Why settle for beige? Embrace the rainbow in your wardrobe and makeup

Why settle for beige? Embrace the colours in your wardrobe and makeup

Bright colours dominate beauty trends, with bold hues on lips, cheeks, and eyes. Designers’ Spring and Fall collections feature vibrant shades like wild strawberry and jungle green. Graphic cat eyes and colourful blushes enhance playful, youthful looks.

Forehead lines and Facebook stories: The unsolicited skincare advice I never asked for

Forehead lines and Facebook stories: The unsolicited skincare advice I never asked for

As I entered the second stage of life, my youthful glow faded, and forehead lines became prominent. A younger colleague’s Facebook Story hinted at adding retinol to my skincare routine. Retin A, discovered 30 years ago for acne, is now used to brighten skin and improve texture.

Dignity, self-expression, and fashion

Dignity, self-expression, and fashion

Clothes give definition to a person; they accentuate one’s personality. For me and most fashionistas I have known in life, fashion is not only about the runways; rather, it’s about the city streets and the village markets

M for magic; M for makeup!

It is 2 PM on a Tuesday afternoon, and I am elbow deep in a pan of loose, golden glitter. My entire family is either watching satellite TV or playing board games with no worries in the world. “Let them be," I tell myself, for I am busy experimenting with makeup.

Celebrating the colours of Falgun

Celebrating the colours of Falgun

Falgun is the time to feel your best. Everywhere around, flowers are blooming and people are more often than not, in jovial moods. The fashion game is also at its peak because the fashionistas have already stacked away their dull and dreary winter wear and stocking up on strikingly beautiful and equally bold fashion wear.

Spring, fresh blooms, and fashion

After a long hiatus, it became almost necessary for me to return. Begging winter to be over, I found an interesting way to do it. Force yourself to wear colourful clothes and bring out the vibes of spring — forceful maybe, but it works. Let’s cut out the confusion and dive straight into the fashion perspective.

Precious stones, precious meanings: Discover the stories behind gemstones

People wear gemstones for many reasons. For many, they hold special meanings — from devotion, and trust, to commitment. It is considered extremely romantic to receive or gift someone a precious stone with a special meaning attached to it. Here are some familiar stones and what they represent.

Brightening up our lives with bold hues

Brightening up our lives with bold hues

Even amidst the heat of summer, when you close your eyes. What do you see? We are sure, it’s nothing close to muted tones or low-key shades. It must be the other way round, bright blues of the sea, shades of orange that put the sun’s rays to shame and of course, the blood-red shades that represent closely with the different shades of fire.

MIXING UP with scarves

But this article is not about despondency; fashion and styling can never be about anything but excitement! We need to learn to enjoy our time, wherever it maybe. So, we say, let’s not stop keeping ourselves from being trendy and hip, even if we are staying at home and staying safe.

One fine SPA DAY at home

Ever imagine going to a wellness retreat for a week or so, completely secluded from the outside world? No matter how hefty it maybe on the wallet, most of us have jotted down the option on our individual bucket lists.

When East meets West

Halter necks, spaghetti straps or a lovely sheath dress — any one of these words can conjure a vivid image of a fun night-out with that special someone. Coco Chanel iconised the little black dress, while Christian Dior mainstreamed leopard prints and silk chiffons.

Adventures in the eye shadow palette

I know I am not the only one feeling hopeless at the moment. However, I do believe that I have also found a nice way to divert my attention and boost my mind through all this.

Let's Imagine

This Eid, let things go back to the old flow, and that is with a splurge on peach and pastels. For the evening homely events, we can always opt for the darker shades like brown, navy blue, black, olive green, and greys.

Splendid summer nights

And right she was. Flamingo pink saris with the unique motifs imprinted on them and black anarkalis with the deshi jewellery prints only made the designs stand out.

Summer melodies

Tea and coffee will be flowing in as you browse through panels of saris, from comfortable cottons to sensuous chiffons.

Grecian gowns and gorgeousness

All apparels are artfully arranged, every piece of clothing is carefully pinned and belted in position. The flow of the long robes and gowns are theatrical, with every pattern embellishing the garment in a perfect composition — almost like poetry. This very styling has trickled down from the land of the demi-gods and seeped into the fashion culture of the mortals.

Rainbows in Spring

Dewan, famous for her patchwork and unconventional cuts and stitches, does not fail to blow our minds with her latest spring wardrobe.

Flirty Skirts

Call us impatient, but here at Star Lifestyle, we always try to stay one step ahead in the game of styling. So, when the rest of the country is still dealing with the woes of winter, we march ahead, already pondering over the attires for coming spring.

Wearable winter couture

Once through the collection, they are most likely to find faux furs and foreign shawls — clothes that would seem only repetitive today and prove no valid point, much less make any worthy statements.

Club Taaga promotes sustainable celebrations

And that is perhaps the gist of the story behind ‘Club TAAGA BBQ Night,’ an event organised by Club TAAGA, on 8 December, welcoming winter in Bangladesh with an eventful celebration that highlighted both fashion and an imperative social cause — Saying No to Plastic.

Muslin 1.jpg

Beautiful in Muslin

Muslin cotton may have been the grand attire of the British Royals and the Mughals, but it has always been our regional pride. While we may not have been able to keep up with our heritage and legacy over the years, but a few local designers wish to disagree to that statement.

Lo and Behold the Bangladeshi bride

She turns around to see her majestic bridal outfit lying on the floor, waiting to drape her. Her smile returns almost immediately. This beautiful red sharara, that both of them picked together, symbolises all the love and affection that they feel for each other. The beauty of the wedding attire reassures her that life, after all, will be appealing.

Sonia Yeasmin Isha 1.jpg

Tales of tradition

The classic Bengali belle looks incomplete without the sari and the quintessential ‘khopa.’ Delving into traditions, one will find that perhaps no other hairstyle pairs as well with the sari as the centre-parting and chignon, with a single flower, preferably a rose, neatly tucked into the latter.

The season of dazzling shoes

‘Tis the wedding season and we are all thankful for it. This means a whole lot of merriment, dressing up, and attending gorgeous parties.

MISS ECLECTIC

Eclectic styling is not meant for everyone! This is only for those who prefer unconventional fashion over the mundane, and a progressive lifestyle over the regular. Since fashion is a great way to reveal the uniqueness of a personality; an eclectic woman usually tends to show everyone around her that she is bold and confident, with countless colourful stories to share.

Create that ‘air of mystery’

The appeal of masquerades is universal. And now, even the Dhaka socialites have jumped on the bandwagon.

Cruising around in boat shoes

The boat shoe had a humble beginning with only one major concern — clinging to wet and slippery surfaces with its steadfast grip!
