    Shirt dresses add a hint of casual coolness and the contrasting feminine flair to an ensemble. We recommend this forest green, floral print shift dress from Koovs. This crisp shade has been a huge runway favourite this season and what are summers without florals? Pair it up with a pair of black stilettos or with a pair of flats to complement the look.

    A classic round dial, leather strap watch never goes out of style, add a timeless piece to your outfit and complete the look with just a collar tip. Collar tips are one of the chicest accessories and they instantly add glamour to any subtle outfit. You can also wear a belt to make the outfit look more formal.

    Spray some Toni and Guy Sea Salt spray to add a little texture and body to your hair as this humid weather tends to flatten the hair. Throw in an elegant hat and sunglasses to shade yourself from the sun and VOILA… you are all set to rock this classic look.

  • 7 awesome things one must do in Goa!

    7 awesome things one must do in Goa!

    All of us need a break every now and then from the city’s hustle bustle and there is no better destination in India than Goa for that time away. The sound of the waves and the aroma of all the seafood along with that chilled glass of beer promises to relax your mind and soul! But, but, BUT your Goa vacation would be incomplete if you don’t (or haven’t yet) done the following things.

    Here’s a list of 7 awesome things one must do in Goa!

    1. Morning drinking

    Everybody loves to grab a drink when the sun goes down in Goa. But have you ever tried having a drink when the sun comes up? As funny as it may sound, believe us; it is something you have to try!

    1

    2. Experiment with clothes

    Everyone has certain clothes in their wardrobes which they bought in the past but never dared to wear. How about giving them a shot in a city where there’s no one to judge you on what you’re wearing!

    2

    3. Street shopping

    Chuck the branded stuff and experiment with street wear! All the flea markets in Goa will surely leave you mesmerised!

    3

    4. Learn how to ride a bike

    Just the thrill of riding a two-wheeler on those narrow roads while escaping all the traffic gives a different feeling all together.

    4

    5. Goan cuisine

    Listen to us – DO NOT stick to your stereotypes when it comes to food. Try a new dish every time you step out to eat (but don’t forget to carry digestive pills with you just in case!).

    5

    6. Experience the solitude

    Goa is one of the best places in India to be with friends. But don’t forget to take some time out for yourself as you sit by the beach and listen to the wonderful waves!

    6

    7. Aqua therapy

    Aquatic therapy is a scientifically proven way of combining relaxation and fitness. It’ll be just silly if you don’t indulge in some pool games or water sports with your friends and family while you’re in Goa. Make use of the facilities available at your disposal and come back feeling light and calm.

  • Asian food indulgence at Chi Asian Cookhouse now in Janpath

    Asian food indulgence at Chi Asian Cookhouse now in Janpath

    There are now many restaurants in Delhi offering great Asian food, and they are only getting better. Thank people with open mindsets and taste palettes along with an ever-increasing sense of competition to win over the hearts of Delhiites, known for taking their food very damn seriously.

    Offering Pan-Asian food in the most accessible part of the city, Janpath, now is Chi Asian Cookhouse; a reinvention of Chi Kitchen & Bar (at Select Citywalk Mall, Saket). For those who love digging into real Asian food, this place is a must-visit. What’s great about the place is that it does not offer fusion-Asian and the place isn’t decked with the colour red or the obvious Chinese motifs that really just distract you from enjoying the real taste of the food.

    Chi Asian Cookhouse, Janapth (2)

    Their food menu offers salads, soups, skewers, oriental roasts, dimsums, crisps, pancakes & rolls and some more main dishes. Gone are the days when one placed food orders following a script starting with soup & salad, moving on to the starters followed by the rest, which is why we ordered the dimsums first. Since we haven’t been to many places offering good prawn dimsums in Delhi, we ordered that first and didn’t regret the decision at all. Soft on the outside and just the perfect amount of crisp on the inside their ‘Prawn Cheung Fun’ was exactly what we were looking for. The dark soy sauce served with added just the right flavour to it.

    IMG_9232

    Prawn Cheung Fun

    The ‘Ho Chi Minh Grilled Chicken Satay’ (chicken skewers seasoned with chilli and lemon leaf) and the ‘Cho Ca Thang’ (Vietnamese fish skewers served with turmeric and dill) were the starters. The chicken was slightly over done but the garlic sauce paired with it made up for the dry taste.

