VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW RUNWAY

The models put on another show-stopping performance as they graced the catwalk at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the lingerie giant's annual extravaganza. Forbes has estimated that the 47 models hitting the catwalk that night belong to a category that made more than $50 million in combined paychecks in 2015. The 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show saw the world’s most beautiful models take to the runway in New York in a blaze of bright colours, racy outﬁts, elaborate wings and other fabulous props. Behati Prinsloo, Adam Levine’s other half, opened the show dressed in a pair of dazzling wings, while VS veteran Alessandra Ambrosio followed close behind in an equally show-stopping outﬁt. Kendall Jenner was a total natural as she made her show debut. With her never ending legs on display as well as her trim tummy in a variety lace lingerie looks, the reality star looked simply stunning. South African beauty Candice Swanepoel also dazzled in a colourful embellished bikini set and giant multicoloured wings. While Candice's fellow veteran Angel Lily Aldridge, who was chosen to wear the $2 million Fantasy Bra this year, sent temperatures soaring in an equally skimpy bright red two piece. Ellie Goulding, who replaced Rihanna at the last minute, with the Weekend and Selena Gomez all took to the stage to sing as the models sashayed past them.

Prevention against colds and what people state is ‘blues’. Well there are certainly blues for the hair as well. Yes, folks today’s agenda is the hair care during winters. The bathing routine in winters requires the consumption of hot water. This hot water on one side provides the body with relaxations yet it damages our hair brutally. The usage of hot water baths squint and quench away the moisture out of the hair, leaving them dry and extremely fizzy. These fizz later results into extensive tangles that disturb the momentum of the hair beauty! Not only this, hot water baths are the main source of dandruff during the winters.

KYLIE JENNER'S STYLE HACKS TO REFRESH YOUR

WARDROBE There is no doubt that Kylie Jenner may be one of the most fashionable teenagers out there. She may be the youngest of the Kardashian family, but her wardrobe is more enviable than all of her older sisters! If you are religiously scroll through her Instagram and keep up with her Snapchat stories, there is no doubt that you would want to copy her style. Or if you just want to infuse a little Kylie with your otherwise bland closet, try these hacks ensuring you will dress to impress, as well as mirror Jenner's fashionable outďŹ ts. You don't even need to be a Kardashian to dress similarly, as the younger sister of gorgeous and successful model Kendall Jenner mixes edgy street style with chic elements in a way that feels totally accessible and aďŹ&#x20AC;ordable - to us normal citizens.

Wear Black. Yes, it sounds too simple. But it does work. Kylie is often seen wearing black, whether it is a casual LA sighting, or a more glamorous gown for an awards show, do not underestimate the power of this seemingly simple colour. It's ﬂattering, slimming, looks good with everything,

and

incredibly

versatile. No wonder not only Kylie, but her stylish older sisters are frequently seen in this hue too. Black outﬁts work day and night, whatever the occasion, so be sure to collect timeless black pieces. Ideas to start you oﬀ could be a tailored blazer, a peacoat, a dress, jeans and even a stylish blouse.

When choosing a floral sarong or dress covered with flowers, that pattern is the focal point of the outfit. It can easily stand alone. Therefore, don't try to compete with it or overwhelm it with other busy prints. Instead, choose complementary accessories that enhance it.

Lace-up Boots. Want to update your tame black or suede ankle boots? Follow Kylie and try thigh-high lace up boots. They may scare you as they seem like a bit too much, but they can easily dress up a little black dress or a crop top and shorts combo. Be prepared to be the centre of attention, as these boots are attractive. Try wearing these with a gown with a thighhigh split to infuse Hollywood glamour with grunge. Or opt for ankle-length lace up boots with ripped skinnies and a white shirt. But if they are good for Kylie Jenner, then they are deďŹ nitely good for you too!

Statement Pieces. If you follow Kylie on Instagram, then you probably understand. It could be a gorgeous Hermes handbag or a Balmain sequinned blazer, but any statement item is guaranteed to make a boring look turn amazing. Going to a formal dinner but its too cold to wear your strappy black dress? A sequinned or embroidered blazer thrown on top will instantly add glamour and make you stand out. The same would look great paired with a simple oďŹ&#x192;ce suit, taking the look from day to night. Happy with your outďŹ t but looks too grey and dull? A rose gold or white and gold handbag or clutch will surely give the "fashion blogger" look, as well as making others jealous of your new attractive arm candy. Even a leather jacket can be a great investment, as it gives a "biker-chic" look to your getup. Plus, Kylie loves them.

