From bratty to hiphop to goth: Sapna Bhavnani on different looks
"My name is Sapna Bhavnani and I have been working in the fashion/beauty industry for the last 14 years. And to be honest I find it the shallowest industry of them all."
Intrigued yet?
Hiphop girl, bratty girl, librarian girl, boho girl -- stylist and writer Sapna says she's gone through all these phases and more before reaching the 'myself' stage in her life.
In her rather edgy little book called Style-o-Wot, she shares her views on fashion and some innovative style tips with her readers. How, for instance, you can make the most of your granny's wardrobe or design a 'designer' bag -- it's all here.
The idea of the book, Sapna writes, is to introduce girls to 'the beautiful world of fantasy and dress up'. There's also a playlist of songs for each look and a word of wisdom at the very end: 'Being yourself is always in fashion!'
We take you through three of the looks mentioned in Style-o-Wot. Keep clicking...

The librarian girl cometh
Hey Librarian Girl, check this book out
Neat, Neat, Neat. Did I say neat? I mean just that. Grab grandma's hair oil and dump the whole bottle on your head. make it nice and greasy.
Then comb back snd tie into a neat bun... Lovely!
If the bun is a bit boring for even you, then make a centre parting and divide hair into 2 equal parts. Now make 2 braids and tie them on top of your head. Use lots of pins to keep them in place. If you're feeling a little more adventurous then cut a short fringe to hide your constant frown marks.
Don't forget to thank grandma
