Stylish Shoe


While thong sandals were commonly worn, many people in ancient times, such as the Egyptians, Hindu and Greeks, saw little need for footwear, and most of the time, preferred being barefoot.

The Egyptians and Hindus made some use of ornamental footwear, such as a soleless sandal known as a "Cleopatra", which did not provide any practical protection for the foot. The ancient Greeks largely viewed footwear as self-indulgent, unaesthetic and unnecessary. Shoes were primarily worn in the theater, as a means of increasing stature, and many preferred to go barefoot.Athletes in the Ancient Olympic Games participated barefoot – and naked.[11] Even the gods and heroes were primarily depicted barefoot, and the hoplite warriors fought battles in bare feet and Alexander the Great conquered his vast empire with barefoot armies. The runners of Ancient Greece are also believed to have run barefoot. Pheidippides, the first marathoner, ran from Athens to Sparta in less than 36 hours.After the Battle of Marathon, he ran straight from the battlefield to Athens to inform the Athenians of the news.

Hot Pink Long Anarkali Dress














Shalwar Qameez
The kameez is usually cut straight and flat; older kameez use traditional cuts, as shown in the illustration above. Modern kameez are more likely to have European-inspired set-in sleeves.

The tailor's taste and skill are usually displayed, not in the overall cut, but in the shape of the neckline and the decoration of the kameez. Modern versions of the feminine kameez can be much less modest than traditional versions. The kameez may be cut with a deep neckline, sewn in diaphanous fabrics, or styled in cap-sleeve or sleeveless designs. The kameez side seams may be split up to the thigh or even the waistline, and it may be worn with the salwar slung low on the hips. When a woman wears a semi-transparent kameez (mostly as a party dress), she wears a choli or a cropped camisole underneath it.
When women wear the salwar kameez, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck. For Muslim women, the dupatta is a less stringent alternative to the chador or burqa (see also hijab and purdah). For Sikh and Hindu women (especially those from northern India, where the salwar kameez is most popular), the dupatta is useful when the head must be covered, as in a Gurdwara or a Temple, or the presence of elders. For other women, the dupatta is simply a stylish accessory that can be worn over one shoulder or draped around the chest and over both shoulders.

New Mehndi dress


Mehndi dress
Take Assistance
Applying mehendi yourselves could be messy. So you better take someone's assistance. Put a towel on your shoulders. Ask your aid to wear plastic gloves. It will keep her clean.

After Applying
Cover your hair in saran wrap or a shower cap. Wait for a few hours. Then wash your hair with cold water and a good conditioner. This will make your hair glow.
Keep Away From Synthetic Products
When you are through with mehendi, you must avoid any chemical processing and products, such as chemically straightening them or perming or putting dye in your hair. This could damage the hair.
Tips
Avoid wearing light colored clothes while applying mehendi, as it could spoil your clothes.
Don't using mehendi on perm hair because mehendi coating does not allow perm to work well on hair.
Never use synthetic products on your hair for it could be harmful for them.
Mehendi in Tradition
In India, mehendi is a way for a bride and groom to get ready for the marriage. Traditions underlie the use of Mehandi, including wedding games and legends. A dark mehandi design for both bride and groom signifies that the two will have a strong relationship. Now Indian marriage is possible sans mehendi. Fashion-centric ladies even wear dresses to match their mehendi. Mehendi is considered the symbol of fertility and prosperity.
