Happy in the Head featuring Made For You Handcrafted Brass Jewels

This dress is proof that outfits don't have to have a million pieces to make a statement!

While I'm a firm believer that most outfits look best with 3 pieces to keep them interesting, sometimes (ahem, ALL SUMMER), it's just way too hot for that kind of thinking! This dress is my perfect 5 minute bargain find from streets of Colaba and is labeled Old Navy(Double Whammy!).
I pair up this really comfortable skater dress with my metallic brogues from Wanderlust from KOOVS and add a choker ,layering up from this gorgeous piece from MADE FOR YOU.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate this ‘One Love,One World’ handcrafted pendant from Made For You.

When Shaifali approached me I thought it was just another run in the mill industrial cut pendant but well all that lather in my head cleared up she explained how these pendants were handmade by her. We are seeing the endless promotion of handlooms and well anything handmade so why not just dedicate 5 mins of your precious day and adore how beautiful actually her penance goes into making that very intricate pendant. Trust me she is much more of a gem of a person in real and it reflects in her designs genuinely!The pendants are very reasonably priced and can be customsed to your liking of fonts,languages  or shapes.

It comes in three different polishes-gold,silver and rose gold. The range starts from a modest 450 and can go up to your liking really! You can check out her page here.

My makeup comprises of no foundation look but I never forget my colour corrector for my raccoon eyes and concealer from KRYOLAN. I contoured my cheeks and chin to give more of leaner look (well you know how that works)! A thick no winged liner sans any eye shadow and I ‘m wearing a colorbar Matte lipstick. The hair was obviously transpired by my chokers and Sanky gave me a half bun look and waved the rest of my hair.

 Also Flashing these very pretty metallic flash tattoos to sync in with my brogues.

And Can I just talk about how pretty is this newly opened café?They have the most amazing filter kaapi and that’s the greatest attraction for me,such a sublime contrast to the interiors. You can choose from your favourite coffees and well don’t forget to click tons of selfies cos this quaint little café is the place to be.Visit The Koffee Works here.

Tell me how do you like my new oil slick hair and any other feedbacks that I need to work on! I will see you soon in my next post!

6 Yards of Changing Opinions

“Our sarees are for a special kind of woman. She is cool, independent and radiates an aura of strength. She is trendy but her style is her own. She is intelligent, unpretentious and connected to her roots.”I personally have been hearing this from every designer that comes up with some a tab bit different khadi-gamcha-chaap design each season.

Yes.it’s my honest rant against (also that time of the month) we are trying too hard to incorporate indigenous crafts in our lives. I love the fact that yes we are trying to get people to educate more and having it incorporate it in our wardrobes really help, but the question do these weavers actually benefit? With the uproar of using Indian textiles and the obvious Make in India week ending last week on a triumphant note, can we actually  ever let the weavers take the front seat for once? How often are we dissed for wearing a saree and not looking as graceful or for being too fat to wear it around.--I’m one of them being told several time , and being highly self conscious would pay heed to it.

My question to self arises several time That little part of you that always wants to go audaciously bold but is hesitant till the last minute—it’s time to throw away that inhibition and try something daring. I did and this blogpost is dedicated for my newfound love for sarees. It was a day for artful mixology:

So Along with anchoring earth tones, exuberant pops of vibrant colors also appear throughout the pictures you witness here I have teamed up a jamawar white bell sleeved blouse with two very different sarees. The first being an ornate real gold kanjeevaram that has used the original temple motif sedatively throughout the saree and  the second saree is a beautiful Matka Silk saree with temple border in zari and self jacquard motif all over the saree.

I have discovered the love for handlooms and I hope it really bites us all too soon!
