads to pimples
Well, it depends because this can be true and it can be a myth. Chocolate has high quantities of refined sugar which is said to lead to acne breakouts. So the real criminal here is the refined sugar. Everything in moderation is the rule that should be applied here.
Split ends are not repairable. You can get all the oiling and hair spas needed to boost moisture in your hair but what’s really needed is monthly or bi-monthly trip to the salon just for a trim. Use treatments, masks and heating products if your hair is subjected to any heat.

This is a popular belief and it’s a myth. What you are feeling is growing back possibly is the blunt end of hair that was left behind while selectcitywalk.com

fixes
With the increasing paucity of time, we are always looking for shortcuts to doing things that are part of our routine. Here are a few ways to cut time spent on your beauty regime into half. Vinod Rana shares them with you

jan-feb 14
T
ake a note of these tips and find yourself smiling at the extra minutes you get on hand.
Pick up a foundation or BB cream that targets multiple needs.
One of the easiest ways to get it all done in a matter of minutes is to have a multipurpose base. Buy one that addresses all your skincare requirements and also the coverage your skin needs. This helps you get rid of a million little steps in between that take up so much of your morning time. An all-in-one BB cream is an easy beauty fix when you are jammed for time.
Use the’3’ technique with the blush brush.
We aren’t professional makeup artists so doing your cheeks may take up more of your time than you have. A cheat trick to help with contouring your cheeks perfectly, a la Kardashian, is the ‘3’ technique. Quite simply, swirl your brush around the bronzer or blush and begin along the hairline. Trace the number three on the right side of your face by using the brush along the edge of your face, bringing it to the centre of your face under the cheekbone and then back out to the edge again, swiping the jawbone and ending at your chin. Repeat a backwards three on the left side of your face. Blend it all now. Easy and time-saving once you get the hang of it!
Opt for an eye shadow range that buys you minutes.
All those million eye shadow colours on the palette can drive you crazy and waste a copious amount of time in the mornings. Use an assigned palette with marked colours for the eyelid, brow bone and crease. This way you do your eyes in seconds with no thought about what shade goes with what. A quick tip, dampen an eyeliner brush, dab it over the darkest shadow and that’s your eyeliner. Both done in a jiffy.
Avoid a face full of makeup and just highlight one aspect.
If you are scrunched for time, just amp up one feature of your face. Like smokey eyes and nude glossy lip-balmy lips. A red lipstick with an otherwise clear face will simply add luminosity to your face in an instant and it’ll look like you spent all day primping yourself.
Braid your hair a night before.
This helps in creating a fresh and different look with absolutely no time spent on it when you wake up the next morning. When your hair is slightly damp if you’ve washed it the night before else just wet your hair a little and braid them into two braids for soft loose waves, four for medium loose waves and six braids for tight waves. Sleep, wake up, blow dry or use a flat iron on each braid to style it the way you want. Untie each braid and voila! You’re set!
Night out cue
Lipstick looking too matte and flat? Reach out for your makeup bag and spice it up in seconds by applying lip gloss at the centre of your lips or if a glittery eye shadow is handy, use that instead. Purse lips to add instant shine and this will also lend a fuller look to your lips while the powdery texture of the eye shadow will help make the lipstick last longer.
Clumpy mascara, don’t fret
Tightly close your mascara tube and immerse it into a glass of hot water for a few minutes. Make sure the water is not boiling hot but just hot. When you take the tube out, your mascara would have softened with no clumps!
when you keep your foundation in place with translucent powder.
Excess blush, no time
You can’t do your makeup all over again! Grab a clean brush, swirl it around in your translucent powder and swipe it on your cheeks up until it tones down the bright colour on your cheeks. If it’s a cream blush, mix your moisturizer with your foundation on the back of your hand and blend it ever so lightly on your cheeks. This will help tone it down instantly.
Creamy eye shadow creases
Your favourite eye shadow is of the creamy variety and creases when worn for long. Use this trick to fix it. When you’ve applied the eye shadow, brush a spot of translucent powder lightly on top to keep the colour in place. You basically apply the same rule

