Ms Coco Queen : GOOD TASTE IN BAD BOYS !?
Those smirky smiles, dashing looks, lofty bank
accounts, pompous attitude, audacious acts, lady killers and most importantly
they may or may not call you back, but you still wait for their call -
wonder why goody two shoe girls drool over bad boys? Remember Charlie Sheen,
Chris Brown, Russell Brand and the ultimate good girl, Whitney Huston‘s ex
husband Bobby Brown or Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl) and Charlie Harper (Two and a
Half Men) from reel life. So why do I always hear that good girls like bad
guys or that bad guys like good girls? Is it the same old reason of opposites
attract or a game of conquest?
What is it?
Is it a jigsaw puzzle? where two
oddly natured individuals interlock perfectly with each other to
produce a perfect bond.
He has the money and she has the zest.
He has the wheels and she wants the thrill.
He has the night and she wants the life.
He knows the crowd and she wants to be popular.
He knows places and she wants to travel.
His life is unpredictable and she wants the same.
In a way, the bad boy amplifies the good girls life and that’s what brings out the best in both singletons.
He has the money and she has the zest.
He has the wheels and she wants the thrill.
He has the night and she wants the life.
He knows the crowd and she wants to be popular.
He knows places and she wants to travel.
His life is unpredictable and she wants the same.
In a way, the bad boy amplifies the good girls life and that’s what brings out the best in both singletons.
Too good to be true but bad boys are brutally
honest!
Girl- "Do I look fat in this?"
Boy- "Yes!"
Boy- "Yes!"
Girl- "How many girls have you dated?"
Boy- "I have lost count!"
Boy- "I have lost count!"
Girl- "Do you see us getting married?"
Boy- "No!"
Boy- "No!"
Bad boys may be smooth talkers but not necessarily
sweet talkers! Such guys don't say things to make you feel nice instead they
keep things clear and straight hence "no strings attached" which also
unfolds their confident nature. These traits makes them even more attractive to
good girls as they look for true and fearless people.
Or is it because good girls go head over heels by
the rebellious, mysteries, edgy bad boy but at the same time find solace in
trying to bring a change in the bad boys life for 'good'? On the other hand,
bad boys like girls who are profoundly nice, all sugar talk, talented and hard
to get. Hence, an exhibit showcasing that they can rule and conquer anything
they lay eyes on. Basically, both the good and the bad are strong minded
individuals who have opposite ways to satisfy their inner need.
So the reason may be unknown or probably it’s just
the perfect Yin-Yang balance OR do you have the answer? Have you fallen for a
bad boy/ girl? What was your reason? Let me know!
LOVE,

Ms. Coco Queen's Styllogy 109: 'Exercise ? I Thought You Said Accessorize!'
Hey my Chicas !
After Long working hours, relationship hiccups, weekend hangovers
or uninvited relatives. Who gets time for a religious work out to shed those
junk cravings and the air for that matter!? But like time waits for no one the
weight scale is also ticking to higher scales! So what can you do to keep it
stylish with your problem areas checked as well? Well you don’t need a thinking
cap for this one, just hear accessorize when someone says exercise!
Read on,
these easy ways will do the trick for you.
- Let Your Hair Down
Ever wondered while sitting
on a salon chair staring at the hair stylist through the mirror – can he make
me look thinner? Your prayers just got
answered because yes he can! Choosing the right hair cut is essential,
something that elongates your face ( go for longer lengths, soft layering, side
swept bangs) making your face look
thinner . Highlighting is another option, it brighten ups your face making it
look younger and thinner, we are obviously not talking about going pink like
Nicky Minaj but something subtle and natural will flatter any face.
- Bags Day Out
Your heels need not be terribly high but even a few inches tall will
bring a dramatic change in your appearance. Shoes with an open toe will give
your thighs and calves a slimmer appearance than a closed-toe shoe will. Also shoes
with pointy toes will help make your legs seem longer. Always remember matching
your shoes to your hose or tights, when wearing a skirt or a dress will help
your legs look thinner.
- Divided You Stand
At times its essential with dresses and maxis to give a break for a more
structured hence slimmer look and corset belts just do trick. Corset belts will
actually function like a waist clincher. Try placing the corset belt just under
your bust, to visually thin down your ribcage or create a more defined waist by
cinching it at your waist.
- Your Magic Wand
Big eyes and tanned cheeks! No
no me ain’t talking about lady Gaga but make up is one of the
elements that can do wonders. Use eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara in order to
pop out those eyes. The bigger your eyes, the slimmer your face features will
look. Natural or artificial, a natural
tan with the help of a bronzer will elongate your face and therefore make it
look slimmer. Same bronzer trick can be used on your legs for those long Blake
lively legs!
- After All You Heard Accessorize!
From chunky neck pieces and beautiful chandelier
earrings to boyfriend watches and big cuffs all these extravagant accessories
will help you look slimmer by taking the attention of your problem area hence
never wear anything bright or chucky on something you are trying to hide. Thanks
to stores like Forever21, Forever New, Claire and Accessorize finding the perfect piece for your
perfect dress isn’t difficult anymore!
- LOVE !
Love is the best accessory u can ever
flaunt. Love yourself and the confidence and oomph in your attitude will say it
all.

