Life is too short to wear boring shoes!

Ballerinas, stilettos, pumps, flats or wedges the glitch continues... Besides being a clothes scientist, it always takes the right pair of shoes to perfect your look and up your style quotient. 

With the latest party in town, attending a wedding, catching the screening of one of the most awaited movie or even Sunday  brunching - with so many social events in your kitty you can surely make your feet do the talking!! 

How about donning the iconic LBD with a gold box clutch and yuppies, those cute pink pumps. The black, gold and pink combo is the new thing in tinsel town! Be sure to garner all the attention at the party. Don’t forget to accessorize a bit more with a gold choker to complement your clutch. 

Meeting people, munching on those delicious snacks, or even shaking a leg at the dance floor sounds socially exciting, yet how all all this be possible if the footwear is something glitzy but hard to carry? Wear your favourite anarkali or half saree ( if sarees are manageable for you) and let your feet steal the show with those nude or gold ballerinas. Ballerinas are highly symbolic of panache, comfort and elegance. 

Yup, that chick flick with your girlies and what better way to be a slice of the character than being a Shoe Girl. ;) Go iconic and keep the shoes exclusive! Where your pals would be in floral tops, cute flats and black leather pants you take the casual route with a pair of stylish denims, your favourite white tee, your black handbag and try your hard at suede shoes. Go for a contrast since your outfit is a staple combo, try pink, orange or yellow. The look will totally rock!!

Food coupled with Fashion is perfectly balanced! Why not wear your wedges instead of going for the regulars. They're neither too  high nor too  flat but yet exude a look to die for.

 Finally, what better way to step out for a stroll in the pleasant evening with your favourite look: a tee, comfy pants and slippers!! :'D 

As Louboutin quotes , "Shoes lift us physically and emotionally. They improve your body language."


Happy Feet. :) x

Travel Astrology!

Ever been in a dilemma while planning out a vacation? Worry not, a holiday spot to match your personality!! Take your pick, travel bugs:

Aries: Adventure, enthusiasm and zeal personify this sun sign. An Aries is likely to find its comfort. Sitting on a beach soaking up the sun, does not tickle your fancy. The geographical diversity of Morocco is well suited to these explorers.

Taurus: The colourful exuberance and liveliness of Prague will help Taureans strike a resemblance with their need for fine food, wine and a beautiful climate. A Taurus develops a sense of belonging towards scenic places that offer museums, art gallery and provides a new cultural experience.

Gemini: A Gemini breathes by Dynamism! Go have fun in Mexico exploring the hidden gems of the destination, laze about sipping an exotic cocktail by the white sands in the evening and be sure to cherish your experience of reading your favourite novel/magazine at the backdrop of scenic mountains.

Cancer: The Caribbean Islands is an ideal vacation spot for these Aqua babies!! Privacy is of utmost importance to Cancerians. These tiny islands would set the mood for getting in touch with nature and exploring foreign delicacies. They can enter an entirely different realm just by being in touch with their emotional side.

Leo: Leos seek first class service and glamour. In short everything the French capital has to offer. The historically rich adversity that the city of Paris has been built upon will have them revelling with a sense of pride for this city/country. Head to Paris to unwind yourselves, Leos!!

Virgo: Perfection is what a Virgo seeks. The perfectly structured city of Rome has it all a Virgo seeks. The undiscovered hole in the wall restaurant and stumbled-upon garden will be the talk of your trip and your keen eye will give you plenty of ammunition (and bragging rights) to tell your friends all about it upon your return.

Libra: The socialite Libra can seek bliss midst the party place Miami where they fulfill their need to interact with people of different backgrounds. Besides, typical Libras can relax and enjoy by savouring the idyllic aura of Spain admiring the scenic beauty of nature, basking in luxury.

Scorpio: Scorpios make great solo travellers. They prefer exotic locations like Maldives. While travelling, they are likely to get buried in a collection of brain teasers or a mystery novel owing to their mysterious personality. The exotic Maldives coupled with its diverse landscape is a complete fit for Scorpions.

Sagittarius: They get a charge out of experiencing different cultures and seeing as much as they can.  Learning with travelling is the best holiday for these individuals who eat, breathe and sleep travelling. The Sagittarius eager mind will be intrigued by the experience that Philippines has to offer. Get your bags packing for a timeless experience ;)

Capricorn:  The reason behind a holiday is to unwind from a busy schedule. What better than the Greek islands? The practical and self-reliant travellers can easily recharge their batteries in the Greek Islands, experience a sense of bliss and hop back to their busy lives.

