So-Saree Airport Style

Hello everyone.. I am in the US of A..finally and its really cold here.
The fact that I am in California is a little relief coz the weather here is much better..comparatively...!
Though I had thought I won't be accessing social media while I was traveling, I managed to do FB updates... thanks to Heathrow Airport's free Wi-Fi connections. :)

Anyways, since we had a 3 hour halt at Heathrow Airport, the blogger in Me, just couldn't let this opportunity pass away. I found a lonely corner and started clicking pics.
Here's a look at what I wore at the Airport.

My soul mate while I travel:Books!

Monochrome Jeggings with long black shirt and black boots for comfort travelling.
Hot pink Lino Perros handbag bought from Limeroad.com along with Pink nails courtesy Loreal to add some pop of color.

Let me know what you think about this look.

Co-incidently Husband was also wearing black and white that day, and I even managed to click his pic without his knowledge. Now isn't that really cool of me!(lol)

Saree Inspiration_Priyanka Gandhi

Though I have always claimed that So-Saree is a Blog Not Just About Sarees, but then.. I can't deny the fact that Saree is my favorite piece of clothing, and I just can't get enough of it.
So every now and then, you will see saree posts on the Blog, whether you like it or not.
On So-Saree, you have already seen how the West wears it, how our Goddesses wear it, and how my Friends wear it.

Now have a look at how our political figures wear it.

Short Hair and a Saree. Isn't that the deadliest combos ever??? :)

Priyanka Gandhi is the great grand daughter of Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru-The First Prime Minister of Independent India, grand daughter of Indira Gandhi-The First and only Female Prime Minister of India and daughter of Rajiv Gandhi- again a Prime Minister of India.

In spite of such a strong political background, she has stayed away from politics for all these years. Her political stints are limited to her pre-election rallies for the Indian Congress Party.
But, today I am not here to discuss her political career or views. I am here to appreciate her choice of sarees. Scroll down and see for yourself.

 

From the pictures above, you will clearly see her love for hand loom sarees which she has definitely inherited from her classy Grand Ma - Indira Gandhi. I am so much in love with her simple and sophisticated choice of sarees, that I had to do this post.
So what do you think? Let me know in the comments below.

Tattooth..!

I had read an article long time ago, about tooth tattoos. And though I admit that I like reading and learning about the latest fashion trends, this was one trend that I did not like..(wait ..that's too mild a word)...I absolutely hated it.
I mean how far can one go to look different and stand out in the crowd.
I admit I do not know much about fashion, but Tooth Tattoos...?? Seriously??

 When I saw the pictures of tooth tattoos, with blurred vision they looked like tooth decay, or like some food particles stuck on the tooth. But then again it is my personal opinion and there are many others who may beg to differ on this point.
And then why not?? Like I always say... KAL HO NA HO..!
Do it, if You like it..! Do it if it makes You happy..!
But don't do it for anyone/anything else!

Tooth Tattoo of Prince Williams and Kate Middleton. That was cute. But never on my tooth.

Spit it Out!

I do use this phrase a lot... Lot more than you would expect.
Anxiety does that to me. Sometimes..or maybe all the times.
As much as I use this phrase, I hate the literal translation of it. Especially if you are at public places.
Come on people. Why and what makes you spit in public places? While walking, while sprinting, while chatting or just that spitting. You don't care where you are, with whom you are ...you just don't seem to care.
Didn't they teach you in school...Spitting spreads diseases.
And still...?

Its atrocious. I seriously don't understand such people.
Whenever I see such people, I wish..how I wish, I had a super power. A power by which I could make the spit bounce back on the face of those letting it out. Cool na? (wicked smile)
That would be a really nice sight.

I had come across an article on the London News, and thought of sharing a few snippets with you along with my Vishesh Tipni aka Special commentary.

London News: "Spitting, like smoking, is essentially a social habit which can affect the health of others. People spit for many reasons, not just because they need to, but because it makes a statement.
So-Saree Speaks: Statement??? Seriously?? Who are you kidding??

London News: "In some social groups spitting is regarded as a mark of 'cool'. Young boys spit to emulate football and athletic stars who spit after intense aerobic exercise when it is difficult to swallow.
So-Saree Speaks: Cool??? I would much rather lock myself in a refrigerator.

London News: "But in countries like India and China, which have high rates of TB, spitting is not a social statement - it's simply the accepted way of clearing the throat and getting rid of excess saliva.
So-Saree Speaks: Eeeeuuw...!

London News:Both countries have initiated major anti-spitting drives and hope public education or onthespot fines will deter culprits."
So-Saree Speaks: Thumbs Up for that..!

And now for those who don't care to read what we write here. Enjoy the pics. ;)

I again used VOV nail polishes for this nail art. Blue and yellow looks really good together. don't you think so?:) I used a toothpick to make those yellow stripes. {Yup..still no nail art tools. :)}
Hope you like it.

But I want you guys to keep coming back to So-Saree, coz I am trying my level best to keep this blogathon going, and I need your support. For the later part the blogathon will continue.. but from a different country, and the spirit shall remain unchanged.

