Online shopping, supporting friends :)

Hello - Happy Independence day!

Today I would like to showcase a couple of my friends ventures. All of us at one point or the other think of becoming entrepreneurs, however due to various reasons we do not execute on our plans due to various reasons. It takes immense perseverance and risk taking ability to start something on your own - not to mention the effort!

so - here you go - support them & like their pages...watch them grow...you wont regret it!

Coral Jasmine:

A beautiful collection of curated designer sarees: these guys started yesterday - wishing them loads of luck & I am sure you will rock it!! be the first ones to support these girls!

Traditional jhumkas...3

One of the stores I love shopping at is Anokhi, a beautiful Jaipur based store with outlets all over India. I am glad that Bangalore has 3 outlets :) Their collection is limited and I am yet to come across two pieces of the same accessory - hence I consider these unique. You can see my Anokhi collection in my previous post.

The pics I posted here are new jhumkis with pearls and beautiful dark pink semi precious stones - bought these in Jaipur.

From - Anokhi; Made of silver, pearls and semi precious stones; Price - Rs.1800

My TOP favourite purchase till date!

Hello - How are you guys doing?
No activity here for a long time now. Loads of action in personal life-weddings in the family, getting our dream home ready, shifting etc., you know how it is! Anyways - back to blogging for good :)

Last week we went to Jaipur for 2 days, and almost went bankrupt shopping! the place rocks - block printed fabrics, awesome bedlinen, quilts, jewellery, my fave stores like Anokhi, Amrapali etc., I am glad I was there only 2 days and the weather was bad (HOT!!!) - If not I would have maxed out my credit card!

Here is my MOST favourite purchase from Amrapali! What do you think?

More treasures to be opened soon :)

Silk salwar suit 4

Pure silk salwar suit for the wedding, this one is a proper traditional south Indian kanjeevaram saree style salwar suit in green, Maroon & yellow with gold zari. I have got very little zardosi detail done near the neck.

Silk Salwar Suit 3

Happy Diwali to you & your family :)

At one of the handicraft exhibitions I saw a lady adding final touches to the embroidery on this beautiful Phulkari dupatta, it was love at first sight! Picked it up without second thoughts, then got the orange raw silk fabric and got very simple mirror work done around the neck & sleeves with complementing colors from the dupatta.

Let me start with my latest purchases & then will get to the older ones in the future.

Bright rose pink silk kurta with dark green salwar with matching dupatta with gold borders. I love the delicate work on the Kurta, specially the mango shaped motifs. I might wear this for the formal engagement party - not at decided :) Choices!

~Latest treasures~

I was introduced to this place by one of my friends & I have been eyeing every piece of jewellery they stocked since then...each one of them is unique & the best part is they look great with any Indian outfit. These pictures do not do any justice to the beauty of these pieces. Couple of these are birthday presents, couple anniversary presents & one of them belongs to a friend. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)
