Models in Saloni Lodha creations
Summer has just got hotter and this is the perfect time to bring out those dresses which had been languishing in your wardrobe. While choosing a dress, it is important to be the body type and cuts in mind. Most of us don’t have a perfect body. However, it is not impossible to create the illusion of a perfect body by choosing the right dresses and create the appearance of perfect proportions.  The trick is to change your perceived shape to the perfect shape. Fashion designer, Saloni Lodha tells us how to dress right.


Hourglass: If your figure is anything closer to an hourglass, then you probably don’t have to worry much. You most likely have a balanced body vertical body shape and since hip-line and bust-line are the same width and your waist is well defined. So 1950s inspired silhouettes will work well on your body.

Apple: If you have undefined waist and high stomach, then your body shape is mostly apple. The main aim is to create an illusion of longer upper body and floaty summer dress work just right and creates the illusion of an inverted triangle.
Top 10 Rules of Style
Pear: If your bust-line is proportionally narrower than your hip-line and you have a well defined waist. If your bottom is well rounded, you probably have a pear shaped body. Your main aim is to balance your bottom half by creating the appearance of a wider upper body. So dresses which emphasizes on your bust will create a balance. Go for dresses that are straight or slightly flared

Stick: If your full bust-line and full hip-line are about the same width and you have little waist definition, then you probably resemble a stick. You have to add curves by define your waist and shoulders. Dresses that wrap or flow through the waistline with medium to high necklines will help bring out the curves.
Perfumes: How to get them Right
You can never go wrong with a maxidress: This one piece of clothing is here to stay. It can be dressed up or down with the right shoes and accessories.  So go for a maxi dress in bold colours and make a statement!

Japan tsunami's effect in the earth | Japan underestimated tsunami threat: IAEA

TOKYO: Japan underestimated the hazard posed by tsunamis to nuclear plants, the UN atomic watchdog said on Wednesday, while praising Tokyo's response to the March 11 disaster as "exemplary".

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also stressed the importance of "regulatory independence and clarity of roles", touching on the fact that Japan's nuclear watchdog is part of the ministry of trade and industry, which promotes atomic power.

Japan's magnitude 9.0 seabed quake and tsunami caused the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl 25 years ago at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which has since leaked radiation into the air, ground and sea.

The IAEA sent an 18-member team of its own experts and specialists from 12 countries, including the United States, China, Russia and South Korea, on a fact-finding mission to Japan.

"The tsunami hazard for several sites was underestimated," said the IAEA team in the preliminary report it handed to Japan's centre-left government, ahead of a full report to be presented in Vienna later this month.

"Nuclear designers and operators should appropriately evaluate and protect against the risks of all natural hazards, and should periodically update those assessments and assessment methodologies," it said.



The 14-metre (45-foot) wave that slammed into the plant knocked out reactor cooling systems and backup power generators, causing partial reactor meltdowns and forcing emergency crews to douse reactors with water since then.

The embattled operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has said it hopes to bring the plant to a stable state of "cold shutdown", with low pressure and temperatures, some time between October and January.

The IAEA report on lessons learnt from the disaster said that nuclear plants should be designed to withstand "extreme external events, particularly those with common mode implications such as extreme floods".

"Severe long-term combinations of external events should be adequately covered in design, operations, resourcing and emergency arrangements," it said.

The IAEA report summary also said that at nuclear plants "simple effective robust equipment should be available to restore essential safety functions in a timely way for severe accident conditions".

The team, which visited three nuclear plants, said Japan's government, plant operators and agencies had been "extremely open in sharing information" and praised the country's initial response to the disaster.

"The response on the site by dedicated, determined and expert staff, under extremely arduous conditions has been exemplary and resulted in the best approach to securing safety given the exceptional circumstances," it said.

"The Japanese government's longer term response to protect the public, including evacuation, has been impressive and extremely well organised."

Japan has evacuated tens of thousands of people from a 20 kilometre (12 mile) zone around the stricken plant, and from some areas beyond which have received high doses of aerial radiation.

The IAEA said that "a suitable and timely follow-up programme on public and worker exposures and health monitoring would be beneficial."

The team will present its full report at a ministerial meeting on nuclear safety at IAEA headquarters in Vienna from June 20 to 24.

The team leader, Britain's chief inspector of nuclear installations Mike Weightman, was asked by reporters about the independence of Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, which is part of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

"We are encouraging further consideration of such matters," he said.

"And again, that may well be discussed at the (IAEA) ministerial conference. There are certain fundamental principles that the IAEA relates to governments' responsibilities, operator's responsibilities and the independence of regulators... There will be more discussions, no doubt."

ASOS Magazine: July 2011: Zoe Kravitz

ASOS Magazine July 2011 issue featuring cover star ZOE KRAVITZ, 20-year-old American actress, daughter of rockstar Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet (The Cosby Show) and upcoming star of X-Men: First Class (June 3), shot by photographer Danielle Levitt.

ZOE KRAVITZ for ASOS Magazine

The Rock ‘N’ Roll Life of an Everyday Girl

Pretty, cool, connected.  She’s been in the style spotlight for years thanks to her impeccable taste, uber-cool parents and fashionable friends (Jay-Z, Alexander Wang, Olivia Thirlby, Jennifer Lawrence), but with a role in X-Men: First Class, ZOE KRAVITZ is about to be as famous for her acting as she is for her wardrobe.

“All that ‘it girl’ shit makes me kind of uncomfortable.  I’m only at the beginning of my career, but I feel successful in that I haven’t sold out in any way, shape or form.  I feel good about the choices I’ve made, and I don’t feel like I’ve let go of any of my values.  Fame has become this obsession for people, which kind of creeps me out.”

“We (Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and boyfriend Michael Fassbender) were living in London for four months and it was like X-Men summer camp, so we all hung out at each other’s houses after filming, went out to pubs…I lived in Notting Hill, right by Portobello…I’m spending all my money on flea-market shopping!”

“I used to be a little embarrassed by how she (mom Lisa Bonet) and my dad (Lenny Kravitz) would dress…but now I steal their clothes all the time.”
