Blendian Swag

Hey y’all… I’m going to start mixing it up a bit and doing some fashion posts. A couple of my sisters will be joining me too. Be on the lookout! 🙂

It’s only right that my first fashion post is for Mother India. I love mixing traditional Indian wear for Indian/American inspired looks. My sis and I went to see Phantom of the Opera. We both wore traditional Indian clothes as separates and put a “western” twist on our outfits.

 

Nadia (left) is wearing gold churidar and I’m (right) wearing the top of a salwar kameez as a dress. Nadia mixed her fit with an oversized black sweater, a hand embroidered scarf and choker from one of my favorite jewelry designers, Suhani Pittie, from my dad’s hometown, Hyderabad.

Charminar’s Beauty + Mongolian Dinner

HYDERABAD, India. An amazing afternoon adventure to Charminar with the fam + the first and most delicious Mongolian dinner I’ve ever had. After breakfast and visiting my uncle and aunt, my dad’s eldest sister (post to come!), we headed to Charminar, one of Hyderabad’s most famous landmarks. It is a beautiful, historic monument, also referred to as the Old Town and also known for it’s amazing shopping. I thought Shilparamam was great, Charminar topped it off even through the rain. Charminar had the most beautiful bangles, jewelry, jutti and architecture. We totally didn’t have enough time here and the rain kind of cut us short. I’m glad we had a chance to experience this gorgeous old town at all. (Thanks Daddy!)
