Wearing a deep-cut back, a backless dress or a bare-back choli has always
been reigning high on the wedding fashion scene. And, if you too are
thinking about adding this trend to your wedding trousseau, then you
cannot miss out on having a polished, clean and glowing back. After all,
a flawless back will make your outfit look sexier! But, let’s face
it, not everyone is blessed with a flawless and stunning back.
Thankfully,
with the right beauty rituals, you can achieve a gorgeous back with
crazy confidence in no time. We suggest you read on some amazing beauty
tips, including some simple home remedies for a radiant back.
1. Give your back a good brushing
Cleansing is a must. It helps to get rid of oil clog, dirt and
pollutants, which can lead to breakouts. So, grab a loofah or a textured
brush that has a handle on it and start unclogging your pores. If you
have acne on your back, then use some acne wash that contains benzoyl
peroxide. Perform this skin-smoothening routine thrice in a week to
beautify the skin on your back and to flaunt it proudly.
2. Scrub it up
Scrubs are very important for your skin; they help to keep your skin
soft, smooth and radiant. This is something you would truly want if you
are planning to don a backless choli for your wedding, or are
packing some hot backless dresses for your honeymoon! So, scrub your
back every alternate day to keep it clear of spots and blackheads.
3. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise!
After you cleanse and scrub your back, do not forget to apply some
moisturiser on it. You don’t need some fancy moisturising products for
it. Apply baby oil or your regular cream, before getting out of the
shower and see for yourself how that moisturiser sets in gorgeously.
4. Makeup wonders
If you are ready to don your backless dress, here is something more that
you should keep in mind before leaving from your home. Just dab on some
water-proof body foundation followed by a compact powder and rock that
sexy backless look! If you are looking for a glowing back, use a gold
foundation that gives a shimmering effect.

Tell me what is common between all the bollywood divas like Deepika
Padukone, Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, Zareen Khan, Sushmita Sen, Dia
Mirza, Karisma Kapoor? Well, when these ladies go up for public
appearance in ethnic wear – most of the times what they choose to wear
is Anarkali Suits.
Anarkali Suits made their comeback in late 2012 and
since then, they have been rocking the fashion show ramps. Almost every
bollywood diva have sported the Anarkali look. Moreover, all the
marriages this season have been flooded by Anarkalis. Even Sarees have
got tough competition from Anarkali Suitsand that’s why, I, Sneh found it really necessary to see what’s the story behind Anarkali Suits.
You want to know? KEEP READING!
Well, let me start from what an Anarkali Suit
actually is?
An Anarkali Suit is a combination of a long kurta and
bottoms that are usually in the form of churidaar. The length of the
kurta varies according to a person’s choice. Nowadays, floor length
Anarkali Suits are in trend. The kurta is fitted on the bust and have
long plates just like an umbrella. I remember, my mom used to call these
umbrella suits and I had one of orange color when I was in 6th
standard.
Did you ever think where the name came from?
Well, Anarkali which actually means pomegranate blossom was a
legendary slave girl from Lahore (Pakistan) during the empire of Akbar.
She was dancer at the palace of the great Mughal Emperor Jalaluddin
Akbar. It is said that the eldest son of Akbar – Salim fell in love
with Anarkali and when the emperor came to know about this, he ordered
to bury Anarkali alive for having a relationship with his son. But due
to the lack of evidence, some people call this as a false story but this
story is greatly believed by Bollywood.
At the time of Mughal Emperor Akbar, a
dance form called mujra was quite famous. Many famous dancers used to
dance at the palace of Mughal Kings. The dresses which were worn by the
mujra dancers at that time were known as mujra dresses. Later the name
got converted to Anarkali Dresses or Anarkali Suits in the rememberance
of the great dancer and a passionate love of Mughal time – Anarkali.
