color me green~

..No..not because its the color of my new handbag or shoes( doesn't the idea of green shoes remind you of that creepy Christmas cartoon ?:o ) but becoz its the color of nature!(atleast the one most associated with it)..
Oh but dunt think this is a ''issued in public interest" kinda thing..coz its NOT..but yea if Jholas..or hand made paper is your thing then this post might strike a cord with you :)

And also I've decided to do a series of posts on Eco-friendly stuff 

SO here goes..

Last year on my b'day this friend of mine gifted me something very unique!.shes a hardcore nature lover and totally into recycling ! apart from a nice shrug, this is what she got me..recycled CDs..

..frankly i couldn't decide how to use them at first..coasters?..join them together with a funky ribbon n hang it somewhere?..IDK( exasperated..hands in the air!)

..then THIS struck me..so i put them on my dressing table under nail-polishes,lipsticks, creams etc and added a little ZING (if you may) to the dreary table full of everyday-cosmetic-stuff..!

So start making those old CDs useful!..and if you don't have the time to sit & work your talents on this new artistic medium(hehe)..then catch a younger sibling or a cousin or a neighbor kid..or ANYBODY whos willing..and you have yourself some funky unique stuff!. :)

on a completely different & unrelated note..I'ts Sarah Jessica Parker's b'day today..so Happy B'day to her !

I LOVED her wedding look !

Anarkali !

Wassupp buttercups? We all know, Feb is a season of weddings and therefore anniversaries..I've been attending both. Some very happily & most because I should.."Social protocol" or whatever !
Anyway yesterday I went to somebody's 40th anniversary...sounds MAHA boring?..IT WASN'T :D
 This couple basically married very early and although both are in their early sixties, it appears they still feel like a couple of  twenty year olds ! It was a great party with brilliant music, awesome food & booze, beautiful people and the best part, a theme !! I love theme parties, its a great way to show your PERSONAL style..anyway..their theme was ' Anarkali & Salim'. A Mughal inspired evening on a cold winter night in Lutyen's Delhi..what can be better? :) Offcourse they could've just gone with 'Indian' but that would've  been super boring *yawn*.

All women were dressed in Anarkali suits, or a Sari tied in a very mughlia manner..and men..well they were a treat in achkans, sherwaanis, long bandgalas and this 1 uncle wore a formal suit n pants but "mughal-ized' himself with a big pearly necklace( u knw the kind which has multiple strings..) so kool ! :)

Yup, something like Dilip Kumar is wearing above :) Oh and some people, including the hosts wore these fancy-sultanate-hats too..!..anyway this is what I wore.

                              An  Anarkali suit (obvsly !) that I picked up from Bombay Selections.

Since my good camera is off with dad for a few days, i'm managing with this one..i know it doesn't do much justice but its ok :) 

The earrings I wore:

 These are from an antique-look gold collection from my mom's jewellery box and they match perfectly with                my suit. Not very long, but when worn, really pretty !

 I totally believe in raiding my moms jewellery box when I need statement pieces plus the antique-gold look really works well with Indian Wear. I suggest you to do the same ;)

This was another pair I was considering. the shine is too much in these pictures, originally  they are more subdued. One of most favorite pair of earrings from Accessorize.
Since it was  an Indian-ish theme I also wore a few bangles and jazzed up on the make up. Shoes were simple. What I really wanted was to put pics of me wearing it.. the entire look. But din't click anything yesterday so well..maybe next time !

Do you like Anarkalis too?  feedback is appreciated :)
