Winters are not that boring; while people tend to call it the lazy season or sleeping weather; it only gets funkier if it is enjoyed  the proper way. It actually can make an individual feel good once you know how to experiment with style; try natural makeup or layering when it comes to clothes. Funky coloured sweaters are in this year and this is all because of Paris Fashion Week 2012. Colours like orange, yellow, green and red are in for guys and it is totally fashionable to wear them.

Not only sweaters but hoodies, raincoats and belts were also seen in the same hues this season. This new trend might be awkward for men in the beginning but it is completely wearable since bright colours are the new neutrals. Finish off the look with cool white shirts, khakis or a trench coat. Adopt this new look and flaunt it before the rest! 

Cinnamon Rolls

In the modern world people are mostly stressed - which spelt backwards would be desserts, so stop stressing and look to the sweeter part of life. Karachites are no longer to be deprived of the sweet and delicious Cinnabon as the brand just hit Dolmen City Mall, Karachi.

Keeping up with the increasing demand of the popular American brand, the soft cinnamon rolls at Cinnabon are now served in three flavours which are to die for. They have a huge variety of chocolate, pecan flavors and the famous signature classic cinnamon. It is so scrumptious that it can even mend broken hearts. A number of frozen drinks known as Chillatas are also available, the venue is equally good with the view of the shopping mall.

Guests who attended the launch of Cinnabon in Karachi were so over excited to have this exquisite flavour in town. Another branch of Cinnabon is planned for the Atrium Mall within a few weeks. So what are you waiting for? Go get your sugar high!
