The Beautiful Leh Journey (Part 1)

Many of you have asked me to write about and show the pictures of my Leh trip, so here we go.

It was simply beautiful. Although because of acclimatization issues, I was going bonkers with a headache for the first 4 days, but after that it was simply fun. The varied terrain, the amazing drives, pretty colors, the perfect weather, all made it a memorable vacation

I am posting some of the photos of this vacation. It will be a 3 part series. I hope you enjoy the pictures

The twisty narrow roads 

Beautiful Green Valleys

Wonderful double rainbows at Nubra valley camp site

Enjoying the little snow flakes during an 8 hour wait for the snow covered roads to be cleared  on the Khardungla pass

The most riskiest mountain climb ever undertaken by us - Snow covered single lane roads further blocked by excessive  snow on the sides 

The equipment on the way to push and save the mini van which was hanging  precariously  onto the mountain slope

The van in question. 

After ages an ages I got to wear so many layers of winter clothing :)

Beautiful Leh and a Hearty Dress

I am back from an amazing holiday from Leh. It indeed is a beautiful place, so beautiful that you would refuse to believe it. The varied landscape is truly magical and mesmerizing. You really have to see it to believe it. More on my Leh trip in the coming posts. Till then lets move on to this outfit.

The Design Story

I love hearts but finding good fabrics with hearts on them is quite a difficult task because pnted hearts generally look kiddish. but not this one, I instantly fell in love with this fabric the moment I laid my eyes on it and I got it in 2 beautiful colors. 

The fabric is so soft and fluid that I simply had to make a dress with a flair in it so that I could twirl around and play with it.

You all must have noticed that I generally keep the silhouette and embellishment on my dresses pretty basic and simple. Thats how I like it and this is what I have done with this one. I had this beautiful piece of brocade lying around which was once a part of my Mom's old sari and now is adorning my most favorite dress. I also added a sparkly stone to the belt for a little bit of glamour :) :)

The Fabric: Georgette Brasso Fabric with woven Hearts 

The Silhouette:  Maxi Dress with a flair

The Design Elements: Brocade Belt on the waist with a Stone embellishment and Brocade Piping on the neckline

Vacation Time

Currently its way too hot here in UAE and the one thing that comes to mind after bearing such scorching heat is to run off to a cooler place ( obvious, right????) .

Anyways the point is that we are going for a vacation, away from this heat and away from working and being busy. I like being busy and love what I do but then I loooovveeee traveling and seeing new places. We have been wanting to see this place for past 5 years now and finally the dream/wish will turn to reality. Will let you know about this place when I come back :) :)

See ya :) :)

The 5 Year Happiness

The past 45 days was a very happy and exciting for both me and my husband. We celebrated my husband's birthday, my birthday and our marriage anniversary. We celebrated 5 years of togetherness this year. Sometimes it feels that the time is standstill and 5 years seems like nothing and yet at other times it feels to be flying away. But what we know is that we are happy and are enjoying being together.

Now lets get down to the outfit :)

The Design Story

This particular fabric is available in blocks, i.e same rectangular or square print on front and back , just like a scarf. I wanted this black and white print to have loads of color hence the floral embroidery. The embroidery is simply a collection of many kinds of floral shapes and leaves put together in a non symmetrical way.

The Fabric: Printed Georgette

The Silhouette: Kaftan Top

The Design Elements: Abstract Floral Embroidery
