Sunny Side of Winter

Happy New Year everyone from the whole team of Bong Mania Overloaded! Hope you all had a wonderful start. I had a memorable one as Moumita, Li'l K and I spent it together. The sweet smell of the scarlet roads, waving of the Sonajhuri trees and the calmness of the Kopai greeted my new year. As I walked through the forest along the petite river, the music in my ears and rhythm in my heart gave me an unearthly content. Thus freezing those moments in the camera was very much justified . As we share our first post of the year sending all of you lots of warmth and sunshine.

Winters and Kashmiri Shawl-walas in our house has been a "ever so permanent" (not sure if this term exist though, but you get it!). In fact we used to feel the winter not by the temperature in Kolkata but by the incoming of Shawl-wala in our house!!!!!! Not sure if the word "fashion statement" ever existed for Ma, but if it did, winters have been synonymous with loosely wrapped shawl or buttoned up Kashmiri coat over saree. We loved the happiness in her face when she used to flaunt her latest collections and carry them with grace. Thus being her daughter am flaunting my collection, n authentic and intricately hand embroidered pashmina acquired from our very old Shawl-wala. 

This tomato red Dhakai saree is adding abundant brightness to the winter afternoon. Paired it with a hand embroidered designer blouse. Keeping the whole look easy and effortless, did put on very subtle makeup and jewelry.

I hope you like our look! If you want to revisit our look from last winter click here. If you like the post please do like, comment and share it. Your words of encouragement keeps us going. Please do follow us on  Facebook and Instagram for latest updates on the blog.
