creative crocio.

hello guys.,

i am back with yet another post and this time its all about crocio.

crocio is not a fabric though it is some sort of design made on net fabric.

the most likely part of this dress is that it is made by me.

i love the creativity that we could do with crocio. you can mix match it with different colors, you can play around like i have done by leaving some part as it is and covering other by providing a cotton layer underneath crocio. 

pair it up with golden heels, red lips and golden bracelet and you are all set to look your hottest for the next party.

how about the back side.

this fabric was amazingly used on nargis in kick. look at the way the fabric is flowing underneath and covering her sleeves and the criss cross pattern on her stomach area

dungarees and jumpsuits

Jumpsuit is a one-piece garment used by parachuters/skydivers , but has come to be used as a
common term for any one-piece garment with sleeves and legs.

it was used by skydivers to keep their bodies warm from the high altitudes but now it is a new found love for fashionistas like us.

your full body jumpsuits are best when tied up with full sleeves shirts or t shirts with boots or ankle length shoes.

TIP: dont go for thick material shirt and t-shirt it will be uncomfortable. go for Georgette or chiffon shirts or light weight, thin fabricated T.

dungaree's on the other hand were a type of U.S navy uniform in 20s.

• Dungaree's are made of coarse thick 2/2 twill-weave cotton cloth, often colored blue. we think that dungarees and denims are made up of same jeans fabric isn't it guys?
  Dungaree is often compared to denim, but the two fabrics are colored in different ways, dungaree are made of yarn which is already colored, while denim is made from uncolored yarn and  colored after weaving.

dungrees are also called blue denims.

i have pared my dungaree with a Lycra sleeveless top. 

footwear: shimmer ocean blue wedges and red brown aviators.

i got this sexy chic dungaree from one of the street shop at ALCO market, very near to

bandra station, Mumbai only of 600 bugs. isn't that a cool deal guys?

Navratri

hey guys,

for the gujju's like us navratri is not over yet, the fever is still on.

today i will be posting about the one of the most celebrated festival of India.

NAVRATRI itself means - 9 days 

and for the same reason i will be posting 9 best navratri designer dresses.

the most pretty thing about this dress is the tie and dye dupatta in sky blue and purple color.

tie and dye is not a commodity it is an art form for most of the artists and is very easy to do guys u can do it yourself and beautify your simple clothes.

prints are my hot favorite they make you feel fresh in all seasons and this time navratri was full of prints. this pink and violet lehga is another fresh flowery printed one giving an extra addition factor to the dress.

Tip to remember: when your are wearing a printed lehga don't forget to keep your choli and dupatta plain else the focus will be divided from the lehga.

how about mixing your print with a plain white fabric. isn't this piece looks different and gorgeous.

now this is my personal favorite from the collection. what is navratri without mirror work and the classic red yellow combination? 

here mirror work is used in the choli and the edge of lehga and dupatta to give the lace effect. truly a blessed customized dress.

enough of spring flowery prints here we look to the future: (winters)

isn't this print giving you snow and autumn feeling for me it is signifying power and darkness at the same time. lovely black and white print with the best match sky blue dupatta.

basic info: sky blue was the color of navratri 2015. well used isn't?

looking at this two layer lehga the first thing reminds you is?

ofcorse deepika padukone from ramleela (right) 

this lehga is the beautiful blend of traditional style and modern design with cut work used as lace and the printed choli gives it an oomph factor.

some choli designs.

to give a sexy factor to your navratri dresses all you can do is making your back of choli bolder and hotter like in these designs.

this piece is fully the traditional navratri look.

the hand made embroidery using bright colors and mirror work with the traditional dusky jewellery makes a hit yet vintage garba look.

model: pooja bhandari
           vinita patel.

strong legs like footballers.

hey guys,

today i will tell you the information about the fitness i got to know from sachin thapa who is a national level football champ.

Football is the most played and most watched sport on earth

 More than 80% of the world’s footballs are manufactured in Pakistan.

Football players run an average of 9.65 kms during every game.

shoes: nike hyper venum 

The main attraction of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom is the upper, giving the boot a true “second skin” feel. Upon holding the shoe in your hands for the first time, you’ll notice the strange texturing, softness and flexibility of the upper.

T shirt- All Hearts (drifit): Nike it has pores which absorbs your sweat and doesn't make you uneasy.

Nike Pro Combat - its skin tight helps in movement and suports your body. This unique material is called “NikeSkin” and it is constructed from two main elements that are fused together. The first element of NikeSkin is made up of a thin, micro-mesh webbing, stitched in a honeycomb-like pattern, while the second element is made up from several thin, membrane-like layers of polyurethane. This material not only gives the boot a unique look, but also an incredible feel.

Nike T90 shorts  : Nike Total 90 is a brand of Nike sportswear and equipment first introduced in 2000, designed to be used for association football. The range consists mainly of shoes, shirts, and shorts, but also includes socks, shin guards, equipment bags, drink bottles, goalkeeper gloves, and balls. The Nike Total 90 range has now been replaced with Nike Hyper venom.

Nike hyper venum 

do you guys know 60% of the Nike's revenue earned from selling sport shoes.

The Nike swoosh (logo) is easily one of the most recognizable logos in the world.

