Getting comfortable shopping for your Body Shape

I love the shape of my body. I think I am lucky to have a pear body shape which means my torso and upper body is smaller than my hips with a defined waist. However I too tend to crib at times about my heavy hips and thighs(it's human nature so it's not odd to do that) but overall I prefer my body shape to other body shapes. Body shape plays a huge role in how an outfit will fit you. Whether you wear a size S or a size L, it's not just about your size but also about your body shape which determines what suits you best. So while something may look really good on someone, it could make someone with a different body shape look really shabby. Some people are aware of this, but the others keep only size in mind as brands do not provide the information on fit and what will look good on you. The ignorance is mainly because consumers are not educated by the brands with the requisite information on body shape and fits, as brands tend to provide information only on sizes. Hence in India being size 0 or XS/XXS is such a huge aspiration for most young girls who just let size determine their thought processes. My advice - be fit, know your body shape and dress accordingly and you don't really need to be bothered about your size because end of the day you can't change your body shape how many ever sizes you try to drop. In a lot of cases, your body shape and bone structure will never let you become a size 0 how many ever sizes you try to drop. A little secret I am letting you in on - I felt the most unhealthy when I became a size 0(since I am petite, I could achieve it), and a size 2 and a size 4 not only felt better but mentally made me feel healthier and fitter too :)

MAX Women's Day Out - Makeover Magic - 10th September 2014

MAX Women's Day Out may be over for the month at the moment but everyone I know who attended it, is looking forward to the next round. I hope you ladies made the most of it on 10th September after my previous post on it. If you didn't, then you missed out on some really awesome pampering, mainly their 'Makeovers' and the fiesta that it was for the ladies!

For those of you who are reading about this for the first time, check out this video to know what all Max had in store for its ladies!




Women who participated in the activities had the current collection to choose from for their makeovers. The current collection comprises of the Autumn’14 collection, a prelude to the festive season.

• The Folklore range witnesses a fusion of culture and tradition through folkloric prints and patterns.
• Earthy accents in cross stitch embroideries and paisley motifs, create the Boho Autumn look. Printed leggings, border printed tops and placement graphics, merge historical techniques and aesthetics with a modern twist. 
• A key ingredient in the season’s fashion delicacy is Monochromes. Wear luxurious soft, silky polyester crepes and georgettes over printed satin stretch pants for the solid or pattern clash look.
• The ethnic Tavisha range created quite a buzz with its extensive offerings. Right from contemporary sets in bright and light prints enhanced with embroideries to a special red and white collection to brighten up your Durga puja, using blends of block prints and embroideries along with cuts ranging from an Anarkali to A-line, it has the works. You can also see the existence of themes such as baroque sentiments and colour block.