So-Saree Readers Speak_Sonal

It's time for So-Saree Readers to speak again.
I am seriously loving this too much.
Such compliments, such great saree pics are making me feel humbled and happy too.
Plus, it is also taking away some stress from me regarding coming up with new posts everyday. ;)

The So-Saree Reader who features here today happens to me my relative...my husband's cousin, who is an ardent follower of So-Saree and does not fail to leave really sweet and encouraging comments on our posts and FB page.
Thanks Di..I appreciate all your encouragement .

Hi Aditi,

First of all congrats on your Blogs 1st Anniversary. :-)

Let me tell you I am not at all a Saree lover... wearing a Saree is still a big task for me even after I have become a Mother of two cutie pies...:-) On rare occasions, I do manage it somehow.
But I really appreciate your love for Sarees. Because you never miss to wear it whenever you get an opportunity.
The latest example would be, my daughter's 5th bday...it was a simple occasion. ..but you graced it by wearing a beautiful Saree. ...You are doing a great job by posting new and different topics on your blog and inspiring people especially like me to develop an interest for Sarees. ..
:-)

Sonal Di with her two beautiful kids.

I just want to conclude this by wishing you and your blog All The Best and keep up the good work. :-) Also thanks for giving me this opportunity to feature here....God bless you. 

Thanks so much Sonal Di. You look beautiful, and the kids look super cute.
I have always appreciated your support and today I am humbled too.

Sonal Di's testimony is prrof that I Practice What I Preach.
Now that's what I call an Ethical Blogger??? ;)

Inspired By Nikhil Thampi.

Hello everyone ..
Did you know, that So-Saree gets maximum views whenever we do a nail art post?
That gives me one more reason to blog about them. :)
The So-Nails section on So-Saree is my favorite too, and to those who complain that I don't post my pics on the blog, thanks to this feature, at least you get to see my hands. ;)

Today's post is very special. Because it's inspired by one of my favorite designers.
Nikhil Thampi.
I am sure this man needs no introduction but to those who don't know about him..Plz help yourself.
Jokes apart..Nikhil Thampi is a name that has become synonymous with sophisticated elegance. He has been making a lot of heads turn on and off the ramp. If you have been following So-Saree's Facebook Page, you would know exactly, why we are so crazy about him. Thanks to him, most of our celebrities do not have to fret over, what to wear for red carpet events and this.. from a person who has no formal training in fashion.
And since I couldn't hide my admiration for this man any longer I decided to create a nail art using Nikhil Thampi's very famous fish motif.

The Inspiration. 

My weak attempt at recreating it.

I received this Mug from Kazo coz I won a Giveaway on Debi's Blog.

This is my Tiger Paw Pose. But my husband prefers to call it the Road-Side Beggar Pose.(lol)

I created the fish motifs using Nail Art Sketch Pens, and nail colours by VOV.
While it might take me a few more years until I actually bring a Nikhil Thampi home, this nail art enabled me to own a piece of NT without much ado. Wot say?

Hope you like it.

So-Saree Anniversary Guest Post_Mani Matters

Our next guest post is from a bloggers who is not only my friend, but is also related to me.

Manisha of Mani Matters is married to my husband's cousin and so officially is my Sister-in-law. 
I let her take teh centre stage now.

Hello Buddies! I am Manisha, blogger of ManiMatters.  I mainly blog about nail art  and occasionally do product reviews. I am glad Aditi gave me an opportunity to do a guest post on her lovely blog. 

Lemme share few things about Aditi. Aditi is a sweet, bubbly, helpful, creative and stylish gal. I met her at her wedding couple of years back but we couldn't interact much coz she was busy in the rituals. We are the only 'Marathi Bahus' of our family :). Both of us are close relatives but more than that we are good friends.  In fact Aditi was my inspiration for coming up with a blog. Thank you for all the support Aditi and Congratulations on successfully completing a year of blogging. That in itself is an achievement. Keep up the good work and Good luck for the future!!!

Coming to today's post, any guesses??
Yes it had to be nail art dedicated to So-Saree's first blog anniversary. 

Isn't it pretty? :)

For this mani, I chose light pink as the base. Once the base color was dry, I free handed confetti on my index and pinky nails using pink, lavender,blue, orange,green polishes. Then added '1' to mark first blog anniversary.

 On my middle nail. I stamped a pattern from Cheeky stamping plate CH16 and free handed 'S' - So-Saree logo. Then on my thumb I used pink and blue polish to stamp cupcakes from Cheeky stamping plate CH16 and then added dots with green,orange,lavendar polishes. On my accent nail, I stamped chocolate and lollipop design from my Cheeky plates CH9 and CH 6 and added pink dots.

Finally added  SV top coat to seal the design.

 Thank you so much Manisha. You are such a sweetheart. This post will always be very close to my heart, because you not only customized a nail art for our anniversary, but also flaunted it for one whole week on your nails.Love you.
