BANARASI + LEATHER

Hello there,
We as a generation, we are very much inclined towards western fashion and so am I. But i am also a sucker for vintage Indian fabrics and as it tells you so much about our rich culture.
So, let me tell you a little bit about Banarasi fabric. Banarasi fabric belongs to the beautiful city of Varanasi, Uttar pradesh. Banarasi is a reflection of the city, a city so colourful and vibrant. Banarasi is a variant of silk and it is very famous all over India.
Banarasi silk is very well mentioned in MAHABHRATHA and BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES.  Even today Banarasi silk is considered as one of the most finest fabrics in India. It is mainly known for its designing and gold or silver brocade or zari.
3 craftsmen makes one Banarasi saree using their power loom.
An ideal banarasi saree contains 5600 thread wires.
This fabric is a contribution to our ancient Indian culture and it cannot be anymore beautiful.
Me , (an amateur lover of fashion and art) tried to revamp my mother's old banarasi saree as a lehenga with a hint of modernity and leather.
Join me in my little venture to promote old Indian fabrics in modern style as it only deserves to be celebrated.






See you soon.

It's more than a Mood swing!

Image
When you are having a bad day and you are all cranky, and then suddenly someone jumps in and say ’ARE YOU ON YOUR PERIODS?’ with a slight laugh. I think that's the most offensive joke of the century. Periods are no joke, from hormones fluctuations to emotional fluctuations. We go through it all every month. And let's not get started with the physicality of it. The SASSJOURNAL (Silvy Mehta) said ”I get horrible cramps and abdomen aches a day before and on the first day or my periods upto the point where I cannot even stand straight and i puke all day bcz of such intense pain.I have to end up taking pain killers every month if i have to continue doing the regular chores. Don’t even ask about the mood swings and cravings i get a week before 😂 I sometimes experience breast tenderness as well.” I asked many girls on my Instagram and they said, how bad there cramps are, pain is mostly unbearable. Girls suffering from PCOS go through the worse, I tell you. But the neglec...

Things I Learned in 2019

Image
It’s has been one hell of a year, truly one of the craziest years of my life. I moved to a different city all on my own, started doing a full-time job, met so many people and lord I survived all of that.  Here are some of the things I learnt in 2019 through my not-so-glamorous experiences. Moving to a different city and living alone is No Joke! Remember in Wake up Sid When Konkana Sen Sharma moved to her apartment and everyone was throwing paint on the wall and seemed so happy. Let me tell you, it doesn’t happen in real life. Living alone is a pain, suddenly you are responsible for everything little in your house. But what an awakening experience. It gives you so much control and responsibility it’s crazy. If you can survive this I am sure you can survive anything. Here is a picture of my cute balcony, I will always remember this place as my first home. So special! Taking care of your own expenses means you are already winning. I have always been someone...

BEST PHOTO EDITING APPS/ VINTAGE EDIT

Image
Hello everyone, This has to be the most asked question on my instagram, how do you edit your pictures? After watching 1 zillion YouTube videos and failing miserably half of the time I finally found my aesthetic or something that works for me. My Feed is based on a dark color vintage theme which you all seem to love a lot and personally I am happy with it too. I love the whole mysterious vintage old school vibes. So here I am sharing my favourite editing apps, apps I use to achieve my desired theme. 1. VSCO VSCO is one of the most handy photo editing app. If you want to make your Instagram more aesthetically pleasing this app is your answer. The trick is to use same filters for every picture. I use A4 or sometimes A6 2. FACETUNE It is like a mini photoshop. I literally retouch using this ap obviously not that professionally but it works for me. I basically use it for whitening my background makes a whole lot of difference. This app is a must have 3. AFTERLIGHT This a...
