2015 Fall RTW Collection There was a spare and modern — yet glamorous — feel to Osman Yousefzada’s fall collection, worked in a palette restricted to red, white and black, but fashioned in rich, contrasting textures. “I just wanted to do a tight collection that allows the silhouettes to really shine,” the designer said. His shapes ran from structured to cocooning to fluid. One coat dress with a stiff skirt was done in a glittery red, marble-patterned brocade, while a sporty black zippered jacket was paneled in plasticized, quilted velvet. The most appealing looks were those at the more languid end of the spectrum — a bias cut, deep red silk skirt paired with a matching knit sweater, or a halter neck jumpsuit with a glittery black bodice and elegant draped pants.

a fantastic way to achieve and maintain the body you want. •Scientific research has been showing links between weight loss and yoga. •More vigorous styles of yoga include Ashtanga and Bikram.

Lose Your Weight With Simple Yoga Poses

Most people imagine that yoga is something gentle and mindful, not a form of exercise that will help shed excess pounds. But it’s also a fantastic way to get, and keep, the body you want. There’s not just the anecdotal evidence of many yoga devotees who say it helps them stay trim and toned. Scientific research is increasingly backing up the link between yoga and weight loss.

Researchers in one U.S. study, for example, followed more than 15,000 healthy men and women aged between 53 and 57. Those who started out overweight but did at least one session of yoga a week lost about 5lb over ten years, while those who didn’t gained almost a stone. In another study, a group of heart patients with narrowed coronary arteries were put on a low-fat vegetarian diet and told to practise yoga regularly.

They recorded almost 24lb of weight loss over the first year, and five years later had maintained more than half of that original loss, as well as reversing the heart disease. The American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, which recently reviewed several studies of yoga and weight loss, also concluded that yoga is a successful slimming tool, not only burning calories and enabling people to improve their performance in other sports, but making them more mindful of their bodies, which in turn may lead them to eat better. All this week, in a brilliant new series, the Mail is focusing on yoga and its many benefits for old and young, fit and unfit.

So how can it help you to lose weight?

This classic flowing sequence of postures is at the heart of modern Yoga Pose and can be a complete practice in itself or a preparation for a longer routine. Traditionally performed in the morning to greet the new day, it forms the backbone of most types of yoga and employs various forward and backward bending poses that flex the spinal column, giving a profound, energising stretch to the whole body. Because it is an energetic sequence that tones every muscle group in the body, it’s great for burning calories, building strength and stamina, improving circulation and detoxifying your internal organs through enhanced oxygenation.

For a start, there are several styles of yoga that are highly vigorous. If you want to join a class specifically with the aim of burning calories, look for Ashtanga yoga classes — a series of fast-paced postures — or Bikram yoga, a sequence of 26 postures performed in a room heated to around 40c (104f). As a bonus, many people I know who do yoga find themselves craving fruit, vegetables and grains, rather than hamburgers and chips. All that stretching, bending and focusing on the body seems to kill the appetite, leaving a desire to eat healthily. In other words, this is a full body workout like no other, which explains As someone whose first waking thought is often its popularity. I would recommend ‘What’s for lunch?’ I can testify that if I do my yoga doing this sequence at least five times practice in the morning, lunch no longer seems quite a day if weight is an issue. But even so urgent. Yoga can give you the skills you need to if you only do two sequences a day, maintain weight loss. Make it a regular fixture in your you’re doing your figure a massive falife, persist with the breathing exercises and postures, vour. There are small variations in the and you will be less depressed, less stressed and more way yogis do this sequence, but the aware of the reasons you may be overeating, which in most important thing is the synchroturn will enable you to break unhealthy habits.

Finally, with the movement of your body. practising yoga will do something even more import- Basically, all upward movements are ant — it will help improve your self-image and make coupled with inhalation, and downyou happier. ward movements with exhalation.

It has a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating effect.

MOUNTAIN POSE:

Start in Mountain pose: stand up tall, feet together or a little apart, arms at your sides. Place your palms together in a prayer position, roll your shoulders back and down and lift your chest.

INHALE:

Inhale through your nose and extend your arms above and behind your head.

