Bad Beauty Habits You Should Avoid Definitely

We have zeroed in on some of the worst skin care habits that should be avoided at any cost. These habits can have long-lasting negative effects on the overall appearance and health of your skin. Just make things easy for your skin by breaking free from the below-stated habits.


1. Sleeping With Makeup


On Most of us have slept with makeup on at some point or the other. However, this is one of the worst skin care habits that should be avoided at any cost.


2. Over Cleansing


The Skin As per skin care experts, cleansing is a must-do skin care step; however, overdoing it can do more harm than good to your skin.


3. Picking Or Squeezing Pimples


Picking or squeezing pimples may seem like an easy way out. However, this can cause severe infection and lead to unappealing breakouts and stubborn scarring.


4. Ignoring The Area Around Your Eyes


The skin around your eyes is thin and sensitive. Despite that, most women forget to pay enough attention to this area, thereby leading to dark circles, puffy eyes and even wrinkles. Break free from this skin habit to make sure that the area around your eyes looks refreshing and youthful at all times.


6. Using Too Many Products


This is another common skin habit that can wreak havoc in your skin’s appearance and health. Using too many products can do more harm than good to your skin. It can strip your skin off of its natural moisture and shine. So, instead of using too many products, just use a few essential products to make sure that your skin stays healthy and glows radiantly.


7. Using Harsh Cleansers


Facial cleansers that are infused with harsh chemicals can adversely affect the health and appearance of your skin. The chemicals present in such cleansers can rob your skin off of its natural moisture and leave it feeling dehydrated.


8. Not Moisturizing The Neck Area


A majority of women these days make the common mistake of not moisturizing their neck area. This causes the skin on your neck to display premature signs of ageing and at times look darker than your facial skin.Read more at:formal dresses | cheap bridesmaid dresses australia

Pashmina is posh again

A decade ago, shawls were seen as heirlooms that were worn only on momentous social occasions. They’ve got a stylish makeover now as everyday wear rather than as a protective layering in cold wintry weather.


Texturally too, shawls have changed to become less shimmery and are not as heavily decorated with embroidery as before. From heavy hand-woven shawls like the Kullu variety, they have become almost wafer-thin in their modern update. The lighter look has made shawls more popular with young wearers.


Pashmina wool (‘soft gold’ in Kashmiri), has now become an easily accessible product. The wool itself is sourced from four distinct breeds of the Cashmere goat commonly found in Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Nepal and parts of Pakistan. Pashmina mufflers, stoles, and shawls are all part of the modern middle class wardrobe these days.


Bridging the gap


The popularity of these shawls can be seen from the fact Jaypore, an online brand, recently curated a pop-up at its outlet at Garden of Five Senses in Delhi, where the star of the show was the Kani Pashmina shawl. Made by weaving coloured yarn wound on small wooden sticks called Kani that serve as the weft, they are made to pass through the warp as per a written code.


“Right from the full-scale coded drawing of the design, called a talim, made by the naqqash to meticulously recording the pattern for further designs, a Kani shawl is so complicated, that it can take up to a year for two weavers working together. The motifs and colours in these shawls are inspired by the Chinar tree,” says Radhika Chhabra, Head of Clothing and Accessories at Jaypore.


Shruti Sancheti’s upcoming collection of Pashmina shawls will be unveiled at Who’s Next in Paris. She has given an international look for the discerning fashion lovers in the West.


Sancheti says: “In Paris, I will showcase Pashmina as a lightweight and luxury accessory which can be worn according to the season.” Trying to show its versatility, Sancheti will draping Pashmina wear in different styles on her models. “Using lace with wool makes for a more dressy shawl since it gives a dash of feminine detail and touch of elegance. Metallic fibres such as lurex give a metallic shine, and make it ideal for evening wear.”


Natural colours


As a designer, Sonal Verma believes that she has the power to narrate a beautifully woven narrative through Pashmina. “New embroidery has changed the look and feel of the traditional shawl. The traditional heavy borders have been replaced with geometric motifs or contemporary patterns like embroidered bugs,” says Verma.


Verma uses a blend of Pashmina that ranges from 12 to 15 microns. “Whenever I can, I stock up on these shawls in natural colours. And then add value by surface ornamentation in leather.”


