Dec19

Hello ladies,


How is it going? What are your plans for holidays? We don’t have any travel plans but planning to do art work and cooking with my 7 yr old, as usual photo shoot to treasure memories and movie nights. Today’s blog post is about few trending sarees. Are you not sure which saree to buy for upcoming festival Sankranti? Then you are at right place. You can try below varieties which are more popular now a days. I shared few pictures from my closet for reference.


Patola Saree – A double Ikat weave, These are so colorful with different geometric shapes and best part is you can style them with any color blouse as the saree has different colors in it. Do you know that one Patola saree can take six months to one year to make?  Take a look below to see how I styled Patola saree with different blouses. These sarees start from $200 based on the material of the saree.


Paithani Saree – Usually identified with oblique square design and peacocks in borders. They come in different materials. Most trending are pure silk Paithani and Bandhni Paithani sarees. Pure Paithani silk or Bandhini sarees are expensive starting from $400


Kalamkari Saree – A hand painted or digital printed Kalamkari art on saree which can be identified by big motifs all over the saree. Hand painted kalamkari sarees are heavy on pocket than digital kalamkari prints. If you are not into big motifs look for Ajrakh sarees. I bought one kalamkari and will style it on Sankranti. Do check out this space in January.

Hello Ladies,


Wow can’t believe it’s been two years I touched this space. How have you all been in these uncertain and stressful times? Hope you are keeping good health and staying safe.

2020 February, a month after my delivery Covid lock down started in US. First half of 2020 was definitely rough on me, the fear of uncertainty, anxiety added to post-partum blues. Luckily didn’t had post-partum depression. Thanks to my 6 year old who kept me active and Mr. P (My hubby) for his humorousness , somehow I survived post-partum blues. If we had family near by, situation would have been much better. We didn’t invite our parents for my deliver as we thought of calling them after winter but then Covid lockdown started. We hired baby sitter for morning and a doula at night, They took good care of baby and me which really helped me to recover fast from my c-section. When lock down started we had to let go our baby sitter and doula as we didn’t want to take risk during Covid times.  Mr.P and me managed all the work of a new born and my 6 yr old who was super helpful and understanding in those tough times. I went back to work once baby turned 4 months as we thought managing work and 4 month old is better and I can utilize parental leave once she is 11 months and more active . It all worked out well as I was able to work when she was sleeping and not moving much.  Once my new born was 6 months things seemed better. On bright side, I think for new moms lock down and WFH are better options 🙂 .  Ok enough of my story going right into my post

How did you all celebrate Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday in USA.  A day dedicated to express your gratitude. How cool is it? Seriously , how often do we get to express gratitude? A small thanks and expressing gratitude can go long way so don’t forget to show your gratitude to your loved ones especially to your immediate family members Mom, Dad, Siblings , Kids, Partner and don’t take them for granted.  From the time I came to USA we used to have thanksgiving dinner with family, Mr.P’s cousins used to live nearby. Now we have a small feast at home, eat together and talk about what we are thankful for, best and not so good things that happened that year. I think these are the things kids remember when they grow up.


Here are few fall outfits that I put together from my closet.  I love layering multiple pieces which keeps warm and stylish. 

First one with black top and black faux leather pant which I got from spanx.  If you love wearing pants that hugs your body and gives nice shape to your legs, then you should definitely try this.  Added Green Moto jacket which enhanced the whole look. Finished the look with gold small hoop earrings.


Next is my regular and white and blue jeans with a long sweater. I personally love long sweaters when I go to work. They are light , comfortable and keeps you warm when you are inside. accessorized with belt.

Next is sweater dress which I styled with a scarf and white boots which I got from amazon couldn’t find the link.


On the day of thanksgiving I wore a Boho dress which has fall color leaves and flowers so apt for a Thanksgiving dinner, layered with fuzzy fleece Jacket , added boots and coin chain from Gorjana

Last a Saree with sweater blouse from amazon. Why not?

I used a inskirt bought at Tiabhuva.com which gives nice shape when you drape a saree

Looks like most of my products are from Amazon haha , surely not a promotional post. I think Amazon has great selections. Also I don;t feel like providing card details everywhere. I wish there is a something like oauth or something that is tighter than oauth for payments which is unique and accepts global payments instead of providing card details on each and every ecommerce site. Do you feel the same? Let me know in comments section.

Our ThanksGiving Menu: Spicy Garlic Tofu, Baked Paste and Broccoli,Kung pao chickpeas and rice, stuffed spinach and paneer in phyllosheets and Baked veggies. Didn’t make any pie as we had lot of desserts from our recent costco trip 🙂

Hope you enjoyed reading my post. See you soon, until then bye.

Stay safe and take care of each other.