FORWARD BEND:

Inhale, step forward one foot and then the other between the hands, looking ahead. Then exhale into a forward bend.

SWAN DIVE:

Swan dive into a standing forward bend, exhaling through your nose and placing your hands on your legs as close to your feet as you can. Bend your knees a little if your hamstrings are tight, to protect your back.

STANDING POSE: HALF STANDING FORWARD BEND:

Lower arms into original standing pose.

Inhale and lengthen your spine forward into a Half Standing Forward Bend, with your fingertips on the floor and gaze focused ahead.

PLANK POSE:

Exhale and step, or lightly hop, your feet behind you to get into a Plank pose, arms straight underneath your shoulders and legs straight behind you. Your back should be flat and your core engaged. Hold for a second, then, in a snake-like movement, lower yourself towards the floor. Then lower your chest and chin to the floor, keeping your elbows close to the sides of your ribcage, and flatten your feet to the floor.

COBRA POSE:

Inhale as you push down with your arms and raise your head, shoulders and upper body as far as you can without straining. This is the Cobra pose. Look upwards, roll shoulders back and down and keep elbows in. Firm up your kneecaps and thighs to prevent them lifting off the mat.

DOWNWARD FACING DOG:

Exhale into Downward Facing Dog; walk hands forward and slightly farther apart than shoulder width, and spread fingers wide for stability. Then curl toes under and press your hips upwards so your body is in the shape of a triangle, with your bottom as the apex. Make sure your neck and shoulders are released and relaxed. If your hamstrings are tight, keep your knees slightly bent. Take five deep breaths.

Beauty Tricks Every Woman Should Know There is nothing more gratifying than finding a simpler yet effective DIY trick. Let the cliche “Beauty comes at a price” die a natural death with our awesome beauty hacks, and make your life simple. Looking beautiful has never been this easy. Ditch the gold digging salons, and convoluted makeup advice. We bring to you seven most easy home tips for a beautiful you. Here are a few tricks of the trade, every woman should know. If it’s your first time using a particular hair colour product, you need to conduct a 24 hour patch test in the same shade and proportion of mixture that will be used on your hair. Apply the patch test behind the ear or the inside fold of the elbow.

Allow the mixture to remain on the test area for 24 hours to determine if you develop an allergic skin reaction to the product.If you have oily skin and are prone to acne, be careful about what sunscreen you apply to your face.

Soak your tired feet in this bath for a few minutes. The mint will cool and relax your muscles, helping release the tension and relieve discomfort.

Use an oil-free brand that is non-comdogenic and dries soft to the touch, instead of feeling greasy and moist like other brands.Long lasting lipsticks can be tough to remove.

Make your brunette locks go from flat to fabulous with one of the most popular sweet treats around, chocolate. Mix a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa with a few dollops of shampoo in the palm of your hand.

When you’re in a bind and don’t have any make-up remover handy, head over to the kitchen! You can put some sweet almond oil on a cotton ball and say goodbye to that long lasting lipstick. Fill a foot basin with cold mint tea and ice cubes.

Before beginning your shampoo and conditioner routine, massage a quarter size dollop of coconut oil into your hair. Leave the oil in for ten minutes before returning to your shampoo and conditioner routine. The oil will leave your hair feeling noticeably softer.

Wash your hair with this mixture and rinse. The colour of your hair will look richer and you’ll smell good too! One of the best ways to get naturally pink lips is to regularly exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush. All you need to do is dampen a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently rub your lips using small circular motions. This sloughs off dead skin and stimulates blood flow to the lips, making them soft and pink.

Hacks That Will Change the Way

You Apply Makeup

Get Flawless Ombré Nail Art in one step: You could layer multiple layers of polish to get the perfect ombré manicure, but in reality that would take forever to dry (and consequently smudge)! Instead, apply your three gradient shades of nail polish to a makeup sponge then dab it on each nails, creating the gradient pattern. Manicurist Cinnamon Bowser used a similar technique backstage at ICB with Zoya shades Taylor, Adel, and Flynn creating a subtle French manicure effect.

