The end of summer wind down has begun......
Soooo we've officially begun to bid farewell to summer.... now if only "Mr Summer " can also take his heat! For those going back to college and are on a shoestring budget, we want to offer you a few fashion suggestions:
1. layer layer layer.... remember tops (tank and t-shirts) can be worn layered and layering is still hot for fall.
2. Belts are great accessories, especially the wide ones; they can be worn with so many different outfits.
3. A few interchangeable pieces of jewelry accessories. Earrings, necklaces, rings or bracelets in either silver or gold (depending on what color tones you wear most). make sure they can be worn together as a set or separately; remember being eclectic works fine in fashion!
4. A basic denim jacket. For those days when there's a chill in the air or you want to look super fly!
5. A neutral colored/printed scarf to accessorize your outfits. There are many ways of tying one so get familiar with a few of the different ways, they can give you an entirely different look......
8. A hobo bag, one that can hold personal items along with your laptop. Once again metallics are still hot and can virtually go with any color tones.
9. A funky pair of hairpins or some sort of hair accessory; for those days when you don't like doing anything with your hair.
Hope this list helps guide you ........happy shopping!

A great pair of jeans! Jeans are very versatile and everyone must have a well fitting pair in their closet.
7. Comfortable pair of flats, with some embellishments. Metallics are still hot for the upcoming season and a bit of beading can go a long way.

India known for it's textile industry, but more importantly India is also known for its jewelry. For thousands of years Indian jewelry has consisted of rich metal tones and colors such as a brilliant yellow gold and a plethora of gem toned stones like amethyst, ruby, emerald, turquoise, coral and so much more.
India's glorious history has affected each and every aspect of their lifestyle and has influenced styles and designs worldwide. It's colorful trends has been transported globally; you will be surprised to know that the history of Indian jewelry goes back to almost 5000 years. Since pre-historic times, people in India have had a penchant for adorning themselves with jewellery using the vibrant colored stones.

Change is in the air.....
You know, change is great! It gives a new energy and is a chance to review and renew for a fresh start......why am I talking about change?

It's the beach season, are you swimsuit ready?
Looking fabulous has never been so easy with an array of gorgeous swimsuits to suit every shape. If you are planning to beach this summer as I am, there will be a perfect swimsuit available.
The world of color in reference to swimsuits has come back with a vengence and those who know me know I love color. Fuchsia, purple and emerald green and jewel tones have proven to be big for summer as well as hues of blue.
Shapes for this season are varied with a move toward the 'anything goes' mentality. While bikinis are still most popular, although monokinis continue to be popular with the "young folks" or those who think they're young! One piece swimsuits are continuing to make a comeback across all ages and are now seen as stylish and elegant rather than dowdy and uninteresting. Finally people are giving one peices the credit they deserve!
Tankinis are always big sellers due to the fact they offer the wearer flexibility in being able to cover or expose their stomach area.
Those searching for a briefer look are turning towards bikinis with tie sides and bandeau tops.
Frills have been a huge trend on the runway this season, a look that has spilled over to clothing. The great advantage of frills on swimsuits in that it adds volume to areas that might need it, perfect for women with small busts or those looking to add a little size to their booty.
Other embellishments to look out for are metallic rings in various shapes and a smattering of beads or sequins in some collections.
For those not wanting their swimsuits in basic block colors there are quite a few prints around this season. Animal prints continue to be big popular especially zebra & leopard prints, worn by those who can and don't mind standing out in a crowd.
Don't forget your beaching accessories, must haves including shades, a cover up, a dress, sandals etc. All that will ensure you enjoy your beaching season with confidence! This way everyone will think you are the most fashionable person on the beach.
Happy beaching!
