Sari is an epitome of Indian beauty from ages. Indian saris are beautiful and gorgeous and have captured the hearts of millions of people all over the world. Indian sari is the mark of cultural and regional diversity of our country.

Sari is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘sati’ which means a ‘strip of cloth’. It has several types and can be draped in several styles like :

Nivi- worn in Andhra Pradesh
Bengali and Omiya style
Gujarati style
Maharashtrian
Kodagu of Karnataka
Malayali in kerala

With liberalization and changing global market sari’s are re emerging in new innovative designs and trends in different fabrics, embroidered, beaded and many more.. Another emerging trend is love for designer saris. We all are turning to top designers; no doubt they add a brand value to the sari collection and to your wardrobe. There are prints, floral, bold prints, graphics and images, geometric patterns. Ethnic and tribal flair are fabulous for adding an extra zing! to your personality. Plain saris with beautiful sequined borders and retro blouses are a mix of contemporary styling and an addition to glamour quotient..

Try out your color palette. Pastels, pinks, reds, and oranges are always classic but you can also opt for much bolder color choices. Experiment with deep saturated hues of your favorite colors..

Tips for sari shopping:

Decide the purpose of shopping. Don’t go for impulsive buying.
Plan your budget.
Decide the shops you want to give a look.
Select colors which best suites you. Don’t go for colors in fashion as each individual have own color palettes.
Color which suits you most will lift your face, eyes and hair.
If you have a broad heavy, body frame opt for sheer fabrics like chiffon and Georgette which will give you a slim look.
If you want to look tall avoid big prints, broad borders. Go for plains, geometric patterns with small or no border. Vertical stripes can also be a good option.
If you want to look short go for dark colors with big and broad borders.
Accessorize your attire with a piece of necklace and earrings and try new innovative styles of sari draping…
Designer fitting blouses can add an extra glamour to your entire look.

Happy Sari Shopping!!!!!!!

Image Consultant - The world is Calling!!!

Image consultants are professionals that help people to enhance their personal and professional look, increase their communication skills, and to learn proper social behavior. The main vision behind image consulting is helping men and women to feel better about themselves.
An image consultant is someone who knows style, etiquette and how to make a good sale. All he does is pass on that information to you.

A consultant teaches men the things they need to succeed in a world where time is sparse, impressions count more than ever and a cleancut image can make or break you. Besides giving advice on pinstripes and handshakes, consultants claim to boost their clients’ confidence, persuasion skills and communication abilities. By fine-tuning body language, social graces and networking tactics, clients feel better armed in the ruthless business game of survival.
In a standard session with an image consultant you will learn how to:

Pick a wardrobe for your line of work, and that suits your body type and personality
Shop for clothes efficiently
Groom yourself properly
Hide body and skin imperfections that may subconsciously turn people off

An image consultant will also teach you how to:

Behave at different functions
Talk in a confident, authoritative manner
Make effective presentations
Handle small talk and awkward silences
Use nonverbal communication effectively and eliminate nervous jitters
Take the upper hand in a media interview
Use the right cutlery for the right dishes at formal dinners

Why should you see an Image Consultant?
A great time to see an image consultant is when you are looking to get a new job or have recently been hired for one. Starting a new job or even just interviewing for one is a very stressful time. In today's fast-paced world first impressions count, and your competence, intelligence and reliability is judged within seconds.
Did you know that your visual appearance accounts for more than half the impression you give other people? This means that knowing how to manage your personal presentation so that you are quickly seen as effective and confident is as critical as any business skill on a resume. Unfortunately, workplace fashion can be tricky, as different businesses have different needs. For instance, if you were to work in a clothing store there is a good chance that you would want to dress in the latest trendy clothing (probably from the store where you work), but if you worked in a law office, professional attire is a must.

These days though, it is not just business attire you need to worry about, but also business casual. Many workplaces now have 'casual Friday' where employees can dress down a little. While this can be a lot of fun, it can also be a minefield. Unless there is a specified theme, you are left on your own as to what you should wear. Every workplace will be different but you still need to keep in mind the type of business you work for and the standards that are generally accepted there.

Professional image consultants know how to help you dress for success, and also how to use body language, business etiquette and colour to your advantage. So if you're interested in revamping your appearance for a new job or even just an interview, you may want to think about using the services of an image consultant.
