Styling in My Mahabharat

I am a person with wild dreams. And one of my wildest dreams is making my own Magnum Opus on Mahabharat, which focuses specifically on Abhimanyu & Uttara. The story is being written by me, and I am doing my best for all of it. Styling, is something that I am focusing on, as it makes me happy.

I am not the biggest fan of the clothing in Star Plus Mahabharat because:

The clothing was too simple. Only the borders had designs.

The clothing was repeated a bit too much, where was the variety?

The jewelry clearly seemed...phony. Rich n royal=/= heavy gold tbh.

So, I watched some styling videos of many period films, and here I am, with my ideas!

First of all, we need to incorporate materials like silk, cotton and muslin. These three should be the primary, and the difference b/w the three can clearly show a difference in hierarchy. Muslin can be shown to be worn during the night/summers.

We have Banarasi and Kanjivaram sarees, we have Bandhni and Patola prints, we have zari work. I would def include these in the costumes.

For jewelries, simple, but designs from various parts of the country will look good. One or two heavy necklaces are enough, IMO, to show the grandeur of the era. Plus other jewelries like hair ornaments, earrings, bangles, armbands and kamarbandhas are here.

Different designs of armor for the men are a must, probably modelled after what Arjun wore in Star Plus Mahabharat. His armor suited his body type, and looked very good on his figure, over all.

Hairstyles have to include flower ornaments like gajra. They are not worn on "wedding nights" pls, how do these ppl find flowery stuff romantic when someone else is wearing it?!

And now, I shall style my main characters, Abhimanyu and Uttara. If this is successful, I shall do the others too-

Abhimanyu

This is gonna be pretty short. What are the main things for styling a male?

I imagine Abhimanyu with long hair, not too long, but till his neck. Not completely straight, slightly wavy.

One thing I love about StarBharat is the tilaks they have done, for the Kuru men, with the moon and other designs. I will keep that one for sure.

Since Abhimanyu has lived majority of his life in Dwarka, some traditional prints/jewelry designs of Gujarat/Maharashtra will be a great inclusion.

As for ornaments, nothing particular is necessary, except two bracelets, one neckpiece, and two earrings. My headcanon has Abhimanyu wearing an armband, and a single ring.

And colors...hmm, purple is a good option, as that color is associated with royalty. The color blue is a great choice, since it symbolizes freedom and sensitivity, as well as faith and stability. Red is a must, as it is associated with bravery, and dark red means vigor, willpower, and rage. Abhimanyu is canonically short tempered, his name means "extremely wrathful". And red is associated with sacrifice as well, so it is def his color.

As I am going to show Abhimanyu be 21, his headpiece in the armor from StarBharat goes away, as it gives him a boy-ish look. Without it, however, changes his look completely, and I don't want anything in his outfit making him seem boy-ish.

Uttara

Uttara's details in my mind are far different from what is shown in StarBharat. I have kept the same cast as they look cute together in my story, yes, and I hate Uttara's styling.

Her clothing is exquisite, just like her mother's. Matsya is canonically rich, and her maternal side is from Kekaya, what do you expect? Uttara's clothes are flowy, to allow easy movements.

The material of the fabric will be silk, with Kanjivaram, Zari and Banarasi type of embroideries on them. I am showing Matsyadesa to have a riverine trade route, so she should have access to all types of fabrics. Some traditional Rajasthani prints have to be there too.

Jewelry is not too much, but well made and designed. Uttara is interested in dressing up, and it is obvious that she shall have a large collection of ornaments.

The colors shall be pink, as it symbolizes innocence and softness, off white and yellow, which symbolize purity and joy respectively, and blues, lemons and greens as well. Her color scheme rarely has dark shades, as it is symbolic.

Her hairstyles range from a braid, to a bun and a bun with a braid coming out of it (kind of like the typical dance hairstyle).

Sindoor is a must, and there are no veils here. Uttara does own various mini-chudamani style ornaments, which she wears from time to time. Blouses are strapless mostly, some times some of them have straps.

fem!dom with midorima.

request: can i request oneshoot or hcs abt tsundorima with a femdom s/o? thanks, i hope our lives is full of crack and fluff too since this day.

# tags: headcanon; current relationship; fem!dom; romance; fluff; soft!shintarou; sfw & suggestive (a bit)

includes: female reader ft. shintarou midorima {knb}

author’s note: thank you for your request! i hope you’re happy today!

↘ I can literally see it in my head that’s the kind of girl that suits Shintarou; dominant, self-confident, likes elegant clothes, always having a good hair day, enjoys to put on make-up, knows her rights and strengths, and wears nice high heels with stockings or tights. The kind of person who could calm her boyfriend down and take good care of him, while sometimes making him shy around her and a little goofy.

