No matter how long the winter is... spring is sure to follow.... 

And its knocking on our doors already, the season of love,  color and sunshine.  After the dry and dull winter months, spring comes and spreads riot of colors in nature and in our mind. It is rightly said that Spring is the nature's way to say let's party. Indians throughout the world welcomes spring with the colorful Holi or Dol jatra festival. Holi means shops sprawled out on the streets with vibrant gift hampers, colors, water balloons and, of course, those fancy water guns. You could smell the aromatic gulaals everywhere!So we introduce our this years' second spring look by wishing every one of you a safe and Happy Holi. If you're interested you can look into our first spring saree look here.

Look of the day

As spring symbolizes color and life,  we have chosen a  vibrant neon green Khaddi saree. It looks as fresh as nature and with the bright "Abir"(gulal) pink woven border. The saree woven in a rich banarasi pattern, is suited for any kind of spring celebrations, both night and day. In addition to that the saree is light in weight and very season appropriate. I bought the saree from my last visit to Kolkata, the fresh and bright color combination and the floral border caught my eyes. So made sure to keep shoulder pleats wider to highlight on the saree border. Draping of a saree makes a whole lot of difference on how it is presented. 

I have paired the saree with a vibrant makeup as well, fuschia pink lipstick and highlighted eyes. Kept the hair simple loose. The golden batua bag and gold and emerald stone studded jewellery matches perfectly with the gorgeous saree. You can always tone down or up the look by opting for heavier jewelry or lighter makeup, depending on your comfort level and the occasion.

Tips for Your Spring Fashion

• Spring is the season of "growth", thus season of bright colors. But it doesn't mean you'll always have to wear them or you'll be comfortable carrying them. If you want to wear dark or muted colors, do can a pop of brightness in your accessories like makeup (a bright lip or eye-shadow) or, bag  to balance things out.

• Try out different spring prints. Floral is the most popular spring print,and a floral printed, woven or embroidered saree looks so apt this season.You can try mixing things up by wearing a contrasting print or solid colors with it.

• Avoid thick fabrics and try breathable fabrics to feel your best.

Hope you have a colorful spring!!