Nike was founded by a sports coach and a runner.

The Nike name comes from the Greek goddess of victory, and it’s pronounced "ny'-kee." Nike's first employee, Jeff Johnson, came up with the name.

and Nike is the market leader and no. 1 brand among st all sports brands.

shoes: mercurial vapor from Nike. these are known for their lightweight so acceptable by a lot of sport persons.

 footballers have quite a lot of things we’d like. Exorbitant salaries. Legs that women love. sexy personalities and body.

So i think every guy would want those fit, strong legs.

”This circuit of leg exercises, geared towards strength development and injury prevention, works your glutes, quads, and hamstrings,”. Do it twice a week, but leave two days rest before a game. Take no rest between each exercise and perform the circuit three times, resting 90 seconds between each run through. Warm up for five minutes on a bike or cross trainer, then begin. You should be able to complete it in around 15 minutes.

1. Squats

Reps 6

Form First, place two small plates under your heels. "This reduces the pressure on your patellar tendon (heavily stressed during a football match), and also helps to isolate your quads," explains Miller. With a barbell resting on your upper back, squat down over four seconds until your posterior is level with your knees, then lift quickly over one second. Complete six consecutive reps without rest. Then go straight on to the next exercise.

On field boost Squats are critical for building pure lower limb strength and keeping you injury-free when the crunching tackles start flying in.

2. Walking lunges

Reps 12 each leg

Form Find some space in your gym and lunge continuously forward to complete twelve reps with each leg, holding two dumbbells at your sides. Keep your spine straight, take Ministry of Funny Walks-worthy giant strides, and make sure your trailing knee finishes level with your trailing ankle at the bottom of the rep before driving upwards explosively. Aim for two seconds of lowering into the lunge and one second bursting out of it and into the next rep.

On field boost Footballers are constantly accelerating and jumping off a single leg throughout a game. Walking lunges will improve your explosive speed, which translates to everything from more effective dashes down the wing to higher leaps when defending corners.

3. Dumbbell squats

Reps 25

Form Holding two dumbbells at your side and once again elevating your heels with two plates, complete 25 consecutive squats. Concentrate on maintaining a speedy tempo: aim to take no more than a second down to the bottom position and rise equally quickly. “Ideally, the lowest point of the movement should find your posterior just below parallel with your knees,” says Miller.

On field boost Where the barbell squats built pure leg strength, these will boost your endurance, providing the muscle stamina needed for that match-winning injury-time dash into the penalty box.

p.s: even if you are not a professional footballer, you can still have a sexy body like them.

take out some time and work out guys.

retail selling

hello guys,
Today's post is going to be a little informative specially for the MBA graduates going for a selling career in retailing.

Retail selling involves face-to-face communication between salespeople and customers in a retail business. Retail salespeople approach customers when they come in to a store, ask questions, listen to customer needs and make product or service recommendations. Selling is especially important in higher-end retail environments or in stores with complex solutions.

remember the most important word in retail selling is
C-R-E-W-S-A-D-E.

C- (comfort)  how you as a sales person could emphasis on the comfort aspects of the product?
R- (reliability)   how could you illustrate the reliability of the product to customer?
E- (ego)   how can you build in the prestige aspect of the product?
W- (worth)   how could you prove the worth of the product?
S- (safety)  how could you emphasis the safety aspect of the product?
A- (appearance)  how could you describe the appearance of the product to the customer and persue                                them to buy it         (example color, texture, materials etc.)
D- (durability)    how could you emphasis on the long lasting quality of the materials?
E- (elegance)     what are the style implications of the product?

have knowledge of these steps, follow it and you will be the best seller around.

The BEACH look for MEN.

here i present my first post for guys. i believe girls are not the only ones who loves to be trendy and stylish even guys should be well dressed all time.

usually guys prefer to be simple and doesn't believe in change but my type of guys are who mix and matches, have bold statements and love change and keep adding new colors and prints into their wardrobes.

 this is the beach look that i am going to describe

ANIMAL PRINT

ANIMAL PRINT is one print to die for.

Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as a Leopard, Cheetah, Zebra, Tiger,  African Wild Dog, Giraffe or monkey. 

Animal print is also used for room decoration, handbags and footwear and even some jewelry. A major difference between animal prints and fur clothing is that animal prints today very often use fake fur instead of animal coat.

 for examples i have worn this animal print and teemed it up with black heels and same animal print bangles.

 of course the selfie cant be missed out..

don't forget to paint your lips orange. that will glam you up.

A designer that could do justice with animal prints is surely one and only ROBERTO CAVALLI. don't forget to see his collection and trust me guys you will fall in love with this print.

FLORALS

this look will freshen you up 

JACKET: chemistry, check out the prints and silhouettes of chemistry http://www.chemistryindia.com/ i hope you like their prints too. this floral print jacket i loved it for the color combinations used in it.

i have teamed it up with a pink top and black velvet hot pants to complete the look.

love florals for the reason that you could pair florals with pastels, bold and any other color and shades or print on print is also a chic look. one more thing is i dont beleve the fact that florals could be worn only in summers i like them no matter what the season is. love yourself and the look that you carry thats more important then seasons and whether. go for it guys.

just a selfie show :p