↘ You’ve known each other for a few years, and for a little over three of them you’ve been in a stable and really intriguing relationship. I think it would be nice if you were a bit older than him (e.g. two or three years).

↘ For me, he just likes older and mature women who advise him on hairstyles, gifts for his mother or tactics for the next game.

↘ If you’re both in high school – you like to study together and spend time at Shuutoku team training. I think you always take care of his health and make him a really delicious lunches, packed in a nice napkins. You take care of him and always cheer him on (sometimes you have a self-made banner in your hands!) when he plays an important match or friendly sparring with another school.

↘ If you are studying, you spend a lot of time together outside the university. The decision to live together will certainly come from your lips, and he will gladly agree to it (since the beginning of the relationship, he really wanted to live with you, although he never said it out loud). If you study at the same university – you always drive your own car to it, and then he thanks you with a light kiss on the forehead. If you study at other universities, I think you always pick him up and take him out for a good dinner or some interesting place.

↘ On the other hand, if you both work, I think you’re the one who makes a lot of decisions about your future. You like to keep an eye on everything, no matter if it’s a joint trip abroad, wedding plans or what movie you’ll watch that evening.

↘ Although Midorima’s friends often joke about his approach to relationship with you and how submissive he is around you, once they finally get to know you, they will quickly understand his behavior.

↘ It’s hard not to be calm and obedient when a really beautiful girl in great-fitting clothes, high boots and with that cocky, sly smile with red lipstick is watching your movements.

↘ And if you additionally smoke a cigarette at this time or glance at your interlocutor with a foxy look while sipping wine from a tall glass, it’s much more difficult to be perky and be noisy around you.

↘ You like to spoil your boyfriend with small and big presents. He also likes to do it, but let’s be honest. Not only do you dominant in life or in bed, you are also a bit of a sugar mommy who will come up with the idea of ​​a gift in the form of a trip to the SPA or a new phone more than once.

↘ You are very affectionate towards your boyfriend, but at the same time you worry about him a lot. So it’s no wonder you’ve made a habit of stroking his head while you’re talking about the day in the sheets.

↘ Shintarou adores you and whenever he has a problem he immediately goes to you to hear some tips, even if his problems are really easy to solve. You are a good speaker and your advice is extremely valuable to him. Plus, he loves it when you just touch his thigh or push him tighter between your breasts during serious conversations.

↘ He’s in love with you so badly and takes separation very hard, so don’t forget to send him a message or a nice picture in new clothes or in an elegant pose in front of the mirror to show him new long boots or a nice dress with an open back. He definitely adores it.

Idk if it's the gray hair having a big impact, but my already thick and impossible hair has snapped several new Bobby pins and broken teeth off a comb as I have attempted to find an easy hairstyle for this wedding.

(Despite all the family stress, it is a lowkey event, but it will be hot so I want my hair up, and I do not have the patience for long updos. ...also they make my head hurt. Hair too thick.)

I know gray hair is supposed to be harder to color and control, but I have never heard of it making thick hair even thicker???

OC-tober Day 4: Redesign

[full prompt list]

A continuation of yesterday's, let's talk about the Sages' many redesigns! But first: some redraws :3c

[2018 -> 2023]

Full ramble under the cut. Read more at your own risk, it is long.

The Sages got their most recent redesigns in 2021. My main focus was making the Sages more unique in their looks, so it's not entirely just recolors of Sage. This is also when I made them all non-human. Lets go down the line.

[same picture as yesterday, i only have the one]

Again, theyre supposed to all be vaguely matchy. They all have bangs on the same side, they've all got some extra color at the ends of their hair, and they all have details under their eyes (freckles for Red, eyebags for Grey, scars for Yellow, blush for Blue). Aside from that, I kinda went wild with these versions.

The primary Sage's (Red Yellow and Blue) are all supposed to look very similar to Sage. Grey is the black sheep of the group, that should be clear on first glance. Red, though, is supposed to look the Most like Sage, because they have the most in common. The two are from similar time periods and, with the addition of Red being a werewolf, similar situations of hiding themselves. Being a werewolf also draws more attention to Red's anger issues, her original defining trait. It's really easy to tell when she's angry. Because she turns into a big dog. Older Red design had a red scarf across her midsection like a belt, because that's where her killing wound was. When I moved her wound to her heart (because its more poetic <3), the scarf came with! Technically, that dangling section is supposed to always cover her left side. I don't do that tho. ALSO as you may have noticed: Red used to be continually covered in blood. Her new design is less murderous, so that got removed, but I kept a subtle reference to it in her hair. Like really subtle. Here's a close up.

