Over the past few years I have developed a sort of "Bollywood" fascination, partly due to some crazy friends of mine (lol), and partly because, who couldn't fall for this kind of high fashion? There's no denying that the vibrant colors, lush fabrics and elegant beading are irresistible to every girl's inner "Indian Princess" (even if you happen to be of the fair, hazel-eyed type, like me ;)...
Kaneesha.com features some of the most ornate and beautiful saris and choli skirts/dresses. I don't know about you, but I simply fell in love with these. To be sure, they're rather elaborate for most occasions, but there's no denying that one of these amazing pieces would make you feel like royalty. And who wouldn't love to be married in something like this? ;)
On the more practical end of things, be sure to browse Designer Salwar Kameez for some equally stunning pieces that could be easily adapted into your contemporary wardrobe. I think that lots of these would make adorable tunics (worn with your favorite blue jeans? :) and could even be pulled off as a wispy summer dress.
Oh yes, and for the record, I am descended from a real Indian princess. Unfortunately, she came from Canada instead of Mumbai. ;)
Ah...I just love these so much. Out-of-this-world gorgeous, and feminine through and through. In fact, this yummy style of apparel (and a funny Bollywood musical) inspired this set of "luxury pjs", which I finally just finished last week!
Anyone else want to help turn these styles into a new international trend? ;)