The bob hairstyle has been made famous by several iconic people, one that comes to mind instantly being Anna Wintour, long standing editor of the American Vogue. Vinod Rana talks of the bob crop and how it’s gaining popularity galore

Bob’s
A
classic haircut that never goes out of style, there is one to flatter any face. There are short bobs, medium bobs and long bobs to take your pick from. Then there is the angled bob, the asymmetrical bob, the curly bob, the wavy bob and the boy bob for more options. They are a hairstyle that’s been trending for a while now and if you are jonessing for one now, it’s the right time, we say!
Flirtatious bob
HOW TO STYLE: Such styles have a very feather light feel to them, so you don’t need too much product or simply use light formulas. Comb your hair properly and blow dry your hair upside down using a paddle brush to add volume. Dry your hair fully and brush it into place. Use a curling iron to coil the hair to give the ripple effect. This look complements angular and strong jawlined faces. Thin or finely textured hair suits this style while thicker hair would simply look fuller. Curly hair is a no-no for this particular bob.
Image courtesy ESTETICA
This flirtatious bob is all about the length of the bangs falling perfectly on the forehead and the length of the bob at mid-cheek. Deep bangs look great and light as they fall all over the forehead ending just above the eyebrows. This style is breezy and light with the layers blended well enough to grow out beautifully.

Waves to Bob This bob is ideal for those who have naturally wavy or curly hair. Slightly below the chin, it has layers to create movement to the style. A mildly off-centre parting will help maintain balance and is a perfect look for those who don’t want the bobwith-bangs predictable look.
Image courtesy ESTETICA
HOW TO STYLE: For those with naturally wavy hair or curls, comb your hair out, scrunch it up and diffuse. Blow dry it and be careful not to brush your hair too much. Take your curling iron and curl all your hair. Brush the waves out with your fingers and flick them out to create some fun. This look is ideal for most face shapes except pear-shaped faces. Those who have thick waves in their hair or fullblown out curls, go for this bob!

Bob’s sleek Thick bangs towards the eyes makes for this beautiful and trés chic hairstyle. The angles on the side of this bob are directed towards the face giving it a sharp and sleek look. HOW TO STYLE: Put all your hair forward into the bangs and detangle your hair. Blow dry the bangs down using a round brush so as to not create too much of volume or a bump. The bangs have to fall flat to look sleek. Dry the rest of your head and use an iron to flatten small pieces of flyways and you’ve got a very sleek bob. This style looks great on all face shapes. Thick hair though is must to get this style to look truly chic. Of course, the straighter your hair, the easier it is to get this look.

Foods of
love
An age-old belief states you are what you eat. Aphrodisiacs are not just chocolates, cream and strawberries; there is a host of foods out there that can get that sizzle in your relationship in no time. Vinod Rana breaks the spell

W
hile modern day theories suggest that there is no such thing as an aphrodisiac, ancient wisdom spins another tale. From time immemorial, we’ve had foods that have been hailed as the foods of love ergo aphrodisiacs. Some have suggestive shapes; some have a scintillating aroma while others have feel sensual when devoured. Then there are some that instantly provide a boost of energy and some that raise the body’s temperature. Through modern science, we’ve been able to ascertain that along with the ability to lessening inhibitions to attract the opposite sex; a lot of these foods are also energy sources important for maintaining hormone levels while working as neurotransmitters.
Basil Basil has an aroma that makes you want to fall in love all over again. It makes a meal smell and taste divine apart from benefitting the body. The aroma is stimulating and has the ability to send your heart racing. Now, we get why the Italians are so romantic!.
Oysters Oysters are considered to be the most popular aphrodisiacs across the board. They have a high zinc content that increases libido. The best way to have them is raw and served with a flute of chilled Champagne making it a supremely romantic repast.
Honey Sweet sweet honey. Yes, honey is a superb source of boron, a mineral that aids the body in using and metabolizing estrogen. The same mineral also boosts testosterone levels in the blood. Additionally honey has Vitamin B as well as enzymes, nutrients and phytochemicals . Asparagus
The asparagus has been placed amongst the top few on the list. Nicholas Culpepper, a 17th century herbalist from England wrote of the asparagus as the food that stirs up lust in man and woman. Bridegrooms were given three courses of these at their prenuptial meals. Asparagus is also a vital source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, thiamin and folic acid.
Bananas Another suggestive fruit and also full of potassium, magnesium and Vitamin B, the banana is a renowned aphrodisiac. It has chelating minerals and the bromeliad enzyme that improves the male libido.

