A cup of Assam Tea

 Today is National Handloom Day in India. Handloom is a beautiful art form and a skill that takes tradition forward, as well as fosters socio-economic growth, which one could celebrate every day. Wearing a handloom saree is a source of pride and pleasure for me.  This saree I got last year from India's prominent handloom designer, Sanjay, who owns the brand called  Raw Mango .  A simple, soft, feather-like feel, this off-white saree features a thick yellow border, with the rest of the saree being plain. I teamed the saree with an aqua-blue silk blouse. I created this look to strike a balance between tradition and contemporary style. My hair is in a bun, wrapped with flowers, and I have dark, kohl-filled eyes, reddish-pink lips. For jewelry, I wear 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 with accesso...

      After 4 months of brown winter  when you finally see the spring  bloom with wonderful weather, it almost feels like some Artist painted a blank canvas with color. It was exactly the same feeling when I discovered raw mango by Sanjay Garg's creation. With all the bling designs in the market raw mango is a new kinda traditional take yet the feel is contemporary.       I bought this parrot green chanderi saree a long time back when Raw mango sarees were not easily accessible as today. Every time I wear this saree, I fall in love with it all over again. This is the signature of Raw mango sarees. I can go for a more subtle look if I want, but I opted for a more bright look and added Manish Arora's colorful large earing and blue blouse and blue silk potli. Brown Smokey eyes, bright lips, and a loose bun. Do let me know how you like it.