Aquarius: The independent and adaptable Aquarians can whisk away to Thailand. They will appreciate the spiritual way of life that the modest locals live. The blue beaches will be the perfect place for the water loving Aquarians to recoup. Get set to come home with amazing photos to cherish the wonderful memories.

Pisces: Besides being nature lovers, Pisces are carers and nurturers. Owing to a Pisces diverse range of interests and need for exploring beautiful settings what could be more soothing than the coastlines of Australia, just gazing at the beauty nature has to offer.

My Fashion Show guide! :))

“The Couture Week” clearly spells out Glitz, Glamour and Vogue!! A wonderful experience is surely on the cards. The venue, the show, the collection, the designers, the people and yes, your charismatic presence is what matters to make this date with fashion an impressive one.

An outing with style must surely be complimented likewise.  What to wear, what to carry in that bag and how to exude confidence is on an attendee’s mind.

Sure you don’t want to be looking like a make-up kit or plain Jane or rather a model for a designer when you have merely come as a spectator. 

Firstly, keep your options open and do not limit yourself to a dress, a signature bag or stilettos! Play with style- Try to sport the sling or the rectangular clutch when fellow guests opt for the typical mini totes and iconic bags owned by every third person- reserve that for your Sunday brunch.

Witnessing a Fashion Show is not only admiring the beautiful creations by designers but also socializing. Thus, footwear must be of your comfort. Trying something for the first time will be a little difficult. Go in for your favourite nude or black pair of ballerinas and if you seem to be comfortable in those pretty peep-toes, go ahead! :)

Coordinating your ensemble is of prime importance. Once again, comfort is more vital than being a glam doll like a mannequin. The classic LBD is quite common and an all-time favourite. Go for a peplum top with a shrug or a cute girly top with black pants.  A maxi dress would be a good choice too.

Here is a pick: A hot pink peplum top with a silver shrug and the black Zara pants. Let that blue sling steal the limelight and keep it minimal with those black glittery ballerinas. How about accessorizing your look with a gold choker in order to complete your look! Don’t forget to step out without a gloss. ;)


Hope this gave you a brief insight! :D)

Forecasts and predictions!

Newspapers, TV channels, Google notifications or internet advertises give an insight into forecasts and predictions that are derived from your zodiac sign.

Some may use these as a casual read, a serious matter to know regarding one’s day, some may go to astrologers and clairvoyants. Yet, what could be the bottom line of these predictions?

There are so many mediums to know what’s in store for the day, month or year.  Would you make use of them or would you just go with the flow of life?

Palmistry, tarot, handwriting analysis, Feng Shui, crystal ball, mole reading and face reading- the list is endless.  In short, each aspect gives meaning to the different happenings of life. Not everything can be done by one kind only palmistry or numerology.  These, used together provide a complete package into your life and the course that your life takes.

 To elaborate, palmistry gives an insight into the direction of life, crystal ball tells you about the distant future, numerology helps one choose the path to be chosen, moles tell an individual about the ups and downs of one’s life, face reading gives a peek into the personality and tarot card reading speaks about a person’s past, present and future and the reason for the occurrence of certain events in life.

In a nutshell, forecasts and predictions are a medium to know life in depth, know what to do, prevent something from happening and choose the path one is chosen for.

A rendezvous with bags!




 ‘Much Ado about a Bag’- primarily because it completes one’s look; A must have black bag, silver bag or classic white bag and definitely an iconic!!  If you thought it ends there.... think again. ;)

As clichéd as it sounds, bags are undoubtedly a woman’s best friend.  Not having the right bag with the right dress would probably make an ensemble look incomplete.

It’s quite a common scenario to be awed by the display and wonder whether these were probably the ideal bags destined for your closet and only later does it strike that there is something quite similar lying in your closet!

Nevertheless, as strange as it may seem, factually a bag defines one’s style and persona. How about teaming a cute glittery pink clutch with an LBD rather that teaming that gorgeous LBD with a white sling that seems nothing more than your daily sling; though black and white may seem the most suitable combination, in most cases.