Latest designs of Anarkali Suits which are popular among the masses
involve floor length Anarkalis with different prints, materials,
embroidery, sleeves and designer and stylish necklines. Usually, Kameez
in Anarkali Suits is heavily embroidered. The upper portion of kameez
which could be roughly called as choli is completely embroidered with
the bottom highlighted with a heavy border. The blouse/choli have latest
designs and patterns on neck and on sleeves.
If you are thinking of buying an Anarkali Suit, you must keep in mind these tips:
Always team the Anarkali Suit with a tight chudidaar or cotton slacks. Its a big NO NO for salwars, harems and patialas.
Anarkali Suit should be less fitted at the bust. Show off your bust
with some other attire like Saree. Anarkalis are better for showing off a
good neckline.
Make sure your Floor length Anarkali Suit is not longer than the floor length.
If you have a heavy bust, don’t go with Chinese collars.
If you have slim to hourglass figure, go for heavy flares.
If the suit is heavily embroidered, go for light jewellery and vice versa.
It’s a unique festival, the likes of which are probably not found
anywhere else in the world. A boisterous yet colourful celebration of
the many myths, legends and deities associated with it. Holi is marked
as much by religious fever and devotion as it is by loud music,
traditional dances and of course the forceful scrubbing of bright gulal and abeer
on friends and relatives.
The colorful festival of Holi connects to the ancient deities
and the rituals of spring. The legend conveys deep meanings and symbolic
significance in celebrating the festival. According to the vaishnavas, the
evil King Hiranyakashupu along with his sister Holika tried to kill his
son, Prahlada who was devoted to Lord Vishnu. Holika was been given
boon by Lord Shiva that she is immune to fire. Thus, she took Prahlada
on her lap and sat on raging fire but the boon reflected on her and she
was burned to death while Prahlada came out alive. Thus, the name Holi
was derived from her name Holika, which means burning desires. Thus, a
bonfire is lit on the previous day of Holi to ward off evil.
Another legend says that Lord Krishna, whose skin is blue, was jealous
of Radha because of her fair skin. Thus, he coloured her face the same
as his to be equal. Many paintings and sculptures have depicted this.
Krishna throws colours and colorful water over Radha using pichkaris
which thereby evolved into Holi festival. So, during Holi everyone is
given equal importance and there is no bias between the rich and poor,
fair or dusky, young or old.
Traditionally, Holi is celebrated for 2 days. The previous day
bonfires are lit on the crossroads which is called as Holika Dahan.
To render gratefulness to the goddess of fire, Agni, people offer gram,
stalks, coconut, and popcorns from the harvest. The ashes of the fire
are applied on forehead so as to protect themselves from evil forces.
On the final day, children and adult take it out on streets with
complete madness and is stridently played by throwing around buckets of
colorful water called rang and gulal or dry color is
applied on each other’s face. Earlier, the colors were made using
natural elements like flowers and vegetables but now there made using
artificial elements and chemicals. Color dyed water is filled in
syringes called pichkaris and water filled balloons are shot over people.
Generally white sarees, salwaar kameez or kurtis
are worn for celebrating Holi. Most women are seen wearing plain
white chiffon saree so the colour doesn’t stick or embroidered one. Few
wear pure white salwaar kameez with multicolor dupatta or a simple white
kurti. The jewelry should be kept minimum and light like just dangling
earrings and vibrantly colored bangles. While men wears white shirt or
plain white kurta pajama complemented with a multicolor dupatta.
Many bollywood films have represented
Holi festival and there are so many songs based on the same. Not just in
movies, in real life as well many bollywood celebrities celebrate Holi.
In Baghban movie, Hema Malini, the dream girl is seen wearing beautiful
white chudidhar. While in Ram Leela movie, actresses Deepika Padukone
was seen sporting amazing white lehenga with black choli and red dupatta
and completed the look with attractive big chandbalis. This is the new
trend this Holi.
Go out and enjoy this Holi with natural colours so that they can be
cleaned easily and you don’t turn out as a mobile colour chart! Happy
Holi…
With the popularity of anarkali suits
and dresses, flares and sheer fabrics have become a new rage in ethnic
fashion. Today, the use of sheer and flimsy fabrics such as net, tissue,
and georgette is not just limited to the layers of an anarkali dress
but is being increasingly used for making sarees, lehengas, and even
evening gowns and other western dresses.