[red's blood-patterned hair, usually covered up by shading]

Anne (Grey's past life) was only given a design in 2019, for the Labyrinth OCT, based off of Grey's old design. Then when I redesigned Grey, I actually based her more off of Anne. Real telephone game going on. Stuff like the wrist/ankle scars just came from Anne's design. For this version of her, I flattened out her hair near the top to better resemble Sage and the others' hairstyles. It also looks pretty :3 Her full lore about what she is is.... so complicated. It's not important. She's a special type of ghost that makes her grayscale ok. I only made her skin pale instead of pure grey because it helps her stand out from Anne. Anne for reference:

[part of Anne's transition to Grey involved cutting off those dress sleeves]

Yellow got the most emo hairstyle of them all, which I think is funny, because she's also the oldest and most well-adjusted. This is when I moved her eye injury to her right side, so I can cover it up and not draw it. I generally just had a lot of problems with Yellow's eyes. I hated drawing glasses realistically, it was the main thing that kept me from drawing Yellow more on previous designs, so I decided to go full cartoon this time. And man I love it. Yellow is an elf btw, specifically from a modern fantasy 1960s-ish. Her main design inspo has always been "librarian" and I love to lean into it, BUT. This design was where I started letting her be a badass too. Hence the mysterious scars. Plus her conspiratorial streak and her wedding ring? God I made her so cool. Best redesign of the set.

And finally, a robot!! Originally, Blue was my excuse for memes and references. They were a gamer. They were a 4th wall breaker. I changed that last one for this design, meta powers revoked. But I let them keep the gamer references by making them from the future. Blue used to be just Some Teen Ghost, which was boring and realistic. I wanted them to have a full job and backstory. So I made them a fnaf reference. To emphasize the roboticness, I started drawing their hair goofy and blocky. I also switched their method of death from hanging to gunshot, to match all the others. Plus, I don't think hanging a robot would work. This moved their wound to their head, but again, hey I don't wanna draw a fucked up eye wound all the time. Solution: robot-based memory problems! Blue already had a thing for ignoring negative emotions, so it only makes sense they'd block out their own death. Their eye's still not entirely functional, though.

Hey, they weren't in yesterday's post, but let's talk about Violet too! Violet has always been a thing with the Sages, and funny enough, their name was always Violet. What exactly they are, though, has changed so many times. With this redesign, I offically made them Blue's "alter ego" (it fit with the fnaf references). Think of it as Blue but with all of those nasty memories. That means you get to see the eye wound on this one! They're also missing their ear on that side. And a solid chunk of their head.

[this Violet is from a meme redraw but I cut out the context]

These are my oldest ocs and I care about them so much. I put so much thought into these. I'm happy I finally get to type this all out. Here's a direct comparison of their hair and skin colors, look at the detail i put into this.

Blue's is technically just desaturated cause that's what mixing blue with orange does.

[fourseasonsfigs]

Xuxu 【雙徐】♥️

This pair of figs looks like Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan - but it's actually two of their characters!

This Double Xu features Zhehan as (modern) Xu Jin from The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion, and Gong Jun as Xu Si from Rising with the Wind (to be aired).

I still have The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion on my to-watch queue, so I haven't caught up with our sparkly-eyed modern Duke Su yet. I don't want to spoil myself (or you!) so I'll simply add a promo pic of him for fig comparison purposes:

Keen-eyed observation notes he looks broad shouldered and super cuddly in that soft looking cardigan.

Wait a minute, the fig is of him in a suit, not a cardigan! Hold on, hold on, let me get a promo pic of him in a suit...

Hmm, there we go. That suit matches the fig, although it needs the coat over it. I'll come back once I've properly watched the show!

Xu Si is Gong Jun's genius investor character from Rising with the Wind, which should be hopefully airing soon. Xu Si was spotted during filming wearing a lot of very beautiful suits and coats, such as:

But let's not talk about that so much in order to jump right to the fig maker's bonus for the first 1,000 buyers.

The fig maker offered this lovely bonus of an A5 folder with artwork of the two of them. This is what you saw featured as a fig background and you can see the full view of here:

Rooftop proposals are always in style! And YES, let's talk about this.

You may recognize that handsome pose from this handsome photo:

Yes, here we have Gong Jun wearing a gorgeous long coat over a gorgeous tuxedo and looking like a 100 million billion dollars yuan. This photo shoot of him striding across the Shanghai Peninsula Hotel helipad like he owns Shanghai himself, his long coat billowing and snapping in the wind, is pretty much everything I've ever wanted in a visual ever.