Apply Cream Blush With Your Fingers:

Remember the ’80s when blush took over your entire cheek from lip to brow? Thank goodness trends are fleeting! Backstage at Misha Nonoo, Bobbi Brown makeup artist Marc Reagan taught us the more modern way to apply cream rouge — with your fingers. First smile and place product on the shelf of the cheek. Then, dab the color all the way back towards the hairline. Finally use a separate clean finger to blend it downwards. “[This technique] keeps the blush high on the cheek which is lifting, and it covers the right area of the cheek where you naturally flush,” he said.

Make Matte Last Longer:

A matte top coat seems cute in theory, but it can reveal every uneven brush stoke and nail ridge for the DIY manicurist. The solution: paint on a regular top coat first. OPI nail lead Miss Pop used a similar layering technique backstage at Marissa Webb to seal in the linear negative space nail art.

There are a lot of reasons to trek backstage at New York Fashion Week: the models, the celebrities, the nails, and the beautiful beauty looks. But perhaps the most appealing aspect is that we get access to the top-tier makeup, hair, and nail pros in the world. These experts fly in for one week only to make sure every model is done up to perfect. And us beauty reporters are by their side, recorders out, soaking in all of their knowledge. But we’re not greedy! So, here, we’ve rounded up all of the the genius tricks and tips we’ve overhead backstage at the New York Fashion Week Fall 2015 tents. Keep reading to learn everything from how turn your favorite shimmery lipstick into a velvety matte one to a savvy new way to create an ombre manicure.

Correct a Hair Oil Overload:

You just wanted to add a touch of shine to your blowout, but oil turned your style into a flat, greasy mess. First rub a towel through your strands, then apply a dry shampoo or dry texturizing spray like Redken Windblown to lift the roots again. If it’s really gone too far, use baby powder to soak up the oil slick. And a tip for next time: “When you’re using any product with shine in it or serum, spray it on your hands first,” Guido recommends. “I always recommend to use [product] slowly at first.”

Mattify Your Favorite Lipstick:

Problem: you love a certain lipstick shade, but wish it were matte. Backstage at Tibi, makeup artist Cassandra Garcia pressed Bobbi Brown Pink Martini lip shade on the pout, then dusted the mouth with Porcelain Pearl blush to create an original matte hue. As with any matte lip color, make sure to let the lips marinate in lip balm first to rectify any dryness. This trick will also transition your favorite bright Summer lip hue to a more velvety, Fall-appropriate finish.

Thin Out Pigmented Polish:

Your most saturated bold nail polish is so much more than a one-coat wonder! You can transform it into a sheer shade with a clear top coat — but avoid your superfast-drying standby. “Quick-dry formulas affect the pigment because it’s drying as you paint,”. Do it at home by pouring equal parts of lacquer and top coat into an empty nail polish bottle and mixing up your new formula. Then, test your blend on a piece of paper. If it’s still too pigmented, add more top coat.

Fake Seamless Fringe:

We’ve heard dozens of fringe horror stories, but you can take the look for a test run with this easy strategy using clip-in bangs. Yes, you can make faux fringe look authentic, and Tresemme hairstylist Jeanie Syfu showed us how backstage at Marissa Webb. First, create a deep center part. Then make a horizontal part about half an inch back from the hairline. Tease the hair at the scalp to create a grip for the clips. Next, pin back the two sections of hair on each side so you have a nice frame. Clip in the bangs, and trim them to your face. “Try to get human hair because it always looks better,” said Syfu. “If you do use synthetic try to knock out that plastic shine with dry shampoo. “

Create Perfectly Imperfect Texture:

Everyone wants the cool-girl, undone look of a windswept ponytail, but achieving it at home usually results in a style that’s more messed up than mussed. Bob Recine for Moroccanoil revealed his technique to perfect imperfection backstage at Monique Lhuillier. “After creating the ponytail, I loosely go over the front pieces with a brush, picking them up a little bit.” You should use a very light hand to do this as you are only trying to pull out small, wispy secttions, not large segments of hair. To make the look extra piece-y, apply a mousse to your fingertips, then gently tug at little groups of hair to create texture.

