Your Best Picks in Shoes for Fall 2015

Irrespective of how genuinely fashionable and chic your outfit may be, you are never ready for an occasion without the right pair of shoes. Of course, most fashion following girls have their share of classics, but it makes sense to use the runway trends for creating new looks. In this very special feature, let’s talk of the best shoe trends that emerged from the top four fashion weeks with quick advice of how you can do more for less.

1_The rope detail



The “rope” detail: Call it inspired from erotic novels or anything else, use of bondage and tying details in shoes was one of the major hits for winter and fall 2015, and you have every reason to buy one. Some of the top designer houses, including 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs and Rebecca Minkoff, went for some really posh shades and added the ‘rope’ detailing to create sensuous designs. If you cannot get direct designer shoes, you will find quite a few options in online stores and flea market for much lesser prices.

2_The furry affair

The furry affair: Like it or not, fur emerged as one of the biggest trends for fall 2015, and the trend is just right for the winters too. Fur is not the right thing for many, which is quite understandable for the sheer fact that we are talking much on animal welfare. The good thing is that faux fur is extremely luxurious and gives the same effect as regular fur, so you have a lot to look for. For fur inspired designs, you can check Maison Margiela, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci. Make sure that you go for a balance between bright shades and regular basics, so that you have a lot to choose from.

3_Chunky funky heels

Chunky, funky heels: The heels for winter 2015 are likeable in a weird way, with some very unique designs coming straight on the runways. Most designers have taken the concept of ‘future shoes’ a tad too far, and we are just loving the results. Some of the top designs came from Christian Dior, Simone Rocha and Monique Lhuillier, but that not’s the end of the list. Practically this is one trend that wouldn’t mind investing in the real sense, because you only see this stuff only in designer stores and there is a sense of experiment and class that goes hand in hand.

4_Cut-out boots

While there were quite a few things in shoes that deserved a mention probably, but it makes sense to talk to the most practical ideas, so that more readers can connect. One of these ideas was the cut-out boots, which also made a mark for all the right reasons. Designers to check include Elie Saab, Julien Macdonald and Marni.

Happy shopping for the winters and hope you have a warm one!

Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
