LHSY COUTURE COLLECTION ATPFDC L’ORÉAL PARISBRIDAL WEEK 2015The iconic courier HSY showcased his exclu-sive bridal range collection at the 5th PFDC L'Oréal Paris Bridal Week 2015, at Faletti’s Hotel. Inspired by the heavens, the HSY collection was intricately detailed and extraordinarily femi-nine, which marked a return to a demure and softer color palette and silhouette reminiscent of HSY’s work of the early 2000’s. This was re-presented in a con-text manifest of the wants and needs of the woman of today.

With a strong focus on the use of fabrics both timeless and pure, HSY celebrated his true passion for embroider-ies and surface embel-lishment with this collection, combining his deep understanding of the Western silhouette with quintessen�ially Eastern embroideries.

The collection drew on the lyricism of the heavens, channeling stormy pastels, the colors of the clouds in their full glory, and shades of blues and greys with metallic embellish-ments in charcoal silver and rose gold.

Here it begins:1. Wedges, a name for comfortable wear yet something that breaks the style boards o�. You get the height, the ease the comfort all in one package. Less stress on the foot means an event/ occasion worth of felt-fun (inside women joke).So, you could really go for these shoes that cover up the tradi�onal as well as the western a�re, in sense to fashion.

5. S�le�os! S�le�os could be your next hot love! Yes, they never go out of style. Not only the height increase advantage, you might also seek the turn back look for awesome fashion sense. So this is one hot shot for girl’s shoes.

11. Platform heels! Yes, everyone those babies are surely sexy! A tall or a short heighted person everyone dies for them. This is de�-nitely a pair of girls shoes must to pur-chase.

6. Cork high heels could be another op�on. This is basically as an easy sub-s�tute in reference to the s�le�os. The cork mate-rial replaces the move-ment into a so� cushion like movement. This could be very so� replacement for the girl’s shoes.

7. Peep toe heels. Well, well. Comes in all sizes and all shapes. Their focusing element is the sneak peek of the colored toe nails, hence peep toes. These girls’ shoes are a stylish yet easy to walk in.

8. Nowadays the Espa-drille heel is in fashion. These heels have a fabric upper a plaited �ber sole. These girls’ shoes are surely a take on this season.

9. Chunky heels could also be a take on. The heels come in various shapes, but a chunky base heel. These heels are heighted and again could be subs�tuted with the s�le�os, for those who have balance issues with thin heels.

10. Well, with the cigare�e pants in reign this season corset heels can be a really great op�on. These heels are similar in design to a ‘mule style’ or a boo�e. The modi�ca�on /di�erence lies with the two sides of the heel been �ed together like a corset is.

AEROBICS EXERCISEAND ITS BENEFITS'What really is aerobic exercise? Yes folks, this is the agenda for today. This should be the ques�on right? Well, here is the answer to your query:

Aerobics exercise a name for physical ac�vity that improves the cardiovascular/respiratory health. In literal terms by ‘Aerobics’ it is derived as “In pres-ence of, or with, oxygen”. When its aerobics it has a connec�on with increased heart and breathing rate in an op�mum healthy procedure, the ac�vity could be sustained for an extended period of �me.

Aerobic exercise according to studies have also been linked with decreasing the rate of depression , that is to some extent found in all individuals at di�erent levels , according to di�erent situa-�ons. Aerobics helps tackle the phase of depression by bringing chemical reac�ons in response to the intense physical ac�vi�es, which narrows down the progression of such a stance.

2. Bene�ts in response to diseasesAerobic exercise prevents heart disease, by strengthening the heart and lungs.

From there it has a straight direct course to the heart.The four chambers of the heart need a fresh and constant supply of oxygen. The lungs provide the heart what it needs and a�er it’s obtained it distributes the blood oxygen and nutrients to organs, muscles and �ssues.

10 EFFECTIVE WAYS TOREDUCE OBESITY

Obesity is one of the major diseases on the rise in the world today. People are being diagnosed with it every day. What is obesity, you may ask. Well, it is a con-di�on where a person has lots of fat in their body thus making them extremely overweight. It is mainly measured using the BMI (Body Mass Index), which involves dividing your weight (kilograms) with your height (meters squared). In the case that the result is above 29, you are considered as obese.

They are many ways to reduce obesity. For example, leading a healthy lifestyle and exercising regularly. If you are already obese, there are things you can do to reduce this condi�on. They include:

10. Take Some HoneyHoney will help you lose weight. S�r some honey in a glass of warm water. You may add some lime juice to improve the taste. Take this mixture at least once a day on an empty stomach. In a few months, you will have lost weight.

9. Take Apple Cider VinegarA teaspoon of apple cider vinegar will help in burning the fat in the body. It is most e�ec�ve when taken before you go to sleep, so it can work on the fats as you sleep.