Play With Your Tools:

Precise, geometric nail art isn’t just for the accurate hands of a manicurist — all you need to do is upgrade your everyday striper brush with a quick modification. Jin Soon Choi suggests cutting the tip off the brush. Instead of the standard pointed tip (like a V-shape), hold your scissor perpendicular to the brush handle and snip the tip straight across to create a flat, squared-off edge.

Turn Eye Shadow Into Highlighter:

When you need to pack light, throw a creamy, shimmery neutral eye shadow in your bag. Here’s why: not only will it work as a your eye makeup color but it can become a gorgeous highlighter for your cheeks. “Everything is being mixed in a mad scientist kind of way,” Lottie says of how she combined the gold and silver hues. Make the eye shadow cream more sheer by blending into the side of your hand. Your finger has natural warmth to melt the formula. Then, use clean fingertips to press it into the tops of your cheekbones, and voila, you have glowing skin!

Get Flawlessly Groomed Brows:

These adorable toothbrushes in makeup artist Alice Lane’s kit aren’t for dental hygiene — they’re for eyebrows! In lieu of a pricy brow gel, copy Lane’s backstage trick at Suno, and spritz a child’s toothbrush with hairspray to use as your arch tamer. Not only does the finished result look more natural than a hard tinted gel, but the little brushes give your brows a tiny massage. Stimulating your arches promotes hair growth, getting you one step closer to looking like Cara Delevingne.

Celebrity Street Style

Fashion

Celebrities are almost always the first to sport the newest looks and trends in fashion and this is a good thing, I think, since a lot of us look up to celebs for style inspiration.

Though they always look super prim, proper and elegant on TV and in magazines, I think one of the things we really like to see on celebs is how they look when they’re off duty because these are the looks that we can easily copy. More often than not, your fave celebs are wearing something from some of the stores you shop in. If not, they’re most probably wearing their own line which, most of the time, is very accessible and affordable for everyone. Here are 8 celebs who have perfected the street style fashion for their everyday off duty looks. Taylor Swift – I just love how Taylor Swift embraces her youth and dresses up for her age off duty unlike other young celebs. Her style is preppy and chic and she never looks too ‘high maintenance’ when she’s off duty. Kendall Jenner – Kendall’s street style looks are always super cute. She has a way of sporting sexy pieces without looking like she’s trying too hard. Like Taylor Swift, Kendall’s street style fashion is also very appropriate for her age. Lauren Conrad – her style may lean more on the dainty, girly and rather fancy side but when Lauren Conrad does a street style look, you can count on her to do it real good. Her style, in general, is just something that’s super chic yet also very easy to recreate and I’m pretty sure a lot of women love that.

Jessica Alba – despite being a busy mom, celeb and businesswoman, Jessica Alba stays on top of her street style game by keeping up with the trends. Her style is very hip and chic but it’s not too juvenile for her either. If you ask me, Jessica Alba is one of Hollywood’s most stylish mommas. Miranda Kerr – of course she’s going to look fabulous all the time, she’s a model for Pete’s sake! There’s just something about Miranda’s off duty street style looks, though, that makes her so posh all the time, even when she’s just wearing distressed jeans and a plain shirt. Emma Watson – Emma embodies elegance, even with her street style looks. She may be young but she’s sure ahead of so many other celebs her age when it comes to fashion and style. Truly a style icon to look up to, this Harry Potter star is never to be seen looking sloppy or unkempt. Selena Gomez – despite all the bad rap she’s been getting lately because of the on and off affair with the Biebs, Selena Gomez remains to be one of Hollywood’s most stylish young stars. Her style is very easy and laidback and sometimes a little sexy, too. Olivia Palermo – Olivia Palermo is one of those celebs who always has fashion and style figured out. She’s never been seen with an outfit that was off or anything, proving that she’s mastered the street style look, and every other look for that matter, to perfection.

Ridhima Sud I Wanted to Become An Actress You might have previously seen her in one of the many commercials she’s featured in. But she’s now set to share screen space with the heavyweight cast of Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do (DDD). But Ridhima Sud didn’t quite waltz into the movie making business just like that. She helms from an affluent Punjabi family She studied in the well-known DPS RK Purin Delhi where modelling and acting weren’t am School in Delhi. “I was a nerd in my teen considered appropriate professions for girls. years,” she reveals.