Jeans. Another simple tip, and one which you might

BEST BEARD STYLES FOR TEENAGERS Teenagers are fascinated by having beards. It is the dream of every teen ager boy to get the best look out of a beard. They ﬁnd beards to be one of the most presentable forms of appearance. For a fact that they are growing up and want to show the ‘Man’ inside them hence here is to the various looks they can have in beards. Let’s have a look around and see what styles we have to oﬀer them as suggestions.

1. Medium hair and beard. Oh yes, nothing looks better than this look. It is one of the promising and sincere manly looks that the teenagers urge to have. This look may have the essence of a medium length hair cut, more suited on the silky yet wavy hair. This combination works like magic on the appearance.

2. Long hair and beard. Well, this look here works well with all the hair types. Be it straight, wavy or curly. The trick is to chop the hair in manly layers and let the beard grow. This is a pleasant beard look for the teenagers, those who aim to become the man

3. The subtle stubble look! Well, this is the kind of look that rocks on every teenager. It describes their transition through childhood to manhood. This includes a decent boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haircut, the classic cuts along with letting traces of prickelish beard. Thus it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t portray as a complete man yet gives them the appearance they want to lead with!

4. Oh well another go go taker look is the squarish look. This comes with a square type beard cut and similar essence in the haircut. This look is another try on for the teenagers beard looks. This might be new, but this is fun. Yet it makes the person stand out. Risk and exposure to fashion are a big combination. Why not try them?

7. Get that relaxed and rejunivated look by gelling/ slicking your hair in a back brushed look while growing a thick mane beard at the frontal look. Yes, that’s another manly look for the teenager boys to target!

8. The biker boy’s look. Oh well, who doesn’t die for that look. With the best brushed waves of the haircut and the rugged yet thin moustache look on the face. That’s the kind of beard look teenager boys crave at having.

5. For a teenage beard look, it is a suggestion for the boys to keep their beards to the jawline, keep a light moustache and let their hair grow long. Well, yes there boys we are calling out for that Korean look. It surely runs good on those Asian features of yours. Well, that’s a good fair style to hang on to.

6. Elite Guy’s Style is another look to make you stand out. The purpose here is to let your beard grow near to your jawline, but it should be thick enough. You should shave it as it approaches your cheeks. While keeping your hair in long ﬂip from the front. Now that’s the elite boy’s style you are craving for in the teenage boys beard looks.

Luxury Living

WORLD MOST EXPENSIVE SWIMMING POOLS Isn’t a pool just a giant tub of chlorinated water? How the hell do they get so expensive, then? Marble, water slides, mosaic tiles, and other awe-inspiring elements – that’s how. While researching the most expensive pools built throughout the world, some sources agreed and others had diﬀerent ideas about which pools are the most expensive. Such a thing seems strange to argue over; either a pool costs $10 million or it doesn’t. I guess, though, that some sources might take inﬂation into consideration or others might convert currencies more liberally. Whether this list is factual or as potentially untrustworthy as the ones I sifted through, a sparkling line-up of incredibly expensive and luxurious pools is what this is about, and we delivered.

Hearst Castle, USA

It already sounds perfectly stunning and regal. “Where do you take the kids to swim?” “Oh, we live at the Hearst Castle, so we just swim in that $10 million pool we have lying around in the backyard.”

But really, this pool – or pools, I suppose, as the Hearst Castle actually boasts 2 pools – was built around 1924 to the tune of $10 million. In case you were wondering, that’s a sweet sounding tune. We’re not sure whether that’s $10 million in 1924 or $10 million our time, but we’re hoping the latter, because the former undermines everything we’ve ever dreamed the 20s looked like. Can we call a castle a “crib”? The elegant pool, built with marble and mosaic tiles, is privately owned by Mr. William Randolph Hearst, and apparently this is his castle. Move over, MTV. By the way, this fancy pool in California is the ﬁrst and last time we see the USA on the list. It seems America’s unique craft for engineering all things absurdly lavish is – wait for it – sinking. Ah, see what I did there?

Lev Leviev Residence, United Kingdom This pool is equally as expensive and just as private as the last masterpiece. Situated in London, the pool is owned by an “Israeli businessman” who — one should assume — goes by the name Lev Leviev. The pool to accompany the city of gold? It’s easy to understand how the pool racked up such a high price tag when I tell you that it was constructed with mosaic tiles and gold. Yes, gold. I think I’ve read similar descriptions in the Bible, making this pool the most heavenly on our list! Also heavenly (or at least that’s what I hear) are the spa and steam bath associated with the giant pool. The Lev Leviev probably didn’t need anything more to make it the perfect venue for relaxation, but that mysterious businessman is apparently a bit of a spendthrift. Oh, did the $10 million pool give that away?