A bag does not only enhance one’s look, persona or fashion quotient but also paves way for versatility.  Go ahead and play with that bag collection of yours with these typical instances:

Pair that sober anarkali with a colour co-ordinated box type clutch, the jeans-tee look with a cream or beige or light coloured shoulder bag or even a tote, that favourite floral dress with a mini sling and a quilted bag for the stereotypical day look.
On a personal note, when I give a thought to these minus “The Bag” I would be wondering about the missing element! ;)


Happy bag shopping!!! C:

The Saree Gown!!


Gone are the days where you can only flaunt an LBD or an LWD or even a peplum at a cocktail party or night out.
It’s quite vital for each of us to look our best and stand out. Nevertheless, are any of the above the ONLY apt choice? Well then, here is a peek into a saree gown. 

A saree gown is not an ensemble that is symbolic of Indian culture and its roots. However, it is a pretty piece of attire that has a Western appeal coupled with Indian charm. 

Hats off to the creative gene in Sonaakshi Raaj, popularly known as the saree gown couturier, barely in her mid-twenties, Sonaakshi has managed to take the world of glitz, glamour and fashion by her remarkable talent in giving life to the saree gowns and contemporary Indian wear. 

One need not have the perfect body to don the saree gown but just the mood to flirt with style. Besides, why even wear a saree to a formal wedding a reception and endure the hassle involved in draping a saree to perfection when you can actually slip into a saree gown. 

This season, ditch the stereo cocktail numbers, embellished saree and sport the saree gown to exude effortlessly chic style!!

Zodiac Flavours!

Hey everyone!  It would be certainly interesting to learn how one’s choices of an ice cream flavour would be related to their zodiac sign. Here is an insight. :)

Aries: The pioneers of the zodiac, Arians are born leaders.  They are generous, and have physical courage, which are given to him by Mars, their ruling planet. The Ram lives life with no regrets! These foodies really need a lovely dessert to cherish their experience. Rocky road ice cream would complement their passionate side and leave a trail of bliss! With dollops of chocolate, gooey marshmallows and nuts, rocky road is sure to keep the adventurous Arian wanting for more.

Taurus: Often attributed to endurance, the true blue Taurean is full of perseverance and persistence. French Vanilla, simple and sensual is sure to be relished by them. Since they love to relax, rejuvenate and live by self indulgence, this flavour is sure to charm their senses! Offer a Taurean a bowl of French Vanilla with mild toppings like a swirl of chocolate sauce with a cherry or two for the perfect ice cream, they will melt with gratitude.

Gemini: Known as the jack of all trades, a Gemini is always ready to experience anything and everything in life. These individuals are naturally outgoing and possess a sparkling wit. They would generally opt for a social flavour like an amaretto. Since versatility seems to be their key, a scoop of these flavours coupled with a movie would put them on a pedestal, grinning wider for an additional scoop! Be sure to have the best time over a scoop of ice cream.

Cancer: Sensitive, shy and secretive defines a typical Cancerian. The inherently moody Cancer is highly family and home oriented. This sign is feminine in nature; hence strawberry ice cream would be a reflection of their personality- soft and subtle! Dairy products being their favourite, would not only make them feel heavenly but would also make them feel that they are in a happy environment as a happy environment is of utmost importance to a Cancerian.

Leo: The magnetic and charming personality of Leo attracts many followers as they make life fun and exciting for everyone! They are truly gifted with flamboyance, self-confidence and loyalty. Mint chocolate chip ice cream truly captivates them owing to the fact that they like their ice cream to be dolled up as elaborately as possible. They go to the extent of observing the minor bits of their flavour too as for them every opportunity in life is one where they can have the limelight and experience.

Virgo: Being orderly and perfect in their work, Virgos prefer a delicious scoop of chocolate ice cream. Their palate just can’t resist the perfectly crafted chocolate ice cream. They love to enjoy this in the company of their close friends and have a great time bonding over a scoop of chocolate ice cream! Therefore savouring life and luxuriating in the presence of their loved ones. A dash of caramel would complete their scoop in style.

Libra: Libra is all about balance. They prefer indulgence over temperance. All things rich are what a typical Libran swears by. Give them a bowl of raspberry ice cream and see them make it extravagant by means of their creative juices. Don’t be surprised when you see the ice cream topped with a few cherries, a wafer and chocolate sauce being their all time favourite! You are sure to enjoy a long conversation over ice cream with this social animal!

