Allure of White and Gold

Onam is an ancient festival which still survives in modern times. It's one of the rarest festival which is celebrated by a complete state, irrespective of religion, caste and creed.Kerala's rice harvest festival and the Festival of Rain Flowers , celebrates the Asura King Mahabali's annual visit from Patala Loka. 
Intrinsic to this festival is a the traditional sari adorned by  women during this festival. The etherealness of white is furthered underlined by the inclusion of gold creating a look which surely brings a sense of purity to the one adorning it.

Traditionally the sari is cotton with a zari border but it is also available in silk. I love the design in both the fabrics. In cotton the sari has a more casual look and in silk it elevates to a more "for special occasions"

This is the first time that Rekha graces the pages of my blog, first but not the last her style and collection of sari's is the envy of any sari lover including me.


Thats me !

Another trend while wearing a white and gold sari is to team it with a contrasting blouse I am wearing Red, it could be any strong color...Green, Pink, orange..Dont forget to adorn your hair with a garland of jasmine.

White Chiffon 

If you want to do things a little differently a white chiffon sari with a golden border can never go wrong, to me its the ultimate definition of sexy.