Chocolate The monarch of aphrodisiacs, this one! Chocolate contains an array of compounds; one of them is called the love chemical, that induces dopamine in the pleasure epicenters of our brain. PEA or the love chemical injects emotions such as euphoria, attraction and excitement while cacao contains tryptophan, a vital element of the neurotransmitter serotonin meant to provoke a feeling of happiness and relaxation. Garlic Yes, we all know you are rolling your eyeballs back but aside from being smelly, these charming little pods are strong. Garlic is full of allicin, a component that augments blood flow. So keep those garlicky pastes handy and stock up on the mouthfresheners! Avocado Some foods are suggestive in shape and avocado is one of them. The Aztecs called it ahuacuatl, or the ‘testicle tree’. The Catholics priests in Spain deemed the fruit to be too offensive looking so they forbade it. All of this being said, avocado is a great booster of immunity and has high doses of folic acid, vitamin B6 and potassium.

Almonds Through the ages, almonds have represented fertility. The smell is known to induce passion in women or so was the thinking of writers and poets back in the day. Scientists have also affirmed that almonds contain huge quantities of Vitamin E, fibre and magnesium. The almond myth holds true!
Figs The fig has been known as an arousing stimulant for ages. Figs go way back in history as one of the ancient fruits to be recorded. They find mention in the Bible - Adam and Eve covered their body parts with fig leaves. What’s more, they were also Cleopatra’s favorite fruit and the ancient Greeks thought of them as sacred and held them as symbols of love and fertility.

Winter-proof
workouts Hibernating isn’t really going to help you shed those calories and the festive season adds to your woes. Vinod Rana puts together quick 15-minute exercise regimes for a fitter body
I
t takes all but 15 minutes every day to get that gorgeous and graceful body. Whether you are bikini-bound for a tropical getaway or you simply want to look fab in that chic dress, try these winter workouts to stay fit.
Arm and chest sculptor
(for arms, chest, shoulders, butt, abs)
Get into push-up position with knees down; place hands, turned slightly inward, under shoulders (elbows pointing backward, not out). Engage core, and bend elbows (as shown) to lower body toward floor; push back up. Do 20 repeats. Trainer tip: Keep body in a straight line from head to knees.
Thigh streamliner (for quads)
With feet hip-width apart, stand next to a sturdy chair or railing; put one hand on it for support. Lift up onto balls of feet, as if wearing high heels; bend knees so body lowers a third of the way down (as shown). Bend them a little more to lower another inch, then come back up an inch; that’s 1 repeat. Do 40 repeats. Trainer tip: Keep back vertical and butt muscles relaxed.
COLOUR COORDINATES Your gym clothes need not be boring anymore. Team bright neons with pastels. Pick a catchy colour like purple or red and throw in white to get into the sporty mood.

