Indian festival look #3

Indian festivity brings never-ending options and ways of dress up. The routes you want to take can be contemporary, classic, traditional or basics. This time I took the basic or classic route. When it comes to classic, gold, and red is the most quintessential color in Indian culture. Whether it is a wedding or festivity you will at least find one or two wearing red or gold or a combination, yet you can't deny it's timeless appeal. Here is my Indian festival look #3, a gold muga silk mekhela chadar and a red Assam silk blouse and rest of the look is simple basic gold neck piece, bangle and chain clutch. The look would be incomplete without red nails and red lips. Do let me know your take. Indian festival look #1 Indian festival look #2

Sagrada Familia a visual tour

    Antonio Gaudio's grandeur, the larger than life Sagrada Familia is the most ethereal attraction in Barcelona . Started to build in 1882, and the construction is still on today's date, and it is listed in UNESCO heritage site. Iconic and impeccable Sagrada Familia is visited by more than 2 million people every year. This Gothic structure is famous for flamboyant architecture and enthralling interior. Assimilation of art and religion, Sagrada Familia is an experience of its own. What you expect from a typical church visually, Sagrada Familia is truly an exception from it. The colorful windows and lighting is a quintessential visual delight of Sagrada Familia. Each immaculate detail and the architectural ornamentation talks about Gaudi's awe-inspiring artistic ability and his affirmation for nature.

Indian festival look #2

 I find myself waking up and playing in the lawn in a beautiful fall morning or festive time in India making a flower garland with Sewali phool (night jasmine). Ah, nostalgia. During this time the weather is neither cold nor hot with fall flower endorsing the beginning of the festive season.
