Eid al-Adha which is coming up next weekend in Dubai. It’s a festival which brings a wave of joy for everyone. Yes, it has long been associated with pompous decorations, glitzy fervor, and reuniting with your big family. This pleasure should be reflected from your home as well, regarding your whole family will visit it. The entire home should shout the words decorations and adornment.

Here, we have some ideas that how you can make special decor your home on Eid days. Take a look!

Adorn your walls with Islamic art

Islamic art is richly influenced by a variety of cultures, namely, Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Chinese and Indian! You can spot Islamic art in architecture, calligraphy, paintings, glass work, ceramics, and textiles.

 

 

Play around with pillows

Throw pillows with bold design add a casual chic vibe to the room. Don’t be shy to pile them on and mix some patterns. Combine large prints with small ones, florals with geometrics.

Fill some memories in

Display your beautiful memories with your loved ones on these special days! Put some photos prints on your living room table and show your precious moments with your family. Besides, they will add up some personal feeling to light up the room.

Add lanterns and candles

Any celebration is incomplete without lights and when it comes to Eid, the different types of light and candles are of great use. You can use designer lanterns to decorate your home. Add soft color of glittery lanterns for the refreshing festive mood. Play with the placement of lanterns. You can place it on the dining table or hang it above the sitting area. Try to make centerpiece arrangement of lantern for your dining table that gives an ethnic touch to the decoration. Add extra lighting to your home during this month. Even the soft glow of candles can add accent lighting to your décor.

Sparkles All Around

For Eid celebration, use of sparkle and glitters are of great importance, as without adding the glitz and sheen to everything the Eid celebration is incomplete. Glittery cushion cover and bed sheet are the prominent need of the dining table. Use aluminum foil for all the cutlery holders and gold embroidered work on the bed sheets.

All these accessories and decorations pieces you can find in Lifestyle stores in UAE. They have flat 50% off on all their products.

So, give a warm welcome to visitors, friends and relatives with flashy look of your home. Be festive with

Do you want to add some life to your décor, but you’re not sure where to start?

Then you’re not alone.

Why not consider going all tropical?

It’s becoming a growing trend right now. When some people hear the word ‘tropical’, they immediately think of loud, garish and over-the-top colors. Exotic colors and textures—fit for a balmy oasis like the Bahamas or Fiji—have been making a splash on the 2017 home design circuit. And I can’t get enough of the scorching trend. Sure, tropical looks can be loud. But that doesn’t mean they have to be tacky. Bold, over-scale tropical leaves in graphic prints can make a sophisticated statement.

From lighting to cushions, wallpaper to duvets, hallways to mirrors, fashionable tropical décor strikes the right balance between showcasing vibrant colors and nailing that relaxing holiday vibe. Think flowery prints, with soft, light greens, pale pinks and patterns with subtle coral, brown and blue undertones. A tropical interior design theme isn’t about making overly wild statements and making your house guests feel like they’re living in Rio in the middle of Mardi Gras. Instead, it’s about embracing a welcome boost of color into the home, all in good taste. It’s about being light and breezy.

If your decor has truly put you in the tropical mood, infuse your outfit with natural vibes and earth-toned hues. Paired my tropical dress with my favorite green heels.

It’s worth a look. After all, when you think about it, is there anything more comfortable and warm than an exotic retreat? Hope you agree with me.

Here are few tips and tricks which I learned in this event on organizing your wardrobe.

  • There’s little point in owning a gorgeous bag or dress if you can’t find it in your closet when you’re getting dressed. A clean, well-organized wardrobe—instead of a confusing, jumbled mess of clothes and accessories—means you’ll maximize all your sartorial purchases, and come up with polished, carefully considered outfits even on hectic mornings. The task of decluttering your wardrobe can be overwhelming but its worth doing it.
  • Get Rid of Your Old Clothes. It might not be easy, but tossing out or donating old clothes is key to making room in your closet.
  • Organize your tops and dresses. If you have the space to hang, hang everything, You’ll wear more if you can see it!
  • Organize Bags and Shoes. It’s better to keep shoes and bags outside on shelves and have as much visible as possible. It’s hard to change bags if you can’t see them. They don’t generally get damaged out of their dust bags, so enjoy the view.
  • Organize Jewelry on top of the dresser. It’s also a great way to see what you have and makes it easy to keep hidden from plain sight.

I hope these tips and tricks help you organize your wardrobe and maximize more space in order to fit all our clothes, shoes, and bags. Till then xoxo

Hello Everyone,

We all love our lipsticks and we know that the right lipstick can instantly transform our look and make us feel more confident. But keeping our lipstick clean to prevent the spread of germs, removing long-wearing lipstick from our lips, or getting lipstick stains out of our clothing can sometimes seem like a challenge. Our mouths carry bacteria and that’s why sometimes lipstick need to be cleaned and disinfected. Rather than throwing our “oh so favorite” shade, just a quick disinfecting can have it clean and ready to live vibrantly on our lips!

Below are few easy steps to disinfect your lipstick:

Step 1: Scrape Off Top Layer

Because the top layer can have residue such as air particles and lint, its best to scrape off that first thin layer. This can be done with a Q-tip, but I chose to slice it with a kitchen knife for a cleaner finish.


Step 2: Fill a cup with isopropyl alcohol.

To clean and sanitize your lipstick, you’ll need a bottle of isopropyl alcohol, which you can find at any supermarket. Pour enough into a cup so you’ll be able to easily submerge the lipstick into it.

  • Isopropyl alcohol comes in different percentages. For cleaning your lipstick, 70% is usually the best option. It’s strong enough to kill the bacteria and germs that might be present on the lipstick but won’t evaporate as quickly as higher concentrations.

Step 3: Dip your lipstick in the alcohol.

Take the tube of lipstick that you want to clean, and turn it all the way up the entire bullet is exposed. Submerge the lipstick in the cup of alcohol, and hold it there for 15 to 30 seconds.

Step 4: Wipe off the lipstick and let it air dry.

 After you’ve let the lipstick soak in the alcohol, remove it from the cup. Use a tissue to wipe off the top layer of lipstick from the bullet, and leave the lipstick uncovered so it can finish air drying the rest of the way.

Your lipstick is now disinfected and ready for use again! Hope you liked this DIY post!

Rocking a denim shirt whilst maintaining a formal, classic look isn’t as hard as you’d imagine. In the past few years, we’ve seen a comeback for the denim shirt in the fashion world. Various celebrities have set the tone on how to wear them and how good they look and whilst styling a denim shirt to look smart and fashionable can seem difficult, it is quite the opposite; it’s fairly simple and it goes well together with most pieces of clothing. Talking about celebrities, I was really inspired by Alia Bhatt rocking the all denim look in the movie “DEAR ZINDAGI”.

Here’s how I have styled it!

Top: ONLY (India), Bottom: Zara, Shoes: Forever 21, Watch: Guess, Glasses: Image (India)