She also uses wool, silk and cotton thread embroidery to create fast fashion pieces. “Many silhouettes are being experimented with shawls. There are asymmetrical shawls, jacket shawls, overlapping shawls, stole sizes also turned into ponchos, and a Kimono-style open shawl. We do a blend of silk and wool, wool silk and lurex,” says Verma.


But there are still fashion industry stalwarts who want to resuscitate Pashmina in its original avatar. One such personality is Varuna Anand, who recently promoted high-end embroidered Pashmina shawls at The Splendor of Kashmir at Hotel Imperial. And she is euphoric that youngsters are aware of the kind of worksmanship that goes into it.


“They are indulging themselves in Pashmina as it has more detailing and their curiosity to know every little detail means that it has a future,” says Anand, who showcased the work of artisans from Srinagar at her show.


These shawls are very different from the ones seen on ramps. “We still have fantastic craftsmen in Kashmir. These shawls are traditional, which you don’t get to see in Delhi. I don’t do any blending of wools and educate people that these are labour-intensive products.” A textile expert and founder of The Splendor of Kashmir, Anand got enlightened about Pashmina after getting married into a Kashmiri family. “It was an eye-opener for me and I have been working with local weavers in the Valley for the last eight years,” she says.Read more at:cheap formal dresses australia | long formal dresses

Meet Trenna Seney

Cardi B may rap about her love for Saint Laurent and Christian Louboutin, but she also has a heart for up-and-coming designers. Just a few weeks ago, she obsessed over the newest addition to her jacket collection on Instagram, courtesy of Trenna Seney, the 26-year-old behind custom clothing brand, 1 of 1 NYC. “I love this,” Cardi said on the photo-sharing platform.


The budding fashion star first caught Cardi’s attention on the set of the TV series that kicked off the rapper’s career, Love & Hip Hop: New York. “The makeup artist for the person I worked for on the show also did Cardi’s makeup and she introduced me to her on set,” Seney tells Billboard Style. “From the show, to back when she was dancing at the club, Cardi has had the same makeup artist, and I’ve always been friends with that person. One day I told her I wanted to make something for Cardi, and she was actually the one who encouraged me to do it.”


Seney never thought she would be a designer. She has only been making custom clothes since she quit her jobs at the Apple store and jeweler back in January 2017, so she was unsure at first of what to make for the standout artist.


“I’m still new at this,” she confesses. “I love how humble Cardi is, she really is the nicest person. I don’t ever want her to change. I channeled this sentiment and made a leather jacket for her with the phrase ‘Just A Girl From THE BRONX’ hand-painted on the back. I elevated it by placing 231 gold studs above the words, which took me a good four hours to complete.”


Since finishing the look for the "Bodak Yellow" breakout star, Seney has been caught in a whirlwind of adventure. “I have a funny story about how I got the jacket to Cardi actually,” she says. “The week before she posted it on the ‘gram, I dropped it off to her makeup artist in Harlem. I get it there, head back home and three minutes before I reach my house, I completely run out of gas on the highway. My dad had to bring me gas, and it was a mess -- but I was thinking that at least the jacket was on its way to Cardi. Then a week later, she was wearing it.”


The hip-hop sensation from The Bronx isn’t the only artist who gave Seney a seal of approval. 2 Chainz was the first to notice and wear her designs on his Pretty Girls Like Trap Music Tour. Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Flo Rida flaunted the camo jacket she designed for him that said “Hola” on the back in honor of the name of his newest single featuring Maluma. The young creative is all about the hustle of getting her name out there and is even expanding her clothing line into accessories.


"I pride myself in my brand," Seney explained. "Like it says in the name, when I make clothes for you it’s going to be one of one. I paint everything by hand, so I’m never going to be able to do something exactly like I did before and that’s what makes it special.” You can also catch some of her items in person at Bulletin, a store located in SOHO which features a unique array of clothing you can’t get anywhere else.Read more at:bridesmaid dresses | formal dresses

Maison Alaïa to Continue With Collections

Maison Alaïa, still reeling from the death of its founder last month, said Monday it would continue to create new collections — and ramp up exhibitions devoted to its fashion legacy and know-how.


Its next ready-to-wear and accessories collections are to be presented in January and March, according to the Paris-based house, but no information was provided on who will design them.