HOW TO WEAR IT
(for oblique’s, butt)
Sit with knees bent to 90 degree (right knee in front, left knee to side with left toes pointing back). Place right hand on the floor and left hand on left hip. Bend slightly forward at waist, lifting chest. Lift left leg an inch off the floor; lower it. Do 20 repeats, then press left leg an inch backward and forward for 20 more repeats. Switch sides; repeat sequence. Trainer tip: Keep hips still throughout.
Choose a winter sport The best way to work out in this weather is to choose a sport which is popular during this time. There are so many games that you can play, the popular ones being skiing or the more homely, badminton and cricket.

Bun lifter
Seasonal gear is important As the season changes, we all tend to alter our wardrobe. You must do the same for your workout as well. Having appropriate workout gear that looks good on you and keeps you warm is a must. Not only will it keep you healthy but also inspire you to exercise more during this season.
(for butt, hamstrings)
Stand facing a chair back or railing; grasp with both hands. Make a V with feet so heels are together, toes pointing out. Soften knees, tighten butt muscles, hinge slightly forward at waist. Lift left leg behind you with knee bent to 90 degree. Push left leg in toward right leg 20 times, then back 20 times. Switch legs; repeat sequence. Trainer tip: Movements should be tiny, less than an inch in each direction.
#5
#9
AB flattener
Recline with your upper body propped on your elbows, knees bent and feet hip-width apart on a mat. Press your lower back into the mat as you lift your right leg and bend the knee to 90 degree. Bring arms forward, elbows out to the sides, and cup hands over your bent right knee; then extend your left leg so it’s straight and hovering slightly off the floor. Gently tap your knee with your palms 30 times, exhaling sharply with each tap. Return to starting position, switch sides, and repeat. Trainer tip: Keep your ab and butt muscles tightened throughout the move.

Warm-up is crucial Experts advise that a proper warm-up is crucial before you start exercising. Cold temperatures can make your muscles taut and therefore more prone to injuries. Warming up your body prepares itself for exercise both physically as well as mentally. Warm-ups concentrate on the muscles and allow them to stretch. Opt for indoor exercises The best way to stay encouraged to work out during the winter is by choosing to do so indoors. Usually when it’s foggy in the morning, going for a walk seems out of the question. Thus compensate your hour-long walk with a 45-minute of free hand exercises or an hour extra at the gym. This way you won’t end up feeling guilty or wasted.

JAPAN
The land of the rising sun. The mecca of fashion. Japan has catapulted into one of the oft-visited destinations on any savvy traveller’s list. The past few years has seen several magnificent attractions spring up, hip trends and economic changes and that heady combination has turned Japan into an enticing stop for travelers.

apan is a must-visit for any traveler worth his or her salt. A country that takes technology, fashion and food to newer levels, Japan cannot be too far down your list of places to see. Plan your next holiday there and indulge in all things Japanese.
Surreal Japan
If you’ve heard of sushi, sipped sake and read manga, then you know a little bit about this country that comprises 6800 volcanic islands. It’s like you’ve come to a place outside of the world as you know it. Ancient gods, exquisite craftsmanship, revered customs are juxtaposed with cutting-edge technology, futuristic fashion trends and a modernity that no other country possesses. One minute you’re in high-speed train that’s whisking you from one corner of the country to another while the next you spot a farmer working hard in his fields. You are shopping in a fashionable boutique one day, the next you are rejuvenating in an outdoor hot-spring pool watching cherries blossom or snowfall, either is possible.

