Darjeeling Glenburn is a little slice of heaven on Earth. It is located in the hillock above the banks of the River Rungeet and overlooks the mighty Kanchenjunga mountain range. It was started as a charming Scottish Tea Company in 1859 and is now passed in the able hands of the Prakash family who take forward the legacy.

KIM KARDASHIAN WEST JUST SHARED HOW SHE USES HER KKW BEAUTY HIGHLIGHT STICK TO COVER DARK CIRCLES

This week, Kim Kardashian West took to Instagram to share a makeup skill she's famous for: contouring. More specifically, the 38-year-old makeup mogul showed off how she uses her KKW Beauty Crème Contour & Highlight Set to achieve a natural-looking contour and highlight look in just five minutes flat. In the tutorial, she also revealed a few of her personal tips and tricks, like how she uses the matte side of the highlight stick as a makeshift concealer. Pretty clever if you ask us.

Starting off with a clean, makeup-free face, West says: "By the way, I have no foundation or concealer on so it's not going to look as flawless as it would if you put all of that on and do the whole process, but I'm just showing you my everyday, all-natural look when I don't feel like putting on a ton of makeup." She then jumps right into the tutorial and explains how she uses her highlight stick to lightly conceal her dark undereye circles. "I know this isn't concealer but because it's all I'm really using, I'm gonna kinda use it a little bit as concealer, like the matte highlighter side," she says before using the stick to draw several lines underneath her eyes where one would normally place concealer.

LAKME FASHION WEEK 2020

It is that time of the year when along with the bloom of the flowers, there is a slight tension, even pressure to perform well. We are talking about the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020 that is a dream platform for any designer as it not only dictates trends but also makes star designers out of young artists.

Rahul Mishra-

The star of the event, Rahul Mishra opened the show with a bang. Apart from having a strong showstopper in the name of Jahnvi Kapoor, who wore a hand-embroidered aqua gown by Rahul Mishra. Speaking about the collection, which was also featured in Paris, Rahul said, "On a recent trip to Soneva Fushi - Maldives, as I submerged myself quite literally, into an unfamiliar world, a series of stark realisations dawned upon me. Mesmerised by the million shades of blue, the ever-changing abstract shapes made up of a diaspora of fish, the alienesque under-water foliage and the striking corals, it was a mammoth task to register the beauty unfolding before me - an experience that was equal parts surreal and humbling. Our collection, ‘Home’ saw an incessant reminder of the beauty that our planet beholds as a key inspiration for many looks that walked the runway," he wrote on Instagram.

Vaishali Shandangule-

The famed designer who had to once leave her family behind to escape marriage glowed at the Lakme Fashion Week 2020. Her collection Madanottsava was an ode to bridal wear in India and traditional weaves from five states of India. We loved her romantic take on the chanderi saree and the red lehenga that was dominant throughout the show.

Ashdeen Lilaowala-

Ashdeen Lilaowala's collection was based on his life in Mumbai as a Parsi. His collection 'Memories on Cloth' was a tribute to his upbringing, family and of course, food! Known to be a Gara saree connoisseur, the beauty of lace was dominant in all his outfits that were showcased at the fashion week. From jhabla blouses to organza sarees and cropped jackets, his collection was a treat to the eyes and was an ode to Parsi culture.

LOOK SUPER COOL WITH THESE KEY SPRING SUMMER 2020 FASHION TRENDS

Holographic Sweatpants-

Before you gawk at this one, let us just tell you that Holographic sweatpants are a top trend in the international runways. No, this is not necessarily a cosplay outfit, neither do these demand to be restricted to your disco wardrobe. The Spring Summer 2020 runways had the best ones on display and we think these would transition easily from day to night.

Drapes-

It was Proenza Schouler that rocked the runways with her artfully done drapes that hugged the curves at the right places. These were meant to add definition to the body and also add a bit of a glam factor to your overall looks. We saw a lot of skirts, dresses even gowns where drapes dominated the runways. It is about time you incorporate them in your spring summer wardrobe

Polka Dots-

We have said this before and are saying it again, polka dots are beyond children wear. Whether you wear it as a dress or a trendy top, they are surely a summer must-have. Great for when you like prints and want to experiment a bit without going too over-the-top. We especially loved the Michael Kors Resort 2020 collection, which was an ode to polka dots, feminine dresses and everything in between.