This photo shoot was done on 12-21-2021, during filming of Rising with the Wind.

Hot damn. If you will recall from me raving about Zhehan's Weibo Night McQueen frock coat, I have an intense weakness for long coats. They are my favorite. He is debonair in this.

Incredible. Wow, do we ever have exceptional taste, I must congratulate us.

Ok, I could stay here all night staring at these photos, but we have figs to talk about!

Look at that dapper suit and tux and those shiny shoes! Those Oxfords are polished to a mirror shine. I like it when each other has the other's symbol in their eyes, so we have Gong Jun Xu Si (ugh, it's hard to stay in the JZUniverse for this!) staring at his moon and Xu Jin literally starry-eyed looking at his beautiful star.

You notice the ring in Xu Ji's hand? Yep. Really, these figs are a blend of JZEU and Junzhe.

The white rose Zhehan / Xu Jin is holding is of course a nod to Zhehan's comment that if he ever confessed his love, he would confess it with a white rose, as well as Gong Jun's single white rose his assistant was spotted with during filming:

Oops, so easy to get distracted by all the symbolism. Onwards!

Love the detail on the rose here, and little flip in the back of Xu Si's coat (it must get windy on that helipad indeed!). The fig maker did a nice job with the hair - really captured Xu Jin's hairstyle from the show, and we have Xu Si's expensive layered cut.

Interestingly not much of a height difference on these figs. Xu Jin is pretty tall in the future. We have a bit of a forward lean on both of these handsome men, but otherwise they stand pretty well.

I like the coat detail of each of their hands in their pockets. Ugh I love the long coat even from the back, that's how deep the love for gorgeous long coats goes.

Top view - they're very seriously and cutely talking about their upcoming wedding plans.

Extreme closeup of their outfits, the rose, and the ring! I love Xu Jin's uwu mouth (because of course I do, that mouth shape is so cute!)

Xu Si's Serious Investor Face together with his Serious Investor Mouth looks frowny from this angle (sorry guys, I don't look good in an upshot angle myself!), but from a regular straight on view he just looks Serious. Well, I guess proposing to the love of your life IS the most Serious Business there can be!

Look at the heel on these shoes! The detail in these! I love it. What a great set of figs.

I'm not sure why there's chocolate bars on the box cards, but I'm not here to question artistic choices in fig designs. Maybe a better question is why not have chocolate bars on the box cards?

Now I kind of do want some chocolate. Advertising of the cutest kind! I'll buy it all!

Material: PVC (and apparently different percentages of cocoa)

Fig Count: 201

Scene Count: 17

Rating: Handsome and delicious!

All the Missing Pieces - Ch 5

PREVIEW from Chapter 5:

Then suddenly there was a voice, familiar and strange at once. ‘Marinette!’

Conversation didn’t so much stop as crash straight into the ground. Their heads turned in slow unison, and there was Lila.

Lila Rossi.

She had changed, of course. She looked…phenomenal. Gone were the little girl dungarees and the pseudo anime princess hairstyle. She was taller, especially in stilettos, and wore a fitted scarlet maxi dress, silk from the look of it, with a deeply scooped neck that left little to the imagination and barely-there spaghetti straps. The skirt had a long slit up the side, allowing a glimpse of one long leg, frustrating when it stopped at the thigh. Her brown hair cascaded over her shoulders and down her back.

Every man who had been flirting joking with Marinette a second ago now gaped at this gate crasher, their jaws almost indenting the floor. Some of the women, too. And especially Hugo.

‘Lila?’ Marinette squeaked out like she had just received news that she’d been fired from the show. And the house had burned down. And everyone she knew had died. And there was a meteor on a collision course with the Earth…which was being sucked into a black hole.

Before she could react, Lila was forcing a hug on her. Marinette hung in her arms, white with shock. Then Lila held her at arm’s length, examining her.

Adrien could not help but compare them. Lila was stunning, there was no question. Oozing with glamour, she brought to mind that old expression ‘sex on legs’. Yet, Marinette was still more beautiful.

He stepped into place beside his wife and linked arms with her. Lila eased back and scanned him from head to toe, making him feel like he’d forgotten to put on clothes, despite wearing his most expensive suit.

‘Adrien and Marinette.’ She smiled like a cat eyeing up a mouse. ‘I can’t believe it. After all these years. I heard about your wedding, of course, ages ago. But being here, in person….’ She shook her head like she was having a personal encounter with one of the wonders of the modern world.