Naturally, she was brought up It was also there that she first discovered her in an atmosphere heavy on academics. love for being on stage.

“I decided to attend the acting studio of the renowned Larry Moss in Los Angeles.” There she became actor/filmmaker Tobey Maguire’s (Spider-Man fame) class mate. “Soon, I was offered a role in the Ballad Of Rustom, which was shortlisted as a contender in the Best Film category for the Oscars. I also acted in the Dubai segment of The Owner, which made it to the Guinness Book Of World Records for being a film that was directed by 25 filmmakers.”Ridhima hit the jackpot when she was called to audition for a role in Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do. “Nandini Shrikent, the casting director, got in touch with me for Zoya Akhtar’s film. I was super excited. I knew she had worked with banners like Excel Entertainment and Dharma films,” she says adding, “Zoya personally took my audition. Soon, I was a part of Dil Dhadakne Do.” DDD has a stellar ensemble cast which includes .“I’d been dabbling with theatre since I was 13. But after college, I landed a plum 9 to 5 job at Wall Street.” But she was no wolf of the stock market. Six months into the pencil pushing job, she snapped. “I realised it was

not my thing. I didn’t belong there. I wanted to go out and discover my creative side. I wanted to become an actress.” After moving back to India, she started modelling for beauty brands like Ponds and Kaya Skin. She shot campaigns for Vodafone, Coca Cola, Titan and eBay. But she wanted to hone her skills further. I also acted in the Dubai segment of The Owner, which made it to the Guinness Book Of World Records for being a film that was directed by 25 filmmakers.”Ridhima hit the jackpot when she was called to audition for a role in Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do. “Nandini Shrikent, the casting director, got in touch with me for Zoya Akhtar’s film. I was super excited.

I knew she had worked with banners like Excel Entertainment and Dharma films,” she says adding, “Zoya personally took my audition. Soon, I was a part of Dil Dhadakne Do.” DDD has a stellar ensemble cast which includes Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Anil Kapoor and Shefali

Shah. She talks about Priyanka Chopra and the great rapport they developed. “We’re not the best of buddies, who can sit and watch Sex And The City and eat ice cream but Priyanka is someone I can reach out often too, especially if I need something. She was warm towards me.” Ridhima is positive that 2015 is going to be a big year. “I have three releases. It starts with DDD followed by the Indie film Kajarya, which deals with female infanticide and is directed by Madhureeta Anand. I’ve also signed a three-film deal with Shoojit Sircar and John Abraham’s Production Company. I’ve even shot a few scenes for a film with them.” We hope she comes home to the movies.

Obviously, Ridhima was worried about working with bigwigs. However, her worries faded off once she started shooting. “It felt amazing to work with all of them. They are warm and affable people and they reached out to me knowing I was a newcomer. They understood it would be overwhelming for someone like me who suddenly found herself on an outdoor shoot with so many stars.”

I also completed numerous other commercials coupled with my work in theatre which eventually led to my audition for a lead role in a Canadian feature film. In Pakistan, I had been performing and doing theater in Alhamra since my teens. My close friend Mashal Peerzada was the one who introduced me to the world of practical acting, which is not something which I had actively pursued on my own, but just kind of happened!

5. What are you working on cur- 6. What is it about showbiz that appeals to you rently? most? As a workaholic I usually find myself immersed in several different projects at the same time! At present, I am the host of Morning with Juggan on PTV Home, a platform which I have been associated with for a while now and which we have revamped with fresh content and a new outlook. I am also the local spokesperson for Garnier, an amazing hair-care and skincare brand with whom I’ve been associated with for the past 4 years. This is a brand that produces safe products made from natural ingredients, which I use myself and wholly support. I am currently a part of the brand’s campaign for their new Color Naturals product line which is very exciting. I am also in talks regarding a few movie roles, something which I’m looking towards getting back into a big way. Let’s see how it goes!