Scorpio: Scorpios do things wholeheartedly. They have a soft corner for their sweet tooth. A scoop of cappuccino ice cream will enhance their culinary journey. This flavour merges with their unique and mysterious personality. The rich coffee experience will be forever cherished by Scorpios! Interestingly, many Scorpions rely on coffee to help their bodies match their minds. Thus, a scoop of coffee ice cream personifies their personality!

Sagittarius: Sagittarius is representative of true optimism. They are the ones who really love life and are happy about it. They are known for having the most dignified palates in the Zodiac. A wholesome flavour with a few toppings is what they would prefer to indulge in. A scoop of butter pecan would be ideal as it satisfies a Sagittarius’ appetite hence giving a signature ending to their meal. They just love to have these little treats!

Capricorn: Capricorns are the most sincere and hardworking of the twelve zodiac signs. They would run errands to get even a simple task done. They would love to savour the fruit of their work by experimenting with their culinary delights. Give them an exotic flavour. Cookies and cream or mango and passion fruit will leave a trail of contentment in them. These subtle flavours will boost their mood luring them into a state of complete bliss!

Aquarius: Aquarians firmly believe in living, learning, loving and experiencing everything at first hand. Their food choices would be different, eccentric and unique. An Aquarian would likely opt for a scoop of Macadamia nuts due to the fact that it suits their versatile personality. As a matter of fact, these people are very experimental with their culinary needs. So, don’t be surprised when you don’t see them opting for a scoop of vanilla or strawberry.


Pisces: Soft, sensitive and sappy personifies a Pisces. They like to keep it special yet staying true to their feminine and soft persona. Their ice cream preference would indeed reflect the same. A berry based ice cream is the epitome of femininity and a Pisces would definitely relish this flavour. Be sure to have a cup of summer berries and cream or even some cake batter ice cream as they love to keep in touch with their creative side as well. 

Hope this was an interesting one! :)

“The Jewellery World!”

To be quite candid, this is an out of the blue topic that I received from my readers.  I do not have a command over this subject like I have over Fashion and Occult Science. Nevertheless, this post will give you an insight into what a career in the “Jewellery World” holds for individuals interested in any aspect of jewellery.
It is presumed that being a jewellery designer is the most lucrative and safe choice for a career in this field. There are individuals who do not enjoy the process involved in creating a design for a ring, necklace, pendant or any other ornament. This does not pose to be a barrier at all. In this article, there are an array of choices that suit one’s flair, interests and needs.
A person is very conversant with what is happening in the jewellery world right from the latest collections, the latest designers on the block to the tastes and preferences of the individuals on a geographical platform- a Jewellery Merchandiser is the apt choice. It would give the concerned individual a clear insight into the working of this industry and also an opportunity to explore their talent.
Bringing things to life and making them desirable for everyone, if this is what someone swears by, it fits the Visual Merchandiser’s hat! That’s not about it. A visual merchandiser has an arduous task to make even the little pearl stand out and leave a trail of sheer brilliance and creativity.
Heard of a jewellery consultant? They are not salespersons, but, individuals who have an expertise on the various precious stones, which creation is suitable for which occasion and definitely if the creation suits the individual's persona! Interesting!
Marketing and advertising is where someone’s interest lies. Well then, clothes, businesses and job recruitment are not the only fields where marketing and advertising are a prime requirement; the Jewellery World needs to be marketed by these panel of experts who would reach the masses. To elaborate more on jewellery marketing, the concerned expert must study consumer behaviour on a large scale and cater to them keeping their tastes and preferences in mind.
Quite versatile indeed!! Take your pick, jewellery lovers. ;)
P.S. Thanks for the interesting topic, loving the response to this blog. :)

        Hope this was an interesting read!

What's my Zodiac Fragrance!

 This post is all about which fragrance would be in sync with your Zodiac Sign! Sounds interesting? Have a read! :)

I was asked by a few people whether a fragrance can make a difference.  I was speechless!  And remarked, go try it out. :)

Aries:
Originality and a self-assure nature run in your veins! Being a leader is what gives you contentment. Your instincts earn you those extra brownie points thus making a wonderful first impression. So, a fragrance that will grab your attention and revitalise your sense would be bright citrus ones like Orange and Bergamot! Rose is a good pick too! :)