‘Why are you here?’ Marinette snapped.

Lila either didn’t notice Marinette’s tone or decided to ignore it. ‘Your first fashion showcase, Marinette. As soon as Alya told me, I just had to go. Getting tickets at the last second – especially for this quaint little party – wasn’t easy. But, you know….’ She gave a bashful little smile. ‘Being an ambassador has its perks.’

Marinette was now staring at Alya in a way Adrien had not seen since they were in school. Like Alya had betrayed her.

French Hair Clips and Claws: The Perfect Hair Accessories for Every Occasion

Hair accessories are an easy and versatile way to add some style and interest to any hairstyle. Whether you have long or short hair, there is a hair accessory that can work for you. Among the most popular hair accessories are French hair clips and claws. These hair accessories are not only functional, but they also add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any look.

French Hair Clips

French hair clips, also known as French barrettes, are one of the most classic and timeless hair accessories. They are typically made of metal and have a clasp that is designed to hold the hair securely in place. French hair clips come in a variety of sizes, from small and delicate to large and statement-making. They can be used to hold back hair from the face, to create a half-up, half-down hairstyle, or to secure an updo.

One of the best things about French hair clips is their versatility. They can be worn with any hairstyle, from a simple ponytail to an elaborate updo. French hair clips can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. They can be embellished with decorative elements, such as rhinestones or pearls, to add a touch of glamour to the hairstyle.French hair clips are also a great option for those with thick or curly hair. The clasp on a French hair clip is designed to hold a large amount of hair, making it easier to style thick or curly hair. They are also a great option for those with fine hair, as they are less likely to slip out of the hair than other types of hair clips.

Claw Clips

Claw clips, also known as jaw clips, are another popular type of hair accessory. They are typically made of plastic or metal and have two hinged pieces that open and close like a claw. Claw clips are great for creating a quick and easy updo or for holding back hair from the face.

Claw clips come in a variety of sizes and styles, from small and simple to large and decorative. They can be used to create a sleek and polished look or a more relaxed and messy style. Claw clips are also a great option for those with thick or curly hair, as they can hold a large amount of hair securely in place.

One of the best things about claw clips is their ease of use. They are perfect for those mornings when you are short on time but still want to look put together. Simply gather your hair into a ponytail or bun, secure it with a claw clip, and you are ready to go. Claw clips are also great for those days when you want to keep your hair out of your face but still want to look stylish.

Choosing the Right Hair Accessory

When choosing a hair accessory, it is important to consider the occasion and the style you are going for. French hair clips are great for more formal occasions, such as weddings or fancy dinners, while claw clips are perfect for more casual occasions, such as running errands or going to the gym.

To help you with your bridal makeup, we have compiled the essential makeup guide you need to achieve the perfect Marathi makeup.

A Few Tips and Tricks for a Bride from Maharashtra

1. Hairstyle 

A traditional Maharashtrian bride typically wears her hair in an Ambada with different accessories, a neat and simple bun that makes her look unquestionably regal. As a result, we recommend that you stick to your traditional hairstyle. To add a personal touch, you can make several variations, such as a braided bun or a plaited bun, or different bun accessories, that will look great with your Maharashtrian saree and add a twist to your traditional look.

2. Makeup 

Makeup depends entirely on the look and your skin tone. Airbrush and HD makeup is the best for wedding makeup. If you have oily skin then airbrush makeup is best otherwise HD makeup also gives you a flawless look with intricate embellishments. You can choose between Airbrush and HD makeup. Always listen to the opinion of Professional Makeup Experts on the subject.

3. Outfit 

The traditional outfit adds some extra beauty to your look. Choose the best outfit that goes with the Maharashtrian look. Also if you hire a makeup artist then they will help and suggest what outfit is best for your overall look. 

Which Makeup is Best for a Wedding

Choosing a makeup artist who can make you look gorgeous on your wedding day is really important, but there is something much more important - the makeup technique he/she will use.

Brides all over the world opt for Airbrush or HD makeup that gives you the best look and stunning appearance. This makeup is for all wedding functions. These new makeup techniques leave no blemishes and look amazing on camera.

What are Airbrush and HD Makeup?

The technique for applying both Airbrush bridal makeup and HD bridal makeup is different. HD makeup is applied with high-end HD products that are designed to scatter light on the skin, making it look softer and prettier. Whereas Airbrush makeup requires an applicator brush to apply a layer over light makeup. Airbrush makeup uses a free-hand technique to manipulate distance and pressure to create specific effects and reach. When the trigger is pressed, a fine mist of foundation covers the face for a flawless finish, and the makeup blends seamlessly with the skin.