To be honest it’s not Showbiz that appeals to me but the art form of acting which has drawn me into this career. For me, acting and being in the limelight was a way for me to bring about change, to educate and to clear misperceptions about society, culture and our country. I’ve never been an overly glamorous person and therefore have never been truly fascinated by the dazzle and glamour of Showbiz. I’ve always been the girl next door person, who pursued her career for the passion of the craft rather than the glitz of the industry.

7. Don’t you feel it’s more about exposure today as opposed to acting talent meaning whoever is ready to expose will bag the lead role? It’s about both. If you’re not talented and you have not worked upon honing your craft, exposure won’t do you any good. You can have good marketing skills, public relations and know the right people, but you must have talent. Exposure does help, but if you don’t have talent and you don’t work on your craft you will not be good in the long term.

8. Would you readily take on bold roles if you feel it fits your character?

9. Previously there were no intimate scenes in television plays. Even holding of hands was forbidden. However, today there seem to be no limitations. Do you For me a bold role is feel what is being shown on TV today is one which challenges in accordance with our values and culme as an actor and ture?

10. How come you haven’t tried your hand at ramp modelling?

Ramp modeling has never really been my cup of tea. One of the as a person, which major reasons I stayed As a nation and culture, we have to realize is something which away from this vocathat romance, intimacy and human emotions I am always willing tion was that I was a exist and are a part of the very fabric which to do. As an actor, bit overweight early define us as humans. It goes without saying too often you are on in my career and that too much intimacy and exposure does typecast into playing more importantly; I portray the wrong message and can be disthe sultry romantic just didn’t have the tracting, but at the end of the day people do lead or playing the height for it.

Whatever is show in dramas is usually a is something which I their showcase, but reflection of real life and we should be careful would always want to my modeling career is not to confuse human nature with acting. actively pursue. pretty much limited.

11. Who is the real Juggan Kazim?

Good question! The real Juggan Kazim is someone who likes to keep to herself. I am a workaholic but I’m also more a homebody than many people realize. The glitz and glamour of my career is a separate part of my identity. Something else that not many people know about me is that I love cooking, especially for my family. Away from the world of media, I’m very much a girl next door who likes to spend time with her family.

12. Where do you see yourself ten years from now?

In 10 years, in addition to still being the host of my Morning Show I would have liked to have opened my own restaurant. I also have plans to get back into working in movies full time and hope to have worked in several major projects in 10 years’ time. I see myself as a successful entrepreneur and look forward to branching out into different areas.

13. If not an actor then what would it have been for you? I probably would have become a chef! People seriously underestimate my love of cooking!

14. You love spending your time with…

My family! My husband and kids, both his and mine.

15. Words of wisdom for our readers.

The most important thing in the world is to love and respect yourself. When you do that you achieve an inner peace and serenity and everything in your life becomes easier. If you can’t be happy with yourself you can’t do anything to make others happy. You must work hard to improve yourself and improve others.

Men Spring Style Guide You Should Know

Beginning of springs after cool windy winters is an amazing time of the year. Though, the shift from wintertime to springtime means start leaving the blankets and getting up early else you may experience sweating from extreme warmth of the blankets. This also means that you have to remove your sweaters and extra clothing, and come back to normal, putting the hoodies, jackets, mufflers away from you. This change of wardrobe is always necessary for you to feel refreshed and to enjoy every season of the year, whether it is extreme summers or thrilling winters, or else the beautiful season of the flowers to bloom that is spring. However, girls have a variety to pick from the market, and wear in every other season; however the guys are always in great trouble when it comes to dressing up and staying stylish at the same time. On the contrary, some of the men maintain their wardrobes for the whole year if they are too much in to the vogue thing. So, here is a hint of different flavor for men clothing, and they are ready to go.

UPPERS - WHAT TO WEAR?

