Indian Wear!



I was quite amused when I learnt about Indian Wear and its raging popularity overseas as well! Nonetheless, Indian wear is beyond the salwars, sarees, lehengas and ghagra cholis.

Weddings are an exciting event to be a part of. And, most of us have been a part of cocktail parties. We look around and we see that most of the young women are in a Classic LBD and a south sea pearl neck piece.
My comments: Beautiful LBDs that exude vibrancy and grace coupled with that South Sea Pearl Neck piece. Treat to the eyes! Is it not? :).


Picture this: A young woman walks in a "Saree Gown." Yes, you may be less acquainted with this term. Yet, a saree gown is a paradoxical mix of fluidity and construction, the new silhouette combines the six-yard staple's classic structure with the practicality of the zipped-up gown. Here's a picture. :)






You may remark that you can't get over your undying love for salwars and anrkalis. Have you thought of sporting the embroidered jacket anarkalis?! They are quite conventional in demand and is a great choice for a festive season like Diwali or Raksha Bandhan. Or, wear it at a function. Also, if you are running late for a wedding and you just don't have the time to drape that saree, don the jacket anarkali. Here's a sneak-peek.






Assuming that neither of the above appealed to you or all of the above are tedious and difficult to sport. Go for Georgette tunics, they are trendy and have a youth appeal. :). Here is a look:



The men, too have an array of choices: Jodhpuri sets that have a western look, yet something Indian; the all time new favourite Bandhgalas, checked kurtas and not to forget, Sherwanis!










Hope you liked this post. :)

What does your ruling planet say about you?

 What a lovely experience it is to discover your personality by means of your favourite colour, birthdate and now, your ruling planet! :) 

Aries and Scorpio:
Your ruling planet is Mars:

Mars is bright red and linked to fire. His assertive nature ensures you've got the drive to make things happen thus categorizing you as an ambitious individual.Taking action helps you succeed, so when in doubt, do something. Your competitive edge keeps you looking for new challenges. Standing up for what’s important to you is a must. Your pioneering spirit means others will follow; all you have to do is lead. Lastly, you live by the motto, "Action speaks louder than words!"

Taurus and Libra:

Your ruling planet is Venus:

People born under Taurus and Libra are under the influence of Venus- the God of Love and Beauty. Your most valuable resources are the people in your life. Many of the things you cherish-- like your financial security, status, and good times are directly linked to who you know and how well you get along. Moreover, you would love to live a luxurious and comfortable life. Few people cultivate relationships as easily (and numerously) as you. Thus, you form long-lasting friendships and relationships. Inter-personal skills are a matter of importance to you individuals.

Gemini and Virgo:

Your ruling planet is Mercury:

Being under the influence of Mercury, you are an effective communicator.You're fast talkers, quick thinkers, and sharp dressers. Your mind is always racing ahead of the conversation. In the time it takes most people to formulate a thought, you've already come up with three ideas, worked out the pros and cons, and probably even decided which one makes the most sense. You exhibit a sense of versatility by the urge to learn new things, increase your knowledge and adapt to a new environment. Your ability to adapt yourself to any situation will earn you several brownie points. You love exercising your brain and unlocking mysteries. As far as you’re concerned, solving a problem is much more fun than having an answer.

Cancer:

Your ruling planet is The Moon:
It is in your genes to nurture. Your life is a life full of assorted experiences. Cornucopia-a Horn of Plenty. You sympathize with the under-privileged and family plays a pivotal role in your life.As a Child of the Moon you naturally gravitate to the security of hearth and home. If you have a bad day, then the first thing you do when you get home is reach for the comfort food. It might be a bowl of soup, a cup of hot tea, maybe even a pint of ice cream. After you've had a moment to relax, you'll find you're in a good mood again. As far as you're concerned everything looks better on a full stomach. In short, you are a sensitive person in touch with your emotional self.

Leo:

Your ruling planet is the Sun:

Just as the Sun is the center of the solar system, Leo likes to be at the center of everything as well! Your talents lie in leadership and management because you are great at energized, spotlight events. Channel the Sun’s power by being warm and supportive to those around you. The more you give, the more you get back. In addition, you live your life with dignity and pride. Being generous when it comes to helping others comes naturally to you. Power, determination and ambition are the driving forces in your life.

Sagittarius:

Your ruling planet is Jupiter:

Your life is a grand adventure. You never know what lies beyond the next bend. The most extraordinary things just seem to happen. That's why you can't wait to see what opportunities tomorrow might bring. But as a Child of Jupiter, you also know that there's a greater purpose at work and are a thinker by birth. It's in your nature to dream the impossible dream. Where would our civilization be if everyone accepted their limits and decided to huddle safely within bounds? There would be no outstanding art, no great inventions, no mind-boggling discoveries. It's the Children of Jupiter we have to thank for broadening both our physical and metaphysical horizons. You love your freedom and tend to rebel if anyone interferes with it. Besides, you do seem to be in touch with your spiritual side.

Capricorn:

Your ruling planet is Saturn:

You are a practical and disciplined person being under the influence of Saturn. People may marvel at your "good fortune," but they don’t know how much hard work went into making that prosperity happen. There's always a price to pay for a Child of Saturn. And that price is usually paid at a time when everyone's supposed to be feeling young and carefree. If there was a hard way to do something, you found it. You were probably the last one chosen when the kids were picking teams for softball. It took you forever to muster up the courage to speak in front of the class or ask someone out on a date. Yet it's your perseverance and strength in the face of setbacks and stumbling blocks that ultimately leads to your great achievements and sense of self-fulfillment. Your strong will-power will give you success in life.

Aquarius:

Your ruling planet is Uranus:

You were born different. What drives you isn't so much a profound dissatisfaction as it is an innate sense that you're just not getting it. There must be something more to what you're looking at.  Since you are under the influence of Uranus, you are inclined to pave your own path rather than follow the path taken by others. Always be in touch with your creative side and pursue your artistic abilities to gain fame for yourself.

Pisces:

Your ruling planet is Neptune:

What you show the world is an infinitesimal part of who you really are. You are compassionate and empathize with others. You live by the principle of having an honest and idealistic life and being ruled by Neptune, you should use your creativity and imagination to bring about the change around you. Listen to your inner- self owing to the fact that you have a strong sense of intuition before making key decisions. Do so and you will be surprised with the results.