Ms. Coco Queen | Styllogy 108: 'Guess Who's Back!' Vol. II
Hey Girls !
How are my ladies doing? Fashionably Great!?
As far as the Delhi weather forecast suggests, its gonna pour today ! I really hope it does so that we can welcome our monsoon Styllogy trend lessons ! As of now and as promised we are back with Styllogy: Guess Who's Back"s Volume 2, where we talk about fashion comebacks. And yes!!! Flare/bell bottom jeans has again make a comeback BUT with a high waist twist. Flared pants continue to be in style for women this summer, staying current after their return to the runway in the spring season. The trousers are high-waisted in 2012.
70’s inspired jeans, simply known as Flare Jeans are tight to the knee and then flare out to the hem. Vanessa Hudgens to Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie, each and every popular celebrity is wearing a pair of flared jeans in many styles. Be a crisp white collar shirt 'tucked in' to office or a feminine top to a romantic date, flared jeans are the best as they are both flattering as well as comfortable. These jeans offer classic retro style with an updated and wearable twist.
Tips to get the look right!
1. Body type: For women with curvy figures, avoid pockets as they accentuate the hips. Pockets add bulk at the hips and draw attention to the area. With optimal fit, flared pants create a balanced look that flatters the female body. Fabrics can be dressy silks or relaxed denim
2. Correct shoes: This style looks fantastic with stilettos, wedges and even boots. Flare jeans perfectly and easily can be tucked into boots just like other jeans.
3. Tote bag: Bigger the better ! Team your over sized bag with the flare pants look.
4. Slim belts: High or low waisted pants, just tuck your shirt neatly in and pair a slim / petite belt and it will just perfectly add the touch to accentuate your formal or even casual look.
So Time for Styllogy 108 3W's: What-Who- Where !
Read on ladies:

Ms. Coco Queen | Styllogy 107: 'Guess Who's Back!' Vol. I - BACKLESS
Hey Chicas !
In the earlier Styllogy classes, all my gorgeous girls have seen- skulls, studs and spikes, from neon, sequin and floral to mullet hem and arm party, so spring - summer '12 has offered a lot of new and distinguished fashion. But my ladies thats not all ! Spring - summer 2012 is not just about the new but the come back of the old as well. So any guesses who's back ? A two volume Styllogy lesson back to back and this time the comeback maker is BACKLESS !
Back Is Back, stunners !
Showing off a lot of skin but yet keeping it classy? Not a fan of too much cleavage? Then my gorgeous you will be glad to know that BACK IS BACK. From the red carpets to the streets, backless is becoming popular each passing fashionable day. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Adriana Lima, Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow etc. just love their backless dresses.
Back less is the new definition of sexy, subtle. A trend which you can carry of with easy self confidence and panache! After all its unlike the often tacky and consciences cleavage act. Cocktail dresses, mini frocks, tops and dresses, backless hits base. Day or night, romantic or formal, a crowing up-do, flawless skin and seamless lingerie, you damsels are all set to ablaze !
Time for Styllogy 107- 3W's- What Who Where

RAZOR BACKLESS
FROCK-EY BACKLESS
PLUNGE BACKLESS

ASYMMETRIC BACKLESS
Coco's backless tip #3- You don't have to just go bare back. Add a peekaboo effect with asymmetric back straps and style. More Fun !
CASCADING BACK NECKLACE
Coco Backless Tip #4- Draw complete attention to your back with back neck pieces !