This is a very basic possession all guys have. Nevertheless, you must have perceived men who wear casual shirts, yet they look stylish and hot. Whereas, if the street boys wear the same shirt they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look as good as the cool handsome guys would appear, wearing a casual tee. So, what matters is how you choose colors, and what the combination of pants with it is, what qualities you are wearing, and are they going with the kind of personality you have. All these kind of questions that may arise when you visit the market, however you may feel that you already have such kind of clothing in your lockers but you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the art of making great combinations. Follow the few tips for it:

You are tall or you have a comparatively small height, stripes are a must for you. If you want to enhance the look of your width, then wear horizontal stripes, whereas for enhancement in the height you should wear vertical striped shirts. Stripes are always in vogue, so always carry them along. Shirts may vary from thinly striped ones to broadly striped. There is a wide variety for stripe pattern of shirts, you may opt for polo stripes, or full sleeved lined dress shirts, likewise lines do exist in every other type of shirt. Similarly, there are plain crew neck or v neck shirts in striking colors such as maroon, red, blue etc. or simply a small motive or symbol drawn over it. However, for the picnic and beach parties you have a choice of being funky and can get in to the floral tees.

LOWERS - YOU NEED:

Now, the most important part of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing is what type of jeans are in fashion. In the past few years, baggy pants were in fashion, with pants drooping at the hips, however with the changing trends, fitted jeans or pants are readily available in the market, making it more in to the style. Fitted sweatpants with stripes upon them are considered to be classy these days, and will combine with any plain tee shirt and a jacket if you want. Other stuff for these springs can be loose shorts either of the jeans material, or simple cotton stuff. Usually, the pants or jeans are few in quantity, and the number of shirts is more as you can make great blends with black, navy blue, grey and white jeans/pants, matching it with wide variation of colorful tees accessible. Men can wear whatever they feel like, but they need to keep on checking the stuff that is out of fashion, to stay in the market demand, or in order to maintain the circle of girl friends around them. So, get ready for the upcoming springs and inspire the girls in the most effective way.

81 The much awaited Bollywood movie Roy starring Arjun Rampal, Ranbir Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez finally hits the theatres and here we offer you a first-hand review of the movie Roy. Directed by debutant director Vikramjit Singh, Roy happens to be a romantic thriller with a mix of action, suspense and romance which certainly are exciting components of Bollywood thrillers.

PLOT:

To talk about the plot of the movie Roy, Arjun Rampal (Kabir Grewal) plays the role of a successful film-maker while, Ranbir Kapoor (Roy) is seen as a smart mysterious thief and gorgeous Jacqueline Fernandez interestingly has double roles in the film. While, Ranbir Kapoor earns money by robbery and he remains untraceable by the police, Arjun Rampal makes a lot of money by making films on the life of Roy, all of which become super-hits at the Box Office.

Jacqueline Fernandez, apart from adding glamour quotient to

Roy

Jacqueline Fernandez (Ayesha) also appears as a film-maker and gets mingled with Arjun Rampal who carries an image of a playboy. While, the initial part of the movie Roy is mostly about Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline Fernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s romance, the film becomes interesting as a love triangle commences, with several mysteries associated with Jacqueline Fernandez and Ranbir Kapoor getting unfolded. Performance: Director Vikramjit Singh attempted to create something unorthodox with the movie Roy with a superb star-cast, of course. Talking about the performance, Arjun Rampal dons the role of a proud, arrogant and successful film-maker pretty well with an attitude. Ranbir Kapoor as a charming and smart thief keeps the mystery in his character intact all through the film, though his presence in the film is comparatively short.

the film , also has enough scope to prove her prowess as an actress and the diva does considerable justice to her role. Other than Arjun, Ranbir and Jacqueline, Anupam Kher (as Kabirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father) and Shibani Dandekar (Zoya) also justified their roles. As a director, Vikramjit Singh tried to add all the necessary ingredients in the movie Roy that are required to have an entertaining Bollywood film. Apart from the strong star-cast and a gripping story-line, Roy offers you with some eye-catching locations and soothing music.

If you choose a pattern, be sure to pull at least one of the colors from your bedding, wall art or window treatments. Alternatively, if you already have a lot of pattern in your room, go easy on the eyes with a solid color.

7. Add a Bench:

The foot of the bed is a natural place for extra seating. Add a bench or ottoman to create a comfortable spot to sit and tie your shoes, toss an extra blanket or, yes, to even throw your clothes. Better yet, make it upholstered for that extra hit of color.
