FROM THE EDIT ROOM

NOSTALGIC SUMMERS Come summer and we are reminded of our childhood. The time spent at the grandparent’s, the lazy afternoons, biting into that juicy mango and cooling off at the poolside. Even the school days were spent anticipating the things we could possibly do on the impending summer. Fast-forward to the present, we are missing out on the little things we enjoyed the most growing up. So this summer, step out and make memories, throw a BBQ for your friends and family. Engross yourself with activities that rejuvenate your spirit and let it take over your body, mind and soul. You can take one of the walking tours in your city, explore your neighborhood or go on a hike and gain new experiences.

ON COVER

If you are planning to hit the mall, upgrade your wardrobe in sync with the latest summer trends inculcating bright and bold colors. This summer’s fashion style is bringing back the 80’s with mom jeans tucked into your ankle length boots, headbands, tracksuits and sheer lace shirts. Incorporate

jumpsuits, fanny packs and puffy sleeved outfits for your daily wear. Define your figure with pencil skirts and waist belts. Summer 2018 is the time for plaid and polka dotted outfits as well as pairing your floral dresses with sneakers. The blistering heat can affect your skin and health. Don’t forget to slather on some sunscreen, stay hydrated and take care of yourself. Check out our new launches for the latest fashion and beauty musthaves this summer as well as for home goods, food and beverages and gadgets. Make the most of your time this summer so that by the end of it, you’ll have something to take pride in, something that would stay with you.

Until next time….