Which Skin Type HD Makeup is Suitable 

This makeup technique is suitable for all skin types, as it makes makeup more natural than layering. If you're looking for a soft focus and non-dramatic look, then HD Makeup is perfect for you.

Which Skin Type Airbrush Makeup is Suitable 

This makeup technique works wonders for brides with oily skin as the products used are silicone based and stay in place for a long time. However, if you have drier skin, airbrush makeup might not be the best option for you. This type of makeup begins to flake much more easily on dry skin. Because airbrush makeup is waterproof, it is not as creamy as a traditional foundation, according to makeup artists. As a result, it is not suitable for dry skin. This is also an expensive method and you may need to budget.

Conclusion

The MUA's tell you which is the best makeup in HD and Airbrush makeup, though. It depends on you and your makeup artist for your Maharashtrian wedding look, learn about her experience and make sure it matches what you want. They'll wrap up this blog with the key takeaways that will help you decide between Airbrush and HD Makeup.

The MUA's skill is crucial to both HD and Airbrush makeup, though. Before hiring a Makeup Artist for your wedding, learn about her background and make sure it matches what you're looking for.

Salon de Thé - Chapter 8

Location: Garden Terrace Characters: Hajime, Subaru, Kaoru & Chiaki

TL Note:

Negative ions are said to have a positive effect on our health and general well-being.

Kaoru: Thanks for the food~♪

Alrighty, I guess I’ll start working like I promised. I’ll take some orders while I’m on my way to the kitchen, but are you two okay with the tea set?

Hajime: Y-Yes. I’ll switch places with you once I’m finished, so I’ll be leaving things to you just for a short while…!

Kaoru: No no, it’s your long-awaited break. Take your time.

I’ll be taking my time with Anzu-chan, anyway~ ...Oh, looks like Anzu-chan has entered work mode and didn’t hear it.

She’s already gone to the kitchen. She’s so heartless. I guess I’ll start working hard before she scolds me and tells me to work seriously ♪

Hajime-kun, Subaru-kun, what about your drinks? If you don’t have any preferences, I’ll bring a random one over.

Subaru: I’m fine with black tea~ I’ve heard that coffee tastes good with chocolate, but I feel like drinking black tea!

Hajime: I’ll have jasmine tea, please.

Kaoru: Alright, black and jasmine tea. I’ll let Anzu-chan know.

Why not have a fun chat while you wait? Cute girls aren’t the only ones who are allowed to love chatting, you know?

Subaru: You heard him! Shinonon, if you’ve got something you need to tell me, then go ahead. Chatting is fun and all, but listening to your voice when you talk is just as fun.

It has a comfortable tempo, so it’s calming like a lullaby~♪ You’re like that in person too, but even your voice is like a negative ion[*].

Hajime: That’s the first time anyone has told me that. But it makes me happy. I also find it very exciting to talk to you, Akehoshi-senpai. I can learn a lot from you too.

Akehoshi-senpai, please take care of me in the future as well...♪

Subaru: Ahaha, that sounds like something you’d say at a wedding. It feels like my future will be stable if I have Shinonon as my wife!

Hajime: Uuu, I’m a boy, you know~ I’m not a bride~

Due to the concept of being “cute” thrown entirely on us as a marketing tactic, our fans have increased and so have our work offers.

But there are many instances where I’m mistaken for a girl. Perhaps the reason really does lie in my hairstyle…

I can’t cut my hair due to “Ra*bits’” policy, and even if I did, it’ll only be a trim.

I wouldn’t be mistaken for a girl if I wore wild clothing, right?

Subaru: I wonder about that. You’re cute no matter what you wear...♪

Chiaki: Guys, Anzu’s making a face like she’s questioning whether or not she can interrupt. She’s frozen with the tray in her hand.

Subaru: Sorry, sorry. I was too engrossed in our chat!

Mmm, the sweet smell of chocolate ♪

My stomach’s rumbling from demanding sugar, ahahahaha ☆

Hajime: *Inhale, exhale...♪* I can smell the nice fragrance of jasmine tea. I’m in heaven~...♪

Subaru: Shinonon, would you like a sip of black tea? Let me have a sip of your jasmine tea, too ♪

Hajime: Ehehe, of course~

...There’s no harsh taste in this black tea and it’s easy to drink. I wonder if Anzu-san made this. It’s very delicious ♪

Subaru: The jasmine tea has just the right amount of sugar and the taste differs depending on who made it, huh. That’s interesting~

Chiaki: You guys sure get along well together.

