With Diwali just a week away, I have come up with some smart fashion and decor ideas to prep you up for this festive season. Do have a read!
1. Give A Grand Welcome:
If you’re a family get together or planning to invite some guests then even plan for giving your guests a hearty welcome. For this, you can decorate your hallway with beautiful lighting fixtures in different colors. You can either place a vibrant floor rug or go for a bunch of small yet colorful lanterns made up of stained glass. You can also put a stained glass kandeel atop your dining table to give a contemporary feel.

2. The Half Sari Fashion:
While lehengas, sarees and anarkalis are the expected ethnic wears for any festive season, you can add a twist to your festive fashion by opting for a graceful half sari this year. Now get rid of the hassles of draping your heavy 9-yard ensemble, instead flaunt your curves in this South Indian classic just like Deepika did in Chennai Express. You can ditch the embellished pallu this time for tulle drapes.

4. Bold Lips:
Bold and dark lips are quite a rage this season. So, you can just go with the trend and paint your pout in a gorgeous shade of pomegranate. This particular color falls between burgundy and scarlet. However, do remember if you’re going for dark lips then keep the rest of your make-up clean and nude.

5. Flaunt Your Lashes:
Eyes are the most significant areas in make-up. You can enhance your eyes by grooming your lashes. Apply lip balm to your lashes every night to have naturally thicker and fuller eyelashes. Do not forget to rinse them off next morning. MAC offers splendid false lashes, which can instantly enhance the beauty of your eyes. You can also try for them if you do not have thick and full eyelashes.