8. Add Some Spices To Your TeaSpices reduce your weight more e�ec-�vely and naturally. Ginger, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper are some of the spices you may add to you tea. Need I say the taste will also be heavenly? I don’t think so.

7. Vegetables and FruitsThese are also e�cient in weight loss. They con-tain nutrients that also leave you healthier. Ensure that at least half of the meal you take comprises vegetables. Fruits can be used as a subs�tute for snacks.

6. Feast On High Fiber FoodsThey help you feel full throughout the day, even though they contain fewer calories and li�le fat. They digest slowly, meaning they will keep your blood sugar stable, not �uctua�ng as most foods do, and thus making you feel hungry.

3. Take Some Green TeaGreen tea has been shown to be an e�ec�ve remedy for weight loss. With green tea, you won’t even need to take those expensive magic pills that promise you a size-8 �gure in day. We both know that a lie. It works just perfect and no die�ng will be required. Good thing s�ll, you will require no die�ng. Simmer the best quality green tea leaves in boiling water for a few minutes. Take the tea at least once in a day and within no �me, you will be amazed.

5. S�ck To 3 Meals A DaySkipping meals will in no way help you reduce weight. Actually, according to research, those people who tend to skip meals, especially breakfast, have a tendency of adding weight. This is because, if you skip a meal, you tend to eat more calories when you eat the next meal. You will also feel hungrier during the day as compared to people who do not skip meals.

4. Homemade Food is the BestThere is nothing as sweet as a home cooked meal. It is not only nutri�ous, but also made to speci�c taste and �avors. Most meals made in hotel are full of fats and make you increase weight a lot. Ea�ng homemade food will limit you on ea�ng lots of junk and also you will be aware of how healthy the food you are ea�ng is. If you can’t make food, don’t worry, there are lots of healthy recipes available on the internet that can guide and within no �me, you will become a pro in ma�ers of cooking

2. ExercisingPhysical exercise is by far one of the best ways to reduce obesity. Home exercises or going to the gym will do just �ne. But ensure you perform intensive workout for 30 to 45 minutes in a day at least �ve days a week. Within no �me your weight will decrease and you will be much healthier.

1. Keep HydratedWater is a known detoxifying agent. It helps in removing all the toxins in the body that might have accumulated lead-ing to weight gain. Drinking enough water in a day will help you in weight loss. At the moment, the recommended amount is 8 glasses in a day. Drink water 30 minutes before and a�er a meal. Hot water is especially good as it eliminates fat deposits in the body.

Obesity is no respecter of age or race thus it a�ects all people. It puts one at risk of many lifestyle diseases. Such diseases include some types of cancer, diabetes, stroke and heart diseases. It is majorly caused by intake of too much calories than required and lead-ing a sedentary lifestyle. The above �ps will help you reduce the weight and also make you a healthier, happier you.

This Batshit Crazy CompanyWants to Build MobilePrivate IslandsYachts are for chumps. People who really know how to spend their money get sub-mersible yachts from Migaloo, a mysterious company that offers five different models of underwater palaces. But true evil villains just go for the Migaloo’s crown jewel: Kokomo Ailand.

Kokomo Aisland is a mobile private island that floats on two semi-submersible plat-forms. Just shy of 385 feet long, this massive habitat is a floating fun zone-especially when it’s in international waters.

The specific design is totally customizable, but Migaloo offers some pretty ludicrous amenities. Here’s a list from the Austrian company’s website that makes Kokomo Ailand sound like a personal cruise ship:

Private Owners Penthouse 80 M Above Sea Level

Jungle Deck With Palm Trees And Vertical Gardens

Beach Deck With Entertainment Pool & Barbecue Area

Garden Deck With Al-fresco Outdoor Dining

Spa Deck With Spa And Beauty Saloons

Large Pool Areas And Waterfalls

2 Beach Clubs Including Beach Gym

But then the place starts to sound like a Bond movie:

Underwater Dining Saloon, Shark-feeding Station

Outdoor Cinema

Heli Deck

Massive Storage For Tender & Toys

You can interpret the phrase “massive storage for tender & toys” however you’d like. We can only imagine it’s a vault full of gold coins and platinum-plated vibrators.

But inevitably, Kokomo Ailand is a place for relaxa-tion, a way to get away from it all (think: extradition laws), talk to exotic tropical birds, and enjoy fruit-flavored cocktails on the water.

Don’t forget, the glory of owning your own mobile island is the idea that you can flee to a new para-dise anytime you want.

Moby Dick sightings are not guaranteed, but they are encouraged!

Does all this seem ridiculous to be true? It probably is. The company lists Kokomo Island for sale-along with a fleet of five submersible yachts—on its spare website, though there are plenty of pretty renderings of what such a rich boy toy would look like. However, Migaloo hasn’t actually sold any mobile private islands.