Taurus:
A true Taurean is a very homely person. They appreciate love and beauty and love it to bits. Being so, they will be on cloud nine by using gourmand and floral fragrances. These fragrances will not only boost their mood but also ease the possibilities of getting angry or feeling insecure at times.  Surprisingly, usage of these fragrances, over a period of time, will guard Taureans from being misjudged as stubborn or authoritative. :)

Gemini:
Driven by cheerfulness and an easy-going personality, Geminis fragrance would be an epitome of charm owing to the fact that they are gifted with a sense of charm and wit! Geminis yearn for social interaction and excitement so an unusual fragrance with contrasting elements would be a perfect buy! Opt for something lavender, citrus or flirtatious. ;) You will instantly know the one, thanks to your brilliant senses! :)

Cancer:
Governed by emotion and sensitivity and constantly craving for stability and care, watery notes like marine and chamomile is a perfect choice. In addition, warm fragrances like Vanilla, white rose and germanium would be heavenly! Jasmine is a great choice too. The choice of fragrances by a Cancerian throw light upon their set priorities in life- affectionate relationships with family and close friends given the fact that they are lovable as well as loving. ;)

Leo:
Born leaders, strong and dignified! That is a typical Leo. They tackle tough situations with ease and emerge victorious. Leos are caring, warm and straightforward. They are generally motivated by affection for people, and a desire to be loved for what they bring to others. A Leo's fire blazes like the sun and others enjoy basking in the radiance and light they emit. They are drawn to fragrances that are bold, playful and luxurious. Cinnamon, sandalwood, olive blossom and lilies are ideal for a Leo. :)

Virgo:
The maiden representing Virgo is a symbol for elegance and grace, a sign blessed with a natural charm that easily seems to win people over. Virgos place a great deal of value on being true to themselves and doing their best in all they do.  They prefer to contemplate what is real over what is imagined, and value the concrete world of sensation over the subjective and changeable realms of thought and feeling. Sweet cherry blossoms and feminine fragrances seem to be the pick for Virgos. Citrus, chrysanthemum and herbs appeal to their pragmatic sensibilities. ;)

Libra:
Libras are one of the most admired signs in the zodiac because of their sociable, peace-loving nature and kindness towards others.  Quite refined and greatly concerned about their relationships with others, a fragrance that is luxurious and has a soothing effect is sure to impress a Libra. They take a lot of pleasure in love and being doted on in return puts them on a different level, altogether.  So, Libras, be sure to opt for fragrances dominated by white lilies, fennel and violet. :) 

Scorpio:
Scorpios seem to possess a magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under a tranquil and seemingly reserved composure. Their tenacity and willpower are immense, their depth of character and passionate conviction overwhelming, yet they are deeply sensitive and easily moved by their emotions. Dramatic notes of sexy florals, musks and amber will express your sensual personality. Pine and exotic fragrances are a wise selection too. :)

Sagittarius:
Sagittarius is generous and loving to others as well as themselves.  They live for change, wanting to experience everything life has to offer. If anything excites them more than the thrill of discovery, it is regaling others with stories about the things they have seen and learned and experienced in their lives. People admire their zest for life. These individuals are known for their practicality and individualism. Be certain to opt for a fragrance that leaves a spiritual or intuitive impression on you. Here are some instances, sandalwood, orange, rose and herbal notes. :)

Capricorn:
Confident, strong-willed and loyal best describe a Capricorn. They aspire to do great things and are serious about hard work. Capricorns have little endurance for distractions and stand by steadiness in relationships.  Being down to earth and realistic helps these individuals achieve their desired goal with sheer determination and methodical working. Hence, soothing and stimulating soft florals suit their personality. Vanilla, fig, earthy fruits and wild berries are also of great use to Capricorns!  :)

Aquarius:
Aquarians are by birth, creative thinkers, trendsetters and unrestrained!  They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humour. Their thoughtful, intellectual nature makes them fascinating, quirky, and intriguing people. Aquarians take pride in their individuality and delight in being different.  Fragrances that aquatic, airy and natural don’t fail to grab the Aquarian’s attention!  It would be lovely to give Lavender, Rose, Anise Star or Pine a shot! :)

Pisces:
Pisceans are endowed with a gentle, patient, easygoing nature. They have many generous qualities and are sensitive to the feelings of those around them. Mysterious and alluring individuals, they are innately artistic and sometimes exist emotionally rather than rationally, instinctively more than intellectually. They are also versatile and receptive to new ideas and atmospheres. Artistic and independent, Pisceans are drawn to unusual notes. They should go for rosemary, fresh berries, musk or amber! Trying their hand at a pineapple fragrance would be nice! :)

Hope you liked it! :)

Indian Wear!



