Today is the national handloom day in India. Handloom is such a beautiful art effort and skill to take forward tradition as well as socio-economic growth that one could celebrate every day. Wearing a handloom saree is my pride and pleasure. This saree I got this last year from India's prominent handloom designer Sanjay, who owns the brand called Raw Mango. A simple, soft, feather-like feel, off-white saree with a thick yellow border, the rest of the saree is plain. I teamed the saree with an aqua-blue silk blouse. I created this look to provide a mileage of tradition yet be contemporary. My hair is in a bun wrapped up with flowers, dark kohl-filled eyes, reddish pink lips, and for jewelry, traditional antique gold necklaces, gold earrings, and gold bangles. I rounded up the look with a pink potli bag for a good pop of color and a festive feel. I skipped the bindi this time as it is already heavy on the accessories. Hope you like this look

The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid jus...
Stunning! Love the pop of color with the bag!
