Updates + IIJW

Yes, yes it's been like three years since my last post. Ok, more like three months. I know, I have neglected this blog. A lot. I just didn't really have anything to blog about, so I left it alone. Instead, I spent tons of time on Tumblr (more on that later). But in the last couple of weeks Delhi Couture Week passed, and India International Jewelry Week is in progress, so fear not dear readers, my reviews are on their way!!

Firstly, Amrapali. Oh Amrapali! A quick snapshot of the collection - nothing exciting or new (as far as I could see), but every piece was oh-so-deliciously, sinfully drool worthy. There were maang-tikas, pendants, chokers, bangles, arm bands, belts, cuffs, bracelets, and rings, presented in a variety of techniques. My favorites were the impossibly thick gold cuffs, statement rings, kundan jewelry (especially the stuff modeled by Kangana Ranaut) and all of the lovely silver jewelry. I want them all! Alas.

But, a girl can dream :)

Here's your snapshot of Amrapali - more to come soon!

Stay tuned for reviews of Delhi Couture Week and more, coming soon :)

Lakme Fashion Week 2010 | Anita Dongre

Anita Dongre at Lakme Fashion Week! The clothes were cool, especially the ethnic ones, but the jewelry by Amrapali was what really caught my eye! LOVE!

 

All that glitters in this case, is silver! I love silver ethnic jewelry -- especially statement pieces! Have I mentioned how much I heart Amrapali!

 

The jewelry! OMG!

Guilty Treasures!

What woman doesn't love jewelry?? But being a student, I can hardly afford all of the lovely gems out there, but nevertheless, it doesn't prevent me at all from window shopping. Here are some pieces that I am totally in love with at the moment. Most of them go along with my current princess-y mood :)

These are from artkarat.com - the Nizam collection.

From bargello.com - everything is pretty expensive but absolutely to die for!!

These are all from Tanishq - one of my favorite places to window shop at! See http://www.tanishq.co.in/ for more! 

These are both from Amrapali Jewels - they have the most gorgeous Maharani-like jewelry! I am totally in love with both of these necklaces - especially the red one!

Alright, I think that's enough drooling over jewels for today - more to come later! I promise :)
