Bright and Bandhej-ed

All I need to feel wonderful is a bright bandhani kurta worn as a mini shift dress with a brilliant blue bandhani scarf and a hand embroidered bag with fun boots. What are your feel wonderful staples?

Under the bridge in an everyday saree

This is mostly how I wear a saree when the weather starts to cool down, really really casually with pants, a crumply sweater blouse and a beanie as you've already seen here. I don't like to save wearing sarees just for special occasions, I like to wear them to check out weekend markets, get beers or just to wander about inside the house. How and where do you wear your sarees?

Rock n Roll in a Saree

These pictures were taken on a pre-spring fun afternoon out and feature my current favourite way of wearing a saree. This way let's me move/ dance freely,look good with heavy duty boots and/ or leather jacket and above all allows me sit on a bike. I can't wait to get more sarees and wear them more often. It sometimes astounds me when the rest of the world is so unaware of the rich, luxurious textile traditions of Indian and the a many other parts of Asia. The joy that comes from wearing handloom silk, khadi, cotton or wool is second to none. And I'd rather wear a vintage saree than a dress made in a sweatshop somewhere!
