Exclusively.IN + Fashionhogger

My sister and I have been fans of Exclusively.in for a while, now.  For luxurious indian fashion, jewellery and accessories, they have the best access to top Indian designers and hand-curated selections.  

Having started in the Spring of 2010 by a small group of Indo-Americans, Exclusively.in is the destination for gorgeous textiles in vibrant colours and intricate craftmanship. The age-old tradtional sari finds itself reinvented for a new generation of modern expectations.  This gap between old and new is what Exclusively.in strives to bridge, allowing us in the Western world to appreciate and easily attain Eastern traditions which before was beyond our reach.

Magazine Covers

From a photographic perspective, magazine covers are one of my favourite things.  So much glamour and style is put into getting that cover page.  Of course, it's amazing how Photoshopped some of them are (and by some, I mean most, if not, all)!  Emma Stone, on the covers of Elle and Vanity Fair, looks vibrant and fun, but of course the Fuggirls always have something to say about covers that look wonky.  Still, Vanity Fair and Vogue (US, India,UK, Italia) usually have the most outstanding covers.

What's your favourite magazine to buy and are you swayed by who's on the cover?

 

 

Seersucker + Dad

I have two seersucker pieces, a pair of pants and shorts and they're so perfect for summer. 

Stella McCartney's Spring RTW 2012 collection showcases a lot of Hawaiian prints, bright colours, black n' white, houndstooth and a lot of seersucker. 



The origin of the word and material can be traced to India (derived from Hindi's sīrsakar which in turn comes from the Persian word: shīroshakar = milk + sugar) and was worn by the British in India during the hot climates.  It later made it's way to the U.S in the form of suits for Southern gentlemen.

So maybe something seersucker-y for Dad on Father's Day?

I love these gorgeous and hand-made Alexander Olch seersucker ties.



Great seersucker and gingham short sleeved shirt.



Perfect for the summer, a seersucker bathrobe!

Luxemi

Refinery29 just annouced the launch of Luxemi.com, the online source for lovely indian clothing, which you can RENT from too.  If you've ever been to an Indian wedding or function, you know how expensive those outfits can be, not to mention the accessories (which btw, they rent out, too!) and often times you'll only wear a sari, that you bought for $$$, once!  Sign me up!

Red Pants

I so want a pair of red pants for the summer.  Goes so well with camel, don't you think? Is this something you'd wear ladies?