While little is known about the inner workings of the studio, Caroline Fabre Bazin is Maison Alaïa’s studio director and the late couturier’s first assistant is Japan-born Hideki Seo.


An Azzedine Alaïa retrospective is slated to open at London’s Design Museum in May, as reported.


On Monday, the fashion house enumerated a series of exhibitions and events, working with various collaborators from the Alaïa “family” and kicking off with an exhibition timed for Paris couture week in January curated by Olivier Saillard, who was behind a major Alaïa retrospective that marked the reopening of Paris’ Musée Galliera in 2013. The new exhibition will be held at the house’s headquarters in the Marais district, at the Galerie Alaïa, on Rue de la Verrerie.


Timed with the London Alaïa retrospective, meanwhile, will be the opening of the Compagnie Financière Richemont-owned brand’s first London flagship, located at 139 New Bond Street. The iconic designer, who died of heart failure, had helped to curate the show alongside Mark Wilson, chief curator of the Groninger Museum.


The couturier’s art foundation, the Azzedine Alaïa Association — which he began in 2007 with his life partner, the painter Christophe von Weyhe, and Carla Sozzani, the Italian retailer and his constant sidekick — will also become the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, gathering works collected across 50 years at the Rue de Moussy headquarters, where he lived and worked. It also boasts a library dedicated to fashion and culture that will be made available to researchers.


The house plans to stage a series of exhibitions covering topics including fashion and design. Maison Alaïa also plans to sponsor scholarships for promising young talent, according to the company.Read more at:formal dresses online | bridesmaid dresses australia

Pokello Nare finally responds to divorce allegations

Not long ago there were publications that went viral on social media suggesting that ElikemTheTailor and his beautiful wife, Pokello Nare were heading to court for a divorce.


According to the publications, the reason why the couple were heading for a divorce was that Pokello did not wish her husband "a birthday" on his birthday.


However, Elikem who spoke on JoyNews refuted all such allegations and indicated he owes no one an explanation when it comes to his marriage.


"Why are people dwelling on what's on social media....I don't understand why there hasn't been a post where people will not want to jump to conclusion A, B or C."


"Secondly. I am not to spit out what's private at home on air, to say yes I am divorced or no I am not divorced so whether I am divorced or not, I am sure it's not anyone's business so to speak"....Elikem said.


However, his wife Pokello Nare has come out to respond all these divorce allegations after she shared a tweet on her twitter handle.


She indicated in her tweet that the only way life will be better for you is not being worried about how it looks to people who don't matter.


"Life's better when you stop worrying about how it looks to people who don't matter!", Pokello tweeted


From her tweet, it indicates that there's probably no cause for alarm, as the publications that went viral on social media were just false alarms.


ElikemTheTailor met Pokello Nare back in 2013 when they were in the Big Brother Africa House. The two fell in love with each other, and in 2014 Elikem proposed to Pokello at the Ghana Music Awards Night in 2014, in what I will say is one of the memorable proposals I have seen. The two got married in 2015, and have a son called Tristan.Read more at:purple bridesmaid dresses | pink bridesmaid dresses

New York Designer Is Quietly

Moon Choi, 27, is a Seoul-born, New York–based designer with a mind of her own. Through a dreamy lineup of boxy suit coats and sheer piped tunics, the recent Parsons graduate intends to affect change. “I always look at gender boundaries and want to break them,” she says. “There are no rules to making clothing or to wearing them.” It is a powerful movement in the States, but still nascent in Korea, where Choi is from. But more surprising than her personal revelations regarding gender is the lack of heavy-handed messaging to accompany it—Choi’s clothes are simply lovely and plainly presented to people without labels.


In a sunlit showroom space in Soho, not far from where she currently works, she pages through her Spring 2018 sophomore offering (her first, Fall 2017, was her graduation collection). Scenes inspire her: Here, she imagined a single figure, waking up in bed at dawn. “Woman, man, it doesn’t matter, but looking at that person’s shape, their back,” she says, “the linen blanket, the sunbeams coming through the window, those soft textures.” The feeling comes through clearly in the poetic clothes, largely woven in silk, cotton, and other natural fibers.