and beliefs. While the culture is increasingly turning to the futuristic, old customs and rituals are still rooted in religion or history as well as widely practiced to date. One can experience genuine Japanese heritage without having to dish out a lot of moolah. A visit to a temple, shrine or a castle would lend a glorious insight into the myriad history of this country and how society has developed in Japan. Also, the festivals that are held around the year make their mark on several aspects of tradition and culture, both of which are held highly in Japanese culture. If one is interested in Asian heritage and history, you needn’t look further than Japan.
Cuisine cues
One of the major attractions of traveling throughout Japan is trying different local cuisines in every town you visit. While sushi is in fact a large part of Japanese heritage, myriad flavors from all around the world have contributed to Japan’s robust foodie culture, attracting more and more culinary figures worldwide to try the new eastern hot spot. It should therefore come as no surprise that Tokyo is ranked the number one food city by Food and Wine magazine, not to mention the fact that Tokyo has more stars in the prestigious Michelin Guidebook than
any other city in the world. From noodles to sashimi to gourmet French cuisine, Japan has the food to satisfy the most discerning of palettes, as well as the strictest of budgets.
Adventures galore
Snowboarding? Snorkeling? Hiking? Whatever is your favoured outdoor activity, Japan has it and more. Go up the slopes of Nagano, which was where the 1998 Winter Olympics were held. Take a dip in the

gorgeous oceans and relax in the beautiful shores of the beaches in Okinawa. For those of you fancy some surfing, catch top waves just an hour away from Tokyo and take trip underwater to get a dekko at the ruins of Ryukyu Archipelago buried deep inside. For all of you sporty travelers, Japan’s the place that will truly get the adrenalin pumping.
Art love
The vibrant tiered pagodas to the ultra modern glass buildings, the colour and beauty of the prints to the ongoing crazy social commentary, the modern art and architecture of this country has a very characteristic full-bodied style. Nature has always played centrestage for the Japanese artists from time immemorial and it is an aesthetic that is palpable in their art today also. Case in point, the ACROS building in Fukuoka is a great example. Their preserved and esteemed heritage as well as their futuristic bent of mind is clearly visible to travelers in their design and architecture. You’ll find some of the world’s most renowned artists showcasing their talent throughout the country.

The fashion surpasses any other country in the world. Even the top designers of the fashion world look to the streets of Japan for inspiration and ideas. The pop culture too is one of their biggest exports. The quirky and eccentric sense of style along with Japanese entertainment has the world eating out of their hands. Anime, video games, the latest gadgets and gizmos, Japan is truly the cornerstone of some of the world’s most loved hobbies.

World’s most
beautiful woman Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a name that has become almost synonymous to beauty. Ever since she was crowned Miss World in 1994, there has been no looking back. Having been a successful model and actress, she is also a mother now but looks as ravishing as ever. Sayanti Banerjee takes notes as this diva shares a few secrets about what keeps her beautiful and on top of the world!
E
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan enjoys motherhood, it being the best role she has been handed so far.
I love eye makeup and for Indian women, nothing works better than kajal. It works anytime of the day.
ven after two decades of being crowded as the world’s most beautiful woman, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has not lost her charm. She did get rave reviews about the post baby fat, but this diva is back in shape and how. Juggling work and play time with her baby now seems easy so she is planning to get back on celluloid soon but not disclosing by when. Till then her fans can get a few glimpses of her from the various endorsements she is a part of.
blessed about and there has been no effort from my end. I however do believe in a healthy lifestyle so I try to do my bit like following a good diet, exercise regime and sleep on time as much as possible.
What is the one beauty product that you cannot do without? I love eye make-up and for Indian women nothing works better than kajal. So apart from movies or appearances at social events, I would always put on some kajal before stepping out of home. In fact, it works anytime of the day and for a party one can always play up with eye shadow and more.
Since little girls love make up, does Aradhya reach out for any of your make-up tools? Not yet, thankfully. She is too young for make-up now.
What is your beauty secret? Honestly, I don’t have any. I really need to thank God and my parents for the amazing genes that I was born with. My physicality or the way I look is something that I feel
68
jan-feb 14
Who do you consider the most beautiful woman in the world? My mother Brinda Rai of course and now that I have a 2 year old daughter; I have to say Aradhya too.
There is a rage in the beauty industry about anti-aging products and treatments. What are your views about the same? Thankfully I did not need to indulge in any of them yet and would not really want to opt for anti-aging solutions. I prefer to age gracefully but to each their own, so I cannot comment on what any other person should or should not do in their lives.
