2008-01-21T13:02:00.000-08:00

1.THOU SHALT BE WORKED OUT

Lets face it,we all know that the joys of going down one size are myriad.And we also know that fashion definitely looks good on bodies that are fit!So,exercise,climb those stairs,join the gym,walk that park!

2.THOU SHALT EAT SENSIBLY

You are what you eat.Snack on fresh fruits and raw vegetables.Drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins from your system.

3.THOU SHALT WEAR NICE CLOTHES

Make your wardrobe an eclectic mix of expensive basics like a great blazer,a gorgeous dress and team it with cheap accessories.Clothes are a personal choice, spend time mixing and matching them, so that it reflects your personality.

4.THOU SHALT WEAR A LITTLE MAKEUP

Girls look prettier with a little makeup,a little touch up here and there makes all the difference.Why not go for a few basics?mascara always opens your eyes up,lip gloss,a light gel based foundation,a little blusher.A soft black or brown kohl pencil and a great tube of lipstick makes evening makeup easy!

5.THOU SHALT ALWAYS SMELL NICE

Beat the BO with lashings ofdeodarants and always invest in very good perfume.

6.THOU SHALT WEAR GOOD SHOES

There is absolutely no excuse for wearing shoes that are dirty,scuffed,down at the heel or downright ugly.Daytime needs comfortable wide toe designs but jazz up your evenings with strappy little confections.

7.THOU SHALT WAX,POLISH AND DEPILATE

Good grooming makes heads turn.Visit the salon atleast once in two weeksfor great facials and clean ups that makes you glow from head to toe.

8.THOU SHALT HAVE GREAT HAIR

From the traditional oil massage to shampooing regularly with the best and regular conditioning treatments,look after your hair.The best cuts and color is something you must indulge in.

9.THOU SHALT HAVE MANICURES AND PEDICURES

Hands and feet send out strong signals about the kind of person you are.So make sure you dont get caught with cracked and broken down nails and heels.

10.THOU SHALT BUY A FULL LENGTH MIRROR

Never leave the house before checking out the front and back.Paste it on the wall ,get a great glass or mirror.

Earlier Jennifer Aniston was known as the queen of effortless casual chic.Now ,everyone from Rachel Bilson to Reese Witherspoon are catching on.Even teen queens like Hayden Panettiere and high school musical hottie Vanessa hudgens have mastered this chic style.

I love how vanessa combines all her oufits with boho inspired beads.

In the first picture,a basic black tee is livened up with a long beaded chain,and the tiny turquiose beads adds a pop of colour to the seeminly boring outfit.I also love the way her hair is done,with a loose side plait,and keeping up with the current trend the headband adds sophistication to the outfit.

In the second picture,she combines this beatiful bright purple top with skinny jeans,and once again the boho inspired bracelets,a whole lot of them.notice that she keeps all other accessories to a minimum.

I hereby declare rachel bilson as the new queen of casual chic!

In the first pic,a basic ensemble consisting of black skinny jeans,and an off white top is made interesting with a bright yellow knit stole.and i absolutely love her booty-esque shoes.

In the second pic,Rachel Bilson looks like head to toe perfection,in a perfectly coordinated masterpiece while shopping at barneys new york.The beautiful tan coloured high neck,baloonsleeve jacket is complemented by the tan,jane mayle boots.The black buttons on the jacket complements the black bag and the basic black tee underneath .

In the third pic,a common black and white striped tee is combined with the very 'IN' leather jacket,skinny black jeans and black boots.

In the last pic,she proves that you need not be tall to wear a long coat.And the olive coloured coat is perfect for protecting against the cool weather.

Now that we have decoded the casual chic look,try different combinations of basic blacks,whites,olives,navy and gray to achieve the ever so stylish EFFORTLESS CASUAL CHIC LOOK.