There are shrug-sleeve coats and wrap skirts the color of turmeric, constructed largely from Japanese fabrics: a soft pink velvet, slightly wrinkled as though it was slept on. Then there’s a sheer dyed organza that she developed and plans to make her signature. “This see-through nature, it’s like the sun coming through the curtains,” she says, lifting the sleeve of a pale blue shirtdress with thick white dimensional stripes that nod to window blinds. “They create those lines and shadows.” Similarly, cargo pouch pockets are shaped like the window’s frame.


Moon Choi revolves around tailoring—the typically masculine realm of suits first caught her eye as a kid, watching her father, a businessman, dress for the office. “Every time he left the house, he would come out in a clean suit,” she says. “I started to look at how the clothes formed his identity and attitude.” Working within that limited framework, Choi tries to upend expectations and “blur the boundaries between masculine and feminine”: silk blazers with dramatically padded shoulders and suit coats worn backwards as a cool subversion.


This rule-breaking stance is particularly revolutionary for a native Korean, as the country maintains fairly rigid gender norms to this day (“In Korea, women have a specific kind of role,” she says with some frustration). Choi is still informed by her childhood in Seoul, particularlyby the inflexible school system. Girls wear stereotypically feminine, deliberately modest skirts and collared tops; there is little room for expression, and she hated that then. “But when I started studying fashion, I became fascinated by that slight tension in the clothes,” she says. “Uniforms and suits, mixing those elements and finding freedom within them gave me a sense of purpose. To find freedom inside daily life.”


Choi puts it simply: “When it comes to gender, these days, women’s and men’s doesn’t matter,” she says. “You might be a man, but want to wear a skirt. I just design it, and then put it out there to let the customers decide.” Now, with the launch of her e-commerce platform today and a full-scale presentation to follow next year, more people than ever will be free to do just that—in New York, Seoul, and all points in between.Read more at:white formal dresses | vintage formal dresses

Front row at the Manish Arora X Zoya show in Paris

it’s an overcast Parisian morning, and leaves the colour of maple syrup are raining down on the street style photographers gathered outside Pavillon Ledoyen. They’re confident of their prospects today—after all, the name on the invite says Manish Arora, which is basically a fashion synonym for ‘the crazier, the better’.


Rounding up a decade of showcasing at Paris Fashion Week, Arora has a treat in store for his Spring/Summer ’18 presentation. The designer has teamed up with fine jewellery label Zoya, whose eclectic handmade pieces will be paired with his garments for the very first time. If this seems like an oddball combination, it’s only because you haven’t fully appreciated the bold choices Zoya’s master craftsmen make with their jewellery. Pink enamel lotus blossoms dangle from one model’s earlobes; a peacock feather-inspired statement necklace highlights the collarbones on another. While the show’s jewellery is a curated mix from Zoya’s recent collections, the showstopper, if you will, is the Pont Des Arts necklace, inspired by Paris’s melancholic bridge of love.


“We spent a year working on the Musée Du Luxe collection, and all the handcrafted pieces are inspired by various Parisian icons, from the Eiffel Tower bracelet to the Arc de Triomphe necklace,” explains Amanpreet Ahluwalia, business head, Zoya. “Our pieces are not what you would ordinarily expect when you think of Indian handcrafted jewellery, and that’s why we thought Manish Arora was the perfect match.”


Not that Arora needed too much convincing. You only need to hear him wax eloquent about Paris and its mythical charms to know why the collaboration was such a natural fit.


He adds, “Our Spring/Summer ’18 collection reflects fun and luxury interpreted through printed, embroidered and embellished motifs of hearts, stars, feathers and flowers, and many of these design elements are beautifully crafted through precious gems and metals in their collections. Both at Manish Arora and Zoya, we spend months creating our pieces, meticulously by hand. It’s an aspect of both our products that comes through quite evidently, and it’s what I am most pleased about in the course of this collaboration.”Read more at:formal dresses online australia | cheap formal dresses online

Getting Laser Hair Removal

Despite how long laser hair removal has been around now, there is still a lot that many don't know about the hair removal system. When I signed up for a course of laser treatments for my underarms at sk:n, a UK-based skin clinic, I threw out my razors, shaving creams, and home-waxing kit because I just knew it was the savior I'd been waiting for. (Spoiler alert: I was wrong!) If you're considering underarm laser hair removal, read on for the five things I wish I'd known before I started the treatment.


Is It Permanent?