    FullSizeRender (2)

    Cho Ca Thang

    If you’re a fan of curry, then you must definitely order the ‘Cheating Chilli Prawns’ served in a tangy yet very chilli sauce. Order the aromatic rice to go with them, we’d recommend the ‘Roast Garlic and Coriander’ rice. Finish off with the warm coconut pancakes served with vanilla ice cream, topped with an orange drizzle and thank us later.

  • Say goodbye to split ends with these easy tips and tricks

    Say goodbye to split ends with these easy tips and tricks

    Split ends are a common problem and unfortunately we all have to deal with it.  The leading cause for split ends is the hair shaft losing its natural moisture making the strands split. Take a look at this informative picture for some amazing tips and tricks to bid adieu to split ends!

    abf60a39c44fc6f10a0bb3b1b678bdd3

    1) Get a Trim

    The best way to avoid split ends is to get your hair trimmed on a regular basis.

    2) Beat the Heat

    Styling hair can cause major split ends but that doesn’t mean that you have to stop straightening or blow drying your hair. All you have to do is limit how much heat you subject to your tresses. Nowadays there are hair stylers that have adjustable heat levels that work right on fleek without damaging your hair.

    Even hot water showers strip away the moisture off the hair so make sure you always rinse your hair with cool water at the end of every shower.

    3) Shampoo & condition correctly

     Most of the times when we shampoo we tend to over wash our hair and apply too much shampoo even at the ends. We even apply a lot of conditioner to the roots which makes them greasy in less than a day. One should always shampoo the roots and apply conditioner on the length of the hair.

    4) Comb it out

    Always use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your tresses. Hair tends to break and split more when it’s wet.

    The most effective way to get rid of split ends is to get them cut at regular intervals especially for women trying to grow their length. Lack of proper nutrition and moisture can also worsen your hair’s health and continue splitting up to the length of your hair.

    Here are few home remedies to get rid of split ends.

    Remedy 1- Egg Mask

    Whisk an egg yolk with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply it on damp hair and leave it for 30 minutes. Shampoo your hair the usual way.

    split-inpost

    Remedy 2- Mayonnaise Mask

    Towel dry wet hair and apply half a cup of mayonnaise to your hair. Keep it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it out and shampoo your hair the usual way.

  • Aaron Paul wants to treat Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift over coffee and pancakes! Here’s why

    Aaron Paul wants to treat Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift over coffee and pancakes! Here’s why

    Everyone knows what the beef between Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj was all about. But for those who missed out, it all started on Twitter when Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’ got nominated for the ‘Video of the Year’ at the VMA’s. Things were fine until Nicki Minaj tweeted something around the lines, “Black woman are rarely rewarded” because her single ‘Anaconda’ which was a massive hit wasn’t nominated for the same category.  

    Their beef actually had a trail of tweets by the singers along with their fans from around the world but nobody expected Aaron Paul to jump in with a perfect way to mend things between both the divas. And what followed was even more AWESOME! Take a look!

  • 11 suit commandments every man should follow!

    11 suit commandments every man should follow!

    Formal dressing can be a bit of a pain for some, but donning that perfect ensemble with just the right accessories can make any man look dapper. Sir Barney Stinson once said – “Suit up!” (We recommend staying away from the ducky tie).

    And with the right details in the right place you can make heads turn. For those who are not too sure about the ‘details’ we’re talking about here; take a look at this set of eleven suit commandments every man should follow!

     

    1. Thou shalt always wear a tie with the exact same lapel as the size of your tie.

    An uneven tie represents all the wrong things with your suit. Make sure your tie is in a darker shade than your shirt so it stands out!

    2.Thou shalt wear cufflinks that are visible even with a jacket over your shirt.

    Cufflinks are cool and classy. Make sure your shirt’s sleeve is a little longer than your jacket’s, so the cufflinks are visible. Keep experimenting with various designs of cufflinks and keep it fresh.

    3. Thou shalt invest in double breasted jackets!

    Double breasted jackets are much cooler than the traditional ones. They’re fashionable and make a statement with the perfect fit adding to your dapper look!

    4. Thou shalt match your accessories!

    Make sure your shoes go well with your belt. You don’t want to be the “funny guy” for the wrong reasons.

