A little earlier this year, Italian luxury kitchen maker Pedini introduced a new line of kitchen cabinets that had an interesting characteristic – a system that doesn’t include handles. The DUNE series is defined by asymmetrically curved base units echoing flowing forms found in nature. Opening is achieved by a groove on the edge of the extra thick front panel (base units) or by a vertical aluminum profile (tall units). Is this innovative? What do you think?

How to Wear Hijab in Trendy Styles
A Hijab can be worn in so many Trendy or Traditional ways, here I will try to display some of my favorites in the hope to add many more inshallah in the near future. I will display Shawls, Square scarves & Amira Hijabs.
HOW TO WRAP A SHAWL:
New Wrap Style#1:
Start by wearing an underscarf
Place shawl on your head with both ends in equal lengths and tie behind your neck once or twice
Place a slim scarf on your head and tie behind your neck under the shawl as shown in picture#2
Braid the accent slim scarf with the shawl and tie with a headband of a scrunchie in matching colors.
This is one of my favorites and I do personally get compliments when wearing it.
Note: This is of course worn with a turtleneck or if you prefer start the style by using a full underscarf and no turtleneck and you achieve the same look.

HOW TO WRAP A SHAWL:
New Wrap Style#1:
- Start by placing a full underscarf on your head as this style requires neck coverage. Or you can use a regular underscarf and wear a turtleneck
- Place shawl on you head with end much longer than the other
- Pin the shawl to the underscarf on both sides of your head near where your brows line ends
- Bring longer end of shawl loosely under your chin and wrap it around above your head and re-use same pin to secure in place
New Wrap Style#3:
New Wrap Style#4:
- Place shawl on your head with one end much longer than the other
- Tie at the bottom of your neck
- Bring longer end above your head (you can also twist it) all the way to the other side of your head
- Tie 2 ends together
- This is ideal for wearing on special occasions
- This was done using a 17"x60" scarf from my collection
- Please note that wearing this scarf will only work if you are wearing a turtlneck, either a regular one during the winter or a sleevless or mock turtlneck during the summer time
Style#1:
- Fold scarf into 2 triangles with one triangle smaller that the other (if you have a smaller scarf)
- Place scarf on head with one side longer than the other and secure with a pin under your chin
- Take longer side and bring it to the other side and secure with a brooch or a pin
- This was done using a 34"x34" square scarf from my collection
- If you want more neck area coverage you can use a 40"x40" scarf
- Start by wearing an underscarf and a turtleneck for neck coverage or a full underscarf (displayed here) that covers the neck area.
- Tie the scarf in half to make 2 equal sized triangles and place on head.
- Tie behind your ears just like a bandana
- This was done using a 34"x34" square scarf but can be done with small or larger scarves.

Eyeliner Styles
Eyeliner is an effective makeup product which gives definition to your eyes. You can use eyeliner in numerous ways to create your own style. From the dramatic eye makeup of the retro era to the more chic, glamorous modern day look, you can follow absolutely any makeup style, with the help of an eyeliner. Eyeliner styles are primarily decided by taking into account the desired look and the natural shape of your eyes. Given below are eyeliner styles for eye shape of all kinds. More on applying eyeliner tips.
Eyeliner Styles and Designs
Classic Fashion Look
This eyeliner style is reminiscent of old Hollywood diva like Audrey Hepburn. This is a simple yet glamorous style, which gives your eyes a well defined look. This look works best on nude eyes. If you must, apply an eyeshadow in natural color. Using an eyeliner brush, draw a thin line beginning from the inner eye corner. Continue it till the end and let it flip upward at the end. Draw another line to add thickness to the first line. In this look, the focus is only on the upper eyelid. More on applying eyeliner to top lid.
Cat Eye Look
You will need a liquid eyeliner to create this look. Using a brush of eyeliner draw a smooth line on the upper eyelid which flips upwards. Now, draw a similar line starting from the inner eye corner of the lower eyelid. Extend this line to meet the flipped line of the upper eyelid. Apply a dark eyeshadow or smudge the eyeliner in the portion where the two line meet. This is one of the best eyeliner styles for small eyes as it renders a wide eyed look for small eyes. More on dramatic eye makeup ideas.
Smoky Eyed Look
Along with an eyeliner, you'll also need an eyeshadow of a complementing color for this look. Pencil eyeliner is best suited for this job as the overall emphasis is on creating a smoky look. In fact, you can create this look even with an eyeshadow alone. Draw a thin line with an eyeliner or an eyeshadow brush. Blend it well with the color of eyeshadow applied on the eyelids. This smudged, smoky look instantly changes you into a glamorous diva.
Funky Look
You can simply swap your neutral eyeliner to a new funky shade. Lime green, electric blue, purple, pink can all give you the desired funky look. Do not forget to apply a similar shade of eye shadow to complete the look. While going for this look take into account the color of your eyes, and only then choose a suitable eyeliner.
Natural Look
Natural look is far different from makeup free look. Natural makeup relies on the use of neutral colors, to accentuate the natural features. So, if you want to give a natural look to your eyes, use a neutral colored eyeliner, usually a pencil liner. It smudges the line slightly, so that the look appears more natural. Natural look is one of the best eyeliner styles for big eyes, as it accentuates the natural shape of eyes.
Eyeliner styles should be selected as per your natural eye color, theme of the makeup, your complexion and of course, your age. Dramatic or funky eyeliner styles do not look good on older ladies. Also, the emphasis should be on highlighting your natural eye shape rather than the boundaries of eyeliner. Lastly, your eye makeup should be always in sync with the rest of your makeup.
