The cynosure of all eyes

Statement danglers

A must-have for every modern woman’s dresser, is a pair of statement earrings!

Desi nose rings

The way Desi women frame their faces and enhance their features is culturally rich and unique. One of our favourite Indian fashion accessories is the majestic ‘nath’ or nose ring. These beauties can be as elaborate and intricate as ever, and can also be minimal and chic without losing their Indian essence. Naths have made their appearance in several important desi fashion moments - from big fat Indian weddings to the Cannes red carpet.

Artistic eye fashion

Another brilliant and stylish way to express your personal style is bold eye makeup. If you are a nude and neutral lover, you can go for a more toned-down and highlighted approach. If you love standing out with a colourful flair, opt for a more elaborate and avant-garde eye look. Either way, this eye-fashion technique is sure to transform your look! Yes, this idea does need some skill-building but if makeup is your jam, you can definitely pull this one off!
