Women can expect new-look suits, trouser suits in summer

Hamburg  - Courageous, fashion-conscious women will reach for overalls made from denim or jersey this summer.

But that's just a fashion phenomenon for certain occasions. At the other end of the style scale, designers have rediscovered office clothing, reshaping it with unconventional tailoring and using new fabrics to give suits and trousers suits a new, detailed look.

"The classic trouser suit offers new details," said the Munich-based style consultant Georg Stiels after viewing collections for summer 2009. Shorter trouser legs, shorter sleeves and new blazer styles are just some of the ideas in the new creations. The so-called new suit had a place alongside the dress and blouse at the core of the new women's fashion collections.

Women, at wheels

It's a tumultuous experience being on the road with a car stuck in the middle of traffic-struck road. But you are constantly made to feel guilty, scared and nervous not because you are one amongst the myriad others who has got stuck and made a traffic scene, but because of some other reason.

They say a Bengali is born to eat and the maximum time of his eating-out plans is spent 'fishing' out authentic fish in the menu card of restaurants (if he is not in Kolkata).

So, if you are a foodie, who loves to satiate his appetite for food from the eastern corner of India or a Bengali sauntering around for a bite of some traditional Bengali meal, then go no more vying for such a restaurant because Taj Blue Diamond has come up with the best bait for you. Taj's Coffee Shop is hosting a Bengali food festival which boasts of not only an elaborate menu card but also true-to-it's-name taste.

Out of the 'meal'

Eleven years ago, entrepreneur Aditi Khatau began her first business venture from a small desk at home. Today, 'Dial-a-Meal' is one of the most convenient and reliable restaurant delivery systems in Pune!

Reading about the concept in a magazine, Aditi wanted to try and create her own version in Pune. She says, “I wanted to start something on my own!” With her heart set on it and a plan in hand, Aditi started meeting restaurant owners across the city. She was deeply encouraged by their supportive response, and wasted no time in getting started. Aditi's young daughter was only four-years-old then, so she wanted to work from home as much as possible. She worked hard for the first seven months and even took orders herself everyday.
