Today is the last day of our So-Saree's Blogathon...Yippeeeee..!
I Did It !!!!
And for today's post I have a guest blogger whose style statement is so ornate and artistic that I am in awe every single time.
Shreeja of Pineapple-ish (gosh..don't you just love the name of her blog?) is a fashion blogger with an eye for detail. She's experimental, she's artistic, she's stylish and she's my friend. :)
Haven't I told you before???..I am just so lucky with Friends.
Make way for Pineapple-ish!
I haven't done a post on my blog since... I don't even remember... and I have been planning to start again since.... I don't even remember... all the deadlines I gave myself have long gone.... So when Aditi asked me to do a guest post I instantly said yes -

1) A push that I really needed
2) It had to be in a Saree!!
2) It had to be in a Saree!!
Not sure how effective this push is but I surely loved playing around in this gorgeous Sari!
This is one of my favorite saris... well all my
saris are actually very dear to me - I love Saris and I'm very picky
about them... I have a very specific type when it comes to Saris or even
in general - raw textures, hand-loom, earthy & warm color palette
with a dash of dull gold always attracts me - it has to be dull gold!
So this shoot here is pretty much a mood-board of the textures, colors and the overall feel that I personally adore.
This off-white Kota was actually a plain border-less sari with self paan motif (btw lots of off-white and lots of Kota
among my saris) which I think still looked divine! But ohhh the
pressure of adding bling to any Indian outfit specially if you are
attending a wedding - I was forced to put a border to the pristine
beauty - too much drama actually happened back then :P
My
search for a semi traditional border was over when I found this red,
black and gold lace ( have a thing for traditional saris too) and also
this combo was just introduced by Sabyasachi which then went on to
become a rage later - so I was too excited to have found it . I still
love this combination - off-white, red and black with a dash of gold -
it's a classic!!
An
outdoor green bright shoot wouldn't have done justice to the look - so
there was a location right in my living room - earthy with textures,
warm colors of the painting and a warm evening light through the
off-white blinds - just perfect! These images are actually without any
filters applied.
I hope I keep blogging - Thank you Aditi for asking me to post on So-Saree. Great job on your blog - keep blogging! :)
Love,
Shreeja
