Back to writing...

After a brief hiatus (well not that brief, just under two months to be precise!) I am back to writing :).

Firstly, apologies and much love to my regulars who diligently kept checking in to see if there was a new post. Thank You. Sounds cheesy but if it wasn't for you and great fashion to comment about, blogging won't be fun. To fill you in briefly on what I have been up to in the past two months, I had a month in India to celebrate my sister's wedding and what a wedding it was! Back to Melbourne then to move into my own house after living in rentals for years, again feels amazing and then finally back to the grind that is the corporate world to earn some moolah. Life seems to be settling again and I got some lovely notes asking where I was and why I wasn't writing. So here I am :).

I figure my first post for the year has to be truly special - to cover someone special;wearing something very special. So here I go with the wedding series as promised.

My lovely gorgeous sister in all her glory wearing a stunning Manav Gangwani brocade lehenga for the cocktail/engagement party that she teamed with very chic and sleek diamond and ruby jewels and matching glass bangles. The green, purple and orange colour combination looked amazing and I love the net dupatta against the heavy brocade top and skirt.The makeup is M.A.C.

She looks so tall and model like, don't you all agree?

Here's wishing her happiness forever and ever.

Over the next few days look out for your regular celeb fashion fix and more on my sister's wedding.

In Manav Gangwani

Singer Peter Andre who was performing at the IIFA Awards opted to go traditional with a Manav Gangwani sherwani. He wore the look as it was worn on the runway last year by Rahul Khanna at the India Couture Week.

The other celeb at the event to don Manav Gangwani was Lara Dutta who wore a gold saree accessoried with emerald jewels.

Karisma Kapoor for Manav Gangwani

Bit too much for me this look as the embroidery is absolutely blinding me and the look's a little bit dated too. Karisma is glowing but the outfit is doing nothing for me - a little reminiscent of her look in the movie Zubeida. Photo credit: Viral Bhayani
