Orange Berry!

My first guest blog in Aditi's blog So-Saree as part of her month long first-blog-anniversary celebration.!

A very Happy Blog-Anniversary to you Dear!

 "So-Saree" is not only about saree but many other stuff.. but here we are talking about Saree. I was excited when Aditi asked me to do a guest post, that too featuring something that i am very fab of it, it can't get better. Saree which is universally accepted as the most sexiest piece of clothing. I too feel its gives the oomph factor... if only worn in proper way! It has a craze among all age groups..Every woman chooses the best saree to wear in different occasions. Some wear it everyday while others keep it for occasions. I am the one who enjoyed saree from my early teens. This 6-meter fabric has always impressed me on occasions. So, draping it is no-big-issue for me. Be it cotton, chiffon, net, crepe, tussar, silk, chanderi, georgete  i like the feel of fabrics n every fabric has its own grace when draped.
The majestic saree has undergone little changes over the course of time. Like-
Dhoti sarees- instead of petticoat/saree skirt wear dhoti & narrow the pallu.
Lehanga Sarees- It's a perfect mix of modern & contemporary style. It's stylish, ready to wear & hassle free!

Energizing the saree revival are a handful of young designers,among them Masaba Gupta, Shiven & Naresh, Gaurav gupta and Amit Agarwal. They are reinterpreting the millennia-old grab for a new generation of stylish women.

I am wearing a 6-meter piece which i got from Jaipur, beautiful gota work done over georgette fabric by the local craftsmen. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it.!

Just noticed this is my first outfit post of this year...!
Love
Nisha.

Happy Navratri !

It's a first day of Navratri. Clothes n accessories form an important part, however one thing that is most revered is the nine-day-fast. There are many who eat one meal at a day, some are only on fruits and liquids. So, while every body out there is talking about clothes, dandiya nights, puja ceremony.. I thought to talk about the Healthy Fast and yes indulge yourself lot more than just Satvik food.

1- People generally prefer eating dinner, try having lunch or an early dinner(sundowner)...that way you are giving your body enough time to digest the food.

2- The consumption of fluids must be increased. Options are fruit lassi, lassi, fruit smoothies. Have frozen yogurt instead of ice-cream, it provides instant glucose and keep body hydrated.

3- Consume lot of Vitamin-rich fresh fruits and Protein-rich milk products. Consume carbohydrate-rich sources, as they will support the exhaustive ratri raas of garba and dandiya.

4- Keep fried food away(i know it's impossible... because i love to eat sabudana vada). Try having baked tikki's/vada's with olive oil instead.

P.S  Some of the portion is taken from Delhi Times article.

This is what i wore to "Mata ka Jagrata" a day before(at my Hubby's aunt place). This jeorgette saree is self weaved in golden threads with beautiful paisley design.. It's light weight....perfect to carry without feeling loaded :) so, i wore a dull-gold sequins blouse with it. I kept the jewellery to minimal and completed the look with light make-up.

 I love wearing saree, though occasionally, red is our(Me n Mr. hubby) favourite colour :)

Saree- Banglore(one of my trousseau shopping)

Blouse- Got it made from local tailor

Bangles- lac( kolkata)

So, what are you eating /wearing this Navratri.... n what are your plans??? 

Till next time...
