An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy.
-RALPH WALDO EMERSON

What better way to cope with the rising temperatures than to spend time at the beach? While it is a great way to flaunt your flawless figure, it is also a great way to relax and rejuvenate.  But, you need to take some important measures to make sure that your fulfilled outing does not turn into an agonizing experience.

1. Be true to yourself

Don’t choose a hairstyle that makes you feel not yourself. Brides often get pressured into certain styles because of “tradition”. If a particular style makes you feel uneasy, don’t choose it. It does not matter that your mother, best friend or hairstylist like it - what really matters is YOU.

2. Develop a clear idea

Before going to the stylist, try to develop a good idea of what type of hairstyle you would like. Cut out the pictures of your favorite hairstyles from magazines and bring them to the stylist. If you can’t find any pictures, be prepared to describe exactly what you want.

Fashion and fads may be the drivers of many wardrobes and dressing styles, but today’s world provides a lot of space for individuality – that particular expression of your personality that translates as your own style. The way you wear your clothes, your accessories and personal effects, your speech mannerisms – all are elements of a style of your own. For most of us, this is nothing but a modification of present fashionable standards to suit ourselves. But for some, it is a completely unique presentation of their assets and attributes.

However, you don’t have to become a glaringly ‘different’ rebel in order to have a personal style that is distinct, yet pleasing and acceptable to most people. In fact, personal style can be a combination of some perfectly ordinary things that all add up to something special only because of your ability to carry them off.

Till some time back, a wedding was more or less ‘women oriented’, where the focus of attention was on the bride and the other women of the household. Wedding shopping meant endless discussions on what sarees to buy, whether budgets would allow for matching jewellery, accessory shopping, and of course make-up. The men of the house, poor things, were the last of consideration. At best, they would wear a suit or a churidar-kurta, never mind if this made all the men in the family look alike.

But in the last decade or so, fashion for the men has gone through a radical change. The new wave of designers sweeping the Indian fashion scene have ensured that men now have a larger range. Sherwanis, kurtas, in zardosi, resham or chikan embroidery, in silk or other richly textured material.