The trend is getting hotter with the passing of the spring and
approaching summers. The flimsy and see through appeal of sheer fabrics
not just make one look sensuous but is also a great way to wear all your
favorite and vibrant colors in summers without appearing to be too loud
and garish.
Whether, you are naturally blessed with a beautiful complexion or
not, you can easily enhance your natural beauty with sheer and semi
fabrics. Sheer layers over velvet and satin in an anarkali dress can
easily make your persona glow with glory and beauty. However, if
you are looking to flaunt your natural beauty, there is no other better
way to show your skin with grace than by draping a semi transparent
chiffon saree over your sensual bare frame. Sheer fabrics when combined
with certain fabrics like velvet, organza, and silk can automatically
add royalty to not just your outfit but your personality as a
whole.
You can team up your sheer sarees with velvet or satin blouses and
petticoats for an imperial look for special and formal occasions. Such
combinations of fabrics are the best way to look sexy without appearing
vulgar and revealing too much.
So girls, it is time to dump the denims and leather pants and get dressy
with sheer fabrics in ethnic wear to look smart, feminine and sexy.
Most of the women in India whether from poorest to richest, weakest to most powerful prefer salwar suit or saree.
But when it is turn to impress Indian or south Asian community for
royal family of England or politicians around the world, they prefer
Salwar suit or Saree. So if you think this outfit is not for you,

Indian dresses have always found favor
with females across the globe; whether it is our very own naturally
beautiful Indian women or female tourists who come on holidays here, you
will always find them looking for a traditional ensemble to add to
their wardrobe.
And why not, Indian dresses are a
perfect combination of colors, cultures, heritage and tradition. Be it Kurtis, saris, or the all-time favorite salwar kameez,
Indian attire is simply elegant. Before you embark on your quest to
adorn these, we have put together some tips for you on how to look
beautiful in Indian dresses. Read on to know more:
1. First and foremost thing to be borne in mind is that you choose a fabric
and design according to your body shape and volume. So if you have a
slightly bulky frame, it is best to avoid too many layers or frills in
your dress. Likewise, women with a petite body frame can opt for layered
clothing that adds volume to the overall look. The idea here it to wear
what suits your best. If you are not sure, you can always go and
consult an expert or your tailor and know what will fit best according
to your body.
2. If we talk of Kurtis, they are a huge hit these days for both the
corporate look as well as casual outings. Choose fabrics such as cotton
which are easy on the skin. Also, make sure that you go in for Kurtis
that are slightly loose fitting. Body hugging Kurtis are a strict no-no
if you want to look beautiful in Indian dresses.
3. Any salwar or churidaar that you pair with a kurti should be narrow in
fit. This is the perfect way to tone down your waist size. Moreover, a
narrow bottom is a great way to complement the slightly loose-fitting
kurti that you wear so often. Combine both of them and you are on your
way to look gorgeous in your traditional attire.
4. How can we forget the ever charming sari when we talk of an Indian
woman’s wardrobe?
Saree come in myriad hues and styles. You can go in for fabrics such as Silk, Georgette,
and Crepe which are comfortable as well as elegant. Team your sari
with the perfect petticoat and blouse that accentuate the right areas
and camouflage the slightly heavier ones. If you want to look beautiful
in Indian dresses, saris are your best bet any day!
5. All this said and done, we can never undermine the importance of the
right accessories and footwear when it comes to traditional Indian
clothing. Choose jewelry that complements the outfit; if you are going
with heavy earrings, then keep the neck piece minimalistic, or even
consider not wearing it at all. Bangles go really well with Indian
outfits. Talking of footwear, stilettos go well with saree and churidaar.
If you are tall, then you can go in for traditional juttis or flat
sandals which come in a multitude of designs these days.