A course of six to eight treatments is usually recommended for the best results, with top-up sessions prescribed as needed. After six treatments, I found my coarser underarm hairs growing back and needing to be shaved more and more, so while the follicles attached to the finer hairs in my underarms appear to be permanently defunct, the ones attached to my coarser ones don't appear to have been affected at all. That being said, I currently only shave them every seven to 10 days, which is better than the twice weekly shaves I had to endure before.


Does It Hurt?


As the saying goes, beauty is pain, and if you consider being hairless a beautiful thing, then you'd better be prepared for the pain of laser hair removal. Despite how quick and uncomplicated the sessions are, laser hair removal isn't exactly painless. The zap of the laser is comparable to someone repeatedly flicking rubber bands into your underarm skin for about 10 minutes, and when that's done, you can expect to be tender for up to 24 hours after. You're always advised to shave the night before a laser session to avoid the laser burning any hair as it blitzes over the area being treated.


Loading


When Do You Start Seeing Results?


Although results vary depending on each person, I started seeing a difference in the fine texture of my regrowth after the second session. The growth was fine enough that I didn't feel the need to shave in the six weeks between that session and the next. After the first session, though, you may start noticing hairs growing as normal and then quickly falling out as the follicles slowly die. This is completely normal.


How Long Does It Take?


For underarm treatments in particular, you're required to get six to eight treatments with six weeks in between each session to allow for each follicle to be targeted in the right stage of its growth cycle. The sessions themselves take five to 10 minutes of actual laser zapping. So, if you thought it was a one-and-done scenario like I did, you're sorely mistaken because you'll be getting treatments for up to eight months. Keep in mind that any direct sun exposure that occurs on the area being treated will mean you have to wait two weeks to ensure the laser doesn't cause further damage.


Is It Worth It?


Depending on what your expectations are, laser hair removal might fall on either side of the fence when it comes to whether it's worth it. As someone with coarse hair that is more prone to ingrown hairs, I developed sensitive, blemished underarm skin because of constant abrasion from shaving and exfoliating, so the break I got from my normal grooming routine was more than worth it, sore underarms and all.Read more at:www.queenieau.com | bridesmaid dresses australia

THE RIHANNA-HOSTED 2018 MET GALA

Next year's Met Gala theme has officially been confirmed: The title of the Costume Institute's much-anticipated spring exhibition is "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."


The exhibition will feature ecclesiastical garb borrowed from the Vatican, religious art from the Met's own collection and 150 designer garments that pay aesthetic homage to Catholicism. Rather than being contained in one gallery, the exhibition will be spread over three locations: the Met's Costume Center, its medieval galleries and further uptown at the Met Cloisters. According to The New York Times, the exhibition will be the Costume Institute's largest exhibition to date; depending on how it's executed, it may also be the most polarizing.


"We know it could be controversial for right wing or conservative Catholics and for liberal Catholics," curator Andrew Bolton told the Times.


But president and chief executive of the Met Daniel H. Weiss noted that he has "confidence that the exhibition will inspire understanding, creativity and, along the way, constructive dialogue, which is precisely a museum's role in our civil society."


However provocative or not the exhibition turns out to be, it could hardly be more so than the history of fashion's relationship with the Catholic church. From Dolce & Gabbana sending religious imagery down the runway to pop stars like Lady Gaga and Madonna using clothing to set themselves up as new spiritual icons, fashion has long borrowed heavily from the church's rich visual history.


And the fact that Bolton consulted local Catholic leadership in New York, not to mention partnered with the Vatican for parts of the exhibition, may help ease tensions felt by the faithful.


"The Roman Catholic Church has been producing and promoting beautiful works of art for centuries," director of the Holy See press office Greg Burke told the Times. "Most people have experienced that through religious paintings and architecture. This is another way of sharing some of that beauty that rarely gets seen."


Only time will tell whether the exhibition will be fully embraced by both the fashion world and the Catholic church alike. Either way, the First Monday in May is sure to make as big a splash as ever. The gala will be co-hosted by Rihanna, Donatella Versace(whose label is co-sponsoring the show) and Amal Clooney. They will be joined by the Patron Saint of the Met Gala, Anna Wintour, and a small handful of museum trustees and sponsors.Read more at:QueenieAu | cheap bridesmaid dresses
