Gypsetting in Heritage backyards of Fort Pachewargarh | Bandhani Print Jacket

As a blogger I love adding more taste to my existing style.  Experiments never stop for me. That is the spirit I work with. And that is the spirit which keeps me meandering into trends, doing things with a perspective . Fashion is about dreams. How I incorporate mine into my real and busy life is in my hands, especially when I have a vent window.

Two people had a special role for this post and my Aha moment !!!!

One Mr. Hubs for planning this surprise trip to Fort Pachewar ( a heritage fort/ haveli near jaipur now solely managed by us) and letting me escape from the life I have.

Second Aki who designed this bespoke Bandhej jacket from her label Gulaal Creations. Sending me what I needed just to put this look together and my true gypsy disguise which came out at a free wheeling place which is now close to my heart. The signature  print ( famous from jaipur ) itself is very extravagant and lends a wanderlust meets the high luxe vibe. Tomorrow being Holi, I couldn't have asked for a more opportune time to post about Gulaal Creations :)

This look is elusive , its mysterious, contemporary in its own way, and somewhat narrates forgotten tales of a lost generation. The place (the fort ) also being a wanderlust, has seen many generations too.

Gypsies were always pushed out of the neighbourhood in the name of the progress, in the same way out of many fights and the ill timed sieges that took place within this fort boundaries, there were horses and war, men and caravans and families got scattered too. 

If this reason is not mysterious  enough to let me snap back into the saddle and rehash the past  I don't know what will.  

The spirit to leave home and secede from the conventional , its when I actually cherished being a vagabond ,never a part of herd, forgetting glamour for a while, still sinking close to my old elements.

Who knew Gypsetting into style could be so enriching ?

Happy to have learnt and discovered this side of me . Cheers !!

Happy Holi 

Autumn Layering with Indian Bandhani Print Maxi Dress

Hope You all had a great Halloween ? I just came back from a tiny escapade to Pench Tiger Reserve and it was one of the most  thrilling trips we had in such a long time.... More on that in future posts.
Its a known fact, that I have some admiration to mix Indian pieces with a bit of modernism. I don't know when this style sprung up, or what Inspired me at that moment. Safe to say, I like experimenting things , and the appreciation was the the only driving philosophy behind all this little brushstrokes styles, I have been trying out.
Sometimes , its the contrast of colors, that works the best, or maybe the prints, but their is something so substance fueled about Indian handicrafts that conjure the Inventive Imaginations into something that it takes an instant switch for me to turn up the level of fusion wear Incarnations on my blog.
For this outfit, I picked up the beautiful colored Bandhani Print Maxi dress from Bandhej, and tried on this embroidered jacket, and I was sold in a minute. The color complements so well, that I took a minute to warm up to the decision and brought them home. I can't wait to explore more hybrid patterns and fusion staples that I could bring forth with these prints, and display my freewheeling mix of Indian culture on a platter for Y'all !!