Beige Accents-

And you thought beige is restricted to Fall? Give your bright coloured outfits a miss and wear head-to-toe beige instead. Not only is it a summer-friendly hue, but it also adds to a certain amount of sophistication to your overall look. Plus, you can easily dress up and dress down depending on the occasion.

IFM LOVES | WINTER PERFUMES

Did you know that spring-summer perfumes are mostly a misfit for winter? Wearing them is like stepping out in a chiffon blouse on a bitingly chilly day – however elegant be the blouse, it’s out of place and not to mention, uncomfortable, for the weather. Moreover, the soft and fresh notes of a typically summery perfume are too gentle to even be perceptible when the ambient temperature dips.

So pack away those notes of flowers, citruses and powders for now and get your hands on something more winter-appropriate – the whiff of which gives a rush of warmth no matter how chilly it is outside.Take cues from our list!

Kayali by Huda Kattan Warm up to Kayali, a sub-brand of Huda Beauty, by Huda and Mona Kattan. Kayali Collection 01 comes in four different fragrances – Vanilla, Citrus, Musk and Elixir – all remarkably strong and long-lasting. This beautifully balanced collection with hints of spice and florals is a worthy pick for winter, and gives us good reason to be excited about their soon-to-launch Collection 02.

Dark Papyrus by Alexander McQueen The brand has launched eight different perfumes this year, all of which have been insanely appreciated. Of these, Dark Papyrus should be your best winter pick. Its spicy, woody, earthy and rather primal scent, with notes of blackcurrant buds, is a sheer delight; especially so, if you have the nose for strong fragrances. And talking of strength, this one stays strong all day – even through all the heavy layers of the season.

Notes of wood and spice in the icy cold evening breeze of a romantic boulevard, enveloped in beenies, furs, mittens and boots – the picture of bliss, isn’t it? May all your evenings be such – and what you must do first, is buy a divinely wintry perfume!

The California based salon chain, Olivia and June, update tired florals in beautiful pastel hues. Simple yet elegant, this is for the whimsical ones out there!

Make Your Daily Jeans More Stylish

Jeans have always been a classic. They go from desk to drinks quite effortlessly and can suit even the laziest dresser. So comfortable are these denims that some people even choose to sleep in them! It is a must-have item in your wardrobe and can never go out of style. Sure, the type of jeans you choose may vary depending on the occasion but everyone has that favourite pair that they stick to until the seams go off. There is surely no harm in that, but what if we tell you that you can pair your favourite pair of jeans in four different ways? Whether you don’t want to part with your forever favourite or are just too lazy to play dress up, here are some tricks and tips that’ll help you style your usual jeans in four different ways! Boot Tucked Jeans:-This is exactly as it sounds. Boot tucked jeans were made famous by the Kardashian sisters and has slowly trickled down to mainstream fashion too. You will just need two things- boots and any skinny jeans. Go for a matching colour for your boots and jeans if you are looking to give an illusion of longer looking legs. We think this style is not suitable for India (barring winter, of course!) per se but abroad, it will be a winner.

The Giant Cuff Jeans:- The giant cuff jeans is basically rolled-up denim that goes an extra mile. Meaning, there is ample cuffed hem which gives it quite a raw appeal. Again, you can click through and buy within minutes but if you are lazy, then just roll it up and that’s it, you’ll be done. Just a word of caution; do ensure that the jeans are ironed and not crumpled as it may only lead to a faux pas. Crop tops or linen shirts, it will look great with all.

FIVE SUPERFOODS TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNITY DURING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

There is no specific time when you should begin to think of getting healthy. It's a process which gradually blends in our lifestyle. But, now since we are amid a pandemic where we are seeing the number of cases of people getting infected with Covid-19 increasing every day, in such a scenario, wearing a mask in public, washing our hands, using a hand sanitiser and following social distancing is good but there’s more that can help us fight against Coronavirus. Here’s a recommended list of foods to increase immunity that all of us should include in our diet right from now. And these are not just immunity boosting foods for adults but for kids too.

Blueberries:

Have it on its own or include it in your healthy smoothy recipe, these humble little berries are great for boosting immunity. Blueberries have a type of flavonoid which play an essential role to improve respiratory tract’s immune system. And now that we all are aware of the fact that Covid-19 virus affects the respiratory tract, this superfood can be of great help. According to various research and studies, people who eat foods rich in flavonoids are less likely to get an upper respiratory tract infection or a common cold, than those who don’t.