THE ISSUE OF KISSINGIS NOTHING

FAWAD KHAN

Fawad Khan is a cri�cally and commercially acclaimed actor in Pakistani televi-sion and bollywood �lm industry.

In the news recently for walking out of Ba�le for Bi�ora and then bagging Vogue’s Most Beau�ful Male award in Mumbai, we take a look at the success story that has evolved over the years – from his rock band to breaking into Bolly-wood.

Fawad is one of the most sought-a�er actors in not just Pakistan, but across the border, in India too. Fawad spoke about his latest �lm, his no kissing pact and also got a li�le nostalgic about his old music career…

You’ve come a long way since your rocker days, run me by the changes you’ve been through, both as an actor and as an individual…

As an actor and an individual I think I’ve learnt how to subdue the angry young man that was inside me. When I started out I think I was very much similar to Bruce Banner and his hulk problem. The answer to everything was hulk smash!, quite literally, in some way or the other in every emo�onal output. I was much louder. I think that would be my big-gest achievement as well.I’ve expanded my skill-set through a very limited number of projects and been very lucky with the outcomes most of the �me. As an individual, I’ve learnt a lot about life. Some things that proved to be helpful and some things I wish I never knew.

Can’t �nd the space for it these days. But all this while I’ve had the chance to sit down and listen to some great music. I really do miss it. It’s a memory and an experience I really cherish. There is no comparison between the life of a rock star and an actor. If I could now, I would be a rock star within a blink of an eye. So as far as music is concerned, yeah, I might just go back to it but don’t want to be unfair to it. It requires its proper �me and space.

You’ve just wrapped up shoo�ng for Kapoor and Sons – what was your experience like working with the cast and the crew, par�cu-larly, Karan Johar?

Do you miss your music days? Would you ever consider going back to music for a bit?

Working on Kapoor and Sons was a lot of fun. The energy was great and the cast and crew all got along really well, like a family. Sid, Alia and Shakun are fantas�c people to work and hang out with. This is my second �me working with Ratna Patak and as always it’s a pleasure, whereas it’s my �rst experience working with Rajat Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, I feel like I share an old camaraderie with them.Karan, is an extremely genuine and warm person. Having seen his work on Ko�ee with Karan one can very well see his sharp sense of humour, but in person, believe me when I say it’s an experience on another level. With that wit comes a sharp eye and a sensibility that makes his produc�on house what it is today

Was Bollywood daun�ng for you, ini�ally?

No. I didn’t come in with any preconceived no�ons of the industry so I don’t feel it was daun�ng. As an actor if you ask, it’s funny but my audience’s expecta�ons are more daunt-ing than the work itself

Fawad, the media went into a bit of a spin a�er your decision of choosing not to get in�-mate with Alia Bha� in Kapoor and Sons. Is this something that you’re going to s�ck to for all your �lms?

First of all, there is a lot of guessing that goes on in the market. It’s all a result of not having a PR which I feel it’s high �me that I get, sec-ondly, one needs to start repor�ng impostors on social networking sites. The issue of kiss-ing is nothing and just a personal choice for now.

The ‘dream role’ for me is a myth as of now. As an actor I’m challenged around the clock. To be able to keep changing personali�es is the biggest task alone. To not repeat yourself again and again. The day I’m able to master that skill, I’ll be ready for my dream role.

What’s your de�ni�on of a dream role?

Great news in these days of turmoil in indo pak rela-�ons. The bollywood Bebo, Kareena Kapoor khan will be starring in upcoming �lm Directed by the super pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor who is well known because of Khuda ke liye (Bol) fame.In this Connec�on Kareena will be reaching Dubai this week and she and Shoaib will discuss the formal plot and there a�er get it to a legal rela-�onship with the contract signing.

This news had already created a big buzz but there was no con�rma�on from Kareena's end. Now however her spokesperson has con�rmed the news.

“A few months ago, Shoaib Mansoor had emailed his concept to Kareena, saying that she will have a powerful role in the �lm,” said someone close to Kareena. “She liked the idea but wanted to read the script before giving her nod to the �lm. She will be the �rst A-list actor to work in a Pakistani project,” stated the source.

The source further added that Bebo was on the look out for some huge project that would yield some heavy �nancial gains. Now with shoaib's Story in the o�ng, Kareena feels that the right moment has arrived.

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has been so impressed and enamored with

Lady Gaga’s performance in the upcoming American Horror Story: Hotel that he’s already

offered her a part in season 6 of the show.

Murphy took to Twitter to declare his admiration for Gaga, who makes her acting debut in

American Horror Story: Hotel and asked her to return for another season. While FX has

not officially announced a sixth season of the horror anthology co-created by Murphy and

Brad Falchuk, the series is the cable network's highest-rated series.