Subaru: What? I won’t give you Shinonon even if you’re jealous~ Ohh, Shinonon’s cheeks are so smooth~♪

Hajime: Whaa!? A-Akehoshi-senpai, I was so surprised, I just about to drop my cup~ I’ll have to wash my apron if it gets dirty.

I like doing the laundry, so I’ll wash every spot until the dirt comes off, though…

Black tea stains are hard to come off as time passes, so I’ll probably have to use a special detergent.

Subaru: As expected of Shinonon, you’re so knowledgeable~! I’ll help at times like that, although what I should be doing is making sure I don’t dirty it.

Come on, come on. Let’s eat it before it gets cold. Make a cut in the middle with the fork~ And mix the chocolate and ice cream that has come melting out.

*Munch, munch* It’s so good ☆

Hajime: *Chew, chew* ...You’re right, the sweetness of the chocolate is spreading throughout my mouth.

It’s melting in my mouth -- I’m on cloud nine~...♪

Chiaki: Hm, Shino. You’ve got chocolate near your mouth. Anzu has left a paper napkin, so use that to wipe your mouth.

Hajime: Ahh, it was so delicious, I was too focused on eating. Uuu, you must have thought I’m a gluttonous boy. H-How embarrassing…

Chiaki: No, the way you ate it was splendid. That’s what a boy has to eat like!

You can’t be full with just the chocolate fondant, and similarly, I’m not fully satisfied, either.

If Akehoshi and Shino are with me, then we can split it together. It’ll be my treat, of course.

Do you guys have anything you want to eat?

Subaru: Shinonon, if you want to eat something, then why not tell us? It’s Chii-chan-senpai’s treat, you should order something you don’t usually get to eat~☆

Hajime: What!? Oh no, I can’t~ I’ll pay even if I’m in debt!

Subaru: No can do. I’ll pay if you’ll end up in debt.

Shiny money is appealing, but I don’t want to shut it away and never use it. Money is made to be spent.

If you can’t finish it, you can take it home and give it to your family as a gift.

Shinonon, you whispered, “I want my family to taste this too” when you were eating the chocolate fondant, right?

Hajime: So you heard me. I felt sorry, seeing as I was the only one eating such delicious food…

I’ve made you both be considerate of me as well. I can see I’m being supported by the kindness of many people.

The same goes with this time’s “school part-time job”.

I’m far from receiving only a small amount of happiness, I was really really happy being able to work part-time and have tea with you, Akehoshi-senpai.

I’m so happy, and my chest feels so full -- I feel like I’ll start crying...♪

Top Bridal Hairstyles for Sarees to Rock This Wedding Season!

The saree is an article of clothing that embodies classic Indian style and a few customs. If you’re a bride-to-be wearing a saree, your entire look might be improved with the appropriate wedding hairdo and jewelry. Considering all the options, selecting a bridal hairstyle for a saree might be difficult. It is a crucial element that completes your bridal style for the big day while enhancing the attractiveness of the saree and blouse. In this blog, you will delve into different bridal hairstyles for sarees to flaunt in the wedding season.

Different bridal hairstyles for sarees

Traditional braid: One of the most popular wedding bridal hairdo choices is a classic braid. It’s a classic bridal hairstyle that looks great with the saree. This is a timeless hairdo that you can choose for your wedding. The classic braid can be made more elegant and cohesive with the wedding theme by adding a string of flowers or flowers tucked into the braid.

French Braid: One of the timeless and popular hairstyles that brides adore is the French braid. You can show off this intricate braid on your special day. The three-strand braid is an elegant and detailed hairstyle that accentuates the saree’s beauty.

Layered open hairstyle: The layered type of open hair curl is another simple hairstyle that you can even do yourself. Collect hair from the top and sides of your head and style it into a basic knot-down braid. Make gentle curls with the remaining portion of your bottom hair. For a hairdo that’s perfect for a wedding, finish the ensemble by adding pearls with U-pins.

Outward waves hairstyle: Curling all of your hair outwards is another easy open hairstyle for a long face. A bridal is worn in the top part of the hair. When the hair is colored in the Balayage style, the open hairstyle becomes more pronounced.

Quirky ponytail: Wavy ponytails are an option for brides who find it difficult to maintain their open, wavy hair and don’t want to wear their hair in braids or buns. This type of hair also looks elegant and adds a little of edge to the wedding gown.

Fishtail Braid: One common saree wedding reception hairstyle is the fishtail braid. This elaborate version adds a touch of sophistication and beauty to your saree while blending in flawlessly. The braid’s strands are similar to a fishtail’s perfectly arranged scales.

