outfit of the day green mekhela chadar

In my current homeland here in New England, summer is almost over. But in my other homeland in India, this is the mark of the festive season. The festive season unfolds with good food and chances of dressing up. However, the covid19 has changed everything as well as the way we celebrate festivities.

The other day one of my friend invited us to an Indian festivity. I decided to step out of the mundane and dress something special. Then this pair of green mekhela chadar came to my mind. A quintessential and classic for any Indian wardrobe. Even though this mekhela chadar is traditional, the thick border gives it a very contemporary look. It has a gold peacock motif design. I decided to team it up with a pair of muted statement gold earrings and a large statement bangle with a gold watch. I did a hair bun and wrapped my hair with flowers. For makeup, my lips are in bold red color, and my eyes are filled with dark kohl.

How do you like this look, do let me know. Have a wonderful week ahead and enjoy the festive season.

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but