Nuts:

A handful of nuts a day can keep diseases away! Yes, that’s true. According to several studies, eating nuts daily can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Fully packed with protein, minerals, vitamins, fibre, phytosterols and polyphenols, nuts can keep you healthy and fit. Develop a habit of having a handful of nuts with walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts and seeds every day. Munch throughout the day or have some with your high tea, you’ll be happy to see the healthy change in you.

Dark chocolate:

Have you been feeling guilty lately for consuming too much chocolate? We have some good news for you. Consuming dark chocolate daily can be one of the best practices you can include in your everyday diet. It contains a super antioxidant called theobromine, which not just boosts your immunity, but protects the body cells from free radicals. Thus, the obsession with chocolate is not that bad at all. But, do eat in moderation as it is also high in calories. Afterall excess of everything is bad.

Avocado:

Avocados are in the air! Everyone’s talking about it and you can see many cafes including this wonder fruit in their menus. This rich and creamy fruit can be mashed, spread or even diced into a salad to make it an awesome meal. It comes loaded with many health benefits which makes it to the list of superfoods. While there can be several good reasons for having an Avacado, few of the most prominent ones are: it is a vitamin powerhouse which supports the immune system, it is also filled with fibres and contains healthy fat which is good for your heart and gut.

5 MINUTES WITH SUNITA SHEKHAWAT - Iflauntme

Sunita Shekhawat’s precise understanding of a modern Indian women makes her one of the most revered jewellery designers in the country today. Be it detachable necklaces, dangling earrings (jhumkis) or the use of soft pastels, her pieces are meant for every women with a discerning taste. She shares with us latest jewellery trends for the upcoming wedding season. Take note.

Which jewelry trends will be big this season- Jewelry must now evoke both classic and contemporary charm. This season design-centric head accessories are on trend such as headgears, headbands etc. Big nose rings (nath) and hathphools with detachable pieces like ring, bangle, and chain are also quite in right now. Big earrings/shoulder dusters are great to pair with gowns on the cocktail/mehndi night. Avoid wearing multi-layered necklaces – it’s passé. Keep styling simple with one statement jewelry piece with an already-elaborate wedding ensemble.

Which is a better choice, traditional or contemporary jewelry- These days we get requests for multi-wear pieces as brides want to make the most of the huge investments that they make in jewelry. Reversible, detachable and multi-colored pieces can be worn with many looks. Today, brides want to enjoy the best of both worlds – traditional and modern – and demand pieces that are versatile.

Long chains with pendants jewellery | Iflauntme

Keeping pace with brilliant outfits on the runways is equally stunning jewellery. The choker was the favourite statement neckpiece of top labels, which innovated in minimal as well as bold styles. Richly hued brass was the metal of the moment as seen in the clasp choker from Balmain, while 3.1 Philip Lim’s single slivers of white metal delicately embraced the neck. Chunky chain design was displayed by Christian Dior in metal and Stella McCartney in transparent plastic. Salvatore Ferragamo’s colourful sleek moulded plastic choker looks good with a casual or a chic evening gown, while the Givenchy chokers are richly encrusted with large colourful stones.

Long chains with pendants displayed contemporary styles, besides western and animal motifs. Lanvin and Derek Lam came up with interesting modern designs, while Nina Ricci showed multiple-drop crystals in a single pendant and those from Etro and Edun had a more retro look.

What can you do during Lockdown?

We will not discuss the global pandemic or give you insights about it. There are several news channels and valid sources that are updating you about it. We know it is a dark hour in history, something that you would tell your kids about when it is over. But for now, the constant news updates can get very overwhelming and if you are someone who would like to make this 21-days lockdown, a tad bit fruitful and enjoyable, then here are some social media trends that might help. 

Dalgona Coffee:- This is a frothy coffee drink that finds its roots in South Korea and has been quickly touted as the social distancing drink during this self-imposed quarantine. We love Shivesh Bhatia's easy rendition of it. It is easy, simple and quick to make with just three ingredients- instant coffee, milk and sugar. You just have to whip some water, coffee and sugar together to bring it to a frothy consistency and add some hot/cold milk over it. Trust us, this photogenic drink is not only delicious but will also make your Instagram feed soar with likes and comments!

Books To Read:- Whether you have a kindle or just want to ponder through your home bookshelf to find a great read, a book can never disappoint. This is a great time to read short stories or Murakami novels as they can be a huge mood buster and will be over sooner than you think. Poetry is another genre you can experiment, especially if you like reading something before you go to bed or during lunch breaks!
