It’s a bit of a cliché, but New Year’s Eve really does tend to be one of the best parties of the year.  At the same time, most people accept that Christmas Eve is actually a better night to go out, but that tends to be because people are conscious of the fact they need to be awake and ready for family festivities the next day, so are more relaxed rather than in full on party mode. Yet, the same level of effort doesn’t go into getting dressed for a Christmas Eve party; the focus is 100% on New Year’s Eve.
With that in mind, we’ve looked at some of the best dress brands for women to choose when planning their New Year’s Eve outfits.

Quontum



Quontum dresses were huge a year or two ago. No, they haven’t fallen off the fashion radar, it is just that the brand has stopped getting the column inches they once were now that most women are aware of it.

For those who aren’t yet in the know, a Quontum dress combines the hallmarks of the classic little black dress with neon strips and a secret material blend to pull in any unflattering areas of your body and make you look incredible all while boosting your confidence. The perfect party dress in so many ways!



Alexander McQueen

If you have an increased budget and are able to go designer for New Year’s Eve 2013-14, then Alexander McQueen is likely to be the best choice you can make. The reason is simply that you have a wide variety of styles and colours you can potentially choose from and ensure that you look different from everyone else.
The price of a McQueen could be a downside, however, so it is not recommended that you wear one if you are travelling to an outdoor party in a city centre, for example, as the chances of rain and stray drinks are considerably higher. If you’re going to a cocktail party in a classy bar, then get buying!


Henry Holland

Henry Holland is a young and still emerging designer who has already made a name for himself in the United Kingdom, primarily through his partnership with the popular Debenhams department store. If you’re looking for something young, chic, and probably featuring an animal or a unique print, then Holland is the way to go. H! by Henry Holland is his quirkiest label, although there are some great pieces to be found in his House of Holland label, too.



Ben de Lisi

If you’re looking for something with a designer feel but want your spending to be in double rather than triple digits, then you can do a lot worse than get your New Year’s Eve dress from Ben de Lisi. If you’re the sort of girl who likes to keep her fashion simple, then this is a great label for you to use, as it predominantly focuses on relaxed fits that will leave you feeling sassy and confident, and the great prices mean it isn’t a disaster if you do come into contact with nasty weather or a stray drink!

Go “Neon” this festive season and dazzle the world around you in‘Bollywood Style’.
 
Going elegantly traditional during festivals is a not just a norm in many households but it’s also an evergreen way to look your best. Even designers swear by traditional attires, especially sarees, and classify them as perfect for the festivities. Saree undoubtedly has always been and till date is an eternal garment given to its versatility and uniqueness that allows transitions in the style that it is adorned in. When it comes to being sensuous but with grace and elegance, Saree sure is a hit with all, regardless of age and occasion.
 
Talk about experimentation and this six-yard garment has immense scope providing options to come up with a distinct look every time. Numerous different saree trends were seen this year itself, hottest amongst which were neon coloured sarees. It is most sought after by the Indian designers and is totally in vogue these days, and why not? Adding a splash of neon to any outfit does project a bold and zany attitude grabbing a lot of eye balls. Sarees in shocking shades of neon green, tangerine orange, acid yellow or hot pink really proved to be the fastest “glowing” trends this fashion-season.
 
Touch of Neon in Kareena’s Look
It’s a rage with the Bollywood community who have really embraced this trend. The chiffon saree look best in these sparkling neon colours. However, different fabric’s such as Silk, Faux Georgette,Semi Chiffonsareeswith patches of neon colours in them or totally in neon shades are also available for women who love to carry style in the ethnic sense.

You can pretty much go for a hallowed Kanjeevaram in electric colours or a neon yellow Banarasi silk saree with a deep blue border.Drape it in “Mumtaz style”, like a “Lehenga saree” or go for the regular “SeedhaPallu” look which anytime outnumbers any latest trend in saree draping hands down. Then there are ready-to-wear sarees which are again a hot seller amongst those who find it cumbersome to wear a saree.
 
 
There are no rules when wearing electric hues as it widely depends on one’s ability to pull off a look. If sarees in exuberant neons appear too ‘in-your-face’ to you then let these colours play hide n seek with you. Opt for designs with neon hues in the piping, border, embroidery threads or just in the finishing. Escalate the impact of shades of neon in your saree by teaming it up with blouse or accessory in pastels or neutrals of the same colour family.

Hello all, I am back with a new post that is a TAG post. You might have seen such TAGs done by almost all of the Youtubers. Riya from My Makeup and Beauty Vanity has tagged me to do the ‘This or That tag’. It was so sweet of her.

So here are my preferences. 

Makeup:
  • Blush or bronzer: blush, because I am not good in contouring!
  • Lip gloss or lipstick: lipstick because they covers up the dissimilar tones of my lips very efficiently. (P.S. – My upper lip is darker than the lower!)
  • Eye liner or mascara: eyeliner
  • Foundation or concealer: foundation
  • Neutral or color eyeshadow: neutral, but that choice depends on my mood totally! 
  • Pressed or loose eyeshadow: pressed eyeshadow

     Fashion:
  •      Jeans or sweat pants: jeans, jeans, jeans!
  •      Long sleeve or short: sleeveless 😛
  •      Dresses or skirts: dresses
  •      Stripes or plaid: stripes because vertical stripes make me look longer!
  •      Flip flops or sandals: sandals
  •      Scarves or hats: scarves, I need to flaunt my hair!!
  •      Studs or dangly earrings: studs
  •      Necklaces or bracelets: bracelets
  •      Heels or flats: flats
  •      Cowboy boots or riding boots: riding boots
  •      Forever 21 or Charlotte Ruse: F21 all the way!
  •      Sake 5th or Nordstrom: Never bought anything from them so can’t tell L

     Hair:
  •      Curly or straight: Wavy, like I have, but I can’t take my eyes off a person who has nice and healthy straight hair.
  •      Bun or ponytail: Both (mostly ponytail)
  •      Hair spray or gel: Hair spray
  •      Long or short: long
  •      Light or dark: dark
  •      Side swept bangs or full bangs: side wept ^_^
  •      Up or down: up

     Random:
  •      Rain or shine: shine, rain makes my heart gloomy (I can see you frowning!)
  •      Summer or winter: winter
  •      Fall or spring: fall (I love the fragrance it brings with it J)
  •      Chocolate or vanilla: chocolate (except ice-cream flavors)
  •      East coast or west coast: East! 

     So, that’s it. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. I tag each one of you. Do this tag post and let me know! I
     am planning to post very often, so keep checking my blog J

Hello girls, as I promised, I am back today. If you have read my previous post then you’ll know that I am doing a “Back-to-School” series on this blog throughout the month. I will post up to two posts each week. But as the first week has passed, there will be more than two posts on one week. I have arranged all the posts in a particular manner. The first post will be about fashion, the second will be beauty, third hair, fourth tips and trick and after that I will post about miscellaneous topic. I hope you understood what I tried to say. Thanks.
So here’s the first post about Back to School/College Fashion.