SeaGaia Ocean Dome, Japan This $2 billion structure makes a mockery of those measly $10 million pools we just ooed and awed over. Oh well, onto bigger and better things! Speaking of big things, the Ocean Dome is the largest indoor pool in the world, coming in at a whopping 328,000 square feet. Don’t quote me on that number; I did the math myself. You get the idea – unbelievably massive indoor pool. The only stereotypical surfer joke I’ll make all day… The pool boasts a gnarly artificial wave pool, and I say gnarly only because surfers take to these artificial waves like they’re the real things. Also included are mock volcanoes. In case the fear of being trapped in the undercurrent of the wave pool wasn’t enough, you can focus on the sound of artificial volcanic eruptions. The giant Ocean Dome is also equipped with a water slide area. This pool (if you can call it that) is perfect for every water lover. Surfers, waterpark enthusiasts,

swimmers, and volcano fans can all gather here in unrivaled merriment.

San Alfonso, Chile

Another $2 billion pool, the San Alfonso sees the Ocean Dome’s “largest indoor

pool” and raises it a 2008 Guinness World Record. Well played, Chile. The giant swimming pool took about 5 years to build, and with good reason; it’s about 20 acres in size. You thought maintaining a 20-acre yard was exhausting - how about the pool maintenance for this beast? I suppose the real question is: how do they fill that enormous swimming pool? With filtered sea water, which makes sense, since the ocean is the only source of water large enough to fill such a pool. Maybe the water we see on Earth from space is San Alfonso rather than the sea… Did I mention the pool gets up to 11 feet deep? It almost seems masochistic how difficult they’ve made filling this thing. I bet the maintenance crew cringes every time some over enthusiastic swimmer launches a cannonball into the water, quivering as that precious water splashes out of the enormous pool.

1. City of Stars, Egypt

The most expensive pool in the world is the City of Stars, situated in Sharm el Sheikh. Fun fact: the enormous lagoon-esque pool structure is made by Crystal Lagoons, which also has its signature on the our last pool, the San Alfonso in Chile. Along with the largest, 21-acre lagoon, there are 11 other lagoons staggered throughout this tourist attraction. Of course this project rang up a bill of about $5.5 billion, which is arguably more than most of our dates cost (though it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear that way at the mall, does it?).

Constructed in 2009, the City of Stars easily surpassed all of the pools previously hailed as the most expensive. Crystal Lagoons is a group to keep an eye on. They have a seemingly continuous outﬂow of major, awe-inspiring projects,

including

lavish

golf

courses and water parks. Should you ever have the burning desire to swim in an incredibly

large,

lavish,

expensive pool or manmade Crystal Lagoons, you clever pool experts. Just like the San Alfonso, and probably because it’s pioneered by the same team, the water to fill the lagoons is pulled from the sea and filtered through technology that was specially created by Crystal Lagoons. If you research expensive pools, you might not find this behemoth on the list, because it’s relatively new compared to several others usually named.

beach (and you should), you’ve got enough material here to work with. While I’ve never visited the City of Stars or heard the crack of Seagaia’s artiﬁcial volcanoes, I’m conﬁdent none of these sites would disappoint you or your wanderlust.

10 Spectacular Islands of The World Holidaying in some far ďŹ&#x201A;ung island is probably the best way to destress. Nothing beats the idea of relaxing in a remote land ďŹ&#x201A;oating amid endlessly stretching water. Islands provide the perfect outing destination whether be it a romantic getaway, or a relaxing sojourn. Even the kids seem to enjoy the tropical islands with unending sun and sand. Here is a list of the top 10 spectacular islands of the world!

Falkland Island In South-West Atlantic Ocean 300 miles east of Patagonian coast lies the disputed territory of the Falkland Island or Islas Malvinas. Currently a British land which the Argentines are trying to get control over, the political troubles cannot underestimate

the

island’s natural beauty which is most popular for its penguins.

10.

Falkland Island gives you the best opportunity of watching penguins without risking an Antarctic voyage.

Majuli Island, India If islands on the seas and oceans are too mainstream for you then give this oﬀbeat island peeping out of river Brahmaputra a try. Majuli is the largest river island in the world. Tucked away in the

North-Eastern

fringes of India, Majuli is mostly

inhabited

people undisturbed by ‘modernity’. It can oﬀer some rare

sneak-peek

into the life of the tropical tribes. With greenery galore Majuli is also famous as a bird watching spot!

8. Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique Felicitated by the title “Pearl of The Indian Ocean” Bazaruto archipelago rightly earned this honour. One of Africa’s virgin beauties, the island ﬂaunts it all. The white sand, the inﬁnite blue and the option of delving into luxury all are abundantly available here. What sets this island apart is its rich population of fauna. Whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, turtles to name a few are permanent residents of the water around the island.

Capri, Italy Go to visit Capri once and there is a heavy chance you may never want to leave. This is that dream place in our imagination which has an unsustainable perfection about it. Its legendary beauty grasped the kings, artists, popular personalities and the common man alike. History, art and culture form the heart and soul of Capri. It is a magniﬁcent island with exotic villas and mysterious caves which open and close with the tides.

6. Bali, Indonesia When the small Hindu population of Indonesia thought of nestling somewhere, they chose Bali. In Bali, Hinduism is much more than just a religion, it is a lifestyle, a disposition which is hard to ignore. Warm locals eﬃcient in skilled craftsmanship can teach you lots of new things. Get enthralled by interesting temples and out of the world mythological tales. Experience the unique essence of the Balinese people and make a memory to be treasured for life.

Galapagos – The Spectacular Islands

Obviously, this island does not need any introduction. The contribution of Galapagos in framing up of Darwin’s –“The Theory Of Natural Selection” is known by all. If the travel bloggers’ and videographers’ records’ are to be believed then people who set foot here cry while leaving the island. It is very easy to fall in love with the unique animals found nowhere else in the world. Watching a hundred thousand varieties of living beings existing peacefully without human disturbances in the ‘moonland’ type volcanic geography is once in a lifetime experience.

4. Bora Bora Island, Tahiti Seclusion, luxury, nature and the horizon-less blue describes Bora Bora. It is the leading destination of the French Polynesian cluster of island in South Pacific Ocean. If ‘blue’ is a word carelessly used by you to express stress then a visit to this island will change that perspective of your’s forever. Turquoise is the colour which rules here with towering rainforests and iconic ‘floating’ bunglows. Though considered a honeymooners’ hotspot Bora Bora also offers a whole array of water sports like snorkelling and scuba diving.

Santorini, Greece

How can a list of spectacular Islands be complete without Santorini! Santorini is actually an active volcano perched in the sea. With amazing architecture and velvety wine it makes for aromantic holiday destination. The orange and golden rays of the setting sun kissing the snow coloured houses hanging from the cliﬀs in an uncannily ﬁne-tuned rhythm is like a poem by nature. A traveler cannot help but wonder what it would be like to live here forever!

Maui, Hawaii, USA When the small Hindu population of Indonesia thought of nestling somewhere, they chose Bali. In Bali, Hindu-

ism is much more than just a religion, it is a lifestyle, a disposition which is hard to ignore. Warm locals eďŹ&#x192;cient in skilled craftsmanship can teach you lots of new things. Get enthralled by interesting temples and out of the world mythological tales. Experience the unique essence of the Balinese people and make a memory to be treasured for life.

Seychelles It is perfectly understandable if you visit Seychelles and refuse to return ever! Captivating pristine white sand beaches and trickling azure water will stupefy you for days. The feel of the soft sands here is something unique which is found in no other part of the world. Ecotourism is in vogue and there is endless option for those who want to splurge. Environmental restrictions are very strictly followed in this tiny island country and its rich biodiversity is responsibly preserved.

What is the biggest challenge about being a jewellery designer? Hmmm,â&#x20AC;Ś well nothing but the ignorance of the customer who has worth to pay for an exclusive product but these days people buy whatever they like and especially the artiďŹ cial jewelry is inn to attract every class. Yet I believe in design and creativity that attracts the client at any cost and I think that would be a new trend to make a good market in the next few years. Strong aesthetics always appeal good strength.

ANGELINA JOLIE WANTS MORE Hollywood actress-director Angelina Jolie says she would be a stayat-home mother if she wasn’t an actress. The “Unbroken” director – who has childrenMaddox, 14, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and seven-year-old twinsKnox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt – would love to spend more time with her six kids if she wasn’t so busy in front and behind the camera, reported Entertainment Tonight. “I think I’d just be home being a mom more. I love being a mommy. I love my kids so I’d just stay home.” Meanwhile, the 40-year-old actress previously revealed her children think she is a bit “weird”. “They think I’m weird. Well, alright, they might. Maddox talks to me sometimes about writing as if he doesn’t think I’m terrible at it and Vivienne is just happy I’m a tiger in a panda movie. But, ah, she’s just a little one – she’s all sweet. “I mean, there are moments when I can be cool, but they like to mess with me. They like to make fun of me. I’m just little mommy.”
