5 ways to pep up your style!

We all love to be stylish. To be appreciated and admired. 

It is easy to ape someone's style but creating a statement of your own is certainly a hard task. 

Hard but definitely not impossible.

To stand apart in the league of style the most important aspect is creating a fashion sense. Not just any fashion sense but a style that belongs to you. 

Just make sure that it suits your personality and aura. Style is suppose to enhance your appeal and not doll you up into something you are not.

In this post, I will share some ways in which you can get a little more peppy and lively through your style. 

As mentioned earlier, this may not suit everyone but if you are looking ahead to pep up your personality, you are at the right place. 

1)SMILING EAR TO EAR 

Most important! You can't look peppy if you keep up a straight or zombie face. 

Smiling is a statement in itself. Style comes later. A wonderful smile can brighten up anyone's day. It will make you appear not only peppy and stylish but also come across as a gracious and charming soul.  So if you are on the road to stand apart as lively, show your teeth baby. 

2)SUNGLASSES

The right pair of sunglasses is second most important asset to add up to your pep factor. 

I am surprised as to how people just end up buying sunglasses based on brand or superficial factors. Sunglasses are extremely important to make the other person understand where you stand in terms of style.

Shell in some money and buy a pair that adds up to your uniqueness. 

3) HAIRSTYLE

Hairstyle makes so much of a difference. If you wish to look peppy, not just your attire should match it up but your hairstyle too should speak for itself. 

Going in for lasers or short hair isn't necessary. In this case it should be but anything that enhances your aura and keeps you comfortable. 

4)COLOUR IT UP

The kind of colours you chose to wear determines a lot about your style quotient. 

Normally darker and fluorescents are considered apt for a peppier and lively version of you. Then again, depends on a lot of other factors too. Paler shades should however be avoided. The key here is sporting in an array of colours instead of safely playing with blacks or reds.  

5)ATTITUDE  IS THE KEY

This one is no brainer. Attitude undoubtedly makes all the difference. 

Be it the style you wish to carry or changes you decide to make.

If you are able to sport the right attitude, it would all fall into place. 

So give special attention to this one. 

In the end, being peppy is about staying happy and carefree.

Navigate safe! 3 products you should avoid buying online

Online market is the latest fad amongst shopaholics. Everyday we see new online shopping apps being launched and almost all the brands joining in the bandwagon of online shopping. 

This whole process of buying things is so interesting that most of us are unable to resist and have used one or the other app to buy things for ourselves or our loved ones. 

Its so heartening to see a plethora of products available online. Some of the items which are not easily available in the market can be very much seen on sites like amazon.com. 

Some of the popular ones have great delivery timings, the quick tracking details, amazing and prompt return policy, good discounts, decent variety and a lot of ease make shopping online so every trustworthy and secure.

Yet there are some hitches to this too. 

And as I always mention that we learn from experiences, more so from the bitter ones. 

Initially, I was a little skeptical about this whole fad of online shopping and ordering things. 

So I took baby steps at a time. At first, I began ordering just the books. I was impressed by the prompt delivery, good packing, cute bookmarks. 

Next came the turn of accessories and electronics. 

Well, buying electronics was a good move but I can't say the same for accessories. 

Only after I ordered certain cosmetics that I realised, Online sites are not 'jack of all trades' and safe navigation is needed. 

So, today I am here to give you a piece of advice on where to draw a line and where to steer clear of this amazing era of online buying. 

1)Cosmetics 

Agreed already that a lot of cosmetics which aren't so easily available especially in Indian market can be promptly found while navigating on online sites. More so, at luring and genuine prices. But I step in here to alert! 

Buying cosmetics online is an extremely bad idea.

 Why? One, the tones and shades, be it in case of lipsticks or foundation tend to differ on the screen and in real. Online companies too accept this fact and warn you. 

This could actually be suicidal in case you are ordering a foundation or compact powder etc. Where shade makes all the difference. 

Secondly, when you are buying cosmetics in the real market you can always compare the shades of different brands on your own skin and it does make a huge difference believe me. 

So no matter how good the deal, I advice you to avoid shopping for cosmetics online. 

2)Dress materials

Some of you may disagree but buying dress materials online hasn't lured me yet. 

Myntra.com does come close to trust with good brands selling wonderful products and prompt return policies but still, the kind of satisfaction you get trying on ten different dresses before buying one can't be achieved online. Also,lets accept that returning-ordering-returning gets quite tedious at times. 

3)Sunglasses

While buying watches or bags online is a good idea, I cannot say the same for sunglasses and spectacles too. The reason is clear, you need to really try the frames to know which one suits your facial features best. 

It may be a Dior or Ray Ban, uber sexy but that doesn't guarantee it to suit your face. 

Sounds sensible? 

Having said all that, both real and virtual have their pros and cons. 

It is for you to analyse and navigate safely. 

What are you thoughts and experiences about it? Do let me know. 

Enjoy shopping!
