Fashion Tabu

Since time immemorial, colours have expressed themselves in the form of art and painting.

If clothes have perspiration smell, dry clean them before storing them away and remember to give them only to a trusted launderer.

Have a colourful wardrobe because colour is like food for the spirit and its not addictive or fattening.

To remove oil stain, dip clothes in a solution of washing soda in hot water and clean with soap. You can alternately rub talcum powder into the stain. Place cloth between two layers of blotting paper. Press with warm iron.

When you wear your clothes with the right attitude, there is no way it won't work for you.

To remove fresh ink stains, apply soap to the stain. Dip in lukewarm water for sometime and wash away the stain.

When you go shopping, wear simple clothes and avoid heavy accessories that can slow you down or catch on the clothes you are trying on.

We must go bold and bright with floral prints this season.

If you are bottom heavy, balance the look by wearing a geometric printed top with a solid coloured bottom or vice versa, to keep focus on your best features.

  Cotton is preferred in summer because it absorbs the moisture from your body and keeps the skin feeling cool and fresh.

Polka dots are comical when large, demure when tiny, they are best used sparingly as they can attract a lot of attention.

When you buy beauty products, check on the expiry date. Do not buy the product even if it is being offered very cheap. Some ingredients that are  used in such cosmetics can be detrimental to your health.

Be comfortable with who and what you are. Never ever try to change and be like anyone else.

Neon yellows and greens are for those with a dark skin tone while the fairer ones can opt for neon pink or purple.

Stripes are a rage this summer. Whether horizontal, vertical or diagonal, you can't go wrong with stripes.

Though big handbags are useful when you go shopping or travelling, they can cause neck pain or back pain if they become too heavy.

As always, black and white fashions continue to defy time, and keep their well earned place as big color trends for spring and summer of 2013.