I was quite amused when I learnt about Indian Wear and its raging popularity overseas as well! Nonetheless, Indian wear is beyond the salwars, sarees, lehengas and ghagra cholis.

Weddings are an exciting event to be a part of. And, most of us have been a part of cocktail parties. We look around and we see that most of the young women are in a Classic LBD and a south sea pearl neck piece.
My comments: Beautiful LBDs that exude vibrancy and grace coupled with that South Sea Pearl Neck piece. Treat to the eyes! Is it not? :).


Picture this: A young woman walks in a "Saree Gown." Yes, you may be less acquainted with this term. Yet, a saree gown is a paradoxical mix of fluidity and construction, the new silhouette combines the six-yard staple's classic structure with the practicality of the zipped-up gown. Here's a picture. :)






You may remark that you can't get over your undying love for salwars and anrkalis. Have you thought of sporting the embroidered jacket anarkalis?! They are quite conventional in demand and is a great choice for a festive season like Diwali or Raksha Bandhan. Or, wear it at a function. Also, if you are running late for a wedding and you just don't have the time to drape that saree, don the jacket anarkali. Here's a sneak-peek.






Assuming that neither of the above appealed to you or all of the above are tedious and difficult to sport. Go for Georgette tunics, they are trendy and have a youth appeal. :). Here is a look:



The men, too have an array of choices: Jodhpuri sets that have a western look, yet something Indian; the all time new favourite Bandhgalas, checked kurtas and not to forget, Sherwanis!










Hope you liked this post. :)

What does your ruling planet say about you?

 What a lovely experience it is to discover your personality by means of your favourite colour, birthdate and now, your ruling planet! :) 

Aries and Scorpio:
Your ruling planet is Mars:

Mars is bright red and linked to fire. His assertive nature ensures you've got the drive to make things happen thus categorizing you as an ambitious individual.Taking action helps you succeed, so when in doubt, do something. Your competitive edge keeps you looking for new challenges. Standing up for what’s important to you is a must. Your pioneering spirit means others will follow; all you have to do is lead. Lastly, you live by the motto, "Action speaks louder than words!"

Taurus and Libra:

Your ruling planet is Venus:

People born under Taurus and Libra are under the influence of Venus- the God of Love and Beauty. Your most valuable resources are the people in your life. Many of the things you cherish-- like your financial security, status, and good times are directly linked to who you know and how well you get along. Moreover, you would love to live a luxurious and comfortable life. Few people cultivate relationships as easily (and numerously) as you. Thus, you form long-lasting friendships and relationships. Inter-personal skills are a matter of importance to you individuals.

Gemini and Virgo:

Your ruling planet is Mercury:

Being under the influence of Mercury, you are an effective communicator.You're fast talkers, quick thinkers, and sharp dressers. Your mind is always racing ahead of the conversation. In the time it takes most people to formulate a thought, you've already come up with three ideas, worked out the pros and cons, and probably even decided which one makes the most sense. You exhibit a sense of versatility by the urge to learn new things, increase your knowledge and adapt to a new environment. Your ability to adapt yourself to any situation will earn you several brownie points. You love exercising your brain and unlocking mysteries. As far as you’re concerned, solving a problem is much more fun than having an answer.

Cancer:

Your ruling planet is The Moon:
It is in your genes to nurture. Your life is a life full of assorted experiences. Cornucopia-a Horn of Plenty. You sympathize with the under-privileged and family plays a pivotal role in your life.As a Child of the Moon you naturally gravitate to the security of hearth and home. If you have a bad day, then the first thing you do when you get home is reach for the comfort food. It might be a bowl of soup, a cup of hot tea, maybe even a pint of ice cream. After you've had a moment to relax, you'll find you're in a good mood again. As far as you're concerned everything looks better on a full stomach. In short, you are a sensitive person in touch with your emotional self.

Leo:

Your ruling planet is the Sun:

Just as the Sun is the center of the solar system, Leo likes to be at the center of everything as well! Your talents lie in leadership and management because you are great at energized, spotlight events. Channel the Sun’s power by being warm and supportive to those around you. The more you give, the more you get back. In addition, you live your life with dignity and pride. Being generous when it comes to helping others comes naturally to you. Power, determination and ambition are the driving forces in your life.