    5. Thou shalt invest in a tailored suit.

    You and your suit will only look good together if it’s a perfect fit. If you’re buying yourself a pre-stitched suit make sure you check the comfort and size from your shoulders. Remember, if it’s not comfortable, it’s not worth it.

    6. Thou shalt wear a contrasting pocket square.

    A pocket square is your attention grabbing device. Be creative with it, experimentation is the key to style.  Do not, we repeat DO NOT match your pocket square with your shirt.

    7. Thou shalt not button your three-piece suit.

    If you’re wearing a three-piece suit, make sure you don’t button the jacket, keep the vest buttoned-up. Almost every man breaks this silent rule and not everyone can pull it off.

    bda9eacf24e636ba2dfe03afdd741197

    Source 

    8. Thou shalt invest in matching socks. 

    Your socks should be matching and long enough to cover your legs when you sit down. Plain solid coloured socks are passé. Get printed socks to make your look even better!

    purpose-socks-and-blue-suit

     Source

    9. Thou shalt position your tie perfectly!

    Your tie should be touching the waistband or can be slightly short. But refrain from making it too long or too short. Remember, an ill-looking tie spoils the entire show.

    10. Thou shalt open your jacket while sitting.

    When sitting, unbutton your jacket to prevent it from being ruined.

    11. Thou shalt invest in double vented jackets.

    Single vents on jackets are too old fashioned. Double vents are slightly more comfortable and look cooler!

    8 Reasons to love Selena Gomez on her 23rd birthday

    We have loved Selena Gomez since the first time she came on-screen on Wizards of Waverly Place in 2008 and her evolution from the cute Disney kid to a Hollywood star has been inspiring to say the least.

  • Problems every Delhiite faces on a normal day

    Problems every Delhiite faces on a normal day

    There’s no two ways about the fact that Delhiites are very proud of the city they live in. They have great malls to shop at and amazing places to eat at but like every other place in the world, Delhi comes with its own set of problems too. Don’t believe us? Take a look at these few problems every Delhiite faces on a normal day, well almost.

    #1) Traffic

    Every Delhiite is aware of what’s coming their way when they leave their workplace or home. Delhi traffic has killed more plans than a sudden change in weather. 

    04-incredible-in-car- (1)

    Source 

    #2 Pollution

    That moment when you step out of your car and breathe in a fresh whiff of air only to realise that you are choking on an LIIT of various toxic gases in the air.

    giphySource

    #3 Parking

    Delhiites loves their vehicles whether it’s a bike or a car. But, things get real when you realise that there is no place to leave them other than the reserved parking spot outside your house. And this problem starts before you start working, early on in the day paving way for the other problems that are waiting for you.

    #4 Driving

    This is what Delhi is known for, its reckless way of driving.  To hell with the traffic lights and the brakes we have in our vehicles. Till the time you haven’t pissed someone off on the road, you haven’t done it right. 

    giphy (1)Source 

    #5 Basic etiquettes

    Most Delhiites have forgetten the meaning of basic etiquettes like holding the door open for the person behind you, or letting pedestrians cross the road first. It’s more like quid pro quo here. People are too busy (sometimes scared) to help the needy. 

    tumblr_mbradrp1gg1qbgu0jo1_500Source

    #6 Eve-teasing

    Walk around with your female friend at the busiest, most chilled out places Delhi has to offer and chances are you will hear a voice singing a cheap song for her. That’s when you know, Delhi has welcomed you.

    128672_oSource

    #7 Encountering the age old “Jaanta Hai Mera Baap Kaun Hai?” type of people

    This breed of egoistic morons is very easy to find. Just bump up into someone’s vehicle and that’s it. 

    giphy (2)Source 

    #8 The Delhi Metro

    We like people. Having them around is nice. But travelling in the Delhi Metro is an experience on its own. We take pride in the fact that Delhi has an amazing system for public transport but the pushing, the stepping on each other’s feet and not maintaining the right distance with your fellow passengers makes it slightly unpleasant.

    giphy (3)Source 

    #9 Arguing with the Autowalas

    If you think it’s easier for Delhiites to travel, sorry to break this to you, it isn’t true. Many people prefer auto over other means of transport but it’s not always easy to find a ride home that too at a reasonable price. One has to argue till they drop and at times, pay more than they are supposed to.

    #10 The night life