Arabic bridal hairstyle: Give yourself a night out on the town by getting the most delicate waves for a haircut that goes with your bridal trousseau lehenga. To guarantee that the waves in your hair last all night, ask your hairstylist to marinade it in a lot of mousse.

Messy Bun: The adaptability of the messy bun is what makes it so beautiful. Any hair length-from short and playful to long and flowing works beautifully with it. Even though it could take some light pulling and loosening to get the “perfect” amount of messiness, the outcome is anything but shoddy.

Low Ponytail: An alternative hairstyle is a low ponytail. If you’re searching for a stylish yet cozy hairdo, this is ideal. The saree’s elegance and the ponytail’s modernism combine to create a carefree look for bride’s hairstyle for saree.

 Sharara Set for Wedding: The Ultimate Bridal and Festive Outfit

When it comes to Indian weddings, selecting the perfect outfit can be quite overwhelming with so many stunning options. Among the most regal and stylish choices for brides and wedding guests is the Sharara set. This traditional yet fashionable ensemble has made a huge comeback in recent years and is a must-have for any bride or wedding attendee looking to make a bold statement.

In this article, we’ll explore why Sharara sets for weddings are gaining popularity, how to style them, and what to look for when choosing the perfect set.

What is a Sharara Set?

A Sharara set consists of a pair of flared pants that resemble a long skirt but with a clear division at the legs, paired with a short or long kurti (top) and a dupatta (scarf). The wide-leg silhouette creates a dramatic, flowy look that is both graceful and comfortable, making it a popular choice for weddings and festive occasions.

Originally from the Mughal era, the Sharara set has undergone various transformations but still retains its royal and traditional essence. The contemporary designs combine modern aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship, offering a wide variety of styles to suit different tastes.

Why Choose a Sharara Set for a Wedding?

Here are a few reasons why Sharara sets for women are the go-to outfit for weddings:

Comfort Meets Style: With their loose, wide-legged pants, Sharara sets offer unmatched comfort, allowing freedom of movement throughout the day, which is crucial during wedding ceremonies and celebrations.

Regal Appeal: Whether it’s the intricate embroidery, luxurious fabrics, or the Mughal-inspired design, Sharara sets have an inherent regal charm. They make a striking choice for brides and guests alike.

Versatile Designs: From simple, elegant sets for pre-wedding functions to heavily embroidered and embellished ones perfect for brides, Sharara sets come in a variety of styles and colors. You can choose from intricate zari work, mirror work, or detailed zardozi embroidery depending on the level of opulence you prefer.

Suitability for All Body Types: The flared design of the Sharara pants paired with a structured kurti helps in balancing proportions, making it a flattering outfit for different body types.

How to Style a Sharara Set for a Wedding

Styling a Sharara set can be easy if you focus on a few key elements:

Jewelry: Complement your Sharara set with statement jewelry pieces like chandbalis, jhumkas, or a choker necklace to add to the regal look.

Footwear: Traditional juttis or embellished heels are the perfect companions for Sharara sets. Since the pants are flared, you won’t need to worry about showing off too much footwear, but keeping it traditional adds to the authenticity.

Makeup and Hair: For weddings, opt for a bold makeup look with smokey eyes or traditional winged eyeliner, and a hairstyle that complements your Sharara set, such as loose waves, a side braid, or a sleek bun.

Tips for Choosing the Right Sharara Set for a Wedding

When shopping for a Sharara set for a wedding, keep the following tips in mind:

Fabric: For weddings, fabrics like silk, brocade, georgette, and velvet work best. They add richness and structure to the outfit.

Work and Embroidery: Depending on the function you’re attending, choose from a variety of embellishments like sequin work, gota patti, zari, or mirror work to create a perfect blend of tradition and glamour.

Color: While pastels and light shades work for daytime weddings, rich colors like maroon, deep green, royal blue, and gold are ideal for evening functions and bridal wear.

Fit: Ensure that the kurti is fitted to your body shape, while the Sharara pants should flare out in a way that enhances the overall look. Tailoring can make all the difference.

Sharara Set Trends for Wedding Season 2024

Pastel Hues: Pastel shades like blush pink, mint green, and lilac are trending, especially for summer weddings. These soft shades are often embellished with silver or gold threadwork for a dreamy, ethereal look.

Fusion Styles: Some designers are blending traditional Sharara sets with modern silhouettes, such as asymmetrical hems or crop tops paired with Sharara pants for a contemporary twist.

Minimalistic Embroidery: Less is more this season, with many brides and wedding guests opting for Sharara sets with minimalist embroidery and focusing on fabric quality and cuts.