Sagittarius:

Your ruling planet is Jupiter:

Your life is a grand adventure. You never know what lies beyond the next bend. The most extraordinary things just seem to happen. That's why you can't wait to see what opportunities tomorrow might bring. But as a Child of Jupiter, you also know that there's a greater purpose at work and are a thinker by birth. It's in your nature to dream the impossible dream. Where would our civilization be if everyone accepted their limits and decided to huddle safely within bounds? There would be no outstanding art, no great inventions, no mind-boggling discoveries. It's the Children of Jupiter we have to thank for broadening both our physical and metaphysical horizons. You love your freedom and tend to rebel if anyone interferes with it. Besides, you do seem to be in touch with your spiritual side.

Capricorn:

Your ruling planet is Saturn:

You are a practical and disciplined person being under the influence of Saturn. People may marvel at your "good fortune," but they don’t know how much hard work went into making that prosperity happen. There's always a price to pay for a Child of Saturn. And that price is usually paid at a time when everyone's supposed to be feeling young and carefree. If there was a hard way to do something, you found it. You were probably the last one chosen when the kids were picking teams for softball. It took you forever to muster up the courage to speak in front of the class or ask someone out on a date. Yet it's your perseverance and strength in the face of setbacks and stumbling blocks that ultimately leads to your great achievements and sense of self-fulfillment. Your strong will-power will give you success in life.

Aquarius:

Your ruling planet is Uranus:

You were born different. What drives you isn't so much a profound dissatisfaction as it is an innate sense that you're just not getting it. There must be something more to what you're looking at.  Since you are under the influence of Uranus, you are inclined to pave your own path rather than follow the path taken by others. Always be in touch with your creative side and pursue your artistic abilities to gain fame for yourself.

Pisces:

Your ruling planet is Neptune:

What you show the world is an infinitesimal part of who you really are. You are compassionate and empathize with others. You live by the principle of having an honest and idealistic life and being ruled by Neptune, you should use your creativity and imagination to bring about the change around you. Listen to your inner- self owing to the fact that you have a strong sense of intuition before making key decisions. Do so and you will be surprised with the results.

Introduction

Hey there!

Here is my blog on Fashion and Occult Science- "Fashioncult26!" It dwells on Fashion and Occult Science. Here, I Personify Fashion and do not talk about what is and what is not in Vogue. It's all about how you can channelize your fashion interests ( if any). Also, those not into the "Fashion Field" can simply read it as a past time and get a slice of it. 

Occult Science! Well, let me make it's contents easy and known to you. Don't you want to know:
What does your birth date say about you? Your Birth Month? Your favourite color? 

Since, you've got a brief idea, Explore this blog for interesting new reads!

Scope for Fashion as a Career:

My take on Fashion as a Career:

Sure you like to design and play with colours! Nonetheless, can you make it your career? And, what scope does Fashion have besides designing?

Here is the answer. :)

It is quite possible to make it a career. You can surely intern with some labels and contribute your ideas in the making. In the process, develop your own line when you have ample capital and support.

A career in Fashion is not confined to DESIGNING. There are areas of specialization. Such as, Marketing, Merchandising, Editor of a Fashion Magazine and a Fashion Blogger in combination with being an online retailer. Quite diversified!

I'm often asked these questions:

Can these be bread and butter for a Good Lifestyle?
Why not? When it comes to Merchandising, you can advise designers to sell their collection and share the profits and revenue. To substantiate, it is like a financial analyst/ ad-visor giving inputs on investment ideas.
As a Fashion Designer, you can definitely earn a higher margin of profit by simply planning your production cost wisely such as procurement of raw materials and use of labour. 

Fashion Marketing!
" It's all about creating a trend and executing your creation."
Just like the Half-Saree trend set by Manish Malhotra's line that drew all Fashionistas to don it with poise, grace and elegance.

Your next question would be whether writing and giving inputs to a Fashion Magazine make a good living.
My answer to your question is: Can a company or an entity do without a Human Resource Manager? Your opinion is Oxygen to the Magazine. In addition, you get perks and opportunities to be a guest of honour at events where you are free to express yourself and practice being a private consultant and help your client look Gorgeous! Isn't that lucrative?

You have got a taste of Fashion as a career. Why not implement it if it interests you and  gets your fashion sense wondering? :).
