Figure Flattering Runway trends



You do not need to have a body to die for to look fab in those runway inspired outfits! Some runway trends can be translated into a look you can carry off in your every day life. Here are a few trends that flatter any body shape and make you look every bit the fashion diva.

The monochrome is one trend that will make you look long and lean without compromising your curves. A win-win! This trend works not only for an all black ensemble but also for bright and bold colors. The little black belt that cinches at the waist can add dramatic curves and makes for an instant slimming solution.
An elongated V-neck adds length to your torso making you look lean and also gets you a lot of attention. Color blocking is an ingenious way to drag attention away from the areas you want to. Panels of a darker shade along the body make you appear smaller.

Layering is another way to hide those not so flattering bumps! It also adds a look of sophisticated glamour to your every day outfit. If you are feeling a little bold you can also try accentuating your shape with a dress with sheer paneling. This creates an optical illusion that enhances your hourglass shape.


So ladies, incorporate these chic runway trends and up your fashion quotient.

Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist Nail Polish


Okay first of all let me tell you this is my new favourite formula of polishes. These are SOOO good ! Im not even the kind of girl who gushes and goes like ‘OMG you guys, that lip balm was AHMAZING it changed my LIIFEE ‘  types but these really are ! They are super super glossy, opaque in two coats and they maintain their uber glossyness over the course of 4 days. There is also something super fun about applying these- they have this gel like consistency that just spreads smoothly and you are done in a jiffy! You will see tip wear by Day 2-3 but these dont chip until Day 5 so if you are planning a trip going trekking or something – these Lakme Absolute Gel Stylists need to be stashed away  in your rucksack !
Coming to the color- its a regular, sheeny orangey red . The name tomato tango is pretty appropriate actually! I just think its the glossyness and finish that elevates this from a regular red polish to a stunning one. They also have a gorgeous neon pink in this which i tried on my trip to Mumbai for Lakme Fashion Week 2013 !

Recommendation: These Lakme Absolute Gel Stylists have a super finish, are super glossy and last over 4 days with minimal tip wear. I really like these polishes, and though i definitely think they could have been priced more competitively (You get OPI for 80 bucks more), i have to give credit where due. These are pretty great, even though the glossyness can become dull after 4 days…most polishes dont even last 4 days so yay!
