HOW TO PACK SMART
The trick to packing smart is to travel light. While it isn’t possible to take along your entire wardrobe when travelling, or carry a whole range of shadows and lipsticks, a few simple tips can ensure you’re always at your stylish best.
The key to selecting travel clothes is interchangeability. Ensure that your tops and bottoms pair well in every combination. Stick with simple and classic styles and choose a neutral colour scheme for your wardrobe.
Opt for fabrics that behave and are low- maintainence. Leave your linens and cottons home. Travel in synthetic blends that don’t wrinkle. Some of the staples items you need are a LBD, white shirt, a pair of denims, a blazer, a cashmere cardigan and neutral colour pumps and flats. Reversible skirts are great as well since they can be repeated with different tops. A small trinket box is a must. Select a couple of jewellery items that can be paired with all your ensembles. Travel smart and look great on your next vacation.
Women’s love for hair jewellery goes way back, and this season haute hair accessories are scorching the ramp. Yves Saint Laurent, Elie Tahari and Fendi, each have their own take on it. Most recently, these accessories were showcased in the exhibit of Chanel Metiers D’ Art Paris Bombay Collection.
These days, hair baubles are available in countless styles. With such a wide array, choosing the right hair accessory can often be tricky. It can either end up falling flat, or clash completely with your attire and get too much unwanted attention.
A dainty headband is a simple yet fashionable choice. To channel the flower child in you, opt for flower hair clips, reminiscent of the groovy 70s. When in doubt about how to use the accessory, always remember that less is more.
The key to choosing the perfect hair accessory is to find the one that complements you well and enhances your style quotient instead of cramping it. Also, take into consideration what’s appropriate for the occasion. From gaudy to glizty, it’s time you went haute with your hair.
