Celebrating the colours of Falgun
Falgun is the time to feel your best. Everywhere around, flowers are blooming and people are more often than not, in jovial moods. The fashion game is also at its peak because the fashionistas have already stacked away their dull and dreary winter wear and stocking up on strikingly beautiful and equally bold fashion wear.
Spring, fresh blooms, and fashion
After a long hiatus, it became almost necessary for me to return. Begging winter to be over, I found an interesting way to do it. Force yourself to wear colourful clothes and bring out the vibes of spring — forceful maybe, but it works. Let’s cut out the confusion and dive straight into the fashion perspective.
Precious stones, precious meanings: Discover the stories behind gemstones
People wear gemstones for many reasons. For many, they hold special meanings — from devotion, and trust, to commitment. It is considered extremely romantic to receive or gift someone a precious stone with a special meaning attached to it. Here are some familiar stones and what they represent.
Brightening up our lives with bold hues
Even amidst the heat of summer, when you close your eyes. What do you see? We are sure, it’s nothing close to muted tones or low-key shades. It must be the other way round, bright blues of the sea, shades of orange that put the sun’s rays to shame and of course, the blood-red shades that represent closely with the different shades of fire.

The millennial revolution with the sari
Sari has been termed as one of the most feminine garments by many of the recognised designers of our time, from Maheen Khan to Chondona Dewan, and this very garment which has been worn by our grandmothers and our mothers could have naturally lost its charm with time, especially with the Gen Z. Surprisingly, quite the opposite happened! The beautiful garb has been re-interpreted by the new generation and has been re-energised enough to make a vigorous entry into the future of fashion and last a few more lifetimes.

The same thing happened to me a week before, right when I thought I was done searching for trendy floral design posts, entered Grace by Haneef, a brand that immediately took my breath away.