The new series, like every season, marks a complete reset of the story with the returning

cast members including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates and more all playing

new characters.

There’s no word on whether or not Lady Gaga will accept, but given the excitement she’s

shown as part of the upcoming season, it seems like a forgone conclusion that she would

be willing to return.

Taylor Swift has landed her first cover of GQ

Magazine and the 1989 hit-maker is looking smok-

ing hot on it. Revealing the November cover on

Instagram, the 25-year-old posted the steamy

snap in which she poses on a balcony in a nude

tank-top over a black bikini. The top barely covers

her torso and shows off Swift's very famous legs.

The star is wearing minimal make-up for the

beach shoot, with shoulder-length tousled locks

falling sexily around her face. After ruling the

world with her last record-breaking album, Swift

has quite a bit to say to GQ according to write

Chuck Klosterman, who sat down with the global

icon.

Teasing the interview he said of Swift: “If you don’t

take Swift seriously, you don’t take contemporary

music seriously...There’s simply no antecedent for

this kind of career: a cross-genre, youth-oriented,

critically acclaimed colossus based entirely on the

intuitive songwriting merits of a single female

artist.

"It’s as if mid-period Garth Brooks was also early

Liz Phair, minus the hat and the swearing. As a

phenomenon, it’s absolutely new.”

Swift fans are going to have to enjoy this latest

interview as it might be the last for a while. Speak-

ing recently to NME Magazine, she hinted that

after her 1989 tour comes to an end in December

that she's going to take some time away from the

spotlight.

"I think I should take some time off. People might

need a break from me. I'm going to hang out with

friends. Write new music. Maybe not write new

music. I don't know," she said.

BEDROOM DECORATION IDEASFOR TEEN AGE GIRLS'The toughest call in a girl’s life is her transi�on from childhood into her teen age phase. Yes, that’s the di�cult phase. Why? Well, because it’s the �rst ladder up to woman hood. It is the �me when her outlook to things changes completely. This a�icts her personal stances and choices. And if it is to be linked with the very base; then let’s dis-cuss her room. Yes, folks today’s agenda is the bedrooms of teen age girls.

The teen age girls want fashionable/elegant rooms alongside func�onal. Something that might o�er them more than a relaxa�on zone. Well, you see this is the �me they want to invite friends. This is the �me when they discover the ‘new-them’. And lastly this is the beginning of them developing sense towards taste.

So here’s some worthy teen age girl’s room design ideas:

1. There’s one �p for the teen age girls bedroom which includes usage of animal prints across the room. Be it beddings or accessories. Pairing them along with the graphic wired mirrors. Frames above the headboard of a bed and canopy beds. This could be one op�on for a teenage girl’s bedroom.

2. Another �p for the teen age girl’s bedroom could be so�-tone colors. Combina-�ons of cream wall papers / walls along with so�-pink or so� colored accessories. (Not merely pink pink, total pink is another catch).

3. Wall-le�ers ( plas�c or metal , any) with ‘name-alphabets’ or any catchy words is another great new feature for the exclusive teen age girl’s bed room design ideas.

4. Special wallpapers with city-graphics or illustra-�ons for instance one’s with images like Ei�el tower appearing on them could be another great design for the teen age girl’s bedroom.

5. Girl’s having love for nature should go with nature oriented earthy tones and colors for their room. This could also behold the leafy / �oral wallpapers that could make their room look the perfect glimpse of their style.

6. Girl’s having a nag for history through fashion(20th century) should choose the colors and acces-sories of their room on the various themes they like. For instance, a glam-rock theme could hold items associated with glam-rock, pictures of rock music, strong metallic colors and accessories to match with the theme in their bedroom.

7. PINK! As cliché as it may sound. But teen age girls have a nag for this color. Go pink with your room. This includes the selec�on of intricate details from the cushions to the curtains, the walls and accessories in the room.

8. Another �p for the teen age girl’s bedrooms could be the eccentric four poster beds. Be them single or double, along withcanopies. Not only teen age girls such beds take up most of the taste from late cen-turies �ll the present in people abid-ing to all ages.

9. Modern simplis�c furniture could be another op�on for the teen age girl’s bedrooms. This type of furni-ture is named as Mod-glam. This is a sure-in-to-go trend for them.

10. And lastly, no-mess-all-clean room is the essen�al for a girl’s room. As it has been stereotyped among the both gender classes; girls are considered to be more organized and clean. This is the crux of the teen age girls’ bedroom.

So, go on follow these li�le �ps and make your room di�erent yet phenomenal. We know you’re entering a new phase of life, why not enter with a new �avor of excep�onality and sense of fashion. A�er all we are speaking of the room you have been planning to get ever since you had been mommy’s li�le girl. Go renovate the place. Happy decora�ng!
